It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

Chapter 534

With this thought in mind, King Zhao shouted:

"Comer"

The door was pushed open, King Zhao stood up, walked through a curtain and motioned for someone to help him change his clothes.

Eunuch Shi came in with a group of servants, and with his head lowered, he quietly helped the prince wash and dress.

While serving diligently, Eunuch Shi heard a voice from above: "Where is Concubine Ji?"

When did Concubine Ji go out?

Eunuch Shi was confused: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ji is not here...she is..."

After hearing his words, King Zhao realized that no one knew when Ji Yunqing went out.

It seems that she went out earlier than everyone else!

King Zhao's curiosity was aroused: "Let's go find out what Concubine Ji is doing?"

"Yes"

Eunuch Shi lowered his head, bowed slightly, and retreated respectfully.

Other young eunuchs stepped forward to take over his work and continued to busy themselves with helping King Zhao get dressed.

I thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect that Eunuch Shi would come back to report shortly after he went out.

"Your Majesty, we have found the whereabouts of Concubine Ji"

King Zhao said: "Say"

"Early in the morning, Concubine Ji went to Concubine Li's place."

Eunuch Shi added: "I was just about to send someone to look for Concubine Ji, and I happened to see Miss Xuancao, who was by Concubine Ji's side, coming back, and I learned about Concubine Ji's whereabouts."

This shows that he is not talking nonsense.

"Call her over here"

Who to call?

Eunuch Shi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was asking Hemerocallis to come over.

Soon, Hemerocallis was brought before King Zhao.

"Tell me, what bad thing did your master do?"

When she was brought in, Hemerocallis looked panicked.

I just came back to get something, but unexpectedly I was called over by King Zhao.

She knelt down as soon as she entered the room: "Please spare my life, my lord. The concubine was just impulsive. We will persuade her to stop."

Now it was King Zhao's turn to have a frozen expression.

He actually went to do bad things?

He just said it casually.

"Your master has left the palace?"

King Zhao's voice was not loud, but his mere presence made people feel extremely oppressive.

Without her own concubine by her side, Xuancao felt uneasy.

"My Lord, I have not left the house."

It’s good that you don’t leave the house.

King Zhao felt much more relieved now.

As long as she doesn't leave the house, what trouble can she cause?

But even if he sneaked out of the house, he wouldn't cause any trouble.

King Zhao stood up and said, "Let's go."

Since he knew that the person was at Concubine Li's place, King Zhao found him quickly without anyone leading the way.

——It’s on the outer wall of Concubine Li.

King Zhao looked at the woman in front of him. Her clothes, which had been washed white, were now dyed with various colors, bright purple and red.

Just like the entire wall in front of her.

I have painted paintings of all sizes, including landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and even figure paintings.

It was a very long wall, which she had painted for thirty or forty meters.

King Zhao estimated that this would take a lot of effort, right?

She also applied the colors generously, and if the painting wasn't so bad, it would be quite beautiful.

I just wonder if Concubine Li would be happy when she sees these paintings.

King Zhao looked Ji Yunqing up and down and asked, "Are you tired after painting so much? Do you want to take a break?"

It really proves the old saying that people are most tireless when they are doing bad things.

Ji Yunqing was full of energy: "Not tired, I will quickly draw a few more pictures while no one is noticing, this is all because of the touching sisterhood!"

She always keeps her word. If she says she will play the piano or paint, she will definitely do it.

King Zhao admired it carefully and secretly guessed: "Did you... deliberately make it ugly?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunqing shook his head and denied it: "What nonsense are you talking about, Your Majesty? Is my painting not good? Is it because the wall is not built well enough?"

It seems like she is performing normally!

Upon hearing the news that Prince Zhao was coming, Concubine Li hurried over: "..."

She felt suffocated when she saw the colorful wall, and it became even worse when she heard what Ji Yunqing said.

You damaged her wall like this, and now you want to blame her wall?

Is this justified?

But since King Zhao was here, Concubine Li simply suppressed her temper and straightened her attitude:

"I wonder how I have offended Sister Ji that she has humiliated me like this?"

Although she said this, she looked at King Zhao with a slightly aggrieved look.

"That's all"

She shook her head helplessly, looked at Ji Yunqing with an inclusive look, and regained her composure: "As long as Sister Ji is happy, don't worry about the rest."

Looking at her posture, her demeanor, and her manner, she is obviously very suitable to be a concubine and help the princess with household management.

There was a hint of smile on Concubine Li's lips.

Hearing Concubine Li's words, Ji Yunqing denied it repeatedly and shook his left hand to leave an afterimage:

"No, no, how could I humiliate you?"

She walked up to Concubine Li in two or three steps, stood next to her, put her arm around her shoulders, and the two of them clung to each other like good sisters.

She said stickily, "I like you so much, but I always feel that you, Concubine Li, have some misunderstandings about me.

I'm thinking about what I should do to break your prejudice against me."

Because her movements were so fast, by the time Concubine Li realized it, the man was already sticking to her.

Concubine Li's eyes widened slightly. Ladies from wealthy families are usually taught to "start with emotion and end with etiquette". This is the first time she has been treated like this...

The prince was not among them.

Even the last time she was kissed on the cheek, it was only a light touch that disappeared in an instant.

Where is this...passionate side?

If she remembered correctly -

"Concubine Ji, did you rub the paint on me?"

This time, she was so angry that she didn't even call her "Sister Ji". Even considering that King Zhao was right in front of her, she really couldn't pretend anymore.

"Ah? Is there any?"

Ji Yunqing pretended to be dumbfounded. She didn't dare to ask Concubine Li to see, so she could only maintain the posture of hugging her: "Don't be angry first, I will think of how to comfort you,

By the way, do you want to draw? I can teach you. It’s fun to draw on the wall! "

She already knows how to do it, does she need you to teach her?

"Are you going to teach me how to paint, or on my wall?"

Concubine Li was so angry that her voice became unusually louder.

She looked at King Zhao aggrievedly: "My Lord!"

Like all old men whose bodies are half buried and whose children and grandchildren are unfilial, King Zhao subconsciously began to smooth things over.

"I have just acquired two pieces of Yunlingjin, why don't you two each take one?"

Concubine Li was so angry that she couldn't say anything: "My Lord, she made my clothes dirty!"

You still want to reward her for this?

Ji Yunqing was filled with joy, and excitedly touched Li Shufei's shoulder with his shoulder: "Doesn't that mean we are made of the same fabric?

Then we can make clothes together, with similar styles, and then use each other's extra fabrics to decorate each other.

When we go out and other people see us, they will know that we are together, we are sisters!"

Concubine Li choked. So I have to dress like you, like a sister?

Before Concubine Li could speak again, Ji Yunqing was already asking King Zhao.

"Your Majesty, after our clothes are ready, we will only wear some brocade clothes in the mansion at night.

When will you take us out to play? Then we can show off our new clothes?"

Prince Zhao and Concubine Li subconsciously thought: ... This doesn't seem to be how the Brocade Robe for Night Travel is used, right?

"Concubine Li, now that everything is settled, we can finally paint together, right?"

As he said that, Ji Yunqing pulled the person towards the wall.

Standing by the wall in a daze, Concubine Li came to her senses this time and shook off Ji Yunqing's hand: "Who said we wanted to paint?"

"Well, instead of painting, let's follow your wishes, Concubine Li, and play the piano."

Ji Yunqing readily followed suit and put down the brush in her hand, as she was also tired.

He waved to Hemerocallis who was waiting on the side.

Xuancao went back just to get the guqin.

The maids brought the zither stand and placed the zither on it. Ji Yunqing sat in front of the zither beautifully.

She got into position, and King Zhao suddenly said, "It's getting late, I need to go to the palace quickly."

Ji Yunqing waved his hand: "Your Majesty, please go quickly. We are fine here. Look how well we get along now."

King Zhao was worried, but after hearing Ji Yunqing's words, he felt a little relieved.

Although Ji Yunqing occasionally acts naughty, he is not a troublemaker, and Concubine Li is also a gentle person.

Before leaving, King Zhao specifically instructed: "If there is any dispute, put it aside for now and wait for me to come back to deal with it."

Finally, he said to Ji Yunqing: "You can just cause trouble to me, don't make things difficult for others."

Ji Yunqing felt that his words were simply a slander against her.

"When have I ever embarrassed the prince? Tell me honestly, am I gentle, kind, and shy?"

King Zhao was silent.

King Zhao avoided answering.

"You two should get along well. I am leaving first."

Less than half a quarter of an hour had passed since King Zhao left.

The hoarse and mocking sounds resounded through the sky, startling countless birds on the branches, which quickly flapped their wings and fled.

The last second, Concubine Li was still feeling sad that the prince left so quickly. Was he deliberately favoring Ji Yunqing and didn't want to punish her, so he made an excuse to leave in a hurry?

The next second, Concubine Li was left with a dull look in her eyes.

How could she forget that Ji Yunqing couldn't play the piano at all?

When she saw those messy paintings on the wall, she should have reacted!

One sentence kept turning in her mind: The prince is harming her!

Why didn't the prince take her with him when he left?

Concubine Li wanted to turn around and hide, but her courtyard was right next to her and she could hear everything clearly even if she went back.

"..."

The only thing I can do is to stop her from playing the piano.

Concubine Li looked towards Ji Yunqing, who was stroking the strings of the zither with his hands, his eyes gently closed, as if he was intoxicated in the world of music.

The whole person was intoxicated.

"Ji Shufei?"

"Ji Shufei!"

"Ji Shufei!!"

"Ji, Shu, Fei"

When the song was over, Ji Yunqing stopped and said, "What's wrong? Concubine Li, what did you ask me to do? Do you want to play the piano together?"

As she spoke, she stepped aside and said, "How about we play a song together?"

Ji Yunqing began to fantasize: "When the prince comes back and listens to the music we play together, he will be amazed and sigh that our piano skills are unmatched.

You insist on spending money to build a huge piano listening platform for us. If you are more educated, you can give it a nice name.

We can play the piano and draw together all day long, what a joy it is!"

When Concubine Li heard this, she felt dizzy as she thought she would play the piano and paint with him all day.

Ji Yunqing was very happy, smiling with his eyes curved: "We might become famous, and then famous all over the world, famous in history, and well-deserved.

When we die, we'll be buried together. When we get to the underworld, we can play the piano together!"

To Concubine Li, these words were like "When I die, even as a ghost, I will not let you go!"

She shuddered and felt a rare hint of fear.

Four days later, it's another day to pay respects.

Concubine Li's eyes turned blue, and she stood there with a haggard look on her face: "Princess, I think the previous rumors were all false.

There are many suspicious things about that little maid. Maybe she was instructed by someone. Concubine Ji must have been wrongly accused!"

The princess and everyone: Concubine Li's behavior is unexpected yet reasonable.

Princess: "Does Concubine Li really think so?"

Concubine Li Shu's expression was particularly firm: "I have always felt this way!"

"What about Concubine Ji?"

Ji Yunqing: "Ah? Are you asking me? I am innocent to begin with! Do I need to feel it?"

It's rare to find someone like her who never causes trouble and is so worry-free.

Concubine Li took a deep breath and said, "But Concubine Ji has been playing the zither recently. It's okay if she scared me, but it's not good to scare Miss Third, right?"

Concubine Li has a son and a daughter. The son is the eldest son in the mansion, and the daughter is the third child, one or two months older than Ruirui.

Ji Yunqing was puzzled: "Yes, just say something is missing. Why don't you take the child out to play? I haven't seen her these past few days!"

"The third young lady doesn't like to go out and play, which disappoints Concubine Ji," Concubine Li replied vigilantly.

She doesn't let her children come into contact with her to prevent them from learning bad things.

"Okay, since Concubine Li doesn't have that talent, then forget it."

Ji Yunqing was disappointed and decided to quit while he was ahead.

After everyone dispersed, the princess left Ji Yunqing behind and ran away.

The first thing he said was: "Are you finally calmed down?"

Ji Yunqing smacked her lips and pretended to be confused: "Princess, what are you talking about?"

Now that there was no one else around, she simply sat down and yawned: "Princess, I'm so tired. I haven't gotten a good night's sleep these days in order to fulfill my musical dream."

The princess said with a smile: "You deserve it!"

In the past, Concubine Li had often opposed her in private, otherwise how come Concubine Li was the only one who gave birth to a son smoothly among so many people?

"How can you say you deserve this?" Ji Yunqing refused to admit what he said.

She has always been very careful and never gives anyone a chance to criticize her.

If you say you are pursuing a musical dream, then you are pursuing a musical dream, and you must be stubborn to the end!

Seeing Ji Yunqing feeling sleepy while talking and trying to keep his eyes open in a daze, the princess couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

"Go inside and take a nap"

"No... the princess wants to talk to me." She nodded her head and said firmly, "I can't sleep."

If she sleeps here, how will she explain it to Concubine Wen later?

You'll have to coax people then.

"Go to sleep. We can talk when you wake up if you have anything to say!"

The princess' tone became a little tougher: "Or do you dislike me and don't want to rest here?"

Ji Yunqing realized the danger, and she hurriedly said: "Well, since the princess has invited me so kindly, I will not refuse it."
