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

Time flies, and winter comes in the blink of an eye.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky. Ji Yunqing leaned against the gate of the courtyard and reached out to take the letter handed to him from outside.

On the other side of the door was a girl with a familiar face.

Her cheeks were red from the cold after walking all the way, and she was wearing a thin jacket that tried her best to highlight her slender figure.

Facing such beauty, Ji Yunqing couldn't help but look at her twice more.

The maid smiled and flattered: "Ji Shufei, I heard that Concubine Wen is really good to you. She writes to you every two or three days.

If it wasn't for that incident last time... our Concubine Wen would have wanted to come here in person."

For some unknown reason, one day the prince suddenly ordered that no one was allowed to approach Osmanthus Courtyard.

Ji Yunqing nodded in agreement: "It's not bad now. It's freezing cold, so it's good for us to write to each other so that she won't get cold. Otherwise, I'll be the one feeling bad."

The maid who delivered the letter: "..."

It is true that you won’t be frozen, but she won’t say who will be frozen.

Ji Yunqing opened the letter and read it: "Wait here, I will write a reply, it will be easier for you to take it back directly."

The maid who delivered the letter: "...I will listen to the concubine's orders."

She's waiting at the door!

Just when Ji Yunqing went to the study to write a letter, a group of people were walking towards this side in the distance.

The maid accidentally saw it and was immediately delighted.

Hard work pays off, and she finally got her chance!

She quickly smoothed her hair and casually pulled open a little of her collar, revealing a small patch of fair skin on her neck.

The most fortunate thing is that she drew her eyebrows and put on lip balm today.

I watched the tall man surrounded in the middle getting closer and closer with an extraordinary momentum.

The maid couldn't help but blush and her cheeks became hot.

With a trembling voice, she bowed and said, "Your servant greets His Majesty."

King Zhao didn't even look at her, he just stepped over the threshold and into the yard.

Seeing that the opportunity was about to be lost, the maid gritted her teeth, unwilling to give up.

"oops!"

The maid's body went limp and she fell uncontrollably, right into King Zhao's arms.

She had already thought of what to say. It was so cold and she had been standing for so long that her legs and feet were inevitably a little stiff.

It not only shows how pitiful and sympathetic she is, but also shows how cruel and ruthless Concubine Ji is and how she treats her servants harshly.

If the prince investigated more carefully, he would find out that Concubine Ji and Concubine Wen were having an affair with each other and were forcing her, a poor and innocent little maid, to deliver letters to them.

After further investigation, the prince will find out that she is not a maid, but the cousin of Concubine Wen.

However, she was suppressed and forced by the arrogant Concubine Wen and was brought into the palace to be a maid, where she was bullied everywhere.

Thinking this in her mind, the maid did not fall into anyone's arms, but fell heavily to the ground.

The maid lying on the ground: "..."

She looked up at the tall and imposing man. Could it be that the prince didn't see her?

Yes.

With so many people watching, the prince has always been polite and a gentleman. He is completely different from those men who can't walk when they see a woman.

If you fail this time, look for another opportunity.

King Zhao said as he walked: "Replace the maid outside the door."

He can't even stand steadily, so shouldn't he turn around and throw himself into Yun Qing's arms?

He had spent a lot of time to correct Yun Qing's bad habits during this period of time, and he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste because of a maid.

Eunuch Shi responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty"

Ji Yunqing, who had just heard the news, came out and heard what King Zhao said. He greeted him and asked, "What is the prince talking about?"

King Zhao said calmly: "Nothing."

He was just eliminating a potential dissident.

After hearing what King Zhao said, Ji Yunqing tactfully did not ask any more questions, regardless of whether there was anything wrong or not.

When Ji Yunqing came over and walked inside holding King Zhao's arm, he glanced at the door as if unintentionally.

No one is seen?

Could it be that the maid thought the weather was too cold and ran away secretly?

Or did he see King Zhao coming and hide away out of cowardice?

That maid doesn’t seem like that kind of person, does she?

Never mind. She would just ask when she comes next time.

The man who was carefully observing Ji Yunqing's facial expression saw Ji Yunqing secretly looking towards the door.

What is this doing?

She was standing here, but she actually looked towards the door.

King Zhao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that there was something wrong with that maid. She even dared to try to get close to the concubine in the mansion. How bold of her!

Fortunately, he acted decisively.

King Zhao stretched out his long arms and hugged the other's shoulders with an irresistible force: "Yun Qing, what are you looking at?"

“I didn’t see anything”

Ji Yunqing regained his composure and looked at Prince Zhao with a smile: "My Lord, it's so cold today, and there are snowflakes falling. I thought you wouldn't come today."

As soon as she said this, King Zhao immediately became alert.

She's so reluctant to have him come over, could it be that some blind little bug has sneaked in again?

Thinking of this, King Zhao looked towards the room with a bit of vigilance.

He said calmly: "It's so cold, come in quickly, don't stand outside in the cold."

Ji Yunqing did not suspect anything - mainly because it was really strange during this period of time and no one else came over, so he went into the house with King Zhao.

After entering, Ji Yunqing looked at King Zhao in confusion as he walked around the room unintentionally and inexplicably.

Seeing King Zhao reaching out to open the drawer of her cabinet and looking through the palm-sized secret compartments, Ji Yunqing finally lost her composure.

"My Lord, are you looking for something?"

Don’t turn it over. The next small secret compartment contains one of her precious treasury items. Does King Zhao want to... confiscate her property?

King Zhao withdrew his hand calmly and said, "I'm not looking for anything, I'm just looking around."

He was looking for something hidden... an adulteress

Ji Yunqing: “…” So they are really confiscating the house?

After making sure there were no living people, King Zhao looked at Ji Yunqing and said, "I came here this time to tell you a good news."

"What good news?"

Ji Yunqing asked curiously.

At the same time, she walked to King Zhao and looked at him with her clear and bright eyes, as if she was looking forward to what he would say next.

King Zhao admired it with pleasure. At this moment, the other party only had eyes for him. This was really great.

So he wanted more, wanted this woman to only look at him from now on, was there anything wrong with that?

Seeing that King Zhao was hesitant to speak, Ji Yunqing urged him, stretched out a hand and gently pulled the other's sleeve, and his tone unconsciously became dependent:

"Your Majesty, what do you want to say? Is it good news about me? Tell me quickly."

King Zhao then spoke: "I have already requested an imperial decree. Next spring, I will appoint you as my concubine."

"really?"

Ji Yunqing was startled at first, then happily threw himself on King Zhao and said with a smile: "This is really great!"

As she spoke, she turned around and took out a black thing from the small compartment in the room:

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll give you a roasted sweet potato to try. I roasted it myself."
