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

King Zhao was so busy that he worked until the end of the year.

During this period, Ji Yunqing rarely saw King Zhao, and even if he did, it was only a few brief encounters.

The yard was too cold and snowflakes were often falling, so her activities were limited to a few rooms.

As time went on, I became more and more bored.

She sat in front of the study window with a rare look of sadness, looking up at the sky outside the wall, wanting to recite a few lines of poetry to express her rich emotions.

But after trying for a long time, she could only say "The snow is so heavy this year!"

Somewhat embarrassing.

Turning around, Ruirui was practicing calligraphy seriously with a pen at the desk.

He was very young, so the desk King Zhao provided him was a custom-made one, and the brush he used for writing was also small, the size was just right for a child.

At this moment, the little guy's childish face showed a bit more concentration, his long eyelashes didn't blink, his rosy lips were tightly pursed, and he finished writing a big character seriously.

Only then did they stop to rest.

After all, she is still young, so Ruirui simply practices writing a few words with a pen every day.

The little guy took the book and read a passage. After reading it several times, he successfully memorized it.

As she watched, Ji Yunqing secretly sighed that this child was worthy of being hers.

Just let her be, smart!

After completing her task, Ruirui noticed the gaze and looked up in confusion, "Mother?"

Ji Yunqing suddenly had an idea: "Rui Rui, I plan to learn a talent!"

Anyway, it's windy and snowing now, isn't this a good time to quietly work on surprising everyone?

"Well—just learn to play the piano!"

Ji Yunqing did what he said and asked the maid to bring the guqin. He then played the guqin by the window facing the wind and snow outside.

When the maids saw this scene, they all said they had something to do.

The New Year is coming soon, it's time to clean the windows.

The floor should also be swept thoroughly.

The warehouse is so messy that you can't even step in. Now is a good time to clean it up.

In short, he was extremely busy and had no time to listen to the concubine playing the piano.

Ji Yunqing ignored them, put his fingers on the strings, imagined himself as a guqin master, and began to play.

Tired of practicing the piano in the afternoon, she started drawing and writing.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she has to quickly write the Spring Festival couplets and paint the door gods.

A few days later, the servants in the mansion began to spread the news privately.

Concubine Ji is crazy!

I heard that every day there are shrill, hoarse or noisy piano sounds coming from Guihuayuan. If this isn't crazy, what is?

Can a normal person do this?

When the princess heard the news, she was stunned for a moment.

"crazy?"

She has been very busy these days.

During the New Year holidays, the mansion has to give and receive gifts, there are new families that need gifts, people who need to be picked out and no longer need to be socialized with, people who need to be visited and inquired in person... and so on and so forth. It's so busy that one is dizzy.

Thinking that Yun Qing is now under house arrest and cannot go out, I just need to keep an eye on the treatment and meals in Guihuayuan.

The princess sat on the couch and murmured, "...Is it really that serious?"

Seeing the princess so sad, Madam Lou was delighted and hurried forward to comfort her:

"Since this is the case, Princess, please don't be sad anymore. It's normal to think about it.

Concubine Ji has not been allowed to see outsiders for a long time, and the prince is busy with things. This is also human nature, what a pity."

"It's also because Concubine Ji is unlucky. The princess treats her very well, but she doesn't know she is thinking about the princess in her heart.

If I care about you, I should keep persisting just to see you again."

Although Nanny Lou said this, she was actually very happy in her heart. What a noble status a princess is!

How could that rude and impolite concubine Ji be worthy of the noble princess?

Lou Ma secretly commented in her heart: A flower stuck in cow dung

At this moment, the princess suddenly stood up.

Nanny Lou was shocked when she saw this.

"Princess, what are you..."

The princess looked at her, her brows full of worry: "Mammy, I should go and see Yun Qing with my own eyes. If it's true, if it's true..."

Madam Lou was anxious: "Princess, you must not do that!"

"The prince has personally ordered that no one is allowed to approach the Osmanthus Courtyard, let alone enter it."

"Besides, Concubine Ji is already crazy. Even if you go, what's the point? It will only make her sad."

The princess held a different opinion: "Mammy, if she is still okay, I will definitely save her. Why worry about her not relying on me then?

If he is really stupid, it is because the prince has locked him up. Go and ask where there is a medicine that can cause amnesia.

When she eats it and wakes up again, she will have forgotten everything that happened before and will only recognize me. Then we will be a loving couple and there will be no more issues about Concubine Wen and Prince Zhao."

In this case, you have to secretly build a house outside and take good care of the person.

Madam Lou had not expected that the princess had such a bold idea. She was dumbfounded: "Princess, this..."

She hurriedly stopped the princess: "You can't do this. No matter how crazy Concubine Ji is, she still wants to see the body alive or dead."

"Why don't you get a good and obedient girl, like Ninglan? You hold her indenture in your hands, so even if you ask her to come over tonight, she won't dare to disobey!"

Nanny Lou became so angry that she no longer cared about her niece's innocence and was only concerned about making the princess happy.

"Or other girls in the mansion, if you like them, they'll be easy to deal with, or girls like Ai Ye and Ai Cao who just got married? They are also gentle and very obedient."

"Or maybe..."

Madam Lou gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind. She lifted her chin slightly, revealing a face as red as orange peel, and said, "Even if I am an old slave, I will allow the princess to do whatever she wants!"

princess:"……"

This is not necessary.

"...Mammy, calm down."

After being interrupted by Nanny Lou, the princess temporarily gave up the idea.

"Rumors are not credible after all. Mammy, please send someone to check it out."

"Yes, Princess, rest assured, I will go and see it myself."

Nanny Lou agreed to this, but in her heart she felt that Concubine Ji's madness was good and wonderful.

She rolled her eyes and went to the Osmanthus Courtyard in person.

But when I was a hundred meters away from the Osmanthus Courtyard, I heard the indescribable sound of the piano... like a strong wind passing through, lightning and thunder.

Nanny Lou: ...No need to look anymore, Concubine Ji must be crazy!

She turned and left.

Princess, I have seen with my own eyes that Concubine Ji has really gone crazy!

When other people in the mansion heard the news, they also had different thoughts.

"Okay, crazy is fine. Only a madman will stay still and not make trouble."

"She's actually crazy? Great!"

"It seems I must find a way to go over and take a look."

"If this is the case, how can Concubine Ji take care of the young Fourth Young Master? Here's our chance!"

"..."

As the news spread, the mansion suddenly became even more chaotic.

Ji Yunqing was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. She continued to practice piano, painting, and calligraphy with concentration and regularity.

New Year's Eve is coming soon.

Everyone in the palace discovered that there was one more candidate entering the palace this time.

The princess stood beside Prince Zhao, on one side stood Concubine Wen, and on the other side... stood Concubine Li, who was looking down and gentle!
