Chapter 175 I promise you I won't let her go
But if you think about it carefully, life is often hard to tell whether you like it or not. Her life now is much better than she expected.
Zhao Shen was practically indulgent towards her, never interfering in her affairs and even providing help when needed.
Ji Yunshu hugged Zhao Shen's neck and kissed him, saying, "I do everything I like."
She had a smile on her face and her skin was fair and smooth, seeming to glow under the light.
Zhao Shen was so attracted by her that he didn't have time to think about any common interests. He put his arm around her waist and kissed her back fiercely.
The two of them played on the couch for a while, and Lu Ru had already brought people to set the table.
Ji Yunshu saw a black-bone chicken soup on the table. The soup was clear and contained longan, red dates, and wolfberry. It looked delicious.
She took a sip and found it delicious with a hint of sweetness, not greasy at all. Her eyes lit up: "This soup is good, it tastes different than the usual ones."
Lu Ru smiled and said, "This wasn't made by our chef. It was just brought back by the prince. Naturally, the taste is different."
Ji Yunshu didn't expect Zhao Shen to bring her soup, and couldn't help but look over.
Zhao Shen wasn't hungry at the moment, so he didn't pick up his chopsticks. He just filled a bowl of soup and drank it slowly. When he saw her looking at him, he said, "I went out to eat with someone today, and I thought this soup was good, so I ordered an extra portion."
"Thank you for your consideration. It is indeed delicious."
Ji Yunshu smiled with his eyebrows curved, and poured another bowl of soup to drink.
Anyway, it was already evening and she didn't want to eat too much, so drinking this chicken soup was just right for her.
Zhao Shen remembered that she had never shied away from her official business in the past and would always ask a few more questions.
But now, it seems that I have lost interest in those things.
Before, when he said he had something to do, she didn't ask a single question. Now that he said he was going to dinner with someone, she wasn't curious about who he was going with or what the matter was.
His eyes darkened for a moment, and then he took the initiative to speak: "Do you remember Zhou Qingbang, the governor of Suzhou?"
Ji Yunshu was busy drinking soup and nodded.
Zhao Shen continued, "He wrote a letter of divorce before he died. I promised to protect his two children, and I have already sent them back to the Qin family. The Qin family's master is holding a banquet today to thank me."
Ji Yunshu suddenly had an idea. It had been a while since they came back, and the Qin family was holding a banquet to express their gratitude at this time. It was hard to say that there was no other reason.
But it's none of her business.
Ji Yunshu nodded to indicate that he understood, then touched his stomach, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't drink any more.
Seeing this, Zhao Shen said, "If you like it, I'll bring it back for you."
Ji Yunshu responded with a smile: "Yeah, it's quite delicious. I wonder if the chef in our mansion can make it taste like this?"
Lu Ru said with great interest: "I'll do some research, it shouldn't be difficult."
It's just a soup, right? You can make it with a few tries.
Ji Yunshu said, "Then you can try it. If it doesn't work, you can ask the chef at the restaurant."
Generally, chefs will not tell others about their special skills, but they can buy them or exchange them for other recipes.
Zhao Shen saw that her attention was on the soup from beginning to end, and didn't know what to say.
After sending everyone out of the room, he asked, "Why don't you ask about Lu Ningshuang?"
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "It's only been a day, and she's already making a move?"
Zhao Shen pursed his lips and said, "She has left the capital."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised. Lu Ningshuang's identity was exposed and she became a dead person after a fire. There was no point for her to stay in the capital.
"It's good that she left."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say, so she said dryly when she saw Zhao Shen staring at her.
Zhao Shen pulled her onto his lap: "Are you still angry with me?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him strangely: "What's so good about this?"
She just figured it out. It would do her no good to worry about those things.
The emperor couldn't even tolerate the empress dowager interfering in state affairs, so how could he tolerate her?
In order to save her own life, she had intervened in the affairs of the harem several times before, which was actually considered out of line.
Now is the time to take this opportunity to return to the inner house and make money in peace.
She couldn't let herself develop the habit of relying on the emperor and Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen looked at her deeply: "I promised you that I would not let her go."
Ji Yunshu smiled: "She's just leaving temporarily, you won't let her go, right?"
She was sensible and understanding, but Zhao Shen felt uncomfortable. However, he could not say anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I will not let her go."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "That's good."
Zhao Shen looked at her with deep eyes. Ji Yunshu pushed him and said, "Are you going to sleep? Or do you want to go to the study and read for a while?"
It was still early. Ji Yunshu had taken a nap during the day and was not actually sleepy, but she found that apart from the mess outside, she and Zhao Shen seemed to have nothing to talk about.
It's boring for the two of them to just stare at each other, so they might as well just do what they need to do.
In the past, Zhao Shen didn't stick to her as soon as he came back like he does now.
Zhao Shen said aggrievedly, "Are you chasing me away?"
Ji Yunshu was helpless: "Isn't this because I'm afraid of delaying your business?"
"I'm fine."
Ji Yunshu touched the firm muscles of his abdomen and smiled seductively: "Then let's rest early."
Zhao Shen: He suspected that Ji Yunshu was just after his body.
When Zhao Shen woke up the next day, he was still a little dazed, and he let Ji Yunshu fool him.
He had to go to court, so he left early and did not disturb Ji Yunshu.
When Ji Yunshu got up, it was already late.
She didn't have the habit of paying her respects to Mrs. Yao every day, so she got up slowly, dressed herself, and asked someone to serve the meal.
But unexpectedly, Wei Yuanmin came halfway through the meal.
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and entertain the guests.
Wei Yuanmin hadn't expected Ji Yunshu to live such a lazy life, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Is my sister-in-law having breakfast or lunch?"
Ji Yunshu: "...Eat when you're hungry. Who says we have to have breakfast and lunch?"
Wei Yuanmin also felt that his words were a bit too blunt, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law is right, you live such a free and easy life, it's really enviable."
She meant what she said sincerely. Even girls in the boudoir should visit their elders every morning and evening and show filial piety to them.
But Ji Yunshu was a married young wife, and her mother-in-law was her second wife, and she was very generous. She only needed to pay her respects to her every now and then. This kind of life was what all women dreamed of.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't envy me. We will be a family from now on, and you will naturally be the same as me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuanmin lowered her head shyly and said, "When I got married, my mother told me not to take advantage of my status and do anything reckless. My mother-in-law is naturally considerate, but as a daughter-in-law, I must also fulfill my proper etiquette."
Ji Yunshu looked at her shy expression, feeling annoyed, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, sister-in-law. How could I stop you from fulfilling your filial piety? After all, the prince is not mother's biological son. Even I am a layer away, so we can't be close. I will feel relieved that sister-in-law will be by mother's side to fulfill her filial piety in the future."
