Chapter 28 Is he really just a rich idler?
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu was also a little worried. Wei Yuanmin was easy to deal with, but it was really not an easy task to guard against the Yao family's shady moves behind the scenes.
However, she did not intend to tell the Queen Mother about this. She just smiled and said, "As long as you and the Ji family are doing well, they won't dare to do anything to me, and I won't let myself be wronged in vain. Before I entered the palace, the prince said that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he planned to take me to live in a manor outside the capital for a few days. They can do whatever they want."
The Queen Mother's brows relaxed upon hearing this: "Assuredly, the prince knows he cares for you."
Ji Yunshu talked to the Queen Mother for a while before leaving.
As soon as I walked out of the palace, I saw a carriage parked not far away.
Jingzhe got out of the car, walked up to her and said respectfully: "Madam, the prince is here to pick you up."
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised. She didn't ask anyone to tell Zhao Shen that she was leaving the palace today.
When I got on the carriage, I saw Zhao Shen sitting inside with a book in his hand.
Seeing her come in, he looked up at her, put down the book in his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
Ji Yunshu heard his serious tone and asked with a hint of amusement, "How long have you been waiting? How did you know I was leaving the palace today?"
Zhao Shen poured her a cup of tea and took out a few plates of her favorite snacks and placed them on the table. He then said slowly, "Not long. The Empress gave birth to the prince safely, and the palace has almost finished handling the necessary matters. I figured it would be time for Madam to come out."
Seeing that he looked like he was going to stay in the carriage for who knows how long, Ji Yunshu asked in confusion, "It won't be long before we get home, what are you doing?"
Zhao Shen said, "Father plans to go to the princess's mansion to propose marriage for my second brother in the next two days. It won't be long before the mansion holds an engagement banquet. If we want to stay at the manor, we can only do so in the next few days."
Ji Yunshu looked at him suspiciously: "If we propose marriage these days, the engagement party won't be held for at least a month, right? Isn't that enough time?"
Zhao Shen was not embarrassed by what was said, and said calmly: "The mansion needs to prepare in advance. There is a lot of noise, and we can't help. It's better to stay in the manor for a few days."
Ji Yunshu felt that this excuse was even more lame than being pressed for time. "Qionghua Courtyard is quite remote. It's just a banquet. How big of a noise could it possibly make? Would it disturb you?"
Zhao Shen was repeatedly exposed by her and was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Aren't you complaining about the heat? I think the weather will get even hotter in a few days. The mansion hasn't started using ice yet..."
"I see. It's getting late. Let's get going."
It looks like he wants to hide away.
Could there be any unexpected changes in Zhao Heng’s marriage?
Ji Yunshu was guessing in his heart, but seeing that he was determined not to reveal his true purpose, he was too lazy to ask any more questions.
Anyway, she prefers going to the farm rather than staying in Qionghuayuan.
Zhao Shen knocked on the carriage and it started moving quickly.
Ji Yunshu has been in this place for such a long time. Although he always takes a carriage when going out, the distance is generally not very long, and the roads in the capital are very smooth.
As soon as the carriage left the city gate and got onto the small road, it began to shake.
She couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?"
Zhao Shen took his eyes off the book in his hand, glanced out the car window and said, "It will take another half an hour. If you are bored, you can read a book for a while."
Ji Yunshu admired the fact that he could still read in such a bumpy car without feeling tired of his eyes.
But she wasn't interested.
These days, she needs to quickly understand and integrate into the world in the book, so she reads whenever she has time.
Could it be that Zhao Shen thought that she was someone who used reading as a pastime like him?
The carriage was small, hot, cramped, and bumpy. Ji Yunshu felt uncomfortable all over and had to find something to distract himself.
She looked at Zhao Shen and saw that he was staring at the book, as if he was oblivious to everything around him.
He was wearing a moon-white robe. Although it was made of very thin material, it covered his whole body tightly. He was completely different from the men in modern times who often go shirtless and wear shorts on hot days.
After a while, he seemed to be finally disturbed by her gaze, and raised his eyes again and asked: "Why are you looking at me?"
Ji Yunshu held his chin and said, "You look good."
Zhao Shen looked at her expressionlessly.
Ji Yunshu said this from time to time, and he was used to it.
Without the initial reaction, Ji Yunshu felt bored and changed the subject, asking, "You don't seem to be curious about what happened in the palace?"
Although Zhao Shen has always been calm and composed, it is still not normal that he has not asked any questions since she left the palace.
Ji Yunshu didn't think he thought he shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the harem, but more like...
He knows everything.
But this shouldn't be the case.
The Queen was drugged in the Queen Mother's palace. No matter what the details are, it is still not a good thing to say such things.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager immediately sealed off the Ningshou Palace, not only to find the real murderer, but also to block the news.
Although there has been a lot of commotion in the harem these days, it has been overshadowed by the news that the queen has given birth to a prince.
In the face of such a happy event, smart people would not try to find out what exactly happened in the harem.
But Zhao Shen seems to have his own information channels.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but wonder, is he really just a rich and idle person?
Zhao Shen held the scroll in one hand and said calmly, "Didn't the Queen Mother tell you that you can't tell outsiders about what happens in the palace?"
Ji Yunshu said with a grin, "How can you be considered an outsider? If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to enter the palace in time. The Queen's pregnancy would have been in jeopardy."
After all, the queen in the book failed to give birth to a child.
Zhao Shen looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. He found that Ji Yunshu seemed to know what was going to happen, but did not know the details.
This seemed to be the exact opposite of what she had said about dreaming.
Generally speaking, we can only dream about details, not the general direction of things.
But no matter what, many things were indeed different after she married me.
The queen gave birth to a prince, and the emperor took the opportunity to clean up those who had bad intentions around him.
Also discovered...
In short, everything is moving in a good direction.
"Then tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Knowing that Ji Yunshu was feeling uncomfortable due to the shaking of the carriage and wanted to talk to him, Zhao Shen followed her wishes and asked.
Ji Yunshu really felt uncomfortable. It would be too hot if she put more cushions under her, but it would be too bumpy and uncomfortable if she didn't.
She didn't know that going out would be such a suffering.
Zhao Shen saw her frowning and looking uncomfortable, and sighed in his heart that this little girl was too delicate.
Resignedly, he picked up the fan and fanned her: "You'd better put more cushions on the floor."
Feeling the slight coolness coming from the fan, Ji Yunshu finally felt a little relieved and recounted what happened in the palace.
When talking about the people in the Ministry of Punishment being silenced and the people who were supposed to be on duty deserting their posts.
Before Ji Yunshu could say who it was, Zhao Shen asked, "Is it Chen Nan?"
Although it is a question, it is in an affirmative tone.
Ji Yunshu opened his eyes wide: "How do you know?"
Zhao Shen said: "I guessed."
Ji Yunshu also felt that Zhao Shen could not be so well-informed, and if he knew it in advance, he should have reminded her before she entered the palace.
Just like what happens when the queen gives birth.
So it should be… “What else did this person do later?”
At least he did something that would make Zhao Shen remember him firmly.
