Chapter 627 The person I liked when I was young
Ji Yunshu was not anxious at all. As long as there was no movement from the Yu family, she would pretend not to know.
She thought Yu Qi would take action, but it turned out that he was more patient than she expected.
Zhao Shen came back for several days in a row, and Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask him if he had encountered anything special.
Zhao Shen looked helpless: "What special thing do you want me to encounter? Miss Yu Qi coming to throw herself into my arms?"
Ji Yunshu blinked: "Really?"
Zhao Shen: "No, if she doesn't even know what to do at this time, Prince Yong and the Yu family will not entrust her with such an important task."
Ji Yunshu curled his lips: "What kind of task is it to hook up with you?"
Zhao Shen said, "It's also possible that she's trying to hook up with someone else. Princess Rong'an didn't say it out loud that day, so no one knows if she was just hinting at that intention, or if the Yu family really has that intention."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's another possibility. The Yu family did have that intention, but they planned to do it privately, but Princess Rong'an brought it out into the open. Have you found out what's going on with Princess Rong'an?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "The people we sent to investigate the Yu family sent back a letter saying that there was nothing unusual about Princess Rong'an. She has gained quite a reputation within the Yu family over the years, and everyone in the family seems to like her very much."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Are you sure you are talking about Princess Rong'an?"
She felt that Princess Rong'an didn't seem like a likable person based on her mouth.
However, she soon realized that the other party might simply hate her and therefore spoke to her with ill intentions.
Zhao Shen didn't take her question seriously: "Princess Rong'an grew up in the palace after all, and was very much loved by the late emperor. She should have quite a bit of experience in how to please others."
He spoke with a calm expression, and Ji Yunshu couldn't tell whether his words were praise or criticism.
"According to what you said, she should be a very good social person. Then why does she show her hostility towards me? I don't remember ever offending her."
In essence, she has no conflict of interest with Princess Rong'an.
As far as she could remember, the two of them had never had any conflicts before, and Ji Yunshu really didn't understand why Princess Rong'an was targeting her.
Zhao Shen didn't understand this either. "People like her really shouldn't show their likes and dislikes on their faces. Maybe she has other motives."
After he said that, Ji Yunshu became even more confused: "You are me. She deliberately destroyed the Yu family's plan. Maybe she was reminding me of something? But why do I feel that she really hates me?"
Zhao Shen analyzed rationally: "To see whether someone likes or hates you, you should not only look at their words and actions, but also look at what they have done to you. At least so far, Princess Rong'an has not done anything bad to you."
Even Princess Rong'an reminded her of Yu Qi's purpose in coming to Beijing.
Although Miss Yu Qi was silent now, Ji Yunshu knew that she was coming for Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu felt that if Princess Rong'an hadn't said anything, what Yao had done to Marquis Zhao might not necessarily happen to Zhao Shen.
When Ji Yunshu saw Yu Qi, she had a very familiar feeling. Now that she thought about it, she looked like Yao.
It's not the appearance, but the temperament.
Ji Yunshu was silent for a long time. "I once heard a story about Princess Rong'an from my aunt. She said that when the emperor arranged her marriage, she actually already had a lover."
Regardless of whether Princess Rong'an really hates her or is pretending to hate her, Ji Yunshu cannot ignore her.
So before the Yu family takes any action, she must first find out what Princess Rong'an wants to do?
Ji Yunshu felt that one could always find some clues about a person's motives from her past.
Originally, this was Princess Rong'an's private matter, and it concerned the other party's reputation, so she shouldn't have said it.
But I can’t care so much now.
Zhao Shen is more perceptive than her, and she is now accustomed to throwing things that she cannot figure out to Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen's expression didn't change when he heard this, but his mind was working rapidly.
"The princess rarely has the opportunity to leave the harem. The men she can meet are either those who can enter the harem or the palace guards."
Ji Yunshu was confused: "What's the use of knowing this?"
Zhao Shen: "You said it yourself, don't you know what the use is?"
Ji Yunshu: "I just think that if I know what happened to her, I might be able to figure out what she wants to do."
Zhao Shen nodded. "You're right. So now we need to know what happened to her. The person she loved when she was young must be very important."
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to follow his line of thought and analyze: "There are not many men who have the opportunity to enter and leave the harem. It's difficult for her to have a connection with her. So she must be a guard."
The harem is a very special place. It is home to the emperor's concubines, so generally no men are allowed to enter or leave.
In very rare cases, the family members of the imperial concubines may be granted permission to enter, such as Ji Changlin and Ji Yunlan, whom the empress dowager can summon.
But even they would only enter the harem to see the empress dowager once every few years.
And the whole process cannot be out of human sight.
So it is impossible to have any intersection with the princess.
The guards are more likely.
She also remembered her aunt saying that after Princess Rong'an got married, her biological mother, Concubine Hui, dealt with a group of guards.
My aunt also discovered the clue from this incident.
Zhao Shen nodded: "I'll send someone to check it out immediately."
He immediately asked Jingzhe to check the news.
Zhao Shen had just arrived at the Ministry of Works and had been very busy these days, leaving home early and returning late every day.
On the contrary, Ji Yunshu was a bit free. She had an appointment with Cen Xi to discuss the newly opened shop that day.
He went out early in the morning and went to the restaurant they often went to.
Ji Yunshu went to the restaurant to have breakfast before Cen Xi arrived.
Cen Xi was a little surprised: "Why are you here so early?"
Ji Yunshu waved his hand, had the leftovers removed, and replaced the tea before saying, "I'm quite free right now. I'm just sitting around doing nothing, so I decided to come out early. The chef in your restaurant is really good, and his cooking skills have improved."
Some chefs have fixed cooking techniques that remain the same for decades. The advantage is that the cooking techniques are stable.
Some chefs pursue the ultimate in taste buds, and they will constantly improve the same dish.
The chef of this restaurant is obviously the latter.
Cen Xi smiled and said, "Our master chef really enjoys researching new dishes. Even his signature dishes are improved from time to time. However, to cater to the tastes of the diners, the taste changes are not too big, and few people can taste it. How did you develop such a good tongue?"
Ji Yunshu: "I can't cook, but I can eat."
Lu Ru is also a person who likes to explore new dishes, and her taste is becoming more and more picky.
Most importantly, she is very sensitive to smells.
Cen Xi shook his head. "Everyone likes eating, but it's different. But it's a good thing you like eating, otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to do business together. I've already arranged the shop in the capital, and I'm just waiting to choose a date to open it."
