Chapter 147: Don't Seduce Me Again
"Why did you think of opening a restaurant? You also opened a clinic before. What exactly are you going to do?"
Ji Yunshu knew that although the Queen Mother doted on him and didn't care about the little things on a daily basis, she would be very clear about the big things.
But she was short of money, and it was hard to explain. Her aunt probably wouldn't want her to get involved in those things, so she had no choice but to say, "I'm free anyway, so I just want to find something to do."
The Queen Mother asked suspiciously, "Is that so? Aren't you short of money?"
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh at the Queen Mother's sharpness, and hurriedly said with a smile: "How could that be? You know how much my dowry is. No matter who is short of money, I can't be short of money."
The Queen Mother thought about it and felt that what she said was right, but she was still confused: "Then why are you making such a fuss?"
Ji Yunshu hugged the Queen Mother's arm and acted coquettishly: "I'm married now, I can't just eat, drink and have fun all day long. The Marquis's Mansion has the Marquis's wife, so I don't need to be the housekeeper. I just want to make some money myself. Who would complain about having too much money?"
The Queen Mother heard her say this and smiled, "Okay, you little money-grubber, you want a royal chef, right? Go pick two for yourself later."
Ji Yunshu originally planned to just pick two, but she didn't expect to be able to choose by herself. She hugged the Queen Mother and said happily, "Aunt, you are so kind."
When the Queen Mother saw that she was so happy just asking for two cooks, her doubts disappeared.
There are many people who run restaurants in the capital, and she knows roughly how much money they can make in a year.
That little bit of money is nothing to Ji Yunshu.
This girl might just be bored and want to find something to do.
Ji Yunshu chatted with the Queen Mother for the entire afternoon. He left the palace only when it was getting late. Before leaving, he went to the imperial kitchen to ask for two cooks.
She didn't pick the one with the best cooking skills, and even asked the royal chef about his own wishes. In the end, the person she took away was a young apprentice who was old and wanted to find a place to retire.
Zhao Shen was waiting for her at the palace gate. After she got on the carriage, he handed her a cup of hot tea.
The weather today is fine, but the sun is about to set and it's getting chilly when the wind blows.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, I felt warm all over.
She glanced out along the curtain and found that it was not the way home. She couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?"
However, after not seeing each other for a while, Zhao Shen felt like a long time had passed and he missed her very much.
He held her hand in his palm, looked at the people coming and going outside, and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Yu sent me a message earlier, saying that things in the capital are a bit tricky. I want to take a few days off before taking up the post of Jingzhao Yin. I'll go and hear what's going on first."
Ji Yunshu understood that no matter whether he took office or not, the problems that Xiao Yu could not solve would sooner or later fall on him.
What puzzled her was, "Hasn't your injury healed yet? Why do you need to rest for a few days?"
Zhao Shen rubbed her head: "Don't you want me to stay with you for a few more days?"
Ji Yunshu pushed his hand away and glared at him: "I have to meet someone soon, don't mess up my hair."
The light in the carriage was dim, and her glare had no killing power at all. As her eyes moved, her whole body became lively and cute.
Zhao Shen pulled her into his arms, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, then whispered, "Let's not go see him. Let's go back home first."
He was too close, and his slightly hot breath sprayed on Ji Yunshu's cheek and ear, making her fair skin turn a rouge color.
Magnificent and beautiful, a feast for the eyes.
The calmness and self-composure that Zhao Shen had always been proud of lost control at this moment. He grabbed her neck with one hand and kissed her passionately again.
Ji Yunshu's arms subconsciously climbed up his neck. Listening to the bustling voices outside, the nervous and exciting feeling made her body tense.
Zhao Shen sensed something was wrong with her, and slid his hand down her waist. He gently bit her earlobe and whispered, "Do you miss me?"
His voice was low and hoarse, and Ji Yunshu felt numb all over.
She looked at Zhao Shen's deity-like cold eyes and eyebrows, which were stained with lust, and wanted to sink into it with him.
But when she thought about the fact that this was still on the street and there were people outside the carriage, she felt it was ridiculous.
Using all the self-control she had ever possessed, she held Zhao Shen's hand and panted, "Don't do this."
Zhao Shen took a deep breath, held her in his arms, buried his head in her neck, and his breathing calmed down after a while.
He curled his lips and smiled: "Really don't miss me?"
He already had beautiful features, and now with his cheeks flushed, his smile had a kind of enchanting beauty.
Ji Yunshu was almost dazzled by him. She pinched the soft flesh on his waist and said viciously, "Don't seduce me again."
Zhao Shen laughed softly.
His laughter was so tempting that Ji Yunshu covered his mouth and said, "Stop laughing."
Zhao Shen estimated that they were almost at the place he and Xiao Yu had agreed to meet, so he stopped teasing her and reached out to help her tidy up her messy hair. "Just eat something later, don't worry about us."
Ji Yunshu then realized that the two were discussing official business, and it would be inappropriate for her to go alone: "Why don't you go by yourself? I'll go back home first."
Zhao Shen tightened his grip around her waist and said, "Let's go together."
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes: "You men are talking about things, why should I go and do it?"
Zhao Shen said: "You will inevitably have to deal with A Yu in the future. You should have met him earlier."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but complain in her heart, it was not like she had never seen Xiao Yu before.
But thinking back to when he was not there before and someone caused trouble in the clinic, it was Xiao Yu who helped deal with it.
She then asked, "You have a good relationship with the Prince of Lin'an?"
She didn't know this, and it wasn't mentioned in the book.
However, after Prince Yong ascended the throne, he sent Xiao Yu's sister Xiao Yue to marry. It was obvious that the relationship between Prince Lin'an's Mansion and Prince Yong's Mansion was not good.
Zhao Shen said: "Yes, we played together when we were young."
Ji Yunshu felt a headache coming on: "Should I tell him about Lan Ting and Xiao Yue?"
Before, she didn't take this matter to heart, and even thought that if Xiao Yue could avoid the tragic death of the marriage, it would be nice to be with Lan Ting.
But now, Lan Ting's affairs are complicated and confusing. Although there is no evidence, she has a vague feeling that Lan Ting's affairs are not that simple.
But she had promised Xiao Yue to keep it a secret, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to tell her brother about it now.
Zhao Shen didn't know Ji Yunshu's concerns and said directly, "Of course I have to tell you. You said that Lan Ting is not a simple person. If Xiao Yue gets involved with him, it will ruin her reputation in the future, or even get involved in something she shouldn't be involved in, and drag the Lin'an County Prince's Mansion into trouble."
Ji Yunshu sighed, "But I promised her I would keep it a secret. If I tell her that, wouldn't that be breaking my promise?"
She remembered that there was another person named Lu Ningshuang who knew about this, which made her even more worried.
Zhao Shen thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Find some time to talk to Xiao Yue and explain it clearly. Keeping this a secret will not benefit the Prince's Mansion. I'll have someone investigate Lan Ting later."
Ji Yunshu felt that this was the most appropriate approach, and it would also give Xiao Yue time to think on her own.
As they were talking, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant. Zhao Shen got off the carriage first. Ji Yunshu came out of the carriage and was about to get off by herself when Zhao Shen hugged her and carried her down.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she blushed and said, "I can do it myself."
Zhao Shen helped her put her cloak in place, touched her slightly hot cheek, and chuckled in her ear, "Why are you so shy?"
Ji Yunshu: Someone is being a hooligan.
She was about to say something when she suddenly felt a gaze falling on her.
