Chapter 392: Losing Temper
"You'd better be careful. If it was just my Third Prince's idea, this method wouldn't be very powerful. But if Fifth Prince takes action, it won't be as simple as it seems."
Ji Yunshu also felt that this method was a bit crude.
But it does look like the work of the Third Prince.
She felt a bit of a headache: "They sent him here with such fanfare, I can't just send him back, right?"
After all, he is the prince of Mobei, although the other party's behavior is a bit disgusting.
But who can blame this world for being so harsh on women?
If she sent him back directly, her reputation as a jealous woman would spread within an hour.
Wujina spread her hands and said, "It's a waste not to accept a beauty who comes to my door. She is a delight to look at. The concubines in my father's palace are not as pretty as her."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
The King of Mobei is not a womanizer, and most of the women around him are there to balance power.
Those with too low status cannot even come before him.
As a result, the concubines of King Mobei were not considered great beauties.
"You, the Fifth Prince, are annoying."
After a long while, Ji Yunshu had to admit it.
Wujina didn't care much about this. She was curious: "You are the daughter of a great general, and the emperor is your cousin. With such status, you can have any man you want. Why are you so nervous about Prince Zhao?"
Ji Yunshu held his chin and said, "Maybe it's because he's good-looking."
Wu Jina understood: "His face is indeed rare. If you meet someone more handsome than him in the future, will you be tempted?"
Ji Yunshu had never considered this issue before. Zhao Shen's facial features and temperament perfectly met her aesthetic standards.
She never thought that there was anyone in the world who was more handsome than him.
But there is no need to tell this to Wujina.
Wujina didn't ask any more questions. She glanced behind her with interest and left with a little regret.
She wanted to stay and watch the show, but she didn't dare to offend Zhao Shen.
Seeing that she had no intention of staying for a free meal and left quickly, Ji Yunshu realized something was wrong and turned around to see Zhao Shen.
"Why are you back so early today?"
Zhao Shen looked at her gravely, and after a while he said, "I heard that the Third Prince of Mobei sent me a beauty, so I came back to see her."
He didn't care about beauties at all. He came back just to see Ji Yunshu's reaction.
She really lived up to his expectations and was talking to a Mobei princess about how she liked his face.
For a moment he couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false.
Ji Yunshu said, "Oh," and pointed out the window, "You're back just in time. They're still there. I was still trying to figure out how to accommodate them."
"Place him?" Zhao Shen looked at her and asked, "Are you planning to take him in?"
Ji Yunshu said, "After all, it was given by the Third Prince. I can't just give it back. There's no such rule."
Zhao Shen looked at her with cold eyes: "I didn't know you were a person who followed the rules."
Ji Yunshu could hear his sarcastic tone and said angrily, "After all, the person is given to you. You can do whatever you want with him."
How could she be happy if someone gave a woman to her husband?
Isn't this about not wanting to give others a handle?
Maybe it was because of the hot weather, but Ji Yunshu felt very upset.
After saying that, she stood up and walked into the house.
Zhao Shen watched her back until she was out of sight, then he ordered Jingzhe to send her back to the Third Prince of Mobei: "Just say I have no interest in these things."
Jingzhe realized that his master was in a bad mood, so he turned around and went to do his work.
It would be bad for the Crown Prince's wife's reputation if she sent the person back, but the Crown Prince would have no worries if he did it himself.
If the cow doesn't want to drink water, who can force it to drink?
Even in Mobei there is no such rule.
The women stood nervously in the yard for a long time. When they heard what Zhao Shen said, they subconsciously wanted to beg for mercy and stay.
If these women who were given away could not stay, their fate would be miserable when they returned.
One of the women immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhao Shen, begging him to keep her.
She thought she had the best looks among the few of them and no man could ever refuse her. However, she didn't expect that before she could make a move, her bright eyes would fall into a bottomless cold pool as soon as she looked over.
As if he could see what she wanted to do, Zhao Shen looked at her with cold eyes without any emotion, but it made her feel fear in her bones.
She immediately realized that if she made any move, she might not be able to leave here alive.
Under the scorching sun, she shivered violently and stood stiffly, not daring to move.
Zhao Shen returned to the room and saw Ji Yunshu leaning on the couch by the window, reading a book with a listless look.
When I looked closer, I found that it was a travelogue about Mobei.
Ever since he knew he would go to Mobei, Ji Yunshu began to make preparations.
She has always been pragmatic when reading, and would never read the Four Books and Five Classics or poetry.
Zhao Shen looked at the book in her hand, not knowing what he was thinking about, and did not speak for a long time.
Ji Yunshu also felt a surge of anger in his heart. At times like this, most of the words he said were not good, so he didn't say anything.
The room was completely silent. It was only when Lu Ru saw Ji Yunshu coming back and brought a plate of chilled fruit that the silence was broken.
She also noticed something was wrong with her two masters and explained, "These fresh grapes and lychees were specially sent by the Queen Mother."
After saying that, he left the room.
Ji Yunshu was still looking at the book without moving. Zhao Shen sighed, reached out to peel a lychee, and fed the sweet flesh to Ji Yunshu's mouth.
"Why don't you tell me how I offended you? You're just giving me that look."
Ji Yunshu swallowed the lychee in his mouth without hesitation and snorted, "Someone sends you a woman, so do I have to be nice to you?"
Zhao Shen didn't expect this to be the reason. He raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy in his eyes: "It's because of this, are you jealous?"
Ji Yunshu raised her chin, motioning him to continue peeling lychees for her. "You probably don't know how many women are thinking about you. If I get jealous of them all, won't I be drowned in a jar of vinegar?"
Zhao Shen heard her say this, but it was obvious that she was angry just now because of those women, so he felt much better.
"If you encounter something like this in the future, just let me handle it. I've already asked Jingzhe to send those people back."
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu was not happy about his words. This world is so unfair.
For the same thing, women are always blamed, but men can do whatever they want.
However, she did not continue to dwell on these things because it was not Zhao Shen's fault.
He is already much stronger than most men in this world.
Perfection doesn't exist even in modern times.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. The Third Prince might just be a cover. The Fifth Prince must be taking action to achieve his goal."
Zhao Shen's well-proportioned hands, like works of art, delicately peeled a few lychees. He paused, wiped the juice from his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "Eat less. It's easy to get angry. It's rare to see the Fifth Prince take action, so we really shouldn't be careless."
