Chapter 242: Concentration
The two ministers nodded in agreement and then went their separate ways.
Ji Changqing walked down the stairs.
Seeing that he was about to leave without even looking at her, He Qianqian hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed him.
She pretended to run hurriedly on the jade steps, walked straight in front of Ji Changqing, and then pretended to step on empty air, and fell backwards with a "ah".
She was sure that Ji Changfeng would catch her.
Unexpectedly, Ji Changfeng seemed to be blind and walked past her without even looking back.
He Qianqian: “?!”
She was caught off guard and fell onto the jade steps, feeling a sharp pain in her tailbone.
"ah!"
This time he really cried out in pain.
The wife of the Earl of Changning hurried down and asked with concern, "Qianqian, how are you?"
He Qianqian's eyes were filled with tears: "Mom, I might have broken a bone. It hurts so much."
Lady Changning: "..."
She sighed deeply and said to the maid behind her, "Go find the imperial physician."
In order to prevent anyone from fainting from excessive grief, Ku Linshang arranged for a medical officer.
After examining He Qianqian, an imperial physician said, "Your coccyx is fractured. You need to take good care of yourself."
After that, he wrote a prescription for Lady Changning.
The wife of the Marquis of Changning went to the empress dowager and asked for a sedan chair, then she carried He Qianqian out of the palace and took a carriage back home.
After returning to his own courtyard, He Qianqian scolded Ji Changfeng harshly.
"Both brothers are blind! They were born as stone for ten lifetimes before finally being reborn as humans! %$#@~!"
In the middle of scolding, the maid came to announce: "Miss, your great-aunt is here."
He Qianqian frowned: "What is she doing here?"
How would the maid know?
"Please ask her to come over."
He Shi is not even qualified to enter the palace to cry now. He Qianqian guessed that she wanted to inquire about the situation of crying in the palace.
Unexpectedly, when He saw her, her eyes were filled with heartache: "Your eyes are swollen from crying. I knew that you would be heartbroken after the Third Prince passed away."
He Qianqian: “?!”
He hurriedly asked the maid to bring him a mirror.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that his eyes were indeed swollen like goldfish eyes.
He cursed Ji Changfeng again in his heart.
But she still pretended to be sad: "The Third Prince has deep feelings for me. Even if I cry my eyes out for him, it is only natural."
He said sympathetically, "People live for the future, not the past. You have to look forward."
As soon as she said this, He Qianqian knew what she was going to say and said calmly, "Instead of worrying about my future, you should care more about the future of the Ji family."
Ji Changfeng had caused her to break a bone, so she would never go near him again.
He was offended by her words and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Forget it, since you are in a bad mood, I won't bother you anymore. Come to the Ji Mansion and have a chat when you have time."
After saying that, he said goodbye to He Qianqian and returned home.
Ji Hongde, who was waiting for her in the mansion, asked, "What did the girl say?"
He said unhappily, "People told me to care more about the future of the Ji family and less about her future."
Ji Hongde frowned, "She wasn't this arrogant when the Third Prince was alive. Why is it that after the Third Prince passed away, her temper has escalated?"
He took the tea handed to her by the maid, took a sip, and said nonchalantly: "I guess he just ran into a wall with Changfeng."
Her niece-in-law has always been smart, and she must have asked her daughter to try it with Changfeng early in the morning.
Ji Hongde sighed: "It seems that the He family can no longer be relied upon."
He's face tightened.
Even if she could count on her, she didn't want to be so humble and try to please that damn girl Qianqian.
After a moment of silence, she said to Ji Hongde, "How about we teach Lang'er a lesson? This child is so well-behaved and good-looking. He might have a great future."
Lang'er is her great-granddaughter, who is just one month old.
Ji Hongde rolled his eyes at her. "What great things can she achieve? Do you think Luo Zhaoyi will live to adulthood?"
He: “…”
"Changfeng has taken the position of regent," Ji Hongde continued, "If he is not mentally ill, he will not hand over the imperial power to others."
He frowned.
The whole world will soon be surnamed Ji, and as Ji Changfeng's grandparents, they should be ecstatic.
However, given their current relationship with Ji Changfeng, it would be extremely difficult for them to become members of the royal family, let alone avoid being suppressed.
"How about you humble yourself and make peace with Qi?"
Ji Hongde suggested.
He's eyes widened. "It's not like I haven't tried before, but she doesn't like me at all."
As a mother-in-law, it was good enough for her to speak to Qi in a nice tone. Did she also want her to kneel down and apologize?
If that were the case, she would rather never get any help from Ji Changfeng in her life.
Ji Hongde frowned deeply.
Does he have to bow to Ji Changfeng?
He had only met Ji Changfeng's eldest grandson once, and he didn't even get to say a word to him during that meeting - Ji Changfeng turned around and walked away when he saw him, ignoring him.
The old couple slumped back in their chairs at the same time.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly opened them: "I have an idea..."
"Don't have any bad thoughts."
As soon as Ji Changqing returned home from the palace, he was warned by his mother.
"Qing Sui got married with a wedding card, but they didn't even have a wedding banquet. You can't just marry her like that."
Ji Changqing looked helpless: "Mom, how could I possibly let her down? Haven't I been staying at Canghaixuan these past two days? Didn't I go to Polangxuan?"
Qi snorted coldly, "Who knows how long you can endure this? Of course I have to keep an eye on you."
When the emperor passes away, officials are not allowed to get married or hold banquets within a hundred days.
Ji Changqing: “…”
How much does my mother distrust him?
If you don’t know, you might think she is my mother-in-law.
Be wary of him like a thief.
"Don't worry, mother. I still have this level of determination."
Qi said calmly, "You'd better keep your word, otherwise..."
Ji Changqing: “…”
Broom service, right?
He tried not to have too much contact with Feng Qingsui, but he didn't expect...
"Madam hasn't come back yet?"
That day he was busy in the palace until midnight before returning home, but he heard from Shi An who stayed in the mansion that Feng Qingsui was taken away by Zong Hebai's men in the evening and did not return home until midnight.
Shi An nodded yes.
Ji Changqing hurriedly summoned Zhuying and instructed, "Contact Yan Chi and see where the madam is."
Zhuying took the order and left. After a while, she replied, "Madam is still at the Zong family treating Zong Hebai's injuries. Don't worry, Yan Chi and Wuhua are guarding Madam."
Ji Changqing's face darkened slightly as he asked, "Has Madam eaten dinner yet?"
Candle Shadow: “???”
"I think I've eaten."
Even if she has nothing to eat in the mansion, can the Zong family still not give her food?
"I must not have eaten well."
Ji Changqing said this, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
Mixing dough, kneading dough, letting it rest, chopping stuffing, making dumplings, and cooking millet porridge...
It takes an hour to be busy.
Baifu looked at the buns, which were clearly more than enough for two people, and whispered to Shian, "We're in for another treat tonight."
Shi An rolled his eyes at him.
"Keep your voice down, if I hear you, you'll only have pork stewed with rattan sticks to eat."
Feng Qingsui returned home near dawn.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Baifu came running over: "Madam, the master has prepared breakfast for you."
Feng Qingsui, who was feeling very hungry, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't he supposed to be resting today? Why is he up so early?"
Baifu: “…”
