In Yihongyuan, Ning Huayue looked at Fang Jinbao, who had rarely appeared in her yard, with an expectant tone.
"Eunuch Fang is here, but what are your orders?"
Fang Jinbao smiled politely: "Yes, the prince asked his servant to come and tell you to take care of Concubine Ji."
Ning Huayue's expression quickly fell. She arranged errands for her inexplicably but didn't tell her herself, and sent a servant to pass the message. How much did she not want to see her?
But she was dissatisfied, and it was impossible for her to refuse, "I know, I will do a good job, Prince, don't worry."
When Fang Jinbao was about to leave, Ning Huayue suddenly stopped him and asked, "Eunuch, do you know why the prince asked me to take care of Concubine Ji?" Why did Yan Fuguang ask her to take care of Ji Mingzhu for no reason?
Fang Jinbao pretended to think hard for a moment, and then revealed a little: "I don't know about the other servants, but today the prince went to the Ministry of War." That's it, Fang Jinbao left Yihongyuan without stopping. .
Ministry of War? Ning Huayue didn't figure out the connection between the two for a while, and thought Fang Jinbao was being vague on purpose.
When Grandma Wang heard her mumble, she remembered Ji Mingzhu's identity.
"Miss, have you forgotten? Concubine Ji's father works in the Ministry of War, and his official position is not low."
Ji Xun is more capable than Ning Jianshan, and his official position is higher than Ning Jianshan. If it weren't for Mr. Ning Ge, Ning Huayue might not be as confident as Ji Mingzhu.
She remembered: "No wonder..."
No wonder Yan Fuguang suddenly thought of sending Fang Jinbao to give her a warning.
Grandma Wang looked at Ning Huayue's unhappy face and tested her attitude towards this matter: "What are you thinking about?"
Ning Huayue said angrily: "I'm thinking about Ji Mingzhu, I wonder if she will stand up again."
Aunt Wang could only comfort her: "The concubine and the concubine have no place. The prince just asked you to take care of Concubine Ji, and didn't say what to do."
Ning Huayue reluctantly listened a little, and she asked again: "Where is the prince? Fang Jinbao is back, but the prince is not back?"
"...The prince is in Jinxiyuan."
Ning Huayue: "..."
There was no need for her to ask this question, but instead she was embarrassing herself!
"Withdraw dinner, I have no appetite."
Ning Huayue has no appetite, but Yan Fuguang in Jinxiyuan has a good appetite.
The small kitchen cooked all mutton today. Eating it can warm up the body in the cold weather. Yan Fuguang likes to eat roast mutton, and almost all of the large plate went into his stomach.
Lan Ge'er held a small bowl and drank mutton soup, staring at Yan Fuguang eating in dumbfounded eyes. After gaining experience, his eyebrows were filled with worry.
"Father, when you go to work, won't Grandpa Huang give you food? My mother has people bring me food at noon every day, otherwise, starting from tomorrow, people will also have food delivered to you, right?"
He was afraid that his old father would starve to death outside and die of exhaustion. He was really worried.
Yan Fuguang drank the last mouthful of mutton soup, wiped his mouth and then started talking nonsense to Brother Lan: "Yes, your grandpa doesn't give me food, he only orders his father to do work, you can reprimand him some other time and help me vent my anger. "
Lange'er had a great sense of justice, and newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. He clenched his fists and said, "Okay, father, I will help you."
Lu Qing saw that they were having fun and did not interrupt. The two little guys who were watching them eating were drooling. She took a handkerchief to wipe their mouths.
"It's not time for you to eat meat yet, so don't be greedy."
Brother Yu pointed at the dining table smartly: "Ah!" Give me some to try!
Brother Jiu imitated: "Ah!" I want to try it too!
Lu Qing tapped Brother Yu's eyebrows: "Don't think about it, we'll talk about it when you grow up."
Brother Yu flattened his mouth pitifully. Lu Qing pinched his small mouth and said with a smile, "Mom, I won't accept your trick."
Okay, the begging plan failed, Brother Yu patted Brother Jiu on the butt, let’s go, brother, if you can’t eat, let’s go play!
The two little guys had almost the same frequency, humming and crawling to the other side of the soft couch.
Lu Qing followed him with a smile, not disturbing the two brothers' play and enjoying tea quietly.
**
Not surprisingly, Ning Huayue took the lead in taking care of Ji Mingzhu and handed it over to Lu Qing.
"Concubine Wei is responsible for distributing winter supplies, but I think Concubine Ji's side is too simple. You can send more things to Concubine Ji."
When the enemy met and became extremely jealous, she did not believe that Ji Mingzhu would not bear her grudge against Lu Qing.
Lu Qing had no choice but to follow Ning Huayue's instructions.
Ji Mingzhu's condition is indeed not good. She was used to being lavish and extravagant, and she still hasn't gotten used to it after being demoted from side concubine to concubine for so long. Most of the charcoal she just received was burnt away now.
When she saw people from Jinshiyuan approaching, she didn't even look at them.
Ji Qin kept silent and asked someone to bring the things over, and explained: "These are the things Wei Concubine added to Concubine Ji."
Yizhen glanced at her in surprise, her eyes soon filled with joy, and she shouted happily: "Master, Concubine Wei——"
Ji Mingzhu didn't even look at it and said coldly: "Throw it out!"
Ji Qin's expression didn't change: "It was the princess who asked Concubine Wei to do this."
Yizhen was unwilling to give the things back, so she tried to persuade Ji Mingzhu: "Master, our..."
She wanted to say that there was not enough charcoal, but Ji Mingzhu didn't care. She couldn't hear the names of Lu Qing and Ning Huayue. Neither of them was a good person to her!
"Throw it out, can't you hear what I say?!" She became even more angry.
Yizhen shook her body, looked at the things that could keep them warm in the winter, and said to Ji Qin with a pale face: "Sister Ji Qin, the master said no..."
Of course Ji Qin also heard what Ji Mingzhu said. She saw that Yizhen was wearing thin clothes. She was so cold that she was so cold just after she came out. She couldn't bear to say, "There are a few cotton-padded jackets in there."
Yizhen rubbed her hands back and forth and said softly: "I still don't want it anymore."
If she dared to take it back, she would never have a good life in the future. Ji Mingzhu's temper became more and more irritable, and she did not dare to disobey her.
Helpless, Ji Qin returned the same way.
"Master, Concubine Ji doesn't want those things."
Lu Qing paused after hearing this: "Go and tell the princess."
The next day she went to Ji Mingzhu's residence.
"The princess asked me to give you the thing. I'm not that kind. And you know the relationship between the princess and you. Do you think she would do that for no reason? I guess it was the prince's order, so she didn't dare to obey the rules. I I don't dare." Lu Qing looked at the erect Ji Mingzhu indifferently, "Do you still want those things? If not, I won't bother you again."
Ji Mingzhu's sinister eyes gradually turned doubtful. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Leave the things behind."
After Lu Qing left, Yi Zhen happily packed her things. Ji Mingzhu's side face was hidden under the flickering candlelight, looking particularly lonely.
"It's father..."
Only then did she realize that the only man in the world who could treat her well unconditionally was her father.
