When Mo Jiecheng heard this, he froze first, and then his face immediately sank.
Without any hesitation, he retorted loudly: "How is it possible! How could I like her!"
"She has a despicable character. Even I dare to scold her. At most, she has better medical skills and her face is barely lookable. How could I fall in love with such a woman!"
Chongzhou looked at him suspiciously and said nothing, with disbelief clearly written on his face.
Mo Jiecheng snorted coldly: "If she behaves badly one day, I will divorce her immediately!"
Ji Wanrong, who was bathing in Chuyun Garden far away, didn't know what Mo Jiecheng said and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
After that day, she traveled back and forth between Nanyang Hou Mansion and Prince Han Mansion for two or three days.
Seeing that the health of Ji Lingxiao and Mrs. Ji had improved, Lin Wenrui and Ji Yunyao also rarely went out to act like monsters in their own rooms.
Seeing that she was a little tired, she stayed in the palace to recuperate for a few days.
Ten days later, it was finally the Queen Mother's birthday as Mrs. Ji said.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held tomorrow, but if they are relatives of the concubine in the palace, at the concubine's invitation, they can stay in the palace for a night in advance, so that the concubine can ease her thoughts and connect with her.
As Princess Han, Ji Wanrong and Mo Jiecheng entered the palace one day early.
With the Queen's invitation, the palace's female official Gu Mingyue also entered the palace with the two of them.
Even if they entered the palace one day early, carriages from various prefectures lined up at the entrance of the palace.
It was the Queen Mother's birthday and she was still ill. People and carriages entering the palace needed to be carefully inspected. Even the carriage in Prince Han's palace did not need to be inspected so carefully, but it was blocked at the entrance of the palace.
After what happened last time on the carriage, Gu Mingyue's carriage was behind Prince Han's Mansion again.
Sitting next to Mo Jiecheng, Ji Wanrong felt uncomfortable all over.
It wasn't until she opened the curtain and saw the carriage of Duke Zhou's mansion at the back of the team, and Mei Niang standing in the carriage, that she suddenly felt more relaxed.
"I want to get out of the car and talk to the lady at Duke Zhou's mansion. It's more convenient for you to talk to others since I'm not here."
Ji Wanrong had something to say.
She glanced at Mo Jiecheng and saw that Mo Jiecheng had a cold face and said nothing. Ji Wanrong took it as his acquiescence and ran off holding up his skirt.
After trotting all the way to the carriage of Duke Zhou's mansion, he saw Zhou Zhiruo's personal maid Mei Niang.
We haven't seen each other for a few days, but Mei Niang is still so charming. Ji Wanrong feels that his eyes are glued to her body and cannot be moved away.
Ji Wanrong smiled at her: "Is your lady inside? I want to enter the palace with her. I wonder if she will agree?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened.
Zhou Zhiruo's bright red phoenix eyes were revealed at once, followed by her aggressive voice: "Is there anything else you can't agree to? You can lie in my arms and sleep if you want!"
Ji Wanrong was amused by her words and smiled again, holding up her skirt and getting on the carriage.
"I didn't expect you to enter the palace today. If I had known this, I would have set off with you."
Zhou Zhiruo paused when he heard this, and then smiled again: "I didn't expect it, but it was just a temporary invitation from the Queen."
When she said this, her tone also lowered: "Apart from me, there are several other ladies. Even Ji Yunyao was invited by the Queen."
After Zhou Zhiruo finished speaking, Ji Wanrong understood what he meant. It turned out that the queen wanted to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday to choose a concubine for King Mo Junfeng of Chu.
Entering the palace one day in advance is probably to test their character.
However, if Zhou Zhiruo is here, because she is capable and smart, she has been raised as a princess since she was a child, and the Duke of Zhou's palace is in full swing, with all the outstanding men, the queen will most likely fall in love with her.
After the two said this, they talked about Ji Chengde's recent situation.
"My uncle has been punished by the family law. He has been taken care of by Lin Wenrui these days. She is very careful and Mei Niang has no chance. But I heard that he likes your fragrance so much that he even lights it in the bedroom."
Now that Ji Chengde is injured, he has no choice but to ask Lin Wenrui to take personal care of her, so that Lin Wenrui can keep a close eye on her. But if Ji Chengde gets better in the future, how can he be watched over by Lin Wenrui all the time?
Ji Wanrong was thinking about it, and just as she was about to speak, a female voice came from outside the carriage, interrupting her words.
"Blessings to Miss Zhou. When Miss Zhou enters the palace, please show her palace card."
There are special female officials in the palace who are responsible for entering the palace for inspections.
It turned out that it was their turn. Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo opened the curtain and handed over his palace card.
Seeing that there was another person in the carriage, the female official hesitated for a moment. When Ji Wanrong saw this, she also handed over her palace card.
What Zhou Zhiruo handed over was the palace card given by the Queen, while what Ji Wanrong handed over was the palace card from Prince Han's Mansion.
The female officer looked at the palace card specially made by Prince Han's Palace in her hand, and was a little surprised for a moment: "This is the palace card of Prince Han's Palace... Are you Princess Han?"
Ji Wanrong nodded.
"Please greet Princess Han. You and Miss Zhou can transfer to the sedan chair and enter the palace."
Just as the female officer was about to return the palace card to Ji Wanrong, a figure suddenly appeared and took the palace card away from the female officer's hand.
Ji Wanrong reached out and took the empty one, and she frowned slightly.
That person was wearing the uniform of the palace, with exquisite makeup on her face, and she looked like a palace maid next to a noble person.
Ji Wanrong didn't recognize her, but Zhou Zhiruo leaned into her ear and said softly: "This is the eldest maid next to the Queen Mother, Xing Su. Probably because of the Queen Mother's birthday, she is in charge of matters here."
As soon as Zhou Zhiruo finished speaking, he saw Xing Su holding up the palace card, checking it slowly, and then looked at Ji Wanrong in the carriage.
When she saw Ji Wanrong's face, there was a flash of surprise on her face, but she quickly covered it up.
She pinched the palace card from Prince Han's Palace and said something unkind.
"It's the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. It's such an auspicious day. But a disaster is coming. She even stole the palace cards of Prince Han without telling His Highness. Do you want to harm the Queen Mother?"
Her voice was sharp and loud. As soon as she said these words, everyone around them opened the curtains and looked towards Ji Wanrong.
What does it mean when a disaster star comes and steals the palace card?
Ji Wanrong's face gradually turned cold after listening to her words.
Feeling everyone's gaze, she lifted up her skirt, bent down and got out of the carriage, and stood still in front of Xing Su.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the sunlight was still a bit dazzling. Ji Wanrong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Her voice was also light, as if she was born with an aura that made people look up to her.
"Disaster star? Who is the disaster star? Is it up to you to decide the name of the disaster star in the world? Is it also up to you to decide whether the Queen Mother's body is safe or not?"
