Chapter 76: Someone Eavesdropping Outside the Window
As a princess, Wu can't be said to be wrong to take the overall situation into account in this way, after all, her starting point is to protect the entire palace, and she did it.
But for Ji Yongjing at that time, her mother's behavior made her full of grievances.
She didn't understand why her father worked so hard to guard the frontier, and she obviously didn't do anything wrong, but she still had to be bullied by the children from those families in Beijing who were not as good as them.
The most important thing is that her mother didn't even help her.
Ji Yongjing didn't know what it meant to be "good at the top, but very good at the bottom", and she didn't know that her father, who was a big hero in her eyes, was actually being feared by the Zhang family led by the Empress Dowager Zhang.
They couldn't get rid of Ji Heng's hatred at that time, and they would always embarrass the Wu family in public, and those flattering villains who welcomed them as a shortcut to promotion and fortune would naturally take the initiative to help them "solve problems".
So at the behest of the adults in the family, their children also began to bully Ji Yongan and Ji Yongjing.
Ji Yongan was already a half-grown boy at the time, and he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so it was not easy for others to bully him.
But at that time, Ji Yongjing was still just a cute and cute little bun with a milky flavor, and it was not too easy for those people to bully her.
If it weren't for those who had bullied her, without exception, all of them would have been cleaned up by Ji Yongan openly and secretly for a meal or even several meals, and Ji Yongjing's life after that would definitely be even worse.
Thinking of her brother's care and love for herself, Ji Yongjing's expression became softer and softer, she sat under the Wu family, and listened to the conversation between the Wu family and Ji Yongan's senior sister and brother.
When the maids served tea and snacks, Ji Yongjing arranged for people to prepare hot water and meals for Ji Yongan and them.
Ji Yongan's courtyard is in the front yard of the palace, and it is the largest and best courtyard in the entire front yard except for the courtyard of Ji Heng, the king of Chu.
In order to let Ji Yongping live in this courtyard, Concubine Liu made a lot of trouble when she was alive.
Fortunately, although Ji Heng was tolerant of Concubine Liu because of the old prince's last words, he would never indulge Concubine Liu to do whatever he wanted in this kind of matter that involved principles and old precedents to follow.
Concubine Liu made a fuss a few times, and tried to make excuses but couldn't make Ji Heng change her mind, and finally had to give up this courtyard that belonged to the successive generations of the Pingxi Mansion and made her dream.
The Wu family had long known that Ji Heng would never break the ancestral etiquette, so he watched Concubine Liu make a fuss from beginning to end, until she returned from the feathers, and the Wu family arranged for people to decorate the yard.
Over the years, Wu has been looking forward to his son returning to the palace and living in the courtyard that represents his eldest son.
As for his senior sisters and junior disciples who came to the palace with him, the Wu family arranged for Mu Qingyun and He Shuning to have the best environment and the closest guest house to her main courtyard, and Yan Nanxiao offered to live with Ji Yong'an.
It's not that Yan Nanxiao has a fancy for Ji Yongan's best courtyard, but he is worried that someone will poison Ji Yongan in the palace.
Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is extremely small, Yan Nanxiao will not take it lightly.
Before Ji Yongan entered the barracks, Yan Nanxiao would go in and out with him.
As soon as he said his intentions, the Wu family immediately made a decision to let him live in Ji Yongan's courtyard.
Although she also felt that it was unlikely that Ji Yongan would be poisoned in the palace, she was afraid that someone would take advantage of their mentality.
She only has Ji Yongan, a son, and she doesn't want to put her son in danger because of her negligence.
Speaking of which, Mu Qingyun took the opportunity to offer to help the Wu family and Ji Yongjing take the pulse.
When Ji Yongan heard this, he hurriedly pulled Wu's wrist over and put it on the low table in front of Mu Qingyun, "The opportunity is rare, my mother must ask my senior sister to help you take a look." ”
Wu glanced at his son, "Your senior sister came all the way to our house, and you didn't have to rest to ask others to diagnose your mother's pulse..."
Hearing Wu's "duplicity", the corners of Mu Qingyun's lips hooked slightly, "Aunt is serious, it was Qingyun who offered to diagnose your and Sister Jing'er's pulse, Yong'an He is also a filial piety, he has not seen him for many years, he will inevitably worry about whether your body is healthy." ”
Wu smiled from ear to ear, of course she didn't really blame her son, Mu Qingyun was so transparent and willing to cooperate vigorously, Wu's liking for her suddenly increased.
Everyone happily exchanged a few polite words to each other, and then Mu Qingyun began to carefully diagnose the pulse of Wu and Ji Yongjing.
Ji Yongan and the others stopped talking very consciously, and for a while, only the small sound He Shuning made when he was eating was left in the room.
The grandmother beside Wu was attracted by this voice, and her eyes unconsciously looked at He Shuning, but He Shuning seemed to be waiting for someone to notice her.
Seeing Mama Wu turn her head, He Shuning's empty right hand pointed straight out of the back window, "Mama, there's a child sneaking in there." ”
The room was eerily quiet for a while, and then Mama Wu quickly rushed to the half-open back window with agility that made people couldn't believe that she was in her fifties.
"Who is it?" After Mu Qingyun finished diagnosing the pulse and withdrew her hand, Wu first thanked her unhurriedly, and then turned his gaze to Mama Wu, who had an ugly face but did not say a word.
Mama Wu is the grandmother of the Wu family, and their family has been given the surname Wu by the head of the family three generations ago, and she is a loyal servant of the Wu family.
If you want to talk about understanding the Wu family, she has more than Ji Heng, the pillow person of the Wu family.
"It's Miss Five." Mama Wu, who had not spoken, did not take a deep breath and spit out four words until her master asked.
Wu sneered, "How many years have this been in the palace, and the Ma family is still so sneaky and despicable." ”
Mama Wu's face was still ugly, "It's just her own work, but she shouldn't bring the young lady in the house like this." ”
Let your own daughter listen to her mother's corner, this kind of thing can't be done by a normal person, okay?
Mama Wu simply obeyed the strange taste of her own prince, and the several concubines he has entered the door one after another over the years are really more eye-catching than the other.
Ji Yongan's brows furrowed when he heard this, "What Mama just said is the concubine and concubine of the King of Chu?" ”
The corners of Mama Wu's mouth twitched slightly.
Well, the son of her family is not an ordinary person, and his own father doesn't call him "Father", but he still calls the other party "King Chu Chitose" in this mocking tone, which is mocking his father for getting carried away?
Wu also didn't approve of her son being so unruly, she glanced at Ji Yongan with disgust, "Speak well!" ”
