Chapter 256 Sketchbook
Ji Yuntang: "!!!"
Blast!
How could she not know that such a respectable maid like Taozhi would secretly keep such a sketchbook?
Ji Yuntang narrowed his eyes, grabbed her ear and asked, "Where did you get the sketchbook?"
Taozhi lowered her brows, covered her mouth tightly, and kept silent.
"You won't tell me, right? If you don't, I'll read to him the love poem you secretly wrote to Wang Sheng, and let him know that our little Taozi wants to marry him, to have a little home with him, and to give birth to a litter of puppies for him!"
Taozhi: "..."
Taozhi: "!!!"
She raised her head and looked at Ji Yuntang with shock, who was smiling.
The love poems she wrote were all placed under the pillow in her room. How did the princess know about it?
The next second, Ji Yuntang told her the answer.
"Hongxiu found it under your pillow when she was cleaning the room."
"I, the princess, didn't know that our Taozhi fell in love with Wangsheng at first sight at the medical competition. She has been secretly in love with him for many days but dared not confess. Do you want me to help you two be a matchmaker?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Ji Yuntang's voice, and Taozhi's face instantly turned red all the way to her neck, like a cooked crab.
"Princess, please don't... I don't want Wang Sheng to know yet, please don't tell him."
"Not only does he have to go to Wanzhuanglou to check the accounts every day, but he also has to serve as the housekeeper of the palace. It's hard enough, and I don't want to make things difficult for Mr. Wang."
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xiao Taozhi, are you feeling distressed? Do you think that I have given Wang Sheng too many things to do?"
Taozhi said quickly: "No, no, Princess, please don't misunderstand my meaning. I know that you arranged these things for Wang Sheng because you trust him and want to train him. I think men should focus on their careers."
"Besides, I can see that Wang Sheng is very happy to help the princess every day, which shows that he likes these jobs very much."
"As for the love affairs between young men and women, it all depends on fate. If he doesn't like me, then breaking this window paper will only make both of us embarrassed."
Ji Yuntang raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect Taozhi to have such an opinion.
"Well, then I will not interfere in your affairs."
"If you ever want me to be your matchmaker, tell me and I'll help you test Wang Sheng's intentions."
Taozhi instantly smiled, "Thank you, Princess."
"Where did the sketchbook come from?"
The smile on Taozhi's face froze. She didn't expect that after going around in circles, Ji Yuntang would actually return to this topic.
Taozhi bit her lip, feeling very conflicted. This was too embarrassing. Should she tell him or not?
In the end, she still couldn't hold up her inner defenses and told Ji Yuntang everything.
"When I went to Cuifangju to buy peach blossom cakes for the princess yesterday, I heard a customer next to me say that a kind of picture book was very popular in the capital recently. I thought that the princess also likes to read books on weekdays, and she would definitely like this novel thing, so I went with her out of curiosity and bought two books."
"I opened it and found out...it was..."
She didn't say the rest, but Ji Yuntang could tell right away if it wasn't a pornographic picture, what else could it be?
Ji Yuntang looked up at the sky in silence.
She was wondering when the peach branches gradually turned crooked.
She even dared to buy things like pornographic pictures.
The point is, she actually felt that she liked it.
Just then, a shout was heard from the street outside.
"A sketchbook, a sketchbook, a unique sketchbook in the whole capital."
"Don't miss it if you pass by. Everything you want to read is in my book. Three taels of silver for one book, five taels of silver for two books. The fight between the two villains will keep you awake all night. You will want to read more after reading it~"
Ji Yuntang: "..."
She turned her head and looked at Taozhi, asking with her eyes if she was in this sketchbook.
Taozhi nodded obediently.
"Princess, I knew it was very popular. So many people bought it!"
Looking through the gap in the carriage window, there was indeed a sea of people, blocking the stall selling picture books.
Ji Yuntang's eyes were filled with shock. This was truly an amazing way to do business!
"Three taels of silver for one copy, why doesn't he just go and rob it?"
She thought that the price of her skin care products was already high enough, but she didn't expect that the price of this sketchbook was even more outrageous.
A normal book costs only thirty or forty cents, but his price is ten times higher.
Taozhi said silently: "Princess, when I bought it, it only cost one tael of silver."
"Then you have been deceived by him too. Don't buy anything from him in the future."
Ji Yuntang lowered the car curtain. For some reason, she felt that the shouting voice sounded familiar.
Neither male nor female, he looks very much like that crappy leader of the Blood Rain Sect.
Ji Yuntang shook his head and laughed.
She thought she must not have gotten enough rest and heard it wrong.
The leader of the Blood Rain Sect stays on the mountain and never goes out of the main gate or the second gate. How could he possibly come to the Dongchen Kingdom?
The carriage moved forward slowly until it stopped at the gate of Xu's mansion, and then the coachman's voice was heard.
"Princess, we have arrived at the Xu residence."
Ji Yuntang stood up and got off the carriage.
Xu Muyan was standing at the door, and when he saw Ji Yuntang, he greeted him with a smile.
"Your humble servant greets Princess Ye. Princess, please come in."
He was wearing a royal blue robe with cloud patterns today. He looked as gentle as jade, graceful, and a joyful smile on his handsome face.
Ji Yuntang rejected Xu Muyan's kindness and said slowly: "Xu Shaoqing is busy welcoming guests, this princess can go in by herself."
"Okay, there are a lot of distinguished guests in the mansion today, so please do as you please, Princess." Xu Muyan smiled and made way.
After Ji Yuntang entered, he realized that the Xu Mansion was really lively today.
She just took a quick glance and saw many familiar figures.
Among them was the large family of Yongning Marquis’ Mansion.
Old Madam Ji had her silver hair tied up behind her head with an exquisite jade hairpin inserted in her bun. She was wearing a gorgeous silk brocade robe today, and her whole body had a graceful and dignified temperament like an orchid.
Yongning Marquis Ji Nanchuan and his wife Meng sat next to Old Madam Ji, and next to them were Ji Qingqing and Ji Huaiche.
As for Ji Qingfeng and Ji Zihang, Ji Yuntang did not see them.
She wanted to ignore them and walk past them, but Ji Huaiche stopped her.
He said angrily: "Ji Yuntang, don't you see that grandma, father and mother are sitting here?"
"Why did you leave without even saying hello? Is this your upbringing as the Night Princess?"
Ji Yuntang glanced at him coldly and said sarcastically: "Who are you?"
"Who are they?"
"Where are the grandmother, father and mother you mentioned? Why can't I see them?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and asked Taozhi, "Taozhi, have you seen my parents?"
Taozhi shook her head in agreement, "To answer your question, Princess, I didn't see it either."
