Chapter 116 Good Sister~
Seeing Concubine Shu coming in with such a threatening look, but leaving inexplicably, Lan Fu was totally confused.
She looked at Yun Ji: "Miss, why did the Imperial Concubine leave so suddenly? Will she no longer embarrass us?"
"Not necessarily," Yun Ji's eyes were deep, "She just had something to deal with, but she didn't say she would let us go."
"So what should we do now?" Without Imperial Concubine Shu present, Lan Fu no longer had to bow her head. She stood up straight and said, "Stand here and wait for the Imperial Concubine to come back?"
"Of course not. When she comes back, what does it have to do with us?" Yun Ji pointed at the bag on the ground, then moved to the spider web in the corner of the side hall, "Put the things in the hall and clean up the dust."
Lan Fu said "Oh" and started to take action. The other two people heard the order and naturally took action.
"By the way," Yun Ji looked at the two unknown servants and slowly wandered around, "What are your names, respectively?"
The maid in the green palace dress replied first: "Your Highness, my name is Bihe."
The eunuch was one step behind her: "Madam, I am Xiao Zhuzi."
"Well," Yun Ji had a general impression of them through their appearance and their responses, and retracted his scrutinizing gaze, "I understand, you guys go and clean up the yard outside."
Even though they didn't understand why Yunji sent them out, Bihe and Xiaozhuzi still took their tools and went to sweep the yard.
"Miss," Lan Fu was seldom seen that Yun Ji was not only ordering her around, so she moved closer to him and lowered her voice, "If you want to know something, just ask me. Why do you have to talk to them in person?"
Thinking that Lan Fu had grown up with Nan Yingzhi since she was a child, and had almost always been active under his nose, and there was no possibility that she would defect to others, Yun Ji chose to reveal everything: "There is a spy among us."
Lan Fu was surprised and said "Ah?" but then quickly stopped talking. She looked at Bihe and Xiaozhuzi who were in the courtyard and looked completely normal. She asked, "What's going on?"
"It's not clear yet." Thinking that Lan Fu could help find the spy, Yun Ji's eyes were sincere, as if speaking from the bottom of his heart, "You are the only one I trust, so please pay more attention to their actions."
"No problem," Lan Fu's tail was about to fly to the sky after Yun Ji praised her so highly. She couldn't help but say with a proud tone, "Leave it to me!"
As she is still in her menstrual period, Yunji is quite sensitive to the smells around her.
He endured it for a long time, but still felt that there was a bit of dust in the room, which was stuffy, so he simply walked to the window and opened it himself.
There was a creaking sound. There was dust on the window, as if it had been left there for years. He moved it rashly, stirring up the dust floating on the surface.
The dust blowing towards him made Yunji cough.
Lan Fu felt distressed and quickly pulled him away from the window and found him a clean chair: "Miss, you must be exhausted after walking all the way here. I will take care of these chores for them. Please sit down and take a rest."
Although he felt a little embarrassed to watch Lan Fu, a woman, doing the rough work while he himself rested peacefully, the menstrual blood made people tired. Even if Yun Ji wanted to get up and help, he was powerless.
There was not much physical work to do, so Yun Ji wondered when Concubine Shu would come again.
Unexpectedly, she was nowhere to be seen until lunch time.
Why is this matter so critical that Concubine Shu doesn't even want to deal with Zhaoyi herself who came to her door?
"Miss," seeing Yun Ji staring at the delicacies on the table without moving her chopsticks, Lan Fu asked softly, "Why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?"
Sweeping the greasy look on the meat dishes and staring at the vegetarian dishes, Yun Ji frowned and squeezed out two words: "Greasy, bland."
He didn't quite understand where the light porridge, cabbage and some meat had gone.
How can he get a promotion when there are a table full of dishes that are either too greasy or too bland for him to eat?
Seeing the pastries placed next to the main course, Lan Fu had an idea: "How about trying this sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour pastry?"
Before Yun Ji could say anything, he was interrupted by Lan Fu's overwhelming memories.
"In the past, there was a pastry shop in the capital, and chestnut pastry was their signature dish," Lan Fu's eyes sparkled when she mentioned the past. "When you were still young, you loved it so much that you often ate so much that your mouth was covered with crumbs.
"The general often bought it back, watched you eat it, and teased you. You got angry and hit the general..."
Yun Ji had also heard this story from Nan Yi.
Of course, it’s the version of “My daughter loves to eat it so much and keeps pestering me to buy it for her every day. What can I do? She’s my own daughter, so I just spoil her.”
"What a pity," Lan Fu sighed, "You fell and hit your head. You don't remember a lot of things."
Ever since he learned that the current Nan Yingzhi was not the same Nan Yingzhi as before, Yun Ji had also considered whether the current Nan Yingzhi could still be considered the daughter of his old friend, and how she got into the body of the former Nan Yingzhi.
But he found that no matter how much he thought about it, he could not get a definite answer, so he simply relaxed and stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, all he wanted was for his sweetheart Nan Yingzhi to be safe and sound, for his good friend Nan Yi to stop starving himself to death, for Lingfeng to not die on the battlefield, and for Lingyu to not give up and become disillusioned with the world.
As for the rest...
"My dear sister, are you having lunch?"
A voice appeared out of nowhere, interrupting Yun Ji's aimless and floating thoughts.
He followed the voice and was surprised to find that the person who said this was actually Concubine Shu who had just been arguing with him.
Concubine Shu's face was full of smiles, and as if to show her sincerity, she even carried the box of pastries personally.
Yun Ji would rather be mocked by her than be so strangely gentle. His brows furrowed even more tightly.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty, come here, but is there anything you want to say?"
"Nothing happened. I was just worried that my sister might not be used to it yet, so I came to check on her."
Ignoring Yun Ji's suspicion, Concubine Shu sat down beside Yun Ji, full of enthusiasm, a completely different person from before: "I see there are still a lot of dishes left, don't you like them, sister?"
Seeing Yun Ji nodded hesitantly, she hurriedly opened the box.
A sweet aroma unique to pastries suddenly wafted out.
