A crisp "click" sound echoed in the room. Ji Lingxue sat elegantly on the chair, wearing a light pink brocade embroidered skirt, an elegant lily bun, a red bean pearl hairpin inserted diagonally, and holding a red apple in her hand, biting it into a big bite.
Hearing Xiao Yichen's roar, Ji Lingxue raised her head calmly, chewed the food in her mouth slowly and swallowed it, then said: "Prince, why haven't you rested yet so late? It's thundering and raining outside. Why are you running around? Fortunately, the lightning didn't strike you just now."
Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, looked Ji Lingxue up and down and asked, "When did you move here?"
What was wrong with him just now? Why did he think that this stupid woman Ji Lingxue would be struck by lightning and worriedly dug three feet deep in the rain to look for her
Xiao Yichen clenched his hands hanging by his side. Maybe it was because he had been in the rain for too long, but now his whole body was cold.
Ji Lingxue counted carefully on her fingers, and then said, "Half an hour ago, I saw lightning and thunder in the sky above the side yard. I was scared, so I moved here with Mo Xiang. I heard from the housekeeper that all the furniture here is new, so I thought it would be better to move here today."
The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched. He raised his hand to rub his aching head. The next moment, his nose felt itchy and he sneezed violently.
Ji Lingxue said, "Your Highness, you are soaked to the skin. Why are you still standing here? Go take a hot shower and change into dry clothes. You will catch a cold."
Xiao Yichen's face turned black. Ji Lingxue actually despised him and drove him away.
Perhaps it was his pride that got the better of him. He turned around and looked at Mo Xiang who was kneeling at the door, and said angrily, "Why are you still standing here? Didn't you listen to what your princess said? Go and prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath and change my clothes right away."
Mo Xiang looked up at Xiao Yichen in surprise. It was true that the prince was very angry, but he did not lose his temper with the princess. Not only that, he actually wanted to live here.
Ji Lingxue looked up at Xiao Yichen and cursed in her heart: Don’t you have a new concubine to pamper? It is said that a wife is not as good as a concubine. Why are you going to Zisu to seek comfort
Xiao Yichen turned his head and met Ji Lingxue's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you unhappy that I am staying at your place tonight?"
If it were Ji Yuqing, she would probably jump on him with joy and give him a kiss and a hug.
Ji Lingxue shrugged and winked at Mo Xiang at the door, "Mo Xiang, go and boil some hot water for the prince. The prince got caught in the rain, so you should prepare a medicinal bath to treat any illness or prevent any disease."
"Yes." Mo Xiang nodded and quickly retreated.
The butler was also smart. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, he quietly left.
Ji Yuqing stood at the window, feeling the cold wind and watching the heavy rain outside. A black umbrella gradually became clear from the rain curtain. She walked closer to the eaves and saw a strange face under the umbrella. It was Zi Ye, the newly sent maid to the palace.
Ji Yuqing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the disappointment that could not be wiped away. Xiao Yichen still didn't come tonight. He took Zisu as his concubine. He should rest at her place at this time...
"Concubine... why haven't you rested yet?" Zi Ye put away the umbrella, walked to Ji Yuqing, and put a coat on her. "It's very cold on a stormy night, take care of yourself." Zi Ye is also a considerate girl, and Ji Yuqing is very satisfied with this.
Ji Yuqing said: "There was thunder and lightning just now, I couldn't sleep. Is everything okay in the palace?"
Zi Ye answered honestly: "When I came here, I met the housekeeper and the guards of the palace heading towards the side yard. I heard that lightning struck the roof of the side yard..."
Ji Yuqing's eyes lit up. The woman she hated the most lived in the side yard. She was naturally happy to hear that something happened in the side yard.
