Ji Lingxue said with a wry smile: "Isn't it that your biggest wish is that you get pregnant with the prince's child as soon as possible so that you can be honored as a mother by having a child?" Then she waved her hand, "Don't worry, I, as your elder sister, will definitely protect you..." As she spoke, her eyes swept back and forth on Ji Yuqing's belly, as if she wanted to see a flower.
Ji Yuqing felt uncomfortable when Ji Lingxue looked at her. She gritted her teeth silently and hated herself for not being able to make Xiao Yichen calm down towards her, and let that bitch Ji Lingxue get the advantage.
Ji Lingxue looked up at the floating clouds in the sky and asked, "Sister, I heard that there is a Guanyin Temple outside the city that is particularly effective for praying for children. Can we go there together some other day?"
Ji Yuqing nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, my sister invited me so kindly, how dare I refuse."
Ji Lingxue turned to Mo Xiang and said, "Mo Xiang, I'll leave this matter to you. See which day is auspicious to go out."
Mo Xiang nodded, took out the small notebook he carried with him, flipped through it, and said, "Ten days from now will be a good day, Master, what do you think?"
Ji Lingxue nodded, "Okay, let's set it for ten days later." She turned her head and glanced at Ji Yuqing and said, "Oh, sister, I am in charge of the expenses of the mansion now. If you need anything, just tell Mo Xiang."
Ji Yuqing began to count on her fingers, "Sister, I'm missing a few sets of formal clothes in my closet. I'll need them for traveling and attending banquets in the future. My rouge is almost used up, and... I ordered a set of jewelry at Linglangxuan last time and haven't paid for it yet... and..."
Ji Lingxue paused, twitched her lips and said, "Sister, have you forgotten your identity? You are just a concubine, and attending banquets is what the main wife has to do. In addition, the prince gave me the account book yesterday. Last month, the prince gave you a set of red coral jewelry. You should return the set that Linglangxuan ordered. Too many jewelry will easily cause obsession."
Ji Yuqing: “…”
Ji Yuqing was still disheveled in the wind after Ji Lingxue and Mo Xiang left for a while. "Damn Ji Lingxue, you started to deduct my expenses as soon as you became the accountant! You wait, I'd better not catch you, otherwise, your career as a princess will be over!"
In the study of the palace, Zi Ye reported the confrontation between Ji Lingxue and Ji Yuqing to Xiao Yichen in detail, and then stood aside waiting for orders.
Xiao Yichen leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his hands resting on the table, clasping them intermittently.
Xiao Yichen: "Ji Lingxue is going to the Guanyin Temple?" Why does it sound so weird? She doesn't even let me touch her, so why would she go to the Guanyin Temple to pray for a son
"Yes, this is what the princess agreed with the concubine." Zi Ye replied.
Xiao Yichen said: "Go investigate the Guanyin Temple outside the city."
"Yes!" Zi Ye nodded, turned around and followed the order.
A building had been built beside the official road in the west of the city at some point. Outside the building, a red flag was fluttering in the wind, with the word "Wine" written on it in large letters.
A carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant and a young girl walked out of the carriage. She was wearing green clothes and had black hair. It was Mo Xiang who was leaving the mansion.
Xiao Si was sweeping the floor with a broom. When he saw Mo Xiang approaching slowly, his eyes lit up and he approached her to chat with her: "Beautiful girl, are you here for dinner?"
Mo Xiang's mouth twitched, "I came here on the orders of my master to see if the restaurant has been completed on schedule."
Upon hearing that it was someone sent by Ji Lingxue, Xiao Si invited Mo Xiang to sit down more attentively, and called all his beggar brothers to line up neatly in front of Mo Xiang.
