Concubine You Can't: The Evil Emperor Dotes on Qingcheng Concubine

Chapter 44 Yang Wan
Concubine Liu's birthday banquet ended like this, and Ji Mengwan won the title of the most beautiful woman in Jinzhou as she wished, and she was in the limelight for a while.But when it comes to popularity among the ladies in Jinzhou, it is obviously not as good as Ji Zhuyu.

The specific manifestation is that invitations to Ji Zhuyu to go out to enjoy flowers and drink tea are continuously delivered to Ji's mansion. You must know that this was the treatment that Ji Mengwan, the second beauty, could enjoy in the past, and it also means that Ji Zhuyu is a socialite in Jinzhou. The circle became an instant hit.

As for why she suddenly became popular, Ji Zhuyu himself knew very well.

Those golden branches and jade leaves suddenly swarmed to see her, and it wasn't because of Ji Mengwan's fluorescent black pleated skirt.The ladies were moved when they saw the beautiful clothes, and wanted Ji Zhuyu to make one for them too.

Are you kidding me, there are not to mention thousands of ladies with golden branches and jade leaves in Jinzhou City, there are still hundreds of them, if everyone has a whole body, Gu Xi will definitely take a knife to Ji's mansion and chop her up.

After all, she only had to talk, but Gu Xi was the one who really did it.

Although Gu Xi is young, she is a boy after all, if it is known that the two of them have a relationship, then she, who is already engaged, will definitely be caught and soaked in a pig cage.That's why she lied in front of the emperor because Zhao's mother did it. The emperor has everything to do, so he will definitely not come to investigate, and naturally he will not know that she lied.

Although most of the ladies' invitations to go out were rejected on the grounds of being sick, but some invitations could not be refused no matter what.

For example, Princess Anhui.

When Ji Zhuyu received the third invitation from Princess Anhui, she knew she had to go out this time.

The other party has a noble status. I am a princess personally appointed by the emperor, my father is the only prince with a foreign surname in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and my aunt is the most powerful concubine in the palace.If I still don't agree after the princess has handed over the invitation three times, it's clear that I don't take the princess seriously, and offending her won't do me any good.

So Ji Zhuyu asked Xuetong to dress up a little before going out to her appointment.

Princess Anhui made an appointment to meet at a mansion outside the city of Prince An's Mansion, and even carefully sent a carriage to pick her up. Ji Zhuyu got into the carriage unceremoniously. Anyway, she couldn't find the location of the mansion. , someone leads the way just fine.

The carriage stopped not long after driving, Ji Zhuyu got out of the carriage, and was led into the mansion by the servant who had already been waiting outside the door.

Although it was the beginning of summer, the lotus in the house was already in full bloom, and Princess Anhui was leisurely admiring the lotus under the service of her servants.

When he walked to Princess Anhui's side, Ji Zhuyu saluted politely, "Greetings to Princess Anhui."

Princess Anhui glanced at Ji Zhuyu from the corner of her eye, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and said sarcastically: "Miss Ji is really arrogant, the princess asked you three times before moving you, even if you are in the palace Your imperial concubine is not as imposing as you."

Ji Zhuyu shook her head secretly, knowing that the princess thought she was pretending to be ill and not going out, so she refuted her face, and said softly: "I had a cold earlier, but it didn't heal, and I was afraid that I would give the princess a sickness, so I rejected the princess' invitation , now that he has recovered from his illness, he hurried over to make amends to the princess, please forgive me."

Ji Zhuyu's expression was sincere, and her tone was gentle, besides, she not only rejected her before, but also rejected other girls who invited her to go out to play.So Princess Anhui believed that she was really sick, and didn't make things difficult for her anymore. After signaling her to sit down, she ordered her servants to show her tea.

Not long after Ji Zhuyu sat down, Princess Anhui couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Ji, do you know why the princess asked you here today?"

"It's okay for the princess to speak up, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help the princess."

Princess Anhui was slightly startled, took a meaningful look at Ji Zhuyu and said, "You are easy to talk to, much more likable than your fourth younger sister."

Ji Zhuyu smiled and said: "Fourth sister was spoiled by her father since she was a child, so she was inevitably a little arrogant. If there was something that offended the princess before, please forgive me."

Having said that, Princess Anhui finally looked at Ji Zhuyu.I heard that the young miss of the Ji family was often bullied by the other young ladies of the Ji family in the Ji family, but today she pleaded for mercy because of Ji Mengwan. Is it because the rumors are wrong, or she is just a big-hearted person.

With such doubts, Yang Wan chatted with Ji Zhuyu for a long time.After talking for a while, Yang Wan's favorability towards Ji Zhuyu increased significantly, and she felt that the gentle and soft-spoken girl in front of her and Ji Mengwan didn't look like they were born of the same father.

"This princess has always been straightforward in doing things, and the most shameful person is to put on a show, so she and Ji Mengwan are in the same situation. Although you are her biological sister, this princess really likes you."

Ji Zhuyu still said gently: "Thank you Princess for your compliment."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, the main reason I called you here today is to let you make another dress for me with the fabric used to make the Yingmo pleated skirt, and make it even more beautiful than Ji Mengwan's. can you do it?"

Ji Zhuyu paused while holding the tea, and said in his heart, it is time to come, "It can be done, but the fabric is complicated and cumbersome, and the time it takes to make one piece is worth ten pieces of other cloth. I just wonder if the princess can afford to wait?"

The princess has a high status, it is impossible to directly refuse her, only agree to her.The work of the fabric was indeed time-consuming. At that time, Gu Xi had worked so hard to finish the piece of fabric by the appointed time. Now that the task was completed, she couldn't squeeze him anymore.But in order to prevent Princess Anhui from causing trouble because she waited too long, she had to say the ugly things first.

Yang Wanxian waved her hand and said loudly: "Don't worry, as long as you can make it, the princess can afford to wait for as long as you want. As for the reward, it's 500 taels of silver. You take it first, and after the clothes are ready, the princess will be able to wait for a long time." The Lord has another reward of 500 taels."

Ji Zhuyu took the bank note handed over by Yang Wan with an excited expression.Although the clothes are time-consuming and laborious to make, they cost less than 1000 taels of silver.
