The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 365, Ji Chang

Mrs. Ji hugged the child, suffocated, and gouged out the eyes of the servant girl. The servant girl who served Ji Wuyu was trembling, full of fear.

Ji Wuyu was still crying in Mrs. Ji's arms, which was particularly harsh.

Master Ji's face was gloomy, "Brother Yu, how did you raise such a squeamish boy, what does he look like!"

"Master, Brother Yu is too young, even an adult may not be able to bear such a big wound, let alone a child."

Mrs. Ji retorted displeasedly, the more Ji Wuyu cried, the more embarrassing Mrs. Ji felt, wishing to catch Qi Yao and beat her up.

Master Ji was silenced, the corner of his mouth curled up in anger and helplessness.

"Okay, okay, since the child is crying, he still doesn't take it down to coax him, give him some medicine, what's the use of complaining here?"

Mrs. Ji squinted at Mrs. Ji angrily, thinking that Mrs. Ji had no eyesight.

"Sister-in-law, I still have a bottle of plaster for removing scars. I will ask the servant girl to bring it to you later."

Concubine Ji is also a little bit sorry, but no one can control Qi Yao's domineering temperament.

Mrs. Ji accepted it as soon as she saw it, and hummed, "Thank you, Princess, excuse me first."

Speaking of Mrs. Ji leaving Ji Wuyu in her arms, a servant girl rushed to invite the doctor, coaxing her all the way.

"It's unreasonable, it's too bullying!" Mrs. Ji looked more and more distressed, and couldn't help complaining, "How did you learn to be such a dude at such a young age? I really don't know how to raise it. Brother Yu is good, don't cry cry."

Mrs. Ji hugged Ji Wuyu distressedly and coaxed her, but Ji Wuxia couldn't help but say, "It's my younger brother who insisted on playing with Cousin Yao's whip, and accidentally hit himself, and then shook off Cousin Yao's whip."

Ji Wuyu glared at Ji Wuxia fiercely, "You don't help me either, mother, sister is bad!"

Ji Wuxia's chest kept rising and falling, her eyes were wide open, Mrs. Ji squinted at Ji Wuxia, "Okay, what's wrong with your brother now, why don't you, as a sister, feel distressed at all?"

Ji Wuxia also had a look of grievance, every time he confronted Ji Wuyu, he was never the one being favored.

"Mother, why do you offend Aunt when Aunt comes to our house? Aunt is now a princess. If you insist on going against Aunt, wouldn't it be in vain to benefit outsiders?"

Ji Wuxia stomped her feet, no matter how shrewd Mrs. Ji's mind was, she was confused when she met Ji Wuyu, and couldn't tell the inside from the outside.

Even Biyun couldn't help but glance at Ji Wuxia, in fact what Ji Wuxia said was not wrong, Mrs. Ji shouldn't offend Princess Ji.

Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment, and tightly pursed her lips, "This is an adult's business, please don't meddle in it."

Seeing that Mrs. Ji was not enlightened at all, Ji Wuxia also took a breath, turned around and left.

"Ma'am, the eldest lady is right. We shouldn't offend the princess. The two young masters should be spoiled and spoiled since childhood. Why care about the momentary anger? The princess will leave sooner or later. Are you sending the princess to the wind chime?" Push it over there."

Biyun also stood up and couldn't help saying.

Mrs. Ji regretted it a long time ago, but she couldn't swallow it in her heart, and made her son feel wronged for nothing.

The atmosphere in the room became delicate, Princess Ji was talking with Mrs. Ji, because the previous episode was a bit embarrassing.

Mrs. Ji dismissed the maidservants, and there were only one or two personal servants left. Mrs. Ji sighed, "Although you are a princess, mother still has a few words to tell you,"

Princess Ji nodded, "Mother, please tell me."

"Brother Yao is the second son of the first line, and he has a big brother to support him, but in the future, the burden on him will not be lighter than that of Brother Yun. It is not a solution for you to be so spoiled. They say that a loving mother has many failures. Bring out a dude."

Mrs. Ji is not used to Princess Ji's accommodating Qi Yao, and the little boy should be educated from an early age, otherwise it will be very easy to be crooked when he grows up.

Princess Ji's face froze, then she lowered her head and picked up the teacup, "Daughter remembers what mother said, but brother Yao is deeply loved by the emperor, even if he wants to take care of it, he has to look at the emperor's face. My daughter is just a princess, how dare you intervene?" .”

Mrs. Ji was choked, and Princess Ji said again, "Brother Yao is mischievous, but his nature is good. If he grows up, he will go to the Imperial College and let the Taifu teach him, so naturally it will be fine."

Having said that, Mrs. Ji didn't dare to intervene, she changed the subject and picked up the matter.

After a while Mrs. Ji came back, with a smile on her face, "It's a child's family, brother Yu is fine, the princess doesn't have to worry about it and don't blame brother Yao, it's normal for boys to be mischievous."

Princess Ji smiled, "Sister-in-law said, as long as Brother Yu is fine, I will ask Brother Yao to apologize to Brother Yu later!"

Mrs. Ji waved her hand, "That's not necessary, it's all cousins ​​playing around, the princess doesn't have to be serious."

Princess Ji had been with Mrs. Ji for a few years before she got married, so she knew a little about Mrs. Ji's temperament. Ji Wuyu was Mrs. Ji's lifeblood, so she was so angry that she couldn't tell.

Concubine Ji immediately presented a set of ruby ​​jewelry, and the smile on Mrs. Ji's face deepened.

This Qi Yao went directly to Ji Wuyou, the maid couldn't look at him at all, and disappeared after a while.

Qi Yao squatted down under the flowers, watching the maid getting farther and farther away from him, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"Still trying to catch me, dreaming!"

Qi Yao patted his body, went straight into an empty yard and looked around curiously, suddenly looked up and found a figure in a tree, and ran over quickly.

"Hey, why did you run up the tree?"

Ji Wuyou lowered his head, and found a little boy the same size as himself looking up at him on the ground.

Ji Wuyou was holding a colored ribbon in his hand, with a few words written on it twisted and crooked, his body was tightly hugging the tree trunk, as if it was about to fall.

"who are you?"

"I am the son of King Qi Yaoxun, you must be Ji Wuyou, I have had a hard time finding you."

Qi Yao pretended to sigh, and then climbed up to the tree trunk with hands and feet and sat down.

Ji Wuyou frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"It's cool up there!" Qi Yao was confident and confident, and the two little guys became familiar with each other after chatting.

"Then why don't you go to the doctor when your aunt is sick, and just tie a silk ribbon and she will be cured?"

Ji Wuyou nodded, "I saw this case in the book, I hope my aunt's illness will recover soon."

Qi Yao nodded and rolled his eyes. At this time, the maid passed by and kept calling Qi Yao's name. Qi Yao immediately fell silent, with a look of interest in her eyes.

"Why don't you let them find you, your mother will be worried if she can't find you." Ji Wuyou exhorted like a little adult.

Qi Yao curled his lips, "It's a bit annoying to have so many people following, it's just a matter of going back later."

The two got down from the tree and played hide-and-seek to hide from the maid. Ji Wuyou rarely showed a smile on his face, and innocently followed Qi Yaodong to hide in Tibet.

Qi Yao led Ji Wuyou directly into a courtyard, locked the doors and windows, and was sweating profusely. When the two entered, they accidentally knocked over the table, and the candles on the table buzzed and spread along the curtain It burned.

This is a study room, where some books are stored on weekdays, and suddenly the room was filled with thick smoke. Before the two little guys noticed the danger, they watched the movement outside the door with great interest, and blocked the door tightly.

Ji Wuyou turned his head, his eyes widened, "It's not good, it's on fire."

Qi Yao also turned around to see this scene, and anxiously took the water on the table to pour the fire, but the fire became more and more fierce.

"Come on, help!" Ji Wuyou kept beating on the doors and windows, calling for help.

Those maids happened to leave again, they didn't hear it at all, and they missed it for life.

Soon the fire grew very fast, and kept running to the feet, Qi Yao gritted his teeth, "Move the pillar away."

Ji Wuyou nodded, and the two went to hug the pillar together, the more anxious they were, the more they couldn't open it, the heat behind them would be swallowed by a wave of heat at any time.

Fortunately, the boy passing by noticed something was wrong in time and shouted for help.

Princess Ji's heart stopped beating when she heard the news, "Hurry up! Save people, go up to save people, and make sure the second son is safe!"

"Yes!"

Concubine Ji was so anxious that she almost went up in person but was stopped by Mrs. Ji, "If you want to make any trouble, it's enough to have a maid."

Mrs. Ji's eyelids have been twitching all the time, something happened just a short while ago, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but touch her forehead, this grandson must be at odds with Ji's family!
Mrs. Ji didn't think so, there was a feeling of gloating in her heart, just after hitting Brother Yu, the retribution came so quickly, so don't mention it too much to relieve her anger, but she said worriedly on her face.

"Princess, don't worry, the child will be fine, who would have thought that something would happen in the blink of an eye, how does the servant girl take care of her, she really deserves to be punished!"

Princess Ji was too lazy to respond to Mrs. Ji's sarcastic remarks, the corners of her mouth were tight and anxious.

"Brother Yao! Brother Yao!" Princess Ji kept shouting inside.

After a while, the boy rushed in and carried Qi Yao and Ji Wuyou out. Both of them were unconscious, and their clothes were burnt.

Seeing Qi Yao being carried out, Princess Ji rushed over immediately, "Call the doctor!"

Princess Ji lowered her head and touched Qi Yao's cheek, "Brother Yao, wake up, don't scare the concubine mother, wake up quickly."

Soon a maid with fast legs went to invite the doctor, and the two were carried to the house, and soon the doctor gave a diagnosis and treatment.

"Second Young Master just sucked a lot of heat and needs to recuperate for a while. This Young Master Ji is the same. He is not in danger of life. If it is later, it will be dangerous."

The doctor hastily wrote the assistant pharmacy and handed it to the maid, then took the money and left.

Concubine Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't bear it for a while, fearing that her back would feel chilly.

Mrs. Ji hesitated to speak, but she had no choice but to say, "You, if you get used to it like this, something will happen sooner or later. The child is still young so he can't tell right from wrong."

Princess Ji raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Ji, "Daughter remembers what mother said. Fortunately, the two children are fine now."

Why doesn't Mrs. Ji feel sorry for her daughter, Princess Ji is still shaking and can't help crying, Mrs. Ji simply didn't speak, but blamed all the responsibility on Ji Wuyou.

Two days later, Qi Yao finally woke up under the care of Princess Ji's clothes, but Princess Ji's heart ached.

"You scared the concubine to death!"

Qi Yao rubbed his little head, raised his head and reached out to wipe Princess Ji's tears, "Concubine Mother, Yao'er didn't do it on purpose, by the way, where is Ji Wuyou, how is he doing?"

Concubine Ji was at a loss, and it took a while to realize that the child Qi Yao was talking about was Ji Wuyou.

"I'm going to see Ji Wuyou, concubine mother. It was Yao'er who forced him to play hide-and-seek. He accidentally walked into the study and knocked down the candle. It has nothing to do with him."

Qi Yao said that he was about to stand up and look for Ji Wuyou, so Princess Ji had no choice but to go with her.

"Second young master was punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall, and now he is not in the courtyard." The servant girl said.

Concubine Ji was a little surprised, such a young child is still weak, so it is too cruel to be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Hearing this, Qi Yao hurried to the ancestral hall, but two guards outside the ancestral hall stopped Qi Yao.

"Presumptuous, don't be your head, don't you dare to block the way of my young master!"

Qi Yao put his hands on his hips, his body full of anger, but he was quite imposing at such a young age.

"Young master, this is the ancestral hall, you can't enter without authorization." The servant stopped Qi Yao with a bitter face. Qi Yao only came for two days and disturbed Ji's family. Don't want to.

"Get out of the way!" Ji Wangfei said with a cold face, "Open the door, the old lady will have my concubine to explain, and I will take care of what happened!"

With Princess Ji's words, the two of them didn't dare to stop and quickly opened the door, and didn't dare to delay.

Qi Yao rushed in at once, and sure enough, he saw Ji Wuyou lying on the ground, his whole body was hot, and his little face was flushed red.

"Mother, Ji Wuyou is so hot."

Princess Ji waved her hand and yelled at the guards, "Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and take him out."

For a child who is more than five years old, Princess Ji treats her equally, and she only feels that this child and Qi Yao are very close.

Ji Wuyou seemed to have had a long, long dream. In the dream, he knew a little friend who would not look down on him because of his status as a concubine. He had a noble status, and when he went out, there were always many maids guarding him. .

Even bigger than Ji Wuyu's ostentation, but more mischievous than Ji Wuyu, he doesn't cry for a long time when he falls, and doesn't shed tears easily.

Ji Wuyou was used to the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child, and he has seen too many strange glances. Mrs. Ji is resentful, Ji Wuyu is contemptuous, even Mrs. Ji loathes herself, and the maidservant mocks and despises her.

Only Aunt Feng's eyes are full of kindness and helplessness, Mr. Ji, at first he was a little loving, but then he changed unconsciously.

Now there is another little friend, with pure eyes, Ji Wuyou can't see a trace of disdain.

When Qi Yao was around, he was like a domineering dude, Ji Wuyu hid every time he saw him, and Ji Wuyou secretly laughed several times in private.

Ji Wuyu was angry and annoyed, and was often teased by Qi Yao, so that he turned around and ran away when he saw Qi Yao later.

During the few days when Qi Yao was there, he went back to Fenglingyuan every day, and even Aunt Feng received attention, and his illness soon recovered.

Although Mrs. Ji was angry, she could only be anxious. No matter what she said, Qi Yao was still the only one, and Princess Ji couldn't control him.

When Qi Yao got angry, he directly moved out the emperor, and everyone dared not refute it, and no one cared about him anymore.

Qi Yao smiled, "If you have power, everyone will respect you. If you are not favored, even the prince will be trampled underfoot."

Ji Wuyou was deeply touched when he heard this. Qi Yao didn't behave like a five-year-old child at all that day. He said, "A few days ago in the palace, the eighth princess, who was six or seven years old, was playful and accidentally broke the clothes of the imperial concubine and empress. , Although the imperial concubine didn't say anything on the surface, but that night I saw with my own eyes that the big palace maid next to the imperial concubine pushed the eighth princess into the river and let the eighth princess drown to death."

Ji Wuyou looked surprised, "That's a princess, doesn't the emperor care?"

Qi Yao didn't take it seriously, "Every year, the imperial grandfather has children born, and there are countless deaths and injuries, and I don't care if this one is missing."

Qi Yao turned his eyes and smiled at Ji Wuyou, "Status doesn't determine everything. Grandfather said that the person who is often overlooked and looked down upon by others can kill enemies wantonly when he stands at the top after living. I didn't know that before. I understand, but then I gradually understood.”

Ji Wuyou suddenly felt that being the heir of the royal family was actually not easy. Qi Yao also told him that he was often plotted against over the years, and almost lost his life several times, but he escaped cleverly.

The most dangerous time was when he was thrown in the wilderness and almost died by the sword. He bit the finger and dripped blood to make marks on the road, attracting a group of wolves, and the guards had no choice but to abandon him. Run away in a hurry.

With no way to retreat, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward. Fortunately, the emperor's hidden guards found him that time, and many hidden guards were injured to save Qi Yao that time.

Another time, the empress in the palace coaxed Qi Yao to eat cakes, but the emperor found out, and the emperor punished Qi Yao to kneel for three days, and no one was allowed to intercede.

It was later that Qi Yao realized that not everyone could eat what was given to him, especially the women in the palace, so they had to be more careful.

Qi Yao told Ji Wuyou little by little what happened in the palace and around him, and Ji Wuyou sighed unceasingly, only to realize that the life of the little overlord was also so difficult.

"I also have a younger brother, but I don't like him, just like that coward Ji Wuyu, timid and crying, I often bully him, no one dares to say anything about me, although everyone says I'm arrogant, but they are very relieved of me in their hearts. "

Unknowingly, Ji Wuyou learned a lot of truths from Qi Yao, people don't care about being low for a while, and the current high-ranking person may not be the real winner.

Ji Wuyou is very grateful to Qi Yao for being honest with him without any reservation.

"Ji Wuyou, if I have the ability to become a general in the future, you must also work hard!"

Qi Yao looked solemn at such a young age.

Ji Wuyou nodded heavily, the scene of that day was deeply etched in Ji Wuyou's mind.

It rained heavily in Bianzhou that day, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.

Ji Wuyou's tiny figure knelt in the rain and stubbornly refused to bow his head. It was the second day after Princess Ji left.

Because of Mrs. Ji's relationship, Princess Ji finally chose Ji Wuyu, and left a few masters to teach Ji Wuyu the way of officialdom and learn various etiquette.

Before leaving, Qi Yao sneaked over to look for him, "Ji Wuyou will still be able to travel the world with money in the future, and I will fight in the future and you will provide food and grass, and I will wait for you in Kyoto!"

Ji Wuyou remembered this sentence in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he must stand out.

As soon as the person left, Mrs. Ji finally vented her anger that had been simmering for several days, and found an excuse to punish Ji Wuyou to kneel on the porch for a day.

For some reason this time, Master Ji didn't help Ji Wuyou to intercede.

During that kneeling, Ji Wuyou's legs became numb and he lost consciousness. Later, the servant girl hugged him back to the wind chime yard, and Ji Wuyou fell ill for several days because of this.

From then on, Ji Wuyou would never be as disobedient as before, learned to hide his emotions, and tolerated Ji Wuyu everywhere.

Even so, Mrs. Ji still refused to let Aunt Feng's mother and son go, and fought against Aunt Feng's mother and son everywhere, and gave Mr. Ji many young and beautiful concubines. Although my aunt was sad, she did not blame Mr. Ji.

That year, Ji Wuyou was six years old, and the elder Ji suddenly brought back a woman and a child who was the same age as Ji Wuyou, named Ji Chang.

Ji Chang's biological mother is Aunt Liu, who is pretty and has a sweet mouth, and is very good at making the old lady and the eldest lady happy.

It is said that Aunt Liu is still a child of an official family, and it was because of the decline of the family that she became a concubine for Master Ji.

Aunt Feng's body turned back and forth, and Master Ji came less and less frequently, and stayed with Aunt Liu all day long.

Aunt Feng was dejected, and often waited for that figure under the window. Ji Wuyou secretly watched it several times, and made up her mind to work harder.

The mother and son seemed to be forgotten, Fenglingyuan began to stay behind closed doors, Aunt Feng was getting thinner day by day, and Ji Wuyou worked hard from morning to night.

Later, because of that child Ji Chang, the part that originally belonged to Ji Wuyou's successor fell on Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was vigorously cultivated, and the elder Ji personally took Ji Chang to various occasions, and was accompanied by many maids and women to serve him every day.

Obviously, Ji Chang is also a concubine, but the treatment far surpasses him.

Mrs. Ji doesn't seem to hate that child, but she treats Ji Chang very well, and Ji Chang must have a share of what Ji Wuyu has.

The servant girl said that it was because the eldest lady bought Ji Chang, and wanted Ji Chang to help Ji Wuyu more in the future. Even the master praised Ji Chang as a genius, no worse than the son of King Xun in the capital.

Qi Yun was so eloquent at such a young age, the emperor liked it very much, and he was often brought by his side to teach him. Everyone said that Qi Yun would have a great future in the future, and even the questions given by the top student in the new subject could not stump him.

Now that there is another Ji Chang, the Ji family will focus on cultivating them, as the next Qi Yun, it is best to drive the development of the Ji family to have a limitless future.

Ji Chang gave too much hope, Ji Wuyou gritted his teeth and worked harder in private, and never went out to play again.

Soon there were new changes in Ji's family. Mr. Ji's investment failed one after another, and he lost a large sum of money, losing money year after year.

There is also a part of Ji's family that is based on grain and supplies royal grain.

Successive years of drought have led to a significant reduction in food production, affecting many places, and the Ji family has declined a little bit.

Master Ji often came back home late at night, drunk and would stay out all night. Aunt Feng always had to watch the time to make a bowl of hot egg noodles, and didn't rest until dawn.

Ji Wuyou was woken up this day, and quickly grabbed Bai Zhi and asked, "What happened outside, such a big commotion?"

It was pitch black outside, Ji Wuyou had always slept very lightly, and soon woke up, and was about to go out after putting on his clothes.

Bai Zhi said, "Second Young Master, something happened to Aunt Liu."

Ji Wuyou's eyelids twitched.

"An adult who came to the mansion today was drunk and belittled Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu jumped into the well in shame and anger." Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped Ji Wuyou.

Ji Wuyou frowned and stayed up all night.

The next day, I heard that Ji Chang was framed by the eldest lady for stealing the family jade and was beaten half to death. Ji Wuyou sighed, only to find out that Mrs. Ji had always been jealous of Aunt Liu and had always been tolerant, and that Aunt Liu was all designed by the eldest lady.

Ji Wuyou couldn't help feeling chills down his spine, what Qi Yao said was right, he couldn't trust anyone.

Later, Ji Wuyou heard that Ji Chang had killed a maid named Biyun next to Mrs. Ji, and that maid Ji Wuyou knew, and she always advised Mrs. Ji to plot against others.

When she died, Ji Wuyou had no sympathy at all. She just wondered if Mrs. Ji had endured for so many years, should she attack Aunt Feng and herself, and remove obstacles for Ji Wuyu, so that there would be no future troubles.

Later, Ji Chang disappeared and left Ji's house completely without any news. No one knew where he went, only took away the things that belonged to Aunt Liu, and some people said that he went to the capital.

Ji Wuyou was always worried that Mrs. Ji would be unfavorable to Aunt Feng. Before that day came, but waiting for the news that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji had reconciled without reason, Ji Wuyou couldn't figure it out for a while.

It turned out that Mrs. Ji lost all the property of the Ji family, and Mrs. Ji took away the dowry and a pair of children in a fit of anger. Mrs. Ji didn't stop her, and fell ill for several months.
