Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 36 Is This King Eating Soft Rice?

"Okay... good boy." Seeing that Meng Jing was willing to agree to her request, Concubine Yun's expression became softer. She stroked his face and slowly helped him up from the ground. She turned her gaze, Looking into the house again, she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Concubine Mu wants to... and A Ci also apologize. What happened last time was indeed Concubine Mu's fault."

Meng Jing heard Concubine Yun's attitude was so low, how could she bear to apologize to a junior, and hurriedly supported her and said, "That's not necessary, A Ci's son will say it..."

"Okay...then I will trouble you." Concubine Yun seemed to have really turned her back on her ways, and her words were all polite, without any of the previous slyness and domineering.
Meng Jing said "Yes", then looked at Han Zhe who had already returned to the hall and said, "You stay here with the concubine, this king will go to persuade the concubine."

"Yes, my lord!" Han Zhe agreed.

He knew better than anyone else that the prince didn't really ask him to accompany Concubine Yun, but to look at Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun watched Meng Jing leave, and after he left, she remained gentle and obedient, even taking a sip of the ordinary tea on the table.

Xie Ciju, Chu Ci was leaning on the couch reading a book, suddenly heard footsteps, she slowly raised her head...

Seeing that it was Meng Jing who came in, she frowned imperceptibly, and said, "The concubine is gone?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Meng Jing's face, but she said nothing.

Chu Ci's face darkened all of a sudden, and he raised his long eyebrows, "What request did you agree to her?"

Meng Jing pursed her lips, and after a while, she finally said, "Mother concubine sincerely admits her mistake, this king promised mother concubine to move back to live with the regent princess."

"Admit your mistake sincerely?" Chu Ci sneered, "With you or with me? If it's with you, then you can move back to live, I won't go back!"

"Ah Ci, concubine mother is the king's biological mother after all!" Meng Jing looked at Chu Ci with a embarrassed face and said.

Chu Ci just sneered, "You also said that she is your biological mother and has nothing to do with me. She neither gave birth to me nor raised me, so she has no right to slap me at all."

"This king knows that it was my concubine's fault that time, but now, she has already known her mistake, and she is willing to apologize to you."

"Really? I'm sorry, I didn't hear Tangtang's apology to me."

The embarrassment on Meng Jing's face became heavier, "It was the king who stopped the concubine mother."

"Okay!" Chu Ci waved his hand to stop him, raised his chin, looked at him coldly, and said word by word, "No matter what you say, I won't go back. If you want to go back, you should go back!"

"... Ah Ci, are you really so heartless?" Meng Jing's brows were full of gloom.

Chu Ci looked into his eyes, feeling a little helpless, "If you think so, I can't help it. I've never been a magnanimous person. I might as well tell you clearly today, Concubine, I will never forgive you in my life. She. Whether she apologizes or not, I will never forgive her!"

"A Ci!" Meng Jing was a little anxious.

Chu Ci turned his head to look at the maid in the house, and said coldly, "Dumb girl, see off the guests!"

The dumb girl is a mute, but her hearing is fine. When she heard Chu Ci's order, she immediately walked towards Meng Jing, her eyes widened, and she looked at him ferociously, as if she was about to kick someone out.

Meng Jing had no choice but to sigh and back out.

In the hall, Concubine Yun saw Meng Jing coming back alone.

Embarrassment appeared on his face, he looked at Meng Jing and asked, "Jing'er... Is it because Ah Ci refuses to forgive mother and concubine?"

Meng Jing glanced at Concubine Yun, but said nothing.

Concubine Yun seemed to understand what he meant, she stood up suddenly, stepped forward and said, "Concubine Mother, go and talk to Ah Ci! Ah Ci is a genius doctor who can help the world. Her medical skills are so brilliant, and her heart must be soft." , as long as she sees Concubine Mu's sincerity, she will definitely forgive Concubine Mu."

Meng Jing heard Concubine Yun's words, but doubts appeared on her face.

But Concubine Yun didn't give him a chance to say no at all, she took Yun Hui and Chun Xiao, and walked towards Xie Ciju where Chu Ci was...

Xie Ciju, Arhat on the bed.

Chu Ci covered his eyes with a book, closing his eyes and worrying.

Hearing footsteps again, she thought it was Meng Jing who went and came back, without even taking the book off her face, she snorted outside, "Meng Jing, you don't have to say any more, I'm It is impossible to forgive the concubine, let alone go back with you!"

When Concubine Yun heard what Chu Ci said unconsciously, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she took a few steps closer to her.

Chu Ci didn't wait for Meng Jing's reply for a long time before realizing something was wrong. She reached out and took the letter off her face, looked sideways, and realized that the person who came was not Meng Jing at all, but her deadly enemy, Concubine Yun...

After a while, I got up from the couch, put on my slippers and got off the ground, straightened my back, and said coldly, "What is the purpose of the concubine coming to my burrow?"

"Concubine Mother...this time I'm here to apologize for you!" Concubine Yun looked into Chu Ci's eyes, her voice was weakly exhausted, and said, "The last time I hit you, it was really Concubine Mother's fault, Concubine Mother Now that I know I was wrong, can you forgive Concubine Mu?"

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci raised a cold sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and said word by word, "No! I won't forgive you either!"

"A Ci, are you really so ruthless?" Concubine Yun's body was on the verge of falling, and a line of tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes, "I have come to personally apologize to you, what else do you want, don't you... you Do you have to return that slap?"

"Yes, so what!" Chu Ci pressed hard, "I just want to return that slap to you, so what?"

"..." Concubine Yun was so threatened by her, tears rolled down her eyes.For a while, it was impossible to stop.

Just when Chu Ci thought that she would retreat in the face of difficulties, she suddenly stopped crying, then suddenly raised her hand, and slapped herself heavily.

Then, he fell to the ground with a plop, leaned over, and tremblingly said, "Now, I have given you double the slap, can you forgive me?"

Chu Ci stared fixedly at the red mark on her face, and didn't say a word for a while.

Just then, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

The next moment, Meng Jing raised the curtain and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Concubine Yun kneeling on the ground.

Immediately, she called out "Mother Concubine", rushed forward, half-kneeled beside her and said loudly, "Mother Concubine, what are you doing?"

Concubine Yun was tightly grasped by Meng Jing's arm. She turned her head, showing him the scars on her face, and said, "Jing'er, Concubine Mother has tried her best... But Aci, she still doesn't want to hurt her." Willing to forgive Concubine Mu... Concubine Mu really doesn't know what to do!"

Meng Jing looked at the two slap marks on Concubine Yun's face, turned her head suddenly, looked at Chu Ci with a cold expression, and asked, "You did it?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci looked at him incredulously, and said in a cold voice, "My lord thinks it was me who hit him?"

Meng Jing was silent.

He was struggling, and the hand that was holding Concubine Yun's arm was stretched with blue veins.

Concubine Yun couldn't feel the tense atmosphere between the two, a bright light flashed in her eyes, she suddenly let out a muffled snort, then tightly grasped the clothes on Meng Jing's chest, and cried out, "Jing'er , don’t blame Ah Ci, this has nothing to do with Ah Ci, it was the concubine who beat her herself, and the concubine just wanted to ask for forgiveness from A Ci..."

Meng Jing heard that the slap on Concubine Yun's face was slapped by herself, and her face immediately softened a lot.

He didn't look at Chu Ci again, but raised his hand to caress the slap mark on Concubine Yun's face, and said helplessly, "Concubine Mu, why... why are you so impulsive!"

Concubine Yun didn't expect Meng Jing to blame her, so she froze in place.

I didn't say a word for a long time.

On the other hand, after hearing Meng Jing's words, Chu Ci felt better, and also chimed in, "Yes, Concubine, why are you so impulsive, and I didn't let you beat yourself up! I just said I won't forgive you, but I said it in a fit of anger, but in my heart I have forgiven you a long time ago, after all, there are no parents who are not right, right?"

Concubine Yun was so angry that she almost lost her breath after hearing Chu Ci's bland and breezy second-guessing!

This bitch, she obviously didn't say that just now!
She said she would never forgive her, she said she wanted to get that slap back double.

But now in front of Meng Jing, it has become a generous forgiveness.

Just a real scheming whore.

Concubine Yun felt bitter, but she couldn't express it.

When he finally left, Chu Ci did not go back to the palace.

And Meng Jing, after sending Concubine Yun back to the Prince Regent's mansion, rode back to Meng Jing's mansion.

But when he came back, it was already dark and it was past dinner time.

Chu Ci seemed to be angry in his heart, no matter whether it was dinner or bedtime, he didn't wait for him.

Meng Jing smeared and loosened her clothes, and then climbed onto Chu Ci's bed lightly.

After sleeping soundly, he tiptoed towards Chu Ci's waist again, trying to calmly hug him into his arms...

Chu Ci was naturally not asleep. As soon as Meng Jing stretched out her hand, she stabbed it with a single needle.

It is solid, the kind without any skills.

Meng Jing only felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand, and almost exhausted all her endurance, so she didn't cry out.

Reluctantly withdrew his hand, he opened his lips hoarsely, and called out, "A Ci."

Chu Ci sneered, "Didn't you go back with Concubine Nimu? What are you going back to me for now?"

"A Ci!" Meng Jing couldn't bear it, and reached out to hug Chu Ci again.

Chu Ci wanted to prick him with a needle, but the wrist holding the needle was pinched by Meng Jing.

Meng Jing suddenly turned over and landed on top of Chu Ci.

Looking into her eyes under the faint moonlight, he said softly, "What happened today is my fault. This king shouldn't force you to forgive my concubine just because of a momentary soft-heartedness. You are right. , The concubine mother is the concubine of the king, and has nothing to do with you, she has no reason to slap you, and the king has no reason to ask you to forgive her..."

Chu Ci snorted coldly.

Meng Jing lowered her head and lightly pecked her lips, "I promise that I will never make such a mistake again. Can you forgive me just once? Ah Ci, good Ah Ci~"

When it came to the end, it actually had a hint of coquettishness.

Chu Ci couldn't bear to hear it any longer, and stared at him with a stern face and snorted coldly, "Don't be an example!"

"Yes, yes, this is not an example!" Meng Jing raised two fingers to make an oath.

Only then did Chu Ci calm down, raised his hand and squeezed his ear hard, and complained, "It's too heavy, hurry up and get off me!"

As soon as Meng Jing heard her delicate tone, she knew that she had forgiven herself.

Immediately relaxed, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips again, close to her ear, bit her earlobe and said, "I served your corpse last night, why don't you despise me? It's useless now, just I want to kick this king away!"

"What are you talking about!" Chu Ci blushed.

Meng Jing no longer gave her a chance to speak, and directly lowered her head to seal it with a kiss.

Afterwards, the room was filled with only the sound of "Mmmmm".

At the same time, in the Palace of the Regent.

Concubine Yun was looking at the slap marks on her face in the mirror.

The more she looked, the worse the expression on her face became. After applying the medicine, tears welled up in her eyes due to the pain.

"Call Madam Liu in for me!" She slammed the dressing table and snapped at Yun Hui beside her.

When Yun Hui heard this, she immediately backed away.

Ever since Grandma Liu urged Concubine Yun to go to Yunshuiju to settle accounts with Chuci last time, she was rewarded twenty big boards by Meng Jing after she came back, and then she pretended to be a poor envoy, and she was no longer a high-ranking court nurse. .

Yun Hui was very efficient in handling things, and soon, Nanny Liu hurried in from the outside with a devastated face.

"This old servant has seen the empress dowager." When Dowager Yun approached, she saluted respectfully.

Concubine Yun heard her voice, without further ado, got up and walked in front of her, slapping her face a few times.

Nanny Liu endured the pain, and raised her head in a daze, only then did she see the slap print on Concubine Yun's face.

Her expression changed, "Madam Toffee, you..."

Concubine Yun saw the look in her eyes, and in an instant, she slapped her again, glaring at her and said sharply, "It's all your bad idea. Not only did I not win back Jing'er's heart, but I also got two slaps for nothing. , you lowly slave, I can't spare you..."

As he said that, he swept towards the two Nanny Wu who served in Hexuantang, and said in a hateful voice, "Drag this tricky slave out and beat him hard until all his teeth fall out!"

"Yes, empress dowager!" The two Wu mamas agreed, and dragged Liu mama outside.

Grandma Liu didn't expect Concubine Yun to be so violent towards her, so she desperately begged for mercy.

But Concubine Yun acted as if she didn't hear, and let her be dragged out...

After dealing with Madam Liu, Concubine Yun looked at Chun Xiao who was standing aside with a fearful expression on her face.

He waved at her, took her cold hand into his, and said distressedly, "I'm just dealing with one or two unscrupulous slaves. What are you afraid of? In my heart, you are different from them. I don't care about you." No one will punish you, so don't worry..."

"My servant thanked the concubine for her kindness!" Chun Xiao thanked her.

Concubine Yun stared at her for a long time, then opened her mouth and asked, "You are 20 years old now!"

Chunxiao was afraid that Concubine Yun would bring up the matter of marrying her to Meng Jing again, so she hurriedly said, "If you go back to your mother, in one month, this servant will be 21 years old."

She deliberately made her age older.

Sure enough, when Concubine Yun heard this, her complexion became serious.

She looked her up and down several times, and after a long time, she suddenly spoke, looked into her eyes, and asked tentatively, "Xiao'er, what do you think of An'er?"

Chun Xiao doesn't like Meng An in her heart.

But Meng An was the master, and she couldn't say something pertinent, so she had to avoid the important things and said lightly, "Sixth son is a good-looking talent, gentle and refined, he is a very good young man."

"Then what if I want to give you to him?" Concubine Yun asked again.

Chunxiao was terrified in his heart, subconsciously withdrew his hand, fell to his knees with a plop, shook his head and said, "Please don't send Xiao'er away, the concubine, Xiao'er just wants to be with the concubine, except He Xuan Tang, I don't want to go anywhere... I beg the concubine to be kind!"

Concubine Yun couldn't help frowning when she heard what Chun Xiao said, "So, you don't like An'er?"

Chun Xiao froze when she heard the words, but in order to avoid marrying Meng An, she still bite the bullet and said insincerely, "Yes, Xiao'er doesn't like the sixth son, in Xiao'er's eyes, from beginning to end, from beginning to end, There is only the prince alone, Xiao'er only likes the prince all his life, and only wants to marry him."

"Ah..." Concubine Yun sighed helplessly when she heard Chunxiao say this, then got up herself, helped her up from the ground, held her tender hand, and said, "I didn't expect you, girl, Still an infatuated... that's all, I will find a way to fulfill you!"

Chunxiao heaved a sigh of relief, didn't say any more, just nodded shyly.

……

Chu Ci nestled in the house for a while, and when the fetus in her womb was three months old, she couldn't stay in the house anymore.

After greeting Meng Jing, he simply took Zhejin and Zhexia to the Huichun Hall for a consultation.

Today is her first day back in the Spring Pavilion.

After she greeted the shopkeeper, she walked towards Si'er who was busy in the front hall.

Originally, she thought that Si'er would run over excitedly to help her as soon as she saw her.

But this time, he didn't.

Even when she called his name, he just turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, called "Wangfei", and said nothing else.

Chu Ci felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask him what was going on, but he didn't look at her again, as if he was avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.

She had no choice but to inquire with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't know where it was, so he stroked his beard and said, "This kid, it seems that since the last time the Huichun Pavilion was smashed, he has become enlightened. I have devoted all my energy to studying medicine behind a few doctors...Maybe in a few years, we will have another four-year-old doctor in the Huichun Pavilion!"

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Chu Ci didn't show anything on the surface, but felt a little sour in his heart.

He is obviously her little follower, and now he is determined to learn medical skills, but he doesn't learn from her, instead he learns from those ordinary doctors in the pharmacy.

She sighed faintly, took another look at Si'er, and then walked to the cubicle specially opened for her by the shopkeeper, which was similar to an expert's consultation room.

After all, her current status is different from before.

Not all patients have the opportunity to seek her treatment.

Instead, diseases that ordinary doctors can't see outside will be sent to her.

Therefore, it is not very tiring at the end of the day.

In the evening, Meng Jing came to pick her up.

In the carriage, he held her with one arm, put his other hand on her slightly protruding belly, and asked with concern, "How do you feel today, are you particularly tired?"

Chu Ci shook his head, "There are very few patients with difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and I have excellent medical skills. Except for two patients who need long-term acupuncture, the rest can be solved with a single prescription. It is not tiring."

Meng Jing nodded, "That's good. If you are really tired, remember to tell me."

Chu Ci nodded.

Meng Jing didn't speak anymore, but her eyes were a little quiet and complicated.

After Chu Ci took a few glances, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? What happened to Shang Shang today, I see that your complexion is not very good, my lord."

Hearing this, Meng Jing looked at her, sighed lowly, and said, "The eldest princess is not about the eldest princess, you have already seen it, haven't you?"

Chu Ci was startled for a moment, then nodded, frowned and said, "Concubine Ning is not easy."

Now Emperor Jingming's empress is the niece of Empress Dowager Ren.

The two aunts and nephews controlled the harem tightly. In the whole palace, apart from a few princesses, there were no other princes or princesses at all.

It's a posture that if Queen Ren doesn't give birth to the eldest son, the other concubines will never give birth to the eldest son.

Concubine Ning wanted to keep her little flesh and blood, so she could only raise the prince as a princess.

Otherwise, I am afraid that he will be murdered eight times by the queen in one day.

Meng Jing obviously understood this, he held Chu Ci tighter, and sighed, "Sometimes, this king's elder brother is really weak and incompetent!"

Chu Ci was silent.

A mother is strong, but a son is bound to be weaker.

Empress Dowager Ren is so strong, it's no wonder that Emperor Jing Ming can be strong!

Besides Meng Jing, isn't it because Concubine Yun is too weak that he is so strong?
This is called complementarity.

Seeing that Chu Ci didn't speak, Meng Jing didn't ask any more questions.

He just hugged her silently, letting her head rest on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Soon, the Chu residence arrived.

After Meng Jing helped Chu Ci get out of the car, she looked at the two words on the door plaque, suddenly smiled lowly, looked into her eyes dotingly and asked, "Tell me, does it look like this king is like this now?" Are you eating soft rice?"

Chu Ci didn't expect him to mention this. After thinking for a while, he tilted his head and said, "Then how about I replace the word Chu House with Meng House?"

"Forget it then!" Meng Jing shook her head again and again, leading her inside again, and said slowly, "It's better to call it Chu's house. If it's called Meng's house, it's inconvenient for you to chase away people when your mother and concubine come again!"

Chu Ci heard him mention Concubine Yun again, and couldn't help snorting coldly, "That's your concubine mother, I dare not drive her away!"

"Really?" Meng Jing looked at her sideways, "There are things in this world that you dare not do?"

Chu Ci sneered, and said, "Didn't I return the beating that time when your concubine mother beat me?"

Meng Jing was taken aback.

He knew that Chu Ci had always been brooding over that slap.

But that was his biological mother, and he really couldn't vent his anger for her, let alone pinch her waist, share the same hatred with her, and say to her, "You just fight back."

He could only keep shrinking his fists, but he assured her firmly in a hoarse voice, "There will never be a next time! There will never be a next time."

Seeing him like this, Chu Ci didn't know what to say, so he broke free from his embrace, and suddenly walked forward quickly...

That slap, in her heart, may never pass her life!
