Chapter 242 My Ideal
Chapter 242 My Ideal
But she didn't, everything she had was earned through her own ability.
A trace of pain rose in his heart. He couldn't help but touch her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be sad, I'll take care of everything. From now on, you can treat me as your family. I will protect you and love you."
Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.
He didn't know when it started, but he liked to pay more and more attention to her every word and action, and wanted to get closer to her and watch her every smile and frown. He was happy when she was happy and sad when she was sad.
He felt more and more distressed for her, and wished he could immediately take her under his wing and prevent her from getting hurt in the slightest.
Jian Yue was stunned by his words, and then her cheeks became hot.
Ji Yunzhong's words were a bit too enthusiastic, and she couldn't handle it!
Although there were some strange waves in her heart, he was a noble prince, how could he be attracted to a commoner like her who didn't even have any family. It was better not to be so sentimental, lest she make a fool of herself.
So, he cleared his throat uncomfortably and changed the subject: "Your Highness has been helping me a lot, and I am very grateful. Well, I want to go see the emperor for a follow-up visit."
Ji Yunzhong smiled helplessly: "Father hasn't left the court yet, you have to wait a while. Why don't you go out for a walk and visit the Imperial Garden. There are quite a few flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden now."
Jian Yue thought about it and nodded.
Now that I have the opportunity to live in the palace, I naturally want to visit the palace.
The two of them left the side hall together, followed by Fu Yun and Fu Lang.
As expected of an imperial palace, there were beautiful views everywhere. Jian Yue admired the scenery as she walked, and the palace maids she met would salute the two of them.
Jian Yue couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder everyone wants that position. The imperial palace is a place of splendor! It's a place where beauties from all over the world gather."
Her voice was low, but Ji Yunzhong still heard it and couldn't help laughing: "Are you envious of the person sitting in that position?"
Jian Yue waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, it's lonely at the top. It's better to be free. I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want. Your Highness, do you know what my ideal is?"
"What is it?" Ji Yunzhong asked following her words.
"My ideal is to sleep until I wake up naturally every day, to have a spacious and bright house, a few acres of land, to grow vegetables and flowers, raise chickens and ducks, and be an idle farmer."
Ji Yunzhong had a surprised expression on his face: "If a genius like you has no ideals, then shouldn't a playboy like me live in seclusion in the mountains?"
Jian Yue smiled and shook her finger: "Your Highness, as a member of the royal family, you have unshirkable responsibilities on your shoulders. Don't even think about living in seclusion in the mountains. You should just stay in your position and make a difference!"
Ji Yun frowned: "I don't want to shine, I also like to be an idle pastoral man, what should I do?"
Jian Yue shook her head: "Cold."
Ji Yunzhong frowned even more tightly.
It seemed that he had to negotiate terms with the prince in advance. Otherwise, it would be bad if he was tied to work for him in the end.
The two entered the Imperial Garden, and Jian Yue was immediately fascinated by its scenery.
Every plant and tree in the Imperial Garden is a fine product, and many species are rare plants that cannot be seen outside.
Jian Yue has been dealing with medicinal herbs since she was a child, and she loves flowers and plants from the bottom of her heart. Seeing so many plants that she had never seen before, her eyes lit up with curiosity.
But after a while, the mood was no longer good.
There were many concubines playing in the imperial garden. Some came over to greet the two, while others looked at them from a distance and pointed.
These people are relatively reserved, and Jian Yue doesn't need to pay attention to them. But this is not the case when she meets Concubine Rong and Concubine Wen.
“Oh my! Isn’t this our little miracle doctor Princess Mingyue? Princess Mingyue has made great contributions in saving the emperor. Look, even when she goes out for a walk, she has to be accompanied by the Fifth Prince himself. No one else is so arrogant.” Concubine Rong said sourly. The other concubines of lower rank lowered their heads slightly and dared not say a word.
They dared not offend Concubine Rong, let alone the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince had the support of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince had made great contributions in saving the Emperor, so the Emperor directly allowed the Crown Prince to participate in state affairs. Everyone could see the changes clearly.
Concubine Wen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "Princess Mingyue is really good at detoxification, but she hasn't learned the etiquette and rules very well. When she goes out, she doesn't care about the distinction between men and women. She is like a child of the rivers and lakes, not fussy about details and acts boldly."
The word "bold" is not a good word when used to describe an unmarried woman.
Ji Yunzhong's face darkened immediately: "Princess Mingyue fainted for two days because of saving my father. Now she is being bullied for nothing when she goes out for a walk. I want to ask my father if the harem has been brewing thousand-year-old vinegar, and even the imperial garden is filled with sour smell."
Rong·Wen·Old Vinegar·Guifei:……
The Fifth Prince's words are becoming more and more vicious, and he doesn't even use any curse words when he insults people.
Jian Yue turned around and left: "Let's go! Someone farted here, the air is bad."
Concubine Rong & Concubine Wen: ...
The two men's faces turned purple with anger, but before they could flare up, Jian Yue and the other person had already walked a long way away.
You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. Fighting with concubines in the palace is not giving face to the emperor. No matter how bad the concubines are, they are still the emperor's concubines. The emperor can punish and kill them, but others cannot.
After the last experience, Jian Yue knew that the emperor was a protective person and his majesty would not be challenged. Therefore, she would endure it as much as she could in the palace.
"Ayue, don't take their words to heart. They can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Ji Yunzhong comforted Jian Yue.
Jian Yue chuckled and nodded, "Yes, they are like dogs that can't spit out ivory. I don't care what they say. Although rumors are like sharp knives that can kill people and cut their hearts, I don't care. I am just uneducated and don't know etiquette, righteousness, integrity, etc. So what? If you have the guts, come to me and tell me, I will give them a slap in the face."
Ji Yunzhong gave a thumbs up in appreciation: "Ayue is still courageous. I agree."
Jian Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your Highness calls me Mingyue one moment and Ayue the next. I don't think either one is appropriate."
Ji Yunzhong shook his head: "I will call you Mingyue in front of others, and Ayue behind others. I think it is quite appropriate. Your objection is useless."
Jian Yue:……
His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is becoming more and more willful!
The two of them strolled back to the side hall and waited for a while. After the emperor left the court, Jian Yue went to see the emperor for a follow-up examination.
Doctor Mao was also there. He adjusted the prescription and wrote a recipe for the emperor to take care of his body.
Emperor Jingzhen did not pursue the fault of Doctor Mao because of Jian Yue's contribution in saving the emperor, and also allowed Doctor Mao to leave the palace with Jian Yue.
Emperor Jingzhen was very dissatisfied with Ji Yunzhong who did nothing all day. After he said a few words, Ji Yunzhong spread his hands and said, "I am just a playboy. What I am best at is eating, drinking and having fun. What can your father expect me to do?"
Emperor Jingzhen glared at him with disappointment.
Ji Yunzhong also glared back at Emperor Jingzhen in dissatisfaction. Neither the father nor the son gave in, competing to see who could glare the most.
Jian Yue on the side...
