Receive? Beast?
When they arrived at the East Courtyard, the housekeeper arranged for the two of them to stay. It was a large pavilion with two rooms on the left and one on the right, with an inner hall in the middle.
Isn't this the layout of a hotel suite?
Ji Yunshu was displeased and asked the housekeeper, "Are there any other rooms?"
The old butler was hunched over, wearing mourning clothes and a mourning hat on his head. As a result, it was impossible to see his appearance when he lowered his head.
He said respectfully, "Sir, in the entire East Courtyard, these two rooms are the cleanest. You are our honored guests, and the master has instructed us not to neglect you."
"But …"
Jing Rong said, "Teacher Ji will only be staying for one night. There's no need to go through so much trouble. I think this place is not bad. It's quiet, and you won't be disturbed when you rest at night." He then turned to the old steward. "You're no longer needed here.
"Yes, please have a good rest. I'll get the servants to come and serve you later."
With his head still lowered, the butler retreated out of the courtyard.
She couldn't help but say, "This isn't Prince Rong's estate. When Prince Rong gives orders to the Zhou family's servants, it's like he's in his own home."
Little fellow, your words are really funny!
Jing Rong smiled and placed his hands behind his back. He lifted his robe and strode into the room.
He didn't forget to say, "Wash your hands before entering the house. I can't stand the smell of corpses."
"…"
She really had eight lifetimes of bad luck. How did she end up with such a lowly highness!
She washed her hands in the basin outside the room and entered the room. She saw Jing Rong sitting in the inner hall, looking at her from top to bottom.
"Are you clean?"
Ji Yunshu was speechless. She resisted the urge to beat him up and spread her hands in front of him.
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes and looked at the water mark on her palm. It was sparkling and translucent.
The next moment, he reached out and grabbed her delicate wrist. The corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile. "They say that men's hands are rough and strong, but why is Teacher Ji's hand so soft and tender? Don't tell me you're wearing makeup? "
Ji Yunshu instinctively clenched her fists when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She twisted her wrists and struggled.
"Your Highness, please let go."
"I won't."
"It hurts."
"Where does it hurt?"
"My hand hurts."
"Even so, I won't loosen my grip."
He had made up his mind to tease her. The smirk on his face became more and more intense. He forcefully pulled her in front of him and used his other hand to pinch her slender shoulder.
He began to analyze in a methodical manner. "This skeleton is quite small. Could it be that he hasn't eaten since he was young? Or did you grow up with a bad temper? "
He was the living modern version of a comedian!
She was a head shorter than him, so her eyes were looking directly at his chest. The man's scorching heat rushed to the tip of her nose, causing her heart to clench.
She shuddered and pushed him away.
"Your Highness, don't go too far. I'm not a pushover."
Receive? Beast?
Jing Rong pondered over this word for a moment, then laughed in disdain. "You want to be called a beast? In this king's opinion, you're just a cat with sharp claws. You look good, but you're useless. "
"You …"
Ji Yunshu was so angry that she almost stomped her feet. She clenched her teeth so hard that they made a 'tsk tsk' sound.
However, she couldn't do anything to him.
Now, he finally understood a philosophy that had existed for thousands of years!
'I like it when you can't bear to see me, yet you can't get rid of me!'
Jing Rong saw that Ji Yunshu had a sullen expression on her face. She had a 'I won' expression on her face.
At this time, several maidservants suddenly came in with food, breaking the smokeless flame of gunpowder.
The leader of the maidservants saluted. "Master has ordered us to prepare dinner for the two sirs. If the food is not to your liking, we will go and prepare another meal for you."
The dishes were served one by one. There was fish and meat. It was much more sumptuous than the Ji family's meals.
Ji Yunshu's expression suddenly darkened. She asked the leader of the maidservants, "Miss, is Qiaoxin the only maidservant in your family?"
"No, there's also Suyun."
"Oh? Was she here just now? "
The maidservant shook her head. "Suyun had an urgent matter at home a few days ago, so she went back. I think she'll be back tonight. Does Teacher have any instructions?"
"No, you can go and rest. You don't need to wait here." Ji Yunshu waved her hand.
The maidservants bowed their heads and went out.
Ji Yunshu's expression sank. She was pondering something in her heart when she turned around and saw Jing Rong looking at her with a strange expression.
"Your Highness, not only do you have a hobby of grabbing people's wrists, but you also like to stare at others." Ji Yunshu's tone wasn't good.
