Chapter 294 Sun Wu Meets

But thinking that Qinglin was Zhu Zhanqi's close associate after all, he controlled his temper and let him in.

"I pay my respects to the Concubine." Qinglin said after coming in.

"I wonder if you have any instructions for me, His Highness?" Sun Ruoji said with a smile on his face.

"My Lady Concubine, His Highness said that it was too late for you to pay your respects to the Princess Consort today, so he asked you to copy the female ring ten times and give it to the Princess Consort." Qinglin relayed Zhu Zhanqi's words.

"What did you say?" Sun Ruoji's smile gradually disappeared. "Is this the order of His Highness? How is it possible... Are you lying to me?" Sun Ruoji couldn't believe it.

"To reply to the Concubine, this is what His Highness has just ordered. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask His Highness in person." Qinglin answered in a flat tone.

"Yes, I understand. You go and tell His Highness that I will start copying it now and send it to the Princess after I finish copying." Sun Ruoji said this with his back teeth gritted.

"Then I will take my leave first." After Qinglin delivered the message, she was ready to leave.

"Walk slowly."

"Ah, wuwu..." Suddenly, the child in Sun Ruoji's arms started crying. Sun Ruoji looked down and found that he was too angry just now and accidentally pinched his daughter's arm, causing the child to cry in pain.

"Your Majesty, please let go. You've hurt Sister Yao." The maid at the side quickly brought the child over.

The child was crying, tears streaming down his face like beads.

Sun Ruoji immediately apologized to her daughter, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yaoyao, does it hurt? Mother didn't mean it." Sun Ruoji said while blowing air into her daughter.

The child cried for a while, and finally stopped crying, but the crying was still intermittent.

Qinglin hadn't walked far when he naturally heard the child's crying. He stopped, frowned, and looked back.

Go back and report to Zhu Zhanqi.

Zhu Zhanqi also knew Sun Ruoji. After a pause, he asked, "What was the reaction of the Concubine?"

"This..." Qinglin didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you so hesitant?" Zhu Zhanqi was practicing calligraphy and didn't hear his reply. He looked up, put down his brush, and asked several questions in succession.

"In reply to Your Highness, the Concubine said that she would finish copying it and hand it over to the Princess Consort on time." Qinglin replied.

"Then why were you hesitating just now?" Zhu Zhanqi continued to ask.

"When I spoke to the Concubine, she agreed. But when I came out, I suddenly heard Sister Yao crying loudly, saying that the Concubine accidentally pinched the child." Qinglin recounted what he heard.

"What? She actually strangled the child?" Zhu Zhanqi felt so distressed when he heard that the child was strangled and cried. At the same time, he was also angry at Sun Ruoji's behavior.

"Your Majesty was just careless. It shouldn't be intentional." Qinglin said after thinking for a while.

"No matter what, you can't do this. You don't have to speak for her." Zhu Zhanqi stopped him. It was not like Sun was not going to do such a thing as taking her anger out on a child.

"Then Your Highness, I will withdraw first." Qinglin really didn't want to interfere in the affairs of these two people.

"You can go down." Even if he didn't say it, Zhu Zhanqi would let him go.

"The slaves retire."

After everyone left, Zhu Zhanqi opened the secret room and walked in.

"I thought it was a servant delivering something, but it turned out to be His Highness." Wu Yingyue heard the noise and came over to check. She originally thought it was a maid delivering something, but unexpectedly it was Zhu Zhanqi himself.

"You've been here for almost a year now. Your injuries have almost healed, and you look different from before. Unless you are very familiar with someone, they probably won't recognize you. It's time for you to meet people." Zhu Zhanqi said as he sat down in front of her.

"I have to thank Your Highness for this." Wu Yingyue said as she looked at her face which now only looked 30% similar to her past face.

"You just need to remember this kindness and repay it later." Zhu Zhanqi had put in so much effort, so it was definitely not his intention to just say thank you to her.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will never let you down. What kind of identity do you plan to give me?" Wu Yingyue asked.

"I have a concubine who was involved with the Crown Prince before. I want to arrange for you to serve her. She is good at everything except that she is a little impatient. You should be by her side to make her patient."

"I see. What's the name of your concubine?" Wu Yingyue thought for a long time, but she didn't expect that the concubine of Zhu Zhanqi that she had heard of was related to Zhu Zhanji.

"Her surname is Sun and her given name is Ruoji. She was originally the candidate for the Crown Princess by the Crown Princess's mother's family for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Later, due to some things, she became my concubine." Zhu Zhanqi finished his words in a few words.

"Wait, you said your concubine's surname is Sun, and it was prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Princess by her mother's family. Is she from the same hometown as the Crown Princess?" Wu Yingyue was more and more shocked as she listened. Isn't this the Empress Sun in history? Oh my god, I have traveled to some Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji didn't marry Empress Sun, but Zhu Zhanqi did. This is really lively.

"Yes, she is indeed from the same hometown as the Crown Princess's mother's family." Zhu Zhanqi nodded, then turned around and realized, "You are not acquainted with her, are you?"

"I don't know her, but I have heard of her reputation. I heard that she is quite famous in the local area, and she was also predicted to have the aura of a great noble." Some of Wu Yingyue's things were recited according to historical evaluations. The aura of a great noble was just a guess. However, Sun should have a good fate. After all, she was a queen all the way to the queen mother. How could her fate be bad? It should be okay to say so. After all, Hu Shanxiang was able to become the crown prince's concubine and later the queen. Wasn't it because the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that she had a phoenix fate? It was just temporary. Later, she was deposed for no reason, which was also bad luck.

Since Sun Ruoji married Zhu Zhanqi in this life, it is hard to say who will be able to take that position in this life. The more Wu Yingyue thought about it, the more excited she became. Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang, the two of them made her like this, she must take revenge, so they just wait.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Zhanqi was puzzled when he saw her sudden excitement.

"I am happy that I will soon have such a virtuous master." Wu Yingyue did not lie. She was indeed secretly delighted after learning the news about Sun Ruoji.

"In that case, I will arrange a meeting for you tomorrow. I hope you can supervise her well." He had heard that Sun Ruoji had a reputation for being virtuous. After getting along with her, he realized that the rumor was probably spread by the Sun family so that their daughter could marry into a good family. Later, he really met the mother of the current Crown Princess, Lady Pengcheng, in this way, so the reputation of being virtuous became more and more intense. And his true nature is just a...

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust." Wu Yingyue had never met Sun Ruoji, so she naturally didn't know what the real Sun Ruoji was like. All her impressions of her were probably based on historical evaluations. So now she still thought that Zhu Zhanqi's urging was a modest joke, but later she realized that this concubine was arrogant and a brainless vase. Apart from being pretty, everything else could be ignored.

The next day, Sun Ruoji was still copying the female precepts in her own courtyard when she heard that Zhu Zhanqi had sent someone over again.

"Your Majesty, His Highness has sent someone here. No matter what, you must go out and take a look. Otherwise, if His Highness finds out, he will accuse you of being rude." When Sun Ruoji heard that someone was coming, she had no intention of going out. Only after the maid beside her persuaded her in various ways did she come out reluctantly.

The one who came today was not Qinglin, but another eunuch of Zhu Zhanqi, otherwise Sun Ruoji would probably not be in a good mood.

"I wonder what instructions Your Highness has for me?" Sun Ruoji said unhappily.

"In reply to the Concubine, His Highness has chosen an aunt for you to serve you in the future. Look, I'll let my maid bring her to you." The eunuch said with a smile.

"Your Highness, what..." Sun Ruoji was about to ask what Zhu Zhanqi meant, but was immediately stopped by the person next to him.

Then he changed the topic and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Sun Ruoji had also suffered losses these few times, so he dared not speak carelessly now, otherwise, who knows what would happen if Zhu Zhanqi heard it.
