Chapter 418 Imitation Jade (2)

……

There was a garden in the Plum Blossom Garden, which had been unattended for many years and had become overgrown with weeds. After Yun Qi moved in, he bought a lot of medicinal seedlings and planted them in the garden, tending to them carefully every day. As winter passed and spring came, the tender green branches and leaves broke through the soil and grew very well.

He dug a few basil plants from the garden and planted them in pots on the balcony inside the house, patiently trimming the branches and leaves.

"Why hasn't Your Highness come in the past two days? Is he busy with other things?"

Ever since his eyesight recovered, Her Royal Highness the Princess would come to Plum Blossom Garden to sit when she had nothing to do. But there has been no movement in the past two days, and it is difficult to even hear news about her.

Kong looked at his son and said hesitantly, "Two days ago, the young master of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan came to visit our mansion..."

Snapped--

The pruning shears snapped into place, making a crisp sound.

Kong Jianyunqi was distraught and full of regret. He didn't dare to tell the young master about this matter for the past two days because he was afraid that the young master would be sad!
The relationship between His Highness and the Young Master had finally eased a little, but unexpectedly, the young master of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan came again. Ever since Yun Rong came, His Highness has been staying with him all day and has never come to the backyard again. Even the Young Master has been left out.

Yun Qi bent down, picked up the scissors on the ground, and went to the medicine garden outside.

"Where is His Highness now?"

"Yi, Yiyun Palace."

Sora's voice became a little quieter.

Her Royal Highness the Princess usually goes to Yiyun Palace when she has a rest. The name of this palace is self-explanatory. It was given by Her Royal Highness when she was thinking about Master Yiyun Rong every day... Kong looked at his own master again and saw that there was no big emotional fluctuation on his face. He still looked calm and gentle, but there seemed to be a little more coldness in his eyebrows.

Yun Qi picked some warm herbs, boiled a bowl of nourishing soup, and personally brought it to Yiyun Palace.

Here, Sang Luo was discussing something with Yun Rongzheng, and they were talking and laughing.

When Yun Qi came over and saw this scene, he suddenly felt an indescribable irritation in his heart, and his chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable. He restrained the emotions in his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. I heard from Kong that you cooked a bowl of nourishing soup in the palace. I wonder if it suits Your Highness's appetite."

Sang Luo was surprised, "You are so thoughtful, thank you Qi."

Yun Qi smiled bitterly, "I am His Highness's concubine, and these are my responsibilities. It's just that I was weak before, so it was inconvenient." He added, "Your Highness is usually too busy to eat. If Your Highness doesn't mind, I can come and serve you in person in the future."

"No need, you are my concubine after all. I didn't marry you to serve me. Leave these chores to the servants." Sang Luo was reluctant to tire him out.

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." Yun Qi's smile became more sincere. He walked forward and brought the warm medicine to Sang Luo, and said considerately and gently, "It just happened to be not so hot on the way here. Your Highness, drink it while it's hot. It's good for your health."

Yun Rong looked at the two people getting along harmoniously, and the smile in his eyes faded a little. He also lowered his eyes to glance at the bowl of medicine, "Oh? Wan'er is healthy and well. Drinking too much of these medicines will be bad for your health."

Yun Qi retorted, "Your Highness doesn't seem to have any major problems with her health, but I've been with her day and night for so long, so I know her physical condition best. She has a strong liver fire and a cold body. If she doesn't take supplements sooner or later, she'll have problems." He looked at Sang Luo again, "This is what I prepared specially for you based on your physical condition."

Yun Rong was choked and speechless. After all, he was not the princess's partner, so he naturally had no right to speak.

However, Yun Qi's deliberate mention of the concubine's identity made Yun Rong feel unhappy. He was the first one to meet the princess, but Yun Qi's words excluded him as an outsider. He was not as considerate of the princess's health as a latecomer...

After Sang Luo took the medicine and swallowed it, he felt a warm current flowing into his stomach, and then spreading to his limbs and bones. His body was warm and comfortable, and his face was healthy and rosy. "From now on, every noon and evening, I will prepare medicine for your highness. If your highness is too busy to go to Meihuawu, it's okay. I will bring the medicine to your highness."

Sang Luo smiled and said, "Thank you Qi! You are so kind to me!"

Yun Qi smiled shyly and said, "It is the greatest honor of my life to serve Your Highness."

Yun Rong, who was standing by, clenched the teacup in his hand, his face slightly gloomy.

In the past, the princess would only smile at him like this, but she didn't expect that she would fall in love with someone else so quickly. However, Yun Qi was just a disfigured man and was no match for him.

"It seems that Wan'er and Xiaoqi have a very good relationship. The rumors I heard before were all groundless." Yun Rong smiled.

Princess Ji Wan and Yun Rong have known each other for many years, so she was the one who could detect her transformation the most. Sang Luo said hurriedly, "Yun Qi is your brother after all, so I naturally have to take care of him. I was young and ignorant at the time, so I did some wrong things."

Yun Rong stared at her for a long time, and finally sighed, "Wan'er has really grown up."

"Haha, everyone changes."

"I still have some things to do, so I'll leave you first." Yun Rong chatted for a while and then said goodbye.

"What are you going to do, brother?" Yun Qi sat beside Sang Luo, gently mixing the spices.

The bluish-white mist curled up from the exquisite incense burner, which seemed to have the effect of clearing the mind and soothing the spirit. Sang Luo felt much more relaxed after smelling it.

"He said something happened within the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan that he needed to resolve."

"Does Your Highness know what exactly happened in the clan?"

"This..." Sang Luo really didn't know, "Yun Rong didn't tell me in detail."

Yun Qi smiled, "He came to your house to look for you this time. Isn't he going to ask you for some money and leave again?"

Sang Luo stared at him, "How do you know?"

Yun Qi said slowly, "This is not the first time that my brother has done this. He has been on and off with Your Highness over the years, and has taken a lot of money from you. The total is almost equal to half of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe's treasury."

Sang Luo was speechless.

Yun Qi looked at her again and said seriously, "Your Highness, I have no intention of interfering with how you manage your subordinates' money and property, but there is one thing I need to remind Your Highness, lest Your Highness end up with nothing."

"……you say."

"My brother is nominally the child of the clan leader and his wife, but he is not his wife's biological child after all. His wife has always hoped to have a biological son to inherit the clan property, and secretly did not allow the clan leader to hand over the real power to him. The position of young master is meaningless, just an empty title without power or wealth." Yun Qi's voice was filled with some mockery, "And not long ago, the clan leader's wife became pregnant."

"..."

"If I were your brother, I would be extremely anxious and struggling to find a way out. The princess's financial resources would be the biggest help in recruiting troops and winning the hearts of the people."
