Chapter 99: CH 99

Ji Yu Qing's lips twitched, she wasn't mistaken right, the hungry person wasn't actually angry?

Hold on...Ji Ling Xue that fool told her to pay the bill, her monthly expenses had been used to buy jewellery, what's more the monthly expense this month was especially little, how did she have the spare money to pay for the meal?

"Wait, older sister!" Ji Yu Qing hurriedly gave chase downstairs clutching her skirt, perhaps because Ji Ling Xue was born in the year of the rabbit, that's why in a moment, she had already disappeared, Ji Yu Qing looked at the restaurant workers surrounding her in embarrassment.

Xiao Si rubbed his arms like he was prepared to beat someone up, "Female customer, the total is six hundred silvers, a discount has already been given..."

Ji Yu Qing's little legs trembled, "What...how can it be so expensive, it's only ten dishes, it actually costs six hundred silvers, you're ripping me off right?"

Xiao Si rubbed his nose: If we don't rip off such a cash cow who should we rip off, this restaurant has just opened, of course a lucky amount needs to be received.

Ji Yu Qing gave Zi Ye a look, hinting for her to quickly go and call Ji Ling Xue back, she was currently in charge of the account books so she must have brought money with her.

Zi Ye nodded, she had just taken a step wanting to leave, the next moment the door was blocked by several workers, clearly if they didn't pay they wouldn't let them go.

Xiao Si once again politely said: "This female customer, you can't tell me you didn't bring money right?"

A drop of cold sweat slid down Ji Yu Qing's forehead, reaching inside her chest she searched around, very unwillingly she handed over the embroidered purse she carried around.

Xiao Si took it, opened the purse pouring it onto a table to the side and began counting, "There's only eighty silvers..." Xiao Si said then extended his palm to Ji Yu Qing.

Ji Yu Qing pointed in the direction of the door: "My older sister is outside, send someone out, she will give you money."

Xiao Si glanced in amusement at Ji Yu Qing who had broken out in cold sweat, waving his hand he sent a worker outside in an act, the next moment the worker came running back in, "The woman outside said she also didn't bring money out with her today, she said to make this customer write a note, for us to ask for the money from Prince Chen's residence."

Ji Yu Qing watched Xiao Si place a note in front of her, cursing Ji Ling Xue on the inside for not bringing money out and embarrassing her, she could only face the reality and picked up the brush writing her name, only then did she lift her skirt up and run out onto the carriage.

Inside the carriage a low table was placed in front of Ji Ling Xue, some pastries and snacks were placed on it, Ji Yu Qing obviously aimed her belly full of anger at Ji Ling Xue, "Didn't you say you didn't bring money? How come there are such good foods in the carriage?"

Ji Ling Xue picked up a piece of flaky chicken pastry putting it in her mouth she chewed and said: "Oh, Mo Xiang brought these along, she just remembered, hehe, didn't younger sister have breakfast already, why are you so angry?"

Ji Yu Qing: You're not the one who was embarrassed, of course you wouldn't be angry.

Ji Yu Qing marked this down in her heart, turning her head she looked out of the window.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the bottom of the mountain of the marriage temple, leaving the driver behind to look after the carriage, Ji Ling Xue climbed the mountain with Ji Yu Qing and the two maids, today the sun was shining brightly, the scenery in the mountain was beautiful, only Ji Yu Qing couldn't enjoy it with her belly full of anger.

The path up to the top of the mountain was maintained by the temple, to make it convenient for people to walk, but the path still had quite a lot of overgrown thorny vines, Ji Yu Qing looked at them, a plan came to her.

Ji Yu Qing suddenly cried out and crouched down, "Imperial concubine, are you alright?" Zi Ye hurried to help Ji Yu Qing.

In front Ji Yu Qing stopped turning her head to look behind her, "What's wrong younger sister?"

They were only halfway up the path, something couldn't have happened right?

Ji Yu Qing sat to the side on a rock with the help of Zi Ye, her hand rubbing her ankle, her expression showing some pain, "Older sister, my ankle is a little strained, I need to rest a little, you and Mo Xiang should wait for me at the top of the mountain."

Zi Ye helped rub Ji Yu Qing's ankle, "Imperial concubine, this servant has learned some simple medical knowledge before, this servant will help you massage and it won't be painful very soon."

Upon seeing this Ji Ling Xue said: "Fine, younger sister, take a rest, I'll go up first." Finished speaking she continued up the mountain with Mo Xiang.

After some distance, Mo Xiang turned her head to glance at the direction Ji Yu Qing was in, she felt a little uneasy, imperial concubine has always been calculating against her princess, she wondered what she was planning this time.

Ji Ling Xue turned her head, seeing Mo Xiang had stopped walking she said, "Let's go, don't worry, nothing will happen to that younger sister of mine, even though this place is somewhat desolate, but there aren't any other people, hoodlums and ruffians wouldn't cause trouble on religious grounds."

Mo Xiang helplessly looked at Ji Ling Xue, "My princess, when is this servant worried about the imperial concubine's safety, I'm only worried about you..."

Ji Ling Xue shrugged her shoulders looking indifferent, "Ru Ge is secretly protecting us, nothing will happen, let's go."

Mo Xiang raised her head to look at the tall old trees, but couldn't see where Ru Ge was hidden, curling her lips she hurried after Ji Ling Xue.

On the other side, Ji Yu Qing used her wide sleeves to fan herself, it was a warm winter day, it was very hot with some movement.

Zi Ye's hands very nimbly massaged Ji Yu Qing's ankle from time to time asking her if it felt alright, JI Yu Qing had pretended to hurt her ankle, so she answered yes, suddenly she said, "Zi Ye, go take a handkerchief and pick some of the thorns from those vines."

Zi Ye nodded, she was only a servant, she could only obey what her mistress wanted her to do, never asking why.

JI Yu Qing used her sleeve to fan herself while watching Zi Ye carry out the task, occasionally two or three people walked by, looking at them with curiosity.

JI Yu Qing was very arrogant, she turned to urge Zi Ye, "Hurry up, it's taking you so long to do something so simple, it's almost dark."

Zi Ye pursed her lips without speaking, speeding up her actions, the back of her hands were stung by the green thorns a few times.

A while later, the master and servant continued on their way, Zi Ye wrapped the thorns she ha picked in several layers of handkerchief, then placed them in her sleeves.

The two of them had just taken a few steps, a few men were coming down the mountain, they stepped to the side to let them pass. The men on passing Ji Yu Qing looked at her a couple of times, one of them bumped into Ji Yu Qing's arm, then left with a smile.

Ji Yu Qing frowned, with an attitude of avoiding unnecessary trouble she didn't pursue the matter, turning around she continued on her way.

Ji Yu Qing was already sweating like rain when she arrived at the entrance of the marriage temple, a piece of paper was in her hand, a sentence was written on it: "See you at the Wuli pavilion at the back of the temple."

Ji Yu Qing was startled, looking left and right, but she didn't see anyone suspicious, her heart settled a little.

Zi Ye passed her a handkerchief, "Mistress, are you alright?"

Ji Yu Qing hid the slip of paper, shaking her head she said: "I'm fine, let's go find my older sister."

Ji Ling Xue was currently in the Guanyin hall, prayers for a child were made to the Guanyin, on the shoulder and leg of the Guanyin were child spirits, round faced, snow white and adorable. 

Ji Ling Xue had her head bent considering the mercy of Guanyin, listening to a young woman kneeling in front of her on the praying mat as she uttered prayers, her lips couldn't help twitch.

At this moment Mo Xiang quickly walked to Ji Ling Xue's side whispering in her ear: "Princess, imperial concubine has gone behind the temple..."

Ji Ling Xue's eyes flashed, intuition told her there was a good play to watch!

Ji Ling Xue made a gesture, the two of them hurried out of the Guanyin hall and headed down the path to the rear garden, they had come to the temple first to get to know the temple surroundings, thus they easily found their way.

After Ji Yu Qing sent Zi Ye to find Ji Ling Xue, carrying the parcel of freshly plucked green thorns she left the temple's rear garden, following the mountain road to Wuli pavilion. The mountain breeze were vicious, Ji Yu Qing's clothes fluttered about. 

Inside the Wuli pavilion stood a man in a black cloak, seeing Ji Yu Qing, he extended his hand, "Where's what I want?" His voice was ice-cold, carrying an irrefutable pressure.

Ji Yu Qing said: "I came here in a rush today, I've already obtained it, but didn't bring it, business always relies on good faith, I've gotten what you want, then what about your promise?"

The man in the black cloak looked at the cautious Ji Yu Qing giving a cold snort, "Once I get it, the promise will obviously be honoured, you haven't given me it so don't bargain with me."

Ji Ling Xue was hidden behind a tree with Mo Xiang having followed Ji Yu Qing, they watched from a distance as Ji Yu Qing and a mysterious man in a black cloak discuss something in the pavilion.

They had thought it was an adultery display, in the end they had been too imaginative, Ji Ling Xue sighed, she had thought Ji Yu Qing genuinely liked Xiao Yi Chen, it wasn't expected that she would have a secret.

Mo Xiang made a gesture at Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue raised an eyebrow, asking quietly: "What, can you hear what they're saying?" Goodness gracious, does she have preternaturally good hearing?  

Mo Xiang shook her head, "This servant has studied lipreading, I know what imperial concubine said just now, but that man in black...the angle he's standing at is too tricky, I simply can't read his lips."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Then what did Ji Yu Qing say?"

Mo Xiang repeated: "I came here in a rush today, I've already obtained it, but didn't bring it, business always relies on good faith, I've gotten what you want, then what about your promise? What if I gave you what you want, but you don't honour your promise, wouldn't I suffer a loss, do you know how much of a risk I'm taking..."

Ji Ling Xue frowned, what did Ji Yu Qing have? She was a little curious...

Another day she shall go to Ji Yu Qing's house to see what good thing she had that she didn't have. 

Ji Ling Xue came back to her senses, that's when she noticed her thoughts had wandered for a while, she lifted her head in the direction of the pavilion, it was empty as anything, the people had already disappeared without a trace, she looked at Mo Xiang, she was looking at her in high spirits.

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her cheeks, was there something stuck on her face, she coughed: "When did they leave?"

Mo Xiang replied: "When princess's thoughts wandered, princess don't worry, they didn't notice us."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, she stood up patting the dust from her body, "Let's go, we ought to head back..." She paused, pointing at the wildflower which had bloomed on the tree in front of her, "Mo Xiang, that flower looks nice, we should pick some."

Mo Xiang agreed, stepping forward she broke off several wildflowers, hurriedly catching up to Ji Ling Xue who had walked ahead.

Just as they crossed over the threshold of the temple they bumped into an anxious as if she had been looking for a long time, Ji Yu Qing, "Older sister, where did you go, I looked for you for so long!"

Mo Xiang said: "Our princess waited for imperial concubine in the temple for almost half a day, she got too bored of waiting and went out to the near by mountain top for a walk, look, these recently blossomed wildflowers were just plucked, aren't they very nice?"

Ji Yu Qing paled, she noticed near the pavilion she was just at there were a lot of flowers Mo Xiang held in her hands, could it be....
