Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 42 The Grasshopper on a Rope

Hua Manman hides a box of broken jade ointment, which may be able to heal King Zhao's leg injury.

She originally wanted to keep the broken jade ointment for emergencies.

But the top priority now is to cure King Zhao.

Although she often complained that King Zhao was not a man, but seriously, King Zhao didn't really hurt her, and the two of them are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, one prosperous and the other damaged.

She couldn't just watch King Zhao grow weary of the world.

She had to find a way to help him regain the confidence to live!

The first step is to give Duanyu ointment to King Zhao to help him recover as soon as possible.

But before that, she had to make up a proper reason to prevent others from doubting the origin of the broken jade paste.

This is a question worthy of serious consideration.

Let her think it over again.

When the sun was about to set, the two concubines selected by Princess Ningyang for King Zhao were brought over.

Their surnames are Ruan and Kang respectively.

They were led to King Zhao and kowtowed to King Zhao.

Hua Manman happened to be there too, so he took the opportunity to take a good look at the two new concubines.

The Ruan family is delicate and cute, and the Kang family is gentle and docile, each with its own beauty.

Hua Manman even secretly looked forward to it, hoping that King Zhao would take a fancy to these two new concubines.

If he has someone he is interested in, he will have the motivation to continue living, so that he will not show such a dejected attitude that he has nothing to love.

However, Li Ji just glanced at the two concubines, and then looked away, showing a lack of interest.

Seeing this, Gao Shan knew that the two of them had failed to arouse the prince's interest, so he knew immediately.

It seems that Hua Ruren's position beside the prince is yet to be shaken by anyone.

Gao Shan asked respectfully: "My lord, how should I arrange these two aunts?"

Li Ji: "You figure it out."

Gao Shanchao cupped his hands to the two concubines, smiling authentically.

"You two aunts, please come with your servants."

The Ruan family and the Kang family could not help but look at King Zhao. They were both from civilian backgrounds, and being selected as King Zhao's concubines was indeed an honor for their ancestors.

It would be a lie to say that they have no thoughts at all.

Before they entered the mansion, they had fantasized countless times that they would marry Queen Zhao. What should they do to get King Zhao's favor?

But the reality is far more cruel than they expected.

King Zhao had no interest in them at all.

He didn't even want to look at them more than once.

It's only been like this on the first day, how will they live in the future?

Ruan hesitated again and again, but she was still unwilling.

She plucked up her courage and took out a sachet with body temperature from her bosom.

She held the sachet with her white hands, carefully held it in front of King Zhao, and said shyly.

"My lord, this is a sachet made by my concubine myself. Inside the sachet is a calming spice, which can help my lord sleep better at night. I hope my lord will not dislike my clumsy skills."

Seeing this, Kang, who was about to leave, stopped immediately.

In fact, she also prepared a gift for King Zhao.

As a commoner, they definitely can't bring out any valuable treasures, and the only things they can get out of are small items that they sew with their own hands.

What Kang prepared was a purse, and in the purse was an amulet that she personally went to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to ask for.

At this time, she hid the purse in her sleeve.

She was going to see the situation, and if King Zhao was willing to accept Ruan's bag, she would take the opportunity to send out the purse she made.

Hua Manman stood relatively close, and saw the sachet held in the palm of Ruan's hand at a glance.

It was a moon-white sachet with a pair of vivid mandarin ducks embroidered on it.

The purpose of this meeting ceremony couldn't be more obvious.
