I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

“Sister All Tao, you look ill. Are you feeling unwell?” Zheng Rongrong looked at Ji Zhao and asked with concern.

“Thank you for your concern, Rongrong, but I’m fine.” Ji Zhao forced a smile and explained in a low voice, “I’ve been having some strange nightmares these past two days, so I didn’t rest well. Don’t worry.”

“Sister Ah Tao, did my eldest brother scare you?” Zheng Rongrong suddenly looked into her eyes and whispered, “Actually, I’m also very afraid of my eldest brother… When I was very young, Second Brother bought me a white cat. That cat was very obedient, but one day, the cat disappeared.”

“Second Brother said that the cat didn’t want to be locked in a cage, so it ran away. But actually, 1 know that the cat was killed by Big Brother…” Zheng Rongrong lowered her eyes slightly, and her tone was even tainted with a strong sense of sadness. “Actually, the cat was especially obedient. One day, it accidentally tore Big Brother’s clothes, and then the cat disappeared…”

Zheng Rongrong had heard her servants talking about it. They all said that her eldest brother had choke the cat to death. There were even people who saw her eldest brother throw the cat into the well.

It was just that Zheng Rongrong didn’t dare to tell anyone about this.

Ji Zhao did not expect Zheng Li to have such a ruthless side!

“But Sister All Tao, you don’t have to be too afraid. I’ve already told Mother that the banquet will be held at Spring Breeze Restaurant on my birthday. At that time, I’ll get my mother to invite some Madams who are close to her!” Zheng Rongrong rested her chin on her hands as she pondered. Then, she smiled and said, “I remember now. Mother said that she’ll support you! I also want to support Sister Ah Tao!”

Ji Zhao was amused by such an innocent and cute Zheng Rongrong.

“Sure!” Ji Zhao smiled and rubbed her little head. “Then I’ll thank Rongrong!”

“Then what kind of dishes does Rongrong like to eat?” Ji Zhao looked into Zheng Rongrong’s eyes and asked gently.

“I like sweet food,” Zheng Rongrong said impatiently. Then, she shook her head. “Forget it. It’s better not to be sweet. Mother said that eating too much sweet food will make you fat.”

Ji Zhao smiled faintly as she learned Zheng Rongrong’s eating habits and preferences in detail.

When it was almost noon, Ji Zhao wanted to cook personally, but Shen Yao stopped her.

“I’ve already asked Brother Qin to buy roasted chicken. I’ll cook a few more side dishes later,” Shen Yao smiled gently at her and said firmly.

“Are you sure you don’t want my help?”

Shen Yao shook his head, his gentle eyes filled with love. “Zhaozhao, you need to rest now.”

Ji Zhao could only nod obediently and turn around to return to the central room.

At that moment, Zheng Rongrong and Xiao Jiu were staring at each other. The two of them sat opposite each other at a table and did not say a word.

When Ji Zhao walked in, she could feel the awkwardness in the atmosphere.

She thought about it and immediately asked, “Do the two of you know how to kick shuttlecocks?”

“A shuttlecock?” Zheng Rongrong was a little confused. “What’s a shuttlecock, Sister All Tao?”

Xiao Jiu also looked confused.

Ji Zhao was a little surprised. The Great Jing Dynasty didn’t kick shuttlecocks?

“After lunch, I’ll bring you guys to make shuttlecocks!” Ji Zhao said with a smile.

An hour later, Shen Yao looked at the three dishes and soup on the table that had been swept clean. He was a little surprised. “Zhaozhao, did everyone like the lunch I made today?”

“Actually, other than the roasted chicken 1 bought, these dishes taste very ordinary,” Qin Minghong said very sincerely. “It’s just that we all want to know what shuttlecocks are, so we ate them so quickly.”

“Ahem.” Ji Zhao suppressed her laughter and looked at Shen Yao. She comforted him gently, “Shen Yao, actually, I think the dishes you made are very delicious.”

“Is Zhaozhao coaxing me?”

“That’s not true!” Ji Zhao immediately shook her head and said seriously, “Every word comes from the bottom of my heart.”

“My Zhaozhao is so nice.”

Looking at the two of them looking at each other lovingly, Qin Minghong suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. “Can the two of you stop looking at each other so affectionately?”

“Be careful, there are two little fellows here!”

Just as Qin Minghong was about to point at Zheng Rongrong and Xiao Jiu, he realized that the two little fellows had obediently covered their eyes—

“Shen Yao, do we have goose feathers and chicken feathers at home?” After Ji Zhao found a needle, thread, and a small piece of red cloth from the house, she walked to Shen Yao and asked softly.

“No.” Shen Yao shook his head. “But we’ll have some soon. Zhaozhao, wait for me for a moment.”

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yao brought back some goose feathers and chicken feathers.

Ji Zhao immediately picked up the scissors and cut the spine on the goose feather into a cross-shaped opening. Then, she used a needle and thread to sew it tightly. Then, she inserted seven or eight chicken feathers into the top of the uncut goose feather spine and wrapped some colorful threads around the outer layer to make it firm.

“Is this a shuttlecock?” Zheng Rongrong stared at Ji Zhao intently and exclaimed, “Sister All Tao, why are you so cool?”

“There’s something even more cool.” Ji Zhao looked up and smiled brightly at her. “Don’t blink!”

Ji Zhao threw the shuttlecock in her hand and raised her left foot to firmly hook the shuttlecock. After kicking it seven or eight times in a row, she began to spin around and kick the shuttlecock in front of her in various patterns.

“Rongrong, do you want to give it a try?” Seeing the two little fellows’ shocked expressions, Ji Zhao smiled and immediately handed the shuttlecock to Zheng Rongrong. “Do you want to give it a try?”

Zheng Rongrong’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately took the shuttlecock. However, she only kicked it three times before it fell to the ground.

“Sister Ah Tao, I… I can’t do it… I don’t know how…” Zheng Rongrong said in a defeated tone.

“Silly Rongrong, you’re already very good at kicking shuttlecocks for the first time. Besides, you need to practice kicking shuttlecocks more!” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and placed the shuttlecock in her hand. “Rongrong, thank you for coming to see me today. Take this shuttlecock as my thank-you gift!”

“Thank you, Sister Ah Tao!”

Zheng Rongrong smiled happily.

When Qin Minghong saw this scene from afar, he could not help but sigh. “Our Ah Tao is really loved by everyone. The beloved daughter of the Zheng family has always felt inferior since she was young. 1 didn’t expect her to smile so happily in front of Ah Tao.”

“Zhaozhao is the best.” Shen Yao glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “But she belongs to me alone. Brother Qin, you have to be more careful when you speak.”

“You’re really a vinegar jar!” Qin Minghong waved the folding fan in his hand and pointed at the two words on it: free spirited. He said seriously, “You need to learn this.”

Shen Yao hit him on the back of the head. “It’s getting late. Zhaozhao needs more rest. Brother Qin, take care!”

“Are you really going to Mi Mountain?” Before Qin Minghong left, he reminded him solemnly, “If you really want to go, let me know.. I’ll go with you!”
