I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her.

“Your eyes are really beautiful. How can you bear to cry with such beautiful eyes?” Ji Zhao smiled and comforted her. “Hurry up and wipe your tears.”

Zheng Rongrong clenched her skirt nervously. She looked at Ji Zhao’s face and finally carefully reached out to take the handkerchief. She said softly, “Thank you.”

“If you don’t mind, can you tell me why you’re crying?” Ji Zhao rubbed her little head and asked gently.

“Sister.” Zheng Rongrong lowered her head in disappointment. “Actually, I’m not beautiful at all. They all call me ugly behind my back…”

“Why?” Ji Zhao took the opportunity to sit cross-legged beside her. She supported her chin with one hand, her eyes filled with confusion. “You’re clearly very good-looking.”

“Sister, don’t… don’t be afraid…” For some reason, Zheng Rongrong suddenly mustered up her courage and slowly removed the black veil from her face.

After seeing the little girl’s face clearly, Ji Zhao finally understood what she meant.

Although this young lady had a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, she had a hare’s lips. No wonder she felt so inferior.

“Isn’t it very ugly?” Zheng Rongrong didn’t see any disdain in Ji Zhao’s eyes. She was a little surprised and curious.

Was the fairy sister not afraid of ugly people at all?

“I want to be friends with you. Can I?” Ji Zhao looked into her eyes and asked with a sincere smile.

“Friends?” Zheng Rongrong was a bit surprised, but also a bit happy. “Sister, aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Why should I be afraid of you?” Ji Zhao asked with a smile. “You’re not a ferocious beast.”

“But… but everyone thinks I’m ugly…” Zheng Rongrong lowered her head again, her tone filled with sorrow. “Besides, Brother was also implicated by me. Actually, there aren’t so many bumps on Brother’s face at all. He deliberately drew them on his own. He wanted to make me happy… It’s all my fault.”

The more Ji Zhao listened, the more puzzled she became.

After some interaction, Ji Zhao finally understood this young lady’s identity.

Zheng Rongrong, the legitimate daughter of the Governor of Yunchuan, was also the beloved daughter of the Zheng family.

There were also rumors about Miss Zheng’s ugly appearance in the streets.

Actually, Zheng Rongrong’s appearance was not ugly. She had a palm-sized oval face, clear and bright peach blossom eyes, and a high nose bridge. She could be said to be a little beauty!

The only flaw was that she had a hare’s lips.

The harelip is also medically known as cleft lip, a congenital malformation commonly seen in the oral and maxillary face, which is generally the result of incomplete fusion of facial structures in the fetus during development.

In fact, Zheng Rongrong’s harelip was not serious. Unfortunately, this was the Great Jing Empire, where technology was medieval. If it were in the modern era, her condition could be corrected through surgery.

“Rongrong, you’re not the ugly one.” Ji Zhao patted her head gently and said firmly, “Those who say that you’re ugly behind your back are the real ugly ones. Judging a person’s beauty and ugliness shouldn’t only be based on their appearance. Only the heart is truly beautiful!”

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Rongrong was at a loss. “A beautiful heart?”

“That’s right,” Ji Zhao explained with a smile. “No matter who it is, you shouldn’t judge a person’s beauty and ugliness from their appearance. There are thousands of people in this world, and everyone’s appearance is different! If you really admire a person, you should admire their inner qualities-”

“Thank you, Sister Ah Tao.” Zheng Rongrong seemed to understand a little, but at the same time, she was still confused. However, she was still very happy to make a new friend.

At the end of the day, Ji Zhao came to the private room on the second floor again.

At that moment, only First Madam Qin and Nanny Wu were left in the private room.

When Ji Zhao saw the mess on the ground, she could not help but feel a little lost.

“Is my food too bad?”

“No.” Madam Qin shook her head at her. “It has nothing to do with you.”

Following the direction of First Madam Qin’s finger, Ji Zhao found the banknote lying on the table.

“A hundred taels?”

“Madam Zheng was angry today and smashed this teacup,” First Madam Qin explained concisely. “You don’t have to worry too much. Although the marriage between the Zheng and Fang families hasn’t been settled, Madam Zheng is still quite satisfied with your culinary skills. Before she left, she even said that she would set up a table at Spring Breeze Pavilion in half a month to celebrate Miss Zheng’s ninth birthday.”

Ji Zhao was even more confused. “I thought Madam Zheng was dissatisfied with today’s banquet. I didn’t expect…”

“The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. The salt and pepper lamb chop you made suits Madam Zheng’s taste very well.” First Madam Qin smiled.

“Auntie, I will always remember your kindness.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully at her.

“If you really feel bad, make me a couple more pastries when you’re free,” First Madam Qin suggested with a smile before she left.

“Alright.” Ji Zhao immediately agreed. “Then I’ll pay a visit to your residence in two days.”

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on every inch of land in Yunchuan Prefecture, covering the entire city with a mysterious veil.

Peach Blossom Cottage.

When Shen Yao returned home, Ji Zhao had already fallen asleep on the table.

He deliberately slowed down and quietly walked to her side. Just as he was about to pick her up, Ji Zhao woke up.

“You’re back?” Ji Zhao rubbed her eyes and asked softly, “Have you finished your dinner?”

“I’ve eaten.” Shen Yao reached out and pulled her into his arms. His deep voice was filled with heartache. “Why aren’t you sleeping on the bed?”

“I wanted to read some medical books first and rest with you when you come back.” Ji Zhao yawned tiredly. “I didn’t expect to fall asleep.”

Shen Yao kissed her forehead gently and asked in a low voice, “Are you tired?”

“A little.” Ji Zhao gestured with her fingers and smiled faintly. “However, I’m more happy. Although Spring Breeze Pavilion has only been open for a few days, I’ve recovered a small portion of the cost. I earned a total of 130 taels from the banquet this afternoon!” “130 taels?” Shen Yao was a little surprised. “That much?”

“Although 100 taels is Madam Zheng’s apology gift, I calculated carefully and still profited.” Ji Zhao nestled in his arms and explained softly. In the end, she said, “Actually, Rongrong is really quite beautiful. However, the little girl feels especially inferior because she has a harelip, so I thought of flipping through the medical books to see if I could find a way to help her.”

“Do you like her that much?” Shen Yao did not expect his wife to be so fated with the young lady from the Zheng family.

“That’s right. I do like her quite a lot. I guess it’s fate?” Ji Zhao hugged his neck and replied with a smile, “Young Master Shen, don’t tell me you’re jealous of a little girl?”

“I’m not jealous.” Shen Yao suddenly carried her and stood up. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I just think that Zhaozhao and I’s daughter will be even cuter..”
