Chapter 120: Sports Clothes, Badminton

"This father and daughter... haha... they do look quite alike." The Emperor couldn't help but laugh.

If Ji Yingying were here, she would definitely retort: ​​"Of course, otherwise how could they be father and daughter?"

Without Ji Yingying present, even Mu Kaiji found the morning court session much more boring. He was just about to slack off when the Emperor summoned him.

"I've heard that you're a master detective from that world, Mu Aiqing?"

Mu Kaiji quickly waved his hand: "No, it's all just big sister bragging. I'm not even a hair in our world."

Why do you call Ji San "elder sister"?

"She's older than me."

"Excuse me, do you know how big she is in that world?"

"Hmm, it should be in the thirties."

"Has she been betrothed to someone?" The Emperor became interested.

"It should not be."

"What?" The ministers were all shocked. She hadn't even been betrothed yet, and she was already over thirty, the age of a grandmother.

"Are you surprised?"

"It's quite surprising. Do you know why she doesn't get married?"

"It's probably for her career. From what I heard, she seems to be a career-oriented person. It's also possible that she doesn't have the money to get married, or that she doesn't have the inclination to get married."

Don't your parents care?

"I can manage, but I can't interfere, because we advocate freedom of marriage and free love. Some people date for seven or eight years without getting married. After all, there are too many things to deal with when getting married, and you can easily become enemies. As for why my older sister isn't getting married, I don't know either. I won't interfere too much with other people's affairs."

Mu Kaiji said everything he could, but he truly didn't know what kind of person Ji Yingying was in modern times.

However, judging from her carefree and humorous thoughts, she must be a free spirit who does whatever she wants.

After the morning court session ended, the Emperor, who rarely left the palace, took a stroll in the streets before heading directly to the Ji residence.

At this moment, Ji Yingying was playing badminton with Ji Jiaming. She invented it when she was seven years old. At that time, she was a little anxious because she was afraid that she would not grow tall and often stayed up late. So she made a badminton set and played with them.

"Big brother, if you lose, you have to buy me roast duck."

“Your older brother is short of money, but you’ve made some, so you can buy one for him.”

The two chatted as they played, still wearing sportswear. These were matching outfits she had specially made for the whole family, all in modern Li-Ning styles.

This will make playing badminton much easier and more comfortable.

"What kind of older brother would cheat his younger sister? Second brother, say something!" Ji Jiayu was sitting to the side drinking tea, and it was rare for Ji Yingying to bring out such a delicious Da Hong Pao tea.

He naturally wouldn't let it go, while Ji Cailiang and Fang Yulan were grilling meat on the side.

The family is having a family outing at home.

"If you ask me, Second Brother, you should each buy me one. I did buy one for you yesterday."

"How dare you say that..." Ji Yingying caught a ball and shouted, "Watch my whirlwind ball!"

"Hey~" Ji Jiaming caught it immediately and called back, but Ji Yingying couldn't catch it.

"Little sister, you're not going to make it!"

"You..." Ji Yingying got angry and said, "Big brother, today I'll teach you how to play ball properly, so you'll know that even a strong woman can't say no."

Ji Yingying, who couldn't even jump as high as Ji Jiaming, served the ball directly. Ji Cailiang shouted, "Stop playing, take a break, have some barbecue. Your mother and I have already grilled it."

No one paid him any attention, but Ji Cailiang didn't mind. He went back to the oven with Fang Yulan and they were roasting sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato is already smelling delicious.

Even from a great distance, the two ministers accompanying the Emperor, Minister Lu of the Ministry of Rites and Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue, could smell the scent.

"What is this family doing?" the Emperor asked with a smile. The two ministers had never been to the Ji family before, so they naturally didn't know what they were doing. If it were Minister Gong and Minister Hong, they would definitely say: Ji San is making something delicious.

Without having their servants announce their arrival, the group went inside and saw a family enjoying themselves.

They seem to be having quite a bit of fun.

"Hey, Ji San, weren't you having an allergic reaction today? How come you still have so much energy?"

The Emperor's voice suddenly rang out, and everyone knelt down, except for Ji Yingying and Ji Jiaming, who remained standing there dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Ji Jiaming had never met the Emperor before, but upon hearing Ji Cailiang's address, he immediately knelt down.

He's the only one in the family who's never seen the Emperor, even his mother has! How pathetic and lamentable!

"Just came to check on you. You ate mangoes again?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, would you like some? My second brother peeled a few and they're over there. Go and eat them quickly. Oh, and my mother's roasted meat is delicious."

"Hehe, wait a moment, you may all rise. Today I am merely traveling incognito, there is no need for such formalities. Ji San, what are you and your elder brother wearing?"

"These sportswear are for my family. They wear them when they exercise, and they're very comfortable!" He then gave a thumbs-up, which sounded a bit like someone from Shaanxi. Unfortunately, to them, it just sounded a bit odd.

“Well done. Get a set for the Ministry of Works and have them study it before sending it to the garment factory.”

"Okay, no problem. You didn't come here just to get this outfit, did you?"

"Of course! That's why I came to see you."

[Hehe~ I don't need you to look at me. It's already good enough that you're not using me as a tool. Hehe, this emperor is alright in every way, except he treats me like a man. It really proves the saying that women are used like men, and men are used like beasts.]

Upon hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but find it novel. Why hadn't he thought of this before? Men and women are all human beings; as long as they can be used, that's fine!

"Your Majesty~" Ji Cailiang called out cautiously, then told his two sons to bring something for the emperor to eat.

"Alright, you go ahead with your work, I'll talk to your daughter."

"Why……"

Ji Cailiang: ...Daughters are the apple of everyone's eye. It's a pity that her surname is Ji. Even if you make her a princess, she will still have the surname Ji!

Do you want to play badminton?

"Is this a badminton shuttlecock?"

"Yes, for exercise."

[Back then, I actually got so anxious because of Xiangxiang that I had someone make this badminton. He only plays it occasionally; His Majesty, with his lazy nature, probably won't want to move.]

"Since it's for exercise, I'll give it a try. It's been a while since I've exercised."

"Your Majesty, let me make this clear to you: if you exercise, your body will feel sore and weak, and it may even take several days to recover. Please don't blame me."

[Host, doesn't an emperor understand this principle?]

I'm worried he might have Alzheimer's disease; his moods would be unpredictable, and what would happen if he were punished?

【Too. 】

"It's alright, I'll fight you."

"Alright, your clothes are too cumbersome. How about this, change into the sportswear and sneakers I made, and I'll have a competition with you?"

"no problem!"

Ji Yingying hurriedly asked Granny Xia to take the emperor to change his clothes. After changing, the emperor really had the air of a modern big boss, even more so than a big boss.
