Chapter 242 Taking Them to the Imperial Estate

[Not admitting what you said, huh...] Just as Ji Yingying was about to say something, the young master said, "I received a message from my family asking me to go back. I might have to leave tonight."

"Oh? But I haven't properly entertained you at home yet, and I haven't taken you out to explore the capital. The capital is quite a fun place."

They just arrived, had a meal, and haven't done anything yet, and they want to go back already? That won't do.

"Come again next time. There are urgent matters at home. The person is already waiting outside."

Ji Yingying had no choice but to agree.

"Alright then, if you can't resolve this, just tell me and I'll help you."

"Okay, thank you very much, Sister Ji. Let's keep in touch." The young master chatted with Xiao Mei for a while longer before leaving.

One person left the 4th floor. It's really strange. Can you tell me what happened to their family?

[It's a power grab. The position of young master is just above the sect leader, and they're eyeing the family business. As for the specifics, no information has been received, so we don't know.]

"Alright, alright, it's okay, there are still three of you here." Ji Yingying immediately told the three of them to go back and rest, while also discussing tomorrow's plans.

"Would you like to visit the Imperial Estate?"

"You can go?" All three were shocked. That was an imperial estate. How could you go there?

"Sure! Shall we go?" If nothing unexpected happens, Minister Gong will definitely send her to the Imperial Estate again tomorrow.

"Can you take us there?" The wealthy merchant was somewhat shocked. His family wanted to do business with the royal family, but they had never been able to do so.

"Yes, just tell me if you're going or not?" Give me an answer. We need to make plans for tomorrow. You can't go out to have fun without a plan.

"Let's go, I'd like to see the Imperial Estate."

"He wants to get involved with the royal family and do business with them." Xiangxiang's voice rang out, and Ji Yingying quickly looked at him, asking bluntly, "What kind of business does your family run?"

When Ji Yingying asked him that question, he was so nervous that his hands were shaking, but he kept trying to hide it.

"My family owns several cosmetic shops, and their face powder is quite good. I'll have someone send some over tomorrow."

"Not bad, not bad at all. You're a businessman, you know how to do business." The words of praise made him somewhat proud and pleased!

"Okay, if it works well, I'll help you find a way to send some to the palace. However, you may not know that the facial cleansers and skincare products used by the empresses in the palace are all made by me. The cosmetics you send will suffice; you don't need to worry about anything else."

"Okay, I understand." After the conversation ended, Ji Yingying looked at the physician and asked, "And you? Do you want to become a royal physician?"

The doctor immediately waved his hand: "No need, I don't really want to save anyone."

"That's okay too."

"I...I want to..." Before Xiaomei could finish speaking, the wealthy businessman and the doctor immediately said, "If you don't want to, you can just stay by our side."

this……

What does she want to do?

She wanted to enter the palace as a concubine, any concubine would do; she wanted power.

Goodness, no wonder those two were trying to stop us.

"Alright then, you all rest. I'm going back to my room. I'll come back to pick you up after court tomorrow, and we'll go to the Imperial Estate together."

As soon as she left, Ji Yingying immediately chimed in, "Tell me quickly, what is she planning to do?"

She wants power now.

[Now, but what about before? It wasn't money, was it?]

[Congratulations, you got it right. Seeing that you have power, she wants it too; she's quite ambitious. Do you want to help her out?]

I thought you would stop me?

[I won't stop her. It's a good thing for a girl to have some ambition, as long as she has sound values ​​and doesn't do anything immoral or unethical.]

Okay, okay...

Ji Yingying agreed with her and stopped talking. She went back to her room to sleep and got up early the next day to attend court. Even during the morning court session, she kept thinking about going to the imperial estate after court.

However, she still greeted the Crown Prince when she arrived, and the Crown Prince didn't say anything.

Upon receiving the news, Ji Yingying rushed back to pick up the people and take them to the Imperial Estate. The four of them planned to ride bicycles there, as it would be faster.

horse riding……

Forget it, it's too bumpy!

"Mother, I'm going to the Imperial Estate with my friends. I might be back late tonight, or I might not come back at all." Ji Yingying still wanted to let Fang Yulan know so as not to lose face in front of her friends.

After all, her mother would hit her without hesitation, showing her no respect whatsoever.

"Okay, I understand."

When they set off, Minister Gong also arrived. The group went directly to the Imperial Estate. On the way, Minister Gong kept trying to talk to Ji Yingying, but he was blocked by the carriage.

After finally arriving at the imperial estate, Minister Gong said, "Young Master Ji, wait a minute. Today we're looking at watermelons, not picking them!"

"If I'm not going to pick them, then what am I doing here?" Just as Ji Yingying was considering whether or not to go in, the Emperor arrived, also riding a bicycle.

He was riding a bicycle, a 28-inch model, which he had snatched from Ji Yingying.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Everyone knelt down to pay their respects, but Ji Yingying alone said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Minister Gong said you were at the Imperial Estate. I thought he was lying to me. Your Majesty, were you secretly eating watermelon?"

The Emperor told the woman to rise, then looked at her and said, "You've lost quite a bit of weight in the few days I haven't seen you."

"No, Your Majesty has lost quite a bit of weight. Is there no meat to eat? It's alright. I'll have someone deliver meals to you from now on. You only need to pay for the delivery. You don't need to pay anything else. Consider it my treat."

To actually ask the Emperor for permission—what an audacity! Everyone except the officials was shocked, but the most shocked were the wealthy merchants. The Emperor himself was the most powerful man, yet Ji Yingying dared to utter such frivolous words.

"You're just trying to steal the money from my hands!"

"Oh dear, you haven't reimbursed me for the money I spent on my business trip." Ji Yingying's eyes widened; she had spent quite a bit on her business trip.

I've been trying to get reimbursed since I got back, but they wouldn't give it to me. They just gave me some gifts, which was pretty good.

"Alright, hurry up and go inside!" The Emperor turned to leave, but Ji Yingying didn't move.

"Your Majesty, shall I take three of my friends for a stroll around the area near the estate later?"

"Granted!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! You are such a kind person!"

Who would believe that, especially coming from a little girl?

"You all follow at the back. Once the Emperor and I are done with our work, we'll take you sightseeing."

"Go on, don't worry about us!" Only the doctor remained relatively calm.

"Okay, see you in a bit."

Ji Yingying followed the Emperor through the fields, occasionally checking on the watermelons, the corn, and the sweet potatoes.

They even went to check out the composting.

"Oh, right, you can grow water spinach. It can last until winter, it's easy to grow, and it tastes good. Whether you stir-fry it with sour sauce, boil it, or cook it, you can eat it however you like!"

"What is water spinach?" The Emperor didn't know this vegetable either, and he had never heard her mention it. Ji Yingying loved meat and vegetables, so she would only mention it if she thought of it.
