Ji Yingying transmigrated into the family of a ninth-rank sesame official in the Tianyou Dynasty. With loving parents and harmonious siblings, she originally lived a happy, carefree life of idly go...
No, no, the King of Qi was a man, he was a man too~
[Then all I can say is that he dressed as a woman very convincingly. King Qi is already quite old, how can he be so clueless about love? Luckily, he doesn't have any ambition to become emperor, otherwise, he would definitely be a source of trouble!]
Should you remind King Qi?
"No need, the King of Qi isn't even here. However, I'm actually quite interested in this family that favors daughters over sons."
The Tianyou Dynasty has always favored boys over girls. Regardless of whether the family has property or not, even if it is just a thick piece of clothing, a boy must inherit it.
So, when she suddenly heard that there was a family where a baby girl died and a baby boy was born in her place, it was very rare, and that's why she was so interested.
[The family's surname is Situ. There's a curse on this family; it's said that female infants can't survive. For hundreds of years, female infants have indeed failed to live. Now, the only one who can survive is this one, but he is male.]
[Oh, so someone needs to break this curse, right? I once read about a family that was cruel to children and was cursed. The curse was that all the males in the family would have to undergo sex reassignment surgery if they didn't lose their virginity by the age of 20!]
[It's just a rumor. I haven't seen any evidence of this yet. You can wait until An Yi comes back and have him write a story about it.]
Ji Yingying thought this proposal was good and agreed.
"Let's go and take a walk over there." Mu Kaiji pointed to a place not far away. The resort was very large and had many attractions. The key point was that there was also a small area for raising animals.
There are monkeys, tigers, squirrels, bears, and more inside! There are also guards to keep watch and prevent them from coming out and causing trouble.
"We've recently started operating slowly, and we should be able to turn a profit in less than two years."
"Okay, great! Take your time."
In addition to leisure activities, Ji Yingying also went to a hot spring, had a massage, and relaxed for the day. In the evening, she went to see a play, which even included a modern one.
There were quite a few people who came to play, and more importantly, some stayed to watch the show.
"Aren't you going to court tomorrow?" Seeing that it was quite late, Mu Kaiji asked.
"I'm taking a break tomorrow. I'm not going. This is the city that never sleeps, right?"
Ji Yingying looked at the brightly lit scene, which resembled a city that never sleeps.
"Yes, there will be food, drinks and fun at night. It all depends on what people think."
"We won't lose money, will we?"
"It won't be a loss. If it does, we'll just close it down. It's your farm anyway."
Ji Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes. What the hell is this...
"We are taking a people-friendly approach and have even invited Guanyin Bodhisattva. You can burn incense if you want."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, as long as I can make money!" Ji Yingying was about to go back to her room when she suddenly noticed her cousin, Yang Dani.
[Xiangxiang, what is my cousin doing here? I remember her husband wouldn't approve of her being out so late, right? Is she selling something here?]
It’s just that the clothes don’t look alike. It’s because they don’t look alike that Ji Yingying asked another question: what if there’s a melon?
She sells things.
Okay, then!
She became someone's mistress.
Ji Yingying was shocked. She knew she was restless but she didn't expect her to be so restless.
[Whose mistress are you being? ]
[It's one of those princes, who else could it be? She seduced the illegitimate son of Prince Rong and became his mistress. As for her husband, he didn't care about her.]
[He didn't care even though he was cheating on me. What a real man.]
[It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he has someone he likes and doesn't want to live with your cousin at all.]
[What do you mean? He cheated on my cousin?]
No, it was an agreement between the two of them. Your cousin would marry him, and neither of them would interfere. They would just live their own lives. The main reason it turned out this way was that the illegitimate son of Prince Rong's family didn't want to marry her.
Ji Yingying: …………
[Is there any trace of that bastard's handwriting in this? ]
Yes, he arranged everything.
What is the purpose?
【Hook you up! 】
Ji Yingying didn't believe it. Prince Rong's bastard son was having an affair with her? He was already so old, wasn't he afraid of being beaten by his mother?
There's nothing I can do, my dad isn't home.
[Well... I don't know. Anyway, their goal is to hook up with you. Since you can't hook up with them, just ignore it.]
【knew!】
It's impossible to connect now. As soon as the news of Xiangxiang came out, Rongyi's first thing to do was to send it to the palace.
The Emperor was furious and summoned Prince Rong that very night. He even ordered Prince Rong to bring in that illegitimate son so he could ask him how he seduced Ji Yingying.
When Prince Rong heard the emperor's question, he was dumbfounded. He had never dared to get too close to Ji Yingying, so how did the word "hook up" come out?
They were practically saying "forming cliques for personal gain"!
"Xiangxiang said it herself, so just tell me whether you did or not?"
Prince Rong really didn't know and he couldn't say it, but his illegitimate son finally couldn't stand it and expressed his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I simply admire Master Ji. I really don't have any other thoughts."
"You admire her?" The next second, some letters and portraits were thrown down: "I ordered Rong Yi to investigate these. How come I see that you want to harm Yingying?"
Many letters say that as long as you control her, you can make money in the future and even sit in the highest position. They also scold Ji Yingying for having such great abilities but doing nothing!
In short, the more arrogant he was in the letter, the more cowardly he is now!
Prince Rong didn't even dare to beg for mercy. There was a plot to seize power involved. He was... finished!
At this moment, I wish I could just kill this bastard!
In the end, the illegitimate son was beheaded and the others were exiled. In any case, the title of Prince Rong was gone!
Ji Yingying only learned on the third day that a prince was gone!
"Xiangxiang, why did you suddenly deal with a prince?" Ji Yingying asked in confusion. Rong Yi must have found out something!
[The illegitimate son of Prince Rong, the one who seduced your cousin and plotted to seize power. Oh, and he also wants to control you and use you for his own purposes!]
Am I not very capable?
[Your ability isn't that great. Look at how far the Tianyou Dynasty has come in just one year.]
No one starved to death, no one froze to death, we had ice in the summer, coal in the winter, and guns for war. Hmm~ things really are developing quite well!
[Your abilities are so high, I guess they want your help in a rebellion!]
[You're insane!]
As soon as the Emperor entered the main hall, he heard Ji Yingying roar angrily. He looked at the Crown Prince in confusion, and the Crown Prince immediately shook his head and whispered in his ear what had just happened.
[Let me rebel, haha, I'll be the first one to send him to hell. He can't even enjoy his good life, but he still wants to eat peanuts. He's the first person in the world!]
The morning court began and everyone started chattering again. Ji Yingying had already gotten used to it. The weather was getting colder and it was expected that snow would fall soon.
