Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 404: Are you still fighting with the prince?
I only thought of these things now, and I guess someone must have broken them down and taught me bit by bit.
It can be seen that Lanting really put his heart into it.
She couldn't help but ask, "Where's Lanting? Isn't she with you today?"
Xiao Yue said, "He said something happened today and asked me to be careful."
Having said that, she lowered her voice and asked, "Will something happen here today?"
Ji Yunshu: "You ask me what I'm doing? Didn't you host this banquet?"
Xiao Yue said, "Isn't it the most likely place for things to happen? Because of what happened with Mo Bei, everyone has been quite quiet these past few days. But today, not only are you and Xiao Ting here, but even Princess Wujina is coming. I have a feeling something's going to happen."
Ji Yunshu found that although her analysis was illogical, it seemed quite reliable.
But it was not a good time to say anything more now, so he took her hand and walked inside while saying, "Just pretend you know nothing and have fun. Of course, it's always better to be careful."
While the two were talking, they crossed a long path. At the other end of the path, several girls were gathered together chatting and laughing.
The leader was Xiao Ting, she seemed to be popular. When Ji Yunshu walked in, he heard her talking about some things in Yongzhou. Everyone seemed quite interested.
"Is Yongzhou really that good? Isn't it said that it's desolate and deserted?"
Xiao Ting patiently explained, "It's not as prosperous as the capital, but it has its own bustle. There are many people from the Western Regions and merchants there, and the requirements for women are not as strict. For example, I can often go out with my brothers."
Ji Yunshu discovered that if Xiao Ting wanted to, she could indeed gain other people's favor in a very short time.
Her few simple words made many women present yearn for Yongzhou.
People would like to use rules to trap women in the inner courtyard and never let them show their faces in public.
But women are also human beings and have their own ideas. There are the most old scholars like them in the capital, and the aristocratic families are also used to following the rules.
But which little girl likes to be locked in the backyard every day?
Xiao Yue walked closer and asked, "Yongzhou is so good, Xiao Ting, why don't you find someone to marry in Yongzhou? What are you doing in the capital?"
Her words were purely a question, without any malice in them.
But she actually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It was her own fault that she had delayed her marriage until now, so she couldn't blame others.
But if Xiao Ting found someone to marry in Yongzhou, no one would say anything, and there would be no need for her to come to the capital for all this trouble. In fact, the matter of marriage had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Ting seemed accustomed to her outspokenness and said openly, "Aren't we here to celebrate the emperor's birthday? I was born in Yongzhou, so naturally I yearn for the prosperity of the capital and want to see the world. I will return to Yongzhou in the future."
After these words came out, even Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look at her.
She thought that since Prince Yong had asked the Emperor to choose a husband for her, Xiao Ting would have to marry into the capital regardless of whether the marriage was harmonious or not.
Prince Yong actually meant to take the initiative to send hostages to the emperor.
Doesn’t the emperor suspect me?
Then send a pair of favored children and even leave their marriage to the emperor.
You should believe it now, right?
Prince Yong probably thought that although the emperor knew that he was restless, it was common for vassal kings to be restless, and usually the emperor could just give him a warning and that would be the end of it.
At least in this dynasty or even in history, there is no precedent of a successful rebellion by a vassal king.
Therefore, Prince Yong probably thought that the emperor might not suspect him of plotting a rebellion.
Ji Yunshu pondered it for a moment and felt that Prince Yong was not prepared in the first place. After the emperor's weakening over the past year, the chances of success should be even smaller now.
So he dared not act rashly.
As she was thinking about this, she suddenly heard Xiao Ting call her, "Madam, what are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Yongzhou is indeed a good place. I wish I could go and have a look someday."
As soon as she said this, several people responded immediately. They were all little girls who had been locked up for a long time. Who wouldn't want to go?
However, Xiao Ting's face stiffened for a moment. Ji Yunshu was different from ordinary women. She had been to Suzhou and southern Xinjiang.
But every time he went to a place, he would cause trouble for the palace.
Now that she said she wanted to go to Yongzhou, she couldn't help but think about it.
But when she thought about what was going to happen soon, the corners of her mouth rose.
The people of Mobei had a wild idea and wanted to use Ji Yunshu to threaten Zhao Shen and the Ji family.
But she felt that the plan was unlikely to be feasible.
Once Zhao Shen knew that they were the ones who attacked Ji Yunshu, who knew what he would do?
In her opinion, death would put an end to everything. As long as Ji Yunshu was gone, the blame would be put on Emperor Huang, and their goal of alienating the Ji family from the court would be achieved.
As for Zhao Shen, his life is still in their hands, so what trouble can he cause?
Xiao Ting was very grateful to her father for giving her the same opportunity as men to study and practice martial arts, and even for being willing to use her.
Since Mobei has a queen, why can’t Daxia have one?
Whenever she thought of this, her heart beat faster.
She is of royal blood, and if her father ascends the throne, she will not be without a chance.
If Ji Yunshu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely recommend her to Wu Rina.
Two women who want to be king must have a lot of common topics.
It was at this time that Wu Rina arrived. She came in carelessly, ignoring the other young ladies. She just grabbed Ji Yunshu and asked, "Why are you here? Are you still fighting with the prince?"
When Ji Yunshu first arrived, everyone was actually looking at her with obscure eyes.
The news that she had quarreled with Zhao Shen because the Third Prince of Mobei gave Zhao Shen a woman had spread.
There's nothing we can do. This place is so small and everyone is so bored.
Or the erotic affairs of a young talent like Zhao Shen.
Who wouldn't be curious?
However, due to her upbringing and Ji Yunshu's identity, no one dared to say anything directly in front of her.
Even Xiao Yue only vaguely felt that the couple should be fine. Since Ji Yunshu didn't say anything to her yesterday, she didn't dare to ask again today.
Now here comes Wujina, who is not afraid of offending others and speaks her mind. She asks the questions that everyone wants to know as soon as she opens her mouth.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu, however, had no intention of satisfying everyone's curiosity. He said indifferently, "Why can't I come? Who said we had a fight?"
What a joke, even ten of her can’t beat Zhao Shen.
She must be crazy to fight with Zhao Shen.
Wujina was puzzled. "Everyone said you had a fight. I heard it was because the Third Prince gave Zhao Shen a beautiful woman. I was also wondering, it's just a slave girl. If you don't like it, just kill her. Why are you so angry?"
Ji Yunshu sighed: "The prince likes her, how can I kill her casually? Besides, she was given to me by your Mobei people. If I kill her, wouldn't that mean I look down on your Mobei people?"
Wu Rina said bluntly: "She's just a slave girl. How can she represent the reputation of Mobei? Oh, don't change the subject. Did you really fight with Zhao Shen? Don't you have a good relationship as husband and wife?"
