Father Ji said angrily: "Humph, why don't you ask your good husband what he did!"

Ji Suzhi tilted her head and stared at Ji's father: "No matter what he did, he is still your son-in-law, so you have to let him off the hook. Father is the king of the world now, so we must have more conveniences. Otherwise, what's the point of being the emperor?"

"Father, your calligraphy and painting are quite beautiful. I will hang it at home."

“What nonsense!!” Father Ji was annoyed and waved his hand to drive them away: “Go away, go away - I am annoyed when I see you!”

Tu Yufan: ....Even I said it out loud, it seems you are very angry.

The chief eunuch smiled and escorted them out. When he left, he suddenly whispered, "Your Highness, please come to the palace often when you have time. His Majesty is not feeling well now."

Ji Suzhi restrained her smile and said sadly: "I know, thank you for reminding me, father-in-law."

Since Ji's father ascended the throne, Tu Yufan would give him acupuncture and medication regularly, but just like the Emperor of Yang State, he was hanging on by one breath. The past few years had been full of troubles, and the treatment had never stopped. Only now has the country finally settled down.

Father Ji doesn't have much time left.

.......

Ji Xinwu became the eldest princess and never thought about getting married again. Her princess's mansion was together with the Jin mansion, and she would come over to play with her nephews and nieces when she had nothing to do.

In the past few years, Tu Yufan had two daughters, and the house was very noisy all the time. However, Jin's mother was very happy. She thought her son was too weak, but she didn't expect to have two granddaughters all of a sudden. Although they were girls, they had discussed marrying them when they grew up. Now she is at home enjoying the company of her grandchildren, and is happy all day long.

Kunning Palace

Ji's mother patted Ji Xinwu's hand, her eyes full of worry.

"Wei'er, you are the eldest duke, and your status is noble, but since ancient times, women still have to marry men. Zhu Wenchen, the Duke of Zhurui, has known you since childhood, and he almost married you."

"I heard that his wife passed away a few years ago. Yesterday, his mother expressed her wish to marry him to the Duke. Wu'er, you are old, so why not listen to your mother and marry into the Zhu family, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of our previous fate."

Seeing Ji Xinwu's confused expression, Ji's mother continued to persuade her.

"Although the Zhu family has no official position or title now, the family heritage is still there. These things are all the result of your father's words, so there is no need to care about them."

Ji Xinwu said, "Mother, my father has promised me that he will support me for the rest of my life, and I don't need to look at other people's faces to do anything."

Ji's mother disagreed, "You still have a long life ahead of you. When your father dies, will your brother protect you after he succeeds to the throne?"

"At worst, I still have Su Zhi. The Jin family is also a new noble family with a strong momentum. When the time comes, she will protect me as the head of the Jin family." Ji Xinwu showed a mocking smile: "Besides, the Zhu family has long been corrupt. If they were not useless, my father would have liquidated them long ago."

Mother Ji's expression twisted, and she said angrily: "You are talking about her again to irritate me, Queen Mother. If I had been a boy, then Cui Shi would still be on equal footing with me!"

Ji Xinwu's ears were callused after hearing this for so many years. She no longer bothered to argue with her mother about this. She lived her own life and could not blame anyone else.

Her life was hard after she got married, but it only lasted for a few years. She never complained about everything like her mother did, and never blamed her sister for all her hatred. Now she has become the eldest princess, with a noble status, living a life of luxury and no need to worry. Only her mother still trapped herself in the world as before.

Ji Xinwu was sitting in the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace.
