Upon hearing from the servants that Ji Shishi had arrived, Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel a tightness in his anus...

Ji Shishi was no ordinary woman who could be coaxed away with kind words. She was proud and arrogant and looked down on all men in the world.

Her so-called gentleness was only reserved for Jiang Ming.

Now, with a large number of wives and concubines of various ethnicities, the sudden arrival of Ji Shishi will inevitably expose his secrets...

It wasn't that I was worried she might take back the tiger tally in a fit of anger and remove me from my position as prime minister.

She doesn't have that ability right now...

The main reason is that Jiang Ming has developed deep feelings for her after more than a month of married life!

I don't want to see Shishi sad and upset...

However, what he didn't know was that Ji Shishi had known about Jiang Ming having a woman outside for more than half a month.

If anyone is to blame, it's Jiang Ming for making such a boastful statement.

He told Ji Shishi that this trip from Jicheng to Dukang to mobilize troops would take anywhere from 7-8 days to half a month.

However, Jiang Ming's absence lasted for 3-4 months.

Ji Shishi's belly is already showing, but Jiang Ming still shows no sign of going back... It's as if he's completely forgotten about her.

Although Ji Shishi learned from Tingwei Zizhi that the domestic famine had been greatly alleviated thanks to the Prime Minister's arrangements, and that the Prime Minister was like a god who could conjure up countless grains to ensure a continuous supply of food to the front lines, the soldiers at Maiqiu were well-fed and the Qi people could not invade at all!

Moreover, the Prime Minister also defeated the Rouran and carried out another massacre of those savage people on the grasslands...

I know he's busy, but I shouldn't have left him hanging for almost four months.

Spring has arrived, and half a year has passed, but her husband shows no sign of returning to see her.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would simply call a carriage and go to find her husband.

But Ji Shishi is the eldest princess, the representative of the legitimacy of the Yan Kingdom.

Her easy departure from Beijing will inevitably bring a series of political consequences...

Moreover, Jiang Ming had also seriously instructed her: stay in Jicheng and don't wander around, so as to prevent giving bad people another chance to harm her!

Although the assassin and the remnants of the Empress Yan's faction were all executed, it doesn't mean there weren't people who wanted her dead.

Therefore, Ji Shishi has always been very obedient in studying poetry and literature in Jicheng.

The so-called poetry competition was cancelled due to the escalating war and previous domestic turmoil.

Actually, Ji Xi agreed to hold the so-called "Poetry Competition" because he was brainwashed by the ministers who only reported good news and not bad news. He was completely deluded and living in a delusion... He thought that the Yan Kingdom was peaceful, prosperous and powerful, and he actually had the mind to hold some kind of poetry competition.

It wasn't until Jiang Ming came to power that the "cover" was lifted, revealing the true nature of Yan's "dream of becoming a powerful and dominant nation," a bed teeming with rats, cockroaches, fleas, and even excrement...

If it weren't for using Young Master Luo's resources to carry out a P2P financing fraud and obtain this ample amount of grain...

It's likely that the State of Yan will collapse on its own even without the State of Qi attacking it!

Ji Shishi naturally recognized Jiang Ming's contributions.

But a month or two is fine... but if they haven't seen each other for any longer, and with morning sickness and missing her husband every day, Ji Shishi really can't take it anymore!

So she decided to stop worrying about things like "travel safety" and go to the front lines to see her husband!

At this time, Ji Shishi learned that Jiang Ming already had a wife.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret forever; Jiang Ming couldn't hide it no matter what he tried...

Leaving aside his eldest sister, second sister, Murong Xue, Dugu Yan, and Changsun Yuenu, the news of his marriage to the Xiongnu Eriya E'er has already reached the ears of the Yan people!

Moreover, Ji Shishi also had her own "spies," who had long ago sent them to Dukang to find out Jiang Ming's "background."

Ji Shishi knew everything about him, from taking his second sister's place in marrying the mountain god to marrying his eldest and second sisters, and even about the Xianbei princess Murong Xue...

Moreover, it seems that the two chief consorts of the Xianbei tribes are now all his women.

Upon hearing this news... it would be impossible for Ji Shishi not to feel like she had been struck by lightning, and not to be sad or heartbroken!

She originally thought she was Jiang Ming's number one woman, but little did she know... he already had a harem of wives and concubines back in his hometown.

But Jiang Ming never told her, and the intense feeling of being deceived made Ji Shishi cry all night.

However, she was, after all, the eldest princess, raised in a royal family...

Ji Shishi understood that Jiang Ming was now the pillar of Yan Kingdom, and it would not be good for Yan Kingdom to have a falling out with him!

So Ji Shishi held back and decided to speak to Jiang Ming in a gentle tone to ask him what he really meant and whether he loved her or not.

Was it because he loved her, or because of her status as a 'princess' that he was with her?

Could I just be one of his pawns?

Why hasn't he come back to see me after four months? Has he already forgotten about me and is having fun with another wife?

Ji Shishi was originally very resentful...

However, she soon learned an even more shocking piece of news!

Jiang Ming commanded the battle at the front, while the political and diplomatic affairs of Jicheng in the rear were handled by ministers such as Zizhi.

Now that the Duke of Jin knows that Jiang Ming is the Qin prince Ying Jiang whom he wanted to kill, and now wants Qin and Jin to reconcile, Jiang Ming is a key link... Therefore, the envoy must first come to Ji City to explain his purpose.
