Ji Yunhuan argued, "It was just an accident. How could I have let the kite happen to scratch Miss Shangguan's face from such a long distance? If I could call the wind and rain and control the direction of the wind, wouldn't I be a god?"
Long Lin jumped out of the nest and meowed at the prince a few times. He testified that it was really just an accident.
Although the prince did not understand what he said, he believed that the prince he chose was definitely not a brainless person.
Long Haochang glanced at the cat on the ground with disdain and sneered, "It's really an ugly person raising an ugly cat. I'm too lazy to waste words with you. No matter how you try to argue, it's you who harmed Xue'er."
"You must apologize to Xue'er today, and then have the Prime Minister's Mansion send a sedan chair with eight bearers to take Xue'er back home. I will record her as my legitimate daughter. If you can get along well with her, I will forgive you for your plea."
Long Lin meowed wildly around the prince, but unfortunately no one paid attention to the cat's anger. The prince, who had always been respectful to him, even kicked him. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been injured.
Only Ji Yunhuan understood the emperor's rebuke. The emperor was a man of both military and civil skills, and was deeply loved by the people. The only stain on his life was that he had no children, so he adopted Long Haochang as the crown prince.
The emperor trusted Long Haochang very much, just like those women who were obsessed with Long Haochang, as if they were blinded by his love.
Ji Yunhuan pulled Xizi behind him and looked at Long Haochang with disdain. "Your Highness, is your head filled with water? You can't even tell right from wrong. Who the hell is Shangguan Ruoxue? How can she be worthy of being the legitimate daughter of my Ji family?"
"The Ji family saw she was helpless and alone, so they gave her a place to stay. But it only whetted her appetite. Does she really think she's a daughter of the Prime Minister's family? Is Your Highness also so emotional and disorganized in his daily governance?"
There were whispers of discussion all around. How could a girl from another family, who was not even the flesh and blood of Prime Minister Ji, be qualified to be recorded as the Prime Minister's daughter?
Most of the noble ladies were still immersed in the halo of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and were even sighing at his deep affection.
"Your Highness has gone to great lengths to elevate this woman's status. It's truly touching."
"If I could be favored like this by His Highness, I would be content even if I died immediately."
Shangguan Ruoxue has become accustomed to the envious and jealous voices of people around her. She knows that she is different and only she can easily get the love of His Highness.
She grabbed Long Haochang's sleeve, her fingers trembling slightly, and said in fear: "Your Highness, don't be angry. My sister didn't mean to be disrespectful to Your Highness. I don't want anything, I don't care about status or position, I just want to see Your Highness more often."
These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Long Haochang took a step forward, feeling a sense of oppression, and his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
"Ji Yunhuan! If you were half as virtuous and sensible as Xue'er, I wouldn't hate you so much!"
"How I govern the country is not for a mere woman like you to comment? I am the Crown Prince Regent. If you dare to disobey my orders, you are defying my will! Apologize to Xue'er, and I will not pursue your crime."
Ji Yunhuan didn't want to continue to argue, so he reached out his hand towards Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue understood what the young lady meant. The young lady was used to being flamboyant. If someone accidentally broke something, she would pay double the compensation. She immediately took out a gold ingot and placed it in the young lady's hand.
Ji Yunhuan walked around Long Haochang and handed the gold to Shangguan Ruoxue. She said calmly, "This should be enough to treat Miss Shangguan's injuries. Is this enough to show my sincerity? Can I leave now?"
Shangguan Ruoxue trembled all over, almost staggering, tears welling in her eyes as she spoke, "Xue'er comes from a humble background, and indeed cannot compare to the luxurious living she has enjoyed since childhood. But Xue'er is also a human being, so why would you insult me, sister?"
Ji Yunhuan: ???
She really couldn't understand Shangguan Ruoxue's thoughts. She didn't throw the money on the ground, so how could it be considered an insult?
Without waiting for Ji Yunhuan to explain, Long Haochang rushed over and tried to strangle her.
Long Haochang, the mad dog, had attacked Shangguan Ruoxue more than once to protect her opponent. Ji Yunhuan had been prepared for this. She had taken the "bodybuilding pill" and was very strong. She raised her hand and slapped Long Hao's arm away, saying coldly:
"Men and women should not touch each other. Your Highness, please respect yourself."
Long Haochang felt his forearm go numb. This woman actually dared to hit him. She was truly arrogant and domineering, without any of the graceful virtues of a woman.
She clearly loves him very much, but she pretends not to care. He has seen many women like this.
