The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had a broad face and ears, and a tall stature. Standing at the door, he looked like a mountain.
He has been on the battlefield for many years and has commanded the Royal Guards for many years. He has accumulated great prestige and looks quite terrifying.
Qiao Yue's hand trembled as she held the invitation. She moved closer to the young lady and whispered, "Young lady, let's go back. I don't know what the master is thinking. He insists on having a delicate girl like you attend the banquet. Isn't he afraid that you will be bullied?"
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery finally spoke, his voice as loud as a bell, revealing a murderous aura. "Miss Ji, please go back. Today is my mother's eightieth birthday. If anyone dares to disrupt the birthday banquet and make my mother unhappy, I will never let it go!"
What do you mean busy with state affairs? Marquis Zhongyong suspected that Prime Minister Ji was busy dealing with him. Although he didn't know what Prime Minister Ji's plan was, it was right not to let anyone in!
Ji Yunhuan didn't expect that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would be so stupid as to stop her outside the door.
People in the capital city are very particular about being roundabout and tactful. When they meet someone who is so straightforward that he is a little silly, most people really can't do anything about him.
Ever since the emperor disappeared, Long Haochang had been using threats and inducements for so long, but Marquis Zhongyong had insisted on obeying the emperor's orders and swearing allegiance to the emperor until death, refusing to hand over the military power of the Imperial Guards.
Ji Yunhuan took a step forward and stood in front of the Loyal and Brave Marquis with no fear on his face.
"I come here sincerely to congratulate you. Do you really want to block me out? Please think carefully. Don't take the wrong path or look at the wrong person."
Qiao Yue was almost dying of anxiety. She reached out and pulled the young lady, whispering, "Forget it if you can't get in. The master won't blame you. Let's give the gift and go back."
Marquis Zhongyong stroked the thing in his hand. He just wanted to scare the little girl on purpose and leave her alone.
The daughter of the Ji family was indeed lawless. She was not afraid at all and dared to approach him. She even stuffed something into his hand.
The loyal and brave marquis felt what was in his hand and his face changed. "You...how did you get His Majesty..."
He suddenly stopped talking. There were so many people around here that it was not appropriate to talk about this.
"Miss Ji is indeed courageous! This Marquis likes your personality. Come, take Miss Ji to Fu'an Hall and have Yao'er entertain her well. Remember not to neglect our distinguished guests."
The old butler breathed a sigh of relief. Even he was afraid when the master was angry.
Miss Ji is really amazing. She can even talk to the master without changing her expression.
He took the invitation handed to him by the maid and bowed, saying, "Miss Ji, please follow me. The front hall is for entertaining male guests. To avoid bumping into you, let's go from the south. The female relatives are all in Fu'an Hall."
The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was a reward from the emperor. It is very large, and the location is not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it has a horse farm inside, which is absolutely unique in the capital.
Xizi followed Ji Yunhuan all the way. After being a cat for so long, he could run very fast on four legs and eat very quickly. He no longer needed to be fed.
"Meow meow meow~~~"
Ji Yunhuan turned around and picked up Xizi. "Are you tired from walking? I told you to lie down in the cradle, but you refused and insisted on running by yourself."
Xizi rolled over on Ji Yunhuan, staring at Ji Yunhuan with a pair of big round eyes, "Meow meow meow~~"
Every time he stared at Ji Yunhuan like this, it seemed that Ji Yunhuan could guess some of his cat words.
Ji Yunhuan used the "Cat Language Translator" and said with a smile, "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, it's safe. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery only looks scary. He never bullies others, nor does he kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone hurt a little girl like me."
Ji Yunhuan put Xizi in the cat bed and let Qiaoyue push him.
She would take Xizi with her wherever she went. In addition to cultivating feelings, she also wanted the emperor to see it all with his own eyes and let the emperor completely recognize Long Haochang's true face!
After arriving at the backyard, the old housekeeper left, and a cheerful little maid in red led Ji Yunhuan to Fu'an Hall.
Fu'an Hall was already full of female relatives, all of whom had close ties with the Marquis's Mansion. The ladies were chatting and laughing, and both the guests and the hosts were having a great time.
As soon as Ji Yunhuan arrived, the atmosphere became cold.
The wife of a military commander glanced at Ji Yunhuan sideways, her eyes almost rolling up to the sky. She spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth and said with disdain, "You know you're not popular, yet you still have to come out and embarrass yourself."
The news from the door had already been passed in. Ji Yunhuan walked slowly, but the servants who came and went were very fast.
The military generals were led by Marquis Zhongyong, who was very hostile to Prime Minister Ji, and the people around him naturally followed suit.
Moreover, military generals and civil officials are not in the same system, and Prime Minister Ji has no control over the military generals, so the female relatives have no need to curry favor with the Prime Minister's daughter.
As soon as Ji Yunhuan entered the door, she was met with a lot of rolling eyes and gossip, but she pretended not to hear them and walked straight to the center of Fu'an Hall.
Xia Mengyao sat next to Old Madam Xia and was full of hostility towards Ji Yunhuan.
"What are you doing here? I wonder what father is thinking. He actually let you in. Who knows what evil intentions you have? You even dared to hit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Is there anything else you wouldn't dare to do?"
Ji Yunhuan turned love into hate, and his "bad reputation" of beating the prince in public has spread throughout the capital. Most of the women from military families admire His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally they have nothing good to say about Ji Yunhuan.
Xizi bared his teeth and howled at the women around him!
He almost forgot that he hated women. He really wanted to pounce on these women and scratch them!
They are all people who follow the crowd and have given Ji Yunhuan a "bad reputation" based on hearsay. Rumors are scary. No wonder Ji Yunhuan always turns down those flower-viewing banquets and poetry gatherings and doesn't like to go out.
Ji Yunhuan looked around. These noble ladies were like puppets. They looked shy and full of admiration when they mentioned Long Haochang, even though Long Haochang had never spoken a word to them.
Xia Mengyao is even more pathetic. She has been humiliated by Long Haochang several times, but she still can't forget him.
"Since you know that I'm not easy to mess with and you even dare to hit the Crown Prince, you should keep your tails between your legs and behave yourself. If you anger me, I won't let you off with the whip in my hand!"
Ji Yunhuan pulled out the iron whip from his waist and hit a century-old tree in the yard with it. The branches and leaves flew everywhere, and a layer of bark was stripped off the thick trunk.
"Go on, keep on cursing! I'm right here listening. Why are you so scared? You're the daughter of a military commander, nothing more than a coward! I really despise you!"
"Whoever wants to try my whip, I'll fight to the bitter end! I can injure the prince and escape unscathed. If I injure a few young ladies, who can do anything to me?"
Xizi cried out twice to cheer Ji Yunhuan up!
He had never seen a woman like Ji Yunhuan, who was arrogant, unruly, and reckless. She did everything a woman shouldn't do, but he still thought Ji Yunhuan was very good, especially very good!
Better than any other woman in the world!
