Chapter 251 Admiring Lord Ji
No, no, the King of Qi was a man, he was a man too~
[Then all I can say is that he dressed as a woman very convincingly. King Qi is already quite old, how can he be so clueless about love? Luckily, he doesn't have any ambition to become emperor, otherwise, he would definitely be a source of trouble!]
Should you remind King Qi?
"No need, the King of Qi isn't even here. However, I'm actually quite interested in this family that favors daughters over sons."
The Tianyou Dynasty has always been patriarchal, and regardless of whether a family has any property, even if they only have one piece of thick clothing, they must have a son to inherit it.
So, when she suddenly heard that there was a family where a baby girl died and a baby boy was born in her place, it was very rare, and that's why she was so interested.
[The family's surname is Situ. There's a curse on this family; it's said that female infants can't survive. For hundreds of years, female infants have indeed failed to live. Now, the only one who can survive is this one, but he is male.]
[Oh, so someone needs to break this curse, right? I once read about a family that was cruel to children and was cursed. The curse was that all the males in the family would have to undergo sex reassignment surgery if they didn't lose their virginity by the age of 20!]
[It's just a rumor. I haven't seen any evidence of this yet. You can wait until An Yi comes back and have him write a story about it.]
Ji Yingying thought the suggestion was excellent and agreed.
"Let's go, let's take a look over there." Mu Kaiji pointed to a spot not far away. The resort was quite large, with many attractions, and importantly, there was a small area for raising animals.
There are monkeys, tigers, squirrels, bears, and more inside! There are also guards to keep watch and prevent them from coming out and causing trouble.
"We've recently started operating slowly, and we should be able to turn a profit in less than two years."
"Okay, very good! Take your time."
In addition to leisure activities, Ji Yingying also went to a hot spring, had a massage, and relaxed for the day. In the evening, she went to see a play, which even included a modern one.
There were quite a few people who came to play, and more importantly, some stayed to watch the show.
"Aren't you going to court tomorrow?" Mu Kaiji asked, noticing that it was quite late.
"We're off tomorrow, so we're not going. This place is a city that never sleeps, right?"
Ji Yingying looked at the brightly lit scene, which resembled a city that never sleeps.
"Yes, there's food, drinks, and entertainment at night, it just depends on how people think about it."
"We won't lose money, will we?"
“We won’t lose money. If we do, we’ll just close down. It’s your estate anyway.”
Ji Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes. What was this...?
"We're taking a people-friendly approach, and we've even invited Guanyin Bodhisattva. You can offer incense if you want."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, as long as I can make money!" Ji Yingying was about to go back to her room when she suddenly noticed her cousin, Yang Dani.
[Xiangxiang, what's my cousin doing here? I remember her husband probably wouldn't approve of her being out so late, right? Is she here to sell something?]
But the clothes don't quite match. It was because the clothes didn't match that Ji Yingying asked the question, just in case there was something going on.
She sells things.
Okay, then!
She became someone's mistress.
Ji Yingying was shocked; she knew her daughter was restless, but she never expected her to be this restless.
Whose mistress am I going to be?
[It's one of those princes, who else could it be? She seduced the illegitimate son of Prince Rong and became his mistress. As for her husband, he didn't care about her.]
[He's being cheated on, but he doesn't care. What a real man!]
It's not that he doesn't care; it's that he has someone he likes and simply doesn't want to live with your cousin.
What do you mean? He tricked my cousin?
No, it was an agreement between the two of them. Your cousin would marry him, and neither of them would interfere. They would just live their own lives. The main reason it turned out this way was that the illegitimate son of Prince Rong's family didn't want to marry her.
Ji Yingying: …………
[Was this done by that illegitimate son?]
Yes, he arranged everything.
What is the purpose?
[I'm trying to flirt with you!]
Hearing this, Ji Yingying couldn't believe it. The illegitimate son of Prince Rong was seducing her? How old was he? Wasn't he afraid of getting beaten by her mother?
There was nothing I could do; my father wasn't home.
"Well... I don't know either. Anyway, their goal is to hook up with you. Since you can't, just ignore it."
【knew! 】
It's impossible to connect now. As soon as the news of Xiangxiang came out, Rongyi's first thing to do was to send it to the palace.
The Emperor was furious and summoned Prince Rong that very night. He even ordered Prince Rong to bring in that illegitimate son so he could ask him how he seduced Ji Yingying.
When Prince Rong heard the Emperor ask the question, he was dumbfounded. He had never dared to get too close to Ji Yingying, so how could the word "flirting" have come out?
They were practically saying "forming cliques for personal gain"!
"Xiangxiang said it herself, so tell me if it's true or not?"
Prince Rong truly didn't know, and couldn't say it, but his illegitimate son finally couldn't hold back and voiced his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I only admire Lord Ji. I really have no other thoughts."
"You admire her?" The next second, some letters and portraits were thrown down: "I ordered Rong Yi to investigate these. How come I see that you want to harm Yingying?"
Many letters say that as long as you control her, you can make money in the future and even sit in the highest position. They also scold Ji Yingying for having such great abilities but doing nothing!
In short, the more arrogant he is in the letter, the more cowardly he is now!
Prince Rong didn't even dare to beg for mercy. There was a plot to seize power involved. He was... finished!
At this moment, I wish I could just kill this bastard!
In the end, the illegitimate son was beheaded, and the others were exiled. In any case, the title of Prince Rong was gone!
Ji Yingying only learned on the third day that a prince was gone!
"Xiangxiang, why did you suddenly punish a prince?" Ji Yingying asked, puzzled. Rong Yi must have found out something!
[The illegitimate son of Prince Rong, the one who seduced your cousin and plotted to seize power. Oh, and he also wants to control you and use you for his own purposes!]
Am I not very capable?
【Your abilities aren't high enough? Look at what Tianyou Dynasty has developed in just one year!】
No one starved to death, no one froze to death, we had ice in the summer and coal in the winter, and we had guns to fight wars. Hmm, things have really developed quite well!
[You're too capable; they probably want you to help them rebel!]
[You're insane!]
As soon as the Emperor entered the main hall, he heard Ji Yingying roar angrily. He looked at the Crown Prince in confusion, and the Crown Prince immediately shook his head and whispered in his ear what had just happened.
[Let me rebel? Ha! I'll be the first to send him to his death. He's living a good life but wants to eat peanuts. He's the first person like this!]
As the morning court session began, everyone started chattering again. Ji Yingying was already used to it. The weather was getting cold, and it was expected that the snow would fall soon.
