Chapter 277 Red Wine Mixed with Sprite
[Host, you've grown up now, you'll look quite good in it.]
You're right, I'm going to wash up now, we'll talk later.
While washing up, something happened: Ji Yingying discovered that she had started her first period.
This is so uncomfortable.
"It's so painful!" Ji Yingying never expected that she would get her period just before she turned fifteen.
I'm going to suffer every month from now on.
[Congratulations, host, you've grown up! Who knows, maybe we'll have to arrange your coming-of-age ceremony soon.]
[What are you thinking? You're seventeen. There are still two years left after the New Year.] She's currently in the Treasure Hunting Kingdom and has been out for half a year. She'll slow down a bit from now on. She's quite shrewd. She plans to stay here for a year and a half.
Then we'll attack the royal family. Now, Baohe Kingdom only has two grasslands left: the imperial city and Shunlan City, which is close to the imperial city.
Once we conquer it, the entire Baohe Kingdom will become Baohe City. Just thinking about it is exciting.
She conquered Baohe Kingdom before she turned sixteen, and then turned her attention to attacking Haixiang Kingdom.
Hai Xiang Kingdom might be in trouble; she needs ships, otherwise it will be difficult to conquer.
Importantly, she also wanted to use ships to sail south to the Western Ocean.
[Host, is it really okay for you to be thinking about so many things?]
"It's okay if it doesn't work out. I'm sleepy, I'll go back to sleep."
Hai Xiang Kingdom needs ships, so after the New Year, she will have Rong Er go there ahead of time to manufacture them.
We'll just go around and shoot it down, then she'll immediately head south to the Western Ocean.
I don't even know which country that is.
…………
After staying in Shunhe tribe for three days, the fourth day was New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, Ji Yingying asked the general to take people to buy yaks and mutton.
Ji Yingying bought more than a dozen yaks, and cured them all into bacon and beef jerky.
Then we put them in the space, and the rest were used to eat during the New Year's Eve dinner. As for the mutton, we also cured quite a lot of it.
Why do you want to hoard supplies?
Just in case, and besides, it's better to have it yourself than something else.
"You're right." Then Mu Kaiji also spent a lot of money to stock up on a lot of meat in his own space.
As for what he did, Ji Yingying didn't care.
On New Year's Eve, Ji Yingying and Mu Kaiji celebrated the New Year with the army. They only brought a thousand people with them, which wasn't a large group.
Ji Yingying made a hot pot, which is convenient because it's easy to cook food for so many people. Otherwise, cooking for so many people would exhaust the cook.
Another table is occupied by people from the Shunhe tribe. They are the surrendered ones, and someone else will come to take over this place after the New Year. How to deal with this group will depend on how the person taking over operates.
"Come, General, say a few words." Ji Yingying was afraid they would egg her on to say something, so she decided to take the initiative and let the General speak first.
The general stood up and said apologetically, "Brothers, I have nothing to say. With our prince here, from the start of the war last July until the New Year, all one thousand of us have come out intact, and not a single one has died. Of course, there have been injuries, but those were self-inflicted."
"This battle is the most exhilarating one I've ever fought in all these years. Come, let's toast Your Highness."
Ji Yingying drank alcohol this year, but she didn't drink spicy alcohol; she drank red wine.
"Okay, bottoms up!" She downed it in one gulp. Her glass of red wine was mixed with Sprite, and quite a lot of it. After drinking it all in one go, she immediately burped.
“Your Highness is so generous. Come, let our Highness say a few words.”
[As expected, she couldn't escape it.] Ji Yingying stood up; she had nothing more to say.
"I'll just say a few words. Thank you all for coming with me to wander the grasslands. The rabbits are plump, the yaks are delicious, and the mutton is even better. From now on, it belongs to our Tianyou Dynasty. When I return to the capital, I will definitely ask you all for credit. Come on, everyone, let's eat and drink."
"Very well, thank you Your Highness. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and live a thousand years."
After shouting several times, it finally stopped.
This makes it sound like I'm about to rebel.
What are you thinking? Are you planning a rebellion? I bet the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.
[That's true, it's the Lunar New Year, let's have some gossip to cheer us up.]
Whose gossip are we talking about?
[Of course it's the people from the Shunhe tribe at that table who got to enjoy their food. They're letting us potato soldiers off the hook today.]
【good! 】
The potato soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they weren't being targeted.
That old man got his position by sleeping with women.
[What the hell? Such a high-ranking official, hired to sleep with someone? How? How did they sleep with him?]
Ji Yingying looked at the old man, who was very old. She had heard that he was the leader of the Shunhe tribe, and he was ranked after the father and son they had killed.
He'd slept with many women of high-ranking officials and wealthy families, acquiring them through connections. Most importantly, he'd also been with some women in their seventies—oh my, he was the kind of woman men used to insult women.
Okay, he got married?
He got married, but his wife was also sent to another man's bed. At first, his wife didn't know, but later she found out...
[You just agreed?]
[She disagreed, attempted suicide, but failed. Afterwards, he controlled her. Anyway, none of the children born to his family over the years are his; on the contrary, one or two children born to women outside the family are his.]
Good heavens, this guy is truly ruthless. He'll have a hard time when he's old.
Indeed, he's old, and he won't have a good life. His inheritance will be divided among these children who aren't his biological children, and then they'll kill his biological son and leave his body to rot in the wilderness. In short, he won't rest in peace after death.
【ah? 】
Because their mother had already told them he wasn't her biological son, and had told them everything he had done, how could she possibly have a good old age?
What a terrible thing to do! Serves them right. I don't know what they were thinking. You can't take money with you when you die; enough is enough. Why bother?
Old Deng also heard Ji Yingying's thoughts, and he was dumbfounded. He probably hadn't thought about what would happen in the future, but now that he heard it, there was nothing he could do.
Actually, this is for the best; one must atone for one's sins eventually.
[Yes, yes, yes, what other juicy gossip is there? Tell us all!]
[That lady over there gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It turned out the midwife was sent by their rival to kill the babies after the birth. On the day of delivery, the older son was born first, and the midwife took him away, leaving only the younger daughter. Her older son is still alive and works as a slave in her house.]
The woman stood up abruptly, her face filled with shock. She had a son. Who was her son? Was he alright?
He quickly realized something was wrong, so he sat down again and looked around awkwardly.
Who is her son?
She waited for Ji Yingying and the others to continue talking, hoping to find out where her son was.
[Over the years, she's been constantly stirred up by that person's maid, who has been beating and verbally abusing her son. It's unbelievable. If she were to acknowledge him now, she'd likely face even more vengeful retaliation.]
