Chapter 279 Conquering Haixiang Kingdom and Sailing South to the Western Ocean
In the end, it was the Ji family who came forward to apologize, and only then was the matter considered closed.
Before this, Fang Yulan was so angry that she died and fell ill. At the end of August, Yun Xiaofan gave birth to a son, and at the end of September, Yanni gave birth to a daughter.
The family has gained a son and a daughter.
Although it was lively and bustling, Ji Cailiang and his wife were not so happy.
At the end of October, Ji Yingying brought back good news: the Hai Xiang Kingdom had been conquered, and this matriarchal society had come to an end. However, Ji Yingying still allowed them to retain their matriarchal society.
The imperial court sent female officials over, and the entire Hai Xiang Kingdom was now under their control.
I thought Ji Yingying would be back after the war, but she made an excuse, saying she was too tired and needed to rest, and that it was not advisable to go out to sea in winter.
And so they stayed in Haixiang City.
Starting in December, Ji Yingying and Mu Kaiji began planning their voyage to the Western Ocean.
In the past six months, her team has become well-trained and can handle situations like tsunamis.
[Xiangxiang, let's gossip, I need to earn merit.] She hasn't accumulated enough merit over the past year, so whenever she has free time, she goes out to gossip with others. She needs to accumulate merit, otherwise, if something happens, she will feel very guilty.
【No problem!】Sitting in a shop on the street, Ji Yingying ordered a coconut chicken and watched the people coming and going on the street.
[Host, that man has contracted a disease, syphilis. His wife doesn't know yet; if she found out, she'd probably beat him to death.]
Oh, you've been flirting with women on the side?
Yes, he was beaten by his wife several times, and he became afraid, which is why he sought out other women. Also, he wanted money.
Oh~
[Hey, host, that woman and that man over there are having an affair, and they're even pretending to be incestuous.]
Goodness, this Hai Xiang Kingdom is in quite a mess. There's so much drama just from these common people.
[Host, host, that woman is a robber, and she has murder on her hands.]
Ji Yingying immediately looked over and saw a tall and imposing woman. After all, she was really tall, almost like a man compared to the women of Tianyou Dynasty.
Who did he kill?
[My dear parents!]
[Tell me what happened?] Ji Yingying has already sent people to control that woman, and they're just waiting for the evidence to be obtained so they can behead her.
Her parents treated her very well, but she had a habit of stealing chickens and dogs since she was a child, and then she developed a habit of stealing needles as she grew up, which she couldn't change. One time, her parents caught her and tried to persuade her, but their words were a bit harsh, which led to her accidentally killing her parents.
After killing the person, she buried them inside the house, afraid that others would discover it.
Ji Yingying immediately sent Rong Yi to handle the situation, and soon enough, they found two corpses in that woman's house.
This matter was handed over to the newly arrived female official.
The female officials were all afraid of Ji Yingying, fearing that she would expose their secrets, since she also had someone she secretly admired.
Fortunately, Ji Yingying didn't say much.
In fact, Ji Yingying had long known that she had a crush on someone and that her love was unrequited, but she just didn't reveal it.
[I feel like this place is really like a matriarchal world, except it's missing the element of men giving birth.]
This is a matriarchal world; as for men having children, that's something you'll probably have to do in a matriarchal world.
Just as Ji Yingying was about to continue eating melon with Xiangxiang, Mu Kaiji came to report that the Emperor had issued a third imperial edict, ordering her to return.
After being urged three times, Ji Yingying claimed to be seriously ill and refused to go back.
This infuriated the Xuande Emperor, but what could he do?
It wasn't until March of the following year that Ji Yingying finally set sail for the Western Ocean in a single ship.
He also left a letter for the Xuande Emperor.
The letter read: Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely return safely in less than two years. The naval envoy has already set sail. See you again in two years. I will miss you and the young prince.
Also, please tell my parents: you must take good care of yourself.
Also, I'll help you check your pulse every month for good health. I look forward to meeting you in two years.
Although it was said to be two years, Ji Yingying actually ran away for three years, and only returned to the territory of Tianyou Dynasty at the age of eighteen.
Along the way, they encountered a shipwreck, sharks, and also found a lot of good stuff.
From one ship to two, then three.
The journey was arduous, and the city lord initially thought it was an enemy attack, only to find out that it was his own Prince Jin who had returned.
The dozen or so ships were carrying a great deal of cargo.
Coincidentally, the Emperor was on a tour of the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone present was shocked to see what was being unloaded from the ships. It took more than a dozen ships three days and three nights to unload the cargo.
"Rong Er, Rong Yi, you two take the boat to its destination and leave someone to guard it."
"yes"
"Your Majesty, look at these things, they are all very nice. Do you like them?" Ji Yingying showed the Emperor the items.
[Hehe, actually all the good stuff is in my and Kaiji's online spaces.]
[Host, could you please not say that? You did keep a lot in your space, but you also bought a lot for Emperor Xuande. With your ability to spoil Emperor Xuande, you could bring back anything good you could find.]
【hehe. 】
"Your Majesty, it's been so many years! Let's drink until we drop tonight, and the Empress is here too!" Ji Yingying hugged the two of them and started to act coquettishly.
[The Empress is pregnant with her third child; she can't drink it.] Ji Yingying was shocked. Two children in three years—this Emperor is something else!
"Alright, alright, I won't drink anymore. By the way, when are we going back? I'll tell you guys about it later. We're going to set up a caravan to transport our goods there for sale. It'll be very profitable."
I have already explored the route and trained many navigators. Now it's up to His Majesty to see if he can control it.
Emperor Xuande thought to himself, "I will definitely catch him."
"Let's go back first."
"Alright!"
On the way back, Ji Yingying looked at Ning Qingran and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you've aged a lot. I still remember how handsome you were when you sneaked into my room to ask for help. Now, you've grown a beard and look much older."
The Xuande Emperor was almost thirty years old, how could he not be?
"You..." Emperor Xuande was really angry with her. If you asked who in the world could make him so angry, it would only be Ji Yingying.
"The Empress has also gained weight, but you two are still so loving, that's good, that's good."
Empress: ...What do you mean she's fat! She's pregnant.
Back at the palace, all the officials from the six ministries were there. Lord He had retired, and his father had taken over the Ministry of Revenue. Standing at the head of all the officials, he saw his daughter, and his eyes reddened.
Ji Jiaming took over the Ministry of Justice. Minister He of the Ministry of Justice retired a year ago and is now enjoying his retirement in the capital. His children were originally not very talented.
Because Ji Yingying was known for her willingness to fight anyone who disagreed, she fought until they submitted, and now she has achieved some success in the officialdom.
"Oh, Dad, Big Brother, boohoo..." Ji Yingying threw herself into Ji Cailiang's arms.
"Dad, I miss you so much."
Ji Cailiang couldn't help but tear up as well.
