Chapter Twenty-Nine: Nothing to do tonight, just listening to music in the brothel.
"Ji Yingying, what do you think about how to handle the Baohe Kingdom matter?"
[What? I didn't come here to watch the show, why are you calling me again?] Although Ji Yingying didn't want to, she honestly replied, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to handle this."
Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. As long as I don't want to achieve anything significant in my career, I won't cause trouble.
Your Majesty, Crown Prince: ...Please accomplish great feats, and I'll grant you an official position and rewards!
[However, I can be a spectator. One of these three was once an imperial envoy, and his family had a large amount of government silver hidden away. It was because of this government salt that they dared to act recklessly. To put it bluntly, it was the emperor who fostered their insatiable greed.]
The emperor was furious and threw the memorial down again.
Fortunately, Ji Yingying got used to it, after all, in her mind, this emperor was someone who could be enraged at any time.
"Tian Boda, take two boxes of jewelry and thirty pigs to Baohe Kingdom as an apology. Also, General Mu, take 100,000 troops to escort them to the border. Once you reach the border, this letter is for you. Take it. If the Emperor of Baohe is unwilling to accept it, then show this letter to him."
Tian Boda reached out and took it: "Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission."
[This Lord Tian is actually a pretty good person. The Emperor of Baohe Kingdom should accept this open scheme, after all, he still wants to rely on the Tianyou Dynasty to take over the small neighboring country.]
If it weren't for this, the Emperor of Baohe Kingdom wouldn't have shown any mercy to those three scoundrels.
Knowing that they would accept, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and waved for them to leave.
Once outside the Imperial Study, Ji Yingying ran faster than a thief, and the ministers following behind couldn't stop her even if they wanted to chat with her.
"What... what's going on? Why are you running so fast?" The Crown Prince also came out. He had started practicing calligraphy today, so naturally he came out to catch someone.
"I didn't know either. I was just about to ask Lord Ji to stay."
"Hmm!" Ning Qingran planned to go and catch the person himself. He wanted to finish writing the large characters as soon as possible so that he could go back and accompany the Crown Princess.
Ji Yingying came out of the palace and unintentionally passed by a roast duck shop. The smell was so good that she was immediately tripped by the aroma.
"Granny Xia, stop the car. I want to eat here."
Granny Xia looked up at the sign and said with difficulty, "Miss, this won't do. Let's go back to eat. Madam has already prepared lunch at home."
"Why not? The food here is pretty good." Ji Yingying got out of the car and stood at the entrance of the shop, which was named Liuxiangju.
The roast duck smelled so good; she hadn't had it in a long time.
This time, I'm determined to eat my fill.
"Let's go in and take a look." Ji Yingying went inside, and the decorations were very beautiful, truly "elegant"!
It's similar to a modern-day quiet bar, and although it sells roast duck, the men inside are dressed in very interesting ways!
What should be revealed was revealed, and what shouldn't be revealed was also partially shown, and some ladies even got to enjoy it.
[Oh my, this is interesting!] When Granny Xia heard Ji Yingying's thoughts, she was immediately alarmed.
"Miss, let's go back." She tried her best to stop her, but she couldn't!
"Go back? I've been in the capital for so long, and it's rare to come across such a fun duck restaurant. What's wrong with me eating some duck?"
Just then, someone came to entertain her. The person didn't mind Ji Yingying's young age at all; on the contrary, they treated her with great care.
"Are you the manager here?"
"Yes, is there anything you need, Miss?"
"Hmm, let's have a private room, then a roast duck, and two singers and dancers to entertain me..." After saying that, Ji Yingying took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from her pocket.
"Oh~" The shopkeeper took the silver note and immediately had someone take her upstairs and arrange for someone to help her.
Ji Yingying had only taken two steps when she turned back and said, "Don't try anything funny with me, I don't like that."
"Wow~" It's true that money is good. Ji Yingying was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's service.
Once inside the private room, Granny Xia tried her best to dissuade them, but to no avail. She then sent someone back to the mansion to report the situation.
I just hope that the master and mistress will arrive soon.
"Come, Granny, sit down and have some tea. This tea is quite good." Ji Yingying pulled Granny Xia, who had been talking, to sit down. Soon after, the roast duck was served, along with two men—no! They should be young masters.
No wonder the shopkeeper dared to serve a child like her; it turns out he was prepared for this!
"Shopkeeper," Ji Yingying called out, and the shopkeeper immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I'm here!"
"These two kids, I don't need them, give me one instead~." Ji Yingying suddenly spotted a male bodhisattva who was the apple of her eye.
"Let him come in and sing."
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but he still agreed and brought the person in.
"My name is Ji Bai. I wonder what kind of music Your Highness would like to hear?" This male bodhisattva's voice was really good; at least, Ji Yingying liked it.
"How about one of your best songs?" Ji Yingying had already started eating the duck. She hadn't expected the roast duck here to be so delicious.
Wow, this is amazing! The roast duck is delicious, and the guy is handsome too. What a wonderful day!
Before Ji Yingying could even savor her wonderful life, the door was kicked open, and the Imperial City Guard surrounded the area.
The shopkeeper was terrified. Who on earth was this young lady? Even Ji Bai, who was singing halfway through the song, dared not move.
This is the newly established Imperial City Guard. I heard that the Emperor recently established the Imperial City Guard. These people are ruthless. When they make a move, it's definitely a matter of beheading.
"Your Highness, Father and Mother, what brings you here?" Ji Yingying greeted the visitors immediately upon seeing them. "Come on, let me tell you, the ducks here are really delicious, and you can even listen to music. This man is quite handsome, though I don't really like the music, but it's still quite nice to listen to."
Having said that, he continued, ignoring the three men's terrible expressions, "Oh, Your Highness, you brought our whole family to the capital, why didn't you tell me about this top-notch roast duck restaurant here?"
"Ji Yingying, do you know where you are?" Fang Yulan was furious. Once the ruler was raised, Ji Yingying didn't dare to move.
[Oh my goodness, what's going on? She even brought out the ruler? Did I make her angry? Surely not? I just wanted to eat some roast duck and maybe catch a glimpse of the male idol. I've been here for ten years, and I haven't seen a male idol in ten years! Won't I even get to see one?]
Ah~
The Crown Prince didn't understand what "male Bodhisattva" meant, but Ji Cailiang and Fang Yulan did. Before she was five years old, she had been thinking about handsome young men and so-called "male Bodhisattvas." Later, they tried to correct her, but unexpectedly, instead of correcting her, they made her hide away.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"You come here and go back to your place. From now on, go straight home after court. If you dare to cause trouble outside, I'll break your legs."
"Mother, I am a fifth-rank official, and you are making me lose face."
"How dare you say that?" The ruler was about to strike when the Crown Prince and Ji Cailiang tried to stop Ji Yingying from being hit, but Ji Yingying said, "There was nothing to do tonight. So what if I listened to music at the brothel? I didn't do anything!"
