[Wow, the Emperor is quite the handsome middle-aged man! You'd never guess he's from ancient times dressed like that.]
The Emperor was pleased to be praised!
"Come, Your Majesty, watch us play a game, and then you can join in later."
After demonstrating a game to him, I saw that it was the older men playing, while the younger ones were eating and drinking as usual, looking completely carefree.
I originally thought the emperor would be done with it after one game, but he just fell in love with it.
As it grew dark, Ji Yingying stepped forward to stop him: "If you continue like this, you won't be able to return to the palace. You've already been playing for two hours. If you keep playing like this, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. Eunuch Cao, take the Emperor back."
Eunuch Cao was panicked; how could he possibly have the ability to control the Emperor?
"This is fun. Yingying, make one for me. I can play with it in the palace, and the Empress and the others can also make one for them when they are bored."
[Hehe, the Queen and the others don't want to play badminton; they're still not tired of mahjong and playing cards.]
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to make them, but these clothes and badminton rackets are too expensive. I don't have the money to make these things."
"No problem, just draw up the blueprints and have the Ministry of Works make them."
[Let the Ministry of Works do it? Does that mean it should be implemented nationwide? That's not impossible; after a good meal in the evening, when there's nothing else to do, it can be a good form of exercise. However, this would only apply to wealthy merchants.]
"Alright, I'll give it to Minister Hong later. Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Ji Yingying even packed a few mangoes in a bag for him to take back with him.
"Don't eat any more mangoes tonight. You have to attend court tomorrow, understand?" The Emperor gave him one last instruction before leaving.
"knew."
Sigh, I was originally planning to eat two, but it's okay if I feel unwell. Once I get used to it, there won't be any problems.
"Remember, you're not allowed to eat anymore." The Emperor left, and it was getting late. She had someone tidy up, and then she went back to her room to sleep.
"Ah... I have to attend court again tomorrow." Sitting on the bed, Ji Yingying was almost going crazy.
I work, work, work. I work this lousy job every day. I haven't earned much money. In fact, I've spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy sweet potatoes.
This is absolutely terrible!
[Host, don't get angry, you might get breast cancer!]
[Screw your breast cancer, do I even have breasts?]
[Hehe, I forgot, the host is still a child. Well, try your best to grow up a bit; who knows, your husband might love you when you're older.]
So far, only the detective brother is watchable. What about the others? How can someone who's tasted fine rice swallow chaff?
[Indeed, the young men of this dynasty aren't very good-looking. Only you two are decent-looking. However, host, you haven't met any of those young noblemen. You've only met the key ministers of the court.]
[Let's go back and visit those scions of prominent families. Even if we don't have Sun Wukong, we'll have Jia Baoyu. Of course, if it's Jia Baoyu, we can just observe and not take it too seriously.]
[Hehe, you're overthinking it.] Ji Yingying lay down and quickly fell asleep, probably because she had released all her mental energy from playing badminton during the day.
When Ji Yingying woke up in the morning, she was full of energy and vitality.
While Apple was helping her wash up, she said, "We should have brought out the badminton racket for Miss to use a long time ago. Look at her energy and spirit. The Emperor will definitely be pleased to see her today."
Ji Yingying rolled her eyes at her.
Hehe... I'm so busy, how could I have time to play with a racket?
There's only one thing to do at work today: the Hai Xiang Kingdom has begged for mercy. They're willing to pay tribute every year and have sent a prince to marry into the country. Now, the court is discussing which princess this prince should marry.
Not to mention the emperor has many children, including more than a dozen princesses, five or six of whom are adults.
That depends on what everyone chooses.
I don't think I've seen many princesses; the Emperor really knows how to keep them hidden.
Is that something you can't see? You can see it even if you want to, after all, you are one of the princesses now.
[Host, which princess do you think would be a good match?]
When Xiangxiang asked that question, everyone quieted down and decided to listen to what Ji Yingying had to say.
Her idea is brilliant; she might even be able to pinpoint which princess will be the one chosen for the marriage alliance.
【Heh~ How should I know? Whoever wants to marry her can marry her.】
this……
So, do you have any ideas?
No, I don't care!
My little darling! You may not care, but we do. A marriage alliance still needs someone, right?
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be settled as soon as possible. General Luo's letter says they are already on their way back, and the Hai Xiang Kingdom has sent an envoy with them."
Minister Hong was anxious. Their Ministry of War had received the news early in the morning, and if they hadn't been visiting the Ji residence yesterday, they should have discussed this matter then.
"Minister Ji, what do you think we should do?"
"Huh?" Ji Yingying, who was in a daze and picking her nose, was a little embarrassed when she heard the emperor call her.
"Yes, Lord Ji, what ideas do you have? Let's discuss them."
"I... I don't have any ideas. If we're going to do matchmaking, we can just hold a social event. Everyone can meet and see if it works out. If it doesn't, we can talk about it later."
[It's not a big deal. A pot and a lid go hand in hand. Why are you worrying about whether their pot and lid match? Even if they do match, that's their problem. Even if they don't, it's obvious at a glance!]
Immediately, everyone found it interesting.
Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that once the others arrive, we should let the princess and the prince of Haixiang Kingdom meet. If they are compatible, they can be together; if not, we can discuss it further."
“You are right, my dear minister.”
As soon as Minister He returned to his seat, he was met with several barbed gazes, but unfortunately, they failed to kill him.
"The prince of Haixiang Kingdom has arrived. Ministry of Rites, you must treat him well."
"I obey the order."
"Yes, Minister Ji, you should spend more time with him these next few days and offer him assistance."
"I obey the decree"
[Damn it, they're sending me to the Ministry of Rites again. I think it's not just my detective brother who's good at carrying bricks, I am too, and I'm even bigger bricks. A couple of days ago they sent me to the Ministry of War, and now...]
These six shows will eventually ruin your career.
[Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's not going to kill me anyway. As for the rest, I'll leave it to fate. Amitabha, thank you!]
[Are you crazy? Want some melon seeds?]
What melon?
[A crazy story about a yandere.]
Ji Yingying's eyes lit up: [Tell me quickly!]
"See those guards at the door?" Ji Yingying turned her head slightly, and there were indeed two guards standing guard at the door.
[The one on the right, he's a lunatic, he's into forced sex!]
"What? What forced love? Tell me quickly." Ji Yingying even took out some melon seeds.
This is comparable to modern yandere novels; it's just a matter of who comes out on top.
[He liked a girl, and when that girl confessed her feelings to another guard, he just snatched her away on the spot.]
