The emperor was so happy that he signed a new 15-year agreement to use the salt lake.
After the envoys from Haixiang Kingdom left, the emperor asked Eunuch Cao to arrange a small table for Ji Yingying to write down the method of glass making.
"Yingying, why don't you go back? Just stay here and write down the method for making glass. It's perfect timing, I need to review the memorials soon."
【What?】
[Writing this at this time, how worried is he about me? ]
【Then go ahead and write it. It's no big deal. You can go back after you're done.】
Eunuch Cao made the arrangements immediately, and she had no choice but to get to work listlessly. While the Emperor reviewed the memorials, she slacked off at her seat.
She took out a storybook from the space and looked at it. The way she was slacking off almost made the emperor believe that she had written the plan seriously.
When I'm enjoying the show, I don't dare to laugh; it's incredibly difficult to hold it in.
【I'm so miserable! I'm such a pitiful little flower~】 Ji Yingying kept brainwashing herself, and then wrote two more words, completely multitasking.
[Host, you're really in a terrible situation!]
Ji Yingying: ...what happened to her?
However, Ji Yingying did not respond, but continued to watch.
"Yingying, how much have you written?"
"Hmm, I haven't written much yet, I'm looking up information!" Ji Yingying casually made up an excuse to fool the Emperor, then lowered her head to continue reading.
【As long as you can wait, I can wait.】 It was lunchtime, and Ji Yingying went to eat with the Emperor. While she was in the restroom, she took the opportunity to put the dishes back in the Imperial Kitchen.
When she came out, she accidentally saw a roasted pigeon and Ji Yingying took it.
When the imperial chef returned, everyone was shocked. The pigeon he had roasted was gone. He had specially roasted it for the princess, knowing that she liked strong flavors, so he had roasted it with plenty of oil and salt.
And this roasted pigeon was accidentally given to her, but she was disgusted because the burnt pigeon was so oily.
What a waste of delicious food.
Back in the Imperial Study, Ji Yingying went straight to her seat. Since the Emperor hadn't returned, she simply lay down and went to sleep.
When the Emperor entered, just as he was about to ask where Ji Yingying was, he saw her sleeping soundly.
"The Princess is asleep," Eunuch Cao said softly, his expression and demeanor suggesting that he also quite liked Ji Yingying.
"Let her sleep!" The emperor walked over and placed a book on the table: Fubao is Seven Years Old: Daddy Kneels and Begs Mother for Forgiveness!
The emperor picked it up and began to read.
When Ji Yingying woke up, she saw that the emperor was reading her book.
[Oh my god...] Ji Yingying thought she had seen it wrong, so she rubbed her eyes quickly and checked again immediately.
You read that right.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my book?"
"Awake?" After she woke up, Eunuch Cao immediately arranged for someone to wash Ji Yingying.
"Your Majesty, my book..."
"Write down the method of making glass today, and I will return it to you."
Ji Yingying glared at him and couldn't help yawning: "Okay!"
[Luckily, I just woke up and didn't read anything else, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to concentrate on writing.]
Ji Yingying started writing. Perhaps because she had just woken up, she was in high spirits and finished writing very quickly.
"Okay, Your Majesty, can you return my book to me now?" The emperor put down the notebook and took her memorial to read.
After he finished reading it, he was very satisfied. This is really good writing!
"Yingying, this is truly a wonderful thing. I will have it arranged immediately."
"Oh...then I'll go back." Ji Yingying left the Imperial Study without waiting for his reply, and then leisurely went home.
Fang Yulan had been waiting for her at the palace gate. When she saw her come out, she let her get in the car.
"Mom, why haven't you gone home yet?"
"Mother is worried about you. How's that thief?"
"It's okay if it's a fifteen-year-old salt lake." Ji Yingying yawned.
"That's good. By the way, we found a few plates from the palace, and there are a few more..." She looked at Ji Yingying cautiously and tentatively, wanting to hear from her heart whether she wanted to return them.
They came here today to apologize. The Queen has been very tolerant of them, and she even said that it’s okay if they don’t return it.
How can I not return it?
"Oh...I went back." Ji Yingying responded casually, and Fang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. However, Ji Yingying didn't realize that Fang Yulan would not pursue the matter after she said it directly.
Upon arriving home, just as Ji Yingying was about to enter, Xiangxiang immediately said, "Host, come a little further ahead, there's a show to watch, and we can even catch some gossip."
【What?】
Ji Yingying took off running forward at lightning speed, and Fang Yulan behind her couldn't stop her.
“Child, it’s not like I’m stopping you from going.” After saying that, he turned to the maid beside him and said, “Let’s go see the play.”
…………
When I arrived at the door of a house, I saw two women standing there, one was a middle-aged woman with a thin face and yellow skin, and the other was a little girl with the same complexion.
"Lin Hu, come out here! I know you're in there. You dare to abandon your wife? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? I've been taking care of your elderly parents and your lame brother in the countryside for you, and yet you divorced your wife and remarried, abandoning me. Lin Hu, don't blame me if you don't come out..."
Who is this person? And who is Lin Hu?
[This person is Lin Hu's wife.]
[After becoming the top scholar, did he abandon his wife and children?]
No, he's a scoundrel who got rich by working as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort), and then abandoned his wife and children, even his elderly parents.
This mansion originally belonged to the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) he worked for. However, the head镖师 had no son, only a frail and sickly daughter. As the head镖师 grew older, he wanted to find a capable and good-looking man from the镖局 (escort agency) to marry his daughter and have her inherit the family business.
Then, he pretended to be single and went with the group of men to look for a date. Perhaps his appearance matched the escort leader's daughter's taste, so she chose him. She even asked him several times if he had a wife or children, but he always replied that he didn't, even saying that he had no parents and was an orphan.
Lin Hu was also clever. He knew the escort leader would definitely investigate, so he paid someone to create a fake identity for him. He hid this from the escort leader and his family, and then he became a wealthy man and reached the pinnacle of his life.
[Then Lin Hu began to keep it a secret from both sides, even from his parents and younger brother, for five or six years. Then his elderly mother and father passed away, and the woman overheard that he had another family outside, so she traveled a long distance to find him.]
[Host, you must stop them! If you can't, the one inside will die, and the one outside will die too.]
Why did Lin Hu's evil deeds have to be punished on these two women? I think these two women should have teamed up to kill such a heartless man and handed him over to the authorities, regardless of the facts.
"That's your fault. If they could think this way, why would both sides die?"
While Ji Yingying was enjoying the gossip, the women inside and outside the mansion also heard her thoughts.
[The man couldn't control his lust and simply cut himself with scissors.]
