Ji Yingying sighed helplessly, rolled her eyes at him, and couldn't help but scold, "[You call yourself Imperial Uncle? You're acting like a child. Where's your shame?]"
[Host, you're the same way, always doing things haphazardly. You and the Prince of Qi shouldn't be looking after each other like older brothers.]
【hehe……】
"King Qi, take your men to attack this place. Tell me, you are in such a rich place like Jiangnan, and they have raised an army right under your nose, and you didn't even know about it."
"Hehe, I didn't care about things before, but now I do. I'll take people there right now..."
"Wait a minute, let me tell you..." Ji Yingying continued to offer him suggestions, and King Qi was very satisfied after listening to them.
"Okay, then I'll do it the way you said. Just wait for me and I'll get it done for you in less than two days."
After the King of Qi left, Ji Jiayu came over and said, "Sister, those wealthy businessmen are here and are all waiting in the front hall. Do you want to go and meet them?"
"Huh? I won't see them, but you will. You should have them donate money and food." Ji Yingying told him her idea.
After everyone left, Xiangxiang said, "Why did you let your second brother meet those merchants?"
[This is too exhausting, I don't want to see them. Besides, my second brother can handle it. I'll only step in if things get really bad. Now, let's go out and see what's going on.]
After leaving the government office, the streets looked much more comfortable.
Hmm, this street looks pretty good. With a little more tidying up, it'll probably look even better.
"Then we'll just have to wait until next spring."
[Host, there's some melon over there, want to go get some?]
Ji Yingying was about to go over when she suddenly smelled a really strong fragrance in the air.
[What's that smell? It smells so good!] Ji Yingying sniffed it and realized it was the smell of chestnuts.
"Someone's selling chestnuts at this hour?" Ji Yingying wondered, following the aroma.
Soon I saw a few children squatting in the corner roasting some grasshoppers over a fire.
"Little brother, what are you grilling?"
The children were stunned. They couldn't eat the food he baked. If the adults at home knew about it, they would scold them to death.
"No, we have nothing, nothing to roast." The two children hid all the grasshoppers.
The fear in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Okay, you didn't bake anything, but I saw it all. Show me."
After saying that, he grabbed it directly. Rong Yi who was following beside him said: Princess, do you still remember your identity?
When Ji Yingying snatched the grasshopper, she was stunned. She thought it was a chestnut, but it turned out to be a grasshopper.
"Such delicious food, do you still have it? I want to try it too."
[Host, those are insects!]
【I know, it's nutritious, especially when grilled or fried, it's incredibly delicious, something you can't get.】
[I told you to stop focusing on eating and see if you're still going to eat that melon over there.]
【eat! 】
"Here is one or two taels of silver. Give me these two or three grasshoppers." Ji Yingying even roasted them again to make sure they were cooked before preparing to eat them.
Before he could enter, Rong Yi stopped him.
"Sir, you can't eat this. It's poisonous."
"It's not poisonous and it's delicious. Do you want one?" Ji Yingying wanted to give him one, but Rongyi refused and stopped her from eating it.
He even threatened, "If Your Highness eats it, I will tell Madam Ji when I get back."
"Oh... You use my mother to pressure me, you have such a cruel heart." Ji Yingying was so angry. Does everyone think that she is afraid of Fang Yulan?
"I'm telling you, it's useless. I'm not afraid of my mother. I'm just respecting her. You can't control me."
【I'm so pissed off.】
"Your Highness, you can't eat it." Rong Yi kept stopping her and even snatched it away when Ji Yingying was a little reluctant, saying that she couldn't eat it if she didn't want to.
【Ugh... I'm so angry, Xiangxiang, I'm so mad! I ate that and nothing happened to me.】
[Host, don't be angry. Let's go eat some melon seeds (gossip/gossip), it'll cheer us up.]
No, I want to eat some melon seeds (gossip/gossip).
Ji Yingying was about to go back when a candied haws appeared in front of her the next second.
"Your Highness, this is an apology!" Rong Yi was also afraid, mainly because this little ancestor knew too much and he was afraid that he would not be able to coax him.
"Okay, for the sake of the candied haws, I forgive you." Fortunately, fortunately, the person is still easy to coax.
[Can we go eat some melon seeds now?]
"Okay, let's go."
Forgetting about not having eaten grasshoppers earlier, he ate a candied hawthorn and sat down at a table in a street vendor's shop: "Come on, tell me what's going on."
Did you see that girl over there?
[I saw her, what happened to her?]
She is the current city lord's mistress, his beloved, and the one he cherishes most. He hasn't married her yet because of his shrewish wife. The woman the city lord is currently married to was forced upon him by his mother.
In truth, the city lord doesn't love his current wife at all; he only loves that other woman.
Oh, that's interesting. Tell me what happened!
There are no more melon seeds in the space, and the supermarket has been closed. It is estimated that it will not open in the short term.
It’s so uncomfortable to eat melon without seeds!
[It was when the city lord was out and about, before he became the top scholar in the imperial examinations, that he encountered danger. This young woman saved him, but what he didn't know was that the accident was orchestrated by the young woman before him.]
[She also had her eye on the city lord, believing he was destined for great success. She thought that by hooking up with him now, she might be able to enjoy wealth and status in the future.]
[And then?] The two were studying the person opposite them, unaware that a group of people were already waiting behind them to hear the gossip!
No one said a word, just followed Ji Yingying and listened to the story of the woman opposite.
This is exactly as it is said in the storybook!
[Then she used her own money to hire someone to rob the city lord, and then she stepped in to shield him from harm. From then on, the city lord fell in love with the woman who shielded him. Not only that, he originally wanted to marry her, but unexpectedly, his family arranged a marriage for him, catching him completely off guard.]
He wanted to back out, but his own parents locked him up. He tried to starve himself, but ended up eating his fill. He considered suicide, but was afraid of the pain. So he tricked the woman into becoming his mistress. The woman was clever; she knew she wouldn't get anything good from him, and after much hardship, she agreed.
She also did something truly outrageous.
What's the matter?
[They gave the city lord a drug that would prevent him from having children.]
[What? Does the city lord have a child?] They dare to administer this kind of medicine? Are they so afraid of running out of money?
Yes, she got pregnant, gave birth to one child, and then the second one wasn't the city lord's; the city lord had another child with her, a boy.
[Have any of the city lord's wives and concubines given birth?] Ji Yingying found it amusing. If they have, wouldn't there be many cuckolds?
One green hat today, one green hat tomorrow, all hats are green!
There will be another chapter later.
