"I'm not eating. Why don't you come home for dinner after court? Why are you always running around?" Fang Yulan poked her head in exasperation.
Ever since she was allowed to attend court, she has been unable to control people.
"I really want to lock you up at home. Aren't you afraid that if you go out and run into your enemies, they'll kill you?"
Upon hearing that she had an enemy, Ji Yingying's eyes widened.
"Mother, tell me, did my father offend someone, or did my eldest brother offend someone? If neither, then it must be my second brother. My second brother is a Qingwei (a type of guard), and he will kill people when necessary, right?"
[They're looking for revenge. They must have offended someone they shouldn't have.]
[Not necessarily, what if it wasn't someone we shouldn't have offended?] It's hard to say.
“Neither…” Who else but you would offend someone like this?
"That's my second sister-in-law, mother. It doesn't matter. She's a family member. We can't abandon her just because she offended someone!" After saying that, she glanced around with a heavy heart and then asked, "Mother, who did my second sister-in-law offend?"
"What nonsense! Your second sister-in-law is not like you, going out all day long."
"That's right, my second sister-in-law doesn't go out, so she can't offend anyone. So who is she?"
Then...then Ji Yingying saw her mother staring intently at her.
"Hiss~ No way, no way, did I offend someone?" Ji Yingying began to figure out who she had offended?
[Xiangxiang, check if the badger in the melon patch is because of my melons?]
[No, you can't eat melons that are familiar to you, unless...]
Unless what?
[Unless you return to your hometown.]
[Xinhe County... No, is it Ningcheng Village? It's so far away, I don't want to go back.]
[Then don't worry about it. I haven't eaten anything that will kill you yet.]
"Mother, I haven't offended anyone. I'm always respectful to the Emperor. I do whatever he tells me to do. I'm almost like the Emperor's knife. I can do whatever he wants in the Ministry of Works. Yesterday, when I went to see him, the Emperor even schemed against me to provide me with food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Look how obedient I am, so there's no way I could offend the Emperor."
"My immediate superiors are treating me well, so my colleagues are. I plan to go to their homes every day starting tomorrow. I want to see who is trying to kill me."
[Ridiculous! You have time to visit other people, but don't forget, the Emperor ordered you to look after the estate.]
[...That old devil Deng, a capitalist!]
Fang Yulan: …………You still dare to say that you have not offended the emperor? Look how dirty your curses are.
The emperor is very merciful by not blaming you.
"Alright, alright, it's time to go back. Stop running around all day. Your birthday is coming soon. This year, I'm afraid you'll have to celebrate it in the palace or at your princess's residence."
"The Princess's Residence?"
"Yes, I went to see it at the beginning of the month. It's been renovated very well, and we're just waiting for you to move in."
Ji Yingying remembered that she had never been there, and didn't know where it was.
"My birthday is still a long way off, it's June 1st, and it's not even May yet, how could my birthday be so early?"
It was still early, and Ji Yingying felt she should go and stay at the princess's residence sometime. Now that she had her own house, she could live there from now on.
【Hehe～】
[Host, why are you smiling so obscenely? ]
If I live in the princess's residence, my mother won't know if I stay out all night or go out to play, and she won't have to worry about me so strictly anymore.
[Host, you are such a fool! My mother just said that you offended someone and threatened their life, yet you still wanted to go out and have fun. If you died outside that day and were treated to bone powder, who would be sadder for you, or your mother?]
[We're all heartbroken, and I'm heartbroken too. But I have the truth: no matter how fast his martial arts are, can they outrun my Gatling gun?]
[Where did you get that Gatling gun?] Xiangxiang had never seen a Gatling gun in her space.
[Yes, I have one, and I also have grenades.]
"Okay, let's go back!" Fang Yulan led the people out and said goodbye to the Fifth Prince and the Fifth Prince's wife. After coming out, she met two people pulling a bicycle.
The bicycle was covered in mud, which was stuck in the wheels and made it impossible to move.
Having a bicycle is great, but this road is terrible; look how muddy it is, it's jammed up everywhere... I'll get the Emperor some good stuff later.
Is this a cement road?
[Yes, let's give the Ministry of Industry a few more challenges. I heard they're planning to select a larger group of people to join the Ministry this year, so I'll give them a few more challenges.]
Good fellow...
After returning home, Ji Yingying actually went to the mall to find out how to make cement and how to build roads.
After all, I have lived in the home of the Infrastructure Madman before, so I have to come up with one or two of them now.
[Host, have you really figured out how to make a cement road?]
【I can't make it, I can contribute! 】
What a joke! She's not cut out for this. She can only learn a little bit of everything and doesn't understand anything. What's the point?
The next day, when the emperor went to court, Ji Yingying was the first to stand up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. I have a very good road for you. Would you like to take a look?"
I heard it was a very good way to build roads.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and listened intently, eager to know what was going on—that method of road repair?
[Host, many people are watching, wanting to see how this road repair method works.]
Ji Yingying immediately glanced around and it seemed that many people really wanted to know the news.
"Good, good, this is a good idea." The emperor handed it to the prince, who was also very excited after reading it.
"This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Works. As for the money..." The Emperor was troubled again; he was afraid there wouldn't be enough money.
"Yingying, what should we do with this silver?"
"Do we need to deal with the money?" Ji Yingying asked back. If you have money, spend it; if you don't, don't use it. What else can we do?
[He was asking about not having money, no, not having enough money, what to do? ]
What can I do? I guess I'll just have to accept it. I don't have any money, and even if I did, I couldn't afford it; it's a lot of money.
[That’s right, we don’t even have enough money for snacks.]
"Oh dear, I was referring to the money for road repairs. Do you have any other ideas?"
Ji Yingying immediately shook her head warily: "There's no way, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
After saying that, he just returned it without caring about what happened next. The money has been given anyway, so you can do whatever you want!
【Xiangxiang, eat melon, pick a melon to eat.】
Alright, let's eat Eunuch Cao's food!
Eunuch Cao was immediately panicked. What could he possibly be doing? He hadn't done anything wrong recently.
People panicked, and their hands started shaking.
What's the juicy gossip surrounding Eunuch Cao? Wasn't he supposed to be quite loyal?
[He's loyal, but that doesn't stop him from having melons. We can eat other melons.]
