"Mmm~ Mother, what is this? It looks delicious!" It seems to be a vegetarian dish, but there are only a few kinds of vegetarian dishes in this era. Could there be something she hasn't eaten before?
"Wild vegetables!"
"Wild vegetables?" Ji Yingying was shocked. They were wild vegetables, and they tasted so good.
"What kind of wild vegetable is it?" Ji Yingying recalled the wild vegetables she had eaten. It seemed that there was no such wild vegetable, and this kind of wild vegetable was not bitter.
"It seems to be called monkey leg dish."
"Monkey leg vegetable? Oh~ bracken, no wonder."
"You know him?"
"We've met, we've eaten together."
[This was my favorite part of eating cold dishes in my past life.]
"If you like it, just eat it." Fang Yulan picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks, accompanied Ji Yingying to eat, and then took a walk with her before going back to rest.
As soon as she left, Ji Yingying changed again, which made Granny Xia start to doubt herself.
When his wife is around, he's an obedient girl; when she's not around, he's a mischievous monkey.
well!
Only the lady can control her.
She slept soundly through the night, but was still forced to get up and go to work the next day. As soon as she stepped out the door, her cousin appeared in front of Ji Yingying.
"Cousin, I heard you have to go to court today, so I specially made a bowl of steamed egg custard. Please eat it before you go to court."
Ji Yingying hadn't even opened her eyes, so Granny Xia had to say, "Miss, His Highness's court time is approaching, and there might not be time to eat this steamed egg custard."
"If my cousin goes to court without eating breakfast, she won't be able to handle it."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yingying slightly opened her eyes to take a look, then closed them again.
"Please move aside, Miss Cousin. His Highness's morning court is almost here. I cannot afford to miss it."
"But... I'm worried..." Before she could finish her words, Fang Yulan's voice came over, saying, "What are you worried about? Yingying has been attending court for almost half a year. Did you let her go out hungry that day?"
"What do you mean by blocking my way here?"
"Aunt, I didn't. I just saw that my cousin got up late today and was worried that she hadn't had breakfast, so I wanted her to finish her breakfast before going to court."
"Besides, we women don't have much to do at court, so the emperor won't blame us if we arrive a little late."
Ji Yingying yawned, motioning Nanny Xia to put her down, then said, "What kind of psychopath did you come from? There's nothing wrong with women attending court? Where did your thinking come from? The old society? It's already 131 years, and there are already two women in the court and four accountants."
Ji Yingying couldn’t remember the accounting position, but it was accounting anyway.
"Your brain is wrapped around your cerebellum."
"Cousin, I..."
"It's alright, cousin. I won't go to court today. Anyway, you're staying at our house. Who knows, you might get a share of the beheading later."
"I... Cousin, hurry up and go, I'm not eating this steamed egg custard." Upon hearing about beheading, Yang Dani was terrified. She thought only Ji Yingying would be punished, but she didn't expect it would be the whole family.
"I'm not going. It's nice for our family to have a companion on the road to the underworld. Don't worry, I will tell the King of Hell the cause of our death when we get there."
After saying that, Ji Yingying went straight into the house. To hell with it, she didn't want to go to work today anyway, and since this bastard wanted to die, she might as well scare her.
"I... No, no, cousin, I didn't. I was really worried that you were hungry. Cousin, it's getting late. Let's go to court quickly."
Once the door was closed, Ji Yingying ignored Yang Dani's calls from the doorway.
Seeing that no one came out, Yang Dani looked at Fang Yulan. Fang Yulan snorted and looked at her with disgust.
"Aunt, Aunt, please persuade my cousin."
"I can't persuade her. Yingying is right. If we're going to die, the whole family will die together. No one will be able to leave." After saying that, Fang Yulan left directly. It was too late. Unless the palace sent someone, her little darling probably wouldn't want to leave the house.
Forget it.
After Fang Yulan left, Ji Yingying's door was also closed, leaving Yang Dani standing at the door, at a loss.
But she didn't know what to do, so she went back to her room.
On the way, I heard a maid say, "Our cousin is so shameless. She watched His Highness leave with a bowl of egg custard. Then the Emperor and the Crown Prince were furious. It wasn't His Highness who was blamed, but her!"
"That's right. The whole capital knows that our princess is the emperor's and the crown prince's darling, and also their weapon. They can use her to attack anyone they want. So many people have died because of our princess. These days, no one dares to mess with her, not even the emperor!"
"That's right, that's right. Our clueless young lady is so bold as to dare to offend our prince."
"I think she had ten lives chopped off."
"That's not the case. Our Highness is a very kind person, otherwise he wouldn't have ensured that the people have enough food and clothing. I heard that if it weren't for the floor heating that our Highness prepared last winter, many people would have died. Anyway, how many people can have enough food and clothing now?"
The maids walked away, but Yang Dani was scared. She squatted in the corner and trembled. Yes, she did it on purpose. She just couldn't stand seeing Ji Yingying like this.
Why is it that the two of them are only a few years apart in age? She is fifteen years old this year, only four years older than Ji Yingying, but she has become an official.
How can a woman become an official?
Moreover, not only was she an official, she was also spoiled by the whole family. However, she was humiliated and ridiculed by the whole family as soon as she arrived. She just wanted to kill Ji Yingying.
But, how could she... be so powerful?
Just as she was about to go back to her room, she heard that the palace eunuchs had arrived, and she was so frightened that she ran back to her room immediately.
It was indeed a eunuch who came; it was Eunuch Cao. The Emperor had learned of what had happened today and had directly sent Eunuch Cao to deliver the imperial edict, which also emphasized that Yang Dani must be present.
When Fang Yulan found out, she immediately sent someone to call Yang Dani. Yang Dani didn't want to come, but she couldn't resist being dragged over.
Eunuch Cao only gave oral instructions, asking Yang Dani to mind her own business and asking Fang Yulan to get married quickly, and even set a date.
After Fang Yulan received the order, Eunuch Cao immediately had someone stand up and asked, "Where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Yingying, she's still sleeping. I bet she slacked off again last night." Fang Yulan knew that Eunuch Cao was reminding Yang Dani.
"Oh! Please trouble Granny Xia to carry the person out. It's time to go to the palace. I have many things to ask Her Highness the Princess today."
"Okay, Eunuch Cao, please wait a moment."
Not long after, Nanny Xia brought out Ji Yingying, who was sleeping soundly. Fang Yulan could only shake her head helplessly when she saw this.
After watching them leave, Fang Yulan said to Yang Dani, "Dani, you heard it too. The wedding date is set. As for the person, your aunt will find you one today. You are not of a high status and cannot marry into a wealthy family, so don't blame your aunt."
"Dani, I understand, Aunt. Just now, my father-in-law called my cousin Princess. My cousin is..."
“That’s right. Your cousin is the Princess Protector of the Nation, personally appointed by the Emperor. She has a lot of official duties, so don’t bother her unless you have to. I can’t control her, but the Emperor won’t let you off the hook.”
"Dani knows!" She almost peed her pants when she heard the five words "Princess Protector of the Nation"!
