The next day, Ji Yingying woke up in the large bed of the princess's residence. It was her birthday, so she had to get up very early in the morning.
"Granny, I'm not of marriageable age yet, why am I here so early?"
"Your Highness, although this is not your coming-of-age birthday, it is your first time celebrating your birthday in the capital. The Emperor and the Crown Prince are very concerned about you, so this is naturally going to be a grand celebration."
Not only did there only have to be three or four maids now, but there were also several maids, all of whom were busy.
"Okay! Then you guys tinker with it!" Ji Yingying was still sleepy and hadn't gotten enough sleep. She had recently fallen in love with playing chess and had dragged her second sister-in-law to play for a long time last night.
In the end, it was the second brother, who was working the night shift, who came back and took his sister-in-law back to rest, and warned her not to drag Yanni to stay up all night.
Playing chess is so much fun. I knew how to play it before, but I didn’t want to play it before. Now I find it interesting and I never get tired of it.
After she finished her makeup and went outside, she saw Mu Kaiji, who circled around her twice and said, "You're a young girl, but you look quite pretty when you dress up."
"Are you saying that I was ugly before?"
"No, I wouldn't dare. Let's go out and see, they're almost here."
"I don't know how many people were invited. Since we have a child celebrating his birthday, the children should be the ones who come."
Hearing this, Mu Kaiji couldn't help but smile, but didn't say much.
[Sigh! Xiangxiang has been updating for almost a month now, why isn't she back? Is she going to disappear? That won't do! I'll get bored.]
Xiangxiang hasn't updated back yet.
Mu Kaiji was also somewhat shocked, thinking that the update had already been resumed.
When she arrived at the main hall, her parents, second brother and sister-in-law were all there, and even Ji Sasa had returned.
"Sister Sasa, you're back?"
"Well, when I heard it was your birthday, I naturally came back. This is a birthday present for you."
Ji Yingying quickly took it, put it in her pocket, and threw it into the space the next second.
"Thank you, Sister Sasa. You're back just in time. This is my brother, Detective Mu Kaiji. Please get to know him. I told you I'd introduce you to him before."
The two are a good age match and look quite nice together.
Ji Sasa looked up, then nodded, quite naturally.
Mu Kaiji was the same!
"Okay, now that you've met, talk more about it later. Who knows, maybe it will work out and you'll have a big fat boy next year!"
Mu Kaiji couldn't help but poke her, and Ji Sasa's face turned red.
Before long, guests arrived. They were mostly colleagues who were officials in the court, as well as many visitors. There were quite a lot of people.
When the banquet was about to start, the emperor, the crown prince, the empress, the crown princess, and several concubines from the harem all arrived, bringing a whole cart of birthday gifts.
"Wow~ so many?" Ji Yingying almost doubted herself when she saw the car full of gifts.
Is this some kind of gift sent to me after emptying the palace?
If Xiangxiang were here, she would definitely scold, "Host, you're overthinking it!" Unfortunately, Xiangxiang is still updating.
With the Emperor present, most people didn't dare to cause a ruckus, but the usual activities still took place, such as singing, dancing, and performing talents.
The princesses and princes also have gifts for her!
"Your Majesty, we are in a good mood today, let's set off fireworks." After dinner, Ji Yingying took out fireworks, and soon the sky began to bloom with colorful lights!
"The last time I saw these fireworks was during the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect to see them again here."
When the fireworks were almost finished, an express letter was sent back from a thousand miles away, saying that they had won another battle against the Linfeng Kingdom and the other side wanted to surrender.
"Yingying, do you think we should accept surrender?" The emperor suddenly asked Ji Yingying. No one dared to speak. Others did not know Ji Yingying, but her colleagues in the court all knew her!
Also waiting for Ji Yingying's answer!
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you, has our army attacked the people of Linfeng Kingdom?"
"According to the battle report, no action was taken against the people of Linfeng Country."
"Did they kill innocent civilians or attack surrendering soldiers?"
"Of course not. Just say what you want to say!" Your Majesty, I am eager to know the answer.
"Since you don't have any, then we won't accept surrender and will attack the Imperial City directly. From now on, Linfeng Kingdom will no longer be called Linfeng Kingdom, but Linfeng City. What do you think?"
Ji Yingying's proposal made everyone feel incredible, because Linfeng Kingdom was quite big.
There's even a saying that it's a city in Jiangnan, a prosperous place. If it were to become a county town in the Tianyou Dynasty, that would be a real blessing for them!
"Very well, convey my decree: surrender will not be accepted. Go all out to storm the palace of Linfeng Kingdom and turn Linfeng Kingdom into Linfeng City. Furthermore, no civilians or surrendered soldiers are to be harmed."
"yes"
What a good thing! It’s getting late. The emperor, empress, prince, and princesses have all gone back, and everyone else has also left the princess’s mansion.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ji Yingying had just sent someone away and was about to go back to the house. When she entered the hall, she saw Fang Yulan sitting there, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"My daughter!" Fang Yulan grabbed her hand, her eyes red as if she had been crying.
"Mom, are you upset? But you can't cry here with me. If Dad finds out you're crying here, he might say I made you cry. What if he beats me then?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fang Yulan couldn't help but poke her again. This child's words always made people forget their sad thoughts.
"I'm not making this up. You tell me yourself, how many times has Dad beaten me for no reason because of you?" she said, sounding aggrieved.
"You... I am so happy to see you answer the Emperor so fluently today. My son is destined for great things. Now that you are eleven years old, I am thinking that I can start looking for a husband for you. Tell me, what kind of young man do you like? I will inquire about him for you."
"I'm only eleven, and you've already found out. Do you want to kick me out of the house so quickly?"
"Nonsense! Mother is just keeping an eye on him first. Who knows? We'll have to keep an eye on him for many years. Or is it that you like Young Master Mu?"
"No, I don't like anyone. I only like myself and my parents."
Fang Yulan sighed. No one dared to come to her house to discuss marriage; people were afraid that this little princess would offend someone.
Even today, many people told her that no one dared to marry her little devil.
Yes, the Ji family is very lively because of Ji Yingying, but the people who come to visit are not here to discuss marriage; they only want to arrange marriages for her two older brothers.
Even though he said he didn't want her to get married, when it really came to that point, Fang Yulan still felt very uncomfortable!
Princess Protector of the Nation of the Tianyou Dynasty, a little tyrant and melon vendor in the capital, is respected by everyone. No one dares to defile her, much less make any move on her, even though she is highly valued by the Emperor.
"You! Forget it, mother can support you for the rest of your life."
"That's right. I have money and a house. I plan to live on my own."
