"You little brat, you think you can control me?" King Qi's tone was a bit fierce, but he didn't look fierce at all.
"You're being mean to me, fine, I won't care about you anymore." After saying that, she turned her head away and wouldn't look at him.
This made things very difficult for the King of Qi.
"Okay, stop being so temperamental. I'll listen to you and eat less, but just a little bit, not too much."
"All right!"
Not long after returning from the imperial estate, Ji Cailiang and Fang Yulan came back. As soon as they arrived, Ji Yingying hugged them and cried her heart out.
This really upset Fang Yulan.
“My son, you’ve gotten thinner and grown up.”
"Then you should be ruthless and stay for three years." However, it also takes three years to serve in one place.
"Isn't that why I wanted to come back as soon as possible?"
"So, are you going again this time you're back?"
Ji Cailiang shook his head: "I'm not going. The Emperor has appointed me to take over the Ministry of Revenue. Lord He is going back to enjoy his retirement."
"That's great! My older brother will be back tomorrow, and our family can get together."
“Your eldest brother…sigh!” Fang Yulan sighed. When she married Yanni, Ji Yingying had advised her that her brother’s marriage wouldn’t happen so soon.
really……
"Is he being transferred back too?"
"That's not necessarily true; it's not time yet." If Ji Jiaming returns, he'll probably be placed in the cabinet.
They don't even dare to think about what will happen to their family then. Ji Jiayu is currently working in the Ministry of War, and if he makes any more merits, he will probably be in a very high position.
Sure enough, Ji Jiaming returned in a couple of days. He hadn't been transferred back yet, so he only stayed for a few days.
However, this time he brought a woman back with him.
As soon as she saw the person, Ji Yingying immediately started gossiping.
[Xiangxiang, is my older brother's old house on fire?] Ji Jiaming is almost twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
"Yes, this girl is great. Our boss has excellent taste." Ji Yingying immediately asked, eager for gossip, "Tell me, what's going on?"
[Hmm~ She was unloved by her parents, the kind of person who was just cannon fodder in the family. Then, her parents, wanting to curry favor with the powerful, planned to give her away to someone influential, but our eldest brother saved her.]
She immediately begged our eldest brother to help her sever ties with her family; she essentially sold herself to him. However, her identity is not simple; she is the long-lost daughter of our Prince Rong.
"What? Prince Rong? I heard he's been searching for his daughter. How about we send her over there so our parents can propose marriage? What do you say?"
【No, I suggest you get married first, and then go to acknowledge your relatives. You know how complicated things are in Prince Rong's family. If you let her acknowledge you back, with no one to protect you, you'll be devoured until there's nothing left.】
That seems to be true.
"Then I'll have Mom and Dad set a date. Our eldest brother's old house is going to catch fire."
The person kept talking to the other, making both Ji Jiaming and Yun Xiaofan feel embarrassed.
However, Yun Xiaofan also had feelings for Ji Jiaming, but she dared not have any other thoughts.
[I also think it's feasible to let my elder brother get married before returning to Xinhe County, so that it can be done legitimately.]
"Boss, tell me your thoughts," Ji Cailiang asked directly.
Ji Jiaming quickly turned to look at Yun Xiaofan and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"I didn't!" she said, then lowered her head shyly.
"In that case, your father and I will decide on an auspicious day. We'll have Yingying tell the Emperor that we'll return to Xinhe County a little later."
"Huh?" Ji Yingying didn't understand what was going on, after all, she didn't seem to know what was being said.
"Naturally, it's about your elder brother's marriage. You should ask the Emperor to allow your elder brother to return to Xinhe County at a later time."
Ji Yingying blinked: "You just started like this?" Unbelievable, what exactly happened?
No one paid any attention to her, so Yanni went over and took Yun Xiaofan's hand: "Sister-in-law, I'll have a companion from now on."
This left Yun Xiaofan completely bewildered.
She had barely sat down after coming in with Ji Jiaming when the marriage was arranged.
The little girl sitting in the first seat is amazing too.
It only took a few moments to figure out her family situation and her own.
Suddenly, I felt like I had nowhere to hide.
Yanni chatted enthusiastically with Yun Xiaofan, and Fang Yulan didn't stay long either. Seeing that it was almost time, she went back to her room to rest.
The two of them were left to chat, talking about everyday matters. Ji Yingying sat to the side, frowning as she listened.
"Second sister-in-law, I never expected you to know so much. You even know how the east neighbor's wife is, and how the west neighbor's wife is?"
"I know, I often go to banquets in place of Mother, so of course I know. Now that Mother is back, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief with her around."
Strictly speaking, only Yanni from the Ji family attended those social gatherings. As for Ji Yingying, the late emperor had already warned her not to be led astray, and if she didn't want to go, she didn't have to.
Moreover, given her current status, who would dare to do that?
"What? We have to attend a banquet? How come I didn't know?"
“You’re always busy with important matters, how would you understand? Besides, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have so much freedom. Sister-in-law, let me tell you, if it weren’t for our sister, we probably wouldn’t even be able to invite anyone to a banquet.”
"What the heck?" Ji Yingying was confused, but she wasn't one to dwell on things, so she didn't bother trying to figure it out.
“Sister-in-law, my sister’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. It’s being organized by the palace. We need to go back early to welcome the guests. Also, the Emperor, the Empress, and possibly the Empress Dowager and the imperial concubines will be coming to my sister’s birthday celebration. You’ll be with me then, and you’ll be in charge of making the arrangements. My sister’s birthday celebration has to be held every year.”
After all, she was a prince, a princess, and a person useful to the country, so the emperor naturally valued her highly.
Yun Xiaofan had no idea; she just thought it was amazing.
“Who said it’s held every year? When I was eleven, wasn’t I forced to catch bugs the day before my birthday? They call me to do such a small thing.”
Ji Yingying complained that it had been two years since a woman had become an official, so Yun Xiaofan could only envy Ji Yingying for being able to become an official. If she could study and practice writing properly, she would also choose to go into politics. However, things were good as they were now, because of Ji Jiaming.
She can also run a business and has her own shops.
"Yingying, want to go out and play?" Mu Kaiji appeared at the door without anyone noticing.
Because there were two women inside, he didn't come in; normally he wouldn't mind just walking in.
"Go, call King Qi, let's go fishing."
"Let's not go fishing, let's go to the shop to try the new dishes. King Qi said he wants to research the dishes and wants us to be his guinea pigs."
"That damned King Qi! He's trying to murder me! Doesn't he know how terrible his cooking is?" With that, he stormed out.
Seeing this, Yun Xiaofan trembled and asked, "Has my sister offended someone from the royal family?"
