The prince took the pen and examined it carefully. It looked pretty good. Just as he was about to start writing, Ji Yingying immediately said from the side, "Press lightly. This isn't a calligraphy brush."
The prince replied that the paper was very thin, and it tore as soon as he put pen to paper.
"this……"
"The paper here is still too thin. Let's use this." Ji Yingying took out a notebook and asked him to write in it.
The prince wrote two characters. At first, it was a little awkward, but he gradually wrote the second character well.
[Not bad, you're teachable; you've got it after just two words.]
Crown Prince: This child, does he even know how to speak?
Putting down her pen, Ning Qingran noticed that her notebook seemed different.
"May I take a look at it?"
"Look," Ji Yingying said, showing him: "This notebook isn't anything special; it's just a bunch of lesson plans. When I was writing these plans, it gave me a headache... and then I treasured them. Now that you're showing them to me, I don't even want to look at them."
Ning Qingran became interested and opened the app, where she saw various topics such as "The Chinese People Stand Up," "The Analects," and so on, followed by questions on understanding their meanings.
The writing was very detailed, and Ning Qingran was so engrossed in reading it that Ji Yingying ignored her and went straight to the front door after leaving the study.
I wonder if that serial killer on the other side has been caught yet. Thankfully, we dealt with the prince; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to watch the show.
She was stunned when she got to the door; there were so many people there, all there to see what was going on.
She rushed over immediately, took out some sunflower seeds, and asked while cracking them open, "Hey, do you know what happened at this house?"
It's only been a short time, how come so many people are watching?
“We heard that this family had a lot of silver hidden away, so we came to take a look. The Imperial City Guard only caught one person when they raided the house. Such a big courtyard, yet there wasn’t even a servant guarding such a large sum of money. This person must have stolen it.”
[Ah ha~ So that's how it is. It was the Imperial City Guard that released the information. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to raid this place or catch the person. Now that they've caught the person and raided the house, they actually found a large sum of money, including a portion of it from the Xiao family. They managed to get it out, so it's considered confiscated now.]
Ji Yingying cracked sunflower seeds and watched the main gate. Not long after, two men from the Imperial City Guard escorted a one-eyed man out.
[Holy crap, this serial killer is a one-eyed maniac! I didn't see him clearly before, but now that I do, he's so ugly. This Consort Xiao must be starving; she'll eat anyone.]
The neighboring courtyard was sealed off, the crowd dispersed, and Ji Yingying returned to her study, where the Crown Prince was still reading her notes.
[Did my notes trigger some condition that made His Highness the Crown Prince hesitate to put them down?]
"Young Minister Ji, what is this notebook of yours?"
【Huh? How should I answer?】Although I was conflicted, I answered immediately: "I found it in a big mountain. I thought it was so beautiful, so I brought it back."
Anyway, there wasn't much—just a few pages of lesson plans, some class notes, a few meeting minutes, and the rest were classical poems I copied down.
"Could you lend me some to copy out?"
"Of course you can."
"Thank you!" The prince took the notebook away, and Ji Yingying also left the study. She really didn't like this study.
During dinner, Ji Yingying remembered that the Second Prince had sent them an invitation. Now that the Second Prince had fallen from power, should they still go?
"Mother, should we still go with the invitation from the Second Prince's Consort?"
“We’re not going. The Second Prince’s whole family committed crimes and were executed. Where would we go? However, we did receive an invitation from the Grand Tutor’s family for tomorrow. Come back early tomorrow and I’ll take you to get acquainted with the place.”
Ji Yingying took the invitation and opened it. It was for her granddaughter's wedding, a celebratory banquet.
"Okay, I'll go to the banquet with you tomorrow. It's been so long since I've been to a banquet."
Thinking back to the feasts of my past life, especially those in the countryside, I absolutely loved them. Lots of meat and vegetables! Even though the environment wasn't great, the food was cleaner than anything in a restaurant… Oh dear, what am I thinking? This is ancient times. Even the food in restaurants is spotless, without any gutter oil.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ji Yingying was attacked on her way back to the courtyard.
[Host, someone is trying to kill you. They are heading northwest. Prepare to dodge...] Xiangxiang warned. The next second, Ji Yingying crouched down. She didn't know which direction the northwest was. Sure enough, the sword came at her, but she deflected it and they started fighting.
They are from the Imperial City Guard.
[Oh my god, I almost saw Chairman Mao! Xiangxiang, don't give directions next time, I have no sense of direction and can't tell the difference. But, hurry up and tell me this gossip, I want to see who's trying to kill me.]
[Host, the person is wearing a mask, so Xiangxiang can't find out anything about them.]
【Okay.】 Ji Yingying hid and watched the Imperial City Guards fight the men in black. It was fierce, and there was even blood.
The man in black was quickly defeated and brought under control.
"Young Master Ji, are you alright?" Rong Yi came over. She hadn't seen him clearly from a distance, but now that he was closer, Ji Yingying could finally see what Rong Yi looked like.
[Absolutely stunning! This is the legendary male bodhisattva who sways with every step! That physique, that face—a true beauty! Ah, I really want to touch him!]
"Ah? I'm fine, thank you, sir. Is anyone injured?" Ji Yingying asked with a smile, showing no signs of having just been attacked.
"I'm fine, I've taken these people with me." Rong Yi lowered his head, his face flushed.
Young Master Ji... is truly... a man of genuine character!
"Let's go, let's go, let's go." She said "let's go" three times, and the last sentence even had a hint of reluctance in her voice. Just then, Ji Cailiang and his wife came over, along with the two brothers, Ji Jiaming and Ji Jiayu.
"My son, how are you?"
"Ah, I'm fine, but I don't know who killed me. Those people were all masked and were taken away by Lord Rong of the Imperial City Guard."
[Rong Yi, so handsome! He's a bodyguard, the Emperor's personal guard, a true beauty. No wonder unofficial histories mention that bodyguards should be nine feet tall, slim in clothes, and muscular underneath. Rong Yi... I'm falling in love with him, he's so good-looking, so handsome.]
Mr. and Mrs. Ji exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly. Their daughter's ideas were truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It's really hard to accept.
"Come on, Mom will sleep with you tonight."
"Oh? No, Mother! Father needs you. If you don't stay with him, the maid will climb into his bed later."
“Then let’s climb. Do you think I’m afraid he’ll take a concubine?” Fang Yulan was a woman of her word. If she said she would sleep with her, she would sleep with her.
With Fang Yulan around, Granny Xia felt much more relaxed the next morning.
Fang Yulan helped the person onto the carriage and warned Ji Cailiang to take good care of his daughter.
Upon arriving at the Hall of Diligent Governance, Ji Yingying immediately began idly gossiping.
[Xiangxiang, bring me some melon! I'm so sleepy, I need some melon to wake me up.]
"Yes, do you see that man over there, Lord Yang?"
I know him. Tell me, what's his story?
