After the play ended, Ji Yingying was about to leave when Madam Liu and the divorced woman rushed out and knelt in front of Ji Yingying.
"This humble subject is very grateful to Lord Ji for saving my life."
"This... get up quickly..." Ji Yingying panicked; she had never seen anything like this before.
No, what did I do to deserve such gratitude from them?
"Get up quickly." Ji Yingying helped them up one by one, her smile utterly awkward.
She genuinely didn't know what she had done to warrant such gratitude from everyone.
The onlookers were quite helpless. Such a clever young lady could have figured it out if she had just thought about it a little deeper, but she just didn't use her brain. As she said, "This brain is still 90% new and undeveloped."
Ji Cailiang pulled Ji Yingying back, and after lunch, they immediately set off for court.
This was the latest morning court session in the history of the Tianyou Dynasty—no, it could no longer be called a morning court session.
This morning at court, the Fifth Prince brought back Princess Baohe Kingdom. Ji Yingying also met this beautiful older sister, who surprisingly has red eyes.
[My God, what a beautiful woman! It's such a pity. Coming to Tianyou Dynasty, she might die of depression. After all, she's a king on horseback, someone who could tame wild horses at three and dominate the battlefield at five. She's an eagle of the grasslands, yet she's trapped in this Sifang City for her entire life. How could she not suffer from depression?]
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. If she doesn't come, Baohe Kingdom won't have any food for winter. Without food, they'll starve, and starvation will lead to death. This sister is magnanimous! However, she and the Fifth Prince are a good match. This Fifth Prince may look young, but he has a broad mind. His lifelong dream is to control the world, which is quite compatible with this sister.
[It's just a pity that the Fifth Prince has a troublesome old mother. Her goal is clear: to compete with the Crown Prince. But the Fifth Prince is unwilling to do so, and because of this, he doesn't even want to stay in his mother's palace.]
[This led to this... what kind of concubine, actually thinking the Fifth Prince was useless and incompetent, so she became even stricter with him, and even secretly used his name to commit many capital crimes, almost killing him in the end. Tsk tsk~ Is this a biological mother? Absolutely not, she's the murderer of her mother and father, otherwise she wouldn't treat this son like this.]
Poor Fifth Prince, how pitiful! He's never competed with the Crown Prince; he's just admired him and liked him, often wanting to help him, but he felt powerless because of his elderly mother.
The Fifth Prince and Princess Baohe felt wronged after hearing Ji Yingying's words.
The fifth prince burst into tears. He was suffering so much. If the emperor had just made him a king earlier, he could have gone directly to his fiefdom and lived a carefree life.
He was constrained by both sides, and now he has committed suicide.
As for Princess Baohe, she was homesick, longing for the vast grasslands of her homeland.
"Father Emperor~" she called out to the Emperor with a sob in her voice. Before the Emperor could respond, Ji Yingying exclaimed, "[My goodness! Is the Fifth Prince's voice really that nice? And it's even a 'shou' voice! So nice, I love it! People like that are practically extinct in this dynasty. I never thought I'd hear a 'shou' voice in my lifetime. The Emperor is so lucky to have given birth to such a sweet and gentle child. I wonder why his old mother forced such an obedient doll to be the Crown Prince?]"
The Fifth Prince was also embarrassed. Soft and gentle? Was he referring to him? No! He was a tough guy, not a doll.
"Alright, you can stand aside for now."
After he stepped aside, Princess Baohe bowed and said, "Jiahe greets the Emperor of the Tianyou Dynasty."
"Well, since you have come here for a marriage alliance and have encountered this disaster, you may choose any prince or nobleman of our dynasty, and I will grant you one condition."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Jiahe wishes to select the Fifth Prince."
The Fifth Prince also looked at Jiahe with sparkling eyes, and the next second he heard Ji Yingying say: "[Not bad, not bad, both of them are like porcelain dolls, the child they have should be very beautiful. If it's a girl, she'll inherit her mother's curly hair, and with her mother's red eyes, no, let's say blue or red eyes, and then a delicate little face, oh my, I'll love it! I'll definitely fight for a girl like that, no, I'll have my father have another son, and then I'll have my younger brother marry this girl, so I can play with her every day.]"
Oh dear, what an unfilial son! They're already so old, why are they still having children?
Ji Cailiang was so enraged that his face turned a dark purple bruise!
The young couple, suppressing their shyness, knelt down to express their gratitude and then withdrew. After that, they discussed planting the corn, which is now growing.
Ji Yingying
"I am here"
"The corn has grown, so what kind of fertilizer do we need?"
Ji Yingying frowned, thinking: [How am I supposed to know what fertilizer to use? There's no phosphate fertilizer, urea, or other similar fertilizers here. Knowing how to plant is one thing, forgetting is another.]
"Your Majesty, tomorrow I will go with... Lord Ding to check on the corn."
"Alright, tomorrow after the morning court session, go with Minister Ding to take a look."
[Why can't we just go directly without having to attend court? Today is only the third day, there are still three days left, and we only get one day off. It's so hard! I miss the days of weekends and summer and winter vacations!] Ji Yingying started to roar in her heart again.
Upon hearing this voice, the Emperor couldn't help but smile; in Ji Yingying's words, he was completely taken aback.
"Speak if you have something to say, otherwise the court is adjourned." This time everyone quieted down, and the court adjourned when no one spoke. After everyone left, Ji Yingying immediately had someone escort her to the Grand Tutor's residence.
You can still have a feast at this time.
When she arrived, the other ministers had just arrived as well, and some of them were very happy to see her.
This is another day for enjoying the gossip.
The Grand Tutor is not attending court today; he is waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Young Master Ji has arrived too?" The Grand Tutor was not surprised at all to see Ji Yingying; in fact, he was very pleased.
He thought Ji Yingying wouldn't come, after all, the morning court session was so late today.
"Grand Tutor, congratulations!"
Ji Yingying forgot whether he was her granddaughter's engagement or wedding; she was just there to eat at the banquet.
"Thank you, please come in." Ji Yingying immediately went inside to find her mother, dressed in a red official robe, and went to the backyard.
As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes were on her. If it were anyone else, they would have been shy by now, but Ji Yingying calmly walked up to Fang Yulan and bowed respectfully.
Then, Fang Yulan introduced him to the mistress of the Grand Tutor's mansion.
The Grand Tutor's wife, the madam, and all the young mistresses—it's a large group indeed.
"This must be the young official, Lord Ji. And Miss Ji the Third? Hehe, she's really beautiful!"
The old lady of the Grand Tutor held Ji Yingying's hand and said with a smile. Ji Yingying nodded slightly and withdrew her hand.
"Miss Ji, you're always showing your face in public like this, have you ever thought about..." Before the woman could finish speaking, she heard Ji Yingying's inner thoughts: [Where did this primitive savage come from? No, he's a towering white flower, a meddlesome superhero! If he likes to lecture so much, why doesn't he go and lecture the Emperor? If he's so capable, why doesn't he have the Emperor lock me up at home like my parents? I'd be more than happy to do it.]
