After a pause, the eunuch continued, "Besides, women in Lizhou are not allowed to practice martial arts. This rule was imposed by the Grand Marshal himself years ago, so he certainly wouldn't go back on his word. I think the Grand Marshal intends to have the young lady leave the palace. The Regent Prince is extremely powerful, his demeanor is admired by the world, and he still has no wives or concubines. Naturally, there are many who would like to establish kinship with the Regent Prince's Palace, and the Grand Marshal is no exception."
Ji Xingzhi's face darkened. "It seems this thank you is not the same as that thank you. Humph, how can they covet the emperor's uncle?"
"The emperor is right." The eunuch carried Ji Xingzhi to the outer room. The carved mahogany round table in the room was already filled with steaming delicacies. Ji Xingzhi looked at the delicacies on the table and had no appetite at all. She just took two bites.
Ji Xingzhi was thinking about how Xiao Moyan would deal with the beauty sent by the general. How could she have the mood to eat? Looking at her small body, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help complaining, why didn't she give birth a few years earlier?
Ji Xingzhi slammed her chopsticks on the table, raised her little face and said to the eunuch: "Eunuch, change my clothes for me, I want to leave the palace."
The eunuch quickly stepped forward to look at Ji Xingzhi's red little hands, rubbed them, and said with a hint of anger: "Your Majesty, don't you feel the pain in your hands?"
"Eunuch, I want to leave the palace," Ji Xingzhi repeated.
The eunuch was a little embarrassed: "The Emperor and the Regent have ordered that you are not allowed to leave the palace before you reach the age of twenty."
Ji Xingzhi's face darkened, and he pretended to be angry and asked, "Grand Eunuch, who is more important, the Regent or the Emperor?"
"The Regent is worried that something might happen to you. It's not as safe and quiet outside the palace as it is inside." The eunuch advised.
Ji Xingzhi found that she couldn't stay in this deep palace any longer. She was really bored. Apart from watching Yuan Qin practicing sword and Ji Ruhua learning the piano, it was really boring.
But the uncle also made a rule that she was not allowed to leave the palace before she reached the age of twenty, and he even said it was for her safety. I swear, you obviously think she is troublesome.
Speaking of which, Ji Xingzhi did leave the palace once, but she insisted on staying in the palace where Xiao Moyan had left. After staying there for a whole day, she was sent back to the palace. The rule that she was not allowed to leave the palace was made. Ji Xingzhi was also confused at the time. What had she done wrong? Why would the emperor's uncle treat her like this?
"Wuuuuu... I want to leave the palace, wuuuu, leave the palace..." Ji Xingzhi cried out to the sky, trying soft methods when hard ones didn't work.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't allow you to go out, it's just that the Regent Prince has issued a strict order..." When Ji Xingzhi cried like this, the eunuch suddenly felt distressed and his attitude began to waver.
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, she thought there was a chance and cried even harder.
"Wuwu... I want to go and take a look, can I come back? Please, wuwu..." Ji Xingzhi said while crying and sobbing.
The eunuch's heart softened, and he quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay...but we agreed that we'll only check on the ones who come back."
Ji Xingzhi nodded fiercely: "You are not joking."
The eunuch sighed, took his leave, and went to arrange his departure from the palace.
Ji Xingzhi slid down the stool, walked to the doorstep, sat on the doorstep and looked outside. Ji Xingzhi suddenly realized why children like to sit on the doorstep, because the height is just right.
But it hurts my butt a bit...
Ji Xingzhi was waiting for the eunuch to come back and take her out of the palace. Yuan Qin, who had finished practicing sword, walked out from the backyard of the side hall. He walked lightly with his hands behind his back and a sword on his back, looking masculine and upright. Perhaps it was because he had been learning swordsmanship recently, but the previously handsome boy was now becoming more and more manly, although he was only seven years old.
