Chapter 328: Queen Mother's Advice
"You are marrying the Crown Prince. You will be in charge of the Marquisate in the future. You can't write two Zhao characters with one stroke. The Second Young Master has a bad reputation, which affects the entire Marquisate. If the Marquis's wife can't manage it well, you should take charge. You are just watching the show now, but you will have to clean up the mess for them and their son later."
Ji Yunshu was stunned. Whether she was escaping or being lazy, she really did not subconsciously regard the Marquis' Mansion as her own home, and she also forgot that it was the place where she would be the master in the future.
She never wanted to be the housekeeper, thinking that as long as Yao was around, it was none of her business.
She just needs to take good care of the one and a half acres of land in Qionghuayuan.
But the Queen Mother was right. Unless something unexpected happened, Zhao Shen would inherit the title. If the reputation of the Marquisate was ruined by Yao's mother and son, it would definitely affect her in the future.
She said with some guilt: "Thank you for your advice, aunt."
In fact, these days, as soon as a woman marries into her husband's family, she starts fighting for the right to manage the household, so it makes sense that she wants to give birth to children.
These two things are the foundation for a woman to settle down and gain a foothold in her husband's family.
But she never cared about these two things. Zhao Shen must have seen it. No wonder he always said that she had no conscience.
Seeing that she understood, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "You are a smart child. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't figure out and do. The prince treats you well, so you should also think about him."
Ji Yunshu remembered that Zhao Shen had mentioned to her a long time ago that he wanted her to be the housekeeper, but she didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of Yao and Zhao Heng, so she refused.
She smiled and said, "Aunt, you really do care about me. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have just been living in this muddle. But I really don't have any idea about the housekeeping matters. How about you give me two more housekeepers?"
Ji Yunshu is not the type of person who likes to get entangled. Since she will have to take charge sooner or later, and the sooner the better, she naturally has to be prepared.
The Queen Mother liked her casual manner, which showed that even after getting married, she was still the same as before. However, she still scolded her angrily, "Madame Song, who went out with you when you got married, is still available, and now you come to me again to ask for someone else?"
Ji Yunshu said coquettishly, "How can there be any idleness? Now my courtyard is managed by Nanny Song. Otherwise, I am away every few days and I don't know how chaotic the house will be. Isn't it because I see that Nanny Song is very capable in managing things that I want to ask you for two more people? The people under your command can even manage the affairs of the palace properly, let alone a marquis's mansion."
The Queen Mother was so coaxed by her that her face was full of smiles: "You little rascal, don't think that I don't know that you just want to be lazy."
Ji Yunshu pretended to be shy and said, "Oh, it's fine as long as you know it. Why do you have to tell me what you are doing?"
Everyone in the room was amused by her.
After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, Ji Yunshu came out of Ningshou Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
Who knew that after walking a few steps, he met the beautiful Concubine Yi.
Just as Ji Yunshu was about to greet him, she heard him say, "Madam, there's no need to be so polite. I'm waiting here for you."
Ji Yunshu knew that he had something to say to her, so he waved his hand to let the people around him stand a little further away, and then said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what you want to say."
Even though he had seen this face before, looking at Ning Huanyi's face, Ji Yunshu still felt like he was being bombarded by beauty.
I couldn't help but think that the emperor was quite amazing as he could control himself in the face of such a beauty.
Ning Huanyi's brows were slightly furrowed, without any sign of pretending to be pitiful or sad, but it still made people feel distressed.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long while, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, you actually want to ask about Southern Xinjiang. I will tell you everything I know."
It just so happened that she also had something to ask Ning Huanyi, so she decided to make good friends with her first.
Ning Huanyi then said, "I'm in the palace, and I haven't heard anything about what's happening in Southern Xinjiang, so I came to bother you, Madam. I wonder if you could tell me what the situation is like in Southern Xinjiang right now."
Ji Yunshu picked out some things to say and said, "The Nanzhao Kingdom will become a thing of the past. From now on, Southern Xinjiang will belong to Daxia. This is a good thing for the people."
Ning Huanyi looked relieved. "It's a good thing indeed. If people from Southern Xinjiang become citizens of Daxia, they won't be discriminated against or bullied anymore, right?"
Ji Yunshu sighed, "That's the theory, but the rift between the two tribes can't be eliminated all at once. But don't worry, for the emperor, the Miao people will also be his subjects in the future. He will find a way to solve this problem."
Ning Huanyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam, for comforting me."
Her smile was so beautiful that Ji Yunshu also laughed: "It's just a few words, nothing serious."
Ning Huanyi paused for a moment before asking hesitantly, "I...I also want to ask...how is the young patriarch of the Hongtu tribe doing?"
Ji Yunshu turned around and asked in surprise: "You said Kesan, you like him too?"
Ning Huanyi heard what she said and said in a panic: "I don't like him, it's just..."
Her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't think of what to say for a moment, and she felt a little anxious.
Ji Yunshu looked at her expression and saw that there was no emotion in her eyes when she said Kesang, so he understood.
"You don't like him, but you know he likes you, so you care about him, right? This is human nature, you don't have to be so anxious."
Ji Yunshu sighed in her heart. If she knew that she would be sent to the palace because Qiyun was jealous that Kesan liked her, she wondered if she would still care about Kesan so much.
"He died in battle."
Ji Yunshu said very straightforwardly, "As you know, this war was started by the Hongtu tribe. He will not have a good ending no matter what. This is already the best possible outcome."
Ning Huanyi stared at Ji Yunshu in a daze. After a moment, she seemed to react and a tear fell unconsciously from her eyes: "Oh, so that's the case. Thank you, ma'am."
Ji Yunshu: "...Are you okay?"
She looked at Ning Huanyi's slightly bulging belly and said with some concern.
Pregnant women cannot be stimulated. In the eyes of everyone, the child in her belly is the emperor's.
The matter in southern Xinjiang has been concluded, but the emperor has not yet exposed it. It can be seen that this belly is still useful.
If anything happens to the baby in her belly because of her words, she would be committing a sin.
She felt a little regretful for telling everyone directly about Ksan's death.
Ning Huanyi's words about not liking him just now didn't sound fake. If she didn't like him, why was she so sad?
Ning Huanyi quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, collected herself, and said to Ji Yunshu a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam."
Ji Yunshu said, "How could that be? Kesang was a very good person, sincere and brave. It's a pity that he died like this."
Ning Huanyi didn't seem to expect that she would actually evaluate Kesan in this way. She looked at her in surprise and found that her expression was natural, which showed that her words were completely from the heart.
She couldn't help but explain, "I didn't lie to you, Madam. I really didn't like him. I was so sad to hear the news of his death because he truly loved me and treated me wholeheartedly. Speaking of which, the reason he was so determined to start a rebellion and restore his country was because of me."
