Chapter 611 I Like Your Selfishness
Zhao Shen nodded. "After Lin Huixue's death, my father-in-law and my elder brother almost eliminated all of Prince Yong's forces in Mobei and Youzhou. Our goals have been achieved."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but think back to when he first came to Youzhou. Half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
She originally thought that she was here to help Wujina stabilize Mobei, and in fact, Wujina did become the queen of Mobei.
But with that contract as a pressure, Mobei will not be able to develop for a long time.
It's hard to say that Wujina is the ultimate winner.
Daxia is not counted either. The war cost a lot of money, and it happened when Youzhou was experiencing a severe drought.
Ji Yunshu knew even more clearly that in the next few years, the Great Summer would be plagued by constant disasters and man-made calamities, and there would be no peace.
But the problem of King Yong has not been completely solved.
"Then let's go back to the capital. I miss my aunt."
Ji Yunshu didn't mention anything else and spoke in a coquettish tone.
Zhao Shen stared at her for a moment: "Don't you want to stay in Wuning? It's more free here, no one will restrict you?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him: "Do you want me to stay?"
Zhao Shen silently took her into his arms: "Am I very selfish?"
Ji Yunshu really wanted to say that people are selfish, especially when it comes to feelings.
But seeing Zhao Shen's guilty look, she hugged his waist and said with a smile: "Yes, then how are you going to compensate me?"
Zhao Shen: "You can do whatever you want."
Ji Yunshu thought about it seriously, then said seriously, "Is it okay if I want the moon in the sky?"
Zhao Shen: “…”
Ji Yunshu didn't wait for him to say anything, she laughed first, and after laughing enough, she hugged him and said, "I like your selfishness."
She hopes he has the confidence to live and hopes he will work hard for her.
Her words made Zhao Shen feel inexplicably warm in his heart. He hugged her tightly in his arms and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen set out on their journey back to Beijing on a sunny day.
The weather in Youzhou was still very cold, so Ji Yunshu and Cen Xi stayed in the carriage during the day.
Cen Xi couldn't help but sigh: "You still know how to enjoy it."
Ji Yunshu's carriage was specially modified by Zhao Shen. It was not as bumpy as ordinary carriages and was much more comfortable to sit in.
She was worried about Cen Xi's health and afraid that the bumpy journey would cause harm to the baby in her belly, so she faced Zhao Shen's resentful gaze and asked him to change carriages with Cen Xi.
Cen Xi originally disagreed, but Ji Yunshu had someone forcibly drag her over. As soon as she got on the carriage, she noticed something was different.
He immediately put aside his guilt towards Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu boasted, "This was specially modified by Zhao Shen. If it weren't for this carriage, I really wouldn't like to go out."
These days, the roads are difficult to travel on, and even riding in a horse-drawn carriage is very slow. After a long time, it can make people feel shaken to pieces.
Going out is torture.
If Zhao Shen hadn't modified the carriage, Ji Yunshu might have really preferred to stay at home.
She had already told Yichen about the rubber, and wondered when he would be able to get the wheels.
By then, perhaps riding in a carriage would be more comfortable.
Cen Xi envied: "A man like Prince Zhao is so hard to find even with a lantern."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Of course, I have a good eye."
Cen Xi already knew about her marriage exchange on her wedding night, and he doubted that she had no idea what kind of person Zhao Shen was at the time.
All I can say is that everyone has their own destiny.
Some people are born with good fortune and can turn misfortune into blessing.
She touched her belly and felt that her luck had improved a lot since she met Ji Yunshu.
Now she has completely taken control of the Cen family, and with Ji Yunshu as her backer, she has a child in her belly, so she doesn't have to get married in the future.
The more I think about it, the brighter the future seems.
So he reminded Ji Yunshu in a good mood: "The prince has made great contributions this time. I'm afraid he will be promoted when he returns to the capital. By then, I guess many people will be eyeing his backyard."
It has been almost two years since the two of them started, and Ji Yunshu's pregnancy is still not moving, which makes it easy for people to bring up this matter.
She didn't say this, but Ji Yunshu was very clear. She smiled and said, "Zhao Shen has made contributions, but don't my father and brother have any? The Queen Mother is in the palace, who dares to find fault with me?"
After this battle with Mobei, the Ji family's position in the Youzhou army will only become more stable.
This might certainly arouse the jealousy of the monarch and court officials, but at least in the short term, no one dared to criticize her.
Speaking of this, Cen Xi was a little worried: "Those people in the court can't see General Ji's blood and corpses on the battlefield, they can only see his military achievements. This time, I'm afraid that more people will target the Ji family."
At this time, Ji Yunshu should keep a low profile.
Seeing that she didn't blindly think the Ji family was powerful, but rather keenly saw the hidden dangers within, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "What happens to the Ji family is not something I can decide. As for the matter between me and Zhao Shen, I believe Zhao Shen will handle it."
Zhao Shen is destined to be a powerful official. There will always be all kinds of difficulties and obstacles along the way.
If he can't even handle such a small matter, he won't be able to go far.
Seeing that she was full of confidence, Cen Xi thought about what he had seen and heard in recent days. Zhao Shen really had nothing to worry Ji Yunshu about.
It seems that as long as that person is around, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
Unless he doesn't want to.
Cen Xi smiled and said, "We'll work hard to make money when we get back."
Ji Yunshu remembered their previous discussion about opening a shop in Jiangnan, and immediately became interested.
In this way, the two of them discussed how to open the shop along the way, and before they knew it, they returned to the capital.
Cen Xi is in good health and hasn't even had any pregnancy symptoms. She has been safe and sound all the way.
When they finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Ji Yunshu was still a little dazed. They had not rushed on the journey and it took them nearly half a month.
It's almost March, and the weather in the capital is much warmer than in Youzhou.
Ji Yunshu changed into the new clothes that Lu Ru had made for her, but they still seemed a little big.
Lu Ru said distressedly: "You have lost weight again. It must be because the food outside is not tasty. I said you should take mine with you."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's not much bigger, so just wear it like this. You don't know how to fight, so it's not safe to take you out."
Seeing that Lu Ru wanted to say something, she decisively changed the subject: "Did anything happen in the mansion during the time I was away from Beijing?"
Lu Ru couldn't leave the house and had no idea about the situation outside, so Ji Yunshu only asked her about things in the house.
Lu Ru helped her pack her bags while muttering, "Nothing serious, just the commotion in the Second Young Master's courtyard. The worst time was when the Princess... oh, no, the Princess' title has been revoked by the Emperor, and the Second Young Master's wife was nearly strangled to death by the Second Young Master."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"
Lu Ru curled her lips. "What else could it be? Miss Yao was pregnant, but the Second Young Master's wife aborted the baby. The Second Young Master's wife also said that Miss Yao had no status and any child she gave birth to would be illegitimate, so it would be better not to give birth to the baby so that the child would not be able to face the public when he grows up. Miss Yao didn't die after hanging herself, and the Second Young Master was almost mad and directly strangled the Second Young Master's wife."
Ji Yunshu didn't expect that after so long, these people were still struggling with these things.
