Chapter 644: Good Advice
Ji Yunlan was not around and the marriage had not been settled. The Queen Mother was extremely anxious and sent a letter to Youzhou almost every few days to urge the marriage.
But she finally listened to Ji Yunshu's words, thinking that after all, they were going to spend their whole lives together, so it would depend on Ji Yunlan's willingness.
So there was no direct marriage arrangement.
Ji Yunshu came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and went to the Queen.
Now she has a very good relationship with the Queen. The Queen was playing with the little prince, and when she heard her coming, she knew her intention.
He personally welcomed her into the hall and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you again, cousin."
Ji Yunshu scolded, "What are you talking about, Madam? It's so good out there, and no one says anything bad about me. I love it so much. If I could, I'd rather not come back."
God knows, she really wanted to stay in Wuning.
The Queen was actually a little envious of Ji Yunshu. It had only been a short time since she got married, but she had already traveled around Da Xia almost everywhere.
Who would like to stay in a cramped environment all the time?
But she still said: "It is dangerous after all."
Ji Yunshu said, "Staying home isn't necessarily safe. Your Majesty also knows what's going on in our mansion. It's truly more exciting than a storybook."
Before Wei Yuanmin and Yao Ruolan could decide the winner, Zhao Fei appeared.
Ji Yunshu could imagine that the third room would not be peaceful in the future.
Fortunately, the Third Lady is in charge of the household now, and Aunt Lin will not be able to turn things around in her hands.
However, Zhao Xuan's marriage requires careful selection, and I wonder if the Third Madam has an idea in mind.
The Queen sighed: "Every family has its own problems. Fortunately, the Marquis and the Crown Prince are good. The rest of them are not that important."
Ji Yunshu knew that the Queen was advising him to be more open-minded and that there was no need to take unimportant people to heart.
Ji Yunshu said, "It's not important for me, I'll just treat it as a show. I thought there would be a result after coming back this time, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before."
She even suspected that with Lord Zhao watching over her, the relationship between Wei Yuanmin and Yao Ruolan would not change as long as the poison in Zhao Shen's body was not cured.
With these two people checking and balancing each other, Zhao Heng is actually safe.
Yao, who broke this situation, was put under house arrest again.
Lord Zhao had good intentions in saving Zhao Shen's life.
The Queen clearly understood the situation: "This might not be a bad thing. If the relationship between them gets out of balance, it could become a threat to you."
Ji Yunshu also understood this truth: "Thank you, Madam, for your advice."
The Queen smiled and said, "I just said it casually."
Ji Yunshu said, "You said it casually, but it's valuable advice to me."
Before Ji Yunshu left, the Queen gave her a token of her love and said, "The wife of the Hangzhou prefect was my close friend before she got married. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we have a good relationship. If you encounter any problems, you can go to her."
Ji Yunshu looked at the sachet in his hand, which was obviously an old item from many years ago but was well preserved, and knew that this person must have a very good relationship with the Queen. He accepted the item and thanked him.
The Queen smiled and warned, "Be sure to be careful."
Ji Yunshu came out of the palace and Zhao Shen was waiting for her outside as usual.
She got on the carriage and said with a smile, "The emperor has already done homework for my aunt in advance, and my aunt didn't say anything."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Of course the Emperor knows how much the Queen Mother loves you. If it's not an important matter, he wouldn't dare let you take any risks."
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu was also confused: "Speaking of which, you are indeed very capable and worthy of his use, but I am a weak woman and can't do much after all. Why does he always ask me to go?"
Ji Yunshu felt something was strange when he went to Suzhou.
Even Zhao Shen disappeared there. One can imagine how dangerous Suzhou was at that time. How could the emperor believe that she could find someone?
And judging from what happened later, it seemed that the emperor trusted her a little too much.
This doesn't seem like the trust an emperor could give at all.
Are you really not afraid that she might have some ulterior motives?
Zhao Shen seemed to understand what she was thinking and tapped her forehead gently. "What are you imagining? The Emperor isn't someone who doesn't know what's good for him. He's really hoping you'll do more. Everything you propose will benefit the country and the people."
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "What you said before about blood relatives marrying each other and affecting offspring has been verified by the Imperial Hospital. The Emperor has already issued an edict prohibiting marriages between close relatives within three generations."
Ji Yunshu was very interested in this. She thought that the emperor might have issued the decree in order to maintain stability in the court and break up the communities of interests formed by the aristocratic families through marriage, but this decree would definitely have a great impact on society.
"Any reaction from the aristocratic family?"
Zhao Shen said, "When it comes to offspring, we'd rather believe it. Furthermore, the Imperial Hospital has provided evidence. People have known for a long time that incest can easily produce children with problems."
Ji Yunshu: "...But this decree won't have much effect in the short term, right?"
It is impossible for those who are already married to separate because of such a decree. As for the future, there will be no results in the short term.
Zhao Shen nodded: "It will take two or three generations for these in-laws to fade away, but this decree is still somewhat useful."
Ji Yunshu also knew that some things could not be rushed.
In fact, compared with poor families, wealthy families are more capable of cultivating talents, which may not be a bad thing for society.
As the two were talking, Ji Yunshu glanced outside and realized that it was not the way back home. He couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
Zhao Shen said: "In the restaurant, I'm going to meet someone."
"Who?"
There are few people in Beijing who are friends with Zhao Shen, and he doesn't like socializing outside.
It would be strange to bring her to meet people now.
Zhao Shen kept it a secret: "You'll know in a moment."
When they arrived at the restaurant, they entered a private room, and sure enough, someone was already waiting inside.
Ji Yunshu took a closer look and found that it was an acquaintance.
Qi Zheng.
This man was extremely decisive. He returned to Beijing and immediately reported his uncle, sending the entire family of Marquis Jingning to hell or the north.
By the time people realized what was happening, he had already become the new Marquis of Jingning.
That’s right, after dealing with the family of Marquis Jingning, the emperor gave the title to Qi Zheng.
Of course, he has been working on the edge of a knife and secretly serving the emperor over the years, so he deserves this title.
Ji Yunshu was just unsure whether to address him as Marquis Jingning or the Third Young Master Qi when he heard Zhao Shen say, "Congratulations on your great revenge, Marquis."
Qi Zheng took a few steps forward, walked in front of the two men, and hit him on the shoulder in annoyance: "Don't be so sarcastic, didn't I just not listen to you and wait a little longer to report those people?"
While speaking, he did not forget to bow to Ji Yunshu: "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Ji Yunshu smiled at him and said, "My Lord, you are so polite."
After all, she is a hereditary marquis, and Zhao Shen is just the son of a marquis, so Qi Zheng actually doesn't need to pay respect to her.
Zhao Shen took Ji Yunshu's hand and sat down, saying, "I finally managed to get the daughter of the Yu family involved, but now you've done this, all my hard work has been wasted."
