Chapter 329: Really Lucky
Ji Yunshu then remembered that Kesang seemed to have said that he would come to the capital to bring Ning Huanyi back.
She couldn't help but ask, "You are the Saint of Southern Border. Logically, you should never leave Southern Border. Why did you come to the palace?"
Even if it was sent by Qiyun and Lin Huixue together, she should have some ideas about it.
Ning Huanyi's eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness. "Someone is threatening me with my family. Even if no one is threatening me, I can't stay in Southern Xinjiang anymore. My face is too conspicuous."
Her words seemed to contain endless pain, and Ji Yunshu couldn't bear to ask any more questions.
She really wanted to say that beauty was not a sin, but when a woman had such a beautiful face, it could not be a good thing.
When Ning Huanyi saw that she was silent, she knew what she was thinking and couldn't help shaking her head. This lady was really soft-hearted.
She smiled and said, "You may not believe it, but these days in the palace are the most peaceful days I have ever had since I was a child. Unfortunately..."
She touched her belly and said nothing more.
Ji Yunshu understood what she meant.
Unfortunately, this child is not the emperor's, and that person will definitely use this to cause trouble.
Once she gives birth to this child, her peaceful days will probably be over.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "You don't have to think too much. Everything will work out when the time comes."
Ning Huanyi smiled and said, "I know. Actually, there's nothing to worry about. The worst that can happen is my life."
She said it calmly, but Ji Yunshu couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
But Ning Huanyi quickly said, "I was just joking, madam, don't take it seriously."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
To be honest, she didn't think what she said sounded like a joke at all.
When Cheng Yunshu had almost finished talking, he remembered that he hadn't asked about his own affairs yet, so he spoke directly: "I heard that you Miao people have a way to bring people back to life. Is it true?"
Ning Huanyi blinked her beautiful eyes and laughed, "How could there be a way to bring someone back to life in this world? Where did you hear this from, Madam?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I heard it when I went to Southern Xinjiang this time. I thought it was true."
Ning Huanyi shook her head: "Those people must be talking nonsense. Once a person dies, he is dead. How can he come back to life? I have never heard of such a thing."
"I see. I was just asking. Thank you very much. I still have to go pay my respects to the Empress, so I'll be leaving now."
With that, Ji Yunshu said goodbye and left.
After she left, Ning Huanyi stood there looking at her back for a long time without moving.
The maidservant beside her smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Crown Prince's wife is such a kind person."
Ning Huanyi's lips curled up slightly: "I was born into a good family and have people protecting me, so I naturally live a more innocent life."
However, judging from what she knew about Ji Yunshu, the other party was not necessarily that naive.
Ji Yunshu took a few steps forward. Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Ru couldn't help but ask, "How come we always happen to see this Concubine Yi every time we enter the palace?"
Lan Yin said, "Didn't she say that she was waiting for our wife?"
Lu Ru was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it said that the palace is not well-informed? How did she know that Madam went to Southern Xinjiang?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing to see some people more often. She probably knows more than that."
It's true that she is soft-hearted, but she is not stupid.
The last time they met in the palace, she really didn't see anything wrong with Concubine Yi, but this time, she was so sad when she heard the news of Kesan's death in battle.
As for the last question, she didn't believe at all that Ning Huanyi didn't know what Zhe Bie was trying to do.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh, it's really not simple for someone to have such a face and still be alive and well until now.
The Queen was indeed very busy today. When Ji Yunshu entered, the room was filled with female officials in charge of palace banquets.
Seeing her coming, the Queen waved her hand to let them leave, pulled Ji Yunshu to sit down and said with a smile: "I have a lot of things to do here today, please don't think I am neglecting you. I heard that you and the prince went to southern Xinjiang. You must have worked hard."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I hope you don't mind me bothering you. I wanted to go to Southern Xinjiang on my own initiative, and I've caused the Crown Prince a lot of trouble. Your aunt has already scolded me for half a day. Your Majesty, please stop scolding me, okay?"
Her tone was a bit coquettish, and the Queen's eyes softened as she looked at her. "My Queen Mother was worried about your safety, but I know you must have helped a lot. The fact that the war in Southern Xinjiang was resolved so quickly is due to the contributions of both you and your wife."
Ji Yunshu said modestly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all thanks to the soldiers guarding the southern border. My husband and I didn't do anything big."
As a woman, her achievements are useless except for showing off.
As for Zhao Shen, compared with the ages of those important officials in the court, he was too young and lacked experience. No matter how many merits he had, he could not rise to the top overnight.
So it’s better to keep a low profile.
The Queen saw that she no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude she had in the palace. She was much more clear in her words and actions, and her smile became more sincere. "You, now that you're married, why are you so estranged from me? You are the Emperor's cousin, and we are family. The Emperor will remember your contributions."
Seeing the Queen's sincere words, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Then your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to give me more rewards, preferably more gold and silver."
The Queen couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can you ask for a reward so directly? Don't worry, if the Emperor dares to treat you unfairly, you won't be able to get past Mother."
Ji Yunshu said proudly, "That's right, my aunt loves me the most."
The Queen looked at her with some envy. In the past, when the Queen Mother held Ji Yunshu in her hands and doted on her, she actually didn't feel much.
Who isn’t pampered at home?
But it’s a completely different story after getting married.
Ji Yunshu was truly lucky, having avoided the trap set by the Second Young Master Zhao and marrying the disliked Prince Zhao.
It's only been a year, and my husband's legs and feet have recovered. His position as the crown prince is secure, and he is also valued by the emperor. It seems that he has a bright future.
More importantly, Zhao Shen even brought Ji Yunshu with him when he went to Southern Xinjiang, which shows the affection between the two of them.
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "Many people have come to this Wanshou Festival, not only princes from all over the country, but also people from Mobei. You should be careful these days."
Receiving the Queen's kind reminder, Ji Yunshu said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the advice."
Not to mention that the hostile relationship between Prince Yong's Mansion and her and Zhao Shen could no longer be eased.
For her, Mobei is the real trouble.
The Ji family has guarded the north for generations, and the people of Mobei hate every member of the Ji family equally.
As the daughter of General Ji, she must be a thorn in the other side's side.
The Queen stopped there, and she understood what she meant. She smiled and said, "That's not much of a suggestion. I was just worried that you had just returned from Southern Xinjiang and hadn't sorted things out yet, so you weren't clear about what was going on outside, so I said a few more words."
Ji Yunshu said, "That's because the Queen is kind to me. No one else has said these words to me."
