Chapter 127: Madam likes someone like the Commander-in-Chief?
Ji Yunshu held her chin with both hands, looked at him with a smile and said, "Because you are with me."
She came here, and although the start was not very good, her efforts over the past few days were finally not in vain.
This trip to Suzhou was also safe and sound.
She believes that everything will get better.
Zhao Shen also smiled: "I will always be with you in the future, and I hope you will always be in such a good mood in the future."
Ji Yunshu's joyful mood lasted until the next morning.
She still had a smile on her face when she got up, and she didn't even frown when she took the medicine.
Yin Ye teased, "Beauty is indeed deceptive. I don't know what kind of magic potion the prince poured into you yesterday to make you so happy."
Ji Yunshu glanced at her sideways: "How can a lonely person like you understand the feeling of having a handsome man in your arms?"
Yin Ye sighed: "I'm afraid there will never be another handsome man like the prince in this world. I guess I will never understand your feelings in this lifetime."
Even though she actually didn't like pretty boys, she had to admit that in terms of looks, there was no one in the capital who was better looking than Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu found that Yin Ye was very open-minded, but as a young married woman, how could she be defeated by a grown-up girl?
She said with a smile, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You're old enough now, you can choose your own husband. I think the commander-in-chief is good-looking and has a good figure. Haven't you been getting along well with him recently?"
After leaving the capital, Gu Xing has been protecting her secretly.
Along the way, it was naturally impossible to discuss everything with Ji Yunshu, and most of the time it was Yin Ye who was in contact.
Before Yin Ye could respond, Zhao Shen walked in from outside.
He didn't know when he came, and heard Ji Yunshu's words clearly. He smiled and said, "I didn't know that the Madam likes the commander-in-chief."
Although he was smiling, Yin Ye and Bai Ling still felt that his tone was a bit chilling. They gave Ji Yunshu a helpless look and decisively left.
Ji Yunshu said helplessly: "Why are you so scary? Am I not trying to match Yin Ye with someone? I can't say he's a bad person, right?"
Zhao Shen walked over to her and sat down next to her: "Madam, when you praise other men for their good looks and good figures, shouldn't I be jealous?"
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Where is your usual gentleness, composure and generosity?
How come you suddenly become so childish when you are in your twenties?
But she still reached out and gently pinched his face, and said with a smile: "You are prettier than him, and your figure is better than his."
Only then was Zhao Shen satisfied.
Seeing that he was using his own face, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you change your appearance?"
They have been living in the backyard of Zhou's mansion these days. The people who should be sent away have been sent away long ago, so there are no outsiders. However, for the sake of caution, they still disguise themselves most of the time.
She had been sick for the past two days and was resting in the house. She wouldn't see anyone, so she was too lazy to fix her face.
Zhao Shen occasionally met with officials from outside, so he always disguised himself.
But today, for some reason, it has returned to its original state.
Zhao Shen said, "Since our identities have already been exposed, there's no need to try to hide them any further."
Ji Yunshu immediately understood what he meant. Those people had gone to great lengths to lure them here, so they would surely not let it go.
If Zhao Shen was just a person working secretly for the emperor, and she was just a singer, as long as the other party had the ability, they could kill them.
But they are the prince and princess of Changxing Marquisate, so everything is different.
On their way back to Beijing, they can use all available official forces to protect themselves.
Behind them are the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Marquis of Changxing Mansion and the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Anyone who dares to touch them must weigh the consequences.
"Should we go back to Beijing?"
Ji Yunshu knew that things in Suzhou were gradually getting back on track, and there was not much point in them staying here.
Zhao Shen saw that she was showing a rare melancholy look, and asked doubtfully, "Don't you want to go back to the capital?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "No, I just feel less at ease now that I'm back in the capital."
Zhao Shen remembered that she seemed to be always tense when she was in the Marquis' Mansion.
She guessed that she might feel uncomfortable because she would always see Yao and Zhao Heng in the Marquis' Mansion, which made her think that she would die.
He consoled her, "Let's go back and see what happens. If you really don't like me, find a way to get the emperor to send me away."
Ji Yunshu's eyes widened: "Is this okay?"
Zhao Shen said, "Of course, I'm a Jinshi, so I could have been assigned to an official position. But because of my leg, I've been idle for so many years. Now that my identity is exposed, I don't need to pretend anymore. With my merits over the years, I can still get an official position outside the capital."
He spoke as if it were a matter of course, and Ji Yunshu was persuaded, but he quickly came to his senses: "I'm afraid the emperor won't let you leave the capital."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Everything depends on human effort. This incident in Suzhou has served as a wake-up call for the Emperor. His control over the local areas is still too weak. He needs his own spies."
Although what he said made sense, Ji Yunshu knew that the emperor would not agree in the short term.
However, she didn't deliberately say it to spoil the fun, but said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. In fact, I'm worried about my aunt if we go far away."
The situation in the capital is now complicated, and those people's conspiracies and tricks are hard to guard against. Ji Yunshu is very worried about the Queen Mother.
The two of them had lunch together. Ji Yunshu drank another bowl of medicine and felt that there was nothing wrong with his body. He then prepared to go to the lantern festival with Zhao Shen in the evening.
Who knew that in the evening, the weather suddenly changed and it started snowing.
Ji Yunshu watched as a thin layer of snow covered the courtyard tiles in a short while. He asked in surprise, "It's only just after Mid-Autumn Festival. Is it snowing so early in Suzhou?"
Zhao Shen frowned and said, "I've looked at the files. It hasn't snowed this early in previous years. In fact, this might be the earliest snowfall in Suzhou in the past ten years."
Ji Yunshu finally realized something was wrong: "This is abnormal, this can't be a good thing, right?"
In modern winters, there are heating and air conditioning. She was originally a noble lady, and was raised in the empress dowager's palace since she was a child. As long as the weather got cold, charcoal would be burned in the house, and no one would be cold, not her.
So she actually didn't quite understand how people of that era spent the winter.
But I think it won’t be easy.
Not to mention the unusual weather.
Seeing that she didn't even seem to have the heart to go out and see the lanterns, Zhao Shen pinched her cheek and smiled, "It's just a light snowfall, it's not a big deal. We've been hinting at unusual weather this year, and the government has its own plans. At worst, we still have those things we copied from the mountains, which will come in handy. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Ji Yunshu slapped his hand away and smiled. For some reason, she actually started to worry about the country and the people.
"Then can we still go to the lantern festival tonight?"
