Capital city, the Golden Throne Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Weiguang Shijin's one-month business trip vacation lasted for two months before he returned.
She also brought a strange man back home.
Soon, the reputation of the Crown Princess's bad conduct reached the ears of the noble families.
Even the usually dignified and self-restrained emperor could not hold back, and he and a group of old ministers jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, angrily accusing the princess of disregarding etiquette and being extremely licentious.
Of course, Wei Guang Shi Jin could guess Huang Guifu's purpose.
He just wants to get himself out of office and then support his own idiot daughter to take the position.
If Wei Guang Shi Jin had not been afraid of the military power in the hands of his mother's family, he would have kept his stupid daughter in the capital and kept her under control. Otherwise, he would have transferred her to the fiefdom long ago.
He wouldn't still be so confident thinking that the queen mother hadn't sent his daughter to the fiefdom for a long time because she was planning to pass the throne to that idiot!
Facing charges of crimes from several people.
In the dim light, there was no trace of worry in Jin's cold expression: "Replying to the Queen Mother, I am traveling west this time. One is to help the Queen Mother to investigate the situation of various border cities. The other is to find the figure of an old friend."
The woman sitting in the high position, although already in her middle age, still had the beautiful face she had when she was young.
"How's the border patrol going?"
Shi Jin bowed and replied, "The border defense is very strong. I heard that since last year, there has been no more disturbance of the people by the barbarians. Moreover, the Yun family has been guarding the border for many years. In the past two years, it has been easy to deal with the barbarians. We have defeated the barbarians repeatedly."
"Good! Good! Good! The Yun family has been loyal and brave for generations. They are indeed rare talents in our dynasty." The Queen exclaimed.
The ministers below also followed suit.
"You said I should find a young man from a noble family to marry the two young ladies of the Yun family. What do you think? I remember that the two young generals of the Yun family are both of marriageable age."
After the Queen said this, none of the ministers who had just been flattering her dared to speak.
After all, these people are as shrewd as monkeys, and they keep their precious young sons to marry into other noble families in the capital and form in-laws.
If you go to this bitter and cold place, you may never come back.
General Li's group, led by Huang Guifu, quickly knelt down and suggested: "I think Prime Minister Zheng's grandson is good."
Hearing this, Wei Guang Shi Jin couldn't help but clench his fists. Prime Minister Zheng was the mentor of the princess, and his only son was married to Xiaoyao Villa, and he only had a precious little son.
Moreover, Wei Yanchu and the Crown Princess grew up together. If the Prime Minister had not been reluctant to let him marry too early, Shi Jin would have married him long ago.
Everyone in the court is well aware of the twists and turns involved.
Now he is putting on this show, just to trick the Crown Princess.
Shi Jin bowed quickly and said, "General Yun's eldest daughter is already married, and the second daughter has also arranged two marriages. It is estimated that they will be married in May."
Hearing this, the Queen sighed: "That's such a pity. Prime Minister Zheng's grandson is really good, but he hasn't been engaged yet!"
The prime minister was also a little worried just now. He only has this one precious son. If his grandson married into a place like Mobei, his son would cry to him for three days and three nights.
Prime Minister Zheng quickly said, "Xiaochu has not yet been engaged."
The queen nodded and seemed quite satisfied: "Shi Jin seems to be getting older. He just turned sixteen a few months ago. It's time for him to get engaged."
The Queen actually loved the escaped Queen Feng very much, and even did not appoint another Queen for many years because of her. Therefore, she also loved the only daughter left by Queen Feng very much.
Prime Minister Zheng was also a veteran in the officialdom, and he quickly understood what the Queen meant. It was simply that the Queen could not openly cultivate power for the Crown Princess, so the marriage had to be sought on her own initiative.
Prime Minister Zheng thought about it and decided to ask for it! At least he left his grandson in the capital. If she really married him to the border, it would be too late for her to regret it.
"I dare to ask for a marriage for my grandson. I am old now, and I only hope to see Xiaochu get married. I hope the emperor can find a good marriage for my grandson."
The emperor laughed three times in a row, and said with satisfaction: "Shi Jin is a child you have watched grow up, and his character is impeccable. Let's draft an imperial decree to grant them marriage today!"
In the dim light, Shi Jin and Zheng Chenglian knelt down hurriedly to express their gratitude.
The Queen was also very satisfied with the result.
A few of Guifu's cronies were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they didn't expect that they would end up shooting themselves in the foot.
The Queen seemed to have remembered something and continued to ask, "Didn't you just say that you were going to the border to look for an old friend? Did you find him?"
Shi Jin quickly knelt down and saluted: "My Queen, this is the second thing I want to report to you. Please forgive me for my transgression first."
When Queen Feng fled the capital, the young empress had ordered that no one could go looking for him and that they had to wait until he came back willingly.
"Speak! I forgive you."
After hearing these words, Shi Jin dared to report to Ji Yu.
"I found Ji Yizhi."
Because when Queen Feng escaped, the empress abolished his position as queen, although there was no Queen Feng later. But now Shi Jin is the crown princess, she dare not call him daddy or any other name in the court.
She was also afraid of being caught by that group of people.
Hearing the three words "Ji Yizhi", the string in the Queen's head that had been taut for many years seemed to suddenly break at this moment.
Countless memories came to my mind, and in the end I could only ask tremblingly: "Where are they? Why did they come back? Why are they hiding and refusing to see me?"
The emperor seemed to have aged a lot at once. Hearing his name, he even changed his usual self-reference to "I" out of habit.
The ministers below also began to panic. After all, if that man came back, it meant that the emperor's wife would never be the queen, and their seventh princess would never be the legitimate daughter.
Shi Jin sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "He is dead. He has been dead for almost ten years."
Hearing the word "dead", several court officials were visibly relieved. Some court officials who had admired Ji Yizhi when they were young could not help but sigh with regret.
The middle-aged emperor seemed unwilling to believe it and murmured, "Are you lying to me? Yizhi cherishes his life the most, how could he die? He must be hiding from me and not wanting to see me, so I let you lie to me."
The queen seemed to be convinced by this reason and continued, "I heard yesterday that you brought a man back home, right? It must be Yizhi who asked you to deceive people."
Shi Jin knelt straight, and his tone seemed to be filled with sadness: "The one I brought back was the emperor's younger brother! Ji Yizhi died, and I brought back his body."
The emperor on the high platform finally murmured, "I forgot that he took one more person away... I am tired, let's adjourn the court today!"
"Does the Queen Mother want to see him? Although Queen Feng was wrong to flee without permission, my infant brother is not at fault! Moreover, he has suffered a lot living alone outside these years..."
"I'm tired, let's talk about it later!"
