He picked one and brought it to his nose to sniff it. "It smells nice, but it doesn't have the spirit of the flowers at home."
As he was speaking, a male voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"The Marshal's Mansion is a place of outstanding people and talents, so naturally the flowers will bloom more vigorously."
Ji Xiangying turned around and looked at the handsome man in front of her, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, "Who are you?"
Zi Yi bowed calmly, "Zi Yi greets Lord Ji, Lord Ji, may you live a thousand years."
Upon hearing Ziyi's name, Ji Xiangying narrowed his eyes, "Oh, you are the Shun Cejun that His Majesty personally gave you the name?"
Ziyi bent lower and lower, "In reply to Mr. Ji, it is Ziyi."
"Humph, you really are born with a foxy appearance."
Facing Ji Xiangying's challenge, he spoke humbly, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Di Shijun for the honor of being given a name by His Majesty."
"Servant Di?"
Ji Xiangying immediately became alert. After all, compared to Ziyi who had just gained favor, Di Zixiao's name was more famous.
This man was truly exceptional, and even those outside the palace had heard of him. Not only did he have Emperor Man build a palace for him, but he was also elevated to the position of a noble prince.
But thinking that he had fallen out of favor, Ji Xiangying turned the peach blossom in her hand nonchalantly, "What does it have to do with Di Zixiao? He has already fallen out of favor."
Zi Yi sighed, "If it's really as what Ji Jun said, then I won't be favored. The thing is..."

After a moment, Ji Xiangying's expression grew even uglier. "Are you saying that His Majesty ignored Di Zixiao just to vent his anger on him?"
"Yes, that's why His Majesty gave me the name Shun and took me to the Yan Gui Palace. Perhaps he wanted to make Di Shijun change his mind."
Zi Yi's tone grew increasingly depressed as he spoke. "Anyway, in this palace, Di Shijun is the apple of His Majesty's eye. If it weren't for the instant connection between Ji Jun and me, I wouldn't be saying so much. Ji Jun, please be careful when interacting with Di Shijun."
"careful?"
Ji Xiangying sneered and said bluntly, "Do you think I'm from a humble background like you and can be manipulated by others? I came from the Marshal's Mansion. I don't think anyone dares to go against me."
Seeing Ji Xiangying getting angry, Ziyi started to add weight, "Your Highness, you don't know that, not to mention others, even Lord Feng doesn't dare to offend him, so Your Highness should mind his own business."
This provocation made Ji Xiangying even more angry. "What's wrong with a female prime minister? No matter how high her position is, she's just a civil servant. How can she compare to my grandmother? And that Di Zixiao, a bastard from a barbarian land, dares to show off his power? I have to go and see."
After saying that, Ji Xiangying threw the peach branch on the ground and walked towards the Yangui Palace in a menacing manner.
