Chapter 267: Marquis's Madam vs. Younger Prince 10
Jing Yu rushed in with a framed scroll and slammed it on the table, scaring the eldest princess.
The princess went to look at the painting and said angrily, "You are so old, but you are still so clumsy. Don't ruin it."
Jing Yu clenched his fists and stared at Ji Yunhuan with his almond-shaped eyes. "What kind of person is Liang Wanzhou! Why did you help him when he treated you like that?"
The princess actually didn't want to help Liang Wanzhou, so she advised him, "Marquis Xuanwu is not well educated and can't be a proper examiner for the imperial examination. At most, he can be mixed with the servants and be an invigilator. I feel ashamed to plan this for him."
"The Ji family is a family of scholars, so there must be outstanding young people. I can help them find a proper official position in the court, so why not leave the opportunity to the Ji family..."
The eldest princess was suddenly stuck.
Huan'er's father was already the prime minister of the dynasty, and he was considered to be the highest-ranking official in the civil service. Naturally, he did not need help from the eldest princess.
Huan'er's mother was injured when she gave birth to her, and she had been recuperating but was unable to give birth to another child. So Chief Minister Ji took a concubine, who gave birth to two sons and a daughter. After all, they were half-brothers and half-sisters, so there was still a level of distance between them.
As for the Ji family's side branches, they are even further away.
When the princess thought of this, she felt even more distressed for Ji Yunhuan.
If Ji's mother is unable to give birth to a child, she will probably have to treat the illegitimate child as her legitimate son and raise him as her own. A child born by someone else cannot be as caring as one's own. When the child grows up, it is unknown what kind of situation he will be in.
"Then keep it for now. There is no need to rush. When you have a child in the future, whether it is a boy or a girl, I will definitely help him find a good future and a good marriage, and will never let him suffer any injustice."
Ji Yunhuan was grateful in her heart. She knew that the princess was sincerely considering her. However, she planned this task for Liang Wanzhou not to help Liang Wanzhou, but to push him to death.
In her previous life, she was deprived of her power as housekeeper, and the old lady schemed against her to hand over her dowry. She was also bullied by concubines and could not even raise her head. She was strong-willed by nature and managed to hold on, refusing to ask her father for help.
But her father still saw her difficulties and arranged this job for Liang Wanzhou at the end of the year, which made her life a little better.
Liang Wanzhou gained some real power. Although it was only an invigilator, a temporary position, he became rampant. He even dared to accept bribes and agreed to allow candidates to bring cheating materials into the examination room.
Ji Yunhuan tried every means to stop him and even threatened to commit suicide, which made Liang Wanzhou furious and finally he gave up the idea.
Cheating in the imperial examination has always been a taboo. A lot of people will fall to the ground if there is any disturbance! Liang Wanzhou really dares to do it! Stupid and greedy!
Ji Yunhuan lowered her head, her long eyelashes slightly drooping, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She folded her hands in front of her, put on a gentle and virtuous look, and bowed to the princess:
"Please ask the princess to help Huan'er. Huan'er has already married into the Xuanwu Marquis's mansion. No matter whether the Marquis is good or bad, I will rise and fall with him."
"No matter how unpromising the Marquis is, what can I, a woman, do? I can only try my best to help him."
A dark light flashed in Ji Yunhuan's eyes. She was indeed making serious plans for Liang Wanzhou, but she was planning to send Liang Wanzhou to his death.
Jing Yu smashed the table hard with his fist, leaving a dent in the solid wood. Jing Yu's hands were stained with blood and he was shaking with anger.
Liang Wanzhou, this bastard! Why did Sister Huan treat him so sincerely and make all kinds of plans for him?
"You are so considerate of him, will he remember your kindness? If he is not married to the Ji family, who in the literary circle of the capital would care about him, the Marquis Xuanwu? He...he is an ungrateful person! I really want to...I want to kill..."
The eldest princess' heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she quickly stuffed a piece of cake into Jing Yu's mouth.
"Eating can't stop your mouth. If you can't talk, just shut up!"
The princess helped Huan'er up and said with a smile, "I was mistaken. Huan'er is the most gentle and virtuous. As time goes by, the Marquis will surely understand your true feelings. Only when the Marquis is well can you be well. Huan'er, don't worry. I will definitely do this for you."
Ji Yunhuan thanked the princess, then found the medicine box, carefully wiped the blood off Jing Yu's hands, applied ointment, and gently wrapped them up.
"Don't be so reckless in the future. You are a prince, so you should have the bearing of a prince. Even if Mount Tai collapses before your eyes, you should remain calm and composed. No matter what happens, you must not hurt yourself."
Jing Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
He understood all these principles, he just couldn't bear to see Sister Huan being wronged, he really couldn't bear it!
But he could do nothing. His remaining sanity told him not to touch Liang Wanzhou. If Liang Wanzhou became disabled, paralyzed, or dead, Sister Huan's life would only become more miserable. He could not harm Sister Huan.
Ji Yunhuan left after bandaging Jing Yu. If she had done more, it would have seemed deliberate.
It's just right now. Jing Yu misses her and thinks about her in his heart. If Jing Yu really wants to marry her in the future, the fertility pill will come in handy.
She would support Jing Yu to ascend the throne, give birth to children for him, and raise their children carefully. She would be very good to Jing Yu.
After Ji Yunhuan left, Jing Yu had no intention of staying in the Princess's Mansion. He returned to the palace with a lot of anger, and met the Second Prince Jinghui on the way.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come your hand is injured? If someone is bullying you, tell me and I will vent your anger for you."
The second prince's appearance was only ordinary, with a kind and honest face. He smiled a little when he spoke and was quite sincere, as if he really was a good brother who cared about his younger brother.
Jing Yu never hid anything from his second brother, but since this matter concerned Sister Huan's reputation, he naturally would not tell everything.
"I just went to my aunt's house. My aunt asked me to frame her paintings. I accidentally hurt my hand, but it's nothing serious."
The second prince pretended to be worried and said, "I see. In the summer, wounds are prone to festering. This bandage is too crude. You should go see the imperial physician."
Jing Yu said "hmm" absentmindedly and was about to move forward when he heard a complaining voice behind him.
[I don’t know how this silly boy won the favor of the princess. When I went to visit my aunt, she ignored me. But when Jing Yu came, she was so happy.]
Jing Yu paused in his steps, turned around and said in surprise, "Second brother, I didn't hear clearly what you said about my aunt."
The second prince smiled and said, "I didn't say anything just now. You are always thinking about your aunt. Did you hear me wrong?"
Jing Yu felt that he had heard correctly. He looked at the Second Prince suspiciously and frowned, "Does Second Brother have any problem with Aunt?"
The second prince pretended to be concerned about Jing Yu and deliberately lowered his voice to persuade:
"Don't say that my second brother didn't remind you. Father doesn't like you to be too close to the princess. It seems that you are more filial to the princess than to father. In the future, you should not go to the princess's house if you have nothing to do."
Jing Yu kept staring at the Second Prince. The Second Prince's mouth clearly didn't move, but he could hear the Second Prince's voice.
[Fools are really lucky. He got the support of the eldest princess for no reason. The eldest princess' words still carry a lot of weight. We can't let the eldest princess only have eyes for Jing Yu and help him seize the position of crown prince.]
