Chapter 384: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 127
When the Empress got angry, the Emperor didn't dare to say a word, and the two younger ones were even more afraid to speak.
Ji Yunhuan knew that his two sons were not easy to deal with, so he said with a smile: "Xiao Rui, be good, no matter how much your sister cries, you are not allowed to give it to her."
In the hot summer day, Jingrui shuddered for no reason. It didn't matter if he offended his father. At most he would be beaten up. But if he made his mother angry, it would be terrible. Even his father would not help him.
Ji Yunhuan tapped Jingxuan's head and said with a smile: "Xiaoxuan, mother knows that you are smart, but you are lazy. Anyway, you have your elder brother. He will hold up the sky if it falls. Mother is too lazy to force you."
"From now on, the responsibility of taking care of my sister will be handed over to you. If she gets any strange toys, I will only ask you! Don't say that I can't watch her. I don't believe it. If you didn't interfere, how did these things get into your sister's room?"
Jing Xuan knew he was in the wrong and uttered a "hmm" in a depressed tone.
It's so annoying. He agreed to help his sister because his sister was so annoying. Now he has to keep an eye on his sister and not let her do anything wrong. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
The princesses soon reached the age to start school, and Ji Yunhuan threw them all into the Royal Library.
Jing Yu was like an empty-nest elderly person, he kept repeating the same thing several times a day. The princesses only came back once every five days, and Jing Yu was worried about them. Every separation felt like a farewell of life and death.
Qiqi thought that after leaving the palace, she would always be able to get the "toy" she wanted, but her second brother was like a mountain standing in front of her. It was useless to act coquettishly, to threaten her, and no matter how hard and soft she used her tactics, her second brother just refused to give in, so that she dreamed of chewing on a musket.
Many years later, Ji Yunhuan's words came true. Qiqi, despite her status as a princess, really ended up entering the "lowest class" firearms bureau.
The Firearms Bureau is under the Ministry of Works. Not to mention a Firearms Bureau, the Ministry of Works has always been at the bottom of the contempt chain. A Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue may be more powerful than a Minister of Works.
Most of the female officials at that time were palace eunuchs. Princess Yaoyao was a first-rank female official who was in charge of many matters.
Princess Yaoyao is dignified and elegant. She is proficient in poetry and songs, and has the demeanor of a queen. She also likes to study calligraphy, painting and embroidery. She is a very orthodox royal princess.
Princess Qiqi was an unconventional person. When ministers mentioned this rebellious princess, they all sighed. However, the people were more familiar with Princess Qiqi. Princess Qiqi loved to have fun with the people. Many people inside and outside the capital had seen Princess Qiqi.
Princess Kiki wants to join the Firearms Bureau. Given the princess's long criminal record, few dare to object. However, most of the officials in the Firearms Bureau are low-level officials, and as a princess, she must be given a resounding title.
The Ministry of Personnel thought hard and finally created a position for the princess, a female official of the first rank, and stuffed her into the Firearms Bureau.
With a loud bang, the huge artillery frightened the invading foreign enemies. The territory of Jing State continued to advance westwards. Many small countries surrendered to it. The trade routes were unimpeded, the treasury was full, and the country was finally no longer stretched to the limit.
Before the Firearms Bureau gradually became known to the world, Princess Qiqi separated the Firearms Bureau from the Ministry of Industry and, like the Royal Guards, it was directly governed by the royal family.
After years of painstaking study, seeing the countless bones destroyed by artillery fire and the prosperity of today, she finally understood what her mother had said.
She created the beast, so she must control it.
When it comes to a country’s most important weapon, deterrence is the first priority and it should not be moved without authorization.
The Firearms Bureau holds a vital position. Before anyone knew it, Princess Qiqi had already started attending court, and the female officials seemed to be not limited to the inner court, they appeared in more and more places.

It's spring again.
Today is the birthday of the two princesses. The emperor adjourned court three days in advance and, at Princess Yaoyao's request, chose Mulan Paddock as the venue for the birthday banquet.
Mulan Paddock is full of life, with gentle breeze, lush grass and chirping birds. It is indeed a great place for entertainment.
Princess Qiqi rode a maroon BMW and reached out to pull her sister, "Come on, I'll take you hunting. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up."
Yaoyao was wearing an elegant skirt and her features resembled those of Ji Yunhuan. She was as beautiful as a painting standing there, completely different from that naughty monkey Qiqi.
Yaoyao frowned and whispered softly, "I won't go! I've asked my father for you to come to Mulan Paddock for your birthday party. You should also fulfill your promise and not disturb me while I'm painting."
Qiqi exclaimed, "We're all out here, why are you still painting? Mother said that we should combine work with rest. You should go out and play more often, and don't stay in the house all day."
Yaoyao walked straight around Qiqi and walked forward quietly.
Mulan Paddock has beautiful scenery and many birds. If she delayed any longer, the birds would fly away. Kiki was too noisy, and she couldn't draw anything with Kiki around.
The palace maid beside her immediately followed, carrying a huge box filled with Princess Yaoyao's paintbrushes and various paints.
Qiqi didn't give up and wanted to persuade her sister again, but she met her uncle halfway.
My uncle is not very old, but he is of a high generation. He looks mature beyond his years and looks like a nerd, seemingly easy to fool.
I heard that the eldest brother and the younger uncle were born on the same day. The eldest brother has been lawless since he was a child and dares to touch anyone. Of course, he will not let the younger uncle go just because he is of a higher generation.
My uncle seems to have no temper. He always smiles when he is bullied and never complains.
It was not until later, when the eldest brother, this fool, was tricked several times, beaten several times, and the banned books he had hidden were confiscated, that he realized that the younger uncle was not a little white rabbit at all, but a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing!
These were all told to Kiki by the second brother as a joke. Kiki has always known how to handle things in a timely manner, so she didn't dare to provoke this young uncle.
Qiqi pulled the reins and called "uncle" with a smile.
Ji Yunhe was also riding a horse, but he didn't like hunting. He came here to look after the children.
His sister was entertaining guests and left a group of children in his care. He felt that he not only had to take care of the orphans, but also his niece, and he must not let his sister worry.
Ji Yunhe pointed to a group of half-grown children not far away and said with a smile: "Do your uncle a favor, and I'll leave these children to you. Today you are the older sister, so you have to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."
Qiqi's eyes lit up and she went there excitedly.
She was born the youngest and had always dreamed of being a big sister, but her father refused to let her mother have any more children. She only hated herself for not running fast enough and being overtaken by Yaoyao, so she became the little sister.
Kiki was so excited to be surrounded by a group of little kids calling her sister that she naturally stopped bothering Yaoyao.
Ji Yunhe asked the servant to release a batch of raised chickens and ducks. A group of children rode on horses and had a lot of fun shooting with smaller bows and arrows. Qiqi naturally shot the most and was so happy that the corners of her mouth seemed to fly to the sky.
