Chapter 616: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 63
Ji Yunhuan was used to Yuwen Yi's silence, so she didn't find it strange and continued talking.
Her father, mother, three brothers, two sisters-in-law, and lovely nephews and nieces... She had received so much love, and there were still people who loved her now. Even though she had died once and was covered in wounds, fortunately she stood up again, and she was still willing to open her heart and love again.
She understood the throbbing in her heart and would no longer ignore it.
The sunlight came in through the thin gauze window and shone on Yuwen Yi's tall and straight back. He was like a straight sword, which would rather break than bend, but he gave all his tenderness to her.
Yuwen Yi would never say anything. He would just protect her behind him again and again. No matter what she wanted to do, Yuwen Yi would let her do it, even if it would go against the will of the world.
Ji Yunhuan tilted his head and smiled, "I've said so much, it's General Yi's turn to speak. General Yi has been away for many years, do you have a sweetheart? Have you ever thought about where you will live for the rest of your life? What's the scenery in the courtyard? Is there a beautiful woman by your side? Are there children playing in the courtyard?"
The atmosphere is so good, it's a good time to open your heart.
Ji Yunhuan put the words to Yuwen Yi's lips. Even the dumbest person would know how to respond. Women should always be reserved. Some words should be left for men.
Yuwen Yi's hand suddenly tightened, and with a snap, the ink stick broke!
He was so flustered that he was at a loss what to do. He mumbled, "I'm sorry! I...I'll go find you another ink stick."
Yuwen Yi rushed out of the door, and Ji Yunhuan followed behind him and shouted, "No need! This is Tianshan Ink, you can't find it! I have more here, come back!"
Yuwen Yi ran faster.
Ji Yunhuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, somewhat confused.
Which step had gone wrong? First of all, excluding the fact that Yuwen Yi didn't like him, all the generals in the northern border had seen it, and the public had sharp eyes.
That's because Yuwen Yi was shy and embarrassed to say it out loud, so he chose to escape.
My mother once said that some people have kept their hearts closed for so long that when they suddenly meet someone they deeply love, they will try their best to stay away from that person.
Yuwen Yi lived in fear in the palace since he was a child, so his temperament was naturally a little strange, but it got better over time.
Ji Yunhuan quickly figured it out, unilaterally forgave Yuwen Yi, and decided to keep trying.
Yuwen Yi sent Xiao Wang to deliver a box of Hui ink, which was also a rare item. Ji Yun happily accepted it and ran to Yuwen Yi to thank him.
She was calm and composed, and continued to discuss business with Yuwen Yi as usual, as if she didn't care at all about the little incident that happened during the day.
Yuwen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful in his heart. It turned out that he was just overthinking. Miss Ji might just be chatting casually, but he misunderstood Miss Ji's meaning and ran away in a panic, which was really rude.
Yuwen Yi suppressed his chaotic thoughts and focused on the matter at hand.
There are still some forces of Yamud remaining in the country of Wujin. They hate the country of Chen deeply. The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and national hatred and family feuds are intertwined. It is unclear who is right and who is wrong. These people fought back desperately and almost killed the new king Yaliji.
Fortunately, Yuwen Yi left someone by Yaliji's side, so Yaliji was able to save his life.
The contract between the two countries was quickly finalized, and Yaliji brought his confidants to Jiayuguan. Most of the old nobles had grudges against the Chen Kingdom, but ordinary people didn't care about that. They just wanted to fill their stomachs. Most of the people around Yaliji were promoted from the common people.
Other small countries followed suit and also sent envoys, led by mostly royal relatives and nobles, and even princes, all of whom had very high status to show their importance.
Yuwen Yi was not very good at dealing with these things. He had only known how to fight wars over the years, and it was never his turn to show up in such scenes.
Fortunately, Ji Yunhuan was there. Ji Yunhuan also knew Yuwen Yi's personality, so he just organized a simple bonfire dinner with barbecue and drinking, and the warriors fought and wrestled with each other to liven up the party. The process was simple, there would be no mistakes, and it could also eliminate barriers and bring people closer together.
Yuwen Yi was surrounded by a group of grassland men. They spoke the Chen dialect in strange and unique styles, which made Yuwen Yi confused.
Yaliji spoke the Chen dialect most fluently, and he was the first to talk to Yuwen Yi, surpassing everyone else.
"May the Wolf God bless His Highness Prince Yi! His Highness promised to allocate a piece of Yueze land for the people of Wujin to live in. The people are all delighted. Since ancient times, men and women who were robbed of land would become slaves. His Highness is kind and did not harm the people. I am deeply grateful."
Yaliji drank three glasses of wine in a row and said, "I have given freedom to many slaves. They will be my people in the future and no longer be slaves of a certain person. In this way, the power of the nobles will be reduced, and I will be able to gradually control the Wujin Kingdom and no longer worry about my life."
"Your Highness, this is indeed a very good idea. I really admire it..."
A prince from a small country pushed aside Arigi. Although it was called a small country, it was actually just an alliance of several tribes. They also wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation and go to the capital to see the excitement.
"Your Highness, Prince Yi, Yaliji only knows how to talk, but I am different. This time I brought you a fine horse and two fine swords. Our tribe has no other skills, but sword forging is our specialty. I present them all to Your Highness."
People on the grassland didn't understand the situation in the capital. They only knew that Yuwen Yi was brave and the emperor's son, so they called him Prince Yi fluently.
Everyone rushed to take out their most precious treasures to please His Royal Highness Prince Yi. Not all tribes were wealthy, and Yuwen Yi was forced to accept strange gifts such as blood-stained stags, tiger teeth, and dried antelope heads.
Someone also brought a beauty drum and introduced it earnestly: "This drum is a sacred object of our clan. The drumhead is made from the skin of the first saint. It smells fragrant and has a clear sound. I present it to His Majesty Prince Yi!"
Even though Yuwen Yi had been through many battles, this thing was still a little beyond his understanding. He pushed away the attentive envoy and said coldly, "Take it away!"
The envoy was panicked. This was the most precious thing in the clan, but it couldn't move the heart of His Royal Highness Prince Yi. Did His Royal Highness Prince Yi have any opinions about them?
They did help Yamud and sent a group of military slaves, but that was also forced by the situation, otherwise Yamud would have attacked their tribe and directly robbed people.
Later, they reacted a little slowly and did not have time to join the Chen army, so Chen won. Could it be that Prince Yi was going to use them as a scapegoat?
The more the envoy thought about it, the more frightened he became. His legs were trembling and he could barely hold the beauty drum.
Ji Yunhuan pulled Yuwen Yi's sleeve and explained, "General Yi will treat you all equally after receiving your letters. He will not accept any gifts. It's not because he is dissatisfied with your tribe, but because the customs of different countries are different."
"Sky burial is popular in your country, and the remains of the saint are even more precious, but Chen country emphasizes burying the dead in the ground. You should take this drum back and worship it properly."
Yuwen Yi rubbed his buzzing head. It was really hard for Ji Yunhuan to be so meticulous. He got a headache just listening to these people talking.
He immediately agreed: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
