Chapter 659: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 106
Yuwen Yi's ears turned red, and the redness slowly spread to his cheeks.
"Miss Ji... Miss Ji is also very powerful. She is agile, has excellent martial arts skills, and can kill people without being seen. She has assassinated many generals of the Wujin Kingdom and killed them with one move. She is very efficient. I... I also admire Miss Ji very much."
Ji Yunhuan's face was as red as a peach, and she said shyly, "Your Highness Prince Yi is better at killing people. He fought one against a hundred and held back the main force, which allowed me to launch a successful sneak attack. Huan'er has just entered the battlefield, and thanks to General Yi who saved me many times, Huan'er is grateful in her heart."
Yuwen Yi couldn't help but stepped forward and held Ji Yunhuan's hand. "I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't arrived at Shanhaiguan and passed on the information to me, I might have died in Shanhaiguan. Miss Ji is my lifesaver..."
The two of them began to reminisce about the past as if no one was around, making Song Yan, who was standing next to them, seem particularly redundant.
Song Yan tried to interrupt several times, but no one paid any attention to him. However, he still refused to leave. If he left, he would have even less chance.
After the screen in the middle was removed, a larger table was replaced and tea and snacks were added.
When the Queen Mother saw Ji Yunhuan's shy and timid look, her love was written all over her face. Even with her old eyesight, she could tell that Ji Yunhuan fell in love with Yuwen Yi.
Yuwen Yi sat next to Concubine Jiang, looking honest, and smiled foolishly at Ji Yunhuan.
The Queen Mother was heartbroken. She had originally wanted to promote the marriage between Yuwen Yi and Miss Nie, but now it's all gone wrong!
"I usually think you are a loyal and honest person. You quietly attracted Huan'er's heart. No wonder Huan'er didn't like any of the portraits I brought. It turns out that she fell in love with you!"
Jiang Yanliu gasped in shock. Ji Yunhuan had a special identity. She was once Yier's sister-in-law, which was fine. The key was that Ji Yunhuan was a descendant of the Duke's Mansion and had the military power in the northern border.
The emperor just wanted to use Ji Yunhuan to check and balance Yier. Now that the two of them have developed feelings for each other, the emperor must be even more wary of Yier.
Jiang Yanliu patted Yuwen Yi beside her and scolded, "You fool! Apologize to Miss Ji immediately and don't be rude to her in the future!"
Ji Yunhuan looked like a young girl in love. She hugged the Queen Mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandma, please don't blame him. I was the first one to fall in love with him. Since I was a child, I have always wanted to marry a man as brave as my father when I grow up. His Highness Prince Yi is a martial arts expert. I have liked him for a long time."
"But he is dull by nature and has never understood Huan'er's heart. Just now, he was dancing with a sword below, and Huan'er was overjoyed. He also saw Huan'er and couldn't wait to come up. Huan'er knew that he had me in his heart..."
Ji Yunhuan covered his face, his voice getting lower and lower, as if he was too embarrassed to continue.
The Queen Mother wanted Yuwen Yi to marry a princess, and also wanted to find a knowledgeable and interesting man for Ji Yunhuan, but she never thought of bringing these two people together!
"Huan'er, you are confused! He has clearly planned this for a long time. He knows that you admire Duke Ji. The sword technique he just performed was clearly the Duke's sword technique."
"There are many young men in the capital who are both talented in literature and martial arts, and there are many who are good at martial arts. Duke Ji has taught many of them. If you had told me earlier that you like this kind of person, I would have arranged one for you long ago."
"I just want you to stay in the capital. Yi'er will most likely be stationed at the border in the future. I can't bear to see you suffer in the border, nor do I want you to stay alone in your empty room."
"Huan'er, I know that you fought side by side in the North, and you have a special feeling for him, but life is not like this. When I met your mother, she had already married your father. If I could turn back time, I would rather she had not married Duke Ji."
"She has been traveling between the northern border and the capital for many years. She can't bear to leave her children behind, and she is also worried about the Duke. She is always worried. Huan'er, I don't want you to follow in your mother's footsteps. Yes, your father is a great hero, but when it comes to real life, only you know the bitterness of it."
"Your mother was poisoned because of him, and she happened to be pregnant with you. When you were born, it was extremely dangerous. You and your mother almost died. But your father was far away in the west to quell the rebellion. The children at home didn't dare to cry loudly, for fear of causing trouble to the adults."
"Your three brothers didn't have a good life either. They died at a young age... Hey, you have been weak and sick since childhood. Good boy, Chen country owes the Duke's Mansion a lot. Just live a good life and don't let your parents worry about you in the underworld."
The Queen Mother really treats Ji Yunhuan as her own granddaughter. Only the closest relatives would say such heartfelt words.
Ji Yunhuan was moved. Thinking of her deceased parents, her eyes were filled with mist. She blinked hard to suppress the bitterness in her eyes and said seriously:
"Grandma, my mother has never regretted marrying my father in her life. There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. It's just like drinking water, one knows whether it's hot or cold."
"I am not afraid of hardship, the sandstorms in the north, or the long journey. I can guard the north with him, or retire to the countryside with him. As long as he treats me well, I am willing to do anything. Grandma, I just want to marry him."
Only Yuwen Yi would do anything for her, kill Prince Rui, uncover the forgotten past, and avenge the entire Duke's Mansion!
The Queen Mother only treated Yuwen Yi as a prince who guarded the border, but she wanted to push Yuwen Yi to the highest position!
Song Yan was anxious and immediately expressed his determination, "Miss Ji, I will definitely treat you well..."
The queen quickly stuffed a piece of cake into Song Yan's mouth, "Eating can't stop your mouth, there's nothing for you to do here, so stop thinking about it!"
The Queen had a vague guess that today's matter between Ji Yunhuan and Prince Yi was settled, and the Queen Mother would definitely not be able to persuade Ji Yunhuan, so she would have to agree in the end.
The Queen Mother sighed heavily, "My dear child, how can I bear to let you go to the Northern Territory again? Enough people from the Duke's Mansion died in the Northern Territory. Please let me think about it again, think about it again."
If Prince Yi married Ji Yunhuan, he would no longer be able to go to the Northern Territory. On the one hand, she really couldn't bear to let Ji Yunhuan go to the Northern Territory to suffer. On the other hand, the Duke's Mansion could have checked Prince Yi. If the two got married, Prince Yi would have too much power, which would not be a good thing either.
The Queen knows the Queen Mother's thoughts very well. Even though the Queen Mother favors the younger generation, she still has the Kingdom of Chen in her heart.
The Queen Mother had never considered Prince Yi as the heir to the throne, but the Queen wanted to push Prince Yi to the throne. Since Ji Yunhuan was willing to marry Prince Yi, she was naturally happy to see it happen.
"The northern countries have been conquered, and with famous generals like Xue Qing and Geng Wei stationed there, there is no need for Prince Yi to stay in Shanhaiguan all the time."
"After the celebration is over, the Northern Border Army will escort the envoys from various countries back. Prince Yi can stay in the capital. Some people in the court have also suggested that the princes should be allowed to gain experience in the court. Prince Yi has an upright character and high martial arts skills. He is very suitable to go to the Ministry of Justice to catch thieves and investigate cases."
The Queen Mother hoped that Prince Yi could go to the northern border. This battle made Prince Yi famous throughout the world, and all the northern countries surrendered. With Prince Yi guarding the northern border, they could rest easy.
It's a pity that Ji Yunhuan just fell in love with Prince Yi, so there's nothing else that can be done.
"I will mention this matter to the emperor. Huan'er, I hope you will reconsider it. There is no need to rush to decide. You may find someone who suits you better."
