Upon hearing Ji Shishi's words, Jiang Ming felt a pang of pain in his groin.
really!
His worst fears have come true...
As the old saying goes, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against others.
A smart person can always anticipate the wicked intentions of others.
Having made such a great contribution, and with the Xianbei people being as obedient as 'good children' and highly cooperating with his actions, it was possible that the highest level of the Yan state would consider and be wary of this.
Jiang Ming had already considered this possibility on his way here.
He just hadn't expected Ji Shishi to be so direct, asking him directly to his face...
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming held Ji Shishi tightly in his arms and smiled faintly: "Princess, it's not that I, Jiang Ming, am arrogant, but have you ever seen a Xianbei person who can write poetry?"
"Never..."
Ji Shishi frankly said, "They are all uncivilized savages. I heard that... their wedding ceremony involves wrapping the woman in animal skin and sending her naked to her husband's house. Such vulgar behavior is no different from that of beasts!"
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming gently patted her soft, snow-white shoulder and pondered, "So-called spies must have ulterior motives. What benefits can these Xianbei people give me? To make me risk my life for them? What they can give me, the Princess can give me as well. What they can't give me, the Princess can give me... Tell me, why should I listen to them?"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I have been studying under a hermit since I was a child, and I have worked hard to learn skills, hoping that one day I can make contributions to the country and achieve great things. Unfortunately, the Song ruler is incompetent and the country is weak, so it is difficult to make a difference... If the Yan ruler can give me an important position, I will definitely be able to help him achieve hegemony!"
"My lord!"
Ji Shishi held Jiang Ming's hand tightly, looked at him affectionately, and said, "Now that I am your woman, I will help you wholeheartedly. My lord, if you want to display your talents in Yan, there is absolutely no problem!"
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming pinched Ji Shishi's chin, carefully examining her gentleness and beauty, and pondered, "The Princess has no children yet, is that right?"
"Um......"
Jiang Ming's words made Ji Shishi feel ashamed and embarrassed, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. She muttered softly, "My lord, do you want me to have a child for you?"
"Hmm, I wonder if the Princess would be willing?"
"I'm willing..."
Ji Shishi said shyly in a low voice, "Shishi is willing to bear children for my beloved, to continue our lineage..."
Jiang Ming turned over and embraced Ji Shishi, about to spend some more time with her, when he heard a maid outside report: "Your Highness the Princess... the Minister of Justice has arrived, saying he wishes to invite Young Master Jiang..."
