Chapter 183 Something is Wrong
Ji Wenyi asked everyone around him, "Didn't she come today?"
The chief secret guard had been traveling with Ji Wenyi all day, his mind still immersed in work. "My lord, Lord Liang will be here shortly."
Ji Wenyi: "Gong Zhaoyi."
"You are talking about Gong, Gong..." The secret guard never thought that one day Ji Wenyi would say a woman's name. He was so shocked that he stuttered, "I don't know."
"I will ask the Empress Zhaoyi to come over."
"No need." Ji Wenyi frowned, making it seem like he was clinging to her.
Ji Wenyi looked at the clean dining table in the pavilion and felt inexplicably unhappy: "Where's dinner?"
The merman was surprised. After Ji Wenyi started fasting, he didn't eat when he was alone.
He was terrified: "You didn't give any instructions..."
Ji Wenyi: "Don't you have to eat if I don't give the order?"
The secret guard left in a daze and ordered the imperial chef to prepare food.
After the servants brought the sumptuous food and wine, Ji Wenyi put down his chopsticks after taking only one bite.
The delicacies from land and sea that you are tired of eating are far less fresh and delicious than the meals made by Ye Xiaoman herself.
"I can't taste any sincerity."
Ji Wenyi waved his sleeves and left, leaving the imperial chefs standing there thinking hard.
Your Highness, do you still want to savor the true feelings of the world through food? They have been cooking for decades and know that articles can be written with rich emotions, but they really don’t know how to make a dish full of emotion.
Ji Wenyi returned to the study. When the leopard beast heard the door being pushed open, it ran over excitedly with a hydrangea in its mouth.
The master and the pet looked at each other for a moment, then the leopard beast took the ball back with disappointment, turned its back to Ji Wenyi, looked out the window, and missed the smell of the dragonweed.
Ji Wenyi was annoyed just looking at him, "Get lost."
He sat down at the desk, and in front of him was still a pile of memorials.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea that his subordinates had prepared long ago.
His brows furrowed even tighter, and he let go.
The cedar needles used by Ye Xiaoman were spiritual herbs that she cultivated using the spiritual energy of the five spiritual roots. No matter how good the materials used in the Prince's Mansion were, they always lacked a unique fragrance.
Ji Wenyi began to grind the ink. After grinding it on the inkstone for a few times, he became angry again. He needed to do such a small thing himself. "Three or seven."
The secret guard was grinding ink on the side, and the work should be able to continue. Ji Wenyi opened a roll of memorials and felt light on his thighs again.
Recently, he would hold Ye Xiaoman in his arms while working, and occasionally she would rest her head on his lap and read picture books while he was busy.
There should be a soft weight on his legs.
Ji Wenyi glanced at the secret guard.
The secret guard shuddered. He had a limit to his work. Besides, his muscular body wouldn't be pleasing to the eye when sitting in a man's arms.
Ji Wenyi seemed to see through his thoughts and rarely lost his elegance. He grabbed the memorial and threw it at him, "Get out."
The secret guard quickly ran out of the study and poked his head back in after a while, "Master, we're going to dry orchids tonight..."
Ji Wenyi didn't even raise his head, and lost interest in Aihua. "You are responsible."
Ji Wenyi was unhappy, as if the game was in full swing when his opponent suddenly left.
He remembered what Ji Weiming said to him after he left the court today:
"Royal brother, I plan to arrange for Concubine Gong to fake her death after the fasting month. I will marry her, and our marriage will surely be met with a lot of criticism. I hope you can support me."
Ji Wenyi was almost killed by his own brother's stupidity. Ji Weiming probably doesn't know the true identity of his sweetheart. Her name is Xiangla Ji Tuibao, not the eldest princess Gong Xier of Ximing Kingdom.
She had no feelings for him, only deception, and he wanted to throw everything away for her.
Ji Wenyi asked Ji Weiming: "Do you know what kind of person she is?"
Ji Weiming was stunned for a moment, "I have been very open with her, so I naturally know that she is worthy."
Ji Wenyi said meaningfully: "Soon, you will see through her. If at that time, you are still determined, I will agree to your marriage."
Ji Wenyi took the initiative to contact Ye Xiaoman.
It wasn't because he felt uncomfortable without her company today, but because he wanted to scold her.
She has been slow to get into the mood and wondered how long it would take for Ji Weiming to give up.
Ye Xiaoman received his message.
Her face appeared on the magic screen, and Ji Wenyi saw her squatting in the blind corner of the spiritual garden like a thief.
She moved the camera slightly behind her shoulder, allowing Ji Wenyi to see the distant figure behind her. Ji Weiming, who was watering the spiritual herbs with his head down, also entered the picture.
Ye Xiaoman moved the camera back to her face, pressed her lips with her hand and whispered, "Your Highness, as you can see, it's not convenient for me."
Ji Wenyi felt a little better when he saw her, but when he saw Ji Weiming again, his anger started to rise again.
"How dare you break my promise?"
"I'm just following your instructions," Ye Xiaoman said sincerely, "You asked me to accept Prince Rui, and I accepted. The sublimation of feelings takes time, and he also needs my company."
Ji Wenyi: "Come over tonight."
"I have no choice. I need to take a leave today," Ye Xiaoman complained bitterly. "You have two people, and I only have one person and two pairs of hands. The donkeys in the production team also need a rest."
Ye Xiaoman asked Ji Wenyi to look at the mud on her hands. "I spent a whole day planting spiritual herbs with Ji Weiming. I can fall asleep right now if I close my eyes."
Ji Wenyi narrowed her eyes and stared at Ji Weiming who was busy behind her for a while.
A prince was actually doing the work of a servant, digging holes and burning fertilizer.
"Isn't it Ji Weiming who's doing the work?"
"Ah?" Ye Xiaoman pointed at her face in distress, "But he hugged me and kissed me for a long time."
Ji Wenyi said sarcastically, "Yes, you have made Ji Weiming infatuated in just a few days. You have completed your mission very well."
Ye Xiaoman was complacent, "Yeah, I think so too."
Ji Wenyi was speechless. He stared at the red mark on her cheek for a while and said, "Come see me tomorrow morning."
Ye Xiaoman: "But I've already made an appointment with Ji Weiming to go..."
Ji Wenyi: "Turn it off."
After the command was given, the video was immediately hung up.
Ye Xiaoman whistled happily.
Are you angry? Of course you are very angry.
Competition will create a sense of crisis and make people invest more.
Like the last item in a supermarket. You're still picking and choosing, but then several people rush in and snap it up, some even paying exorbitant prices. The item's appeal suddenly increases. You initially didn't want to buy it, but now you're left with a sense of urgency, feeling like you'll be at a disadvantage if you don't. Consumerism has emptied your wallet.
For a man like Ji Wenyi who has competition in his bones, the desire to win is the driving force of his emotions.
She is possessive and narcissistic, and the fact that she chose Ji Weiming between them is enough to make him angry to death.
whee.
The maids brought drinks to Ye Xiaoman.
Ji Weiming wiped the sweat off Ye Xiaoman's face, and the silhouettes of the two of them leaning against each other were cast on the ground, what a perfect couple.
They had already developed feelings for Ye Xiaoman and were concerned about her safety, so they discussed the matter quietly when they retired.
"Every time I see Prince Rui, I always think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's so scary."
"But King Rui seems like a good man."
"Should we tell Prince Rui about the Crown Prince's harassment of Master Ye? Let him help us get justice."
