"The Duke of Zhenguo has no wives or concubines in his family. He only has one wife, the old lady, who gave birth to two sons."
"One of them died during the siege, never having the chance to marry or have children."
"The other one is Miss Zheng's biological father, who also died of a sudden illness when she was born."
"So now, the Zhenguogong Mansion only has Miss Zheng as its descendant."
After Yanyun explained the reason, Ji Changying understood.
Since she came from a military family, it was no wonder that the girl, clearly frightened to death, still mustered up the courage to step forward and save people.
However, this shows that the family tradition of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is quite good.
Ji Changying felt a bit favorable towards her: "If that's the case, then I'll do it."
A smile appeared on Yanyun's face: "I will go back there right away!"
"Aying!" Zhou rushed over happily. "Come on, come on, let's go to the warehouse! Your father is nowhere to be seen all day, and Xiaochuan is stuck in the house reading all day. It's so boring. Let's go check out the gold!"
Ji Changying said helplessly: "My father just went to Taichang Temple to take up his post. He will definitely be busy for a while. After this period of time, I will probably be able to accompany you more often."
"He can go wherever he wants, I don't care!"
Zhou waved her hand.
She couldn't go to the military camp now, and couldn't wield weapons. It was so boring to have so much free time. She might as well go to the warehouse to check for gold.
Aunt Hua had already been standing at the door of the storeroom, smiling brightly: "I have registered all the things inside. These are given by the Emperor and His Majesty to the Princess and the County Lord."
When the warehouse was opened, Ji Changying’s eyes were almost blinded.
Various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rouge and powder, silk fabrics, gold and silver jewelry filled almost an entire room. In a prominent position on the side, there was also a cabinet full of precious medicinal materials.
"Huh? So many medicinal herbs?"
Ji Changying looked at the herbs and asked in confusion.
"It was Her Majesty who said that the princess suffered greatly in order to save her, and that most of the compensation from Beiyan was given to the princess to replenish her body."
Zhou didn't care about these things. She walked over, grabbed a bracelet and put it on her hand: "This looks good!"
“This one works too!”
"This looks great! I'll give it to my sister-in-law later!"
"This, this, looks valuable! I want to give it to my mother!"
After a while, Zhou had selected several things. Nanny Hua stood behind her, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After thinking for a moment, she cruelly reminded her, "Princess, it's the Queen's birthday... You and the young masters haven't given anything yet..."
Zhou also reacted after hearing this, looking at these things with some melancholy: "These are all given to me by her. I can't give them to her again, right? The key is that she has everything she wants, what can I give her?"
When Ji Changying heard her mother say this, she immediately said, "Although Your Majesty doesn't need anything, whether you send me something or not is a token of your mother's affection. Why don't we go out and look around to see if there's anything suitable?"
"That's fine! Then take the money and let's go out and take a look!"
Zhou thought about it and felt that what her daughter said made sense. She put down her things, turned around and pulled Ji Changying out to go shopping.
"Princess! There's a carriage!"
Aunt Hua quickly chased after them and tried to stop them.
Zhou waved her hands impatiently: "It's not far from here, why take a carriage? You can just walk there! If you want to go, come with us. If not, just wait at home."
Seeing that Zhou was running out of patience, Nanny Hua didn't dare to say anything more and quickly called Yanyun to follow.
Not far from the princess's mansion, we soon arrived at a busy street.
"This street sells everything. Your Majesty used to like weapons and things like that, but now she's cultivating her character and loves flowers and plants. If you don't know what to buy, you can go to the flower market on the west side and see if there are any rare potted toys."
After a brief discussion, Zhou and Ji Changying decided to go.
After all, it is a gift for someone else, so of course you have to give it something that the other person likes. What's more, Ji Changying is also very curious about how the bonsai in the capital are different from those in later generations.
Arriving at the flower market, the atmosphere was indeed different.
The doors of most street shops were decorated with evergreen trees and lush green potted plants. A carriage would pass by from time to time. There were very few people walking on the street like them, and even if there were, they were mostly servants.
But everyone was hurrying in one direction, which made Zhou and Ji Changying look over there involuntarily, quickening their pace and following.
There were several carriages parked on the side of the street.
Gongye Hong, along with General Luo and several followers, stood in the middle and blocked the way of a carriage.
"You smashed this pot of flowers and you still want to leave? No way!"
Luo Chengwu's eyes widened as he looked at the person opposite him with anger on his face.
The groom stood aside, trembling: "I didn't mean to do that, can you..."
"No! Let your master come down and apologize to us!" Luo Chengwu didn't even look at the coachman, but looked inside the carriage with some anger.
This person is so unreasonable. He clearly heard the noise outside, but he still sat in the car and refused to get out!
The Marquis of Xuanping in the carriage was a little impatient when he heard the voice and ordered his attendant beside him: "Pay him compensation."
The attendant got off the carriage, frowned, pulled off the pouch at his waist and threw it at Luo Chengwu: "It's just a pot of flowers, is that enough?"
Luo Chengwu was furious at his frivolous action and let the purse roll off his body and onto the ground without reaching out to grab it.
"Get down here!"
Luo Chengwu took a quick step forward, grabbed the carriage door, and lifted up the shaft of the entire carriage.
The people around who were watching the fun exclaimed: "What a great strength!"
Ji Changying had already seen the person in the car, but unfortunately she didn't recognize him.
I just felt that the middle-aged man in the car looked familiar between his eyebrows.
Zhou couldn't help but cheer: "Good! Well done!"
When Gongye Hong heard this out-of-place voice, he turned around and sighed that the world was really small.
It’s these two again!
"Let go! I've already compensated you, what else do you want? If you do this again, I won't be polite!"
Xie Yongxiang drew the sword from his waist, shocked and angry.
"Not only did your master not come down to apologize after breaking my prince's flowers, he even dared to look down on us. Do you think my prince is short of money?! Get off right here! Or I'll personally bring him down!"
Luo Chengwu sneered and shouted angrily into the carriage.
When Marquis Xuanping heard Luo Chengwu's words, his face changed.
Nowadays, there is probably no one else who can be called the prince except the one from Northern Yan.
"It's General Luo. Excuse me! Please let me get off the carriage so I can talk."
Luo Chengwu snorted and put down the shaft.
The attendant glared at him, then turned around and helped Marquis Xuanping down from the carriage.
"I just took a short rest. I wonder why the general is targeting us?" Marquis Xuanping stood in place, shook his robe, and asked loudly.
Luo Chengwu folded his arms and looked at him with disdain: "Who are you?"
"I am the eldest princess's husband, the Minister of the Imperial Household, and the Marquis of Xuanping."
