Shang Xiye nodded and looked up at the hidden guards around him, saying, "Two men who know their place, give Eunuch Zhao a beating and throw him out. When you throw him out, make sure you say something harsh. Don't worry about offending Consort Yin."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Hu Ji excitedly led the way and jumped out.
Everyone: "..."
This kid used to be so shy, he'd blush even after saying just a few words.
These days, the hooligans are so active they're practically fake.
Zhao Yi shook himself on the ground for a while, only to find that no one paid any attention to him.
Upon suddenly hearing Shang Xiye's words, he looked up in surprise:
Oh My God!
Wasn't this Consort Yin's last instruction to him, telling him to deliberately invite a beating before leaving the mansion?
Before he could even speak, the Ninth Prince took the initiative to give the order;
Does the Ninth Prince possess mind-reading abilities?
"This servant thanks Your Highness for the reward. This servant takes his leave." Zhao Yi was deeply moved that the Ninth Prince had condescended to "read" the inner desires of such a lowly person as himself. He followed Hu Ji out to the outer courtyard to get beaten up.
Soon, the sounds of hitting and Zhao Yi's cries of pain came from the outer courtyard.
Ji Fengming found it very interesting. While inviting Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao to sit down, he said, "That imperial concubine in the palace is quite a remarkable person. Apart from Yao'er and the two maids beside her, she is the first person in the world that I find interesting."
These tactless words were spoken.
Ji Chenhai frowned deeply, looking very troubled: "Why do you have such a taste for this? Your mother has found you all to be beautiful young girls. Isn't this just a waste of all your mother's efforts, and we'll have to find you all over again?"
"Pfft!" Ji Fengyao promptly spat out the half-mouthed tea she had just taken a sip of.
These two!
One of them dares to speak, and the other dares to believe!
Hei Xiao said coldly, "Uncle, don't believe him. Although Consort Yin is beautiful, she is a scheming woman. If Feng Ming marries such a wife, his family will definitely be in turmoil in the future. This matter should be decided according to Aunt's opinion."
“That’s right, Xiao Chen, you’re absolutely right,” Ji Chenhai agreed wholeheartedly, giving Hei Xiao a thumbs up and praising him profusely: “I’m not bragging, but your aunt’s eye for talent is undoubtedly the best in the world. The people she chooses are absolutely perfect! Look at the husband she chose, your uncle, how reliable I am! Yao’er, don’t you think so?”
Ji Fengyao replied instantly and with great sincerity: "Of course, Father is the best father in the world, and Mother is the best mother in the world; Mother has excellent taste, and the sister-in-law she chooses in the future will definitely be just like Mother, gentle, beautiful, and generous!"
Black Owl: "..."
Shang Xiye: "..."
"No... I was just saying something casually, why are you two dragging me into this again? Fine, I won't say anything more." Ji Fengming was completely at a loss for words.
Xiao Chen even personally approved of his mother choosing a marriage partner for him;
His heart truly felt as if it were being pierced by needles!
"Yes, my Yao'er is the most sensible and blessed daughter in the world. Father and Mother are so proud of you." Ji Chenhai was pleased by her words and reached out to rub Ji Fengyao's soft hair on her forehead, praising her as well.
After that.
Ji Chenhai's expression turned serious. He pointed to the bright yellow imperial edict on the corner of the stone table next to him and said, "Xiao Jiu, Yao'er, what do you plan to do with this bastard? Should we go straight to the palace and beat that clueless dog emperor up before leaving, or should we turn the capital upside down before leaving?"
"Kill them before you leave." Shang Xiye clenched his right fist lightly on his lap, his eyes flashing with a cold, murderous glint.
