Ying Wuji spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to fish here. Tomorrow I'll have someone bring some sand and mud, and buy some fish fry. You can catch whatever fish you want then! If you want to catch a big one, I'll get you some crocodile fry."
Zhao Ji shook his head: "You kid!"
Ying Wuji glanced at Zhao Ji and saw that he was wearing ordinary casual clothes, the kind with comfortable fabric but ordinary style.
Although her hair was combed meticulously, it was grayer than usual.
There is no trace of the high and mighty image of the kings of the past.
He looks like an ordinary old nobleman.
Somewhat noble.
Quite kind.
Accept old age.
It seems there is nothing else.
He couldn't help but secretly complain, and was thinking that his father-in-law would send an incarnation to sympathize with the people, but in the end he just stayed at home fishing.
Zhao Ji smiled and asked, "How is it going?"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "That's great! Those people from Gan Country wanted to eat my flesh, but I beat them away. The things I got back are enough to give birth to a few more babies."
Zhao Ji didn't ask any more questions, but just praised: "Not bad! It's good that you know the Gu family."
Ying Wuji chuckled and prepared to talk about another matter: "By the way, father! And..."
"Your father is in Jiangcheng!"
Zhao Ji corrected him with a smile: "There is no father in Xinli, so you have to call him dad here!"
Ying Wuji grinned, moved the small stool next to him and sat down: "Okay, Dad! When I came back just now, I passed by the Bai family courtyard and talked to the eldest elder of our Bai family..."
Then, he repeated the conversation exactly as it had happened.
Zhao Ji tapped the back of the chair slowly with his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "The Bai family are all practical people, but there is an old lamp that is not very fuel-efficient. What exactly is the so-called art of training people?"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "I read it before I came here. It's basically a hypnotic control technique. The person being cast can use the caster's understanding of the human body to develop their entire potential to the extreme. Of course, the side effect is that the subconscious mind completely trusts the caster. This secret method can only be used by the strong people of the Tianren Clan who have reached the realm of enlightenment. It is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive."
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji rubbed it out of boredom, but did not explore the contents inside. Instead, he looked at Ying Wuji: "Can you solve this problem?"
"It can be solved naturally!"
Ying Wuji said firmly: "Although this secret method..."
Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "It's fine as long as it can be solved. It's just a small matter, you can handle it yourself. You are not a little kid going to school, you don't have to come back and bother me every day! I miss your father. I have worked diligently for the country of Li for decades. It's time for me to take a break."
Having said that, he threw the jade slip back.
Ying Wuji pursed his lips and put the jade slip back into his arms.
Zhao Ji then instructed: "But you must handle this matter well. If you handle it well, it will be a great thing for both the Li Kingdom and the Bai Family."
"Why!"
Ying Wuji nodded.
This is indeed the case.
He also understood Zhao Ji's request to him, which was to keep the Bai family in his own hands as much as possible.
As long as he can do this, no matter whether the Bai family is in the Li Kingdom or not, no matter whether the Bai family members are subjectively loyal to or disgusted with the Li royal family, they will essentially be allies of the united front.
All that.
All of this comes from the father-in-law's complete trust in his son-in-law.
It's that simple and doesn't require any additional explanation.
"I'm tired! I'm going to get some sleep!"
Zhao Ji stood up, stretched, and walked out of the palace, saying as he walked, "I won't stay in the palace at night."
Ying Wuji: “…”
Is this a hint that he wants to have a grandchild?
Zhao Ji didn't say much. Just like an ordinary old man, he put his hands behind his back and prepared to leave.
As he was about to step out of the house, he added, "Oh, right! Wu Dan has come to you several times these days. You know where he lives. Just slash through space to get there. Don't let anyone find you."
"Hey! All right!"
Ying Wuji nodded repeatedly.
My father-in-law specifically mentioned this secret passage. I guess someone has already contacted Wu Dan secretly. Otherwise, with Wu Dan's current status in Li State, he could go to the Prince Consort's Mansion at any time.
These people move really fast!
After watching his father-in-law leave, Ying Wuji went into the study and took a look around.
As expected, Zhao Ning was reviewing memorials.
Ying Wuji ran behind her with a smile and gently massaged her shoulders: "Your Highness, are you tired of reviewing the memorials? Let me give you a massage!"
Zhao Ning turned his neck with great enjoyment, then turned to look at Ying Wuji: "Wuji, what did you talk about with father just now?"
"Nothing much, just greeting each other!"
Ying Wuji smiled and recounted what had just happened.
Hearing that Zhao Ji trusted him so much, Zhao Ning felt much more relaxed physically and mentally. He just leaned back in the chair and let him massage him.
But as I was pressing, something started to go wrong with the massaged area.
She smiled helplessly: "Don't make a fuss! After Luo Xiang returned to Beijing, a lot of government affairs have been piled up here. I have to approve them quickly and can't delay for too long."
Ying Wuji continued to probe downwards: "Nonsense! Can't you spare an hour?"
Zhao Ning thought about it and said with a smile: "It will take at most a quarter of an hour!"
"A quarter of an hour... isn't that insulting?"
Ying Wuji's face turned bitter. In order to prevent himself from getting deeper and deeper into trouble, he quickly pulled himself out.
He ran over, picked up the fruit basket, and started peeling oranges for his wife.
Zhao Ning couldn't help but laugh: "Does it take the presence of the prince consort to peel an orange?"
