After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

"Weiwei, isn't this the first time you and the princess have met today? Why do I feel like you two seem to have a very good relationship?"

Ji Weiwei knew that Xiao Jingyi was a suspicious person and had already prepared some words to respond.

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. This is not the first time that I have met my sister. I have met her many times at palace banquets before. But we were not very close before, because my sister always talked to Sister Lin alone. I saw that they were so close, so I didn't want to disturb them. So we were just acquaintances before. But today, the princess sister cared so much about me, which reminded me of my sister who married far away. I couldn't help but feel good about her and felt that the princess sister was very kind."

Ji Weiwei said this with a slightly sad look on her face.

"Sister is so gentle and considerate to me. If sister were still by my side, she would treat me as well as sister Princess. Seeing such a sister Princess, it is hard for me not to be close to her."

Xiao Jingyi knew about this. Ji Weiwei had an older sister named Ji Ruirui. The two sisters had been inseparable since childhood and had a very good relationship.

Their mother, Xia Yushuang, was from Jizhou. Her family was in the silk business and was quite prestigious in the local area.

When Xia Yushuang reached marriageable age, her parents wanted to find a good marriage for her, so they sent their daughter to live with distant relatives in the capital and asked them for help.

And this distant relative was none other than the Imperial Censor, Lord Xue. Although the two families were only related through their ancestors, they seldom interacted with each other on a daily basis.

But the ancestors of the Xia family saved the lives of the ancestors of the Xue family. The Xue family has always been grateful, so they have always remembered this kindness.

When it came to Lord Xue's generation, he saw that he finally had the opportunity to repay the favor, so he readily agreed.

Since the Xue family has agreed to this matter, they will seriously plan for Xia Yushuang.

After much inquiry and observation, Ji Mingchao, the legitimate son of Ji Lei, the Minister of Works, was finally chosen.

The position of the Grand Censor is slightly higher than that of the Minister of Works, so the Ji family would naturally like to establish this relationship.

Although Xia Yushuang is only a distant relative of the Xue family, seeing how devoted the Xue family is to her marriage, it is likely that the relationship between the two families is not bad.

The Xia family has a high prestige in Jizhou and is considered a large family, so there is nothing wrong with that.

In addition, Ji Mingchao liked Xia Yushuang very much after meeting her, so the marriage was settled and Xia Yushuang married in the capital.

Three years ago, Xia Yushuang's father celebrated his 60th birthday, and she took her two sisters back to Jizhou to celebrate her father's birthday.

At her grandfather's birthday party, Ji Ruirui met Luo Shicheng, the prefect of Jizhou. The two fell in love at first sight and developed feelings for each other.

During the time when Ji Ruirui was in Jizhou, the two of them always found ways to meet each other, and they became more and more in love with each other.

After the two confirmed their feelings to each other, Luo Shicheng went to Xia's house to propose marriage.

As the prefect of Jizhou, Luo Shicheng was a good official who did practical things for the people and was quite loved by the people of Jizhou.

Luo Shicheng usually has a good relationship with the Xia family, so the Xia family naturally had no complaints about this matter.

But the problem is that Luo Shicheng is only a fourth-rank prefect, and I don’t know whether a big family like the Ji family can look down on him.

Moreover, Ji Ruirui has been pampered in the Minister of Works' mansion since she was a child. Would the Ji family be willing to marry her to such a faraway place?

Xia Yushuang was also satisfied with Luo Shicheng, but she was reluctant to let her daughter marry so far away from her, and she was very hesitant.

Besides, she had no say in the matter, so she had to write a letter and have it sent back to the capital as quickly as possible to ask her husband and father-in-law for their opinions.

Ji Mingchao was very excited after receiving the letter from his wife. He really couldn't understand why his precious daughter would stay in Jizhou and get married after just a trip to Jizhou, and the man she was going to marry was a small prefect.

In theory, the prefect is at least a fourth-rank official, which is not a low position.

But Luo Shicheng's parents were just ordinary people, which was naturally a world of difference compared to the Ji family, which had considerable power in the capital.

Ji Mingchao knew his eldest daughter best. She was a gentle and kind person. If she met beggars when she went out, she would lend a helping hand without hesitation. Ji Mingchao was very worried that his daughter, who was not very worldly-wise, would be deceived.

After discussing with his father Ji Lei, he felt that he should meet Luo Shicheng first before making a decision.

However, both father and son held official positions and could not leave Beijing at will.

As the governor of Jizhou, Luo Shicheng had to protect the people and was not allowed to go to the capital without being summoned.

They couldn't go, and Luo Shicheng couldn't come either, which put the father and son in a difficult position.

Later, Ji Lei mustered up the courage to report the matter to Xiao Chenyu. He originally wanted to let his son take a leave to go to Jizhou, but he did not expect that after hearing about this, Xiao Chenyu directly issued an order to let Luo Shicheng go to Beijing.

Ji Lei has always been one of Xiao Chenyu's trusted old ministers. Since it is related to the marriage of his eldest granddaughter, Xiao Chenyu naturally attaches great importance to it.

He himself has five daughters, so he can naturally understand the feelings of his family at this time.

Xiao Chenyu expressed his understanding. He not only comforted the Ji family father and son, but also reminded them that this was Ji Ruirui's lifelong event, and asked them to keep their eyes open and test it carefully.

If she were to marry in the capital, even if she were to be wronged in the future, the Ji family would be able to support her.

But if she really married far away in Jizhou, the distance would be so far, and even if something happened to her, the Ji family would not be able to help.

The Ji family father and son were very moved when they heard this. They didn't expect that the emperor would think so much about them, so they quickly agreed to all the requests.

Luo Shicheng followed the emperor's order and went to the capital with Xia Yushuang and her daughter to meet the father and son of the Ji family.

After numerous tests by the Ji family father and son, they discovered that Luo Shicheng was indeed excellent in all aspects.

He also sent people to Jizhou to investigate. Although Luo Shicheng had only been the governor of Jizhou for a short time, he was indeed a good official who worked hard for the people and had great prestige in Jizhou.

The only drawback is that his family is not very wealthy, but this also proves that he is not a corrupt official.

The father and son of the Ji family did not care much about this. They would naturally not treat Ji Ruirui unfairly in terms of money. The Ji family would just give a little more.

Besides, the Xia family has a big business in Jizhou and can provide a lot of help. They will not let their granddaughter suffer any loss in this regard.

Although everyone was extremely reluctant to see Ji Ruirui marrying far away, the Ji family did not want to break up the couple and finally gave in.

After hearing about this, Xiao Chenyu was happy for the Ji family and personally summoned Luo Shicheng.

Xiao Chenyu also tested Luo Shicheng and found that he was not only knowledgeable but also respectful and humble. He was indeed a talented person who could be used.

But Luo Shicheng had not been the prefect of Jizhou for long after all. Even if Xiao Chenyu wanted to use him, he had to let him make some achievements before promoting him.
