Chapter 622: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 69
The capital, the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Yunhuan half leaned on the rattan chair, the sparse light fell through the layers of tree shadows and gently hit her face. She reluctantly stretched out a hand and let the moonlight paint on her hand.
Yueying muttered, "My hands are all calloused, and my palms are bleeding. It hurts me to see it. We agreed to go there just to investigate a case, but how come there's a war all of a sudden? I'm scared to death. If anything happens to you, I won't want to live anymore!"
Ji Yunhuan ignored everything she said. Yueying was good in every way except that she was too nagging. She also took care of her too meticulously, as if she was still a three-year-old child.
"Did you listen to me? You didn't drink the tonic yesterday. Even if you are well, you can't do this. The doctor at Baicaotang said that you had several hidden injuries, but you lied to me and said nothing happened. You even poured out the medicine. Those maids couldn't keep an eye on you. Today I will personally watch you drink..."
Ji Yunhuan stood up suddenly, his expression serious, "Shh! Don't talk, someone is coming, in the southwest corner."
Yueying said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Wu is here, how could someone break in? Miss, you are just impatient to listen to my nagging. I have been sick for the past few days, and you must have been quiet."
Ji Yunhuan left Beijing in October and returned at the end of March. Yueying was worried every day. Even after seeing the letter from the young lady, she felt uneasy. When she suddenly saw Ji Yunhuan, she was so excited that she fell ill.
Sure enough, there was a sound of fighting in the southwest corner, but the secret guards did not arrest anyone. Soon, a man in black jumped down from the courtyard wall and ran towards Ji Yunhuan.
"Miss Ji, I bought you some pastries from Zui Xiang Lou on the way. I thought you would like them, so I brought them over. Come and eat them, they are still hot."
Yuwen Yi placed an exquisite bamboo basket on the stone table. The lid was printed with the Zuixianglou logo. When it was opened, the aroma filled the air.
Ji Yunhuan didn’t know where Yuwen Yi got the news from, but she did love Zui Xiang Lou’s dim sum when she was a child. Mainly because she was sick and seldom went out, she could not forget the dim sum from Zui Xiang Lou.
Ji Yunhuan's hands were covered with ointment, so Yuwen Yi took a piece and stuffed it into Ji Yunhuan's mouth, looking at Ji Yunhuan with expectation.
"Mm, very sweet." Ji Yunhuan licked the crumbs at the corner of his mouth and looked at Yuwen Yi with a smile, "Another piece."
Yuwen Yi's fingers were a little hot as he was busy on the battlefield. He also fed Ji Yunhuan some cakes, but the cakes were very big, while the pastries of Zui Xiang Lou were small and exquisite.
He just touched something soft, which should be Miss Ji's lips. This made his heart beat extra fast and many images flashed through his mind, none of which he could express in words. But Miss Ji didn't notice it at all and even smiled extraordinarily beautifully.
Yuwen Yi cursed himself in his heart. He hardly dared to look at Ji Yunhuan's lips and just pushed them towards him carelessly.
Ji Yunhuan ate the snack and bit Yuwen Yi's fingertips. Seeing Yuwen Yi's blushing, she laughed wildly in her heart but still looked innocent.
"Why didn't General Yi go through the main gate? Is there something shameful going on?"
Yuwen Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no! I just wanted to use the light function to be faster, and I climbed over the wall without paying attention. If I had come to pay a formal visit, I would have had to hand in a card and pass through the gatehouse, and the cakes would have been cold by then."
“The cakes at Zui Xiang Lou are most delicious when eaten hot.”
Yueying always felt that General Yi was weird. The young lady was the only master in the Duke's Mansion, and it was somewhat improper for General Yi to climb over the wall and come in.
However, she still admired General Yi very much, and the young lady often mentioned General Yi. Perhaps people in the military were just not particular about trivial matters.
Yueying washed the young lady's hands and served tea to General Yi. Although the guest had climbed over the wall, the etiquette of hospitality should not be lost.
Ji Yunhuan knew when to stop and did not continue to tease Yuwen Yi, so as not to scare away the thin-skinned general.
"During the morning court yesterday, someone proposed to restore your title, but the emperor still did not agree and only said to discuss it later. Then the Minister of Justice mentioned the issue of adult princes entering the court for training. The Nie family already has concubines in the palace and has five princes, so it is natural for them to raise this issue."
"The queen has no children, there are no legitimate sons in the palace, all the princes are the same, and Prince Rui is not that noble, but the emperor favors him and has always brought him by his side to teach him, and even sent him to the Ministry of Personnel. If all the adult princes entered the court to gain experience and show themselves to the public, Prince Rui would not be the only one in power in the capital."
Yuwen Yi was just not good at scheming, but he was not stupid and soon understood the trick.
"The Nie family is helping me. It must be the Queen who is mediating. You also contributed. You want me to stay in the capital."
"The eldest prince died young, the queen was injured and can no longer conceive, the second prince's mother's family was convicted, and the second prince and the third prince were both implicated. The fourth prince had an affair with a concubine in the palace and was rejected by His Majesty."
"The Fifth Prince once poisoned Prince Rui, but accidentally hurt me. The Emperor was furious. He certainly didn't feel sorry for me, but for Prince Rui who almost got hurt. The Fifth Prince has been imprisoned for many years and is timid and cowardly. I heard he has no talent, so I'm afraid he won't be able to handle his duties in the court."
"After Concubine Xiao took charge of the harem, few princes were born in the palace, and the few younger brothers are still young. The Nie family's move actually benefited me."
Ji Yunhuan nodded with a smile, "That's right. Logically speaking, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the end, the Queen will be the Queen Mother. But Concubine Xiao is getting more and more rampant, and she is acting more and more without scruples. Although the Queen is indifferent, she is not a fool. Naturally, she does not want Prince Rui to ascend the throne."
"All other princes were well-governed by Prince Rui, but you were the only one who could contend with him and oppose him at every turn, yet you were still alive and well. You have made a great contribution this time. The Empress did not say it explicitly, but she has already set her sights on you."
"Yesterday, the Queen summoned us to the palace just to let you meet Concubine Jiang. Did you see her?"
Speaking of his mother, Yuwen Yi seemed very happy. "Yes, I have. Last time His Majesty summoned me to the palace, I didn't have time to talk to my mother. After I entered the palace yesterday, a young eunuch took me to my mother's place and didn't let me out until the palace gates were locked."
"Mother is doing well, thanks to the care of Her Majesty the Queen."
Ji Yun laughed and said, "You have made great contributions. The Queen Mother is very happy and keeps praising you for your promising future. However, she doesn't want to disturb your mother-son reunion, so she gave you a lot of gifts and asked me to bring them to you."
"Yueying will take inventory and send it over..."
Ji Yunhuan was stuck. She had been back in the capital for so many days, and Yuwen Yi had been going to the Duke's Mansion every day, but she didn't know where Yuwen Yi lived.
When princes moved out of the palace and built their own residences, they were usually located around the imperial palace, in the prosperous areas of the capital, but she had never heard of where the eighth prince's residence was built.
