After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The young lady of the Duke of Ji looked excitedly at the canned fruit brought back by the servants: "Is this the canned fruit from Yunzhou?"

The maids seemed to be very happy because they had caught up with the trend: "Yes, it's very popular all over Kyoto recently! I heard that even the Imperial Palace bought a batch of canned food to take back."

The young wife of Duke Ji ordered that half of the canned food be sent to the courtyards of the old lady and the old duke, and the remaining half be kept for herself.

"It's just some fruit. Why do you treat it so strangely? As if you have never seen the world before?" The Prince of Jiguo frowned, put his hands behind his back, and strode in.

He looked at the rough pottery jar, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could almost pinch a fly to death.

"If you don't like it, don't come."

Ever since the couple had a falling out last time, except for the first and fifteenth days of the month, when the prince would come to the young lady's room to sit for a while, the couple would not meet each other at other times.

The Prince of Jiguo sat down angrily and poured himself a cup of tea: "You still have the leisure time to buy canned fruit, and you don't even know how to urge your good son to try to pass the imperial examination."

This time, his son did not take the exam.

The young wife of Duke Ji rolled her eyes and said, "You should first let your two beloved sons pass the examination to become scholars. Did you fail again this time?"

Stumped by his wife's words, the Prince of Jiguo could only open the lid of the fruit can.

This is a can of cherry fruit. After opening it, a sour aroma of cherry hits your nose.

The Prince of Jiguo shuddered and couldn't help drooling between his lips and teeth.

"If you want to eat it, buy it yourself." The young lady of Duke Jiguo took back the jar from the prince and signaled the maid to keep it.

"You!" The prince of Jiguo, unable to save face, said sarcastically, "When did you learn to be as stingy as Gu Nanxi?"

Gu Nanxi opened such a large canning factory and remembered to take the canned goods to Kyoto for sale, but he didn't even give a share to his colleagues and the emperor. He was really stingy.

"I'll keep the money, even if I donate it to a charity, it's better than leaving it to you to support a concubine." Ever since the young lady of the Duke of Jiguo let herself go, she feels that her life has become much more refreshing.

"I told you that you will learn nothing by following Gu Nanxi!" The Prince of Jiguo glanced at his lady.

"Today is neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Why are you here? Are you just craving for this can of food? If you beg me, I'm not such a heartless person. I can still save one for you."

"Oh!" The Prince of Jiguo folded his hands in front of his chest, watching the show and said, "If you were not still carrying the title of our Jiguogong's young lady, do you think I am happy to come here?"

"What do you mean by that?" The young lady of Duke Jiguo winked and asked all the servants in the room to leave.

The Prince of Jiguo snorted coldly: "Aren't you just so arrogant because you are close to Gu Nanxi? Let me tell you, your good days are over!"

The young wife of Duke Jiguo felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Could it be that something unexpected had happened in the court? But her face remained calm.

"The general is doing well in Yunzhou, and we are living a wonderful life."

The Prince of Jiguo looked at her deeply and said, "The key is that she lives too well! She has attracted the attention of some people. She has set up factories, provided pensions to soldiers, and made use of talents from hundreds of families. Now she even takes in grassland people. What does she want to do? She is just a governor of Yunzhou!"

"Does she want to be a king with a fiefdom?!"

"She also said that when friends come, we treat them with fine wine, and when enemies come, we have shotguns. She makes friends with the grassland people, what does she think of us Central Plains people? If the court sends people to deal with her, will she also greet them with a shotgun?!"

The wife of Duke Ji clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves. She felt as if her heart was being squeezed, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"So, someone has spread rumors before the Holy Spirit?"

"What does it matter whether there are slanders or not? Gu Nanxi's favor has come to an end!" Prince Jigong felt relieved.

Ever since Gu Nanxi appeared in Kyoto, all the ladies in various mansions have stood up.

Now, seeing that Gu Nanxi was about to lose the emperor's favor, he watched coldly and wondered how these ladies would cope with the situation!

"Nonsense! This is all your guess and there is no basis at all." The young lady of Duke Ji took a sip of tea, but her eyes fell on the prince.

The prince sat carelessly on the round stool, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and he couldn't lower them: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the emperor is going to send a military supervisor to Yunzhou."

The teacup in the wife's hand almost fell to the ground.

Not sending a military supervisor to Yunzhou is seen by everyone as the emperor's trust and favor towards General Gu Nanxi!

Now, a military supervisor has been sent over. No matter who the supervisor is, it means that a rift has arisen between the monarch and his subjects.

The young lady of the Duke of Ji asked calmly, "Who is the military supervisor?"

"It's your best friend's husband, General Niu, the guardian of the country!"

The heart of the young wife of the Duke of Ji seemed to be torn in two, one half hung on the general of Yunzhou, and the other half hung on her good friend. She didn't care about bickering with the prince. She simply put on a cloak and went to the residence of the general Niu.

The weather in Kyoto was getting colder. Sitting in the carriage, even with a hot water bottle to warm her hands, the wife of Duke Ji still felt cold all over.

When the carriage finally arrived at the Niu Mansion, the wife of Duke Ji saw the servants busy in the mansion.

"Are you leaving so soon?" The young lady of Duke Ji looked at her good friend Madam Niu and choked up for a moment.

Mrs. Niu was quite open-minded about this matter. After handing over the packing task to the housekeeper, she took the young wife of Duke Jiguo back to the hall.

"I was thinking that after we've packed our luggage, I'd invite you guys to go to Fuquan Teahouse and have a good time. But I didn't expect you to come first."

The young wife of Duke Jiguo had tears in her eyes: "You should have told me earlier. I was even more sad when I heard about this from others."

Madam Niu held the hand of the young wife of Duke Jiguo and patted her, "Don't be angry. I just found out this morning. During the morning court session, His Majesty asked who to send as the military supervisor. The people of Master Tong's faction and the royalist faction almost got into a fight in the court. In the end, they pushed my neutral faction out."

"Alas, he has lived a life of mediocrity and just wanted a good end, but in the end he was pushed out. Perhaps, I was the one who implicated him. After all, he was the first one to suggest that the general go to Yunzhou."

At this time, the dejected Lord Niu walked in. After hearing these words, he glared at Mrs. Niu and said, "What do you know, woman? What does this have to do with you? Besides, if we go to Yunzhou, won't it be a good opportunity for our family to reunite? Our son is still waiting for us in Yunzhou."

The matter is settled, there is no turning back.

The young lady of the Duke of Jiguo suppressed her sadness and asked, "Can't we set out after the New Year?"

Madam Niu smiled bitterly: "The emperor is urging us to leave immediately."
