The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 22: Princess Xian’s Visit
“I’m sorry, Madam Marquis, the child is not very sensible. Ajin, come and apologize to Sister Hua’er.” The Empress winked at Bei Hengjin.
Ji Hua said proudly: “Yes, yes, yes, come and apologize to me, otherwise I will cry in front of you and let everyone think that I have suffered internal injuries, which will make you feel guilty to death.”
Bei Hengjin: “…”
After hesitating for a long time, Bei Hengjin gritted his teeth and stepped forward to apologize to Ji Hua, and also returned the jade pendant he was carrying with him.
The Crown prince knew that unless he was willing, no one could take the jade pendant from him, because on it there was the word “Jin” carved by Princess Xian herself.
After getting the jade pendant, Ji Hua’s grievances suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“I’m really sorry that Miss Ji has been wronged. Tao’er, quickly go and get the piece of Hetian jade that was sent as tribute from the Southern Region.”
Madam Ji looked embarrassed and said, “Your Majesty, the prince has already paid for the jade, so don’t spend any more money.”
The Queen smiled more gently, “That one was paid by Ajin, and this one was paid by me, so how can they be the same? If Madam Ji keeps refusing, it means she despises me.”
In this case, how could Mrs. Ji dare to say anything?
Soon, the palace servant brought an exquisite box and opened it, revealing a pure white jade bracelet inside.
[Wow, this is the top grade white jade among Hetian jades. It is warm and smooth white, and it is obviously top grade white jade. It is very expensive. The Empress is really generous.]
Ji Hua’s little eyes are sparkling.
When Mrs. Ji heard that the price was high, her heart trembled.
“Bring Miss Ji here. I want to put it on her myself.” The Empress said, and the palace maid immediately stepped forward to take Ji Hua.
The Empress at this moment was very friendly, without any of the cold, arrogant or dangerous impression that people had in mind.
When the Empress saw Ji Huan’s round face, black eyes, smooth skin, and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye that was exactly the same as the Marquis’s wife, she was immediately surprised. Especially her moving little mouth, which was particularly adorable.
“I’ve heard that Miss Ji is as beautiful as the Marquis’s wife. Now that I see her, it’s true.” The Empress took the jade bracelet from the palace maid and put it on Ji Hua’s arm.
Ji Hua raised her arm curiously and looked around, her cheeks filled with joy.
[Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!]
[Since the Empress is so generous, I will help you on the birthday banquet.]
She now has to work hard to earn points so that she can have a chance to help the Empress.
A bracelet in exchange for a life, isn’t that a good deal?!
She also knew that for the sake of the Crown prince, the Empress intended to get close to the Ji family, so how could she lose face?
The time was almost up, and the Empress whispered to herself and got to the point. “I heard that the Imperial Concubine asked Madam Ji to come to the palace today to diagnose the child A Yuan. The child has a very miserable life. If Madam Ji has a solution, I will help you no matter the cost.”
It was not difficult to hear that the Empress’s words were pleading.
Madam Ji was not stupid. She sighed and said, “It was a stroke of luck that I was able to save Miss Zhao yesterday. The Third Prince is in a very poor health. I’m sorry that I can’t do anything.”
Does that mean it can’t be cured?
After Ji Yushu helped the prince yesterday, the Empress and the Crown prince analyzed and learned that the Ji family intended to stand on the side of the Crown prince.
So she prepared to inform the Ji family about Wu Da’s incident. After thinking for a moment, the Empress lowered her voice and said, “Zhao Xue died during the interrogation. At the same time, it was also found that Wu Da was a spy placed in the Ji family by the Second prince to steal the list of Master Ji’s students.”
Although she knew in advance that Wu Da was a spy, Mrs. Ji still had to pretend to be shocked. At the same time, she secretly said: Wu Da is the Third prince’s man, and he wants to bite the Second prince to death until his death, which shows that he is a tough guy.
“The Second prince was confined to his home for a month and his salary was deducted for one year.” The purpose of stealing the list was simple: to form a clique for personal gain.
The list is not just a list, it also contains addresses and other details.
In this case, simply confinement is not justified.
The Empress’s next words confirmed Ji Hua’s guess.
“Concubine Xian’s maternal family is the richest in Shengyu, and they have a lot of money. It is the time when Jiangyu is building water conservancy projects. Concubine Xian offered to donate money to help His Majesty with his urgent needs, on the condition that she help the Second Prince to pay off his debts.”
To privately criticize the affairs of the court was a serious crime. The Empress also took a great risk.
What the Queen meant by saying this was to remind the Ji family that since there was one Wu Da, it was not difficult to guarantee that there would not be a second Wu Da.
How could Mrs. Ji not understand? As a woman in the back house, she didn’t know the decisions of her husband and sons, so she didn’t reveal too much.
After sitting for half an hour, Mrs. Ji stood up and said goodbye.
Ji Huan’s pair of round eyes fell on Bei Hengjin.
Ji Hua’s round eyes fell on Bei Hengjin.
“Stinky brat, go home and spend more time with your mother. You have a miserable life just like me. If the Qin family had successfully switched me that day, I would be living a life worse than death now.”
The Qin family? Bei Hengjin frowned tightly.
“Ajin, it’s cold outside, go back to the house.”
Bei Hengjin held the Crown prince’s hand tightly and shook his head in protest.
The Crown prince had no choice but to order the palace servants to bring a heavy cloak and put it on him. He turned around and smiled at Madam Ji and said, “Ah Jin is a bit stubborn. Since returning from the full moon banquet, he has been talking about Sister Hua’er all the time, even in his dreams.”
Ji Hua’s face was full of surprise: “Is this brat really calling me in his dreams? Why don’t I believe it?”
Bei Hengjin’s gaze followed Ji Hua all the way until they walked out of the palace gate and saw with their own eyes as the Marquis’s wife carried Ji Hua into the carriage.
That night, Madam Ji told Lord Ji what had happened during the day.
Blood jade? How could the imperial concubine be willing to give such a valuable thing to his daughter? Before, he would not pay attention to these things, but after learning that the Third prince was faking illness, he had to pay attention to all matters concerning the Third prince.
No, I have to ask Yin Zheng to check it out.
In the next few days, Lord Ji, Ji Yushu and Ji Linfeng all seemed very busy.
Ji Hua got up early in the morning, feeling that she had forgotten something important.
[No, that’s not right. There must be something important that I forgot. Oh, what is it? It feels quite important.]
[Ah, I remember now, today is the day when Princess Xian got into trouble.]
Hearing her daughter’s surprised voice, Madam Ji was suddenly startled.
Something happened to Princess Xian? What could have happened to Princess Xian?
In Shengjing, if there is anyone who can compete with Lord Ji who dotes on his wife excessively, it must be King Xian.
When King Xian married Princess Xian, he declared that he would only marry her in his life, and he did it later.
If something happens to Princess Xian, no one can predict what crazy thing King Xian will do.
At this moment, Xiuhe hurriedly came to report: “Madam, Princess Xian came to visit the young prince.”
“Eh?” Mrs. Ji was confused.
[What? Princess Xian is here? What is she doing here?]
【What? Princess Xian is here? What is she here to do? 】
I was just talking about her, and she’s here in the blink of an eye.
“Hurry up, lets go to the front hall.” Mrs. Ji quickly tidied up her appearance and also tidied up Ji Hua.
Because the weather was cold and there was occasional rain and snow, Mrs. Ji was afraid that her daughter would be cold, so she wrapped her up tightly.
Like a briquette.
Only a chubby little face was exposed.
The tiger-head hat on her head was very eye-catching.
[Oh dear mother, I am a girl, how could I possibly like tiger-head hats? Your daughter only likes rabbit-head hats.]
Mrs. Ji’s mouth twitched. Then she said to Xiuhe, “Go and get the rabbit head hat. I think this hat doesn’t suit my daughter’s temperament.”
[Yes, yes, yes, mother, you have good taste. My temperament is extremely noble, and a mere tiger-head hat certainly doesn’t match me.]
“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Xiuhe left with a smile. Not long after, she brought back a rabbit head hat.
It looks much more obedient than the tiger-head hat.
When the two arrived at the front hall, the servants had just served tea to Princess Xian.
When Ji Hua saw Bei Hengjin who was also wearing a rabbit-head hat, her eyes widened.
“No way, no way, this kid also likes the bunny head hat! Even the color of his clothes is the same.”
“By the way, what is he doing here today?”
“Today is the day when Princess Xian had an accident. Will coming to the Ji family change her fate? But the accident happened at 3 pm in the afternoon, and it’s only morning now. Can Princess Xian stay until 3 pm?”
Bei Hengjin’s eyes moved slightly, it turned out that it was the right decision to seek refuge in the Ji family.
He thought about it over and over again, but he couldn’t think of a reasonable reason to take down the two maids, so he had to ask his mother to take refuge in the Ji family under the pretext of liking his younger sister Hua’er.
It’s cool to take protection from the Ji family but it’s not a long term solution Princess Xian is still in danger because nothing could be done about those maids
