"Why, can Prime Minister Ji forget what he just said a few days ago?" Sheng Shaoqing chuckled and teased Ji Wenxuan.
Ji Wenxuan's frosty expression finally showed signs of loosening. He was a little embarrassed when Sheng Shaoqing stabbed him back, so he could only grin and said nothing more.
Princess Linyang had never seen Ji Wenxuan suffer such a loss before, and she couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it was Lin Yang who lost his temper." Princess Lin Yang apologized, but the smile still hung on the corner of her mouth.
The fact that Ji Wenxuan was choked and speechless by the Queen Mother was enough to make her laugh for a whole year.
"Ahem, cough, cough." Princess Lin Yang cleared her throat and continued, "Lin Yang had already met Bao Chuan before entering the palace. When asked about her future plans, she had expressed her willingness to stay in the princess palace. It just so happened that I
The palace lacks a female official in charge, so why not let Bao Chuan fill this gap? I see that she is steady and experienced in handling affairs, so wouldn't she be a good match for both in my palace?"
"How can this happen!"
Ji Wenxuan's complexion suddenly turned bad. He could go anywhere, but he was not allowed to stay in the princess's mansion! How unbecoming was he to run to someone else's housekeeper instead of caring about his own home?!
"Why can't it be done?" Princess Lin Yang retorted, "All the female officials in this palace have high grades, and they still have a lot of salary every year. Isn't it better than going back home?"
Ji Wenxuan said coldly, "It just won't work!"
He had heard about the demons and ghosts in Princess Linyang's mansion for a long time. If Bao Chuai really went to the princess's mansion to live permanently, wouldn't he just come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth again? How good would it be to learn bad things from the princess!
Princess Linyang laughed angrily at Ji Wenxuan's words and asked, "Then Prime Minister Ji asked Baochuan to go home. What other options does she have besides getting married a second time and becoming a nun?"
"This..." Ji Wenxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't bother Princess!"
"Prime Minister Ji, what do you mean? Since Baochuan doesn't want to return to Ji's Mansion, why do you have to force her?!"
"If she doesn't return to Ji Mansion, where else will she go?!"
Seeing the two people arguing with red faces, Sheng Shaoqing became more and more confused as he listened.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"You guys! Stop arguing!"
"Prime Minister Ji, since Baochuan is unwilling to go back, what if we let her stay in the princess mansion? If you want to see her, you can always visit her!"
Ji Wenxuan was so angry that he said what he really thought in his heart, "No way! No way! If you don't go back to Ji's Mansion, then you can't go to Princess Mansion!"
Princess Linyang was even more annoyed when she heard this and sneered, "Why, when did my palace become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?! Prime Minister Ji, please tell me why Baochuan can't stay in my princess's palace?!"
Ji Wenxuan knew he had made a mistake and hesitated, "Baochuan... Baochuan has lived in the countryside for many years. I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to get used to the life in the princess's mansion, let alone being a female official in the princess's mansion. I am worried that she is not capable enough."
…so……"
Before Ji Wenxuan finished speaking, Princess Lin Yang snorted coldly and said, "I don't know who gave Baochai such a treasure!"
"What's more, I see that she manages the palace well and can help me clean up the accounts. I'm afraid Prime Minister Ji is biased when he says that she is not capable enough!"
Ji Wenxuan saw Princess Lin Yang mentioning the sad things that happened many years ago again. The grudges and grudges had been entangled for so many years. The sins he had done back then had all come back to his daughter. It was really...
Fortune plays tricks on people!
Seeing that something was wrong, Sheng Shaoqing tried to calm down the incident and quickly interjected, "How about this? How about you each take a step back and let Bao Chuan enter the palace?"
Princess Lin Yang turned back in surprise, and Ji Wenxuan also looked up in shock after hearing this.
Seeing that they all looked at him with surprised expressions, Sheng Shaoqing explained, "Bao Chuan doesn't want to go back to Ji's Mansion, and Prime Minister Ji doesn't want Bao Chuan to stay in the Princess' Mansion. So, besides you two, what else can I do?
You can come to the Ai family’s palace!”
“Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
Ji Wenxuan wanted to refuse, but Sheng Shaoqing pretended to be angry and said, "Prime Minister Ji, you can't trust the Ai family?! Then the Ai family should order Baochai to stay at the princess's residence."
Ji Wenxuan sighed, compared to the Princess's Mansion, the Queen Mother's side was really a peaceful place.
"Then... I will obey the holy will."
After saying that, Ji Wenxuan bowed and left. After leaving the palace, he quickly asked the coachman to drive to the princess mansion.
Now Princess Lin Yang is the only one left in the palace. Lao Gao said reluctantly with a pout, "Sister-in-law! You clearly know that Lin Yang wants to keep Baochai... not just because of the previous plan..."
Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, "Don't you think I can't tell? If you are just trying to win over Ji Wenxuan, why do you have to fight with Ji Wenxuan for her?"
"Then you still..."
"Besides, Lin Yang heard what Prime Minister Ji said, and he really looks down on my princess's house!"
What do you mean, even if you don’t return to the Ji Mansion, you can’t stay in the Princess Mansion?!
Doesn’t she just have a backyard of noodles?!
As for what?!
Even if Prime Minister Ji doesn't take concubines himself, why in this world does a man only have three wives and four concubines, but she can't have three husbands and four kings?!
Why should you point fingers at her just because of this? She is willing to do so. Both parties get what they need. Does it have to be someone else’s turn to comment?!
In the past, she would just smile and pretend that she didn't care when others said something unpleasant to her. However, Ji Wenxuan's words made it clear that she was disdainful, and she was still a little bit angry. If he could have come forward to protect the consort from being demoted to the border, the consort would have been
If the consort is not attacked, the consort will not die. If the consort does not die, she will not be widowed. If she is not widowed, she will not be lonely. If she is not lonely, she will not seek honor!
It's that simple.
Sheng Shaoqing quickly smoothed things over and said, "Prime Minister Ji didn't mean that. I was also worried that you two would quarrel. Besides, it would be best for everyone to take a step back. Baochai came into the palace and could help the Ai family, so it wouldn't be considered wronging her."
"
Princess Lin Yang thought about it, and the errands in the palace were more honorable than the errands in the princess's palace, so she nodded and reluctantly agreed to Sheng Shaoqing's proposal, "Then... I will talk to Bao Chuan later."
Princess Lin Yang reluctantly left the palace and returned to the mansion tiredly. She saw a carriage parked at the door, and it seemed to have the emblem of the Ji family on the carriage?!
Princess Lin Yang thought it was over. She shouldn't have told the guards at Jianji Mansion a few days ago not to stop her. She rushed back to the courtyard where Ji Baochuan lived. As soon as she settled down, she heard someone quarreling in a low voice inside the house.
"Father! Baochuan doesn't want to go back! Baochuan has no intention of remarrying, and has no intention of always accompanying the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. He might as well help the princess with the affairs of the house..."
"Then when you return to Ji Mansion, there will be a lot of general affairs waiting for you to deal with! You can tidy up in a while and follow me back to the manor in the evening!"
Princess Lin Yang pushed open the door and said, "Prime Minister Ji wants to take someone out of my princess' mansion, so he has to ask the master for my opinion, right?"
"Princess!"
Princess Lin Yang gave Ji Baochuan a reassuring look and continued to confront Ji Wenxuan.
Ji Wenxuan bowed and said in salute, "I was rude just now, but I must take Baochai back home today. Please forgive me, princess."
Princess Lin Yang was also speechless for a while. This old man usually seemed to have the best temper, but when he got stubborn, even ten cows couldn't pull him back.
At that time, Aunt Hengyang didn't know why she fell in love with this stupid young man, and caused a lot of troubles because of it.
Princess Linyang was neither angry nor anxious, she just raised the handwriting in her hand and preached to Ji Wen, "It's a small matter that Prime Minister Ji doesn't give me face, but you must obey the Queen Mother's handwriting."
When Princess Linyang saw Ji Wenxuan's livid expression, she felt relieved. This was the first time she had seen results since she had acted carefully. Let's just say, she just saw that Prime Minister Ji didn't look like he was giving up!
No matter how unhappy Ji Wenxuan was, he could only kneel down slowly to receive the order.
Princess Lin Yang glanced at Ji Baochuan, whose face was full of astonishment, and signaled her to accept the order quickly. Only then did Ji Baochuan wake up from the shock.
"The Empress Dowager issued a decree, saying that the Ji family has a distinguished family with a distinguished family and a noble family. I have heard for a long time that Baochai is diligent, obedient, yonghe is pure, and has a gentle nature. She is specially summoned to the palace and given the position of Chief Accountant. I hope Erke will fulfill his responsibilities. Try to eat more!”
"This is the first time in several years that the palace has selected officials from outside the palace. If Baochai succeeds like this, he will not be considered a letdown."
"The... Queen Mother?" Ji Baochuan murmured, but Princess Linyang smiled and said, "Why, are you so happy that you are stupid? Although the female officials in the palace and I, the female officials in the princess's house, are both female officials, but in the end the status is different. You are a step above the rest of my family, and I and the Queen Mother personally selected the position of Accountant. You are already good at this, and you will be able to use your talents after entering the palace."
Seeing Princess Lin Yang's confident look, Ji Wenxuan understood that he had made a mistake this time and was irreversible.
"you……"
After hesitating for a while, Ji Wenxuan asked the doubts that had been accumulated in his heart for many years, "Why on earth are you unwilling to go back with me? You clearly... If you had listened to me and broken up with Shen Gui, as a father, I would have found someone else for you." It's a good marriage, even if Princess Hengyang cares about it, you... won't end up like this!"
Ji Baochuan asked his father, "Father, where is my daughter now?"
Ji Wenxuan didn't expect that his daughter would ask back. He was stunned for a moment before saying sadly, "At least, I'm not alone and have nothing like now!"
This daughter has been the biggest headache for him since she was a child. She got into such a disaster before she was even a hairpin. He was worried about her, but in exchange for her saying, "Marry as long as you want, no matter what the beggar, no matter what the aristocratic family, no matter who he is, he can't do it." Can't stop me!"
Later, he broke off the relationship with him, turned around and really got married. When Shen Gui disappeared, he had not thought about bringing Baochai back and helping her find another marriage. However, Baochai refused every time and said What, "Her husband wants to see his wife in life and his body in death, otherwise he will never remarry."
In a fit of anger, he simply ignored her and let her go.
Now that she and Shen Gui have reconciled, she should calm down. Even if she doesn't get married, no one will be disrespectful to her when she returns to the Ji Mansion!
He just couldn't understand why Baochuan refused to go back! This stubborn temper really followed him!
"Father, my daughter does not realize that being alone is a hardship, but she does not have nothing. Over the years, her daughter has accumulated a lot of property in the imperial village. Although her daughter understands that her father secretly helped her in many things, she is not useless. Waiting for your relief!"
Ji Wenxuan was puzzled, "So what?"
"Back then, my daughter didn't know that Shen Gui had defected from Beiliang, and she only waited for him to return home. But now, my daughter has severed all ties with him, so there is no need to go back to Huangzhuang."
"and you…"
Ji Baochuan didn't wait for Ji Wenxuan to ask, and continued, "Father, please listen to your daughter. She understands her father's hard work, but she has already severed ties with her father. If she regrets it now, wouldn't it put her father in a dilemma?"
"As a father...as a father, I don't care!"
"But a daughter can't ignore her father! A father is so worried about his daughter, and a daughter can't ignore her father's official reputation. What's more, the daughter doesn't want to live the same life anymore..."
"Baochuan..."
After a long time, Ji Wenxuan sighed and said with a wry smile, "I knew you were such a temperamental person, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn... That's all, this temperament just followed my father..."
"Princess, since this matter is a foregone conclusion, can you allow me to chat with Baochai for a few words alone? After that, I will go back home without stopping you."
When Princess Lin Yang saw this, she waved her hand and said, "Prime Minister Ji, please do as you please."
"In a few days, I will personally send Baochai into the palace. Prime Minister, there is no need to worry."
Ji Wenxuan cupped his hand, thanked her, and Princess Linyang turned around and left.
After a whole day of commotion, Cui Yun saw that Sheng Shaoqing was in a bad mood and looked very tired as soon as he returned to Yongguang Palace, and he felt distressed and said, "I think the Queen Mother's face is not very good. It's better to send the imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse." It’s so reassuring.”
Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, "Nothing, I'm just tired."
"Then Weichen asks Aning to give the Queen Mother a try?"
"How can she do this?!"
Cui Yun smiled and said, "Being able to serve the Queen Mother, it is natural that everyone has secret skills."
"However, Mrs. Ji... as soon as Miss Ji entered the palace, she took on the position of Accountant. Wouldn't it be a bit..."
Seeing Cui Yun's worried expression, Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Although Princess Linyang's style of doing things may seem out of tune, she is better at being both coarse and fine. Since she said that Baochai is competent, she naturally has her own merits." .”
Cui Yun nodded silently and asked again,
"Are we just going to let the Privy Councilor go missing in Beiliang City? Otherwise, we should try to send people to secretly search for the Privy Councilor?"
At least send some people to confirm his safety.
"No need."
Sheng Shaoqing already knows where Shen Gui is hiding, otherwise, what is the use of this system?
This guy is also a thief. He was hiding in the Haojia Alley in the back street of the Princess Mansion. When the Princess Mansion sent people to look for him, they thought he would run away, but they didn't expect that he was hiding right under his nose. .
The area around the Princess Mansion was heavily guarded, and Haojia Lane was even more tightly sealed. That day, he walked out of the gate of the Princess Mansion, walked around a few times, and got into a small courtyard through a dog hole. On the surface, the courtyard looked like a small courtyard. The grain business was secretly Helian's contact point in Beiliang, and this point was probably not known to the leader of Helian State, but was specially prepared by Shen Gui for himself.
Sheng Shaoqing sneered, "When he comes out, I'll give him the den of thieves!"
Cui Yun didn't hear Qing Sheng Shaoqing's whisper and only heard the word "duan". After thinking for a long time, she resisted the urge to ask and turned around to call Aning in to massage the Queen Mother.
