But before Ji Lingxuan could speak, the housekeeper from outside hurried in, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty just sent an imperial edict, announcing that you will enter the palace immediately. Yesterday, the two young masters Wang and Li died suddenly at night. Now Mr. Wang and General Li are still here."
Stay in the palace and let Your Majesty make the decision for them!"
Chu Yingyi nodded slightly, his eyes were downcast, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this time.
Both the housekeeper and Ji Lingxuan were very patient and did not speak.
After a while, Chu Yingyi raised her eyes and settled on Ji Lingxuan. Ji Lingxuan was stunned, and she was already screaming in her heart that something was wrong.
"I am in poor health and cannot move around easily. Housekeeper, please order someone to dress up the princess and let her enter the palace in my place."
At this moment, Ji Lingxuan was ready to kill Chu Yingyi.
This man is so decisive in his work. Now that the young master Wang Li is dead, His Majesty will definitely make a fuss about it. He has summoned Chu Yingyi to the palace just to hold him accountable. Now that he has gone, isn't he going to die?
If Chu Yingyi went there in person, given the current situation, the emperor would naturally not be able to punish him. At most, he would be fined some gold and silver and deprived of some fiefdoms as compensation.
But if it were her, it would be strange if the emperor didn't punish her to death.
First, he issued a decree to marry her to Chu Yingyi, and then they went around the city to get married. Now that he has entered the palace and died, the emperor only needs to tell the world that he was pushed out by Chu Yingyi to take the blame, and he will definitely beat Chu Yingyi hard.
s face.
Even though she could think of this, Ji Lingxuan didn't believe that Chu Yingyi would not think of it.
In an instant, Ji Lingxuan's favorable impression of Chu Yingyi dropped to zero, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She took a deep breath and tried to make her tone normal, but she still couldn't conceal her indifference: "Your Majesty, I am a womanly person.
The imperial edict cannot be entered into the palace. If I take the place of the prince without your majesty's permission, your majesty will blame me. This will not be good for the Prince of Chu or you, the prince!"
"I have said that you are qualified. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me!" Chu Yingyi was extremely calm, tapping the table with her long fingers evenly, and finally added: "Including the emperor!"
Ji Lingxuan couldn't help but twitch her face when she heard this, and finally understood why the emperor didn't like Chu Yingyi. As a minister, he didn't take the emperor into his heart.
Moreover, Chu Yingyi was the largest king with a different surname in the Yan Kingdom and had millions of soldiers. No emperor would like a minister who could threaten him. It is no wonder that he would humiliate Chu Yingyi even before his death.
There is no way to hide the expression, so Chu Yingyi can see it with just one glance.
He didn't bother to say anything else.
In fact, if you think about it, it is nothing more than this. Chu Yingyi's reputation is higher than that of the emperor. Based on this alone, even if Chu Yingyi compliments the emperor everywhere, the emperor must want to get rid of him quickly.
The greater the strength, the greater the danger. The king of a country will definitely eliminate those who can pose a threat to him at all costs.
"Don't even think about refusing. Entering the palace this time is not a big deal in itself. If you can't even deal with this little thing, don't worry about your choice and just bury it with me!" Chu Yingyi didn't speak to Ji Lingxuan at all.
The opportunity was cut off.
Ji Lingxuan curled her lips, saying that this was the end, and she could only accept it.
She is not a timid person. Although she doesn't like trouble, she still has half a month left, so she has to endure it!
Chu Yingyi thought differently. Although he didn't have much time left now, his real power was still there. With him as his backer, Ji Lingxuan still couldn't deal with such a trivial matter. After his death, he was afraid that he would be even less able to do it, and he didn't worry about Yan Yan.
Wangfu and Xiaomo are entrusted to such a woman.
I just took advantage of this time to test this woman.
"Okay, I understand!" Ji Lingxuan replied. Anyway, she was not the one who killed the person. When the time comes, she will blame Chu Yingyi for everything. As long as the emperor is not an unreasonable person and cares about his face, he will not embarrass her.
Weak woman.
After the housekeeper went down, he quickly returned with the four maids. Ji Lingxuan followed her back to the bedroom, and the four maids dressed her up together.
The princess's clothes were noble and beautiful, and her jewelry was exquisite, but her ugly face ruined everything.
No matter how beautiful something is, once it has a stain, people will subconsciously look at the stain!
After finishing dressing up and coming out, Chu Yingyi had already left first, but the housekeeper was still there because Chu Yingyi had something to tell her to Ji Lingxuan.
"Princess, the prince asked his servant to tell you that your entry into the palace this time... ahem... represents his face. If it damages his face, he doesn't mind sending you down to study with the old princess first!" He said this
The old housekeeper was obviously a little embarrassed as he spoke.
Although they only got along for a short time, Ji Lingxuan had already learned a lot about Chu Yingyi's character, so she didn't have high expectations and simply replied that she understood.
This made the housekeeper breathe a sigh of relief, because anyone who heard this would be furious, but Ji Lingxuan did not.
At the same time, his favorable impression of Ji Lingxuan has also increased a lot. Now the housekeeper has passed the age of judging people by their appearance. Generally speaking, he is still very satisfied with this princess.
Ji Lingxuan was not in a hurry to enter the palace. She had not eaten breakfast early in the morning and was hungry. She asked the housekeeper to go down and get some breakfast. The housekeeper didn't say anything and nodded.
After having breakfast and rearranging her clothes, Ji Lingxuan left the Chu Palace.
Outside the gate of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, the eunuch who came to see the rice paper had already been impatient for a long time. Now that the King of Chu's situation was over, he still dared to show off like this.
The most annoying thing was that King Chu didn't answer whether he was going or not. He had to wait all the time. Finally, the butler came out and said that the princess would represent him this time. He almost had a fit on the spot, but when he heard what King Chu meant, he thought again.
He was able to contain the misery of the two young masters.
After Ji Lingxuan came out, he didn't say hello and went back to the palace by himself.
Returning to the palace, he exaggerated what happened just now, saying how arrogant Chu Yingyi was and how he didn't take the emperor seriously at all.
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched. Chu Yingyi had never paid attention to him since he inherited the throne.
However, compared to Ji Lingxuan entering the palace, the emperor was more satisfied because he couldn't eat Chu Yingyi at all. It would be different if it was Ji Lingxuan.
But the eunuch had already said so, and now that the two ministers, Mr. Wang and General Li, were here, it would not look like a coward if he didn't say anything, so he coughed lightly and said:
"A woman is not allowed to enter the palace without an edict. She is contemptuous of the emperor's authority. Please pass on the edict and don't let Ji Lingxuan enter the palace easily. Yes! But since it is your first offense, don't be too embarrassed!"
He had waited for three full hours. If it was too difficult and Ji Lingxuan didn't come, who would he find to vent his anger on?
"My slave obeys the order!" The prisoner bowed and retreated, and went to the palace gate in person. He wanted to get back the anger he had suffered at the Chu Prince's Mansion just now on the people in the Chu Prince's Mansion.
However, it is obvious that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Ji Lingxuan's carriage had already arrived at the palace gate, but the guards told her that women were not allowed to enter the palace without orders, or that they had to kneel here for an hour before going in to report.
