Mr. Ji, who had long since given up on career career, has been very satisfied with being his secretary.
He knew that he did not have the talent to join the officialdom, and felt that this was probably the peak of his life.
He never expected that one day he would actually become the queen's uncle!
And the queen still lives in her own home, just like her parents’ home!
He rubbed his hands excitedly: "Oh, what can I do? The things prepared before are far from the Queen's specifications. Xiaoqi is really dragging and dragging, and the wedding has been postponed until now. What can I do?
Do it? Madam, madam!"
Mrs. Ji calmly brought the freshly steamed buns from the kitchen and said, "What is it called? Eat well when you eat!"
Mr. Ji grabbed her excitedly: "Did you hear that? Xiao Qi's dowry has to be reorganized. Now it's not up to the queen's standards..." He kept chattering for a while, but found that no one else responded at all.
Ji Ling continued to drink porridge, while Mrs. Dong calmly fed her youngest son. Even Zhuer raised her head and said, "Grandpa, your saliva has sprayed into the porridge!"
Whose child is in need of a spanking?
Mrs. Ji withdrew her hand, picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "I know, eat your food!"
Mr. Ji was puzzled. He took off the steamed buns and was surprised: "Why don't you all react? Such a big event..."
Before Mrs. Ji could answer, a man walked in from outside, yawning, walking listlessly, shaking one step at a time, and shouting: "Mom, where are the pancakes I want to eat?"
Seeing the person clearly, Mr. Ji became even more puzzled: "When did Xiao Wu come back?"
"Last night!" Mrs. Ji said, "So we already know."
"Know what?"
Ji Ling finished the porridge and answered his father's question: "The King of Yue entered the palace last night. Zhang Tan and his people stopped him, and Xiao Wu went to help. He came back in the middle of the night with blood on his body, and we knew it."
"Then why didn't I know?"
Mrs. Ji put the pancake in front of Ji Xiaowu and replied with disgust: "Didn't I call you last night? She said there was some movement outside and heard Xiao Wu's voice. You ignored her and turned over and fell asleep again."
"..."
Is it all his own fault?
Ji Ling smiled and said: "Dad, you don't have to worry about this. The Emperor's wedding will be taken over by the Ministry of Etiquette, so we can just wait."
Then he asked Ji Xiaowu: "My cousin is going to be the queen, aren't you happy?"
Ji Xiaowu ate the pancakes so quickly that he choked and rolled his eyes several times. He finally regained his composure and said angrily: "Brother, can you stop being so subtle in your words?"
"Oh, you heard it, it's not easy!"
"Am I that stupid?" Ji Xiaowu asked angrily.
"I think you're quite stupid." Ji Ling looked at him sympathetically, "But it's better to stay stupid."
Lest you realize it and regret breaking off the engagement in the first place.
"Bah, bah, bah! I won't talk to you anymore." Ji Xiaowu finished eating a pancake in twos and twos, took a few mouthfuls of soy milk, and wiped his mouth carelessly, "I'm going to go back and take a nap. I was exhausted last night."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Mrs. Ji said to Mr. Ji as if she was shooing away flies, "Eat quickly, it's too late and you won't have time to eat."
Mr. Ji wanted to show off his authority. I am now the queen's uncle, so what can I do? Ji Ling quickly packed up his things and said, "Dad, I'm leaving first. The old and the new are replaced, and there must be a lot of them."
If you can seize the opportunity, maybe you can get promoted." He also told his wife and children, "If you come back late in the evening, or don't come back, don't worry. Pearl, be obedient and don't act nonsense. Our family needs to keep a low profile now.
"
Then left.
Mr. Ji: "..."
His son was so motivated that he felt embarrassed, so he quickly packed up and went to the Imperial College.
The succession to the throne brings a lot of things! The Imperial College also has to deal with them.
…
The Ji family went to work as usual and were extremely calm.
Others are not like this.
The Bolinghou Mansion had already withdrawn from the center of power and did not learn the news until dawn.
Marquis Boling couldn't hold his chopsticks for a moment and dropped them on the table.
"What? What did you just say? Who is succeeding? Who is the new king?" he asked repeatedly.
"Returning to the Marquis, it's His Royal Highness the King of Yue." The steward replied.
Marquis Boling began to breathe rapidly. The Crown Prince Yang Xuan saw something was wrong and quickly went up and patted him twice: "Father! Hold still!"
After a while, Marquis Boling finally came over and turned pale: "What can we do now? We took so much of his property back then... Oops, is it too late to enter the palace now? The third child... No, His Highness the King of Yue will
Forgive us, right?"
The second son, Yang Jun, still looked nonchalant: "Seeing that he is going to be the emperor, is it too late to pray for him now? Dad, please just worry about it! Could it be that he can still confiscate our house?"
Marquis Boling slapped him on the head and cursed: "You are so heartless! What good will it do you if our family collapses?"
The Crown Prince Yang Xuan hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry! His Royal Highness the King of Yue has always respected his grandparents and his grandfather. Even for their sake, he would not do anything to us."
"That's right." Yang Jun agreed.
Marquis Boling finally felt relieved.
That's right, that's what happened. I was really too hasty just now.
"Besides, the emperor dies and we have to go to the palace. Father, instead of worrying at home, why don't we go to the palace to find out the news?"
"Yes, yes! Pack up quickly and go into the palace!"
On Mrs. Bolinghou's side, the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Lu, was almost frightened.
After being sent back to change clothes, it took her a while to wake up and grabbed the hand of her confidant maid: "That boy is actually going to be the emperor, will he..."
"Young madam, please stop it!" She opened her mouth, but the maid was so frightened that she hurriedly interrupted, "You haven't learned enough lessons yet? If this word spreads, will you die?"
Mrs. Lu's face turned pale, she slapped herself in the face, and said with a sad face: "My bad mouth means that it's too fast!"
As early as two years ago, she sowed discord in the palace and wanted to harm Mingwei. She had Concubine Pei expelled from the palace on the spot, and her status in the family plummeted.
When she came back, she was forced to kneel down in the ancestral hall and was scolded by her husband. After that, she was left out in the cold. The prince Yang Xuan would rather stay in his concubine's room than enter her door.
And she was a person who was humiliated in public. Everyone in the capital's ladies circle was laughing at her, and she couldn't even leave the house.
Even her parents blamed her for offending the imperial concubine and had no intention of helping her.
In the past two years, she has been living a low life at home, and her life has been really difficult.
As the time went on, everyone gradually forgot about what happened before. Who would have thought that that kid was going to become the emperor.
Lu suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue had hit her forehead.
If she had known today, she would never go against the third child!
But how did you think of it at the beginning? I thought that he was the emperor's illegitimate son and would never recognize his ancestor and return to the clan in his life. But he guessed his identity wrongly and he turned out to be the queen of the crown prince.
Forget it, the emperor has several sons, who would have guessed that he would rise to power? (To be continued)
