Chapter 25 Giving in, being led by the nose by Ji Yunkai
Ji Yunkai looked like he didn't care. Master Ji was so angry that he kicked her towards the wicker chair where she was lying: "You are such an evildoer. You have caused great troubles and still don't know how to repent. You really don't care about me."
I dare not beat you to death!"
"Sooner or later, I will die. If father wants to beat me to death, please do so." Ji Yunkai reacted very quickly and jumped up first to prevent Emperor Ji from kicking her off the chair with too much force.
With a "bang", Master Ji kicked the wicker chair away, which showed how much strength he had used.
However, he didn't get any benefits. Looking at the flash of pain on his face and the constant twitching of his right leg, it was clear that he was in pain too.
However, as a proud father, Master Ji would not let Ji Yunkai know. No matter how much pain he felt in his right leg, he would not show it on his face.
"Everyone knows that you hugged Prince Duan on the street yesterday. Even if I beat you to death, the Yanbei Palace won't say a word." Master Ji's foot hurt, but he couldn't help it.
If he dared to move, he could only stand there and stare at Ji Yunkai.
"So this is what happened, what should I take?" Ji Yunkai had expected it and was not surprised at all.
"You, you, do you still have any sense of shame?" The calmer Ji Yunkai was, the angrier Emperor Ji became.
Ji Yunkai said calmly: "It was just a hug, why don't I feel ashamed anymore? Did King Yanbei say that he was unhappy, or did he say that tomorrow's wedding was cancelled?"
The entire Ji Mansion was quiet, without any joy at all, and there was no sign of marrying off her daughter. If it weren't for the fact that the engagement date set by the imperial edict was tomorrow, she would have suspected that tomorrow was not her wedding day.
"The King of Yanbei hasn't woken up yet, how can we cancel the marriage?" Emperor Ji was glad that the King of Yanbei was unconscious at this time. Otherwise, because of what Ji Yun had started, even if the emperor granted the marriage, the King of Yanbei would still be able to do so.
This is the reason for canceling the marriage.
Ji Yunkai still said calmly: "Since the marriage is as usual, why are you unhappy, father? Anyway, I will get married tomorrow, and I have nothing to do with the Ji family." She knew that the Yanbei Palace would not easily cancel the engagement.
The people behind the rumors may have made the wrong calculation.
"You are throwing away members of my Ji family. Others will say that our Ji family has not raised their daughter well!" Master Ji was so angry that his fingers trembled.
Every time he talks to this evil girl, he never gets the upper hand. This evil girl never gives in. She can't say anything he says more than ten.
Ji Yunkai smiled half-heartedly and said, "Don't worry, as long as Ji Lan gets the favor, others will envy his father." He envied the Ji family who sold their daughters to seek glory and relied on their daughters to gain power.
"Your sister is indeed good. Fortunately, I didn't learn from you, otherwise I would have lost twenty years of my life." When Ji Lan was mentioned, Master Ji couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Ji Yunkai curled his lips indifferently, and while Master Ji was here, he asked: "Father, I am getting married tomorrow, where is my dowry?"
"Your dowry list has been drawn up. I thought you were going to marry the emperor, and the dowry was very generous. Now that you are marrying into the Yanbei Palace, the dowry is only 10% of the original price. The Yanbei Palace has no objection."
It was Mrs. Ji who suggested it. Master Ji didn't think there was any problem and agreed immediately.
Most of Ji Yunkai's dowry was prepared by the Yun family in the south. The Yun family was the richest in the world and was the head of the four major wealthy families in the south. Naturally, they would not be stingy when their granddaughter married into the royal family.
Every year, boatloads of good things are sent to the Ji family, just to enrich Ji Yunkai, the granddaughter who will be the queen. Unfortunately, 99% of the things sent by the Yun family are not used by Ji Yunkai.
Ji Yunkai asked: "Father, if I remember correctly, my dowry was prepared for me by the Yun family, right? Why are you so harsh on my dowry?" In her memory, Emperor Ji did not discuss it with the original owner at all.
The Ji family decided directly on the dowry.
"The Yun family is planning to give it to the future queen, are you?" Master Ji said scornfully, with a look of disdain.
Ji Yunkai was not angry, and just said: "Did the Yun family say that if I marry into the Prince of Yanbei's palace, the dowry prepared for me will be taken back?"
Emperor Ji said: "The Yun family still doesn't know that you are going to marry into the Yanbei palace. Do you have any opinions?" It only took seven days from the emperor's decree to the wedding. The north and south are thousands of miles apart. How could he send a message to the Yun family?
"Since the Yun family didn't say anything, the dowry is still mine. My father had better find someone to count it out and give it to me in cash. Otherwise... I will make a big fuss at the wedding tomorrow and refuse to marry." Ji Yunkai didn't really care.
Money, can she eat and use things by herself?
She just wasn't happy. The Yun family gave her so many things every year. It was okay for the Ji family to be greedy. Why didn't they even give her some scraps?
She woke up this morning and wanted to find money to make a new mask, but found that apart from jewelry, she didn't even have a single silver dime, and all she had in her possessions was a few copper plates.
Seeing those few copper coins, she almost fainted again.
The dignified eldest daughter of the Ji family, the granddaughter of the Yun family, the head of the four wealthy families, is so poor that no one would have thought of it, right?
"Are you making a big fuss? If you didn't remind me and you forgot about it, I'll have someone give you medicine tonight and make you deaf and mute. I'll see how you make a fuss!" Emperor Ji was not threatened this time.
But he said coldly.
Ji Yunkai did not reply, but looked at Master Ji coldly. Master Ji was naturally not timid and stared back with cold eyes, silently telling Ji Yunkai that he could do what he said.
"Father, you win!" After a moment of confrontation, Ji Yunkai took the lead and looked away: "I don't want the dowry, and I won't make a fuss about the wedding. I will get married obediently."
"What do you want?" Master Ji Di understood Ji Yunkai and asked before she could speak.
Ji Yunkai said: "I left an orchid mask in the emperor's hands yesterday. Please help me find it, father. It's best to find someone to repair it again. I will use it tomorrow."
Because of this mask, she didn't sleep well last night and kept having nightmares. If she could get the mask back, she wouldn't have to give up the money. It's not like she couldn't support herself.
"Orchid mask? The piece that was crushed by the emperor?" Master Ji knew a little bit about this.
Of course, he was not concerned about Ji Yunkai. He was just worried that Ji Yunkai would cause trouble in the palace, so he paid close attention.
Ji Yunkai nodded.
"Okay, I will have someone deliver it to you early tomorrow morning. You have to wait and be married." It was rare for Ji Yunkai to give in. Teacher Ji and his students were afraid that she would go back on her word, so they immediately made a decision and refused to speak to Ji Yunkai.
opportunity, Emperor Ji left as soon as the deal was settled.
However, when he returned to the study and calmed down, he realized that something was wrong.
"I obviously came to trouble her because of the rumors, so why did I end up helping her get the mask back?"
"There is also the matter of the dowry, which was decided long ago. Why did she give in?"
"I've been led by her all this time? That little beast has grown up!"
Master Ji was shocked to realize that he had been deceived. He was angry and angry. He got up several times and wanted to trouble Ji Yunkai again. Unfortunately, his right leg hurt whenever he moved it. In desperation, he had no choice but to sit quietly in the study room alone.

It's better not to let anyone know about such embarrassing things... (To be continued)
