The journey back to the palace was smooth. After Xiao Jiuan left his horse to the servant, he strode towards the inner courtyard. When he reached the intersection, Xiao Jiuan paused, raised his steps, and walked towards the courtyard where Ji Yunkai lived.
.
When Xiao Jiuan came back, it was already dark, but it was not too late. It happened to be the time when Ji Yunkai was having dinner. When Xiao Jiuan came over, Ji Yunkai's dinner had just been put on the table.
"Your Highness!" Ji Yunkai didn't expect Xiao Jiu'an to come yesterday and at this time today, so he couldn't help but be stunned.
Is she here to make a living? The Prince of Yanbei is so poor that he needs a noble prince to come to her to make a living?
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuan didn't hesitate and sat down directly on the main seat, making it clear that he wanted to have dinner here.
Not to mention Ji Yunkai was stunned now, even the servants of Yanbei Palace were also stunned. A flash of surprise flashed across Nuan Dong's face. He glanced at Ji Yunkai, saw Ji Yunkai nodded, and then went to get the bowl.
chopsticks.
The two of them sat down in order. Ji Yunkai drank the soup first and then ate as usual. His movements were not slow but not eager. They were very rhythmic, which was pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Jiuan, on the other hand, was the opposite of her. He finished two bowls of rice first and then drank the soup. His movements were very fast, but not rude. He looked like he was grabbing food in the army, which made people move their index fingers just by looking at him.
It wasn't that Xiao Jiuan didn't understand that drinking soup first was good for his health, but the cruel experience that year made him have the energy to do other things only when he was filling his stomach.
Although Ji Yunkai didn't know, she had never been a meddlesome person, so she naturally didn't talk much.
The two of them followed the rules very well, saying nothing when eating or sleeping. However, the atmosphere at the table was not as tense as yesterday. Instead, there was a sense of leisure. The two of them were not affected by the speed and frequency of each other's meals, nor were they influenced by each other.
Each other is eating their own food.
In the warm winter, Si Qi and the others stood aside, amazed. Very few people could remain as calm as before under the influence of the prince. The princess was really not simple. They had underestimated the princess in the past.
Xiao Jiuan ate more than twice as much as Ji Yunkai, but their speed was about the same. They finished their meals almost in tandem.
After dinner, Ji Yunkai used to go for a walk in the yard, smell the fragrance of flowers and plants, and relieve his appetite. But Xiao Jiuan was there, so Ji Yunkai could only make peace. The two of them walked to the small hall beside them and sat down. A servant brought tea.
.
Ji Yunkai didn't explain in advance today. Nuan Dong prepared boiled water for Xiao Jiu'an, and Ji Yunkai did the same!
Ji Yunkai didn't like drinking tea, especially after meals. There was nothing she could do about it last night. She had a stomachache from the meal last night. If she didn't digest it, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep in the middle of the night.
"Does the prince have anything to do with me?" Ji Yunkai asked proactively as soon as he sat down.
She didn't think that Xiao Jiu'an would come to her just for a meal. This was not like Xiao Jiu'an's style.
"Zhao Chenhe is going to see me today. What's your idea?" Indeed, Xiao Jiu'an would not come to Ji Yunkai just for a meal.
If he couldn't eat anywhere, was it worth his while to come to Ji Yunkai?
"Uh... who is Zhao Chenhe? Prince Duan?" Ji Yunkai wanted to deny it, but thought of what Prince Duan told him, he choked up again. He changed the denial to explore, so that it would not seem abrupt.
.
"Hmm." Xiao Jiuan glanced at Ji Yunkai suspiciously. This woman was so familiar with Prince Duan, but she didn't know his name?
But the way she looked, it didn't look like she was faking it.
With the previous buffer, Ji Yunkai calmed down a lot, and said blindly with his eyes open: "Let's forget it, he came to visit me today, and while we were chatting, we talked about Liuli, and he ran there in a hurry.
Looking for you."
Ji Yunkai wanted to accept Prince Duan's kindness, but she really had no shame in saying that she wanted Prince Duan to talk to Xiao Jiu'an. This was so false that she didn't even believe it.
"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an nodded clearly: "What do you think?" He didn't want to interfere, but since Ji Yunkai had asked him, he couldn't let Ji Yunkai suffer. Even if the people of Yanbei Palace were to be punished,
When someone is being bullied, it is not the turn of outsiders to take action.
"I think it's good. Liuli is quite profitable, and it can also dampen Princess Tianwu's arrogance." Is the business she proposed good?
"Well, Zhao Chenhe said that Yanbei Palace has a 30% profit." Xiao Jiu'an, who is not a glazed man, didn't notice it at all. In his opinion, to suppress the opponent's arrogance, all he had to do was be stronger than the opponent, but Ji Yunkai had to do something
Yes, he won't stop it.
"Ah? Thirty percent? Didn't you say that our palace accounts for 60%?" Ji Yunkai blushed slightly when he said this. In the eyes of others, she was excited, but only she knew that she was blushing with embarrassment.
She was too embarrassed to see anyone, so she finally followed Prince Duan's script and left, but, but...
There is no other way. She, Ji Yunkai, is just such a person. She will do whatever is beneficial to her. The biggest principle is that everything is for her own good.
Xiao Jiuan glanced at Ji Yunkai lightly. Inexplicably, when he heard the word "we" from Ji Yunkai's mouth, he didn't dislike it at all.
"Thirty percent of it will be given to you personally." Xiao Jiuan was in a good mood and was too lazy to test Ji Yunkai again.
"Give me someone, do you need it?" Ji Yunkai continued to act stupid. Anyway, her face was already so red, and it wouldn't matter if she got redder.
At this time, Ji Yunkai was extremely glad that she was wearing a mask on her face, and her face was only half red, so she wouldn't look so obviously fake.
"Which prince's mistress does not have her own private property?" Xiao Jiu'an rolled his eyes at Ji Yunkai coldly: "Just keep what I gave you." Ji Yunkai should be regarded as the one with the least private property among the noble ladies in the capital.
one.
In the eyes of outsiders, with a rich family like the Yun family, Ji Yunkai would never be short of money, but Xiao Jiuan knew that Ji Yunkai really didn't have much money.
It is true that businessmen value profits. Ji Yunkai wanted to marry him, a dying man, and there was no profit to be gained from her. How could the Yun family be willing to spend money on her?
"Okay." Ji Yunkai responded crisply, without any dissatisfaction.
Although things were a little bit wrong as she expected, the results were consistent, so how could she be dissatisfied.
Similarly, Xiao Jiu'an was also very satisfied. He was not satisfied that the palace had an extra income, but he was satisfied with Ji Yunkai's attitude. This woman finally knew that she took Yanbei Palace to her heart.
He doesn't need Ji Yun to think about the interests of Prince Yanbei's palace at all times, but when people are in his Prince's Palace of Yanbei's house, eating from his Prince Yanbei's palace, and living in his Prince's Palace of Yanbei's, he must not harm the interests and face of Prince Yanbei's palace, just like Ji
Yun Kai's previous actions were absolutely unacceptable.
"Regarding the cooperation with Prince Duan's Mansion, if necessary, please let someone notify Zhao Chenhe to come to Prince Yanbei's Mansion. You have rarely gone out recently." Xiao Jiu'an said coldly. At the end, I don't know what he was thinking, and added: "This king's
Due to the deadly enemy, Beichen’s eldest prince may have entered the city."
His intuition was not wrong. When he entered the city, he did feel a strong murderous aura. Even if he didn't see anyone, he could guess something.
At this time, no one except Beichen Tianque would hate him that much.
"I understand." After hearing the first half of the sentence, Ji Yunkai was still a little dissatisfied, but after hearing the second half, Ji Yunkai immediately felt relieved.
Xiao Jiuan, are you worried about her, right? (To be continued)
