What does Ji Yunkai really want, is that small fishing village in Xinye, or does he want Yufeng Mountain?
The emperor stared at Ji Yunkai for a long time, but could not figure out the reason. Ji Yunkai was hiding too deeply, and this move was so cleverly done to create mystery.
In order not to fail Ji Yunkai's wish, the emperor said solemnly: "Change another one."
"Then let's go to Tuoshan. I like it there too." Tuoshan is a barren mountain and is close to Tianwu. It is also of little use to Tianqi. At least the emperor can't see the use of these three places.
You can't station troops, you can't plant, you can't live in people. What is Ji Yunkai doing in a place like this?
No, Yufeng Mountain and Tuoshan can still hide people. Although not many, it is still possible to gather thousands of soldiers and horses. These two places...
The emperor squinted his eyes, thinking he had guessed what Ji Yunkai really wanted.
The new fields she mentioned before were just a test, Yufeng Mountain or Tuoshan was what she really wanted.
"Before the Lantern Festival, when Xiao Jiu'an returns to the capital, I will reward you with the small fishing village of Xinye." How could he let Ji Yunkai get his wish?
Ji Yunkai held the tea cup with water for a moment, but his eyes were bright: "The emperor keeps what he says?"
The emperor glanced at Ji Yunkai without leaving any trace, and nodded with a smile: "I am the emperor, and I keep my word." Ji Yunkai wanted to play tricks in front of him, but he was a little naive.
"My wife believes in the emperor." Ji Yunkai stood up, blessed his body, and his lowered eyebrows covered the smile in his eyes.
In front of the emperor, everyone must have the acting skills of a movie queen.
"I also believe that you will not write to Xiao Jiu'an during this period, right?" Although it is beneficial for Xiao Jiu'an to return to the capital, it does not need to be done now. Compared with the centralization of power among the six ministries, the sooner the better.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, my wife will not break the bet." She would not give the Emperor a reason to withdraw the "reward".
"I believe you once." He was not afraid even if Ji Yunkai sent the letter. How could a man like Xiao Jiu'an change his decision for a woman?
Ji Yun smiled but said nothing...
After negotiating a bet with the emperor, Ji Yunkai did not stay in the palace any longer. He glanced at Ji Lan, who was shivering in the cold not far away. Ji Yunkai raised the corners of his lips, smiled mockingly, and turned around to leave.
Ji Lan stood in the cold wind, gritting his teeth with hatred as he watched Ji Yunkai striding away in a red fox cloak.
It was all Ji Yunkai's fault that she would be in this situation today. If Ji Yunkai hadn't caused trouble in the capital, why would she have been implicated, and why would those ministers have been biting her?
In the past, if Ji Yunkai dared to frame her like this, she would have plenty of ways to make her father and the emperor torture Ji Yunkai to death, but now?
Ji Lan showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
She doesn't know how things turned out like this?
It was obvious that the man Ji Yunkai married was short-lived, and it was obvious that the man Ji Yunkai married was arrogant and ruthless. Why was it that Ji Yunkai was finally held in someone's palm and acted willfully, not her?
Ji Lan couldn't understand and had no one to ask. The emperor left without even looking at her, leaving her standing alone in the cold wind.
No accident, Concubine Ji fell ill again, and everyone in the harem was focused on the upcoming New Year's Palace Banquet, and no one cared about her life or death.
As soon as Ji Yun left the palace, news came out that she was deeply in love with Concubine Ji. This news seemed strange, but the elite people in the court immediately understood what it meant.
"Didn't Princess Yanbei say she wouldn't get involved in this matter? Could she be lying to us?"
"The King of Yanbei has returned to Yanbei, and he doesn't know whether he will come back. Princess Yanbei must find a supporter for herself, otherwise how can she, a weak woman, survive in the capital?"
"Princess Yanbei has chosen the emperor? What she said before...is she playing tricks on us?"
"This is the method she came up with. Who knows what the plan is behind her and the emperor. No matter what, we must be careful. We can't fully believe the words of Princess Yanbei, and we can't fully believe the words of the emperor."
"For the sake of King Yanbei, let's give her some credit. If she comes against us, we won't be afraid of her."
…
The ministers were unhappy and were discussing whether to teach Ji Yun a lesson. However, before they could figure out the reason, they received news. All their spies in Yanbei had lost contact, without exception. All had lost contact.
.
"Is this a warning from King Yanbei to us?" All the ministers who received the news instantly calmed down.
Regardless of whether Xiao Jiuan left his princess as a hostage in the capital, Ji Yunkai was still the princess of Yanbei. Even for the sake of face, Xiao Jiuan would not let anyone bully Ji Yunkai.
This matter is related to the face of the Yanbei Palace. Moreover, even if Xiao Jiu'an is not in the capital, there are still 20,000 Yanbei troops outside the city, and the young master of the Xiao family is still there, it is not that easy to move Ji Yunkai.
"Let it go for now, don't be fooled by the emperor." The ministers silently found a place for themselves to get off the stairs, and left the matter of teaching Ji Yunkai a lesson.
None of them are alone, there is a big family behind them, and they dare not play with that madman, King Yanbei.
As the New Year approaches, the capital is filled with joy. No matter how fierce the fighting is behind the scenes, there is peace on the surface.
With the full cooperation of the royal ladies and the escort of the emperor, everything needed for the palace banquet has been arranged, and the palace banquet is just waiting for the New Year's Eve palace banquet to start tomorrow night.
Ji Yunkai checked with the princesses, county princesses and princesses for the last time and confirmed that everything was correct. Ji Yunkai sent everyone away and called his personal guards to keep a close eye on them.
"For so many days, those adults haven't taken action. They will definitely take action today. You guys should keep an eye on it to avoid any accidents." Although there are people watching everything and there are people responsible for any problems, Ji Yunkai still remains.
Don't worry.
The success of the palace banquet is related to the game between the previous emperor and the ministers.
The success of the palace banquet proved that her method was indeed effective, and the emperor would have more reason to promote this method in the six departments. On the contrary, if the palace banquet was in chaos, the ministers would have reason to prevent the emperor from promoting this method.
"Yes." The guards should have taken the order, but as soon as they turned around, Xiao Shaorong, the young master of the Xiao family, walked in hurriedly: "Princess, something happened."
"You guys go down first." Ji Yunkai waved away his guards and then asked, "What happened?"
"The flowers and fruits used at the palace banquet appear to be fine on the surface, but in fact they are all necrotic. The news was deliberately concealed, and I am afraid no one will find out until the banquet." There is no shortage of ministers like Mr. Ji who stands up to others.
On the opposite side, there are people who work for the emperor. In the same way, there will be no shortage of people in the clan who are on the opposite side of the emperor.
Everything in this world is just a profit. The game between the minister and the emperor is just for a profit.
At the palace banquet, everything was prepared by the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was difficult to pull off a dirty trick, and the destructive power was not enough. Only flowers and fruits, which are tributes from outside the palace, are best to be manipulated, and it is difficult to find them if something goes wrong.
The culprit.
After something happened, although the person responsible for purchasing flowers and fruits has to be responsible, that person will inevitably shirk it. When the time comes, her "responsibility letter" will first arouse the dissatisfaction of everyone in the clan... (To be continued)
