Chapter 285 Companion Reading
"The grandson of Duke Ji is really interesting this time."

The queen mother covered her lips and said with a smile, fine wrinkles appeared on the corners of her forehead and eyes, obviously amused by Ping An.

The emperor nodded, with a smile on his face, "Yes. Ji Wuyou is not only funny, but also extremely intelligent. I heard that he can memorize the Three Character Classic at the age of two."

"Oh!"

The Empress Dowager was shocked, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is also four years old now."

"Yes, mother."

"A four-year-old child is at the age of playing around among the people. However, he is still studying after being in a scholarly family. What's more, he was born in the royal family."

"What the queen mother said is that I originally planned to let the fifth child study with the Taifu after this month."

The queen mother nodded in relief, "The fifth prince is still young, so I'm afraid he won't like reading."

"What does the empress mean..."

The queen mother continued: "Let's find him a companion. With a companion, the fifth prince will pay more attention to his studies."

The emperor lowered his eyes, "What does the empress mean, as long as the grandson of the Duke-in-law will accompany the fifth brother?"

"It must be him!" The queen mother smiled kindly, and said, "Didn't you say that he is unparalleled in intelligence, your majesty, with him following the fifth prince, the Ai family and the emperor can rest assured."

"But my mother, Ji Wuyou is only two years old this year, where is the Duke..."

"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother continued, "Your Majesty is a sensible man, and the Majesty told him the truth, and he agreed. What's more, it is an extremely honorable thing to accompany the prince to study. "

"Yes, mother."

.........

"What? Ping An wants to enter the palace to accompany the fifth prince to read?"

The eldest lady jumped up first, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Ji Chang nodded heavily.

In the flower hall, everyone looked solemn.

The two brothers Ji Li and Ji Ji glanced at each other, and they both saw resentment and unwillingness in each other's eyes.

"You two come with me to the study."

Ji Chang stood up and said to his two sons.

Ji Li and Ji Ji followed Ji Chang, and the father and son entered the study.

In the flower hall, the eldest lady, the second lady, Tong Zhi'er, and Princess Huainan gathered together.

"Zhi'er, what should we do? Ping'an is still so young, and the palace..."

After all, she was concerned about Princess Huainan, who is a close relative of the royal family. The lady did not say the following words.

"Mother, it's not a bad thing to be the companion of the fifth prince safely."

Princess Huainan said.

The eldest lady and the second lady frowned at the same time, but they didn't speak.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is indeed a good thing, maybe it can also honor the ancestors.

But for the Duke's House, their credit and glory are already great enough, and they don't need to enter the palace safely to be the prince's companion to add glory.

What's more, this time it's not a matter of glorifying the ancestors, but the one in the palace is using it as a bargaining chip to blackmail their Duke's mansion.

"Zhier, what do you think we should do?"

It's really deceiving!
Tong Zhi'er cursed in her heart.

"Too deceiving!"

In the study, Ji Li slammed his fist on the desk.

"I will enter the palace now, resign from this position, and hand over all the military power."

"return----"

Ji Chang called his furious eldest son to stop.

"You entered the palace at this moment, thinking that the emperor will change his mind and take it back."

"Father, isn't that what you want us to do by doing this?"

Ji Li turned his head and said angrily in a hoarse voice.

"Maybe there is such an intention. However, the emperor only took back my military power a few days ago, which would cause people to gossip. He won't take back your military power so soon."

Otherwise, the common people would have to use a few ugly words --- "killing the donkey to kill the mill" to describe this wise and wise emperor.

The writer of history, the official historian, will also truthfully record this matter in the history books.

As a king, besides rights, what he cares about is the name before and after.

If not, the emperor would have taken back the military power of Ji Chang's family long ago.

All three are brave generals who have guarded the border for many years and defeated countless enemies. They have defended the peace of the empire and have an extremely important position in the hearts of the people.

"boom!"

Another punch on the table, but this time it's the season.

His eyes were red, and he looked like an angry leopard, with a dangerous aura all over his body, "Then what should we do? Let's just obediently send peace to the palace? Where is the palace? Dirty? Who doesn't know? Go in safely, if something happens, what should we do? What about elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Ji Chang frowned.

Ji Li pursed his lips tightly, unable to say a word.

An oppressive and dull atmosphere spread in the study, and Ji Chang, father and son were just so silent.

"The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed, send it to the palace safely."

The woman's voice came into the room from outside the study.

Ji Li quickly opened the door, and Tong Zhi'er's painful eyes appeared in front of him.

"Big search!"

Season exclaimed.

"Zhi'er, you..."

"For the current plan, the only way is to send Ping An to the palace. Father, Ah Li, brother, Ping An is my son, and I will never let anything happen to him."

After several years of husband and wife, Ji Li naturally knows what kind of temperament Tong Zhier is.

The decision she has made will never be changed easily.

Unless, you can find a more convincing reason for her.

Ji Li and Ji Ji looked at Ji Chang at the same time.

"Zhi'er, are you sure?"

The emperor is now very afraid of the Ji family who holds a heavy army. There can be no secret sentry in the palace, and no one who secretly protects the safety. Once discovered, the emperor will be furious.

The emperor was furious, and Ji's family would suffer catastrophe.

Ji Chang just didn't want to hold a heavy army and make the emperor jealous and jealous, but he never wanted the Ji family to completely stay away from the government and the world.

As a soldier, the Ji family's ancestors have taken the responsibility of defending the family and the country for generations. The soul of the army has been deeply engraved in Ji Chang's bones, and he will definitely follow the wishes and will of his ancestors and carry it forward.

Tong Zhier nodded heavily.

…………

"Mom, you seem very unhappy today?"

In the room, Ping An tilted his head and looked up at Tong Zhi'er.

Xiao Tao and Hong'er were packing their things, when they heard Ping'an's words, their eyes were sour, and tears fell down.

"Peace," Tong Zhi'er picked him up and put him on his lap, "Mother is not by your side, are you afraid?"

A flash of panic flashed in Ping An's eyes, and he held Tong Zhi'er's hand very tightly, "Mother, why do you say that?"

"Ping An, mother wants to tell you something..."

"...Mom, do I have to enter the palace?"

"Yes, if you don't enter the palace, your grandfather, father, and uncle will all be in trouble."

Tong Zhi'er's heart was extremely sour.

Besides this path, it's not that she didn't think of ways to make Ping Chian sick.It's just that if they pretend to be sick, the palace will definitely send an imperial doctor to check it out. If one fails, the other will know that they are using double means. This will undoubtedly make things worse for the Ji family.

The emperor's heart is really unpredictable.

right.

Can make a person crazy!

Pingan lowered his head, thought for a long time, nodded heavily, raised his face, and looked at Tong Zhi'er firmly, "Mother, I understand, I'm entering the palace."

"Safety………"

Tong Zhi'er hugged him tightly.

"Ma'am, everything is packed."

Xiao Tao and Hong'er wiped away their tears, and said in a choked up voice.

"it is good."

Tong Zhi'er took Ping An's hand and got up from the bed.

In the courtyard, the old lady, the first lady, the second lady, Ji Chang, Ji Li, Ji Ji, Huainan Princess, all stood there waiting.

"Peace, come to great-grandmother."

The old lady waved.

Tong Zhi'er let go of his hand and said softly, "Go."

Ping An nodded, ran to the old lady's side, raised her head and said: "Great-grandmother, Ping An is not here, you have to take good care of yourself, Ping An can leave the palace, and I will definitely come to see you."

"Hey, okay, Ping An is so good," the old lady had tears in her eyes, took out something from her sleeve, and put it in Ping An's hand, "Ping An, you have to remember to wear this ornament on your body properly, what? Never leave."

"En." Ping An nodded and hung it around his neck.

"Put your ears here, and your great-grandmother whispered to you... Do you remember everything?"

Ping An nodded heavily.

The old lady had a satisfied smile on her face, "Okay, say goodbye to your grandparents."

…………

"Father, mother, leave safely."

Saying goodbye to everyone, walking safely in front of Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li, said in a deep voice.

"Ping'an, remember what mother said, and be obedient in the palace." Tong Zhi'er reminded.

Ping An blinked and said, "Mother, Ping An remembered."

"You send the young master to the palace properly."

Ji Li gave instructions to the coachman.

"Don't worry, my son, my subordinates will definitely send the young master to the palace safely."

Ping An got into the carriage, waved goodbye to everyone, and pulled the curtain of the carriage.

"What did grandma give Ping An?"

When Ping'an's carriage disappeared, Tong Zhi'er asked Ji Lidao.

"It's the jade pendant that can test all kinds of poisons. Taking him safely makes me feel more at ease."

"Can you test a hundred poisons? Thank you, grandma."

Ji Li looked at Tong Zhi'er, "Grandmother is just such a great-grandson, her baby is safe, no less than us."

"So there must be nothing wrong with Ping An."

Tong Zhi'er clenched his fists and stared at the direction of the palace.

.........

"Young master, we've arrived at the palace."

The coachman said outside.

"it is good."

Little Pingan opened the curtain of the car, and was immediately carried down by the driver.There were several eunuchs and court ladies standing at the gate of the palace, seeing Ping An's face, they quickly surrounded him.

"I've met Young Master Ji." Everyone saluted.

This one seems to be only two years old, but he is an amazing master.

His grandfather was the former Grand Marshal of the empire, his father is the left general who now holds a large army in the empire, and his uncle is the right general who serves in the Royal Forest Army, and he is still the fifth prince's companion at this moment, with a bright future ahead of him.What's more, this little master is very smart, and no one will despise him because of his young age.
