Chapter 22: Princess Xian’s visit

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hou, but children are not very sensible. Ajin, please come and apologize to sister Hua'er." The queen winked at Bei Hengjin.

Ji Hua had a look on her face: "Yes, yes, come and apologize to me quickly, otherwise I will cry to you and make everyone think that I have suffered internal injuries, which will make you feel guilty."

Bei Hengjin:

 After hesitating again and again, Bei Hengjin gritted his teeth and stepped forward to apologize to Ji Hua, and also gave away the jade pendant he was carrying later.

The prince knew that no one could take away the jade pendant from him unless he was willing, because it had the word "Jin" carved by the Xian Princess herself.

 The grievance in Ji Hua's heart immediately disappeared without a trace after receiving the jade pendant.

“I’m really sorry that Miss Ji has been wronged. Tao’er, go and get the piece of Hetian jade that was sent as tribute from the Southern Territory.”

Mrs. Ji looked embarrassed: "Queen, the prince has already lost the jade just now, so don't spend any money."

The queen smiled even more gently: "That piece was paid by Ajin, and this piece was paid by me, how can they be the same? Mrs. Hou just doesn't look down on me if she refuses again and again."

How could Mrs. Ji dare to speak like this?

 Not long after, the palace attendant brought an extremely beautiful box and opened it. Revealing the pure white jade bracelet inside.

  【Wow, it is the top-ranked white jade among Hetian jade. It is warm, moist and white, and it looks like top-grade white jade at first glance. The price is high, and the Queen is so generous. 】

Ji Hua’s little eyes are sparkling.

When Mrs. Ji heard that the price was high, her heart trembled.

“Bring Miss Ji over here, I will put it on her personally.” The Queen spoke, and the palace attendants immediately stepped forward to pick up Ji Hua.

 At this time, the queen was very friendly and did not have the cold, arrogant and dangerous feeling in her impression.

When the queen saw Ji Hua's round face, dark eyes, smooth complexion, and a mole in the corner of her eye that was the same as Mrs. Hou's, she was immediately surprised. Especially the squirming little mouth is particularly cute.

“I have long heard that Miss Ji is as beautiful as Mrs. Hou, and now I see that it is indeed the case.” The queen took the jade bracelet from the palace attendant and put it on Ji Hua’s arm.

Ji Hua raised her arms curiously and looked at it, her cheeks filled with joy.

  【Wow, what a beautiful bracelet! 】

   Since the Queen is so generous, I will help you on the day of your birthday party. 】

 She has to work hard to earn points now, so that she can keep the queen.

 A bracelet in exchange for a life, isn’t it a loss? !

She also knew that for the sake of the prince, the queen wanted to get close to the Ji family, how could she lose face?

 The time was almost up here, and the queen entered the topic in a low voice. "I heard that your concubine invited Madam Hou into the palace today to diagnose A Yuan's child. The child's life is very miserable. If Madam Hou has a way, I can help you no matter what the cost."

It is not difficult to hear that the queen’s words were pleading.

Mrs. Ji was not stupid. She sighed and said, "It was a fluke to save Miss Zhao yesterday. The third prince's body is severely depleted. I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

That means it can’t be cured?

 After Ji Yushu helped the prince yesterday, the queen and the prince analyzed and learned that the Ji family planned to side with the prince.

 Hence, I plan to inform the Ji family about Wuhan University. After thinking for a moment, the queen lowered her voice and said: "Zhao Xue died during the interrogation. At the same time, it was also found out that Wu Da was a trick that the second prince placed in the Ji family to steal the list of Master Ji's disciples."

Even though she knew in advance that Wuhan University was doing it carefully, Mrs. Ji had to pretend to be shocked at this time. At the same time, he secretly said: Wu Da belongs to the third prince, and he wants to bite the second prince to death, which shows that he is a tough guy.

"The second prince was banned for one month and punished with a salary of one year." The purpose of stealing the list was simple, and he planned to form a clique for personal gain.

The list is not just a list, it also has addresses and other details.

 In this case, it is really unjustifiable to simply impose a grounding ban.

 The Queen's next words confirmed Ji Hua's guess.

“Concubine Xian’s mother’s family is the richest in Sheng Yu, and they have a lot of money. At the time of the construction of water conservancy projects in Jiang and Chongqing, Concubine Xian offered to donate silver to solve the urgent need of the emperor. The condition is that she can help the second prince pay it off.”

 It is a serious crime to criticize important court matters in private. The queen also took a big risk.

What the Queen meant by saying this was to remind the Ji family that if there is one Wu Da, it is not difficult to ensure that there will not be a second Wu Da.

How could Mrs. Ji not understand? As a woman in the back house, she didn't know much about the decision of her men and sons, so she didn't reveal too much.

After sitting for half an hour, Mrs. Ji stood up and left.

Ji Hua’s round eyes fell on Bei Hengjin.

"You bastard, go home and spend more time with your mother. Hey, you have a hard life like me. If I had been successfully transferred by the Qin family that day, I would be living a life worse than death now."

 The Qin family? Bei Hengjin frowned tightly.

“Ajin, it’s cold outside, go back to the house.”

Bei Hengjin held the prince's hand tightly and shook his head in protest.

The prince had no choice but to order the palace servants to bring a heavy cloak and put it on him. He turned around and said to Mrs. Ji with a smile: "Ajin is a bit stubborn. Ever since she came back from the full moon banquet, she has been talking about Sister Hua'er. She even calls her Sister Hua'er in her dreams."

Ji Hua’s face was full of surprise: “The brat is really calling me in his dreams? Why don’t I believe it so much?”

Bei Hengjin’s eyes followed Ji Hua until he walked out of the palace gate and saw Madam Hou carrying Ji Hua into the carriage.

 That night, Mrs. Ji informed Mr. Ji of what happened during the day.

 Blood jade? How could a noble concubine be willing to give such a valuable thing to his daughter? Before, he would not have paid attention to these things, but after learning that the third prince was pretending to be ill. He had to pay attention to all matters related to the third prince.

 No, you have to ask Yin Zheng to check.

 In the next few days, Ji Houye, Ji Yushu and Ji Linfeng all seemed very busy.

Ji Hua got up early in the morning, always feeling that she had forgotten something important.

  【No, that's not right, there must be something important that I have forgotten. Ouch, what on earth is going on? It feels quite important. 】

   Ah, I remembered, today is the day when Princess Xian’s accident happened. 】

Hearing her daughter's startled voice, Mrs. Ji was suddenly startled.

 What happened to Princess Xian? What could happen to Princess Xian?

In Shengjing, if there is anyone who can compete with him besides Lord Ji who dotes on his wife, it is none other than the virtuous king.

  When the wise king married the wise princess, he promised that he would only marry her in his life, and he did it later.

If something happens to Princess Xian, no one can predict what crazy things King Xian will do?

At this moment, Xiuhe hurriedly came to report: "Madam, Princess Xian came to visit with the young prince."

 “Huh??” Mrs. Ji was confused.

【What? Princess Xian is here? What is she here to do? 】

 I just mentioned her, and it happened in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry, please come to the front hall." Mrs. Ji quickly tidied up her appearance and arranged it for Ji Hua along the way.

 Because the weather is cold, rain and snow occasionally fall. Mrs. Ji was afraid of freezing her daughter, so she wrapped her whole body tightly.

 Like briquettes.

 Only a chubby little face is exposed.

 The tiger head hat on the head is very eye-catching.

  【Oh mother, I am a girl, how could I like tiger head hats? My daughter only likes rabbit head hats. 】

The corners of Mrs. Ji’s mouth twitched. Then he said to Xiuhe: "Go and get the rabbit-headed hat. I think this hat doesn't suit the girl's temperament."

  【Yes, yes, yes, my mother is really discerning. My temperament is extremely noble, and of course I am not worthy of a mere tiger head hat. 】

"Okay, let's go." Xiuhe left with a smile. Not long after, he brought out a rabbit-head hat.

 Looking at it, it is indeed much smarter than the tiger hat.

By the time the two of them arrived at the front hall, the servants had just served tea to Princess Xian.

Ji Hua's eyes widened when she saw Bei Hengjin, who was also wearing a rabbit-headed hat.

“No, no, this kid also likes rabbit hats! Even the colors of his clothes are the same.”

 “By the way, what is he doing here today?”

"Today is the day when Princess Xian's accident happened. Will the fate of the Ji family be changed when she comes? But the accident happened in the afternoon at Shen Shi, and it's only the morning now? Can Princess Xian sit there until Shen Shi?"

Bei Hengjin’s eyes moved slightly. Sure enough, it was right to seek refuge at Ji’s house.

He thought about it over and over, but couldn't think of any reasonable reason to take down the two maids, so he had no choice but to persuade his mother to take refuge in Ji's house under the guise of liking sister Hua'er.
