The mayor of Jili County saw Ji Min laughing so hard that she didn't have time to get angry, so she quickly looked in the mirror. This look shocked her, and she remembered her true appearance.
The patron of Jili County could not teach Ji Min any more, and kept asking people to fetch water to wash his face.
She only remembered that Haitang smeared it on her face from left to right, and then she didn't have time to look in the mirror.
How could I have thought that it would be so extreme! So infuriating!
Qili looked at Ji Jun who couldn't help laughing and Ji Min who was laughing heartily. She felt that she had been "set up"!
Qi Li was so angry that he stamped his feet.
"You are so shameless! You are playing tricks on me! I will never help you again next time!"
Seeing this, Ji Jun rushed forward to comfort him.
"County Lord, don't be angry. Can't I compensate you? How nice you said it! We are relatives! It's too late to be grateful for your help. How can we play tricks on you! Besides, if we are so heartless, my cousin will also They will reprimand us! Ni'er is young and has a child's temperament, do you still take it seriously?"
Ji Min also stepped forward and gently kissed Qi Lifu, smiling coquettishly and saying,
"Thank you, cousin of the county chief, for helping us out. I am not disrespecting you, please forgive Ni'er!"
The Lord of Jili County saw that the sisters of the Ji family, who were both tough towards Nangong Yan and Juqu Qingshan, spoke so softly to him. For a moment, he felt extremely useful, and his inner pride far outweighed the shame he felt just now.
Everyone likes a tall hat, especially someone like the head of Qili County.
The principal of Jili County still showed an unhappy look on his face and said,
"So, Ji Min, you really need to change your behavior! No matter how funny it is, you have to endure it! Also, your behavior is also a bit rude. For example, it was wrong for Zhang Ji to pretend to be the third prince when he gave birth to Young Master Zhang. You You can train him or reason with him, but you can't just hit him on the head!"
Ji Min looked at Ji Jun helplessly. She originally thought that her smile would divert the attention of County Master Jili to her face.
As a result, people took advantage of every opportunity and continued the original topic before washing their faces. Where did they get so much energy?
Ji Jun thought, this is not the teacher's lecture in the previous life. The get out of class cannot end until the content of this section is finished.
Zuili regained his serious and sincere expression and said,
"Think about it, let this kind of thing spread. Which family's wife is not afraid, and which family's young master is not afraid? Even if the wife and the young master are not afraid, you will not be able to pass this test, sister-in-law! Take me for example, I am worried right now. Once you were married to our Guangning County Prince, one day we had a disagreement and you hit me on the head with a tea cup. What should I do? Hit you too? Do we have a fight? "
The more Ji Jun listened, the more something was wrong. He quickly stopped him and said,
"I'm talking about the county boss, the county boss! Stop, stop, stop, you're not married yet, how can it be Ni'er's turn to marry or not? You're going too far!"
Qi Li blurted out,
"It's not far! Some people are already chewing their tongues in front of my mother-in-law!"
Ji Jun and Ji Min looked at each other, both extremely surprised!
Ji Jun wanted to ask a few more questions, but Haitang had already come in with water, and wanted to help the Lord of Jili County wash off the makeup.
Qi Li stopped nagging. Ji Jun and Ji Nian couldn't bear to watch Qi Li wash his face, so they had no choice but to walk out of the room first.
The two came to the courtyard, where willows, roses and some other flowers that Jijun couldn't name were in bloom.
Ji Jun saw Ji Min's brows furrowed and looked a little worried, so he knew she was worried.
First, if there is really a marriage proposal involved, based on her status, it is very likely that Ji Min can only be Zhou Biao's concubine.
In this case, neither uncle nor aunt, nor Ji Min nor Ji Jun would agree. Even Zhou Biao would not agree.
Ji Jun understood that Zhou Biao would not wrong Ji Jun.
But, what if it is a gift of marriage?
Just like before, an imperial edict moved Ni'er to the Marquis of Huai'an.
Secondly, what is the purpose of this move?
After all, it was certainly not the intention of both parents to discuss marriage between Zhou Biao and Ji Min.
Then, there can only be any demand for the Guangning County Prince's Palace and the Liguo Duke's Palace.
For example, Li Chu.
As we all know, the Duke of Li has always been neutral towards the princes.
Although Zhou Biao was once the fifth prince's companion, the two did not have close contacts after that.
Zhou Biao is the emperor's man and he is neutral.
Among all the royal relatives, Prince Guangning has always been known as a loner and straightforward person.
To all the princes, including the previous princes, the Prince of Guangning was indifferent and did not please or flatter anyone at all.
Therefore, there was a conflict between the lord of Qili County and Princess Tong'an. Concubine Shangguan Shu protected her shortcomings, but the Prince of Guangning County dared to protect her shortcomings more than her!
Ji Jun thought, this is really an old fox!
In this way, it seems that it offends the princes and the concubine Shu, but in fact, it can gain the emperor's trust to the greatest extent!
Look, I don't care what your son thinks of me, I just listen to you!
Ji Min sighed quietly and said,
"Cousin, I used to be very confused. Isn't Prince Guangning worried about which prince will retaliate against him after he inherits the throne? Later, I gradually understood that doing this is the real way to balance a bowl of water."
Ji Jun nodded,
"Everyone wants to be well-rounded. But even if they want to be friends with every prince, people's requirements are very different. This is not a piece of pie that can be divided into several equal portions. Even if it can be divided into several equal portions, some people feel that they are fat. If you work a lot, you should eat more, but you’re still not satisfied. It’s better to have nothing.”
Ji Jun remembers a popular saying on the Internet in his previous life, "I am not RMB, so I can't be liked by everyone."
Ji Min looked into the distance and seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be consulting Ji Jun.
"The third prince's mother's family is not powerful, but Empress Zhang has always been the Holy One's favorite. Perhaps the Third Prince will also be particularly concerned about the Holy One."
Ji Jun felt something in his heart, he had no direct heir, but at present, there was no hope for the second prince. If there is, the emperor has already issued an edict, why should the people in the court be panicked now.
The emperor's maternal family had no power, so the emperor was able to ascend the throne because of his great luck.
At the beginning, the emperor's three elder brothers each had the support of their grandfather's family, and they fought to the death.
Because the emperor's biological mother was of low status and in poor health, the emperor was raised under the name of Princess Lu.
Concubine Lu taught the emperor to love brothers without fighting or robbing them.
The three royal brothers did not take this younger brother seriously. Anyway, it would not cost much money to give him the position of idle prince in the end, and he could also gain a good reputation as a "brother, friend and brother".
In the end, the three sons of the late emperor who were vying for the position of prince actually came into conflict with each other. First, the eldest prince sent someone to assassinate the prince!
Then, after the prince was seriously injured, the news was released that he had "died".
As a result, the fourth prince couldn't sit still and killed the eldest prince!
The fourth prince's "brother-killing" act aroused panic among the emperor's relatives, and the prince of Guangning County and the Duke of Qin teamed up to subdue the fourth prince! Into the prison!
The fourth prince committed suicide in the prison!
It was less than a month since he assassinated the eldest prince.
At this moment, everyone felt that the battle for the crown prince was finally over.
It’s clinker, the prince was actually poisoned to death by the eldest prince’s henchmen placed in the palace!
The five emperor brothers of the current emperor are the current Prince Rongan. According to the order of eldest and youngest, Prince Rongan should be made the crown prince, but Prince Rongan resolutely resigned.
The Seventh Emperor's brother had been adopted to the Prince of Yanchu County long ago.
There are also the Sixth Emperor Brother and the Ninth Emperor Brother. They are ready to make a move, but these two people are really unsatisfactory. They usually have all kinds of wine, sex and wealth. The late emperor has a headache just looking at them!
After pulling and pulling, only the "eighth prince" raised by Princess Lu was left!
After the emperor ascended the throne, he kept away from concubines and princes with powerful maternal ancestry. A typical example was Concubine Qin and her son, the seventh prince Zhou Qile.
Secondly, there are Concubine Han De and Concubine Jiao Xian.
Both of them are accompanied by princes, their fathers are ministers, and they also have certain influence in the court.
Ji Jun pondered, could it be that the emperor wanted to pave the way for the third prince?
In the Menghua Palace, Zhao Jieyu, who was dressed in splendid palace attire with embroidered eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, said to Lu Zhaorong,
"Does Empress Zhaorong really not want to take this opportunity to overthrow that person?"
Both of them knew tacitly that "that person" referred to Concubine Jiao Xian.
In the palace, Concubine Jiao Xian had many opponents. Among the more powerful opponents were Hong Chongrong and Li Xiurong.
The other one is Zhao Jieyu and Lu Zhaorong.
Different from the bright and beautiful Zhao Jieyu, Lu Zhaorong is dressed in a light blue gauze dress, with a simple bun and only a pearl jade hairpin. She has a fair complexion, bright eyes and white teeth, her cheeks are as dazzling as the moon shining on a cold river, her lips are light red, and they look like a crescent moon when she purses them.
The whole person is like a fairy in a painting, quiet and otherworldly.
Lu Zhaorong frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry, and she slowly spoke,
"She has two princes and is one of the four concubines, and you and I..."
Zhao Jieyu said anxiously,
"Haven't you heard that? Even a girl from the Ji family dares to go against her, and she is helpless. Why are we afraid of what she will do?"
Lu Zhaorong was noncommittal and silent in thought.
Zhao Jieyu felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.
"You are always like this, afraid of this and that!"
Lu Zhaorong raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Jieyu with a pair of beautiful eyes. After a long time, she said,
"Sister, how much do you know about the fifth prince's mother, Chen Meiren?"
