Ji Jun let Shaoyao not only round up the old man's roasted sweet potatoes, but also bought the old man's raw sweet potatoes and the stove.
Then, Peony smeared her face black, sat in front of the stove, roasted and sold.
Originally, a sweet potato was sold for two cents, but when I arrived at Shaoyao's place, I raised the price from the floor to three cents apiece!
But two are five cents, three are six cents, four are seven cents, and five are eight cents!
In this way, it can be sold much faster than the old man.
Many people who visit the market are either hungry to satisfy their hunger, and one sweet potato is really not enough. So I bought them two by three.
There are also some people who want to buy them back home, and they also buy them three or five at a time. The more you buy, the better!
Ji Jun hid in a corner, eating hot roasted sweet potatoes with Li Mi and praising,
"Shaoyao really has a talent for business!"
Li Mi smiled but did not answer. He saw several people following him, milling around.
Unknowingly, I followed Zhou Huan's people. Zhou Huan's people didn't know whether they were really hungry or Zhou Huan asked them to wander around a few times and then come back to buy a roasted sweet potato.
The person following Li Mi was also a little hungry, so he also bought roasted sweet potatoes.
Because we can't let Zhou Huan's people out of sight, and it's hard to explain to the missing eldest son. If it doesn't work, we will use these people to explain to the prince's wife.
After Ji Jun ate two sweet and glutinous roasted sweet potatoes, he felt that the fatigue of the whole day was relieved a lot.
She stretched herself contentedly and said,
"Now I am resurrected with full blood. Come on, give me the porcelain bottle. I will cut some blood for the prince, and you can take it back!"
Li Mi looked unbearable when he saw this, moved his lips, and finally swallowed his words.
Ji Jun didn't see Li Mi's expression. He opened the porcelain bottle with a smile and asked Li Mi to hold the porcelain bottle.
Then Ji Jun gritted his teeth hard, closed his eyes and found a more suitable position on the back of his hand, where a small blood vessel passed through. He drew a mark on it with his fingernail. After a lot of effort, he Determined, he cut his wrist with a sharp dagger!
Eee! It really hurts like hell!
Fortunately, she applied some analgesic and anesthetic medicine to her skin in advance, which could slightly relieve the pain.
But the fear of cutting the meat yourself is really hard to overcome!
Ji Jun remembered that when he was taking acupuncture classes in his previous life, there was a class where the teacher asked everyone to choose an acupoint and then recite the "acupoint song" for that acupoint.
After reciting it, use a needle to prick this acupuncture point on yourself!
Ji Jun's exam order was at the back, and several students in the front chose "Hegu point".
The teacher said that the students behind could no longer choose "Hegu point".
As a last resort, Ji Jun chose the "Liequ point".
After reciting the "Acupoint Song", Ji Jun's heart trembled and he stabbed himself!
Not to mention, the needle actually penetrated into the skin!
Ji Jun was about to pull out the needle, but the teacher shook his head and inserted the needle a few more points!
Suddenly, Ji Jun felt like his arm was electrified, tingling and tingling! Numb and crispy!
The taste is so sour and refreshing!
Now, there is no way to save people!
Who put himself in such a situation! He and Duke Li are in the same boat. To save Duke Li and his son, he is also saving himself in disguise!
The moment Li Mi saw Ji Jun cutting his own skin and bleeding, he felt a myriad of emotions and distress in his heart.
He was once again annoyed that he was unable to protect his cousin and the woman in front of him who he admired and admired.
Li Mi silently warned himself that he must be strong!
Previously, he believed that as long as he was familiar with military books and tactics, as long as he could gallop on the battlefield and lead troops to kill the enemy, as long as he could protect his family and country, he could protect the safety of his family.
But now, he understands that if he only knows how to charge into battle blindly, he will not be able to realize his most simple and basic wishes.
Duke Li does not need to participate in the battle for the crown prince, he does not need to show closeness to any prince, he can have his own stand, or under the current circumstances, he does not need to support any prince.
But the premise is that they must also have strong power, so that the princes cannot shake the Duke of Li's palace even half a point, whether before they compete for the throne or after they win the throne!
In this way, we can ensure the thoroughness of the Duke Li's mansion.
After blood dripped all over the porcelain vase, Li Mi quickly took out the golden sore medicine and applied it to Ji Jun.
Then, he bandaged Ji Jun carefully. Haitang wanted to step forward to take over, but was pulled aside by Zhan Xiao.
Although Li Mi's hands looked a little clumsy, he was very careful when bandaging Ji Jun and kept blowing on the wound gently.
Ji Jun felt that his skin was cool and slightly comfortable. Invisibly, the pain was reduced a bit.
However, during the bandaging process, their heads were very close to each other.
When Ji Jun reacted, Li Mi moved his body, and the two people's foreheads touched each other!
It doesn't hurt at all, but when I touch it, my cheek touches it!
Ji Jun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so they both pretended that nothing happened and quickly separated.
Ji Jun saw that Li Mi's ears were already red. I guess it may be because Li Mi has never been in such close contact with girls.
Ouch! This is still a shy big boy!
But when he thought about it, Ji Jun's face began to heat up, and he felt as if he was "making fun of" others!
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Ji Jun said,
"Cousin, is there any news in the palace recently? How is the selection of the concubine going?"
Recently, I have been busy thinking about "Pu Lian" in "Good Neighbors" and the box I got back from Chen Guogong's mansion. They didn't even care about the gossip about the selection of concubines by those in Huai'an Marquis Mansion.
Li Mi said,
"I do have something to tell you and Ni'er, because there have been some changes in the palace in recent days. Cousin Zhou Biao is in the palace assisting the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate this matter."
Ji Jun frowned and said,
"No wonder we don't see Zhou Biao coming to our "good neighbor" these days! What's wrong? Someone was killed?"
A burning fire of gossip ignited in Ji Jun's heart.
There are such records in many palace battle books, such as "selecting a concubine" and some important royal affairs, there will be accidents of this kind.
Li Mi smiled fondly and saw that the uncomfortable expression on Ji Jun's face was no longer there, guessing that his topic had successfully diverted her attention.
"It can be considered a life-threatening incident!" Li Mi sighed softly,
"Regarding the birth mother of the fifth prince, Chen Meiren, there are now rumors in the palace that Chen Meiren was murdered. It just so happened that the death anniversary of Chen Meiren and the prince's death were both close to each other in these days. As a result, Queen Nangong sent the fifth prince to pay homage to the prince. , stopped by to pay homage to Chen Meiren. On the way back, the entourage said that he saw Chen Meiren’s ghost! Chen Meiren said that she was killed and wanted the fifth prince to avenge her! Banzai was very unhappy after hearing this, so he sent the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate, At first, some evidence pointed to Concubine Jiao Xian, but after in-depth investigation, it was discovered that Concubine Han De, the mother-concubine of the fourth prince, was also suspected."
Ji Jun's head is a bit big at the moment. To be honest, so far, she has only been able to find out some basic information about the older princes in the royal family, such as age, origin, and the situation of their mother's family. Ah, what respectable people do I interact with on a daily basis?
Of course, the most important thing is, does the crown prince have great hope?
However, although this is the most important, it is also the most uncertain!
Because so far, five candidates have emerged!
While waiting for Zhou Huan to give her an in-depth analysis and explanation, Ji Jun felt like he was "prosperous".
Remember the back, forget the front.
Those intricate relationships between courtiers, such as father-son relationship, in-law relationship, master-disciple relationship, son-in-law relationship, support and follower relationship, etc., are so complicated!
But according to Ji Jun, Concubine Han Def was in a high position, so why did she want to harm a young concubine?
If Concubine Han De has no son, it is still possible to kill her mother and seize the son. The problem is that she has a son herself, and her son was born before Chen Meiren’s son!
Li Mi said,
"Yes, isn't this a strange place? Later, after investigation, it was discovered that it was said that when the fifth prince was not born, about two months before he was born, Chen Meiren's fetus was unstable, and the imperial doctor gave her Chen Meiren diagnosed her pulse and said that the fifth prince was likely to be born with congenital defects, or even a stillbirth. Later, someone told Chen Meiren that Concubine Han De took advantage of her power and position to take away the fifth prince's blessing. So Chen Meiren was in the palace. The villain cursed Concubine Han De and her son."
Overwhelming victory has been a taboo in palaces throughout the ages!
Ji Jun sighed secretly, she didn't know if Chen Meiren did this.
However, the key is whether the emperor believes it or not. If the emperor believes it, wouldn’t Chen Meiren be doomed?
The emperor was furious when he found out.
Ji Jun's heart sank, he seemed to believe it.
There is disharmony between the emperor's brothers, so he attaches great importance to his children. Whether they are princes or princesses, all concubines, as long as they are responsible for giving birth to princes and princesses, will be promoted in rank, and concubines will be greatly rewarded. Mother's house.
But only Meiren Chen's status remained unchanged until her death. Moreover, there were not many rewards for Chen Meiren’s mother’s family.
Until later, it is said that when the fifth prince was one year old, Queen Nangong said that no matter what, the fifth prince was of royal blood and a noble nobleman. If the maternal family did not have much respect, it would be difficult for the fifth prince to live in the future.
So the emperor promoted the uncle of the fifth prince from a seventh-grade county magistrate to a sixth-grade magistrate. It was a false position, but it was just a favor to transfer him to the capital.
Later, it was said that Chen Meiren died of depression.
However, now it is said that he was killed.
Ji Jun heard this and said thoughtfully,
"Does that mean that Concubine Han Def thought that Meiren Chen had cursed her and her son, so she felt resentful and took action to harm Meiren Chen?"
Ji Jun found it incomprehensible. If this was really the case, Concubine Han De could have reported Chen Meiren's crimes to the Queen and the Emperor and let them decide. They would certainly not let Chen Meiren off easily.
Why do you need to do this again, harming Meiren's life, and bring taint to yourself and your son once the matter is exposed?
Suddenly, Ji Junxiang remembered something and looked at Li Mi warily, saying,
"Don't tell me that Dali Temple wants to intervene and ask Ni'er to get a portrait? I'm telling you, it's just a matter of going to Dali Temple. In the palace, hey, whoever wants to go can go!"
Li Mi paused, a little embarrassed, nodded, then shook his head...
