Chapter 227 The vicious female supporting role vs. the childless emperor 71
Ji Yunhuan learned that Long Haochang was dead and decided to hold a three-day banquet to celebrate.
Long Haochang grew from an orphan in a poor valley to a prince step by step. Countless noble people helped him along the way. All the chances, coincidences, and good luck happened to him.
The Wang family was his first springboard, and Wang Xiuping was a chess piece that he threw away after using it.
The King of Jin used all the strength of Jinzhou to help him ascend the throne, even at the expense of his wife and children.
In the capital, the noble ladies regarded him as a god, the ministers praised him profusely, and the emperor fell in love with him at a glance, while other clan members were reduced to mere foils.
Now, these people all despise him, and some even hate him to the core. He has lost all support, and even God can't save him.
Long Haochang is dead!
Very popular!
Xia Mengyao was the first to arrive and brought Mo Niang with her. When she saw Ji Yunhuan, she didn't have a good face, she curled her lips and went in.
Mo Niang saluted Ji Yunhuan, her movements a little jerky. She was just a horse breeder and rarely went out to socialize. She didn't expect that the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion would specially post a message to invite her to visit.
"Don't be surprised, Miss Ji. My lady claims she is unrivaled in polo, but you beat her, but she is not convinced. She has been practicing hard at home for a long time, thinking that she can win back today..."
Xia Mengyao turned around and glared at Mo Niang, saying dissatisfiedly: "Mo Niang, where are you from? Today you are on my team, I don't believe you can't beat her, huh!"
Mo Niang quickly followed and said with a fond smile: "Okay, okay, Mo Niang will definitely help you win."
Zhong Shiya also came with a group of noble ladies, all of whom were daughters of military commanders. The group of people were chattering, and they were very happy to be guests of the Prime Minister's house.
Wang Xiuping was also there, helping Ji Yunhuan organize the banquet.
She wore a bright dress, her face was painted with makeup, her figure was dignified, her steps were light, and she spoke softly, but she was very convincing.
She walked among the maids and arranged everything in order.
"Miss Ji, lunch has been prepared, and you also added your favorite grilled fish and barbecue. The girls can also grill it themselves. Do you think this is okay?"
Ji Yunhuan was extremely satisfied. Taohong was still a little younger. She had never held a banquet before. Taohong lacked experience and was in a panic. Fortunately, Wang Xiuping helped her.
"Sister Xiuping is so capable and beautiful. It would be great if she could stay in the capital."
Wang Xiuping smiled, "Thank you for your love, Miss, but I have made up my mind. I want to go back to Pingshan County. That is my home."
"The magistrate of Pingshan County was arrested. The new magistrate is a good official. He has retried many unjust, false and wrong cases. My father did not collude with the bandits. The Wang family was wronged. The new magistrate made the decision, and part of the Wang family's property has been returned. .”
"I am the last bloodline of the Wang family. I want to hold up the lintel of the Wang family. As long as I am here, the Wang family in Pingshan County will still be there!"
Ji Yunhuan knew that this matter was difficult. Although there was a law in this dynasty to establish a female household, it was very difficult to implement it in practice.
"Sister Xiuping has a tenacious temperament. Huan'er believes that you can do it. Wait until you recover your health before setting off. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just send a letter to the capital and don't carry everything alone."
Wang Xiuping nodded in agreement, Miss Ji helped her a lot, she remembered it all and was grateful.
The banquet has begun, and Linlang Garden is full of laughter and laughter. There are no rules and etiquette here, and there is no need to recite poems or compose poems. It is just a matter of happiness.
A chivalrous lady in red descended from the sky, holding a sword and wearing a velvet flower on her head. She had a cold and handsome temperament and an elegant figure.
The girls screamed excitedly, and Xia Mengyao screamed the loudest. She thought it was some kind of entertainment show, so she drew her soft sword and rushed forward.
Mei Lingshuang was not interested in this trick and didn't even pull out the sword. She removed Xia Mengyao's soft sword with one move, picked him up and threw him back.
Xia Mengyao was still out of breath, her cheeks were red, and she kept chattering around Mei Lingshuang.
Mei Lingshuang raised her hand, and a sharp breath spread out. Xia Mengyao took two steps back, and then stabilized her figure with Mo Niang's help.
Mei Lingshuang took out a pair of jade bracelets from her arms, stuffed them into Ji Yunhuan's hands, and said concisely: "This is for you."
Ji Yunhuan was not polite and put it on immediately. The green bracelet was crystal clear and really beautiful.
"Thank you, Sister Mei. I like it very much. I sent someone to Yuelaiju to deliver the message. I thought you had left the capital and would not come. Now that you are here, let's go play polo together."
Mei Lingshuang was not interested in the little girl playing polo like a housewife, but martial arts competitions were what she liked.
"No, I'm leaving Beijing now."
As she said she was leaving, Mei Lingshuang's eyes scanned the entire Linlang Garden. She had already searched many places, but she still didn't see Ji Yun'an.
Mei Lingshuang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She had misunderstood. The security of men and women in the capital was still very strict. With so many women today, Ji Yun'an would not stay in her sister's yard.
Qiaoyue took out a wooden box, which contained a gift prepared by Ji Yunhuan for Sister Mei.
Ji Yunhuan handed the baggage to Sister Mei and whispered in her ear: "My second brother was sent by the emperor to Jinzhou to quell the chaos. There were a hundred thousand troops there. On the surface, the reduction of the vassal was successful, but the follow-up is the most important thing. It’s difficult, but unfortunately my family is all civil servants, so I can’t help much.”
Mei Lingshuang showed a worried look as expected, took the wooden box and left in a hurry.
After Mei Lingshuang left, the girls were still very excited.
Xia Mengyao shamelessly pestered Ji Yunhuan, insisting that Ji Yunhuan talk more about the heroine just now.
How come Ji Yunhuan can know such a powerful martial arts master, why can't she meet him?
There was a big commotion in Linlangyuan, Zhuo Wei just came to take a look, and she felt relieved when she saw that her daughter had managed the banquet in a decent manner, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
She went to the study room in the front yard, took Prime Minister Ji with her and sighed: "Our daughter has really grown up and can be the head of the family!"
"In the past, she couldn't get along with anyone. How could she have so many good friends? In a girl's family, you still need to have some handkerchiefs to gain a foothold in the capital. People's words are scary. Whoever talks about and slanders her in the future will always Someone can speak for her."
Prime Minister Ji was busy writing and said casually: "Don't worry, with the truth, no one dares to bully Huan'er."
Zhuo Wei took away Prime Minister Ji's pen and said disgustedly: "You know nothing! You know how to play off your prime minister's prestige. No one dares to scold you, but they are so good at scolding a woman in the boudoir!"
"Catching wind and shadow, making something out of nothing. One or two ambiguous words can ruin a woman's reputation. I have seen it many times. Huan'er has a good temper and doesn't care. If he met that thin-skinned person, he would have committed suicide long ago."
Prime Minister Ji touched the ink on his hand and said helplessly: "Madam, I was wrong. Please return the pen to me quickly. I have to write the memorial quickly. Your Majesty is still waiting to read it."
Zhuo Wei snorted, dissatisfied, and unconsciously began to grind ink for her husband.
"There are so many people in the whole dynasty, but you are the only one who can do it! There are many dangerous things to do to reduce the vassal state. Jinzhou is a special case. It is not so easy in other places."
"The vassal king has many connections with relatives and dignitaries in the capital, and the whole body is affected by the influence. I don't know how many people are trying to find fault with you behind your back. The emperor just pushed you out to work for your life, but he doesn't know how to be more considerate and take a holiday." Still urging you, the cattle plowing the fields will have to rest for a few days.”
Prime Minister Ji knew that Madam was worried about him, so he didn't dare to reply and listened silently.
The housekeeper suddenly broke in and said anxiously: "My lord and madam, Eunuch Wei from the palace is here again! He also brought an imperial edict. Let's get ready to receive the edict!"
