Chapter 408: War of words?
The Queen digested what Huangfu Xinyue said, not caring about the mood of the father and son.
Thinking of their previous purpose of approaching Ji Xingle, those grains, those profitable porcelain techniques...
After a long time, the Queen said calmly;
"Tell me when she comes tomorrow. I'm leaving now..."
The father and son breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and Yue'e's father said in disbelief;
"Does your mother agree?"
Huangfu Xinyue looked solemn and shook her head;
"I feel a little bit worried..."
Seeing Yue'e's father's puzzled look, Huangfu Xinyue told him everything the Queen had asked him to do before.
Hearing this, Yue'e's father covered his mouth with tears streaming down his face, looking at Huangfu Xinyue with great guilt;
"Brother Yue, my poor child, your father is so sorry for you!"
"It's all in the past. Since I met her, everything has gone much more smoothly. Royal Father, please don't be sad..."
"Your mother is too cruel. You are a boy! She is so cruel that she lets you go into the wolf's den alone, without caring about your life or death..."
Huangfu Xinyue hugged Yue'e's father without saying a word, letting him vent his emotions quietly.
---
As soon as the empress returned to the imperial study, she immediately asked the secret guards to deliver letters to the ministers, asking them to make sure to skin Ji Xingle the next day.
The ministers who received the Queen's letter were extremely excited that night.
This is a big fish! A big fish that comes to your doorstep must be killed. The Taifu and his men had different thoughts and were worried about Ji Xingle.
The next day, before dawn, Ji Xingle kissed several of his husbands, came out of the room refreshed, and turned around and returned to Shuifan State.
Coming out of the room, Ji Xingle put out several sets of beautiful jewelry, as well as kiwis, black and red cherries, apples, watermelons, mangosteens, durians, sugar apples, strawberries, cantaloupes and other fruits in small boxes.
After breakfast, seeing that they were about to leave the court, he asked his attendants to put all the things on the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace...
After about an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the palace. Ji Xingle got off the carriage and handed the token given by Huangfu Xinyue to the guard.
The guard took one look at the token and knew who Ji Xingle was. His attitude changed instantly and he said in an impatient tone;
"The carriage cannot enter..."
Ji Xingle nodded. She knew this. Even if he was going to do something more chaotic, he would not drive a carriage in broad daylight.
"Could you please ask a few sisters to carry the things?"
Without waiting for her to refuse, Ji Xingle took out a small bag of silver and put it in her hand, blinking his eyes, signaling her to accept it.
The guard glanced around, slid the purse into his sleeve with a "whoosh", then opened his eyes and lied coldly;
"Okay! Since you are so weak, our Shuifan Kingdom is also a hospitable country..."
As he said this, he waved his hand behind him and several guards came over immediately;
"Big Head, what's going on?"
"Help this lady who has come from afar to move some things..."
Hearing this, several people turned their eyes to Ji Xingle. Ji Xingle smiled and nodded at them, and asked his followers to take them to move the things on the carriage.
The guards looked at these small boxes curiously. What treasures were they?
Ji Xingle smiled at them and said;
"You have to be careful. The things inside are very fragile and priceless. If one is broken, I won't be able to pay for it even if I sell you..."
Hearing this, several people shuddered with fear and almost dropped the boxes in their hands.
"be careful!"
Ji Xingle kindly reminded again.
The guards said tremblingly;
"Yes Yes..."
When they were halfway there, they saw Huangfu Xinyue coming hurriedly from the front.
"Master Ji, you are here..."
With so many people around, Ji Xingle couldn't go forward to help, so he could only say;
"Slow down, why are you walking so fast?"
"I was so happy last night that I overslept. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find me when you came, so I walked faster..."
After Huangfu Xinyue adjusted her breath, Ji Xingle said slowly;
"Don't worry, next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't be so anxious, I have a mouth, I will ask if there is anything.
Besides, we are already in your territory, how could we not find your people?"
Huangfu Xinyue said naively;
"I am too concerned and confused..."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Huangfu Xinyue blushed and said awkwardly;
"Not yet..."
Ji Xingle glanced at him, smiled and shook his head;
"Let's go! We can walk faster now, let's go back and eat something first..."
"I'm not hungry, I'll be with you..."Gurgle Gurgle"
Huangfu Xinyue's stomach started to growl before she finished her words. Her originally slightly red face suddenly turned redder, and she glanced around in embarrassment...
Seeing this, Ji Xingle smiled secretly and pretended not to hear the embarrassing sound.
Huangfu Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Xingle didn't say anything.
After walking for another ten minutes, they finally reached their destination. In the imperial study, Yue'e's father was furious when he saw the scene inside, but he dared not say anything.
Seeing this, the Queen glared at him and whispered a threat;
"You'd better be good and don't make trouble, otherwise I can give you everything I have now, and I can also take it back.
Is a son more important, or a daughter? Think about it carefully..."
Yue'e's father clenched his fists and said with a smile;
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I just think this is a little impolite. After all, it is Brother Yue who is getting married, right?
You have invited civil and military officials to gather here. If someone doesn't know, they might think that we, the Shui Fan Kingdom, are bullying others!"
Hearing this, the Queen snorted;
"Madam, it's none of your business what I should do..."
Yue'e's father was afraid that doing so would make Ji Xingle unhappy and affect Huangfu Xinyue's marriage, so he was unwilling to do so;
"Your Majesty, when you do this, don't you think about Brother Yue? He is already past the age of marriage.
Now that you finally have someone you like to marry, you..."
"That's enough. If you say another word, get out of here."
Father Yue pursed his lips, raised his head and took a deep breath, fearing that tears would fall;
"It is my fault, Your Majesty, please don't be angry..."
Hearing this, the queen snorted coldly and ignored Yue E's father. Instead, she discussed with the officials how to trick Ji Xingle later.
Just as they were discussing heatedly, Ji Xingle arrived. As soon as he arrived at the imperial study, he simply bowed to the empress and Yue'e's father.
Without waiting for the Queen to speak, he raised his head on his own.
When the prime minister's people saw Ji Xingle's arrogant look, they were furious and immediately said in a sarcastic tone:
"Hey! Is this Master Ji Xingle who wants to marry the fifteenth prince of our Shuifan Kingdom?
I have heard of your great name for a long time! Today I see that you are indeed extraordinary! "
Everyone said something, saying that Ji Xingle was impolite, had lost the traditional style, etc.... One hat after another was put on Ji Xingle's head.
Ji Xingle waited for them to finish speaking with a smile on his face. When he inadvertently cast his eyes towards the Taifu and the others, he saw that they were listening to what their colleagues said and rolling their eyes to express their disapproval. He almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yue'e's father was very satisfied with Ji Xingle at first sight. His appearance and other aspects were all what he liked. When he saw her being verbally attacked by officials,
He was so angry that he opened his mouth and wanted to tell them to shut up. Ji Xingle noticed his intention and quickly stopped him with a look.
Yue'e's father didn't understand why, but he still did as he was told and shut his mouth obediently.
