Chapter 330 The Empress, the Hostage from the Neighboring Country Has Returned in Battle (Part 14)
Jiang He overheard their conversation.
This season, Yu-An really doesn't miss the chance to test the waters.
However, it was clear that the Second Princess did not understand Ji Yu'an's implied meaning.
The two have been together for so long, it's time for things to come to a conclusion.
It seems we need to add fuel to the fire for the Second Princess.
I wonder what the Second Princess and Ji Yu'an will choose in the end.
Jiang He was very satisfied with Yan Qin and expressed his willingness to marry her.
Let Yan Qin be her rightful husband.
Yan Qin's family background and temperament are both suitable for the position of the rightful ruler.
Jiang He sent Yan Qin back, and then went to the palace to ask her mother, the Empress, for permission to bestow Yan Qin upon her as the Empress Dowager.
Yan Qin was overjoyed and waited at home for the imperial edict.
He finally became the eldest princess's man.
He is still the rightful ruler.
Moreover, the eldest princess also requested an imperial decree to grant the emperor a marriage.
This was a tremendous affirmation and honor for him.
After entering the palace, Jiang He not only petitioned the emperor to grant her a marriage.
This also allows the Empress to consider the marriage of the Second Princess.
The Second Princess and Ji Yu'an have been together for some time now.
Ji Yu'an should be given a proper title.
Didn't the Kingdom of Vientiane want to take Ji Yu'an back?
Let's see if Ji Yu'an wants to go back to be the fourth prince, or if he wants to stay here and marry the second princess.
The Empress summoned her two daughters to the palace.
The Second Princess was still having dinner with Ji Yu'an.
The steward rushed over to find the Second Princess, saying that the Empress had summoned her urgently.
The Empress urgently summoned the two princesses, who were required to enter the palace immediately.
The second princess had just entered the palace that morning, and her mother, the Empress, hadn't said anything to her at the time. Why was she suddenly summoned so urgently?
However, the housekeeper couldn't get any answers from them either.
The second princess was ordered to enter the palace immediately.
The second princess could only apologize to Ji Yu'an.
She had to go to the palace first to check on the situation and couldn't finish the meal with Ji Yu'an.
Ji Yu'an suggested that the Empress's urgent summons might indicate an emergency in the palace.
It is important for the second princess to enter the palace first.
He's almost finished his meal; he can go home by himself later.
The second princess hurriedly took the gift for Ji Yu'an from the carriage.
It was a jade ruyi.
This gift is really not suitable as a birthday present for Ji Yu'an.
It has no special features whatsoever, and it fails to express any special regard for Ji Yu'an.
However, the Second Princess really couldn't find any other suitable gifts to give.
Ji Yu'an saw a large gift box and couldn't guess what was inside.
Does Jin Yu Ge have such large items available recently?
Ji Yu'an weighed the gift box in his hand; it was quite heavy.
It doesn't look like a simple jade pendant or a jade hairpin.
Ji Yu'an accepted the gift box and watched the second princess leave.
Ji Yu'an carried the gift box back into the private room.
Ji Yu'an walked through the lobby with his head held high and chest out, and went up to the second floor.
He wanted everyone to know that the Second Princess had left early because of an urgent matter.
It wasn't for any other reason that I abandoned him.
Moreover, the Second Princess prepared such a large gift for him.
This clearly shows how much the Second Princess valued him.
Ji Yu'an returned to the private room, leaving the servant outside.
He opened the gift box by himself.
Because he didn't know what was inside, Ji Yu'an didn't know whether taking it out would make him look good or make him look bad.
It's better to open it and look at it by yourself.
If it's a long face, then of course you can take it out and show it off properly.
The gift box was opened, and inside lay a jade ruyi (a type of scepter).
Jade Ruyi?
Ji Yu'an was dumbfounded when he saw the gift.
What does the Second Princess mean by giving him a jade ruyi?
Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one?
This gift is hardly anything special.
This jade ruyi is too common.
Even if this jade ruyi looks to be of decent quality.
But this is nothing special.
It's more like something you just grabbed to appease someone, something you took without thinking.
Moreover, this jade ruyi can only be displayed at home and cannot be worn outside.
What's the point of a gift if you can't wear it out in front of others?
Ji Yu'an was very dissatisfied with the gift.
What Ji Yu'an really wanted was the jade hairpin.
Moreover, Ji Yu'an gave the Second Princess a hint.
He has been using a simple hairband to tie his hair up lately because he doesn't have a presentable jade hairpin.
He thought the second princess would understand what he meant.
After all, the Second Princess had made several trips to the Golden Jade Pavilion.
He just didn't want to know beforehand; he wanted to keep it a surprise and see if they were on the same wavelength.
He did inquire about it.
The jade hairpin he had his eye on had already been bought by someone else.
Unexpectedly, the jade hairpin wasn't bought by the Second Princess.
Ji Yu'an put the jade ruyi back into the gift box and repackaged the gift.
Let's just pretend he never opened it.
Ji Yu'an glanced at the unfinished dishes on the table.
It was just him and the Second Princess, and the two of them were drinking the whole time, so the two signature dishes were basically untouched.
As for the longevity noodles, I only ate a few bites when they were first served.
Call the servant in and have him pack up the remaining dishes and take them back.
I don't know what's going on with the Second Princess.
I don't know if we'll have dinner yet.
The servant was already very skilled at this.
When the Second Princess and Ji Yu'an usually go out to eat, the servants would suggest packing up the leftovers.
Of course, it was under the pretext of taking it back to eat myself.
Sometimes, if the second princess saw that there wasn't much food left, she would order another portion for him to take home.
The servant called the waiter and said that his master's dishes were barely touched, and he wanted to take them home to eat, so he asked the waiter to pack them up for him.
The waiter was somewhat familiar with the servant.
This servant often packs up his master's food.
The waiter quickly packed up the remaining food.
Ji Yu'an and his servant were about to leave.
But the shopkeeper stopped them.
We haven't paid the bill for today's meal yet.
"Didn't you pay the bill? Second Princess, didn't you pay the bill?"
"The Second Princess left in a hurry and didn't have time to settle the bill. Young Master Ji, here's two hundred taels of silver. I'm just a small business, so please understand."
This isn't a matter of being understanding or not; the problem is that Ji Yu'an didn't bring any money with him today.
The Second Princess did indeed leave in a great hurry, and the steward kept urging him, so he neglected to settle the bill.
"Young Master Ji, it's only two hundred taels of silver, surely you can afford it?"
"Is our young master Ji trying to dine and dash?"
“Young Master Ji, how about I pay these two hundred taels for you, as long as you kneel down, kowtow three times, and call me father?”
Some people who didn't get along with Ji Yu'an started mocking him again after the Second Princess left.
It's laughable that Ji Yu'an can't even come up with two hundred taels of silver.
If you can't afford it, then don't come here.
He clings to the Second Princess all day long, hoping she will provide him with food and drink.
This person is utterly shameless.
Ji Yu'an was so angry that his face turned pale.
He remembered those ugly faces vividly.
He was determined to conquer Fengming Kingdom and repay all the humiliations he had suffered.
