Chapter 447 Visiting 2
Ji Xingle returned to the mansion and asked the guards to report the news to the palace.
Thinking of Ouyang Kai's father, Concubine Chang, who did not have so much freedom in the palace, Ji Xingle prepared some more fruits and snacks, and asked the servants to buy some folk picture books to entertain him.
After everything was ready, Ji Xingle brought the gifts prepared by Ouyang Kai into the palace.
When Ji Xingle arrived, the empress was reading memorials on the side, while Ouyang's father was embroidering. Tsk tsk tsk, if Ji Xingle hadn't known that this was the imperial palace, he would have almost thought that they were an old couple in love...
Gong Nan spoke at the right time;
"Master Ji is here."
Hearing this, the Queen and Concubine Chang put down what they were holding and looked up at Ji Xingle. Concubine Chang bowed to Ji Xingle, and Ji Xingle quickly helped him up.
"Father, you don't have to do this."
Concubine Chang glanced at the empress, and when she nodded, she smiled at Ji Xingle again;
"Okay, it's up to you."
With the Empress around, Concubine Chang did not dare to say anything to Ji Xingle even though she missed her son. She just sat aside and listened quietly to the Empress and Ji Xingle's conversation, smiling and nodding from time to time.
Seeing this, Ji Xingle asked Gong Nan to give him the gift she brought, and also asked Gong Nan to wash some fruits for him to eat.
"Father, this is what Brother Kai prepared for you. I was afraid that you would be bored in the palace, so I asked the servants to find some picture books to entertain you before I came."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang's eyes lit up;
"You are thoughtful..."
Ji Xingle said with a smile;
"As long as you like it."
The two were chatting animatedly, and the Queen looked at them and said "cough cough" twice, expressing her dissatisfaction;
"When can you send me some fruit?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows;
"If I remember correctly, the Third Princess also grows some fruit, right? If you want to eat some, why don't you ask her for some?"
The Queen played rogue.
"What you give me does not conflict with what she gives me! What I want is what you give me alone."
Seeing Ji Xingle's strange expression, the Queen thought that she was stingy and didn't want to give it, so she spoke again;
"What? Your father can eat the fruit you send him, but I am not worthy of you sending me one?"
Hearing this, Concubine Chang was like a frightened bird, and was about to kneel down, but Ji Xingle quickly grabbed his hand;
"Father, I'm just joking with the Queen Mother! Don't be nervous, relax."
Ji Xingle said this and winked at the empress. Seeing this, the empress felt a little annoyed. She forgot that the people in the palace were timid.
Then she raised the corners of her mouth as if nothing had happened, as if the person who had just spoken was not her.
Hearing this, Concubine Chang timidly glanced at the empress, and was relieved to see that she was really not angry;
"It was my misunderstanding, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
The Queen said with a smile under the threat of Ji Xingle's eyes;
"it's okay no problem."
Then he looked straight at Ji Xingle, meaning that he should quickly agree to send me some fruit alone.
Finally, Ji Xingle nodded helplessly. "Okay! Considering that she gave me gold, silver and jewelry before, I'll give it to her separately."
Seeing Ji Xingle nod, the empress smiled from ear to ear. Concubine Chang was confused and looked at Ji Xingle.
Ji Xingle said with a smile;
"Father, the Queen Mother is fine. Let's eat some fruit first."
"Okay." (^_^)
The Queen also realized that she was too happy, and she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment;
"Will you have dinner here later?"
"No, I have to meet up with Xia Ge and the others tonight."
Hearing this, the empress nodded and said nothing more. After a while, the empress winked at Concubine Chang. Concubine Chang knew that there were some words he could not listen to, so he found an excuse to go out.
After everyone left, the Queen asked Ji Xingle;
"I heard from the third brother that you were interested in donating money for road construction?"
"Huh? I didn't say that. I just said I would think about it..."
The queen choked, but refused to give up;
"So what do you think now?"
Ji Xingle waved his hands;
"Not very good."ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
The corners of the Queen's mouth twitched a few times, she took a deep breath and said patiently;
"Didn't you say before that building roads is a good thing for the country and the people? If you want to get rich, you have to build roads first..."
Ji Xingle did not answer, and even looked distressed and conflicted.
The Queen didn't want to let Ji Xingle, the big fat sheep, go, so she asked again;
"Do you have any concerns?"
"Hey..."
Ji Xingle sighed, seeming to want to say something but stopped talking.
This appearance made the queen very anxious;
"What are you worried about? Tell me now. I don't believe anything can make you so miserable. Tell me now and I will make the decision for you."
Hearing this, Ji Xingle's eyes flashed with a gleam, so fast that no one noticed;
"really?"
The queen made a "tsk" sound, somewhat impatient, but she did not dare to offend the big fat sheep, so she could only soften her voice;
"When did I break my promise? Tell me now."
"That's what I said!"
"Ah."
"Originally, I wanted to leave the money to my children so that they would have no worries about food and clothing in their lifetime..."
Before Ji Xingle finished speaking, the Queen's smile was forced;
"Just get to the point."
"I am thinking that if I contribute the most to the road construction, I hope that you can leave a handwritten note, saying that all the descendants of my Ji family, regardless of gender, will not be bound by marriage in the future and they can marry freely..."
Hearing this, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, but then rolled her eyes in her heart. What a joke, just for this matter? I was almost scared to death.
Then he wondered again;
"Didn't you write it in your article? I've also asked the History Department to record it! You can rest assured about this, although other places may not be implemented so quickly.
But your children are still young. When they grow up, these laws will surely be popularized throughout the country, so you don’t have to worry about these problems.”
Ji Xingle shook his head. Blue Star has laws and the Internet, and it is difficult for victims to divorce. In ancient times, information is slow. If we want to popularize the law,
If you want the law to recognize you, you must be rich and powerful. Although she has all of these, she still wants to pave the way for her children just in case.
"Mother Queen, it's not that I don't believe in the law, it's that I paid money, so I must get something in return, right? Otherwise, I will suffer a loss.
Besides, leaving your handwritten edict here is also a way for me to bring honor to my family. I want to take this thing back to show off to my mother and others!"
Ji Xingle paused and spoke with a slightly sad tone;
"Mother Queen, you wouldn't be so unwilling to help me with even this little thing, would you?"
The Queen thought about it and felt that this was indeed a trivial matter. Besides, if it was really as big a deal as she said, what would be the harm in writing a few more of these imperial edicts?
"Okay, you'll pay for the road construction, and I'll write the imperial edict for you."
"Then I would like to thank the Queen Mother first."
