Ji Xiaomu stood up first and listened with his hands down. Yang and the others were also busy standing up. After listening to Master Ji's words, "≤,

Master Ji nodded with relief and asked Ji Xiaomu and others to sit down.

"The old lady kept the filial piety sent by the old man and the big grandmother, and praised the old man and the big grandmother to the people who served around her." Aunt Xiao came up with the fruit and said pleasingly.

Master Ji half-closed his eyes and nodded.

Mrs. Ji glanced at Aunt Xiao.

Aunt Xiao suddenly had a sudden striking blow in her heart and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

The topic changed, and he talked about Ji Xiaolian's choice when she wanted to enter the palace. Now most of the beauties selected from various places have come to the capital and will soon be held for the primary election.

"Don't worry about the primary election, the most important thing is to come." Master Ji said.

Master Ji has decided to let Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaoqin enter the palace to run for the female official. For the primary election, only relying on Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaoqin's appearance and Xinhuatang's family background, it is safe to pass.

The competition is fierce, and it is at the end.

"Don't worry about re-election." Mrs. Ji then said that although the Yangge Mansion would also send Yang Pianpian and Yang Shanshan to the palace to choose, it would be no problem to protect Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaoqin from passing the re-election at the same time.

The most important thing is the final choice.

At that time, Empress Dowager Han, Emperor Longqing and Empress Han would be present, and they would finally choose the female official. If they had the same interests as the emperor and the empress, they would be granted the title on the spot.

Master Ji and Mrs. Ji were both full of hope for Ji Xiaolian's election.

"Xiaolian has met the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has a good impression of Xiaolian." Mrs. Ji said with a smile.

"Xiao Lian's qualifications are also excellent. Even Xiaoqin must work hard to pass the re-election. At the end of the election, even if he cannot be chosen in the palace and is in the eyes of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, he will be very decent and given a marriage."

This is Mr. Ji’s plan.

Aunt Xiao stood aside, although she was drooping her ears, but after listening to Master Ji's words, she still couldn't hide her excitement.

Ji Xiaoqin sat at the bottom, but lowered her head.

Master Ji frowned slightly when he saw Ji Xiaoqin like this at first sight. Ji Xiaoqin's appearance is good, but he is too timid and timid.

Speaking of alternatives to entering the palace, everyone will inevitably think of Ji Xiaotang again.

"I wonder how the Queen Mother and Your Majesty arrange it?" Mrs. Ji said.

"Prince An has entered the palace and asked the Empress Dowager for the marriage." Master Ji said calmly.

Mrs. Ji and everyone present were shocked. They didn't know the news yet.

"If this is really the case, did the Empress Dowager agree?" Mrs. Ji asked.

"There is indeed such a matter, and the Empress Dowager has not agreed. Prince Su is afraid that there will be some movement soon." Master Ji touched his beard, which was quite impressive.

Ji Xiaolian has already told him about Ji Xiaotang’s affairs in Prince Su’s mansion today.

It has to be said that Master Ji's judgment was accurate, but his news was one step slower. However, he could not compare with Qin Zhen. It was already well-informed to know that Qin Zhen entered the palace to seek orders.

Mrs. Ji seemed to be savoring the news, but after a while, Ji Xiaolian almost tore up the silk handkerchief in her hand.

"I think this is not a good thing. Xiaotang climbed too high and accidentally fell down, it was not fun." Ji Xiaolian couldn't help but speak. If she changed her tone and changed her words, it might be worrying and concerned.

However, in Ji Xiaolian, there was no such problem at all. She was jealous and wanted Ji Xiaotang to fall down as she said. It was a bad thing.

Master Ji did not seem to notice Ji Xiaolian's jealousy, but nodded instead.

"The family has a female family and a hundred families. ⊥, Xiaotang is indeed outstanding and has the status of a county lord. But the people who asked for it are usually fine, but they are these two. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster." Master Ji raised his hand and touched his beard again. "It would be fine if King Su knew that King An asked for an order, so it would be fine if he gave up. If King Su also went to ask for orders..."

Master Ji paused. Although he did not continue to speak, it was not difficult to guess what he meant from his expression and tone.

If King Su also went to ask for an imperial edict, it would be a disaster, not a blessing for Ji Xiaotang.

"Father, how do you say this?" Ji Xiaomu and Ji Xiaolian asked almost at the same time. Both brother and sister were very anxious, but their moods were very different.

"No matter how good Xiaotang is, to the royal family, she is just a woman. How can a brother-in-law be defeated by a woman's competition?" Master Ji slowly said his inference, "Even if the Empress Dowager wanted Xiaotang to enter the palace, she could not refuse Xiaotang, and would not give Xiaotang to King An or King Su."

"Will Xiaotang be granted marriage to others? Then does Xuan Rang have another chance?" Yang rarely spoke in front of Master Ji, but at this time he couldn't help but ask.

Yang likes Ji Xiaotang and is very excited about the prospect of Ji Xiaotang being able to marry Yang Xuanrang.

Master Ji shook his head slowly, his eyes swept over Ji Xiaomu, Yang and Ji Xiaolian, and naturally looked at the expressions of the three of them. Master Ji was not satisfied with the reactions of the three of them.

In his opinion, these three children were a little slow and lacked the keenness needed to be an official in the court. Yang and Ji Xiaolian were nothing but, but lacking this was fatal to Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaomu is confusing and good at studying, but for being an official...

Master Ji sighed secretly, but still gave an explanation.

"What kind of people are both King An and King Su? Who has seen these two princes be so persistent about who and what things are like? No matter what kind of family Xiaotang marrys into, that family even has a grudge against King An and King Su..."

If you go further down, Master Ji didn't say anything.

"How could this be!" Ji Xiaomu and Yang were both surprised and sad.

"I guessed it!" Ji Xiaolian looked excited, "Will Xiaotang become a monk in the end? Sure, otherwise, keeping her will also be a threat to our family. Who knows if the two princes will take their anger on Xinhuatang?"

Mrs. Ji raised her eyelids and gave Ji Xiaolian a warning look.

Ji Xiaolian stopped talking, but the happy expression on her face did not change at all.

"Father, there should be room for maneuver in this matter now." Ji Xiaomu asked Master Ji.

Master Ji did not directly answer Ji Xiaomu's words.

"I will remind your second uncle to discuss this matter with him." This is to answer Ji Xiaomu's question. Master Ji still didn't say something.

In fact, he agreed with Ji Xiaolian's statement. Master Ji believed that Ji Xiaotang's popularity was too high and would be very unfavorable to Xinhuatang in the end. Although, with Ji Xiaotang's appearance and talent, there would always be scholarly families who didn't care so much about their careers and would be willing to marry her, but the best ending for Xinhuatang was that Ji Xiaotang became a monk and a nun.

Only in this way can the anger of King An and King Su be completely eliminated so that they will not take their anger on Xinhua Hall.

It is best to do this when things are not revealed until the end, which will be more beneficial to Xinhuatang.

Of course, Master Ji didn't say anything, or he didn't realize it at all. The reason why he thought so was related to Master Yang's analysis and Qi Da.

The next day, Master Ji learned that King Su had also entered the palace to seek imperial edicts, and immediately became anxious and invited Master Ji Er to go to the study to discuss.

Although the two brothers had not met for many years, they had constant letters and exchanged letters. After reunited in the capital, the two were extremely harmonious and had almost no differences.

At least there is no need to put it on the surface.

However, this time, the discussion between Master Ji and Master Ji Er ended up in disagreement.

When Master Ji Er was in the study, Master Ji could still maintain his superficial calmness and demeanor, but when Master Ji Er left, Master Ji could no longer help and even dropped the Duanyang he liked on the desk.

"It's outrageous! He is so selfish and does not consider the family at all! Do he still think I am his brother? Do he have any nephews in his heart?"

When Master Ji returned to Qianhua Hall, ∮, his anger was still not gone.

Mrs. Ji naturally had to come forward to inquire.

Master Ji told Mrs. Ji that he warned Ji Xiaotang about the dangers of the matter and instructed Master Ji Er to do what to do. His words were already very tactful, but Master Ji Er, who has always been calm, responded fiercely.

Master Ji Er told Master Ji that things were not as desperate as Master Ji thought, and even if things really went in the direction Master Ji thought, he would not treat Ji Xiaotang like that.

"He told me, his brother, that I would never have this idea again! Who am I for? I am not for our Ji family! For Xiaotang, he ignored the overall situation of the Ji family and the future of our father and son for the sake of Xiaotang!"

Master Ji was a little excited and analyzed it to Mrs. Ji.

"He is naturally not afraid. He only has one immortality, which is a little older. He has a good idea. Whenever the immortality can enter the officialdom, this matter will fade and will not have any impact on immortality. However, Xiaomu and Xiaoxue can't wait!"

Master Ji believes that Master Ji Er has considered all these and is selfish and does not care about his career or life or death in this room.

"I misread him, I misread him!" Master Ji said repeatedly.

Mrs. Ji naturally tried her best to comfort Mr. Ji, but there was no explanation for Mr. Ji Er.

"When things come to an end, the second master will not be allowed to do so. After all, the master is the eldest brother, so he should take out his identity as the eldest brother. If he doesn't believe it, he will not agree. Moreover, he is in the capital, unlike Qingyuan, and his father and aunt, he will not stand by and watch."

Neither of them mentioned Mrs. Ji, as if they were sure that when the two brothers clashed, Mrs. Ji would never come forward to speak.

After Mrs. Ji's persuasion, Mr. Ji slowly calmed down.

What they have to do now is not to let Ji Xiaotang influence Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaoqin to enter the palace.

At the end of March, war reports came from Shuzhong. Qi Younian's army had already defeated Shuzhong, and most of the rebels were killed. Qi Younian arranged the matters in Shuzhong and escorted the rebel prisoners, and was on his way back to Beijing.

Once the battle report was announced in the court, the court, including the entire capital, was almost boiling.

Qi Younian really completed the impossible task and pacified Shuzhong within three months.

Ji Xiaotang naturally heard the news and was secretly happy.

And the next day, Ji Xiaotang received an unexpected guest in Yanhua Hall.

The guest did not walk through the gate of Xinhua Hall, but went directly to the east back corner gate and asked to see Ji Xiaotang.

The in charge came to report to Ji Xiaotang, saying that the visitor was a young woman dressed in luxurious clothes and looked like she was not an ordinary person. However, the woman did not specify her identity.

"It was the adult who accompanied him who showed his waist card."

Because the most commonly used person in the East Road courtyard is Dongjiao Gate. So Ji Xiaotang arranged capable managers and servants at Dongjiao Gate, and these managers and servants can recognize their words.

The manager told Ji Xiaotang that the adult who accompanied the woman showed the waist card of the palace guards.

"What does that lord look like?" Ji Xiaotang asked immediately, and he had already guessed the identity of the visitor in his heart.

"That adult is so decent." In the manager's narration, the man who accompanied him was in his early thirties and was tall and handsome. He was a pampered and beautiful man.
