Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang, he knew that Ji Xiaotang had made a choice.∮,
However, can Qi Younian understand Ji Xiaotang's choice, or can he accept it? Qi Younian is not really naive, but he still believes that he and Ji Xiaotang are still possible.
Ji Xiaotang is not naive either, but there may not be no hope.
Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang are not so easy to give up.
"Xiaotang..." Qin Zhen pondered for a while, but he still didn't say something. He just asked Ji Xiaotang, "Will Ayou understand?"
"He always understands Ayou." Ji Xiaotang said.
On this side, Manager Zhang went to the palace to report Ji Xiaotang's situation to Empress Dowager Han. Empress Dowager Han knew that Ji Xiaotang was pretending to be sick in order to delay time. Naturally, she would not reveal it. While beating Qi Younian, she sent the imperial physician in the palace to treat Ji Xiaotang.
When Manager Zhang brought the imperial physician to Xinhua Hall, Ji Xiaotang said that her condition had improved a lot.
"It's just in a hurry, without any preparation." Ji Xiaotang hoped to prepare and then enter the palace.
Manager Zhang received the instructions of Empress Dowager Han. Seeing Ji Xiaotang's attitude change, he was happy to go with the flow. After the imperial physician treated Ji Xiaotang, he said that Ji Xiaotang was not seriously injured. Manager Zhang said that Ji Xiaotang could stay at home for another night and enter the palace tomorrow.
"Actually, the county lord is too careful. There is everything in the palace, and there is no need to prepare anything." Manager Zhang said with a smile, "The county lord enters the palace, which is naturally different from those who choose female officials."
Ji Xiaotang smiled and asked Eunuch Zhang to thank Empress Han for her first.
Mr. Ji Er personally sent Manager Zhang and the Imperial Doctor away. When the two left, there was a large wallet on their sleeves, especially Manager Zhang's one.
Manager Zhang walked in front of Empress Dowager Han for many years and received countless red seals. However, even he was slightly moved by what was given out from Xinhua Hall.
Ji Xiaotang is about to enter the palace. Even if he only stays in the palace for a few days, he must handle all aspects.
It is difficult to make money to make a horse in the world. Master Ji Er is already generous and will not be stingy for his daughter to be more convenient in the future.
After seeing off Manager Zhang and the Imperial Doctor, Master Ji Er came back.
Old Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun rushed over when they heard the news. At this moment, they were sitting at Ji Xiaotang's bedside with Mrs. Ji. Old Mrs. Ji's eyes were red. Ji Xiaoyun was simply wiping her tears.
"Grandmother, sister, I'm really fine." Ji Xiaotang thought it was the Imperial Doctor, which made Old Lady Ji and Ji Xiaoyun misunderstand that she was seriously ill.
"We all know." Old Mrs. Ji sighed.
She and Ji Xiaoyun were sad because they knew that Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's marriage would not come true, and Ji Xiaotang would enter the palace tomorrow.
"A good marriage is 90% said, but it's just so ugly. That empress dowager is so great, so shameless. For her own daughter, she feels wronged. She doesn't know who to betroth Xiaotang to. If she wants to take revenge on Xiaotang and deliberately find a bad family for Xiaotang, what should I do... It's a pity that I can't see her. If I see her, I must tell her clearly!"
Ji Xiaotang felt uncomfortable at first, but after hearing Old Mrs. Ji say this, she almost laughed.
Old Mrs. Ji thought a lot, and it was very simple.
If it is really as simple as Old Mrs. Ji thought, it would be better.
"I'm worried about me again." Ji Xiaotang said softly.
"I'm just talking at home, but I can't help you any more." Old Mrs. Ji sighed deeply, "Xiaotang. If you use grandmother's place, just say that grandmother can do anything!"
Old Mrs. Ji's words are from the bottom of her heart.
Although he knew that she couldn't help, Ji Xiaotang still dared to move.
The matter of Ji Xiaotang entering the palace has become a foregone conclusion. Everyone will discuss what preparations to make for Ji Xiaotang entering the palace.
"No need to prepare anything. I asked Manager Zhang just now. The Empress Dowager allowed me to bring a few more people to serve. I took Madam Cheng, Jin'er, Xiu'er, Yao'er and Bi'er, and also brought some clothes and things to use for you. It was enough." Seeing that Mrs. Ji Er was busy, Ji Xiaotang seemed to be trying to bring all the things she thought into the palace, so he hurriedly stopped her.
Ji Xiaotang said this, but was afraid that Mrs. Ji would not refuse, so she specially called Madam Cheng to come.
"Madam, it's enough for me to bring these."
"Yes, we don't know anything about the palace. The nanny is familiar with the palace. If you want to bring something, the nanny will list it and I will prepare it myself." Mrs. Ji Er hurriedly said to Madam Cheng.
"...The county lord said almost all." Madam Cheng said, even though she was like this, she carefully made the list.
There were all the things Ji Xiaotang needed to enter the palace, and Jin'er and Xiu'er took them to prepare.
"Take more money," Mr. Ji Er added, "Take more money and bring more gold beans and gold leaves, without any burden. It is convenient to use it in the palace or store it everywhere."
Mrs. Ji nodded and agreed when she was busy, and hurriedly went to prepare.
"Your parents are enough, so I won't give it to you." Old Mrs. Ji also wanted to give some effort to Ji Xiaotang. "This time I went to Beijing and brought some calligraphy and paintings left by the old man. I don't understand either, but the old man said it was precious, so I'll keep it."
Old Mrs. Ji brought these things to Beijing, and was originally preparing to prepare for Mr. Ji Er.
Master Ji Er's official did a smooth job, and he didn't send out these calligraphy and paintings. Now she wants to give these calligraphy and paintings to Ji Xiaotang.
"Grandma, I don't need these when I enter the palace." Ji Xiaotang refused to ask.
Old Mrs. Ji was anxious.
Although she had no knowledge, she had known a little since she entered Beijing and knew that Ji Xiaotang had paid too much to maintain the peace of the Ji family. She really wanted to help.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Ji was anxious, Ji Xiaotang didn't dare to say anything he wouldn't accept.
"Thank you grandma, these are rare good things, and they will definitely be of great use." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
Only then did Old Mrs. Ji smile.
Everyone was busy preparing things for Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaoyun helped to pack up two clothes. Seeing that there was no one around Ji Xiaotang, she came over and sat next to Ji Xiaotang in a vain.
Ji Xiaotang could see that she had something to say.
"What's wrong with sister?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Xiaotang, I..." Ji Xiaoyun wanted to speak but stopped.
"Sister has something to say."
"I'm sorry for you." Ji Xiaoyun's face turned slightly red, and her eyes that had just cried were a little wet and moist again.
Ji Xiaotang was a little strange.
Ji Xiaoyun did something wrong to her again?
"It's like this.⊥," Ji Xiaoyun choked up.
At first, when she heard the news that Ji Xiaotang was going to get married with Qi Younian, although it was not sudden, Ji Xiaoyun still couldn't accept it. She thought of Xie Huaijin and felt that Ji Xiaotang was sorry for Xie Huaijin like this.
Although there was no engagement between Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin. Moreover, when the magistrate Xie gradually showed his strength, the Ji family had already lost the intention of marrying the Xie family.
"But, I always feel that Huai Jin is so pitiful. Xiaotang, if you don't care about him in the future, he will be even more pitiful..."
Ji Xiaoyun knew in her heart that there was no reason for her to blame Ji Xiaotang like this, but she still blamed Ji Xiaotang, or more so, for Xie Huaijin.
After hearing Ji Xiaoyun say this, Ji Xiaotang understands it.
When I heard the good news, only Ji Xiaoyun and Madam Cheng were not so happy. It turned out that Ji Xiaoyun was not happy here.
But now, the marriage between Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian has been broken up by Empress Dowager Han. Not only does Ji Xiaoyun no longer blame Ji Xiaotang, but she has become aggrieved for Ji Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang, I'm sorry for you, you won't blame me, right?" Ji Xiaoyun said with a sob.
Ji Xiaotang could only sigh.
She knew Ji Xiaoyun's personality, so how could she be so meaninglessly angry with her?
"No, I don't blame you." Ji Xiaotang told Ji Xiaoyun that not only did she not blame Ji Xiaoyun, but she was a little relieved. Ji Xiaoyun didn't like to say anything in her heart. She was fine in front of Old Mrs. Ji. She almost had nothing to say to her and Mrs. Ji Er.
Now, Ji Xiaoyun is willing to tell her if she says something like this, which means that Ji Xiaoyun has opened her heart to her and really treats her as a relative and a sister.
"I will go into the palace and rely on my sister for the family's affairs in the future." Ji Xiaotang took the opportunity to instruct Ji Xiaoyun, "In addition to accompanying my grandmother, we can also talk to our mother more. If you have any problems, tell us that you should not hold it in your own hands."
Ji Xiaoyun nodded.
"I know. But Xiaotang, you are not coming back."
Ji Xiaotang's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, my sister is right, it's not that I'm not coming back."
This time she entered the palace, she knew more than anyone else the risks she had to face.
Mr. Ji Er, Mrs. Ji Er, and even Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun were probably vaguely aware of it.
However, everyone avoided this point, as if this risk would not exist as long as it was not mentioned.
Of course Ji Xiaotang would not say anything.
No matter what, she will try hard to come back alive.
When he was holding the lights, Ji Xiaotang had a simple dinner and was talking to Mrs. Ji and Madam Cheng under the lights. Someone came outside to report that Qi Younian had arrived.
Qi Younian knew that Ji Xiaotang would enter the palace tomorrow, so he took the time to come from Jingci'an.
Master Ji Er came in with Qi Younian.
Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang and did not speak immediately, but his eyes could no longer move.
Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er sighed to each other, and they quietly went to the room next to them. Madam Cheng also waved her hands to Jin'er and Xiu'er, and the three of them retreated to the door of the house to serve.
"Ayou..." Ji Xiaotang stood up and stretched out his hand to Qi Younian.
Qi Younian came over and held Ji Xiaotang's hand.
"Xiaotang, everything is bad for me." Qi Younian did not blame Ji Xiaotang for Ji Xiaotang's decision to enter the palace, he only blamed him himself.
If he was strong enough, then Empress Dowager Han would not dare to treat him like this, and would not force Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace.
To be continued...
