You are my white, white moonlight

Chapter 175 The Master of Jinyi is a thousand years old
As for the gratitude to the siblings, Ji Cheng didn't take it seriously at all.

She is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but this matter happened to happen to her, so she naturally couldn't ignore it directly.

Anyway, it was a matter of convenience, and it just so happened that Yang Meng didn't look very pleasing to her.

"Gongxiyu, how long have you been with me?"

When walking towards Ji's mansion, Ji Cheng asked lightly.

"It's been more than a year since I reported back to your lord." Gong Xiyu replied.

Ji Cheng asked again: "Then how long have you been with my father?"

"...about three years."

"Hmm..." Ji Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "Then let me ask you, if my father is still here, between me and him, whose order do you listen to?"

Gong Xiyu was taken aback when he heard Ji Cheng's words: "This...why did your lord say that?"

"You didn't reply me immediately, it seems that you hesitated." Ji Cheng ignored Gong Xiyu's words and directly came to this result.

Gong Xiyu hastily explained: "It's not...my lord, this subordinate doesn't mean that..."

"It doesn't matter. After all, you have been in my father's house longer than I have. My father treats you well. It is not surprising that you have such a reaction." Ji Cheng said with a chuckle.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Ji Mansion.

"It's almost noon now, I guess the food has been prepared at home, why not eat together at home?" Ji Cheng looked at Gong Xiyu and suggested.

"This..." Gong Xiyu hesitated a little, "Would it be inappropriate? You are an adult, my subordinate..."

"What's wrong, it's just a meal." Ji Cheng waved his hand, "It just so happens that I have some important things to discuss with you."

She wasn't talking nonsense just now, she did have something to tell Gongxiyu.

This Gong Xiyu's character is actually pretty good, if he can win over... this person will definitely become his most capable subordinate!
But in the same way, this person is a person of temperament, and if he treats himself like this, let alone Ji Yuanchen, who has been the boss of the company for three years?
I vaguely remember that in the original book, Gongxi was finally persuaded by Ji Yuanchen and willingly became a chess piece under Ji Yuanchen's hands.

But now, Ji Cheng wants to turn this pawn into his own.

If she can't succeed...she will naturally be on guard, but she won't suffer.

"In that case, thank you sir."

Soon, Gong Xiyu followed Ji Cheng into Ji's mansion, and Ji Cheng directly took Gong Xiyu to his yard, and ordered people to prepare meals.

Because Ji Yuanchen's mourning period had just passed, the dishes were not too rich, but they were not too shabby either.

All the servants in the yard were dismissed by Ji Cheng, and now only Ji Cheng and Gong Xiyu were left in the yard.

"Don't be cautious, just eat."

Seeing that Gongxiyu refused to move his chopsticks for a long time, and his sitting posture was slightly stiff, Ji Cheng couldn't help but glanced at him and said.

"Yes, my lord." Gong Xiyu nodded, but it was just lip service, and he had to be cautious where he should be, "My lord, I don't know what is so important that it is going to be like this?"

"...Gong Xiyu, just now I asked you about the relationship between me and my father, and you hesitated." Ji Cheng replied somewhat irrelevantly, "Then I will ask you another question now—between my father and the current His Majesty, If you had to choose one, which one would you choose?"

This question was a bit sharp and heavy, and Gong Xiyu felt chills all over his body.

The body also became stiffer.

But he was only in a daze for two seconds, and then quickly said in a firm tone: "Naturally, it is His Majesty! Our Jin Yiwei is looking forward to the current Majesty and doing things for His Majesty!"

Hearing Gongxiyu's reply, Ji Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, well said."

She has thought that no matter what, she cannot compare to the three years between Ji Yuanchen and Gong Xiyu. Since there is no comparison between personal relationships, what about official affairs and private relationships?
Jin Yiwei was directly under the emperor's orders, and the meaning of Jin Yiwei's existence is to be the emperor!
Then, between the emperor of the country and Ji Yuanchen, which is more important, presumably, as long as Gong Xiyu is not a fool, he will not know how to choose.

"Well, although the cabinet bachelors are not from the royal family, who made our majesty's future queen come from the cabinet bachelor's house?"

Ji Cheng slowly thought about it.

"Rounding it up a bit, isn't this Cabinet Bachelor's Office equivalent to the current His Majesty?"

Therefore, Ji Cheng felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

"Okay, let's stop here for today and eat first. After eating, accompany me to the Imperial Academy in the afternoon." After Ji Cheng asked this question, she didn't say anything else. Pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Although Gong Xiyu was very puzzled as to why Ji Cheng asked these questions, he didn't say anything.

For these people, it is very important to be cautious in words and deeds. They also have some calculations in their minds about what to ask and what not to ask.

After lunch and a short rest, Ji Cheng picked out some things at the house, and then took Gong Xiyu to the Hanlin Academy.

"My lord, is it not good for us to go to the Hanlin Academy like this?"

Walking on the busy street, listening to the shouts of street vendors, Gong Xiyu said hesitantly.

"Are you afraid of scaring the snake?" Ji Cheng chuckled, and saw through Gongxiyu's thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, I'm going to visit friends, so naturally I won't scare the snake."

Otherwise, why did she go with a gift?

"Friends?" Gong Xi was even more confused in his heart. In more than a year, he had never heard of anyone who was familiar with the Imperial Academy.

Naturally, the original owner did not have any acquaintances with the Hanlin Academy, but there was someone who disliked him.

The man's surname was Li, his first name was Sui, and his style name was Wangshu. He had formed a relationship with the original owner in Jiangnan a year and a half ago, and Ji Cheng only recently discovered that Li Wangshu had come to the capital.

As for this Liangzi...it’s really nothing, but at that time the original owner was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case. On the way, Li Wangshu’s horse was frightened and ran into the market. Fan.

That Li Wangshu felt like a playboy, although he was born with a good skin, but his behavior and speech were very unrestrained, which made the original owner very unhappy.

Especially after the horse was frightened, Li Wangshu didn't think he was wrong at all, he just said that he was trying the horse, but the horse suddenly went crazy, and that's why he collided!
But the original owner felt that Li Wangshu was not good at riding and was not overestimating his abilities, so he rode a BMW alone on the street...

Anyway, the two formed a bond like this.
