Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Ji Chuhe looked at You'er's clear eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What she least wanted was for You'er to remember things from her past life.

In this life, she just wants him to live a carefree life.

“You little brat! Just grow up. You don’t need to protect your mother. I, your father, am here for you.” Xiao Yan’an strode over, picked up You’er, turned her around easily, and put her on his neck.

next moment.

"Xiao Yuanyou, have you gained weight again?"

You'er was a little embarrassed, her face flushed slightly, "Then You'er won't eat milk cakes at night anymore."

"No, eat. Eat as much as you want. Father has plenty of strength."

Ji Chuhe was amused by the father and son.

Xiao Yan'an played with You'er for a while, then had someone take You'er away.

"Prince, have some tea." Ji Chuhe handed over a cup of tea.

Xiao Yanan sat opposite Ji Chuhe and took the cup of tea.

"The situation in Yancheng is under control. Among the 100,000 troops stationed in Yancheng alone, nearly 10,000 do not meet the conscription requirements. The emperor followed my father's advice and expelled all these people. However, the emperor was worried that there would be chaos in Yancheng, so he ordered my father to guard Yancheng for the time being. The emperor also ordered that the military command will be withdrawn after the situation stabilizes and the generals are reappointed." Xiao Yan'an told Ji Chuhe about the situation in the court.

"Sir, I just received a letter. Princess Ning Xi invited me to attend a banquet."

"Princess Ning Xi? Hasn't she always been very low-key? I've never heard of her hosting any banquets."

Princess Ning Xi is the daughter of Prince Lan. Back then, Prince Lan, like the late emperor, was not very favored and was given fiefdoms early on. However, Prince Lan's mother had a higher status, was given fiefdoms, and was relatively wealthy.

Later, civil strife broke out in Daxia. Although Prince Lan had no intention of fighting for the throne, he was forced to get involved in the fight. He knew very well that he had no chance of winning the throne, but as he had royal blood flowing in his veins, he could not stay out of it, so he surrendered to the late emperor early.

He also followed the late emperor into the imperial capital, but was accidentally killed by King Ping.

Princess Lan was pregnant at the time. She was devastated by the sad news and had been in poor health. Later, after giving birth to Princess Ning Xi, she also passed away.

Princess Ning Xi was the only living descendant of Prince Lan. The Emperor could not bear to see such a young girl grow up in her fiefdom, so he issued an order to bring Princess Ning Xi back to the imperial capital to raise her. In addition, Prince Lan's fiefdom was retained, and all affairs within the fiefdom were taken over by Princess Ning Xi.

In other words, Princess Ning Xi became the first princess in Daxia to have a fiefdom.

However, her fiefdom could not be inherited. Once she died, the fiefdom would return to the royal family.

Princess Ning Xi has always been in the imperial capital and has never been to her own fiefdom.

The fiefdom is managed by people appointed by the late emperor, who report the situation to Princess Ning Xi every year.

King Lan's fiefdom is located at the border of Xizhou. The main city is Lancheng, and there are six county cities under it. The population is less than 50,000. Over the years, they have lived a stable life, neither good nor bad.

Princess Ning Xi chose a prince in the imperial capital. He was not from a powerful family, but could barely be considered a scholar.

Junma did not serve as an official in the court, but he set up an academy and taught there every day.

After the two got married, Princess Ning Xi brought Princess Ma's parents to her residence.

I heard that the in-laws got along well with each other, and the prince loved the princess very much.

That’s all the rumors out there.

Moreover, there is only this one version, and anyone who mentions Princess Ning Xi can only say these things.

When Ji Chuhe first met Princess Ning Xi, he felt that Princess Ning Xi must be very strict in managing her household, and that the Princess's mansion must be like an iron barrel inside and out.

"Prince, is there any news about the other generals in the court?" Ji Chuhe asked suddenly.

"Yes, General Nan wants to come to the imperial capital to meet with the emperor and discuss the specific details of investigating the corruption case in the military."

"Where's General Ji?"

“There is no news yet.”

"It's just that there is no news on the surface. Otherwise, why would Princess Ning Xi suddenly hold a crab feast?"

"Madam, what is the relationship between Princess Ning Xi and General Ji?" Xiao Yan'an was confused.

"Princess Ning Xi's mother, Princess Lan, and General Ji's wife are sisters from the same mother. Princess Lan is the elder sister, and General Ji's wife is the younger sister." Ji Chuhe explained the relationship.

"There is such a relationship!" Xiao Yan'an was really surprised.

"I also got another piece of news. General Ji's daughter has come to the imperial capital and is staying at Princess Ning Xi's residence. She said she is here to visit her relatives. However, this news has not been spread everywhere. Very few people know that General Ji's daughter has come to the imperial capital."

"General Ji's daughter is coming to the imperial capital? Is this what General Ji meant?"

"Let me go to the crab feast first and then discuss this issue." Ji Chuhe is not quite sure what General Ji means.

Before, when General Ji formed an alliance with the Queen, he promised the Queen that as long as the Third Prince became the Crown Prince, he would support the Third Prince.

It can be seen that General Ji is very cunning.

Now, the fourth prince Xiao Yan'an has succeeded to the throne.

The relationship between the new emperor and the Empress Dowager was tit-for-tat and as hostile as fire and water.

The two must have contacted General Ji and General Nan in private. I wonder how these two dealt with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

However, the two of them finally made a move, which was exactly what Ji Chuhe had been expecting.

On the day of going to the princess's mansion for the banquet, Ji Chuhe chose a more homely makeup look, and she looked gentle and easy-going.

Yun'er is very young and doesn't like pink fabrics. She always likes to pick up the leftover fabrics from Ji Chuhe's sewing of clothes.

Ji Chuhe especially likes lighter colors such as light yellow, light green, orange and pink, and Yun'er also likes these colors.

Therefore, when making clothes, Ji Chuhe always remembered to tell the embroiderer not to make children's clothes too dull.

Even though it's the same fabric.

Ji Chuhe's clothes are dignified and elegant.

Yun'er's clothes are smart and pretty.

The two of them were wearing clothes made of the same fabric, and they looked indescribably harmonious. However, they didn't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters.

During these days, Yun'er has developed the noble demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family under the influence of Ji Chuhe's words and deeds. She follows her mother like a replica of her mother.

The carriage stopped outside the princess's mansion, and the servant who greeted guests recognized it immediately.

"Welcome, Madam Crown Prince! Madam Crown Prince, please come in."

"Thank you." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.

The servant brought Ji Chuhe and Yun'er into the courtyard where the banquet was held.

The courtyard was very lively, with banquets set up along the corridor, with more than ten tables.

As soon as Princess Ning Xi saw Ji Chuhe, she immediately came forward to greet him.

"Mrs. Crown Prince."

"Princess Ning Xi."

The two men greeted each other.

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. The banquet was held in a hurry. If there is any negligence, I hope Madam will forgive me."
