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

"In addition, looking at these soldiers going out to fight, we can get a glimpse of our Daxia's national strength. Daxia has experienced such a great turmoil, and there is no guarantee that the neighboring country will not have any evil intentions towards Daxia. The 100,000 soldiers going out to fight is also a warning and deterrence to the neighboring country, letting them know that although Daxia has experienced civil strife, it is not as fragile as they imagined. If they want to get a piece of the pie, they must also weigh their own strength."

"Madam, you are still very thoughtful." Xiao Yan'an only thought of this after hearing these words.

In these aspects, he may never catch up with Ji Chuhe in his entire life.

"Your Highness, I have another important thing to do this time. There are many farmers in Yongcheng who are planting mulberry and hemp. I want to see if I can expand the planting area and mobilize some people to raise silkworms. By then, the price of silk and satin can be controlled."

"Now, Marquis Wuyang has begun to investigate the number of farmlands in each county and is preparing to vigorously restore farming. The people will soon be able to have enough food and even surplus food. In addition to having enough food, wearing floor heating must also be put on the agenda."

"Madam, I support you!" Xiao Yan'an responded without hesitation.

……

The child that General Ji had snatched away was temporarily being raised by Madam Ji and Ji Shuangshuang.

Mrs. Ji and Ji Shuangshuang treated this child as if he were the apple of their eye.

After the wet nurse came and fed the baby, Mrs. Ji asked Ji Shuangshuang to put the baby in the cradle.

"Shuangshuang, you have become more and more adept at taking care of this child these days. When you have your own children in the future, you won't feel so unfamiliar taking care of them." Mrs. Ji said with emotion.

Ji Shuangshuang put the child down, without much concern in her eyes, as if she was looking at an object.

However, this object has a huge impact on them, so she treats it this way.

Ji Shuangshuang turned around and took Madam Ji's hand, "Mother, Prince Huaiyang has already succeeded to the throne. Can this child alone pull him down from the throne?"

"Even if Prince Huaiyang gets the throne, as your father said, it is not legitimate. Prince Huaiyang only relies on his royal blood. Not everyone in the court will obey him." All the words that Mrs. Ji said were said by Ji Zhenghui to her.

She has never had her own opinion. She always does whatever her husband says and she trusts her husband very much.

"At the beginning, Chang Ru told me that if the little prince she gave birth to became the emperor, my father would have all the power in the court. By then, even if it was Xiao Yan'an, he would have to be my slave." Ji Shuangshuang felt sour and uncomfortable.

"You're still obsessed with Xiao Yan'an! Shuangshuang, mother feels that there are so many men in the world, there's no need to stick with just one, why don't we look for someone else?"

"Mother, didn't you fall in love with father at first sight? That's why you tried your best to save him and lived in love with him all your life? I also fell in love with Xiao Yan'an at first sight, but I just couldn't accept it."

"Then you just wait a little longer. When your father wins this battle and pulls Prince Huaiyang off the throne, Xiao Yan'an will be yours."

Ji Shuangshuang nodded emphatically, "I must make Xiao Yan'an kneel in front of me and beg me to be with him!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Ji Zhenghui hurried in.

Madam Ji saw that he looked panicked and immediately asked, "General, what happened? Did the King of Huaiyang send troops to attack us?"

"Prince Huaiyang did send an army of 100,000 to attack us, but this is not the most important thing. Right now, there is something more important." Prince Huaiyang looked around and his eyes were fixed on the cradle.

He quickly walked forward and picked up the child in the cradle.

He used so much force that he hurt the child, who immediately started crying.

"General, what's wrong with you? This is the little prince!" Mrs. Ji asked in panic.

"Little prince? What little prince! I just received a secret report that this child is not a little prince at all. Chang Ru gave birth to a daughter, and the Empress Dowager swapped Chang Ru's daughters. Who knows whose bastard this is!"

"What! How could this happen? Is the news reliable? Could it be false?"

"It can't be fake! When Prince Huaiyang succeeded to the throne, he also held a three-question ceremony. The first question was to the gods of heaven and earth, the second was to the ancestors of the ancestral temple, and the third was to the common people. He has now firmly sat on the throne!"

Mrs. Ji didn’t quite understand the rules of the three questions, but after hearing what Ji Zhenghui said that the child was not of royal blood, she realized that they might become traitors!

"Father, how did you know that this child is not the little prince based on the news you received?" Ji Shuangshuang still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Ji Chuhe found the little princess in the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager. At that time, the emperor had not been assassinated yet, and he recognized the little princess as his relative in front of all the civil and military officials! The identity of the little princess has been confirmed, and the Grand Empress Dowager was demoted to a commoner and executed. Later, the emperor was assassinated, and Prince Huaiyang inherited the throne after three inquiries."

Ji Shuangshuang's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

"General, what should we do now? Since the Prince of Huaiyang has already secured the throne, we are traitors, and those soldiers may not listen to you."

"The only way now is to change our strategy and pull back from the brink, only then will we have a chance of survival."

"Father, what are you going to do?" Ji Shuangshuang asked immediately.

"Just say that I was bewitched by Luo Jixun and tried to kill him. Then I'll take Luo Jixun's head and the child to ask for credit from the crown prince."

"Prince?" Ji Shuangshuang didn't react for a moment.

"Xiao Yan'an has been named the crown prince." General Ji explained.

Ji Shuangshuang's heart was gripped tightly, "Has Ji Chuhe been named the Crown Princess?"

"The Crown Princess must be her."

Ji Shuangshuang felt even more upset.

"Shuangshuang, now that things have developed to this point, the most important thing is that we stay alive. Don't think about anything else for the time being. You two stay here, I will send someone to protect you." General Ji gave instructions and turned to walk out.

……

Although Luo Jixun was also in Yongcheng, he was not with Ji Zhenghui.

As soon as his men returned to Yongcheng, they immediately took control of the Yongcheng County Magistrate.

Now, he is living comfortably in the county magistrate's mansion.

Xiao Yanan's assassination made him very sad, but fortunately he had this child.

He also wondered whether the child was the emperor's in the chaotic situation at that time, but along the way, he didn't even have the chance to confirm it.

Things have come to this point, and he has no other choice but to go all the way.

"General, General Ji has set up a banquet and invited you to attend it. He said he wants to discuss important matters with you." A guard came to Luo Jixun to report.

Si De on the side immediately realized something.
