In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Chapter 39 Failed, Failed Again

Mo Jinyi walked up to the prince, his face darkening.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"My prince, I and the court officials have high hopes for you. If you repay me like this, it would be a waste of all my years of teaching you."

Mo Jinyi kicked directly, and as one kick was not enough he kicked a few more times.

The prince was kicked to the ground.

The second prince and others who were standing behind saw that their father suddenly became angry.

Hastily stepped forward to stop.

Each of them pulled their father and begged for mercy.

The emperor is the same. If he wants to kick the crown prince, he has to wait until the three of them leave.

Doesn’t the Crown Prince have any respect?

"Father, calm down. The incident with the Crown Prince and my brother hasn't happened yet. The most urgent thing is how to solve the current dilemma."

Mo Jinyi kicked a few times to vent his anger.

He then spoke to the prince earnestly.

"My prince, as a ruler, you have to ensure the stability of the country. Your personal fate is closely related to the country. No matter what you are like as an individual, you always bear the heavy responsibility of the country, and a single move can affect the entire country."

After the prince knelt down again, he bowed his head for a long time.

"I feel guilty. From now on, I will always reflect on myself. I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country and live up to the expectations of my father and the people."

Seeing that the prince's attitude was still correct, Mo Jinyi didn't say anything to him and asked him to get up.

Then he spoke to the Second Prince and the others.

"I will not stop you brothers from doing what you want to do, but being born in the royal family, you have no control over many things. You should also think about it."

The Second Prince and the others also nodded obediently.

"Also, as you heard today, I already had a plan, and Princess Zhaoyang is still young.

Prince, go back and coordinate your study time, then go to court. Your sister is right, you should really gain experience earlier.

As for the three of you, stay in the academy for another one or two years and go out to gain experience.

"Back off."

Mo Jinyi sat back down and waved his hand, asking them to leave quickly.

Just looking at it gives me a headache.

"My son resigns"

A few of them touched their noses in disappointment, retreated, and went to school together.

………………

Yan Zigui had just returned home after having lunch and was preparing to take off her hairpins and take a nap.

Eunuch Li's young disciple came to the Duke's Mansion with the imperial edict.

"Miss, don't take it off yet. Someone is coming from the palace. Please move to the front hall."

Jinxiu walked quickly into Yan Zigui's room and called two maids to help Yan Zigui put on his hairpins and makeup again.

Yan Zigui came to the front hall and her parents had already arrived.

"Daddy, Mommy"

Yan Zigui bowed respectfully to his parents.

Qing Yu, who was sitting nearby, spoke up.

"Miss Yan is here, shall we start? After the imperial decree is announced, we have to go back to the palace to accompany the emperor."

The Duke of the County smiled flatteringly at Qing Yu.

"Of course, of course, Eunuch Wang, please announce the decree."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The daughter of the Duke of a County, Yan Zigui, is gifted with natural talent, courage and wisdom. Today, she has been saved by the Empress Dowager, and I am deeply grateful. I hereby confer her the title of Zigui Township Lord, and grant her a fief of fifty households. I decree this."

"Miss Yan, will you accept the order?"

Her mother also poked her in the back.

Qing Yu smiled and said, I don't know how this Miss Yan offended the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and she didn't even have the title of village chief.

Yan Zigui never expected that her painstaking efforts would result in such a result.

After being reminded by Eunuch Wang, Yan Zigui came back to his senses.

Thank you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live the emperor."

"Well, it's time for us to go back to the palace."

The Duke of County stood up and said that he would give Qing Yu a visit. He took the silver from the butler and stuffed it into Qing Yu's hand.

"Eunuch Wang, please accept this for tea money."

Qing Yu smiled and left.

"Oh, my daughter, you have made great progress. If you go out and buy some rouge and powder today, you can earn enough to become a village head."

Mother Yan hugged Yan Zigui happily.

Smiled happily.

The descendants of the Duke's Mansion are not up to standard and have not received any reward from His Majesty for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this daughter just went out today and saved the empress dowager and was named the village chief.

Yan Zigui sat there blankly, reading the imperial edict over and over again without getting tired of it.

Until the imperial edict in her hand was snatched away by Yan's father and prepared to be offered in their ancestral temple.

Only then did she realize that what she had painstakingly planned for so long did not go according to her ideas at all.

What went wrong?

"Daughter, do you think we should have a banquet to celebrate?"

Yan's mother was so happy that she didn't notice her daughter's twisted and unwilling face at all.

Yan Zigui came back to his senses.

“Forget it, mother.

This matter is not a very big reward, and after all, it is just a small matter of the Queen Mother scaring the horse. They can get down safely without me.

We should keep a low profile and live our lives behind closed doors.”

She didn't want to be so embarrassed that she held a banquet for a reward that was neither too big nor too small.

Those ladies in the capital would laugh at her to death.

"That's right, that's right, mother is confused," Yan's mother thought for a while.

She felt that her daughter was right and it was better to keep a low profile.

Then she said this when she went to attend someone else's banquet.

Let those who flatter the weak take a good look.

This time she wanted to find a good husband for her daughter.

That night.

Yan Zigui had just laid down when someone knocked on her window.

"buckle"

"Who?" Yan Zigui asked vigilantly.

"Miss, it's me, Jiang Feng"

Jiang Feng was a gangster whom Yan Zigui rescued on his way to worship Buddha at Huguo Temple.

When rescuing people, I only think that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

I didn't expect that this man is the second-ranked leader of the assassin gang in the underworld.

He even insisted that staying with her for three years was his way of repaying her kindness.

I have to say that with his help, some things are indeed much easier to handle.

Yan Zigui put on a coat, stood up and opened the window.

"Brother Jiang, come in and talk."

Turn around and sit

Next to the table, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Feng.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here at this time? Have you completed the task that Zigui asked you to do?"

Yan Zigui asked softly.

"Sorry, Miss Yan, this has failed."

Jiang Feng didn't know how to face Yan Zigui. This was the first time he failed in completing a mission.

"Failed? How could that be? It's impossible." Yan Zigui said in a lost voice.

It was obvious that he was just an official put forward by the court to serve as a shield and appease the public anger. Logically, he should have been very strict in his management. How could he fail?

She had clearly already thought it through. Once these people were rescued, she would have them go and beat the drum to ask for an audience with the emperor to redress their grievances.

For this purpose, he even went to ask Duke Anguo to write a letter to plead for mercy.

Now it has failed again.

"This time, the people are very powerful. They are escorted by 5,000 elite soldiers, and there are people in the capital to support them. Moreover, there are several waves of forces to rob and kill these people. Now that they have entered the capital, we have no chance to take action."

Jiang Feng felt a little guilty, but the court sent too many people, and he lost more than half of his people before escaping.

Yan Zigui came back to his senses and clenched his nails tightly with his lowered hands.

She took a deep breath and gently comforted Jiang Feng.

"It's okay, Brother Jiang. If we fail, we fail. It's just the loss of a few talented people. Are you hurt? And your brothers, please apologize to them for me. I'm sorry for getting them into trouble."

Miss Yan is really considerate.

"Miss Yan, I have nothing to do. Jiang Feng will take his leave first. It's so late, I won't disturb your rest."

"Okay, Brother Jiang, you should go back and have a good rest too."

Yan Zigui saw Jiang Feng off with a smile, closed the window, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

Failed, failed again.

Twice now.

But that’s okay.

She also knew other things that could be used.

...............

Concubine Rong just returned to Huaqing Palace holding Mo Sheng.

Mo Sheng had already woken up.

Just yawned.
