Hongye patted her head and said, "You are the only one who understands. Our young lady doesn't want to return to the Ji family. How can the Ji family spread this matter? I think Miss Li must not know about it yet."

The Miss Li mentioned by Qingzhu is Li Huaixiang, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion's Li family. Although the name is literary, she is not an ordinary girl...

When I saw the handwriting on the letter paper clearly, I was sure it was not from Li Huaixiang. The unfamiliar handwriting was vigorous and flamboyant, thin but very powerful. I have to say that the handwriting was beautiful, and it was also... the handwriting reflected the person.

It turned out that so much time had passed, so long that he didn't even notice any trace of that person's existence. It was hard to believe that he was still thinking about the agreement between them. In addition to the letter paper, there were also several large checks in the envelope.

The reason was simple: the rouge and powder received a very good response in Wanbao Pavilion, allowing Wanbao Pavilion, which was not short of money, to make a huge fortune.

Ji Mengshu smiled. She didn't have any special abilities. She just saw through the secrets earlier than others. She just didn't know if changing others' existing paths privately would shorten her life...

Seeing that Ji Mengshu looked fine, Qingzhu suddenly caught a glimpse of the banknote in the envelope, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Miss...Miss, where did this banknote come from?" With so much money, an ordinary family could not spend it all in several lifetimes.

Ji Mengshu gave her a stern look and burned the letter and the envelope. "Keep these banknotes. They may be the capital for our livelihood in the future..."

Although Qingzhu didn't understand what her young lady was saying, she still took the handful of silver bills with a smile and quickly put them into Ji Mengshu's private vault.

"Do you remember the man you saved some time ago?"

Hongye suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. That man only said he was a businessman, but he turned out to be a wealthy businessman. He was really generous with the money he gave as a token of gratitude..."

Ji Mengshu smiled. Yes, after all, she had told him all about Rouge before. Only 10% of the profit from Wanbao Pavilion was enough to keep them going for a long time.

This Wanbao Pavilion is really good at making money. It's only 10% profit, but it's so much. Ji Mengshu was slightly amazed, and felt that he was a bit old-fashioned and narrow-minded in his previous life.

The time spent in the manor was getting longer and longer, and she didn't even notice it. It was not until the nanny in a golden brown grey robe stood outside the door that Ji Mengshu realized how happy she was during these days in the manor.

There is no intrigue, no deception.

"The Ji family's daughter is of noble status, she can't stay in this country farm for long..." The old nanny's eyes were a little dim, and she looked straight at Ji Mengshu through the green bamboo and red leaves. Her eyes were abrupt, as if they couldn't move, and she looked at people in a frightening way.

"Madam is right. Is there anything else you want?" Ji Mengshu asked softly, even though she knew that several people in the palace had never given up.

"This old servant has conveyed the Empress Dowager's oral order. Miss Ji will enter the palace tomorrow." After the old nanny finished speaking, she laughed, and her sagging yellow skin formed wrinkles at the corners of her mouth, as if she was unaware of it.

Ji Mengshu bowed obediently and said, "Madam, please tell the Queen Mother that I have learned about it and will enter the palace tomorrow."

After sending the nanny away, Qingzhu hung his head in dejection, "What's so good about the palace? Why did the Queen Mother only let Miss go? There are so many noble ladies in the imperial city. Why did they target Miss?"

Hongye flicked her head and said, "Hurry up and stand up. The young lady will be even more upset if she sees you."

There are many aristocratic families in the imperial city, but there is only one prime minister. Moreover, when the late emperor passed away, Ji's father was the minister entrusted by the late emperor to take care of his son.

Ning Huaixuan grew up to this age, and ascended the throne when she was young. Although the Queen Mother ruled the country from behind the curtain, she was just a woman in the harem after all, and the real decision-making power was handed over to several ministers who took care of the orphan. As Ning Huaixuan continued to grow up over the years, he was naturally dissatisfied with the ministers who took care of the orphan, and tried his best to seize power from the Queen Mother and several ministers.

Naturally, the empress dowager wanted the daughter of the Ji family to marry the emperor. In this way, they would be one family. The Ji family would then work like slaves for the royal family. After the imperial power was completely under the control of the emperor, it would be time to discard the donkey after it had served its purpose.

Ji Mengshu raised his eyebrows, and said, "Hongye Qingzhu, go pack your luggage, and we will meet at the Ji family today."

Since she can't persuade the Queen Mother, she should at least plead with her father.

The Ji family had a large gate, and Ji Mengshu stood outside and looked in, feeling as if she were in another world. After the servants at home informed her repeatedly, Ji Mengshu went to pay her respects to the elders at home, and then stood outside Ji's father's study.

Looking at the sky outside, I think it’s almost time for court to end.

Ji Mengshu counted silently in her heart until she heard a noisy sound coming from the courtyard door, and then she saw Ji Kang being escorted in by a group of people.

"I've met my father and my mother."

Ji Kang strode past her and said, "Mengshu, you're back. You've been waiting outside your father's study so early. Could it be that you're here to ask for an explanation for the beating your mother gave you last time?"

Ji Mengshu lowered her head respectfully, as if she was a little terrified. "My daughter dare not, but today the Queen Mother gave her an oral order to let my daughter go to the palace tomorrow. I don't know when I can come back, so I wanted to talk to my father before I leave..."

Anyone who heard this would feel extremely aggrieved. He did not mention the conflict with Jiang's mother at all. Jiang's mother could not stop him. She just took the ginseng soup handed over by the servant and put it on the desk as usual. "In this case, I will not disturb you two..."

Only after Jiang's mother closed the door did Ji Mengshu sit down.

Ji Kang was the prime minister and had a lot of things to do on a daily basis. Therefore, Ji Mengshu had not been close to Ji Kang for a long time since she was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was raised by Jiang's mother and several wet nurses.

"Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?" Ji Kang was nearly 40 years old and had a thick beard above his lips. As Ji Mengshu looked at him, she thought of the time when she was a child when she always liked to pull her father's beard.

Ji Mengshu lowered her eyes and knelt on the ground a few steps, "Father, I don't want to marry your Majesty."

Ji Kang paused while stirring the ginseng soup. He slowly raised his eyes, a look of distress brewing between his brows. "Why is this? This marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother herself. Besides, in the entire imperial city, apart from my daughter, Ji Kang, who else's daughter is worthy of the position of the mother of a country?"

Ji Mengshu took a deep breath, "Father..."

Ji Kang waved his hand, "Mengshu, if it's because of some sentimental thing, I won't agree. You have to understand that what your father gave you is the best choice... Do you know how many women in this world want to be queen?"
