Chapter 1123: Chapter 917: Interrogating Minister Lu_2
After returning to the Ji Family, Ji Youzhi spoke about the matter.
Huo Xing’Er let out a deep breath and said to them.
Zhu Xiuxiu was also very surprised.
"So the child is from the Li Family. I was saying, he resembles Suisui a bit, but has no likeness to the Ji Family brothers at all?"
Zhu Xiuxiu’s words suddenly enlightened Huo Xing’Er.
"So every time you saw Erhu, you were wondering about this!
Didn’t you see that every time our third brother saw you looking at Erhu, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone!"
When Zhu Xiuxiu heard her mention Ji Youcheng, she got angry.
She was so mad she left the Ji Mansion to stay for a few days in her dowry courtyard, and Ji Youcheng followed her there, sticking around her for a few days, arguing with her every day.
She was so enraged she wanted to tear him apart.
If it weren’t for Xiaosuisui’s birthday today, she wouldn’t have wanted to come back.
"Today is Suisui’s birthday, let’s not talk about these unpleasant things. Let the Li Family worry about their own nephew.
If that child hadn’t accidentally met Suisui, he probably wouldn’t have had a chance to find his roots in this lifetime, which must be fate."
After Huo Xing’Er finished speaking, the Ji Matriarch chimed in, "The second daughter-in-law is right, everyone get ready. If there are any gifts to give, hurry up, we need to leave for the palace, Nanny Xiao has come to fetch us already."
As soon as the Ji Matriarch finished speaking, Nanny Xiao’s giggling voice came from outside.
"Ji Matriarch is still so sharp-eyed and quick of hearing, I just arrived and you already knew."
"It’s because your footsteps are different from others, I can recognize them."
Everyone, while talking, boarded the carriage heading to the palace.
After entering the palace, she received gifts from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but that wasn’t the main thing; the main thing was the fireworks before midnight.
Empress Xiao stood beside the Ji Matriarch, whispering to her.
"I heard you’ve met the orphan of the Prince of Qing’s Mansion?"
"Met him once during the plum blossom appreciation banquet."
"How was it? I know that when you were young, your Qi Observation Technique was quite powerful."
"Very much like the Princess of Qing!"
"And the Prince of Qing?"
The Ji Matriarch remained silent; she hadn’t told their eldest son yet.
But she knew, the eldest son must have guessed it already.
"Your silence gives me no assurance."
"I think Youzhi will discover the truth."
"Recently, someone has submitted a petition to the Emperor to choose a consort for Princess Lianchun!"
Ji Matriarch: "..."
She dared not continue this conversation!
The thirty-five-year-old Princess Lianchun, choosing a consort, who could be suitable?
Who would be worthy?
"Princess Lianchun went out to investigate a case herself, for the rest of her life, who knows what decisions she will make?"
"Each generation will have its own fortune, you shouldn’t worry too much. If it really doesn’t work out, the courtiers can petition again, and His Majesty can plead with the late Emperor."
The Ji Matriarch offered a suggestion to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, then shook her head directly, saying that they should wait for Princess Lianchun to return before discussing it further.
After the fireworks were over, the little girl was also tired and fell asleep in the embrace of the Emperor watching the fireworks.
When she woke up, it was already daylight. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a snow-white little rabbit.
"Xiaobai!"
She blinked and rubbed her eyes, asking, "You’re awake? Do you want some meat?"
Xiaobai looked mournful. It had already lost its original gluttonous form, yet she still thought of feeding it meat?
"What kind of rabbit only eats grass?
Are you even a rabbit?"
"What? Xiaoqing is hiding deep in the mountains and doesn’t dare to come to the Capital City?
Why is that?"
Xiaobai nudged her palm, and Xiaosuisui seemed to understand its silent message.
"You mean that the Capital City has the Emperor’s Dragon Qi, which he can’t enter, otherwise he’ll be harmed by the Dragon Qi?"
Xiaobai rubbed her hand two more times, and Xiaosuisui just said "Oh."
She said nothing more, tilting her little head and disdainfully tossing Xiaobai onto the floor off her bed.
Yunxiang and Yun Duo came in with water for her to wash up and were surprised to see Xiaobai, exclaiming.
"Xiaobai?
Where did this one come from? It’s been gone so long and yet it’s willing to come back?"
Xiaobai hopped up onto the window sill, leaving them with just a small fluffy tail!
It’s March, the imperial exams are about to start, fortunately Ji Youze managed to return two days before the exams, as he held Xiaosuisui, he playfully flicked her forehead.
"You ungrateful little thing, you didn’t even go to pick up your Uncle Eight!"
Xiaosuisui rubbed her forehead, pouting and complaining.
"I was just calculating, knowing you, Uncle Eight, would make it back on time, right?"
Hearing this, Ji Youze let out a snort, "How could I not rush back? The horse almost ran itself to death."
