CH 15.2

The meaning is, he is asking her why she is free and stays in the house today, and doesn’t go to Kaitaizhuang to do some work.

“The works there are almost all arranged. I will just go and have a look later.” Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes, picked up the cup and gently blew it.

She is actually at home just to wait for news.

Soon, the news came.

The little servant who had been following Ji Mingxi suddenly walked quickly into the study, and whispered a few words in Ji Mingxi’s ear.

Ji Mingxi, who has always been steady, suddenly changed his face and said with a look of disbelief: “What?”

Hearing this, Ji Mingshuang, whose legs were crossed, hurriedly sat up straight: “Eldest Brother, what happened?”

Ji Yunxi also raised her eyes to look over.

She had learned this news a month ago.

That is, next year’s draft will proceed as usual.

For a moment, the study room fell into silence.

After a while, Ji Mingshuang slapped the table and stood up: “It’s all a game! Eldest Brother, someone wants to harm Third Ji and let her enter the palace as a concubine.”

Otherwise, why is it all so coincidental?

A month ago, Yang Weitian came to withdraw from the engagement. Just ten days ago, Yang Weitian also set up a plan to kill the Wu family’s eldest son.

All this seems to be aimed at making his third younger sister enter the draft list with the status of unmarried woman of the right age.

But the age of the current Emperor now is several years older than their father!

Besides, with the temperament of their family’s Third Ji, if she really entered the palace, how much grievances must she live with?

“No.” Ji Mingxi shook his head slowly. Because he was thinking, he spoke slowly word by word, “This is wanting to harm our Ji family, and also harm the Crown Prince.”

Ji Mingxi stood up and said: “I have to go to the Crown Prince’s mansion.”

After speaking, he hurried away.

Ji Yunxi sat quietly drinking tea without speaking at all.

After a while, Ji Mingshuang noticed her abnormality.

With a face full of suspicion, he said: “Third Ji, there seems to be something wrong with you.”

Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows and gently put the cup back: “What’s wrong with me?”

“You look very calm.” Ji Mingshuang narrowed his eyes and an idea jumped in his mind. “It couldn’t be that you have known about this long ago, right?!”

Ji Yunxi: “?”

“That’s why you’re so anxious to get married?” The more Ji Mingshuang thought about it, the more he felt that everything made sense.

Third Ji has indeed always acted without rules and regulations, but she has never done things so urgently like this time.

Ji Yunxi’s mentality was very stable and asked back instead: “How can I know in advance what my older brother doesn’t even know?”

Ji Mingshuang thought that it was indeed so: “But…”

Ji Yunxi calmly interrupted him and said what she had learned from Wu Wei’an in the past few days: “I am anxious because I really like An Lang. Naturally, I have to strive for what I like.”

Ji Mingshuang got goosebumps: “… Don’t disgust me.”

As soon as the matter about the drafting event came out, all forces in the court made their own moves.

There are those who want to make their daughter fly up the branches and become a phoenix, and there are also those who want to place eyeliner in the harem.

And so on and so forth. Ji Yunxi seemed to hear the sound of chess pieces moving around.

But in the end, this matter has little to do with her.

At si shi[1] on the second day, which is the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The capital, which has been sunny for several days, began to snow again this morning.

The snowflakes fall down one after another just like flowers being scattered by fairies.
