Chapter 484: Removing the Marriage
The next day, Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi were summoned into the palace. The Emperor said that he was going to host a banquet for Gu Leiting and Jin Dahu generals.
Ji Changhuai didn’t know what kind of conspiracy the Emperor had. He didn’t know if it was a Hongmen feast or not, so he discussed it with Ji Jingzhi. He thought about his identity as the Regent, and the Emperor shouldn’t know act rashly and blindly. Therefore, he told Ji Jingzhi to be careful at the banquet, not to make mistakes, and act according to his eyes. Ji Jingzhi agreed.
Wei Shuwei also went into the palace to treat the Empress well today. When she saw Ji Jingzhi’s carriage, she was overjoyed. She quickly tidied up her makeup and waited for Ji Jingzhi to get out of the carriage and enter the palace together.
After Ji Jingzhi got off the carriage, Wei Shuwei quickly went up to greet him and looked at him affectionately. Ji Jingzhi didn’t expect to see Wei Shuwei and was unhappy, but Wei Shuwei was still his fiancee in name. She didn’t show her face and smiled and walked into the palace.
Wei Shuwei saw Ji Changhuai again and saluted. Ji Changhuai just smiled, glanced at Ji Jingzhi and left.
Along the way, Wei Shuwei slowly swallowed her time with Ji Jingzhi and searched for topics to talk with Ji Jingzhi.
“My son, what have you been busy with these past few days? I have invited you to play in the residence several times. The people in the residence say that you are not there! “Wei Shuwei put on an angry posture and thought that Ji Jingzhi could coax her.
Ji Jingzhi felt disgusted when he saw Wei Shuwei’s pretentious appearance and her performance in Yiren Store that day.
“A few days ago, I went to the famous Yiren Store in Beijing,” Ji Jingzhi said deliberately.
Wei Shuwei’s expression changed and she was flustered when she thought about her fight with someone else that day. She didn’t know if Ji Jingzhi saw her.
“Did the son see anything?” . . Wei Shuwei was afraid that Ji Jingzhi would see it.
“I have seen many interesting things,” Ji Jingzhi said coldly.
Wei Shuwei was about to ask again when she heard someone talking in front of her. She looked up and saw that the emperor had brought a bunch of people over. Thus, she quickly knelt down and saluted.
The Emperor saw how enthusiastic Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi were, and he smiled and said, “In the future, the Regent still has to come to the palace to accompany him. It has been a long time since he has been drinking in the palace.”
The Regent put on a moved expression and hurriedly replied, “Old body, follow your orders.” But in his heart, he felt hypocritical. The two with swords drawn and bows bent clearly did not come to the palace to eat wine.
The Emperor saw Wei Shuwei beside Ji Jingzhi and smiled. “The children really love their wives. Why are they here with their fiancee?”
Wei Shuwei pretended to be shy and replied, “This servant came to invite the Empress, and coincidentally met the son of the gods.”
“Oh?” The Emperor said, and Wei Shuwei bowed and left. Before leaving, she looked at Ji Jingzhi. She was reluctant to part with him and Ji Jingzhi pretended to be invisible.
Wei Shuwei turned her head and walked. She wondered if she saw Ji Jingzhi when Yiren Store opened that day. If her actions were seen at that time, how embarrassing would it be?
Wei Shuwei thought as she walked, but she didn’t pay attention to the situation in front of her. She felt that she had hit someone. Wei Shuwei unconsciously raised her head and saw a woman scream and fall. Wei Shuwei was also almost unstable, so she quickly held the railing beside her and stabilized herself. Wei Shuwei was about to stand up and scold her, “Daring, who is so blind to block my way!”
Raising her head, she saw that the father-in-law and the palace girls were surrounding the woman, trying to help her up. Wei Shuwei felt that the situation was bad, so she quickly took a closer look. The woman she bumped into was actually a princess!
Wei Shuwei was so frightened that she lost her soul. She quickly knelt down and apologized, “Little one, little one, damn it, I actually bumped into you, Princess.”
The princess was taking a stroll by the lake, but she saw the emperor talking to his ministers from afar. She wanted to go over and invite An An. When she saw the father-in-law leading Wei Shuwei over, her father-in-law had already invited An An to salute. However, she did not expect Wei Shuwei to bump into her as if she did not see her.
She saw that the princess’s shoes had been stepped off and fell to the ground. Her clothes were disheveled and she even scratched her face on the railing. She hadn’t reacted yet but she didn’t expect to hear Wei Shuwei’s insults first.
When the Emperor saw the chaotic scene, the palace girls rushed over to report that the princess was injured, so she hurriedly rushed over. Seeing that the princess was obviously frightened and had scratches on her face, he shouted angrily, “Who did it?”
Wei Shuwei was so frightened that she trembled and didn’t dare speak. Ji Changhuai and Ji Jingzhi did not know what happened, so they exchanged glances in confusion.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Upon seeing the Emperor’s anger, his father-in-law hurriedly said, “Your Highness, it’s the Miss the Wei Family.” Just now, the princess wanted to treat you, but Wei Shuwei bumped into her and even called the princess in talk wildly. . . . . Her father-in-law didn’t dare say anything else.
The Emperor was even angrier. “What are you scolding? Just talk.”
“What do you mean by calling the princess blind?” The father-in-law replied. Wei Shuwei’s body had to be like a sieve.
When Ji Jingzhi heard this, he didn’t wait for the Emperor to speak. He angrily said, “Your Highness, even though Wei Shuwei is the fiancee of your subject, this official has long disagreed with this marriage. Why don’t you want to make it difficult for the Emperor?”
When the Emperor was angry, he felt that there was no such arrogant woman. He didn’t know when Ji Jingzhi would say that. Looking at Ji Jingzhi’s pained expression, he remembered that his marriage was bestowed by himself, so he asked, “It seems like this is a complete mess.”
“Your Highness, today she bumped into the princess and was so domineering. On the day she opened the Yiren Store, she actually fought with someone in the shop. Weichen felt that she was going to lose her face.”
The Emperor just thought that Wei Shuwei was the daughter of the Wei Family, and Elder Wei was his own person. Although he was angry in his heart, he still thought that it was best not to blame her too much. He didn’t expect Ji Jingzhi to tell him this again. He didn’t know how to deal with it.
Seeing that it was a good opportunity, the Emperor hesitated and didn’t speak, so he leaned over to Ji Jingzhi’s face and asked, “My son, is this true?”
Ji Jingzhi nodded. Ji Changhuai looked distressed and cried, “Your Highness, you have to make decisions for me.” What sin did I have to put on a daughter-in-law like this? To actually injure the princess to such an extent, and even splashed on the streets.
Why did he have such an unruly daughter-in-law? Please take the position of the Emperor and remove this engagement. It is also a love for him.
Ji Jingzhi understood what his father meant and asked the Emperor for the divorce.
