The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 259 Spring passes and autumn comes

Shen You and Qi Ji went to see Old Mrs. Bai together.

Originally, Old Mrs. Bai said she was going out to welcome Shen You, after all, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who was here in person.

But Shen You told Qi Ji in advance that Old Mrs. Bai was in poor health and seldom went out on weekdays. There was no need to go through all these false formalities and make the old lady sick again.

As soon as Shen You entered the room, Mrs. Bai smiled.

She had made a mistake that day and actually thought Qi Ji liked Zhou Ning.

Ugh.

Old Lady Bai held Shen You's hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this face and exempting me from the gift."

Shen You sat next to Old Lady Bai and said with a smile, "We are all family."

Old Lady Bai took out a pair of jade bracelets and said, "These were given to me by the late queen. They are made of the finest jade. If Your Highness doesn't mind..."

The Bai family was originally a royal family of the Xia Dynasty, and Old Lady Bai was a good friend of the former queen of the Xia Dynasty. With such a friendship, the jade bracelet was more than just a jade bracelet.

"How could I dislike it? I'm so happy." Shen You put the jade bracelet on her hand and showed it to Qi Ji, "Does it look good?"

Qi Ji resisted the urge to touch Shen You's head and chuckled, "It looks good."

Shen You suddenly remembered the secret room in the cave that he had discovered.

After arriving in the capital, she reported it to the emperor. Originally, these things should have belonged to the court or the emperor's private treasury, but the emperor gave them to her.

That was an entire royal treasury, and it was given to her just like that.

Shen You roughly guessed that the emperor also wanted her to build up her own power.

"Your Highness, I wonder when you and Ji'er would like to get engaged?" Old Mrs. Bai still hoped to see her grandson get married with her own eyes.

Shen You replied: "We don't plan to get engaged yet."

"Ah?" Old Lady Bai asked hurriedly, "Did Ji'er cause His Highness to be unhappy in some way?"

As she spoke, Old Lady Bai pretended to glare at Qi Ji and said, "Tell me, I will make him apologize to His Highness."

Shen You explained: "No, no, Qi Ji also needs to study and become an official, and I have things to do. Getting married is too complicated, so I can't take care of it for the time being."

Shen You and Qi Ji have discussed it and decided to get engaged and married at the age of eighteen to save time.

Although Old Mrs. Bai didn't understand, their family was headed by Princess Shang, so naturally they had to listen to the princess in everything, so she didn't say anything more.

Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fade.

A year has passed.

Emperor Shen Lin gave Shen You a title - Princess Changle.

During this year, Shen You and Zhou Ning visited many places to observe local political achievements and punish evildoers. The local people all knew that there was such a Princess Changle in this dynasty.

As for the other princes, they were busy fighting for power and profit, and the common people knew nothing about them.

Shen Lin also asked Shen You to secretly make friends with poor children. Shen You decided to start from the root.

Wherever she went, she set up scholarships there.

At the same time, she also set up schools and encouraged girls to attend.

The Ji family of the Duke's Mansion, General Cui Zhien, the aristocratic Bai family, and the Su family admired by students all over the world are all backing Shen You. After a few years of settling down, Shen Lin will be able to hand over the dynasty to Shen You.

By the way, Cui Zhien took good rest this year and Cui Wangmei became pregnant. Through her pulse, Zhou Ning told them that it was probably a boy.

Cui Wangmei cried with joy, held a grand banquet, and told the whole capital that Cui Zhien had two legitimate daughters.

Although Choi Ji-eun had mentioned her two daughters in the court before, that was after all spread among men.

Cui Wangmei's move was to bring Zhou Wan and Zhou Ning into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

Zhou Ning didn't care, but Zhou Wan had a daughter, so she always had to consider in advance which family was more reliable, so Zhou Wan was still very happy.

This year winter came exceptionally early, which seemed to foreshadow that this year would be unusual.

Zhou Ning was afraid of the cold, so she would lie down in bed early and refused to go out once a day.

Bai Zhao came every day, but every time he heard that Zhou Ning was still lying there, he would just pause for a moment at the door before leaving.

When leaving, leave a red plum blossom behind.

Zhou Ning was wondering in her heart that this boy had become more and more shy since he broke into her bedroom last time.

Shen You is very hardworking and is busy with government affairs every day.

Qi Ji walked side by side with him and became his little follower.

A man who was on good terms with Qi Ji privately advised Qi Ji not to marry the princess.

The title of prince consort sounds nice, but in reality he cannot serve as an official in the court. With Qi Ji's talent and character, he could have made great achievements, so why should he marry a princess?

The princess is a member of the royal family. After marrying a princess, you cannot take concubines and you cannot disrespect the princess.

How frustrating.

Qi Ji disagreed. If one of the two had to sacrifice himself for the family, then he was willing to take care of his wife and children.

He was very smart since he was young and could learn anything quickly.

For him, official career is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he has a home, a warm home with her.

Qi Ji brought a plate of plum cakes into the room and happened to see Shen You sleeping on the table due to exhaustion.

Qi Ji frowned slightly and was about to pick her up and let her have a good sleep on the couch.

Unexpectedly, Shen You, who was in a light sleep mode, woke up all of a sudden.

"Qi Ji, you're here." Shen You rubbed her eyes and rubbed against Qi Ji's arms.

Just woke up, feeling a little cold.

Qi Ji gently hugged Shen You and asked, "Another sleepless night?"

"Yes." Shen You yawned and said, "Well, the envoy from Yangwu said that there would be a prince and princess. I have to prepare well and cannot make any mistakes. Also, their country's writing is too difficult to learn."

Yangwu is the largest country in the northwest. It has strong combat effectiveness and ambition. It almost defeated Daqian's army several times.

Qi Ji said: "Don't worry, I have learned some Yangwu characters, I will translate for you when the time comes."

Shen You poked his head out and asked, "Aren't you in the Ministry of Justice? Why are you learning Yangwuwen?"

Qi Ji smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I learn it for fun."

Okay, that's amazing.

Shen You played with Qi Ji's hands and said, "Actually, this is not the most important thing. Normally, they should just send an envoy, or at most a prince to show their importance and respect. But this time, there is even a princess, and I'm afraid they will do something."

"what do you mean……"

"Do you think they will allow His Majesty to marry the princess?" Shen You asked.

Everyone in the world knows that Shen Lin has only one queen and no biological children.

This time, if they let Shen Lin marry Wang Ji, and if they have a child, Yang Wu will have a reason to control Daqian.

"His Majesty will not marry another woman. After all, he has the princess in his heart," said Qi Ji.

In fact, both of them knew very well that it was not because of the deep love between the emperor and the empress, but because Shen Lin had a white moonlight in his heart.
