The Sisters Arrive at the Capital
Yuzhou.
The weather was good, and the sun shone brightly.
The warm light shone on them, making them feel very comfortable.
"Gulp, gulp."
A luxuriously decorated carriage traveled at a moderate speed through the mountains.
Behind the luxurious carriage were a few ordinary carriages with chests of all sizes tied to them. It was as if some rich family was moving.
The coachman at the front urged the horse forward as he spoke to the person in the carriage, "Miss, we've arrived at Yuzhou. We'll reach the capital in a day or two."
Very soon —
A shrill female voice came from the carriage, complaining, "Why is it taking so long?"
It's been a few days, and it's going to take another day or two!
How annoying!
The coachman said, "Miss, this is a mountain road, and the road is bumpy, so we're moving a bit slower."
"Alright, alright, hurry up. We can't be slow."
"Yes!"
After the coachman received the order, he gently lashed the horsewhip in his hand on the horse's back. The horse neighed and moved a little faster.
Naturally, the carriage sped up as well.
The bumpy road became even more intense.
Thereupon —
There was a scream from the carriage.
Black tea had spilled on Ji Muqing's dress.
She furrowed her brows in distress as she looked at her expensive dress. Her hands dangled, unsure of where to put them.
"Why did you bring me tea? This dress is my favorite. "
She complained.
Ji Wanxin's hands were scalded as well. She put down the teacup and blew on her hands, "You can wash them when we reach the capital."
"You make it sound so easy." Ji Muqing huffed, her face red with anger. She added, "Luckily, you didn't dirty the dress I wore to enter the palace. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson."
Oh my!
You're the best!
However, the dress Ji Muqing wore to enter the palace was even more expensive. It was ordered in Qingzhou and was one of a kind.
It was said that the dress was studded with jewels and pearls. Just one of them was enough to feed an ordinary family for a year.
But —
Wasn't a dress studded with jewels heavy?
Was it not mainstream?
Ji Wanxin glanced at her bossy older sister and didn't intend to respond. She sighed softly and lifted the curtain to look outside.
There were bushes everywhere!
She couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry in her eyes. "I wonder how Yunshu is doing in the capital?"
When she heard Yunshu's name, Ji Muqing pulled her over.
"You better listen carefully. Our Ji family doesn't have anyone named Ji Yunshu. She's not our relative, but our enemy. If you dare to treat her as your little sister, I won't let you off."
"Big Sister …"
"She killed Third Brother and angered Grandmother to death. This time, she almost killed Big Brother. People like her should go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated!"
Too vicious!
This was in line with Muqing's nature.
However, Ji Wanxin had a bitter expression on her face. It was obvious that she didn't want to listen to her. She said, "Big Sister, how can you blame Yunshu for Third Brother's death? It was Third Brother's intention to kill."
"Enough!"
Ji Muqing pushed her away. She was furious.
She turned around and said angrily, "That wretched Luan 'er had already shouldered all the blame, yet she refused to let third brother off. She forcefully sent him to prison, causing him to die a miserable death. Clearly, as long as she pretended not to know anything, third brother wouldn't have to die."
This logic!
It was too magical.
Poor Luan 'er!
Ji Wanxin knew that Ji Muqing was angry, so she didn't want to argue with her. She simply cleaned up the teacups in the carriage.
Ji Muqing still hadn't vented her anger. She clenched her fists and warned her again, "Wanxin, you must listen carefully. That wretched girl is our enemy. She is our enemy. When you see her, you better know what to do."
Ji Wanxin didn't reply.
Thus, Ji Muqing said, "Big Brother's letter said that she is now in the Rong Estate."
"Huh?"
"I also heard from Big Brother that she handled two big cases in the capital. Even the Emperor knows about her." She snorted. "How interesting. It seems that she is currently helping Prince Rong investigate the 'Lin Capital Case'. It is obvious that she has found a big backer. I don't know what poison she has in Prince Rong, but he is so protective of her. This is the same in Jinjiang and the capital."
There was a trace of jealousy in her words.
Ji Wanxin seemed to be tidying up, but when she heard about the matter between Ji Yunshu and Prince Rong, her docile eyes suddenly turned cold.
Her hand holding the teacup also tightened.
However, Ji Muqing didn't see it at all. Instead, she elbowed her with a sinister smile.
"Oh right, the son of the Minister of Rites, Shen Zhangqin, probably knows that you are going to the capital. After I become the Crown Prince's consort, Father will make a plan for you. When you arrive in the capital, you will meet Shen Zhangqin."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Wanxin turned away.
"What are you embarrassed about? Sooner or later, he will be your husband. Isn't it normal for you to meet him first? Besides, isn't it the same reason why Father wants you to come to the capital with me? "
Ji Muqing's tone was really strange.
It made Ji Wanxin very unhappy.
"You don't need to worry about the matter between me and him." As he spoke, he simply sat on the side of the carriage and lightly said, "You'd better think about yourself."
"Myself?" Ji Muqing pointed at herself.
Raising her willowy eyebrows, she had a proud look on her face as if victory was already in her grasp. Smiling, she said, "What can I think? In any case, my position as the Crown Prince's consort has been confirmed. No one can touch it. After all, it was decided when the Empress was still alive. The Empress is the Crown Prince's birth mother. The Emperor's words are worth a thousand gold. He won't change his mind. "
'Yes!
He definitely won't. '
However, Ji Wanxin was still worried. "But this time, there are still many people entering the palace to choose a consort. If something goes wrong, then you …"
Before he could finish, Ji Muqing had already spat a few times.
She glared fiercely at Ji Wanxin. Displeased, she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What goes wrong? What could possibly go wrong? It was decided long ago, so naturally, it won't change. This time, it's a consort selection. It's just a formality. Besides, don't you know how powerful Eldest Brother and Second Brother are in the court? "
She had only said a few words, but Ji Muqing had said more than ten!
Ji Wanxin explained, "I'm just reminding you so that you can prepare yourself. Otherwise …"
"Alright, I know. I don't need you to remind me. If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have let you come with me. Troublesome!"
Her face was full of disdain.
Ji Wanxin was already used to it.
The two of them maintained their silence, not saying another word.
The carriage moved faster and faster. After passing Yuzhou, they would reach the capital in two days.
