A Pity for a Pair of Skin
Soon, news of Prince Yi's wedding spread throughout the capital.
It spread all the way to the various counties of Great Lin.
The common people were delighted to hear that the Ji family had raised a lucky daughter who could marry into Prince Yi's household as Prince Yi's Consort.
Such an honor was not something that everyone could enjoy.
She must have saved the entire galaxy in her past life.
At this time, outside the capital.
A carriage was slowly moving along the official road.
Inside the carriage, Ji Shuhan sat upright with his hands on his knees and his eyes closed.
Beside him, Ji Wanxin was silent, afraid that she would disturb her father. Even the way she drank water was careful.
The father-daughter pair had arrived at the capital at this time because of Ji Wanxin's marriage, so Ji Shuhan had personally escorted her to the capital to marry into the Shen family. However, he didn't expect to receive news of the Emperor's betrothal on the way.
His daughter was going to marry into Prince Ji's household and become Prince Yi's Consort!
When he first heard this, Ji Shuhan was stunned for a long time. After confirming it with the person who came to report the good news, he finally felt at ease. He was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Worship the heavens, worship the earth, worship the Bodhisattva!
He thought that his ancestral grave was emitting smoke.
He thought that after the death of the First Prince, the Ji family's Crown Princess would be ruined. He didn't expect that there would still be a Prince Yi. Coincidentally, the Emperor had betrothed them.
With Prince Yi's current status, he would definitely become the Crown Prince. In the future, when he ascended the throne, Ji Muqing would be the Empress.
Just thinking about it made Ji Shuhan's heart jump with joy.
Naturally, Ji Wanxin's marriage became very unimportant.
She didn't care either. It would be best if her marriage was canceled.
The carriage bumped along the way and finally reached the capital.
Ji Wanxin raised the curtain with her pale fingers and looked outside. They had already arrived at the foot of Mount Liang outside the capital. In a little more than two hours, they would reach the capital's city gates.
After a few turns, she arrived at the capital again.
"Where are we?" Ji Shuhan asked with his eyes closed.
"We've arrived at Mount Liang."
"Mm, as long as we can make it in time."
"There's still time. Big Sister is getting married tomorrow."
Ji Shuhan opened his eyes and smiled in a good mood. "I had thought that with the Crown Prince's death, your Eldest Sister's marriage would be called off. Who would have thought that His Majesty would grant a marriage and betroth your Eldest Sister to Prince Yi. With Muqing as Prince Yi's consort, even the heavens are helping our Ji family."
"I'm also very happy that Big Sister has found a good home."
Was it a sincere blessing? Or was it shabby?
He could not guess what she was thinking.
"You have to be careful too." Ji Shuhan looked at her with a worried frown. "The marriage between you and the Shen family was set a long time ago. No one can reject it. Even if Minister Shen is dissatisfied with it, it's already a done deal. You should take good care of your body and don't go out carelessly if you have nothing to do. When we reach the capital, I'll get you a good doctor to take a look at you. Take good care of your body and have children in the future. Let's see what else the Shen family can say."
How did they end up talking about her after going around in circles?
Ji Wanxin lowered her eyes. "Your daughter understands."
Ji Shuhan became angry when he saw her like this.
"Look at you. You're always like this. Whenever I say something about you, you only know how to lower your head. When you marry into the Shen family, who will help you if you're wronged? You have to work hard, understand? "
"I know."
Sigh …
Ji Shuhan said, "You're all the same."
Say it all?
Naturally, he brought Ji Yunshu into the conversation.
Every time he said something to Ji Yunshu, she would either hang her head or reply in a flat tone.
Now, Ji Wanxin was the same. She would lower her head before even saying two sentences.
Among his four daughters, Ji Muqing was the only one he liked the most. As for the other three, just thinking about them gave him a headache.
Ji Wanxin felt wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not say anything to her father.
An hour later, the carriage entered the city and stopped at the entrance of the General's Estate.
The Ji brothers were already waiting at the entrance.
"Father, you must be tired from the long journey. Go and rest later."
"There's no need." Ji Shuhan said urgently, "Muqing's marriage is imminent. Quickly tell me everything about the wedding."
"Yes."
After ushering them in, Ji Li recounted the details of Ji Muqing's wedding to Ji Shuhan's satisfaction.
"Our Ji family's daughters must not be shabby in their weddings. Although the gifts from His Majesty and Prince Yi's Estate are valuable, we must not be careless with our gifts."
Ji Li said, "Father, don't worry. I've arranged everything."
"Your mother passed away early and your grandmother has also passed away. As her father, I have to take care of the wedding. As her eldest brother, you have to be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"I know."
"Also, from now on, you and Ji Huan must help Prince Yi in the Imperial Court. If he gains power, it means that your sister gains power. At that time, our Ji family will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital."
Ji Shuhan had been an official in the Imperial Court and understood the underlying principle, but he did not say it out loud.
Ji Li also did not mention anything about what had happened to Ji Muqing during the Crown Prince Selection.
Ji Huan, who was at the side, did not make a sound.
He quietly listened to his elder brother and father discuss the wedding.
Ji Wanxin, who had been sitting silently in the hall, could not interrupt, so she quietly left.
Ji Huan followed.
He called out to him.
"Wanxin."
"Second Brother? Is something the matter? "
"You didn't look well just now. What's wrong?"
They were indeed siblings. Only Ji Huan would still think about having a sister.
She smiled faintly and shook her head, "I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little tired from the long journey to the capital."
Ji Huan was worried, "Your health has always been poor. You need to take care of yourself. I'll have someone send you some tonics later so that you can recuperate. After Muqing's wedding is over, we'll have to start preparing for your wedding."
"Mm."
She nodded.
Ji Huan turned to look at the hall before speaking in a low voice, "Actually, I can tell that you don't want to get married at all. Although I really don't like that Minister Shen, there's no other way. You have an engagement and Father is determined to marry you over. You should just put up with it. If you're bullied by the Shen family, tell Second Brother and I'll bring a group of people to destroy the Shen family."
Full of courage.
Ji Wanxin was gratified. Her eyes reddened, "Second Brother treats me the best."
"You and I are blood brothers. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"
She was touched.
Ji Huan's heart ached for her. She had been sickly since she was young and could only stay in the courtyard all day. It made his heart ache.
What a waste of a body.
Otherwise, her life wouldn't have been so bad.
Ji Huan said, "You must be tired. Go rest."
"No, I'm going to see Big Sister. She's getting married tomorrow and will definitely need help."
"It's better if you don't go. With your Big Sister's personality, I'm worried that you'll be wronged."
"It's fine."
She left as she spoke.
