Chapter 328 The Empress, the Hostage from the Neighboring Country Has Returned in Battle (Part 12)
Just then, another letter arrived from Vientiane.
It was mentioned that in another year, it would be the originally scheduled date to bring Ji Yu'an back.
The Vientiane Kingdom wants to take Ji Yu'an back ahead of schedule.
We hope that when the envoys come this year, Ji Yu'an can be brought back with them.
Vientiane has developed rapidly in recent years.
They are also very ambitious.
After Ji Yu'an returns, the Kingdom of Wanxiang may want to confront the Kingdom of Fengming again.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Vientiane would have to send another hostage.
The Empress originally intended for the Second Princess to marry Ji Yu'an.
This way, the two countries can maintain peace for several more decades.
The Phoenix Kingdom is unwilling to go to war.
Once war breaks out, it is the ordinary people who will suffer.
Maintaining the status quo is fine.
However, in the Kingdom of Wanxiang, men are superior to women, while in the Kingdom of Fengming, women are superior to men.
The two countries face numerous difficulties in forming a marriage alliance.
There are many things that need to be worked out.
The party that backs down becomes the weaker party.
If Fengming Kingdom becomes the weaker party, then the iron cavalry of Wanxiang Kingdom will march into Fengming Kingdom.
The Empress and Jiang He had spoken.
Jiang He was unwilling to back down.
If the Kingdom of Vientiane wants to form a marriage alliance, then let Ji Yu'an marry the Second Princess.
It's impossible for the princess of Fengming Kingdom to marry into Wanxiang Kingdom.
If the Kingdom of Wanxiang is unwilling to form a marriage alliance and instead wants to engage in armed conflict, the Kingdom of Fengming will not be afraid.
To exchange a temporary war for lasting peace.
The empress was not in good health before.
I am quite worried.
He was afraid that if he left like this, he would leave such a terrible situation to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess also likes Ji Yu'an.
The Empress was very worried about the future of Fengming Kingdom.
Fortunately, Jiang He has come to her senses and is no longer chasing after Ji Yu'an.
Moreover, Jiang He found a prescription to help her recover.
Jiang He was also a filial son, so he personally brewed the medicine and brought it to her.
The Empress is in very good health now.
I feel like I can live for another ten years or more.
The imperial physician also said that he was in a good mood and his health had improved, and that he should continue to maintain this good mood.
Holding onto negative emotions is never good for your health.
With her around, the future of Fengming Kingdom can still be planned slowly.
She can hold on for a few more years, giving Jiang He more time to grow.
If war really breaks out with the Kingdom of Wanxiang, and Jiang He goes to the battlefield, she can still protect this rear area.
The Empress did not think highly of the Second Princess and Ji Yu'an.
If the Second Princess could control Ji Yu'an and get him to stay willingly, that would be fine.
However, Ji Yu'an was arrogant and ambitious, and he was determined to return to Wanxiang Kingdom.
The second princess had no control over him at all.
Unfortunately, the second princess was in love with Ji Yu'an.
If she directly objects, the Second Princess might become even more insistent, and she might even run away with Ji Yu'an.
Just like Jiang He before.
Unless you figure it out yourself, no amount of persuasion will work.
Since Ji Yu'an was destined to leave, the Empress naturally had no intention of spending money on him.
Why would she give money to people from Vientiane?
We've already done more than enough by not letting him go hungry.
The Empress was unwilling to help the Second Princess.
No matter how much the second princess complained about being poor, he remained unmoved.
The second princess pestered the empress for several days.
Today is Ji Yu'an's birthday, but the Second Princess hasn't prepared his gift yet.
The Second Princess had already taken her belongings to the Golden Jade Pavilion to secretly sell some of them, and then buy a gift for Ji Yu'an.
As a result, a big customer came to Jin Yu Ge and bought all the suitable gifts.
All that's left are some misshapen and broken fruits.
Anyway, the Second Princess wouldn't be interested.
Even the Second Princess couldn't bear to give away something worth tens of taels of silver.
It will be a long time before Jin Yu Ge launches its next new product.
Having no other choice, the second princess went to the palace to see the Empress again today.
Ji Yu'an had been waiting for the Second Princess for a long time.
But the second princess never came.
When the Second Princess's people came over, they told Ji Yu'an to go to the restaurant first.
The second princess will go to the palace first and will come over later.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Ji Yu'an went to the restaurant first.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Ji Yu'an asked the manager if the Second Princess had booked a private room.
The innkeeper said that the Second Princess had not booked a private room in advance.
Moreover, the restaurant's private rooms are already fully booked for today.
There are only seats available in the lobby now.
If you absolutely need a private room, you may have to wait until the guests in the room leave before you can clean it up.
Ji Yu'an's expression darkened when he learned that the Second Princess had not reserved a private room in advance.
The Second Princess knew perfectly well that it was his birthday today, yet she hadn't even booked a private room.
Moreover, there was no sign of anyone there, and Ji Yu'an stood there feeling very awkward.
The restaurant here is the best in Fengming Kingdom.
The guests who come and go are all people of a certain status in Fengming Kingdom.
They were also familiar with Ji Yu'an.
Someone is still calling out to Ji Yu'an, saying that if there are no seats available, he can share a table with them.
"Yes, we still have several dishes left on our table."
You can't eat much by yourself, so just eat some here.
"Yes, this is enough for you."
It had meat and vegetables, a very generous spread.
"Share a table with us, and you'll save time waiting."
"We're splitting the bill among ourselves, so if you join us, you can split it with us."
You can get so much food for just ten taels of silver, you're definitely not losing out.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to afford two dishes with ten taels of silver."
Ji Yu'an looked at the group of people over there.
They were all people he didn't get along with.
Basically, every time we meet, I have to make a few sarcastic remarks.
These people didn't really want Ji Yu'an to share a table for dinner; they just wanted to annoy him.
The table was covered with leftovers.
Make him spend ten taels of silver to eat their leftovers.
Ji Yu'an was furious.
I'm furious with these people, furious with the shopkeeper, furious with the Second Princess.
To make him suffer so much on his birthday.
Just as Ji Yu'an was about to leave, the Second Princess entered.
"Yu'an, why are you standing here? Shouldn't you go to the private room first?"
"There are no private rooms available at this time."
When Ji Yu'an saw the Second Princess, he was still angry and didn't give her a friendly look.
"It's okay, I've already booked it in advance."
The second princess gave her name to the shopkeeper.
This was a private room that she had asked someone else to book for her.
The innkeeper checked and confirmed that there was indeed a private room reserved by this young master.
The innkeeper immediately instructed the waiter to take the second princess to the private room.
"Yu'an, let's go."
Although I don't know why Ji Yu'an is giving me that look.
However, today is Ji Yu'an's birthday, and the Second Princess also felt guilty about the gift, so she patiently coaxed Ji Yu'an.
Ji Yu'an's expression softened slightly when he learned that the Second Princess had booked a private room in advance.
The hall was full of people watching the spectacle, so I quickly followed the Second Princess upstairs.
