Why are you messing with her? She is full of space beasts.

Chapter 368: First Meeting with the Queen Mother

She didn't want to marry a foreign princess at all. Seeing that the second prince of Cangyue, the only adult, was unwilling to marry her, she was not sad, but a little happy. She was not afraid of being laughed at when she returned to the Western Jin Dynasty, simply because she didn't want to be married to a foreign country as a princess of marriage. However... she was willing that her father and no one in the Western Jin Dynasty would allow her to return to the Western Jin Dynasty.

If the princess who was sent out to marry was sent back to the Western Jin Dynasty, people all over the world would probably laugh at the Western Jin Dynasty.

She didn't understand why her elder sister could stay in the Western Jin Dynasty while she and her third sister had to marry into other countries as princesses.

Jun Luoli became cautious the moment Ji Jiuying sat down. In the past, she would have always belittled Ji Jiuying. But things are different now. There is a world of difference between her and Ji Jiuying now, even though she is a princess.

Now she must be on good terms with Ji Jiuying, whether for benefits or personal reasons.

"Ji Jiuying, long time no see." Jun Luoli sat closer and said with a smile. To others, it seemed as if she, Jun Luoli, and the princess were very familiar with each other.

Ji Jiuying glanced at her and said coldly: "Jun Luoli, there is no need to pretend to be so hard. We could never become friends because of everything that happened before."

Jun Luoli's smile froze on her face. In order not to make others laugh at her, she still looked nonchalant and talked about her own things, not caring whether Ji Jiuying answered or not.

At this time, Jun Buhui obtained the Queen's consent, and the palace maid moved her seat to the left side of Ji Jiuying.

"Sister Xiaojiu, you are finally back."

Jun Buhui smiled and took Ji Jiuying's arm.

"It's been a while since I last saw the Seventh Princess. It seems like she has grown a lot taller~"

"Bu Hui also thinks Sister Xiao Jiu is more beautiful than before."

"Sister Xiaojiu, my brother doesn't want to marry the Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty. My brother wants to marry Sister Xiaojiu. Sister Xiaojiu, can you drive that Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty away?"

Ji Jiuying choked and quickly covered her mouth. How could this girl know that Jun Lintian wanted to marry her? "Seventh Princess, you must not tell this to anyone else, okay?"

Jun Buhui nodded abruptly, thinking that Ji Jiuying was shy. If Ji Jiuying knew what she was thinking, she would probably be shocked.

"This is the spiritual fruit I brought you from another country. Please try it..."

Ji Jiuying took out some spiritual fruits and stuffed them into her mouth. As expected, children are easy to coax. Jun Buhui ate the spiritual fruits happily and completely forgot about asking Ji Jiuying for help.

Jun Luoli didn't know what Ji Jiuying and Jun Buhui were talking about. She just saw them talking and laughing, and they were not as cold to her as they were just now.

She snorted coldly in her heart, thinking that Jun Buhui was really just like her damn mother, being so scheming at such a young age.

At this time, Minister Mo spoke up, "Your Majesty, since the Second Prince is unwilling to marry the Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty, you can let another prince marry the Second Princess. This will not offend the Western Jin Dynasty, and it won't force the Second Prince..."

When Minister Mo said this, the emperor's face darkened, and the court officials below began to whisper to each other.

The emperor was not the only one with a dark face. Concubine Qing's face was even more gloomy. She wished she could torture Minister Mo to death. If Jun Linyu returned to Kyoto, her Qi'er would have an additional competitor. How could she accept this?

Everyone knew who the other person Minister Mo was talking about, and they had to think highly of Minister Mo. He actually dared to mention Jun Linyu at this time and wanted him to return to Beijing. Was he tired of being a minister?

Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes and instantly grasped the key point. So that's it!

One has to admit that Jun Linyu was quite capable. What did he promise to the Western Jin Dynasty when he was far away in the frontier that made the Western Jin Dynasty sacrifice a princess to help him return to Kyoto? She had a hunch that when Jun Linyu returned to Kyoto, the first thing he would do would be to overthrow the emperor and seize the throne.

When Minister Mo saw that the Emperor and the Empress remained silent, cold sweat broke out on his back, but he involuntarily glanced at the Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Ji Jiuying picked up the teacup to hide the sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Minister Mo, you are so brave!" The queen sneered.

Minister Mo was startled and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, Queen, please forgive me. I just wanted to share your worries and I have no ill intentions..."

"Hmph~ What a good one, he has no ill intentions. The Liang family committed a heinous crime that would punish all nine generations of the family. It was a mercy for the Third Prince to be exiled to the frontier with his life spared. Now Minister Mo dares to want the Third Prince to return to the capital and marry a princess from another country. May I ask where does Minister Mo want to put the Emperor?"

"Or, you intend to help the third prince..." Concubine Qing said meaningfully.

Minister Mo knelt on the ground in fear, "Your Majesty, I have no such intention. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"

The emperor was about to speak when a majestic voice came from outside the door, "I think Minister Mo's suggestion is good."

Swish swish!

Everyone at the banquet stood up, all eyes focused on the door.

Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes slightly. The one who called herself "Ai" must be the Empress Dowager. However, she had only been in Cangyue Elementary School for half a year and had never heard of an Empress Dowager in the palace. She couldn't help but become curious. What on earth did this Empress Dowager want to do by showing up at this time?

A palace maid walked slowly towards them, supporting a graceful old lady.

A drake voice came, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down together, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ji Jiuying also knelt down.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Everyone was thinking a lot. The empress dowager had been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the Cining Palace for ten years and had never come out. Could her sudden appearance now be related to the third prince Jun Linyu?

The emperor and empress immediately came down from the main seats and helped the queen mother up, "Mother, why are you here?"

"I haven't left the Cining Palace for ten years. I've been feeling anxious lately, so I came to see you."

"Mother, please take care of yourself!"

Queen Mother Min Jing'er sat down gracefully. Although she was old, her whole body showed a graceful and elegant demeanor. After decades of ups and downs in life, she still maintained the noble temperament of a lady from a wealthy family, and her face was always kind and gentle.

"Emperor, since Tian'er doesn't want to marry, then send Yu'er back to Kyoto. After all, Yu'er is the prince you raised. I think he is not aware of the Liang family's affairs."

When the Queen Mother said this, the faces of the Queen and Concubine Qing darkened, and the court officials looked at each other. If the prince who was demoted to the frontier were to return to the court, there might be another bloody storm.

Even the emperor was silent. The empress dowager took the hands of the emperor and the empress at an angle that no one could see and wrote a few large words on the palms of their hands. The empress and the emperor looked at each other and nodded.

"Minister Mo, get up!"

Minister Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Queen!"

Returning to his seat with lingering fear, Murong Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, God is really helping me!
