Although Ji Yuan can only be regarded as accompanying him, although he is still relatively marginal, although except for the very beginning, Emperor Hongwu did not talk to Ji Yuan much after that. Instead, he was busy chatting with his prospective in-laws, and both parties worked hard together. Bring Yin Qing and Princess Changping into their own emotions.
But it doesn’t mean that the people present don’t care about Ji Yuan. In fact, Emperor Hongwu still cares about Ji Yuan, a commoner, not to mention the Yin family.
It’s just that the emperor was observing secretly. The Yin family was afraid that Ji Yuan wouldn’t like such a social occasion, so they didn’t say anything to Ji Yuan to avoid disturbing him.
At this moment, he saw Ji Yuan drinking alone and shaking his head slightly with a half-smile. Emperor Hongwu, who had just said that Princess Changping was more knowledgeable than several princes, suddenly directed the conversation to Ji Yuan.
“Why is Mr. Ji shaking his head? I heard Yin Qing said that you are his elder, which shows that you have a very close relationship with the Yin family. Do you think the lonely Princess Changping and Yin Qing look like a good match? ”
When the emperor first came to the Yin Mansion, he tried to hide it and asked Yin Qing to take the princess for a walk or something, but it was not an explicit purpose. Now the conversation at the dinner table was lively, and Yin Qing and Princess Changping did not react too much. There was a showdown between the emperor and the Yin family who were equally interested after learning about the emperor’s origin.
After hearing this, Ji Yuan turned to face the emperor and cupped his hands slightly.
“Yin Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess are both smart and talented people. If they can be together, it is indeed a match made in heaven. Ji has no objection.”
No matter what, this is still a matter between the two families. Seeing that the two parties involved, Yin Qing and Princess Changping, were eating silently and occasionally laughing and chiming in, it was not his turn to trick someone into taking care of this matter.
“Oh, what Mr. Ji was thinking just now has nothing to do with Yin Qing and Chang Ping, but what interesting story can you tell me?”
The emperor asked further, and Ji Yuan answered with a smile.
“That’s not the case. I just heard you talk about the children’s childhood, and Ji also thought of Yin Qing back then. It’s just that Ji was thinking deeply and fell into memories, and he didn’t come back to his senses until just now.”
Emperor Hongwu nodded.
“It seems that Mr. Ji and the Yin family do have a deep connection and friendship.”
“Haha, Ji came to Ning’an County to settle down at the beginning of that year. Master Yin was his only friend in the county, so naturally he was more worried about him.”
Princess Changping over there is also a very thoughtful person, and it is rare for her to divert the topic away from the subject. Moreover, she is also very curious about Ji Yuan and the former Yin family. When she hears a certain word in Ji Yuan’s words, she also asks Finished sentence.
“Mr. Ji calls Prime Minister Yin ‘Master Yin’?”
You must know that nowadays, both inside and outside the court, Yin Zhaoxian is respectfully addressed as “Yin Gong” or “Yin Xiang”. Even relatives of the emperor are mostly the same. In some places, they are even called “Yin Wenqu”. Ji Yuan’s “Yin Master” is very special. Be independent.
This was originally a matter of habit, but after thinking about it for a moment, I felt that it was not the case. After thinking about it for a while, I spoke.
“In the beginning, Master Yin was the county scholar, and everyone in Ning’an County respectfully called him Master Yin. Now, although he is already the auxiliary minister of the country, Ji still feels that he has a reputation for governing the world, and he also cares about education. As a great scholar, he was respectfully called ‘Master Yin’.”
“That’s it!”
Emperor Hongwu looked at Ji Yuan’s neither humble nor arrogant appearance. Even if he didn’t study it carefully, he felt more and more that Ji Yuan was a talent. As the saying goes, Ji Yuan lived in seclusion in the city and could be close friends with Yin Zhaoxian. His talent was definitely not low.
Although Yin Zhaoxian had said before that Ji Yuan did not like being an official, Emperor Hongwu couldn’t help but extend an olive branch at this time.
“Have Mr. Ji ever participated in the imperial examination and what ranking did he obtain?”
Everyone present was not stupid. Upon hearing this question, even Yin Zhong felt that the emperor was showing appreciation for his talents.
Ji Yuan was amused. He had taken the college entrance examination in his previous life, so he shook his head and answered.
“Ji has never participated in the imperial examination and has no intention to participate. He knows that he is not qualified to be an official.”
“Oh…”
Emperor Hongwu nodded, not angry at all, but did not stop there.
“Sir and Yin Aiqing are good friends. I think they both have academic attainments. I wonder if they have written any books or poems?”
What book? The most common ones are magical powers.
“When I replied to Your Majesty, I didn’t write a book or biography, and I don’t have any particularly outstanding talents. Master Yin and I are just friends because of old friendship.”
Ji Yuansuan gave a formulaic answer.
“Hey, it seems that sir really has no intention of becoming an official!”
Emperor Hongwu sighed quietly. He did not believe that Ji Yuan was incompetent. Not everyone could have this calm demeanor in front of the emperor. These evasive words this person said may be true. The unintentional government and opposition.
Emperor Hongwu didn’t want to push too hard. After all, Yin Zhaoxian was still around, so he could only let it go.
“Come on, everyone, please don’t stand still and move your chopsticks. I’m just asking around at the dinner table. The most important thing today is Princess Changping and Yin Qing.”
“Yes, yes, eat vegetables!”
Yin Zhaoxian breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a long time since he felt this slightly tense and exciting feeling. He was a little afraid of the emperor’s anger just now. It was not that he was worried about punishing Ji Yuan, but that he was afraid of making Ji Yuan angry as well. .
This time at the dinner table, Princess Changping and Yin Qing sat next to each other. In this kind of feudal society, when the man and woman are not married, such a row of seats is very disrespectful. It can only be said that it is deliberate.
At the dinner table, his father and Yin Xiangyou began to chat, and his mother-in-law and Mrs. Yin also chatted with smiles. Then they quietly approached Yin Qing, without turning their faces, but their voices passed softly.
“Shilang Yin, Mr. Ji, has he really never taken part in the imperial examination or written a book? According to previous introductions, he only lives in a small courtyard in Ning’an County. So what does he do and where does his income come from?”
Such questions are a bit probing and not etiquette. Princess Changping did not ask them in public, so she asked Yin Qing, who was more familiar with them, in private.
Yin Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Princess Changping. This princess was indeed smart, and her livelihood was a big deal for the common people, but it was a trivial matter for such a wealthy person who had no worries about food and clothing since childhood. It should have been The least easy thing to think of.
At this moment, the Yin family’s servants were bringing up two plates of steaming crispy chicken. Perhaps they had used enough ingredients and had just come out of the pot. The aroma of the ingredients mixed with the chicken immediately reverberated throughout the room, overwhelming the table. Other dishes served.
Yin Qing was just trying to find a reason to answer Princess Changping when she opened her mouth and heard a sudden “bang” from outside.
Almost at the same time another voice sounded: “Ouch…”
The sound came suddenly, and the people at the table fell silent, while the guards beside them became slightly nervous and remained attentive. Some of them moved a few steps so that they could rush to the window at any time. And I also believe that the fellow guards outside should have already taken action, and someone will go to the location where the sound came from to investigate.
Yin Qingze’s heart tightened. He could hear that it was Hu Yun’s voice. He subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan, only to find that the latter was sighing slightly and smiling. Seeing Yin Qing looking at him, he moved towards Xiangsu The chicken was ordered.
As a fox, Hu Yun outside the house was too short, and he didn’t want to use his claws to scratch the wall of Yin’s house, so he found a thick wooden stick to prop up against the window while observing in secret, and squatted down Go up and use that bit of supernatural power to see through the window paper and observe the situation inside.
With Hu Yun’s ability, it would not be a problem to support his balance, but as soon as the crispy chicken came up, the fox’s soul was taken away.
Hu Yun fell down and ran away in a panic, but his mind was filled with the picture and aroma of crispy chicken, and his heart was full of indignation.
‘It’s not fair, it’s not fair, everyone gets to eat, but the little paper crane and I don’t get to eat. No, the little paper crane doesn’t have to eat, but I don’t get to eat! ’
The fox jumped directly onto the roof of the dining hall, but as soon as he went up, he suddenly saw two guards with knives on the ridge of the roof. They also leaped up as light as a swallow. They walked like ghosts and made no sound at all. .
‘Oh, that’s not good! ’
Hu Yun hurriedly flicked his tail, jumped off the roof in the other direction, and used his magic in a panic. The two guards only saw a red shadow jumping off the roof.
After a while, a guard came into the dining hall to report.
“Your Majesty, the noise just now came from a fiery red cat. There is nothing unusual about it.”
“Hehehe…it turns out to be a cat. Look at how nervous these guards are. Could there be an assassin in Xiang Yin’s house?”
Emperor Hongwu smiled and adjusted the atmosphere again, Yin Zhaoxian said hurriedly.
“Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. All the guards are loyal and loyal. No matter how careful you are in escorting your Majesty, you can never be too careful!”
Yin Qing couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of Hu Yun greedy for crispy chicken. Princess Changping looked at him, leaned closer and asked.
“Does Minister Yin know about that cat?”
“I know, I know very well, but a greedy cat, especially loves to eat chicken. I guess it was stimulated by the aroma of the crispy chicken that was served.”
“Do you still have a red cat in your house? I have never seen such a cat. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com”
“There is no wonder in the universe!”
While Yin Qing was talking casually with a smile, he dipped his finger in some wine and drew the outline of a cat on the table.
“The painting is really good, I am even more looking forward to Mr. Yin painting a portrait for me!”
“Your Highness the Princess will be satisfied!”
Neither of them noticed that the emperor’s concubine and the Yin family’s attention was quietly focused on them. They were very happy to see the two of them talking and laughing in private.
Even Ji Yuan was a little surprised. He opened his eyes wider and looked around, and saw that the two people’s personal auras had become more consistent in a short period of time.
‘This boy is really good at flirting! ’
