CH 33.1

Ji Mingxi put himself in his shoes and thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt a little more guilty in his heart.

This Brother-in-law was born without a mother by his side. Although Master Wu is a good official, he must be busy with his affairs and cannot take care of his eldest son. The reason why Brother-in-law has developed this cowardly look now, was because he grew up in such a situation, right? After all, a stepmother is definitely not as good as a biological mother. To seek a life under the stepmother is equivalent to finding a shelter under someone else’ roof.

Ji Mingxi said to Ji Yunxi next to him: “Yun Niang, it’s still you who can assess people accurately. I should learn from you more in this regard. One shall not judge people by their appearance. I’m ashamed to say that I thought Wei’an was not a good candidate as your husband, and I really didn’t agree with this marriage in my heart. But now, hearing Mingyan say so, I know that Wei’an’s disposition is so strong. “

Ji Yunxi never spoke since she sat down, because she was studying how to run an ancient gambling house.

She had never known this industry before, so everything was new and needed to be dlearned.

When she heard her Eldest Brother say so, she raised her head: “Eldest Brother had over praised. An Lang is not as good as what Sixth Brother said.”

Ji Yunxi is telling the truth.

When Wu Wei’an was preparing for the Spring Imperial Examination, he had enough sleep, and the quality of his sleep should also be very good. What he ate and drank was even more extravagant, so there was some excess nutrition. She saw that his skin has become more fair and more tender. His originally tall body also seemed to be a little taller than before.

After all, Wu Wei’an is only two years older than her, only in his seventeen, and he can still grow taller.

But in the ears of her several older brothers, Ji Yunxi’s words become completely humble words instead.

Ji Yunxi gently raised her eyebrows, knowing that they had misunderstood, but she was too lazy to explain it.

Forget it, what she said is often true, but many times no one believes it.

Just like what she said before, that Wu Wei’an is very good, they didn’t believe it. She now said that Wu Wei’an was not as good as they thought, and they did not believe it either.

Several of them talked a few more time before Ji Mingxi’s servant suddenly walked in quickly with a solemn expression: “Marquis, the Emperor asks you to enter the palace immediately!”

When Ji Mingxi arrived at the imperial study, there were already many people inside.

The Crown Prince, the Imperial Censor Feng Qishi, the Assistant Minister under him, a physician, and several Ministry Councilors, as well as several prestigious scholars of the Imperial Academy, and even the respectable figures of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are also there.

The Emperor sat on the top with a gentle face. When he saw Ji Mingxi coming in, he said with a tone that had a smile in it: “You have arrived, Mingxi.”

He turned to Feng Qishi and said: “Mingxi probably doesn’t know about it yet. You tell him and let us listen to Mingxi’s explanation.”

When Ji Mingxi saw the people in the study, he had guessed what was probably going on.

However, he acted in a righteous manner, respectfully saluted the Emperor and the Crown Prince neither hurriedly nor slowly, and finally looked at Feng Qishi.

Feng Qishi showed an expression as if he didn’t want it to be like this either, but he had to say it because of his position: “Master Ji, I know how you always conduct yourself, and I know that you will absolutely never do this. But I am the Censor, and it’s my duty to supervise all officials and set the law in order. Please don’t blame me for what I have to say next, Master Ji.”

Ji Mingxi said to Feng Qishi: “Master Feng, you might as well speak bluntly.”

Feng Qishi bowed towards the Emperor and the Crown Prince: “Your Highness, at noon today, this minister received a secret report from many people saying that Master Ji was suspected of leaking the questions from the Spring Imperial Examination.”

The Emperor lowered his head and listened without saying a word, still holding the memorial in his hand.

Although he is already old, it could still be seen that his appearance was not bad when he was young, and his temperament was soft. If it wasn’t because he is sitting on the Dragon chair, perhaps no one would think that he is actually the present Emperor.
