Ye Hui came out after packing up her things and saw Ji Zhen peeking at the door stealthily, so she restrained her actions and stood behind her quietly, with only half of her head exposed, looking out.

However, in the spacious outer room, there was only the loyal and brave Marquis Yu Min, who was picking and choosing snacks, and a few servants who bowed their heads to serve him. The slanting warm sun made the whole room warm. The breeze blew through the window, bringing the sweet fragrance of the blue flowers that were in full bloom under the window into the room, refreshing and intoxicating.

Ye Hui drew her head back blankly, poked Ji Zhen's shoulder, and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Junior Master, why are you spying on her here instead of going to greet the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

Ji Zhen was startled by Ye Hui's sudden appearance. She turned around abruptly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. She quickly pulled her back two steps and whispered:

"What are you doing? You scared me to death! Didn't I tell you to go find Ye Feng?"

"I was just about to go. You looked like you were going to ambush someone here, so I wanted to help you."

Ye Hui rolled up her sleeves out of loyalty, but when she thought of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery sitting over there, she quickly put her sleeves down and asked Ji Zhen worriedly:

"Uncle Junior Master, are you going to deal with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

Ji Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately pulled Ye Hui back to the inner room. After the door was closed, he resisted the urge to roll his eyes and patiently asked:

"Why should I deal with her for no reason?"

Ye Hui was pulled back by Ji Zhen, so she stopped covering up. She stiffened her neck and said in dissatisfaction:

"That loyal and brave marquis, relying on his overwhelming power, took advantage of your injury and the absence of Master Zhao to come and force you to marry him! How can you tolerate this?"

"You don't like Yu Bojun?" Ji Zhen raised his eyebrows.

When Ye Hui heard Ji Zhen asking her, she immediately perked up and whispered in her ear:

"Uncle Master, I didn't tell you because I was worried about your health! When you were unconscious, General Yu came every day. He didn't call the gatekeeper, and he didn't come in. He just stood outside the gate like a door god. His face was dark, and he scared people coming and going so much that they didn't dare to walk on our side. He blocked half of our street. It was really outrageous!

Young Master Zhao was originally accompanying you, but later I heard that he had been standing outside for a day and a night, so I invited him to the guest house, and the two of us talked for a long time. "

"What? Did Youqing meet Bojun?"

Ji Zhen suddenly remembered the letter Zhao Youqing left for her, which asked her to marry Yu Bojun as a concubine. Could this be the result of their discussion?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Ye Hui raised her eyebrows and said mysteriously:

"If it weren't for our Young Master Zhao coming forward, I don't know how long that door god would have stood at the door, causing so much ridicule. Fortunately, he left, otherwise when the Second Young Master came, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Ah? Second Young Master?

Ji Zhen was somewhat confused by what Ye Hui said, so she had to interrupt her and asked:

"Second Young Master, who is this?"

"The second son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, Yu Jingxi."

Ye Hui glanced at Ji Zhen as a matter of course and continued:

"The Second Young Master is obviously a scholar. He informed the gatekeeper and handed over a note, showing great courtesy. He knew that Junior Master was still ill and couldn't see guests, so he stayed at the gatehouse for a while and then left. Then, today he sent a snow lotus that blooms once every ten years, tomorrow he sent an old ginseng that takes five hundred years to grow, and even the most difficult to collect trumpet creeper honey from Ziyun Mountain, all of which were brought to our house in jars. You see, the Second Young Master sent so many good materials for making medicine to our house like a stream of water, it was really..."

The more Ye Hui spoke, the more excited she became. Her eyes sparkled as if she was about to rush into the medicine room and fiddle with all the herbs to develop some new medicine. Ji Zhen couldn't help but look at her sideways and coughed lightly. Ye Hui came back to her senses, laughed dryly, and said awkwardly:

"So, the Second Young Master is much better than General Yu who can only be a door god! Junior Master, if you really want to agree to the proposal of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, you must not marry General Yu, but marry the Second Young Master!"

"No nonsense."

Ji Zhen immediately interrupted Ye Hui's words. She straightened her sleeves that were wrinkled by Ye Hui, glanced at her calmly, and said indifferently:

"You want me to marry Jingxi. Is it for my own good, or is it to make it easier for you to collect medicinal materials and make medicine?"

Ye Hui's thoughts were exposed, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she said stubbornly:

"How can I do that? Our palace is so big and has so many medicinal herbs. Do we still need to plunder other people's houses? I see that the Second Young Master treats you well, and he is more handsome than General Yu. Isn't he a better match for you, Junior Master? If it really doesn't work, you can just take one or two. It doesn't matter if you keep the wealth within the family. Having more husbands means more opportunities!"

"What nonsense?"

Ji Zhen's face turned cold, and Ye Hui immediately shut up.

"Hey, Junior Master, don't be angry. I'm just giving you a suggestion, just a suggestion."

She boldly said one more thing, stole a glance at Ji Zhen's face that seemed to be about to get angry, and immediately quickly slipped out of the side door of the Bisha kitchen to the backyard to find Ye Feng. Only Ji Zhen was left, and was speechless because of her ridiculous words.

However, Ye Hui's words reminded her of what Yu Jingxi had said to her, that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery wanted to marry him to Wang Yan, the Minister of War, as a concubine. She had promised to help him, and this time the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery took the initiative to come to her house, which saved her some effort.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhen did not delay any longer and hurried to the outer room.

Yu Min, who was sitting under the window, was holding a candy in her hand in a trance. When she saw Ji Zhen coming over, she motioned for her to sit opposite her, spread the candy in her palm to show her, and said with a smile:

"Last month, my silly son suddenly asked the housekeeper to find him a kind of candy. He didn't know the name, but he knew it looked small, translucent and beautiful, and tasted sweet but not greasy. As a result, my poor old housekeeper ran around the capital for several times, but couldn't find the thing he was talking about.

I asked him if it was Jingjing Sugar. He said no, it was a kind of sugar that tasted better than Jingjing Sugar. He had tasted it once at the Ninth Prince’s birthday party and thought it was good. He thought you might like it. The old housekeeper couldn’t find it in the capital, so he asked me to help ask in the palace.

Bojun has seldom asked me for anything since he was a child, but this time he asked me for your help. How can I not help him?

I sent someone to inquire about it. Xiao Zhenzhen, guess what? "

Yu Min threw the candy in her hand into her mouth and raised her eyebrows at Ji Zhen.

Ji Zhen didn't say anything, because she didn't know about this. Fortunately, Yu Min didn't plan to wait for her answer. She continued to talk while chewing the candy:

"After asking around, I found out that the candy was indeed made in the palace, by the Ninth Prince's exclusive royal chef in Chonghua Palace. I heard that they made a small jar of it, and they treasured it like a treasure, putting it in a glass jar. They didn't eat it themselves, and they didn't allow others to touch it."

Having said that, Yu Min looked at Ji Zhen again and asked with a serious look:

"I heard it's a glass jar as big as two fists, with a ruby ​​embedded in the top of the lid. The Ninth Prince likes to play with it in his hands from time to time. I wonder if Xiao Zhenzhen has ever seen it?"

Ji Zhen was stunned at the moment. Don’t tell me, she had really seen it.
