Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous
Chapter 44 Old Friends
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhen turned around and saw a person standing out from the crowd. It was Yun Zi, whom she had almost forgotten.
He looked thinner than when he first entered the mansion, wearing a light blue brocade gown with no belt tied around his waist. His slightly empty appearance made his already slender figure look even thinner.
It's been a short while since I last saw him, how come he has become so thin? Ji Zhen looked Yun Zi up and down and couldn't help but frowning.
Because Yunzi's identity was really embarrassing, Ji Zhen brought him into the Prince's Mansion and placed him in Lanyun Pavilion, and never took care of him again.
In Wen Daoxing's words, Yunzi is the kind of person who has an extra mouth to eat for free because of Ji Zhen's obsession with sex.
However, no matter what, Wen Daoxing shouldn't withhold Yunzi's food and not let him eat enough, right?
Just as he was thinking, Yunzi had already walked in front of Ji Zhen, bowed respectfully to her and was about to kneel down, but Ji Zhen grabbed him and pulled him up. She pinched his bony wrist and frowned, saying:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so thin? Do you eat well?"
Yunzi knew that he had a special identity. In the Prince's Mansion, unless summoned by Ji Zhen, he would stay quietly in his Lanyun Pavilion and never go out. He did not dare to provoke Ji Zhen.
Ji Zhen has been staying in Dongdaying recently, and Yunzi hasn't seen her for a long time.
Today, for Jiang Yan, he left Lanyun Pavilion without permission. He was a little worried, but Ji Zhen didn't scold him, but showed concern for him. She frowned and asked him seriously whether he had eaten well, which made Yunzi distracted for a moment.
It was as if he had returned to that winter many years ago, when a little girl put her fox fur cloak around him and asked him the same question in a serious tone.
Yunzi lowered his eyes, his thick black eyelashes concealing all the emotions in his eyes. He let Ji Zhen hold him and said softly:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Slave, everything is fine."
Yunzi's obedience made Ji Zhen feel even more uncomfortable.
He was only sixteen years old, the same age as Li Muyun, but because he was trapped in Xiulefang, he lost his own vitality early.
She still remembered that when Yunzi first entered the Prince's Mansion, he climbed into her bed as a male favorite, but he didn't expect to be stabbed by Zhao Youqing. Since then, he has been very obedient. Unless she called him, Yunzi would never appear in her field of vision.
She was thankful for this before, after all, he didn't have a very high opinion of her, and bed climbing was probably just a means of survival for him.
Now it seems that imprisoning himself in Lanyun Pavilion is not a good thing.
After all, he is not her canary, and which free bird does not yearn for the sky?
Ji Zhen sighed imperceptibly and let go of Yun Zi. He pointed at the twenty men in the courtyard and asked softly:
"You just said that there are old friends of yours among these people? Who are they?"
Yunzi's eyes dimmed a little when Ji Zhen let go of his hand. He suddenly felt a desire to catch her. But this thought disappeared completely when he met Jiang Yan's gaze.
He lowered his head even lower, bowed respectfully to Ji Zhen and said:
"Your Highness, it's Jiang Yan."
"Jiang Yan?" Ji Zhen's eyes suddenly became sharper and he looked back and forth between Yun Zi and Jiang Yan.
Yunzi, who came from Xiu Le Fang, actually knew Jiang Yan, the spy hired by Li Yuanzhen?
Xiulefang is the territory of Princess Xianyao Li Yuanying, and Yunzi can be said to be Li Yuanying's man. This is why Ji Zhen has always ignored him. Who would like others to have eyes on him?
Moreover, Jiang Yan was Li Yuanzhen's domestic spy, and was sent to Xirong by her a long time ago. How did he know Yunzi?
The term "old friend" is too broad and ambiguous. Ji Zhen does not trust people who are labeled with this term from the bottom of her heart.
Yunzi was very smart. When he saw Ji Zhen remained silent, he knew that she was doubting his relationship with Jiang Yan, so he immediately explained to her:
"Your Highness, I was a childhood friend of Jiang Yan and grew up in Changning. Later, the bandits started a riot and I was separated from my family. I was sold to Xiu Le Fang and never saw Jiang Yan again. Today, I heard that Your Highness brought someone named Jiang Yan into the mansion. I was so excited that I dared to make such an unreasonable request. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
After saying that, Yun Zi lifted his robe and was about to kneel down to apologize, but Ji Zhen pulled him back, clapped his hands, and sighed in a soothing tone:
"I didn't know you two were from Changning. In that case, let Jiang Yan stay with you tonight."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace." Yun Zi thanked respectfully.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness." Jiang Yan, who had been silent all this time, also followed Yun Zi and bowed.
After arranging the two people, Ji Zhen turned to Wen Daoxing and instructed:
"Since Jiang Yan lives in Lanyun Pavilion, the other 19 people can be arranged in the courtyard next to Lanyun Pavilion. I remember that there is no servant quarters in that courtyard, so it should be large enough for them to live in."
Wen Daoxing keenly noticed that Ji Zhen's expression seemed a little strange, but he couldn't say anything in front of everyone, so he just nodded, took the task, and told the servants to do their work.
After finishing the work here, Ji Zhen went to the study alone.
The wind that had been restless all night finally brought rain clouds, which pressed heavily on the dome, and after a muffled thunder, heavy rain poured down on the world.
The raindrops were getting bigger and bigger, hitting the broad leaves of the banana tree under the study window with a snapping sound. Soon, the smell of grass and soil on the ground was replaced by moist water vapor. It floated into the open window of the study and went straight to the collar of Ji Zhen who was standing in front of the window, making people feel cold for no reason.
Ji Zhen looked at the lead-gray rain clouds through the rain curtain, and her memories drifted to Changning.
It seemed that the weather was similar back then. The young girl was making trouble in the general's study, drawing with a purple-gold wolf-hair brush. The general sat aside, concentrating on the war report sent from the northwest.
Suddenly, the young Ji Zhen discovered something was wrong. She turned around and saw the general staring at the battle report in his hand with a furrowed brow.
"Mother, what's the matter?"
Ji Zhen crawled to the side of the general and reached out for the battle report in her hand, wanting to see what could have happened that could have made the general, who remained calm even when facing a catastrophe, frown so hard.
The general looked at his naughty daughter tenderly, put the battle report aside, picked up Ji Zhen and sat her on his knees, and asked softly:
"Zhenzhen wants to see the battle report?"
"Well, I want to see what happened that made mother so unhappy." Ji Zhen asked seriously.
"Zhenzhen, aren't you afraid of hearing bad news?" The general's voice was very calm.
"Don't be afraid. The news on the battlefield has nothing to do with winning or losing. It all involves human lives. How can there be good news or bad news?"
Ji Zhen's soft voice had a heaviness that didn't belong to her age. This made the general stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.
"Good! You are worthy of being my daughter. You have courage and insight."
