Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Upon hearing that Ji Xiaosong's request was for a letter severing ties with his family, both the Emperor and Empress were undoubtedly taken aback.

They must know about Ji Xiaosong's background.

Before this, they thought that Ji Xiaosong would think twice about the position of Grand Secretary Ji, since as the Crown Princess, the support of her maternal family would give her a certain status among the high-ranking officials.

Between the daughter of the Grand Secretary and an orphan, anyone would choose the identity of the Grand Secretary's daughter.

The Emperor and Empress exchanged a glance, and the Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought this through? I know the Ji family has been neglecting you, but after all, being the eldest daughter of the Grand Secretary is a great help to you."

Ji Xiaosong smiled and said, "Father, I don't need such empty titles. Besides, isn't the status of the Crown Princess enough to be noble? Even if I acknowledge my maternal family, they may not necessarily become my help in the future, and may even become my burden."

Chu Qingyun chimed in, “Father, Mother, what Song’er said is absolutely right. I had already investigated before and found out that the Ji family intended for the Second Miss Ji to become the Princess Consort of Wu. We are all very clear about what the Prince of Wu is thinking. Cutting off this relationship is also a way to protect ourselves.”

"What? He, as one of my close advisors, actually had such thoughts?"

"Yes, Father, so it's best to sever the marriage between Song'er and the Ji family."

The emperor remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Since that's the case, then we'll find a reason to sever this relationship after you return to your parents' home. Otherwise, if you sever the relationship without a reason, you'll be criticized. Moreover, if you sever the relationship with your maternal family right after marrying into the royal family, it will become a topic of conversation in the future. Although as a member of the royal family you are not afraid of rumors, I do not want your reputation to be damaged."

Ji Xiaosong knew the emperor would agree, so she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor."

"Alright, today is the day you and Qingyun serve tea to me, so don't delay."

The Empress gently helped Ji Xiaosong up and quickly changed the subject.

Granny Gui brought over two cups of tea. Ji Xiaosong moved gracefully to the Emperor and Empress, bowed deeply, and said softly, "Daughter-in-law Ji Xiaosong greets Father Emperor and Mother Empress. May Father Emperor and Mother Empress enjoy good health and longevity."

The emperor smiled and said, "Rise."

Ji Xiaosong slowly rose, raised the first cup of tea to the emperor with both hands, and said in a soft but clear voice, "Father, please have some tea."

The emperor took the teacup, took a small sip, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, the Crown Princess has put in a lot of thought."

He took out a token and handed it to Ji Xiaosong.

"This is a token that can mobilize eight hundred servants in the Eastern Palace. It is also a power that you, as the Crown Princess, should have. I am giving it to you today, and I hope that you will stay true to your principles."

"Thank you, Father."

Ji Xiaosong then turned to the Empress, bowed again, offered the second cup of tea, and respectfully said, "Mother, please have some tea."

The Empress, with a kind expression, took the teacup and looked at Ji Xiaosong with gentle eyes: "Get up. In the future, you must get along well with the Crown Prince and help the royal family to have many children."

Ji Xiaosong bowed her head and replied, "Your daughter-in-law will follow Mother's teachings."

The empress took out a seal and a set of jewelry, which was clearly extraordinary.

"As the Crown Princess, you will be managing royal affairs with me in the future, and this seal is your proof. The headdress is part of my dowry, and there is only one set in the world."

Ji Xiaosong accepted it and said, "Thank you, Mother."

Once the tea ceremony is complete, the process is considered finished.

"Father, Mother, your daughter-in-law also has a greeting gift."

After Ji Xiaosong finished speaking, she turned around and gave Zixi a look, and Zixi quickly led the palace maids behind her into the hall.

“Father, this is a golden ruyi made of pure gold. Your daughter-in-law presents it to you.”

The emperor's expression showed surprise for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"You've got a good idea. This golden ruyi could support quite a few people. How about I melt it down and use it to pay the soldiers' pensions?"

"Since the daughter-in-law has been given to Father Emperor, then everything shall be handled by Father Emperor."

Afterwards, Ji Xiaosong had ten bolts of soft-light brocade presented to him.

"Mother, this is the Soft Light Brocade that your daughter-in-law presents to you. The Soft Light Brocade is a new fabric developed by my cloth shop, and it took ten years to make only ten bolts. If it is made into a dress, it will be like flowing light when worn, and when you walk, you will be like a fairy descending to earth, with every step radiant."

Everyone loves beauty, and even the Empress, who had seen countless treasures in the world, could not help but marvel at the extraordinary quality of this fabric.

"I will have the Imperial Wardrobe make it into a dress today, and you must come and see it then. I originally thought that you were having a lot of trouble living alone, but I did not expect you to achieve such a feat."

"My daughter-in-law has been living alone for many years. Fortunately, she became a disciple of Master Xuanyuan and studied under several other masters. That's how she managed to accumulate some wealth."

"Master Xuanyuan? Are you talking about Master Xuanyuan who can summon rain with a wave of his hand during droughts?"

"Yes. However, my master has already ascended to heaven and has disappeared from this world. I learned my master's skills, which is why I was able to heal Qingyun's legs."

Ji Xiaosong spoke of these things with a calm demeanor, and did not become arrogant because she had become a disciple of such a person, which impressed the Emperor and Empress.

"With your great talent, how could the Ji family treat you so poorly? They're really foolish!"

The emperor was heartbroken. His trusted advisor was so muddle-headed in handling family matters. Could he still shoulder important responsibilities in the future?

"The Ji family is unaware of my abilities; they only think of me as a countrywoman with a bad temper."

"No wonder you've given up on them, which is why you've been hiding your talents. My child, now that you've married Qingyun, the Empress and I will be your parents from now on. You don't need to envy others anymore."

"Thank you, Father Emperor and Mother Empress. Your daughter-in-law understands."

After serving the tea and receiving the gifts, Ji Xiaosong and Chu Qingyun returned to the East Palace.

It was getting late, and Ji Xiaosong was about to arrange dinner when she was told that the Crown Prince's Palace served two meals a day.

Do not eat after noon.

Previously, Ji Xiaosong used the small kitchen in the Ji family's courtyard, so she didn't know what the Ji family's rules were.

But now that she's at the East Palace, she understands that the royal family eats only two meals a day.

"No, I'll be hungry. From today onwards, the Crown Prince will eat three meals a day. As long as there's no waste, it's okay to eat more. You don't need to worry about the Crown Prince's expenses from now on. The seal I gave you before wasn't just for you to use to support the army and appease the people, but also to make our own lives a little easier."

Chu Qingyun knew his place perfectly; he was just a kept man.

Aside from absolute power, he was a penniless man.

If he is extravagant and dissolute, he will certainly not lack money.

Unfortunately, the royal family members were not the type to squander money recklessly. Given their family tradition, they were destined not to have much money left for themselves.

"Song'er, you are the Crown Princess, the mistress of the Eastern Palace. You can do whatever you want, and I will fully cooperate!"

What a joke! People who live off women have no right to speak, and Chu Qingyun understood this perfectly well.

That very evening, everyone in the Eastern Palace realized that the newly married Crown Princess not only had money, but also absolute power.

She didn't need to do anything; the servants spontaneously obeyed all of Ji Xiaosong's orders.

Money makes the world go round, but without money, even ghosts won't open the door.

This applies everywhere.

On the day of the bride's return visit, Chun Cui came to the East Palace early in the morning, ostensibly to help Ji Xiaosong count the gifts for her return visit.
