Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 211 Happy to have a daughter
Ji Anyu clenched the pendant tightly. "This thing can actually be used to mobilize troops. It fell into my hands without knowing why. Now the military power of the Duke's Mansion has been taken away by the emperor. Isn't it inappropriate for me to hold it?"

Shen Jing smiled and hung the pendant back on Ji Anyu's neck.

"Of course it's appropriate. You are the daughter of Duke Ji and my Crown Princess. You will be the mother of a country in the future. How can you protect yourself without soldiers? Don't worry, the emperor can't do anything to me now. He won't do anything to you."

Ji Anyu lowered her head to cover the pendant, then turned to glance at the Duke's tablet.

"I will persuade my brother to return to the government and help the Duke's Mansion to revive."

Shen Jing looked at the tablet without saying a word. Ji Yunchi was indeed useful and trustworthy.

On their way back to the Eastern Palace, they met Prince Zhong, who was dressed in plain clothes.

Prince Zhong met Shen Jing's eyes and smiled embarrassedly.

"What a coincidence, I am going to pay homage to my deceased friend."

Shen Jing raised an ambiguous smile, "We just came back from paying respects to the deceased. If the emperor's uncle goes to pay respects to the emperor's aunt, please say hello to the emperor's aunt for me. Thank you for your care."

Prince Zhong didn't dare to look at Shen Jing's eyes when he heard that. He turned his head away and said, "Well, I have something to do. I'll leave first."

Ji Anyu frowned in confusion when he saw Prince Zhong leave in a hurry.

"Looking at Prince Zhong's appearance, why do I feel a little guilty?"

Shen Jing sneered sarcastically, "Aren't those who worship and poison the emperor's aunt guilty? They are blind."

Ji Anyu's eyes widened, recalling the day when the imperial concubine died.

"No wonder the Imperial Concubine has such a long reach. If there wasn't someone behind the scenes conniving her, how could the Imperial Concubine have succeeded so easily?"

"Prince Zhong didn't know the reason for the death of the Imperial Aunt before. Now that he knows, he doesn't seem to hate the Imperial Concubine that much. He rushes to burn incense for the Imperial Concubine. In the end, he still doesn't cherish the Imperial Aunt enough."

Shen Jing leaned on Ji Anyu's shoulder angrily, with one hand interlocked with Ji Anyu's fingers.

"They live a confused life, but I am different. My wife, luckily I have you. You don't know how much Wei Songlin envies and jealous of me." The ending tone revealed a sense of pride.

"Wei Songlin was also beheaded?"

"No, he should go out more often since he is exiled to the frontier, so that he doesn't have to focus on competing with me."

Ji Anyu heard the implicit mockery in Shen Jing's voice, and she squeezed Shen Jing's hand.

"Did you send anything after him?"

"I didn't, I just allowed the woman to go on the road with him."

Ji Anyu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

At this moment, Wei Songlin was having a headache looking at the woman in front of him.

"I'm going into exile. What are you doing with me? Haven't I already returned your indenture contract? Get out of here!"

Tang Mian grabbed the door sill and said, "I won't leave! Didn't you say you would make me a lady? Since the promise you made has not been fulfilled, I will naturally follow you."

Wei Songlin propped up his forehead with two fingers, "I was lying to you. If you want to be a lady, go find Shen Jing!"

"I won't! I've sold my house to Xu Yuyan, and now I have nowhere to go. You said you would take me with you to get rich." Tang Mian sat beside the prison cart regardless.

"The border is bitterly cold. If you want to die, follow me."

When Wei Songlin saw that the jailer who was seeing him off did not stop him, he guessed that Tang Mian's coming was probably related to Shen Jing. He cursed Shen Jing inwardly for setting a trick for him, and sat cross-legged in silence.

Tang Mian turned his head happily and looked forward, but he didn't expect that he would not return to the capital for sixteen years after going to the border.

……

When Ji Anyu gave birth to a daughter as her first child, Shen Jing was so happy that he held a banquet for half a month. Later, he held a banquet for his daughter's full moon, and held a banquet for another half a month.

Shen Jing looked at his beloved daughter and originally wanted to hold a banquet for half a month every year for her birthday, but Ji Anyu quickly stopped him.

"Ah Jing, if you spend money like this, the court officials will have opinions."

"What are you afraid of? My daughter should be spoiled."

Ji Anyu shook his head helplessly. He couldn't stop Shen Jing, so he had to give up.

A year later, the emperor realized that he had no real power, and watched Shen Jing make decisions in a swift and decisive manner every day. For every word of rebuttal he made, Shen Jing would reply with ten words.

The emperor was so angry that he became a puppet emperor and deliberately made trouble for Shen Jing's five concubines, but Shen Jing turned around and threw them into his bedroom. He was so angry that his heart ached, and he asked several court officials to capture Shen Jing's backyard.

Instead, Shen Jing sent people to set their backyard on fire, which scared them so much that they dared not say anything about Shen Jing's backyard and they all behaved themselves.

Ji Anyu didn't take those things to heart and took her daughter out of the palace for a trip.

"Crown Princess, Xu Yuyan requests to see you."

"Let him in."

Xu Yuyan bowed his head and saluted, "Does the Crown Princess still remember the favor you owe me?"

It turned out that he was looking for her to repay a favor.

Ji Anyu straightened up immediately.

"I remember it, tell me."

"I want to marry Qing Wu, and I am willing to use my kindness in exchange for Qing Wu's freedom."

Ji Anyu burst out laughing, "Xu Yuyan, have you thought it through? Wouldn't it be better if you could use your favor to get a chance to get promoted and make money?"

"Rather than getting promoted or getting rich, I want Qingwu to be free again."

Ji Anyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I agree, you can go back now."

Xu Yuyan said happily, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

After he left, Ji Anyu called Qing Wu to come over.

"Qingwu, when did you get together with Xu Yuyan? He specifically asked me to give you your freedom today. Do you like him?"

"Ah? He really came?" Qing Wu lowered his head embarrassedly, "I thought he was just joking."

Ji Anyu looked at Qing Wu shyly snapping her fingers and smiled as an experienced person.

"I will sell my body to you, and I will buy you dowry and marry you off. Is that okay?"

Qing Wu knelt down in ecstasy, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your help."

Ji Anyu helped Qing Wu up, "I heard from the Crown Prince that Xu Yuyan's essays in the imperial examination were very good. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to serve as an official in the court in no time. It would be great for you to marry him. If he bullies you in the future, tell me and I will take care of it for you."

Qing Wu was so moved that his eyes turned red and he thanked him again and again.

At night, Ji Anyu told Shen Jing that Xu Yuyan wanted to marry Qing Wu.

Shen Jing glanced at Zhusha with a half-smile.

"Since they love each other, it would be a good thing for us to help them get married. When will they get married?"

Ji Anyu followed Shen Jing's gaze and then looked away.

"The date has not yet been set."

"Oh, when they get married, I will also give them a big gift, Zhusha, go and prepare it."

Zhu Sha responded absentmindedly, and walked out in a daze, not noticing Shen Jing and Ji Anyu smiling at each other.

"Ah Jing, why do you have to kill his heart?"

"Who told him not to fight for it and push it away foolishly? Let him prepare the gift so that he can learn his lesson."

Shen Jing finished laughing, then held Ji Anyu's arm and sat down, "Are you feeling uncomfortable today?"

Ji Anyu gently stroked her belly.

"This baby doesn't have much reaction. It doesn't like sour or spicy food."

Shen Jing put his head on Ji Anyu's belly. "He is obedient and not naughty at all. But cousin Zhaohui, I heard from Qin Junxun that she vomited a lot during her third pregnancy. Cousin Zhaohui looks much thinner."

Speaking of Qin Junxun and Princess Zhaohui, they have a very good relationship and have already given birth to two little boys. Now they want a daughter, and it seems that they will have three children in the family.

Ji Yunchi did not marry or have children, which really gave his grandfather Ji Chengting a headache.
