After leaving Chonghua Palace, Ji Jin ordered coldly: "Zhou Fang."

"The slave is here."

"It is reported that Princess Pingyao has entered the palace."

"Yes." Zhou Fang took the order and left.

Arriving at the imperial study room, Ji Jin found that Shen Ning had left.

Ji Yucang stood alone in front of the imperial case, looking at the files piled up on the case and a copybook that Ji Jin had practiced in her spare time.

A vigorous "forbearance" appears on the paper, losing the immaturity of a young man and carrying the domineering aura of an emperor.

It's like reminding myself all the time that when I'm still young, I have to endure it.

"Uncle Emperor." Ji Jin looked at Ji Yucang who was standing in front of the imperial case, pursed his lips slightly, and a strange luster flashed in his eyes. Then he turned his eyes slightly and looked at the calligraphy on the case with him, "This is my What do you think of the writing?"

"The words are beautiful, but the heart is not strong enough." Ji Yucang said lightly, "I can't keep my anger or hide my thoughts."

Ji Jin lowered his eyes: "I am still young. In a few years, I should be able to compete with the emperor's uncle."

"For ordinary people, young age can be an excuse." Ji Yucang said, "In the imperial family, incompetence means incompetence. From the day you sit on the throne, you lose any excuses. Incompetent people have only one end."

Ji Jin stared at the word "forbearance" on the desk for a long time, and then said: "I and the emperor's uncle are both heirs of the royal family and are blood-related uncles and nephews. If the emperor is willing, we can even be as close as father and son."

Ji Yucang stood with his hands behind his back, and his cold eyes fell on him: "If I didn't need an antidote every month, I would probably really believe your words."

"That was what my father did and has nothing to do with me." Ji Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, "I respect the emperor's uncle in my heart. I want to live in peace with him, like an ordinary uncle and nephew or father and son. If I can't do it, Okay, the emperor's uncle can beat me and teach me a lesson just like when my father was alive, and I will feel that the emperor's uncle is doing it for my own good, instead of being like an enemy like he is now - "

Ji Yucang interrupted him: "I am still young and cannot give birth to a son as old as you."

Ji Jin's voice was stuck, and she twitched the corners of her mouth imperceptibly: "If the emperor's uncle really likes the regent princess, I will treat her favorably in the future, but the emperor's uncle should not be at odds with the queen mother."

This is a compromise from the nephew to the emperor's uncle, and it is also a sign of weakness from the king of the country.

"Whether the emperor is willing to be kind to her or not has no influence on her." Ji Yucang walked to the side and sat down on a chair. His voice was a little more indifferent and casual, "My wife naturally has me to protect her. No one can bully her."

Ji Jin's eyes were dark, and a hint of gloom appeared on her handsome face: "I'm just a prostitute. Is it worthy of the emperor's uncle to protect her like this?"

Ji Yucang's eyebrows were cold and cold: "Is there nothing else, Your Majesty?"

Ji Jin pursed her lips: "I just hope that the emperor's uncle will not go against me. I don't want to be an enemy of the emperor's uncle."

"If the emperor can show the magnanimity and responsibility of a king, instead of allowing the queen mother to act recklessly and wantonly tarnish the face of the royal family, I will consider living in peace with the emperor." Ji Yucang's tone was calm, revealing the ultimate indifference, "After all, the emperor just said Yes, we are uncle and nephew, there is no reason for hostility."

Ji Jin was silent for a moment, as if explaining: "Before the death of the emperor, the queen mother was used to having a smooth life in the harem, and the concubines obeyed her. Now that someone who doesn't listen to her suddenly appears, the queen mother may not be able to accept it for a while. I will give her some good advice."

In addition to Shen Ning, a rebellious woman, the regent's autocratic power was also the reason why the Queen Mother felt insecure, and her anger only came from the anger and uneasiness in her heart.

Ji Jin didn't know that the Queen Mother wanted to promote the Qin family and make the Qin family the head of the Yong family.

However, the founding of the Yong Kingdom was less than a hundred years ago, and the Qin family was not considered an aristocratic family at all. They did not have such a deep foundation to support them, and being too prominent would only destroy them.

But there is no need to tell Ji Yucang this.

Ji Jin collected her emotions and got back to the topic: "I have read the document sent by Nan Zhao. What is the emperor's plan?"

Ji Yucang's voice was cold: "The situation in Nan Zhao is not very good now. They are not qualified to negotiate with Yong State. We will wait until they come to decide what to do."

Ji Jin hummed.

Ji Yucang's eyes fell on his face, and his features were shrouded in layers of pressure, making people awe-inspiring: "Since the emperor wants to be a wise king, he should understand that internal fighting will only damage the country's strength and give foreign enemies the opportunity to invade."

Ji Jin said calmly: "I understand."

Ji Yucang's voice was cold: "Concentrate more on government affairs instead of worrying about me. You are a young boy who is still young. If I really want to deal with you, will you be able to take the throne?"

Ji Jin's expression changed slightly, the color in her eyes changed, and she remained silent.

"Qin Yanshu needs to pay the price for what he has done." Ji Yucang stood up and said coldly, "If the emperor wants to take power independently and govern the country of Yong well, he must first be fair and strict, rather than blatantly covering up, otherwise it will be regarded as his own. Even if the king delegates power to you, the entire civil and military dynasty will not be convinced by you."

Ji Jin was silent for a moment and accepted it humbly: "Thank you, uncle, for the advice. My nephew understands."

Ji Yucang didn't say anything more, stood up and left.

Ji Jin stood in front of the palace and stared at his departing figure without saying a word, her eyes filled with unfathomable light and darkness.
