Chapter 1206: Chapter 1197: Two Princes from Both Countries Express Their Feelings, Claiming Admiration for Your Majesty_1 Chapter 1206: Chapter 1197: Two Princes from Both Countries Express Their Feelings, Claiming Admiration for Your Majesty_1 After a stick of incense had burned, Morning Sun Hall.
An Xijin attendant reported the Princess's illness and begged the Regent to send an Imperial Physician to save her, conveniently adding his own interpretation.
Slitting her wrists to commit suicide?!
Lin Jinyun's heart sank, and she put down the memorial with an unconscious desire to visit the posthouse.
“Ahem.”
Ji Liuyun gave a light cough to remind her, “Valley Master Mo of Medicine King Valley is currently in the palace. Why not ask him to help treat the Princess at the posthouse?”
“Very well. I, personally, will ask Valley Master Mo.”
Lin Jinyun's eyes lit up as she strode out of Morning Sun Hall.
“Junior Brother, from what I can see, your good fortune is near,” Xu Wei said with a sly smile, moving his chair closer to Ji Liuyun.
“Does the Ministry of Public Works have nothing to do?”
Ji Liuyun raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, “Do you need more tasks assigned?”
“Ah, no need, no need.”
Xu Wei choked and quickly waved his hand, dragging his chair back to his seat.
“Prime Minister, here's the list of candidates for this year's Imperial Examination.”
A female official from the Imperial Court walked in from outside and presented a list with both hands.
“How was the exam site? Were there any instances of cheating or copying?”
Ji Liuyun quickly flipped through the list before placing it on his desk.
The female official lowered her eyes respectfully and answered, “As of now, there haven't been any.”
Ji Liuyun nodded in satisfaction, “Tomorrow is the last day of the examination. Continue to keep a close watch. After the exams are over, the invigilators will have a three-day break.”
“Thank you, Prime Minister.”
The female official's eyes gleamed with excitement as she bowed in gratitude.
“You may leave now.”
Ji Liuyun's lips curved, his every gesture exceptionally graceful, and enchanting.
“Yes.”
The female official's heartbeat quickened, and she tried to steady herself before bowing down and backing away.
Xu Wei watched in awe, giving a thumbs up, “No wonder His Majesty personally appointed you as the current Prime Minister. With your ability to win people's hearts, nobody in Fengqi's court can compare.”
“It seems like you really have too much spare time.”
Ji Liuyun rubbed his temples, stood up from his chair, and walked to Lin Jinyun's desk. He picked up a thick stack of petitions, placing them on Xu Wei's desk, “Since I have important things to do and can't review these memorials, I will leave this to you.”
“Not this, Junior Brother.”
Xu Wei looked at the mountain-high stack of petitions and immediately made a bitter face, “While you're visiting the Princess, I also have a beauty to meet. We can't have favoritism here!”
Ji Liuyun's eyes flashed, and he teased with a smile, “There won't be any beauties in the Bright Moon Pavilion tonight.”
Xu Wei looked puzzled, “How do you know that?”
Ji Liuyun gave him an idiotic look, “They're all at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and Boutique, preparing for the Flower Appreciation Banquet in two days.”
“Ahem.”
Xu Wei's mouth twitched, nearly choking on his saliva.
“Haha.”
Ji Liuyun was in a particularly good mood, the corner of his lips curving temptingly.
“What is the Duke of Zhen's household thinking?” Xu Wei couldn't accept defeat and tried to provoke his senior brother, “Shouldn't the Princess's marriage be prioritized? With His Majesty's marriage yet to be decided, choosing a consort for the Regent isn't quite suitable.”
Ji Liuyun's heart sank, and his smile froze on his face.
“Senior Brother, I heard that the ambassadors from Xichu and Nanxun have both proposed marriage alliances to the Duke of Zhen.”
Xu Wei smirked, thoroughly enjoying his Junior Brother's rare embarrassment.
“Both princes have expressed their affections in public, claiming admiration for His Majesty and their willingness to stay in Fengqi, always at His Majesty's side.”
