Chapter 352 After the Raiders 2
Chapter 352 After the Raiders 2
Meng Tian was in mourning for two days, but soon cheered up again.
Just come back. Although she no longer has the 1 billion reward, in this world, she has the love of the Regent who is second to none, so she will not live a bad life.
Thinking of what she had read in the book the system gave her, that after she completed her mission and returned, Ji Yanli remained unmarried for her sake, she felt her heart pounding. This time she was here, Ji Yanli would definitely not end up alone.
Although she changed her body, she believed that Ji Yanli would recognize her the first time he saw her!
Meng Tiantian pretended to be good and admitted his mistake, and was finally released three days later.
In the same hall, Meng Tiantian was kneeling on the ground, and General Sang Gan was standing with his hands behind his back, his face grim.
"You know you're wrong?"
"I was wrong, Dad. I won't dare to do it again."
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Meng Tiantian's eyes, Sang Gan's wife Cao paused and thought to herself that it would be better to marry off the fifth girl as soon as possible. A fool who couldn't see her own identity would be a disaster if she kept her at home.
What kind of status is the Prince Regent? Is the position of the Princess Regent something a concubine's daughter from a general's mansion can aspire to?
How many people want to marry the Regent, and how many of them can actually meet that person?
……
At this time, the Regent Prince Ji Yanli, the single rich bachelor whom countless ladies in the capital wanted to marry, was attending the palace banquet out of boredom.
He sat below the little emperor, just a few steps away. The rest of the people, including royal relatives, sat on the left and right sides of the white marble steps.
He lowered his eyes and listened to the flattery and amusement of the people below, his face expressionless.
In the original world line, the original body rarely smiled since Meng Tiantian's death. He was an ambitious villain who would eventually seize the throne, but was turned into a love-brained person by a woman and a strategy system.
And the woman who had conquered him, after completing the mission, patted her butt and returned to her original world, living a carefree life with the huge reward given by the system. Only her original self was trapped in that false relationship.
Because of her, even though the second prince's legitimate son was mediocre and narrow-minded, he still assisted him wholeheartedly, helped him ascend the throne, helped him stabilize the previous dynasty, and guarded the border for him. As regent, he spent the rest of his life like a tireless ox or horse.
When the little emperor grew up and became suspicious of him, he readily gave up his power.
When he died, the person he was thinking about was still the woman who had come to him just to capture him in exchange for a reward.
If that's the case, it's fine. After all, he has been a fool all his life and has been deceived all his life. From his perspective, he doesn't know what the system, tasks, or strategies are. He feels willing to do all this for his beloved.
But at the moment of his death, a book appeared in front of him and flipped through the pages quickly.
As if to mock him, the pages were turned particularly slowly when describing how Meng Tiantian deceived him, how she plotted against him, and how she supported seven or eight gigolos when she returned to her original world and lived a carefree life, making him read particularly carefully.
The original body's eyes were bloodshot and full of resentment, and all the love he once had turned into hatred.
That's why Ji Yanli came here.
"Regent."
The little emperor called him crisply, his eyes full of dependence and trust in him.
"You will go to the Heavenly Sacrifice on my behalf the day after tomorrow."
Ji Yanli glanced at him. The little emperor had a rosy complexion. It was not so much that he had not recovered from the cold, but rather that he was trying to please him. He was not yet fully grown and still needed to rely on him, so he put on this attitude of being easy to control.
"No need. I think the Emperor is well now. Since the Emperor has just ascended the throne, it would be better for the Emperor to come personally to offer sacrifices to heaven."
Such an incident also happened in the original world, and the original body did not respond, so the little emperor did not know. He made two preparations. If he agreed to offer sacrifices to heaven on behalf of the emperor, then on the day of the sacrifice, strange phenomena would appear in the sky, and everyone would know that the regent was a person disliked by God.
Despite his young age, he is extremely cunning. However, as an emperor, it is good for him to have some brains.
The entire palace banquet was either filled with flattery, witty remarks, and the enjoyment of singing and dancing. It was extremely boring.
Halfway through the palace banquet, Ji Yanli stood up and left.
After he left, the smile in the little emperor's eyes faded a little, but he still forced himself to cheer up. He wanted to win over the regent in everything and let the court officials see who was the legitimate one and who was the emperor.
Before her death, his aunt Princess Qingning (Meng Tian's identity when she was captured) told him that she had asked the regent to assist him and take good care of him, so that he could rest assured and be a good emperor.
But the young emperor still felt his aunt was too naive. A man could be bound by emotion for a while, but how could he be controlled forever? Most of the ministers in the court followed the regent's orders, leaving him, the emperor, more like a puppet. Now that his aunt had just passed away, the regent, remembering that little bit of affection and still willing to assist him, what would happen next?
What about five years later, ten years later?
What happens when he takes power?
Some things still need to be prepared early.
Ji Yanli left the hall. Before the heat on his body faded away, a black fox fur coat was draped over him, and then an exquisite hand warmer was slapped into his hand.
"My Lord, are we going back now?"
Ji Yanli glanced at Wang Shou and shook his head, "No, I'm going to Anleju to listen to music."
Wang Shou suppressed his surprise and responded.
Before meeting Meng Tiantian, the original body especially liked to go to Anleju and listen to Yanniang singing. Later, after communicating with Meng Tiantian, Meng Tiantian clearly expressed her dislike for Anleju and Yanniang, the original body stopped going there.
Anleju is located on Changping Street in Shangjing. It is a den of brothels that many dignitaries love to go to. The decorations inside are all exquisite, and the actresses and dancers are all top-notch, knowledgeable and able to understand people's feelings.
Before Ji Yanli's carriage arrived at Anleju, Yanniang had already been instructed to push the other guests away and wait inside the house.
I was happy but also felt it was rare.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Regent was deeply in love with the late Princess Qingning. Princess Qingning had clearly expressed her disgust for Anleju at a banquet, and since then, the Regent had never come again.
Although I usually come here just to listen to music.
After Princess Qingning died, even though the Regent was always cold-faced, countless ladies from prominent families still wanted to marry him.
He is powerful and handsome, who wouldn't want to marry such a man?
While Yanniang was still daydreaming, the door was pushed open.
"Your Majesty."
Looking at the person walking in, Yan Niang quickly put her thoughts aside, bowed, and then walked over to greet him.
Ji Yanli did not avoid other people when he came. Sang Huai, the eldest son of the general's mansion, was also in Anleju. When he saw him, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
The regent, who is pure-hearted and most virtuous of men, actually came to Anleju.
It’s strange, really strange.
Who said that the Regent remained chaste for the deceased Princess Qingning?
It's simply a rumor.
