Junior sister took first place again

Chapter 232 Everyone has their own agenda

If Ning Jiasheng could hear what these ministers were really thinking, he would really complain that they were just dreaming.

The emperor was suppressed by the generals and could not even raise his head, but his ministers were still dreaming of leaving their names in history books.

However, although she can no longer read minds, she can still guess about 60% of what these people are thinking.

Judging from the attitudes of Ji Yuan and Ji Tang, as long as the dynasty has not changed yet, the ministers will try their best to prevent this from happening.

The same goes for Ji Yuan. As long as he is still a minister, he will always be bound by something.

Before he throws off these restraints, it will be fine if he finds a way to suppress them first.

The court officials below spoke fiercely, all directed at Ji Tang's previous remarks.

Ji Tang was annoyed by the noise and pulled out the whip hanging at his waist, ready to teach those who spoke the loudest a lesson.

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up in the corner and said, "Your Majesty, General, please allow me to speak."

Emperor Ning was dazed for a moment before he realized that it was the fourth brother who was usually invisible who was speaking.

He wanted to break the current situation, so he said to Ning Yuan kindly, "You say."

Doubts flashed through everyone's mind.

Today was really strange. First, the usually weak Princess Zhaohua confronted the general without changing her expression.

Now it was the Fourth Prince, who had always been unpopular, who stood up and spoke. It was strange.

Xue Wuying saw that everyone had stopped and looked over, and said calmly:

"General, Zhaohua is His Majesty's most beloved daughter, and marriage is something that must be handled with extreme caution."

Ji Yuan looked at him with contempt. If she wasn't the emperor's favorite daughter, he wouldn't have wanted her.

Xue Wuying was not affected and continued to talk.

"Your Majesty is just an ordinary father in this matter. The General is also here with Miss Ji today. Please understand the feelings of a father."

When Xue Wuying mentioned Ji Tang, the aura around Ji Yuan instantly softened a lot.

"Besides, today is the rare Dragon Boat Festival, not the perfect time to discuss marriage. We should raise a toast together and celebrate the occasion."

"If the general is sincere in his intention to marry you, why not choose an auspicious day and discuss the matter with Your Majesty again?"

After Xue Wuying finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the hall immediately eased a lot.

A glint of appreciation flashed in Emperor Ning's eyes, and he nodded slightly. "Fourth Brother, what you said makes sense. What do you think, General?"

Ning Jiasheng also said, "General, Zhaohua is not ignorant of the general situation. However, marriage is a matter of the royal family's dignity and should not be taken lightly."

Ji Yuan's expression changed constantly. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally laughed out of anger and said through gritted teeth, "If that's the case, let's discuss this another day."

After saying that, Ji Yuan turned around, sat down, raised his glass and took a big sip.

Ji Tang looked at everyone with interest, and finally looked at the two siblings in particular, then smiled and lowered his eyes to drink.

The storm subsided temporarily and the banquet continued, but everyone's attention was no longer on food and singing and dancing.

Ning Jiasheng sat back down in her seat, and Liu Xiang and Liu Shuang quickly surrounded her. "Princess, you really scared us to death just now."

Ning Jiasheng smiled and comforted them, "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine."

Her eyes were firm and calm. She beckoned Liu Xiang to come closer and whispered, "Tell someone you trust to find a chance to tell the Fourth Prince to stay after the banquet. I have something to discuss with him."

While serving her food, Liu Xiang nodded silently and found an opportunity to leave.

Ji Tang said to the trusted palace maid who was pouring wine in front of him, "Tell them to keep a close eye on the princess. Report anything unusual to me immediately."

The palace maid poured the wine as usual, then stood up and took the wine jug out to exchange it for a new one, but the person who came back seemed to have changed.

Xue Wuying was also not idle. Thinking about the situation his staff had analyzed with him recently, he had some ideas in his mind.
