Chapter 110: Not Marrying the Prince
"The storybooks written by Ji Yanqing are very nice." Ye Jinshu chose a very conservative answer.

The Queen pressed on: "Let's not talk about the story written by Ji Yanqing, what about him as a person?"

Ye Jinshu thought about it and quickly came up with the answer: "He is a very good-looking person."

"He is good-looking. When I was young, I rarely saw someone with such outstanding looks. What do you think of his personality?"

Ye Jinshu always felt that it was a bit strange for the queen to ask these questions suddenly, but she couldn't guess what the queen was thinking, so she could only answer carefully: "Ji Yanqing is very smart. If I don't understand something, he will tell me as long as I ask him."

Somehow, Ye Jinshu suddenly remembered the small lantern festival they visited together before Ji Yanqing left, and continued, "It's quite fun to be with him."

Ye Jinshu herself didn't realize that a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth when she said this.

The queen saw the smile on Ye Jinshu's lips in the dim light of the candle on the table, and she felt relieved.

"If you like it, once this matter is over, I will find someone to capture Ji Yanqing and give him to you."

The words were so straightforward that even Ye Jinshu could understand what the Queen meant.

What he meant was that after the prince and Ye Ruoyan got married, Ji Yanqing would be given to her as compensation.

Ye Jinshu realized later that Jiang Sisi and her other sisters, who were sent to the manor by coincidence in their previous life, might have been compensation carefully selected by the Queen.

After realizing this, Ye Jinshu suddenly regretted that she had died too early in her previous lives and had never seen the compensation given to her by the Queen.

But there was one thing Ye Jinshu still had to tell the Queen.

"Aunt, Ji Yanqing is not easy to catch."

The queen nodded. She knew, of course, that Ji Yanqing was someone who could escape from her and the prince's hands.

However, they all thought that Ji Yanqing was just an ordinary book writer, so they did not send many people. They also thought that since Ji Yanqing had already left the imperial city, he could be quickly controlled if he went out as an ordinary citizen, so they did not send too many people.

Unexpectedly, he was forced to flee the country in the end.

Now that she knows that Ji Yanqing is a capable man, she will just send more people to capture him later.

"Auntie will bring you anything you like."

Ye Jinshu was quite touched when he heard this, but the problem was.
"Aunt, Ji Yanqing is the prince of Dongming Kingdom."

The room fell silent for a moment.

long silence.

Finally, the queen said, "Jinshu, do you have anything else you like?"

Perhaps it was because the night had made people let down their guard. It was rare for Ye Jinshu to see the queen's frustrated expression, so she couldn't help but laugh and reveal her secret: "Hahahaha, aunt, it's okay. Ji Yanqing said he would come back to see me."

Good news, Ye Jinshu's words did ease the Queen's embarrassment.

Bad news, the embarrassment doesn't go away it just moves from one person to another.

Now, the embarrassment shifted to Ye Jinshu.

"You two, have you decided to spend your lives together privately?"

The Queen's voice suddenly became dangerous.

In her opinion, there is no difference between secretly marrying a woman and dragging her into the abyss.

Ye Jinshu then realized that she had been careless. If it was revealed that she had secretly gotten engaged to another man while she was engaged to the prince, she might not have any problems, but Ji Yanqing would definitely be in trouble.

It will make the Queen have a very bad impression of Ji Yanqing.

In fact, Ye Jinshu could understand this. After all, how could someone who took the initiative to approach someone knowing that he was engaged be a good person? But in Ji Yanqing's case, Ye Jinshu couldn't help but excuse him. It was no secret that she took the initiative to cancel the engagement with the prince. Ji Yanqing must have known about it and said that to her.

Ye Jinshu started to defend himself: "We didn't get engaged secretly. I just told Ji Yanqing that I would not take the initiative to see him again. I would only consider agreeing to him if he could stand in front of me again and I was no longer engaged."

The queen nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Jinshu, you are a princess. Even if you can't become the crown princess in the future, your aunt will never allow you to belittle yourself."

Ye Jinshu nodded: "Don't worry, aunt."

"In that case, when Ji Yanqing reappears, I will talk to him in detail. He said he is the prince of Dongming Kingdom."

As the queen was speaking, she suddenly remembered a person the emperor had once praised in front of her, the prince of Dongming Kingdom.

That was several years ago. When the emperor was chatting with her and mentioned the prince, he couldn't help but sigh that although Chu Yi's talent and ability were top-notch among his brothers, he was still a little behind the eldest prince of Dongming Kingdom.

The eldest prince was extremely capable and cunning. It was rumored that he possessed the eyes of God and no one could lie to him.

At such a young age, he had already established a firm foothold in the court.

Those with evil intentions were so afraid that they couldn't even look the prince in the eye.

Only now did she remember that the eldest prince who was praised so highly by the emperor seemed to be named Ji Yanqing.

When this thought came out, even the queen thought Ji Yanqing was a lunatic. How could a prince run to live in the imperial capital of another country and use his real name?

"Jinshu, did Ji Yanqing tell me which prince he is?"

At this time, Ye Jinshu had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. She shook her head and said, "He didn't say anything. He only said that he was a prince."

The queen sighed again: "If he also becomes the crown prince, what will you do, Jinshu?"

Ye Jinshu thought about it. No matter how dumb she was, she knew that no matter which country it was, once you became the crown prince, you would be responsible for the entire country. At that time, you would have no control over your own affairs, and you couldn't even decide who to marry.

So, she would not marry the prince.

"Let him be inappropriate."

"What if he insists on being one?"

"Then I will go to another village to farm alone."

"What do you usually grow?"

"There are many things to plant. It mainly depends on the season. I plant according to the season."

"Then we'll go together."

The Queen was talking to Ye Jinshu, and she fell asleep again.

After that, the imperial physician still came to check the empress's pulse every day. Every time he came, he would be shocked to find that the empress's condition had not improved much judging from her pulse, but the empress seemed happier day by day.

It is obvious who deserves the credit for this.

At the same time, since Ye Jinshu had stayed by the queen's side for so long and still had not been infected, the imperial physician also asked Ye Jinshu for some experience.

Ye Jinshu thought about it and felt that he didn't do anything special in his daily life, at most he just read storybooks.

"Maybe reading storybooks can help cure the plague?"

Ye Jinshu was just talking nonsense, but the imperial physician took her words seriously. He actually went to find some storybooks and sent them to the epidemic area outside the palace, asking people who could read to read the storybooks to the patients when they had nothing to do.

Finally, I have to add that it was Princess Anping who ordered us to do this.
