Chapter 44: Towards! Forward!
"Oh, so that's how it is." Ye Jinshu responded naturally, but it was not until she finished answering that she realized what Ji Yanqing had just said.

Want to hear her voice?

Why do I want to hear her voice for no reason?

Although Ye Jinshu had been reborn several times and all ended in failure, she grew up in the palace and had learned from concubines how to discipline people in the harem. Even if she couldn't see through the meticulous conspiracies and intrigues, she could still understand some simple thoughts.

What's more, she has been pampered since she was a child and there is never a shortage of people who want to please her.

In the past, people who said things like Ji Yanqing just now all had plans for themselves.

Before she was thrown into farming, she was just such an ordinary yet powerful princess, and there were always people who wanted to get close to her.

But Ji Yanqing is not this kind of person on weekdays.

Although Ye Jinshu didn't know much about Ji Yanqing, she knew that Ji Yanqing was not a talkative person. On weekdays, when he was brought into the palace by Xiao Cui, he would just write storybooks and leave after finishing.

When leaving, he listened to the advice. Ye Jinshu told him that the palace was not safe and he must not follow anyone except Xiao Cui. Ji Yanqing really ignored anyone except Xiao Cui along the way.

The time when Ji Yanqing spoke the most to me was when he helped me grow the dragon blood grass.

Apart from that, most of the time, he was the one talking and Ji Yanqing was listening.

She would talk about the things she occasionally thought of about rebirth. If Ji Yanqing thought it made sense, he would change it in the storybook. If he thought it was unreasonable, he would also say it.

Ji Yanqing was different from those ordinary people who tried to curry favor with her. At least Ji Yanqing never flattered her when he listened to her speak. Most of the time, he spoke the objective truth. Ye Jinshu could feel it.

This is also the reason why Ye Jinshu has always been willing to keep Ji Yanqing in Anping Palace.

But what Ji Yanqing said today was very different from his previous style.

According to Ye Jinshu's own life experience, if a person like Ji Yanqing, who has always been polite, becomes impolite one day, it is definitely because he has encountered difficulties beyond his control.

Wait, could it be that Ji Yanqing owes money?
There was a time in the past when gambling was prevalent in the imperial city. Many officials were addicted to it, and the crown prince was even sent to deal with the matter.

The reason why Ye Jinshu was able to remember this was that Chu Yi was very busy during that period, and she went to bring soup to Chu Yi every day so she could barely remember it.

Ye Jinshu tasted the benefits of rebirth for the first time, and confidently concluded, and then confidently asked Ji Yanqing: "Do you owe money?"

Ji Yanqing:?

After hearing Ye Jinshu's incoherent words, Ji Yanqing, based on his understanding of Ye Jinshu for so long, easily guessed that this little princess must have come up with something that ordinary people would never think of.

Sure enough, was he too anxious?
But Ji Yanqing knew one thing more clearly. If he did not take any action and only fantasized that one day the little princess would fall in love with him and take the initiative, then he would only be able to watch from afar forever.

The rumors about him and the princess in the palace had spread to that extent, but there was still nothing unusual when the princess looked at him, which only meant that the princess did not have that kind of intention towards him now.

But he couldn't wait.

The prince, who can no longer hide his love, is about to take action against him, and he must find a way to break the relationship between him and the princess.

He is just a commoner now, and he has to find another way to defeat the prince.

Let the princess like him.

Ji Yanqing sighed and lowered his eyes just right, not appearing to be avoiding Ye Jinshu's gaze, but also putting away all his defenses and appearing harmless to Ye Jinshu.

He knew that showing weakness to someone like the princess was not a good idea, but he had to get closer first.

"My Lord, I don't owe you any money."

"Then why did you suddenly say you wanted to hear my voice? People who said this to me in the past always had bad intentions."

Ye Jinshu didn't think about hiding anything and just said whatever he thought.

She didn't care what Ji Yanqing would think when he heard such words, nor did she care whether she would be embarrassed if she misunderstood. Ye Jinshu's purpose was very simple.

She just wanted to know why Ji Yanqing said that.

Ji Yanqing was used to Ye Jinshu's straightforwardness, just like what Ye Jinshu said to him when they first met, people in the palace always spoke in a difficult way, except for her, who always spoke literally.

A smile appeared on Ji Yanqing's lips. He had thought many times about why he went from being afraid to enter the palace to looking forward to entering the palace every day.

That’s because there is a little princess in the palace whose face shows all her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

There will never be any false accusations or torture around this princess.

Even before she acts arrogantly, she would always say it honestly.

What a strange princess. But he wanted to stay with such a strange person.

Ji Yanqing still remembered what his master said: extreme wisdom will lead to harm.

A person as smart as him is destined to be suspicious even towards the person he loves the most in this life, and will never be able to give his true heart to others.

Unless the other person is a fool.

But if he was really a fool, how could he have appreciated it with Ji Yanqing's power at that time.

Later, Ji Yanqing really did as his master said, suspicious of everyone, even his confidants.

He would not leave himself any threat, even if it was just a speculative threat.

So, he is not suitable for that position and he must leave.

What is Ye Jinshu to him?

No matter when he heard Ye Jinshu say something, he would never doubt her, because he knew that was Ye Jinshu's true words.

To say that he has fallen in love with Ye Jinshu now, is not really the case.

Just like.

Just came across a treasure.

Just don't want to miss it.

"Many of my ideas come from the stories told by the princess. I was unable to enter the palace today, and I just happened to be unable to write anything, so I especially missed the princess' voice."

Ye Jinshu realized it, and she asked Ji Yanqing what was wrong, it turned out that he didn't know what the story was about!

This was exactly what she wanted to talk to Ji Yanqing about today.

Ye Jinshu couldn't wait to tell Ji Yanqing how her grandmother loved her son, but she found that Ji Yanqing hadn't started eating yet. Since it would take a long time for her to talk about it, she urged Ji Yanqing to eat quickly.

Ji Yanqing was also obedient. He ate whatever Ye Jinshu asked him to eat, without feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Ye Jinshu was already full, and just ate a little with Ji Yanqing. There was no palace maid serving the food, so Ye Jinshu had nothing to do but watch Ji Yanqing eat.

Ji Yanqing was a person who, whenever he sat down, whether he was writing or eating, his back was always straight, and his every move seemed to be held by a string, making him look extremely dignified.

Ji Yanqing's action reminded Ye Jinshu of the imperial palace banquets in the past, when people with this kind of behavior would never be able to eat enough.

Thinking of this, Ye Jinshu looked at Ji Yanqing with loving eyes again.

Eat more while you can.

Ji Yanqing:?

After Ji Yanqing finished her meal, Ye Jinshu told Ji Yanqing about what had been bothering her all day.

Ji Yanqing listened quietly as he did before, until Ye Jinshu looked at him and hinted that it was time for him to speak, then he expressed his thoughts.

"My Lady, I believe that the age of a reborn person cannot be calculated based on how long they have lived. Although they are reborn, for that person, everything will be frozen at the moment of her rebirth. Only when she breaks through the demons in her heart can she move forward."

"Until then, no matter how long you live in this world, it won't count as adding years, it will just be a repetition of past mistakes."

Ye Jinshu originally asked Ji Yanqing this question out of curiosity, but for some reason, after hearing these words, her heart seemed to be suddenly torn open, revealing the festering deep in her wound that had long since healed.

It hurts a lot, but after the pain is over, I feel relieved.

It turned out that she had been stuck in her first life.

Ye Jinshu didn't realize when he burst into tears.

I didn't notice Xiao Cui's expression changed instantly.

But she saw the secret guard who suddenly appeared for some unknown reason.

And
"Princess!!!"

"How dare you, Ji Yanqing! Why don't you kneel down!"
