A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1213 - 950 Pearl Princess_2

Princess Ata nodded, "It was when I went to Dongyue to seek pearls a few days ago, and I promised her something. Now it seems I was too hasty in making that promise."Ji Youzhi and Ji Youze, upon hearing this, suddenly felt that this matter seemed quite complicated, so they both looked toward the Emperor.

"It’s alright. I am as close as brothers with Youzhi and Youze, and Suisui is even my adopted daughter. If this matter is related to the Ji Family, you need not hide anything from me; you can speak the truth directly!"

Princess Ata took a deep breath before speaking.

"To be honest, a few days ago, I heard that the wife of the Ji Family’s household was having a difficult pregnancy and needed life-giving eastern pearls to stabilize her condition. So, I went to Dongyue.

Princess Pearl is a good friend of mine, and without any hesitation, she gave me all the eastern pearls. At that time, she told me that giving me the pearls was no problem, but she hoped that I would make a promise.

She said that if there were ever any changes in Dongyue, she hoped I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing!"

After she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study became very tense, and one could hear a pin drop.

"So, does this mean Princess Pearl is now asking you to fulfill that promise?"

The Emperor grasped the letter in his hand.

Princess Ata nodded, "Yes, Princess Pearl is bringing her trusted aides and heading toward the Great Han, and she is expected to arrive at Yanyun Ridge in three days. She hopes that Your Majesty will allow her to pass the border and ensure her temporary safety!"

The Emperor thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Allowing Princess Pearl to pass the border is not a problem, but sending troops to quell the rebellion is something I need to consider.

After all, this is a matter of national importance, and I don’t have any capable generals to send."

Upon hearing this, Princess Ata glanced at Ji Youze, thinking to herself, the Champion Scholar by your side is more capable than all the generals!

"As long as Princess Pearl can first cross the border to ensure her temporary safety, we can discuss the other matters slowly!"

The Emperor considered her words and said, "The Princess makes a good point!"

Princess Ata was overjoyed to hear this and immediately said, "Then please, Your Majesty, issue a decree to Ah Ta. I will take it to find Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe, and invite her to accompany me to Yanyun Ridge."

The Emperor frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What does this have to do with Suisui?

Why must you bring her along?"

Princess Ata scratched her head sheepishly and replied, "The time mentioned in Princess Pearl’s letter is approaching fast, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach Yanyun Ridge before the agreed time. Isn’t Suisui quite quick?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor looked at Ji Youzhi, who said, "My sister-in-law is about to give birth, and right now, the family doesn’t want her to be running around!"

The Emperor considered this and agreed, asking, "Then what do you think should be done to resolve this matter?"

However, Ji Youzhi did not respond, but Ji Youze spoke up.

"Your Majesty, please issue the decree to me. Suisui and I can go."

The Emperor blinked in surprise, and Princess Ata seemed a bit dumbfounded.

Ji Youzhi gulped and said to the Emperor, "He’s... he’s not acting normal today, he’s really not normal!"

The Emperor nodded, "I noticed that too!"

Princess Ata: "What are you talking about?"

The Emperor and Ji Youzhi blinked and saw Ji Youze personally writing the decree.

"Youze, the court has just suffered significant losses; I truly can’t do without you!"

Ji Youze replied, "Do you keep civil and military officials just for show?"

The Emperor: "What I mean is, this matter doesn’t require your personal involvement; let Suisui and Princess Ata handle it!"

Ji Youze: "I wouldn’t be at ease with Suisui and Princess Ata going alone!"

Princess Ata quickly assured, "Minister Ji, rest assured, I can certainly protect Princess Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe!"

Ji Youze glanced at her sideways, "Does Suisui need your protection?"

Princess Ata blushed and quickly shook her head, "No... no need!"

Seeing this, the Emperor couldn’t help but feel anxious and quickly signaled to Ji Youzhi.

Ji Youzhi gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "Old Eight, you stay in the capital. I will go!"

Ji Youzhi said this with great seriousness.

His offer was met with a roll of the eyes from Ji Youze.

"When you were a child, you never studied as eagerly as you do now. Should I tell Suisui to supervise you to read more books in the future?"

Ji Youzhi blinked at that and quickly said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, there are many cases at Divine Hunter’s department that need handling, so I’ll go and deal with them now!"

"Ah, Youzhi..."

The Emperor watched helplessly as Ji Youzhi slipped away!

"Your Majesty, use the imperial seal!"

Ji Youze placed the decree in front of the Emperor.

The Emperor glared at him, placing the seal but not moving.

"Using the seal is no problem, and going is fine, but you must tell me why you have to go?"

Ji Youze coughed, glancing at Princess Ata standing nearby.

The Emperor was so familiar with Ji Youze.

Seeing this, he knew Ji Youze didn’t want Princess Ata to know, so he leaned in closer.

"Whisper it quietly to me."

Princess Ata widened her eyes at this, seeing the Emperor and Ji Youze acting in such a childish manner...

She thought to herself, did they have to be so childish?

Just as she thought that, the Emperor suddenly looked up and stared at Ji Youze in surprise.

"You... are you serious?"

Ji Youze nodded lightly and gave a muffled "hm."

Princess Ata opened her mouth wide, feeling like Ji Youze’s face was slightly red.

Blinking, she looked again at Ji Youze, who instantly returned to his expressionless face!

"Alright! I wish you a great victory, a joyous wedding night, and many children..."

The Emperor promptly used the seal.

Then he solemnly offered blessings to Ji Youze.

Princess Ata watched Ji Youze walk out of the Imperial Study with the Emperor’s decree, and even after his figure disappeared from view, she remained in a state of shock!

"What... what did he tell you?

And what did your words mean just now?"
