Chapter 256 Sending a Handsome Man to Di Ran
So, when Ji Yao heard Di Ran's question, she naturally could not admit it.
In order to show that he was not aware of the situation, he looked furious and asked, "How could this happen?"
"I remember that I have ordered people to take care of the child. Although her mother is a traitor and a criminal of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I will spare her life because of her young age and innocence, and I have also ordered people to take good care of her."
"I didn't know that this group of cunning slaves were deceiving their superiors and subordinates. How hateful! I will order them all to be chopped off!"
He glanced at Di Ran and saw that his face was calm and he didn't react, and he felt a little angry.
He smiled and said, "Does King Beichen have any objections?"
Di Ran's eyes were indifferent: "Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide."
"The orphan of the Feng family..."
Di Ran slowly interrupted Ji Yao and said, "The Feng family has fallen, and Feng Fuyun is still young. If we let him go, who knows if someone with bad intentions will appear again?"
"After all, Feng Lie is the sworn brother of the late emperor. So Feng Fuyun should call Your Majesty and me the imperial aunt."
"Since Feng Fuyun has been acquitted without fault, we cannot leave him to fend for himself. If word gets out, people who don't know will think that Your Majesty is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate an innocent child."
Ji Yao's face darkened: "Let me see who dares to spread rumors!"
"Why would I care about a child?"
Di Ran's nonchalant voice came: "Your Majesty, there are many princes and princesses in the palace. Taking in the daughter of a criminal may cause criticism."
"I feel sorry for her loneliness, and the mansion is deserted. The prince is too lonely, so I want to take her in and keep her company. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
She has already spoken, and she is not in the right, so what is the point of objecting?
Ji Yao suppressed the resentment in her eyes and said with a smile: "Since the prince is willing to take her in, I will naturally agree."
The atmosphere was slightly tense for a moment, Ji Yao's eyes sparkled slightly, and she smiled.
"Yes, my Lord."
"Last time, when the princess was assassinated and poisoned, a young man who claimed to be the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley came to the palace to treat the princess. His name is Yan Chen. I wonder if King Beichen knows him?"
Di Ran said lightly: "I know him, but not familiar with him." Seeing that Di Ran's face was calm and there was nothing unusual, Ji Yao narrowed her shrewd eyes slightly.
"Oh? Not familiar?"
"That Young Master Yan Chen said that he knows King Beichen and they have a very good relationship. He also asked how to get to my palace."
"I saw that she had done a great job in treating the princess, so I asked someone to lead the way. I believe she is already in the prince's mansion now."
Di Ran frowned slightly: "What exactly does your majesty want to say?"
"Haha~"
Ji Yao smiled ambiguously: "Yes, a young and promising person like the prince is the most attractive to those young and beautiful gentlemen."
"His Majesty…"
Di Ran opened his mouth slightly in displeasure, but was interrupted by Ji Yao with a smile, as if saying "Don't worry, I understand".
"No need to say more, I understand."
Di Ran: “…”
What does she understand?
"Your Highness is already old, it's time for him to have a few close friends in his mansion."
Ji Yao had a false smile on her face: "It's just that this one is too few. How about I take charge and pick a few more beauties to send to His Majesty?"
Di Ran's cold face darkened. "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but we already have Xie'er at home, so there is no need to add more people to the family and cause more trouble."
"Why would this be troublesome?"
Ji Yao didn't expect Di Ran to refuse. She was slightly surprised. After all, which woman doesn't love beauty?
I thought Di Ran was afraid that others would gossip about her and say that she was greedy for beauty and ruin her reputation.
So he smiled and persuaded her: "Your Highness, don't worry about what other people say. It's normal for a woman to have three husbands and four maids. You are a prince, so what's wrong with taking in a few beauties?"
