Chapter 1311: Admiring You (5)
"So it’s Prince Qi Jingchen," Yang Ruxin gave a slight nod, "What a coincidence." The one who could drink with Prince Qi must be none other than King Qi Jingyun. His gaze from earlier had indeed sent shivers down her spine—the man who had been hailed as the "War God" many years ago.
She had long been informed about the figures in the Imperial Court by Gu Qingheng. Despite Qi Jingchen being established as the Crown Prince early on, his position was not secure; many coveted his place, especially King Qi Jingyun. It was no surprise that he had ambitions; after all, he had been on the battlefield since the age of ten, and had led his troops alone at fourteen, defeating the intruding forces from the northwest Jin Country, which had now evolved into the strong Mogul Kingdom...
With military achievements and strategic acumen, such a man naturally wouldn’t be content to be subordinate to others.
Moreover, ever since the Empress passed away, the current emperor had not appointed a new empress, and the harem was now managed by the Virtuous Concubine Xiao Jin, who was King Qi Jingyun’s biological mother. The Xiao Family’s influence in the court was not to be underestimated, with Xiao Gan, Xiao Jin’s brother, serving as the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Personnel, holding vast authority over the appointment and transfer of officials.
Yet, with Yuan Country attacking Daxuan, this "War God" surprisingly had not joined the battle, but instead had come to Jiangnan... Ruxin certainly did not think his visit was for leisure.
However, regardless of his purpose, it didn’t concern her, so she hurried onto the boat. Her husband had already taken sides; hence she belonged to the Crown Prince’s faction and it was best for her to avoid any interaction with these two men.
Nevertheless, the Dong Family’s ship couldn’t set sail because another ship had arrived, blocking the waterway out of the dock.
The boatmen on board didn’t know what to do.
"Miss Yang, my master invites you to come over and talk," Yun Yang had already arrived at the boat’s edge, respectfully addressing Yang Ruxin.
"What if I refuse?" Yang Ruxin frowned.
"I think it’s best for Miss Yang not to refuse," Yun Yang sighed. He actually admired Yang Ruxin quite a bit, especially her cooking, which he had missed dearly since leaving the Yang Family.
