Chapter 159 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
This is a good era, but also a very chaotic era.
Many etiquettes had not yet been formed, and men would not mind their women's past.
Before Qing Meiren met Ji Yu, she had already married a man and gave birth to a son for him.
Later, the man died. After many twists and turns, she met Ji Yu. Relying on the mature charm that a young girl did not have, she won Ji Yu's favor, and even her son was recognized by Ji Yu as an "adopted son."
Now in the Prince's Mansion, everyone who sees Jiang Wu will respectfully call him Young Master Wu.
Ji Yu's biological sons were all young. After Ji Junze arrived, he was second only to Jiang Wu in age.
But he was Ji Yu's biological son, so the servants all called him "the eldest son".
This incident made Jiang Wu's status lower.
He appears to not care at all, but only he knows what he is thinking in his heart.
The place where Ji Junze lived in the Prince's Mansion was naturally much larger than when he lived in the Qin Mansion. It even had a spacious yard, which was perfect for the kitten to run and jump.
After getting familiar with the environment, Ji Junze dismissed everyone, put the kitten on the ground, and wanted her to have fun in the yard.
However, Shi Li is not a real kitten after all, and is not interested in running, jumping and having fun.
After falling to the ground, she yawned lazily, and when the cold wind passed by, she meowed, turned around and clung to Ji Junze's robe, looking at him pitifully with her green eyes.
Ji Junze: ...
After staring at the kitten for a while, he finally leaned over and picked her up again.
Subsequently, the plan to build a cat house in the small yard was shelved indefinitely.
Shi Li’s regular sleeping spot is still next to Ji Junze’s pillow.
But the conditions here are much better than before. Ji Junze seems to have developed a mysophobia due to the local conditions. Every night before going to bed, he must force her to wash herself cleanly, without any slackness for the whole day.
And it doesn't require the help of others.
Being served a bath by the future emperor was something I could endure the first time, but from the second time onwards there was nothing to be shy about.
After doing it many times, Shi Li even began to enjoy it.
After all, she doesn't have to do anything when taking a bath. She just needs to cooperate and lift her paws when washing them.
After washing, she can usually eat a few bites of sweet fruit, which couldn’t be more comfortable. She is the winner in cat life!
In the past few days, Qiu Ji has been staying in the prince's bedroom.
It is said that Prince Yu had originally prepared a palace for her, but now he felt that the palace was shabby and wanted people to repair it, and he was determined not to let his beloved concubine down.
Shi Li privately guessed that what Prince Yu said was probably false and was used to deceive outsiders.
She had seen through it that day that Prince Yu was an old pervert. He couldn't even walk when he saw the beautiful and capable Qiu Ji, and he couldn't wait to be with her day and night.
In fact, Shi Li’s guess was absolutely correct.
After Ji Yu and Qiu Ji relived their love dream, he really couldn't bear to leave her even a step.
Outsiders only saw Qiu Ji's innocent and romantic side. Only he, her husband, knew what a beauty she was in bed.
Compared with her, the concubines in the Manchu mansion can only be considered as useless.
Ji Yu was completely bewitched and felt that he had wasted all these years. He wished he could stick to Qiu Ji day and night.
What's more, after getting out of bed, Qiu Ji was still a gentle and charming woman who could talk to him best and recall the good and bad times with him, reminiscing about the days that only the two of them had experienced.
Not long after, news spread from the Prince's Mansion that the Prince was going to appoint a Crown Princess.
The concubines in the mansion who had been pretending to be calm could no longer sit still.
Especially Qing Meiren, who originally wanted to endure for a while, but after hearing the news, she could no longer endure it and directly asked her confidant to pass the secret message to her eldest son Jiang Wu.
In order to better educate the princes in the Prince's Mansion, the king gave them teachers to teach reading and masters to teach martial arts.
After Ji Junze returned to the Prince's Mansion, like everyone else, he followed his master to study and practice martial arts every day.
Compared with Qiu Ji's outspokenness, he seemed more silent and dim, with no signs of his true colors.
But one afternoon, the master who taught him martial arts suddenly suggested that he and Gongzi Wu have a sparring match.
"Among the Crown Prince's children, only the eldest son and son Wu are of similar age. They should set a good example for their brothers." said the master.
Jiang Wu was older than Ji Junze after all, so the master still worriedly told him, "Brothers, just stop when you have enough time."
Looking at Jiang Wu standing opposite him with a fierce look in his eyes, Ji Junze remained calm, only nodded to his master and replied calmly, "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wu punched him hard.
