Chapter 788: You Guess Right

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Ken was puzzled. No matter what a person experienced, it was impossible for them to change so much in just a few days.

“The Consort Dowager is getting more and more arrogant! The two-tax system is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Generations of emperors have protected and followed it. The reason why our national treasury is so abundant is because of the contribution of the two- tax system. What does a woman like her know? She actually wants to abolish it just like that?” Ning Bianyi was fuming, and the people around him tried to calm him down, but it didn’t have much effect.

As for Ning Bianyi, he was about to spit out a mouthful of saliva when he noticed that Lord Si was acting particularly abnormally today. He did not speak to him and had not heard him say a single word since they had left the hall!

“Lord Si.”

“Lord Si?”

It was only when Ning Bianyi called out for the second time that Si Zhengliang came back to his senses. This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★

He furrowed his white brows. “What are you doing, Lord Ning? You’re so flustered. You’re not calm at all.”

Ning Bian choked and did not say anything else. He asked him, “Lord Si, we’ve been discussing this for a long time. Why haven’t we heard your opinion? When the time comes, should we jointly write a letter to her, or separately? Give us an idea!”

Si Zhengliang looked at him. Usually, whenever he mentioned the devil concubine, he would immediately look upset. At this moment, he looked confused. “Actually...”

“Aiya, Lord Si, what exactly are you trying to say?!”

Seeing that the others were also looking at him anxiously, Si Zhengliang sighed. “Then I’ll get straight to the point. Actually, I think the Consort Dowager is very bold this time. I’m impressed by her!”

“What?”

Ning Bian’s eyes nearly popped out.

Is Lord Si sick today?

Xiao Ken stood quietly at a crossroad.

At this moment, an idea sprouted in his heart.

And he wanted to confirm this thought..

He disappeared from the corner, and he strode toward the royal study.

Then, the scene from before happened.

As Su Ji was leaving the royal study and preparing to return to her room, she bumped into Xiao Ken, who was rushing over.

The young man was in a hurry. When he saw her, he stopped about ten meters away from her. The expression on his face seemed to relax, but Su Ji could still tell that something was on his mind.

He raised the jade flute in his hand and extended it in front of him. “Then, does the Consort Dowager know what this is?”

Su Ji pressed her finger between her eyebrows. “A flute?”

Xiao Ken shook the flute. “I’m asking about the pendant on it. Does Your Highness know what this embroidery is?

At this moment, he was standing ten meters away from Su Ji. It was really difficult for Su Ji to see what the small pendant was. Su Ji beckoned at him, and Xiao Ken walked up to her.

As he got closer, Su Ji saw it.

It had been a long time since she had seen such rough embroidery. The last time she saw it was when Madam Xu sewed her insoles when she was young.

Madam Xu was not one to do meticulous work, but she also hoped that Su Ji could feel her strong love for her from a young age.

Therefore, Xu Mingzhi would do things like cooking, sewing insoles, and mending clothes every few days.

She had to admit that she was quite talented in cooking, but when it came to needlework...

Su Ji thought that it looked familiar and she knew who made it.

The outer ring was pink, and the inside was white.

“A pig’s snout?” Su Ji made a random guess.

“What?” Xiao Ken was so angry that he laughed. “This is a morning glory!”

After knowing the correct answer, she lowered her head and looked at the

pendant again.

Or was it more like a pig arching its mouth...

“Your Highness can’t even recognize the patterns you embroidered?” Xiao Ken already had an answer in his heart. “Although this matter is very bizarre, I can already confirm that you are not her.”

Su Ji smiled and stopped teasing him. As she brushed past him, her voice was light and cold. “Alright, you guessed right.”

Xiao Ken looked straight ahead, his eyes slightly sluggish.

In the next ten days, Pei Huai’s timing of returning to the Great Shang became more and more fixed, and the time he spent there was also slightly longer. He began to set a date with Su Ji for their next meeting.

This way, his girlfriend would not need to spend time with Prince Huai.

After the two met, Su Ji would tell him about some matters in the imperial court. The decision to abolish the two-tax system had already begun to move forward. Su Ji wanted to finish this matter before she went back, so she was in a hurry.

Pei Huai’s advice always inspired her.. She did not want to admit it, but it was the truth..
