I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 118 Everything is fate

After Wen Zili left, Jin Jingni had already figured out what to do, and rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion before the palace gate closed.

Han Junyi and Wen Zili stood on the city gate and watched Jin Jingni's carriage leave.

"Your Highness, the princess has figured it out." Wen Zili said with a smile.

"She was able to figure it out thanks to Mr. Wen's lobbying." Han Junyi looked at the gradually disappearing back of the carriage with satisfaction.

"The princess is a smart person. I'm sure she knows how to convince Prime Minister Jin." Wen Zili smiled.

Jin Jingni rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion...

"Why are you back again, Jingni?" The Prime Minister's wife saw Jin Jingni running to the mansion every few days, and was afraid that something had happened between her and the prince.

"Mom, I have something urgent to tell you. Where's Dad?" Jin Jingni didn't bother to greet the Prime Minister's wife.

"Your father should be in the backyard." The Prime Minister's wife thought for a moment and said.

"Okay." Jin Jingni walked towards the yard without looking back.

"Daddy!" Jin Wenbo was indeed in the backyard.

"Huh?" Jin Wenbo turned around and asked, "Why are you back so late?"

Jin Jingni hurried forward and told Jin Wenbo exactly what Wen Zili had said. The more Jin Wenbo listened, the more solemn his expression became.

After thinking for a while, he spoke: "This is the choice that the prince asked us to make. Should the Jin family continue to be loyal to the Dadu Dynasty, or choose to perish!" Jin Wenbo clenched his fists and said: "This is no longer a warning, Jingni, I'm afraid the emperor is no longer able to survive!"

"Then what should we do?" Jin Jingni also understood this: "My daughter can only obey temporarily! Our Jin family should not be destroyed in our daughter's hands!"

"Yeah." Jin Wenbo nodded: "Jingni, I'm sorry for wronging you. It's daddy's fault. I shouldn't have forced you to marry Prince Yi." He regretted it now. If he hadn't bet on the wrong horse, there wouldn't be the current situation, where he is caught in a dilemma!

"Now as long as our Jin family is doing well, let's not mention the past. Dad, Jingni also has a responsibility!" Jin Jingni saluted Jin Wenbo and left in a hurry.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Residence, Jin Jingni went straight back to the palace. She knew that time was running out and she had to explain things to Han Junyi as soon as possible.

After entering the palace gate, she rushed to the study room anxiously, her steps hurried but cautious, for fear of breaking the tranquility. Finally, she stood at the door of the study room, gently pushed open the door, and saw the familiar figure at a glance - Han Junyi was sitting quietly at the desk, frowning slightly, as if he was in deep thought.

Jin Jingni took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Prince, are you busy?" Her voice was soft and low, as if she was afraid of disturbing the man in front of her. Han Junyi slowly raised his head and his eyes fell directly on Jin Jingni. His eyes were deep and sharp, which made people feel awe.

"Is there something wrong, Princess?" Han Junyi's tone was as calm as water, but it contained an invisible majesty.

"Your Highness." Jin Jingni said firmly, "Jingni is willing to give up the position of principal wife. Jingni also knows that Your Highness' heart belongs to Princess Zhaoping. However, Jingni is more aware of her position and responsibilities. Jingni is willing to put the overall situation first and put aside her personal desires. For the peace and harmony of Your Highness and the entire palace, she will make this difficult decision. I fully support all the decisions made by Your Highness."

Han Junyi raised his head, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Princess. I will remember your efforts and will never wrong you or the entire Jin family!"

Jin Jingni nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. She knew that this was the only way forward, but she was ready. In the ever-changing situation, could she turn danger into safety and maintain the family's honor and peace? Everything was unknown...

Early the next morning, Jin Jingni brought a large group of palace servants to the palace where Zhaoping lived.

"Are you used to living here? Princess Zhaoping." Jin Jingni said gently.

"Everything is fine." Zhao Ping said calmly. He just stared at Jin Jingni in confusion, wondering what she wanted to do!

"That's good. I heard that Princess Zhaoping has always liked lake views. It so happens that there is a Wangxin Lake in our Dadu Imperial City where you can go boating to the center of the lake. The scenery is quite pleasant. If Princess Zhaoping has nothing to do, would you like to go for a tour in Wangxin Lake?" Jin Jingni said.

"Okay, Zhaoping, I've heard a little about it." Zhaoping was quite interested when he heard it. He really liked the pleasure of boating on the lake, so he was willing to go.

"I have arranged everything, Princess Zhaoping, please come in!" Jin Jingni said happily when she saw that Zhaoping did not refuse.

"Princess Yi is sure that Zhaoping will agree." Zhaoping also directly exposed Jin Jingni's thoughts.

"Jingni also likes to plan ahead for everything." Jin Jingni was not embarrassed after being exposed by Zhaoping. She quite liked Zhaoping's straightforward personality, and she didn't have to hide anything when speaking.

When they arrived at the shore of Wangxin Lake, they found Han Junyi already waiting. She glanced at Han Junyi, then at Jin Jingni standing beside him, wondering if these two people had teamed up to wait for her. But it was also good this way, as it saved her the trouble of looking for fun.

Han Junyi walked towards Zhaoping with a smile on his face, his eyes revealing a kind of tenderness and kindness. "Princess Zhaoping, long time no see!" Han Junyi said softly. Zhaoping smiled slightly and responded: "Yes, long time no see, Your Highness Prince Yi."

Han Junyi went on to say, "Today the princess asked me to prepare a boat to entertain Princess Zhaoping, and we're going to go boating on Wangxin Lake. The scenery here is beautiful and pleasant, and I believe it will make you feel happy and relaxed. Come, Princess Zhaoping, please get on the boat." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned Zhaoping to get on board.

Zhao Ping nodded and stepped onto the bow carefully. Han Junyi followed closely behind her, carefully supporting her. After Zhao Ping sat down safely, Han Junyi also sat beside her.

The boatman gently waved the long pole, and the boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the center of the lake. The breeze blew on the face, bringing a slight coolness that made people feel relaxed and happy. The lake water was clear and the fish were swimming in the water as if welcoming them. The rolling mountains in the distance looked particularly magnificent under the sunlight, like a beautiful picture scroll unfolding before their eyes.

When the boat reached the center of the lake, Han Junyi ordered people to serve some exquisite snacks and tea. "I specially asked the chef to prepare this for you. It's all the flavors that Princess Zhaoping likes," Han Junyi said with a smile.

Zhao Ping took a bite and it tasted really good. "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yi."

"Princess Zhaoping, actually there is something else I want to tell you today." Han Junyi looked at Zhaoping, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Ping was shocked and waited for Han Junyi's next words.

"I hope you can become my princess." Han Junyi said solemnly.

Zhao Ping was not very surprised, as she had guessed it long ago, but she pretended to look at him in surprise, as if she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"I fell in love with Princess Zhaoping at first sight!" Han Junyi said affectionately.

"But, Your Highness Prince Yi, you are proposing to me in front of Princess Yi. Isn't this unfair to Princess Yi?" Zhao Ping smiled and pushed Jin Jingni out.

"Princess Zhaoping, please forgive me for making you laugh. Actually, Jingni is only a concubine. Now the prince's heart belongs to Princess Zhaoping, and Jingni also hopes that the prince can marry the beauty!" Jin Jingni smiled and said to Princess Zhaoping. "The prince is willing to marry the princess as his principal wife. Please fulfill the prince's love."

Zhao Ping was really enlightened when she saw the two of them singing in unison. It was rare for a queen to be so magnanimous.

"It's so sudden. Zhaoping wants to go back and think about it." Zhaoping said with a red face.

"Okay, I will wait for the good news from Princess Zhaoping. I will wait for Princess Zhaoping no matter how long it takes!" Han Junyi said with deep affection.

"Yeah." Zhao Ping responded perfunctorily.

This awkward situation lasted until we got off the boat, and Zhaoping made an excuse to leave.

"Your Highness, I feel something is strange?" Zhaoping's maid Zhen'er said with a frown.

"Zhen'er is smart, but she is indeed eccentric!" Zhaoping smiled, "It's just that my father sent me on a diplomatic mission this time, and the main task is to form an alliance with other countries. Today there is a Prince Yi, tomorrow there is another Prince Yi, and the day after tomorrow there is another Prince Yi. I thought to myself, I'm going to marry someone anyway, so Prince Yi may be a good idea, because looking at the whole situation, only Dadu is not as powerful as Dai. Even if I marry him, Prince Yi will still give me some face, fearing the Dai behind me. If I marry to Zhao or Yan, how many princesses in the alliance will have a good ending!" Zhaoping sighed. If she hadn't been born a princess, she would have wanted to marry her beloved in a plain and simple way, instead of becoming a tool for her father's marriage.

"Princess is right." Zhen'er naturally heard the disappointment in Zhaoping's tone.

"Zhen'er is luckier than me!" Zhaoping said with some envy.

"The princess is talking nonsense." Zhen'er quickly stopped Zhaoping from continuing. "We are tired too, let's go back and rest early."

Zhao Ping nodded without saying anything. Everything is determined by fate, and no one has any control over it!

The next morning, Zhao Ping had just finished washing up when Jin Jingni came again, taking Zhao Ping on a rafting trip and acting as a lobbyist. This process was repeated for the next two days. Zhao Ping finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Today, Jin Jingni just stepped into the palace where Princess Zhaoping lived, and saw Princess Zhaoping walking out.

"Where are you going, Princess Zhaoping, so early?" Jin Jingni looked at Zhaoping with a smile.

"Go find His Royal Highness Prince Yi and tell him your feelings." Zhao Ping glanced at Jin Jingni, nodded slightly, and walked out...

"Princess Zhaoping, how come you have time to come to see me today?" Han Junyi's face lit up with joy when he saw that the person coming was Zhaoping.

"Zhaoping is here to tell His Royal Highness Prince Yi about her feelings." Princess Zhaoping spoke softly with a smile on her face and a determined light flashing in her eyes. Her voice was as pleasant as the sound of nature.

"Princess Zhaoping, please speak." Han Junyi stared at Zhaoping intently, his eyes full of expectation and desire, as if he was waiting for some important answer.

Zhao Ping took a deep breath, and then said softly: "Zhao Ping is willing..." Before she finished her words, a shy blush appeared on her cheeks, and then she lowered her head, not daring to look at Han Junyi again.

Han Junyi was so excited that he almost jumped up after hearing this. He immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Great! I will write a letter to Dai immediately to invite the emperor to come." His voice was full of joy and excitement, as if the whole world had become beautiful.

At this moment, Han Junyi was in a very happy mood, and he couldn't wait to share this good news with everyone. Zhao Ping stood quietly aside without saying a word. She knew that from today on, her fate with Han Junyi would be closely linked, and they would walk towards the future path of life together.

"Okay, Your Majesty will arrange everything." Zhao Ping said in a low voice with a red face.

Han Junyi immediately issued a notice to the world, and the news spread like wildfire in the imperial city.

"What? Prime Minister Jin's daughter is only a concubine. I thought she was the principal wife!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Jin is so upset!"

"Of course Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to be a concubine! If you use your brains, you will know that the Princess definitely wants a principal wife!"

"That's right, it's a pity for Princess Yi, ah no, the concubine."

"I think it would be a great benefit for our country if the princess became Prince Yi's wife. What does the daughter of Prime Minister Jin mean to us?"

All kinds of rumors spread quickly to Jin Wenbo's ears like a whirlwind, and these words made him very angry and annoyed. On weekdays, when he was in court, he clearly felt that some colleagues had a clear contemptuous attitude towards him, which made him very angry. He thought to himself: "Isn't a concubine a concubine? I am a prime minister, but I am despised by these people!" Although these people did not dare to offend him in person, they pointed fingers behind his back, which made Jin Wenbo extremely annoyed. He thought to himself: "After Jingni becomes the queen, I must teach these ignorant guys a lesson!" He made up his mind to let these people know how powerful he is and to make Jingni proud.

Jin Jingni heard the rumors from the outside world. Although she felt bitter, she did not show it. She knew that her status and identity could not be compared with Zhao Ping, and she did not care about it.

Soon after, the Emperor of Dai came to Dadu at the invitation of Han Junyi. At this time, Dadu was decorated with lights and was full of joy. The wedding of Han Junyi and Zhaoping was held grandly under the attention of the public, and the whole city was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

The wedding scene was beautifully decorated, with gorgeous palaces, bright lights and exquisite decorations. Han Junyi was handsome and elegant in his gorgeous clothes, while Zhaoping was beautiful and charming in her phoenix crown and bridal robe. They walked hand in hand on the red carpet, accepting the blessings and cheers of everyone.

However, behind this joy, Jin Jingni watched all this silently, with a heart full of forbearance and pain. She was sad for Han Junyi, but she couldn't watch others take away what originally belonged to her, but she couldn't stop him from marrying Zhao Ping. She knew that her identity and status could not be compared with Zhao Ping.

Jin Jingni stood quietly in the corner, tears welling up in her eyes. Why did she end up like this?

Although she was in great pain, Jin Jingni still held back her tears and smiled to congratulate Han Junyi and Zhao Ping. She also secretly vowed in her heart that when everything was settled, she would definitely take back her position and not let the Jin family be looked down upon again!
