Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Chapter 110: Move to a Palace Closer to Me

Yun Ji found that this question was even more tricky than the previous one. He did not answer immediately, but thought quietly.

Saying “I want to” will make you seem very ambitious and not one of the ordinary people; saying “I don’t want to” will make you seem content with the status quo and not motivated to make progress.

However, the fact that Yun Ting asked this showed that he wanted to improve his position.

It's so hard for the stingy Yun Ting to have such a heart. How could he easily give up this opportunity?

Yun Ji was a little distressed as he wanted a foolproof plan.

How could he inadvertently say, "I won't ask for it, but you have to know what's good for you and give it to me"?

"Don't be silent," Yun Jiyubai rubbed his hands and stared at him, his eyes never moving, "I want to hear your answer."

Considering that Yun Ting was eyeing the power that he could not obtain temporarily and was holding on to it tightly, Yun Ji decided to pretend to be magnanimous after thinking it over.

For a penny-pinching person like Yun Ting, retreating on the surface to gain actual progress would be more effective than "directly advancing".

Still trying to conceal her edge, Yun Ji smiled like a young woman who didn't know anything about affairs and only listened to her husband's opinions, pursing her lips and saying, "I will obey your Majesty's orders. Whatever your Majesty says, that's what it is."

"In the end, of course, I will make the final decision on this matter." Satisfied with Yun Ji's attitude of "obeying my husband in everything", Yun Ting tapped his palm with his finger, "But before that, I want to hear your thoughts."

Wanting to speak her mind, but feeling that this was not the right place to speak, Yun Ji hesitated and said, "From a sentimental point of view, of course I hope to be promoted, but from a logical point of view, I don't think I should be promoted."

"I am the only one here," Yun Ting gave him a reassuring look as if to comfort him, "You can speak freely."

When it comes to comprehensive analysis, Yun Ji becomes very excited. He can't help but have a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"The war in the north is tense, and the supply of military funds is very critical, but all the silver has been collected, and it is difficult to increase it. If we can't get more, we can only reduce spending.

"As concubines in the harem, we also represent the face of the royal family, so we naturally have to set an example. After I am promoted to a higher position, my food, clothing, and various allowances will inevitably become better, thus increasing my expenses."

"Well said," Yun Ting nodded, feeling that Yun Ji's remarks were very insightful, "I didn't expect that you were so thoughtful."

"Therefore, so that the soldiers fighting on the front lines can have enough food to fill their stomachs," Yun Ji said from the bottom of his heart, his eyes firm, "It doesn't matter if I don't get promoted to this position."

Unexpectedly, Lady Lian cared so much about the soldiers. Yun Ting nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You are a sensible person."

Knowing that it was not feasible to take credit, Yun Ji responded indifferently: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"I remember you said before that you have read a lot of books," patting Yun Ji's hand, Yun Ting's eyes wandered, "Can you manage things?"

Not only is he capable of managing affairs, but he is also capable of managing unusual family and national affairs. Yun Ji almost recommended himself.

Thinking that Nan Yingzhi had never been involved in anything, he could only be modest: "I am willing to give it a try."

"Okay," Yun Ting nodded and refuted his point a little later, "Your concerns just now are not a reason to hinder your promotion."

Seeing Yun Ji's puzzled expression, Yun Ting explained: "General Nan is very brave. He was able to win a great victory even though some of his own men had defected. Now the battle is one-sided. It is estimated that our army will be able to return victorious soon."

Without waiting for Yun Ji to speak, he said, "I will promote you to Zhaoyi, and you will follow the Empress and Consort Shu to learn how to manage the affairs of the harem. How about that?"

Finally having the chance to speak amidst Yun Ting's intense conversation, Yun Ji thanked him with full courtesy: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Do you want to move to a more spacious palace?" Thinking that Zhuixia Palace was not a good place, Yun Ting complained about its various disadvantages. "Your Zhuixia Palace is not only small in space, but also in a very remote location. It's time to move it."

He also felt that getting up early every day and paying respects was too tiring, but he was also afraid that if he lived in a palace that was not remote, he and Nan Yingzhi would have a secret meeting and would be easily discovered. Yun Ji shook his head slightly.

"Although Zhuixia Palace is remote, I am used to living here." He pulled his hand out and bowed to Yun Ting, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"You don't have the final say on this matter. I have to move you to a more spacious palace." Knowing that Yun Ji would definitely ask about his determination, Yun Ting smiled and explained, "I am tired of running to Zhuixia Palace every day."

Yun Ji was speechless when he realized that Yun Ting's constant talk of changing the palace for him was not for his own sake but for his own.

Since he couldn't make up his mind on the matter, why bother to go through the trouble of pretending to ask for his opinion?

"Let's leave it at that," Yun Ting sighed as he looked at the dark bamboo forest outside the moonlight, "It's a pity that it's getting late now, otherwise, I would love to have you move in right away."

Feeling that this was difficult to respond to, Yun Ji just said "hmm" and didn't say anything else.

"Let's go," Yun Ting asked Lan Fu behind Yun Ji to pick up the guqin, and then put her arm around his slender waist, "I'll take you back."

As Yun Ting seemed to be lost in thought and Yun Ji was absent-minded, the two of them remained silent along the way.

Just before they parted, Yun Ji remembered something.

Just now, Yun Ting only told him to move, but did not clearly say where he should move to.

He looked at Yun Ting and asked, "Your Majesty, where should I move to?"

"Oh," Yun Ting said with a smile on his face, "I thought about it along the way, and the only place close to the Yangxin Palace is Yaohua Palace, so you can live there."

Yaohua Palace?

Although he was not familiar with Yaohua Palace, after a few seconds of being stunned, Yun Ji was still able to slowly react based on his memory.

No wonder Yun Ting said that Yaohua Palace was close to Yangxin Palace. That was the palace of Shu Guifei, the most favored concubine besides himself!
