Otherwise, Shang Xiye would have left the capital without being summoned.

If the emperor and empress dowager find out about this, they will definitely make a big fuss about it.

Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao escorted them to the outside of the city.

Ji Chenhai hugged Ji Fengyao tightly, then glared at Shang Xiye and said, "If you dare to make my Yao'er sad, upset, or wronged because of marrying that damn princess, I'll skin you alive when I get back to the capital!"

“I’ll definitely break your legs!” Ji Fengming added.

Hei Xiao pursed his lips and said calmly, "Xiao Jiu, you must protect Xiao Yao'er."

Wu Zhong, who was standing nearby, quickly turned his head and looked around:

The scenery in the border town is really beautiful; the snow is especially thick and white!

Shang Xiye: "..."

My own wife, do I need you to tell me?

However, he still earnestly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect Yao Yao and not let anyone bully her, including myself."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he was admiring the scenery.

Damn!

The master is really spoiling his wife without any limits now, he can even say such things!

Ji Fengyao was also at a loss for words, neither laughing nor crying.

Every time they parted, her father and eldest brother would threaten Shang Xiye.

This time, Black Owl has been added too!

Fortunately, Shang Xiye cares about her a lot and doesn't mind these things, otherwise, the psychological trauma would be enormous.

"Alright, Father, Brother, Brother Xiao Chen, it's getting late, we should set off." Ji Fengyao hugged them one by one, mounted her horse, and waved to them with a bright smile: "The Prince and I will be waiting for you to come back to the capital for hot pot and drinks!"

"Okay, little sister, I love meat, so prepare more meat for me later!" Ji Fengming shouted after her.

Black Owl watched the little beauty gradually disappear into the distance, feeling a pang of reluctance. Seeing Ji Fengming's carefree demeanor, he took two steps forward and called out loudly, "Little Yao'er, you promised to take me to climb over all the walls in the world and pick all the flowers. Don't forget."

"Okay! I remember everything!" The little bandit's soft voice carried on the wind from afar.

"Hmm?" Ji Fengming paused, turning abruptly to look at Hei Xiao: "Picking flowers? When did you ever do such a thing?"

Black Owl awkwardly scratched his nose: "..."

This wasn't just youthful ignorance or a spur-of-the-moment slip of the tongue; once words are spoken, they are like water spilled on the ground...

"What nonsense are you spouting? He's so old, isn't it normal for him to find a wife?" Ji Chenhai stepped forward and smacked Ji Fengming on the back of the head, looking fierce. "And you, kid, you're not young either. You should be climbing over walls, jumping out of courtyards, finding a girl and having a few kids so your mother and I can learn from others and hold our grandchildren."

Ji Fengming: "..."

Black Owl: "..."

Why do I suddenly feel so uncomfortable after being scolded?

In the past few days, many palace servants and eunuchs have been coming and going, and red decorations have been placed on several main streets of Kyoto; almost everyone in Kyoto has a premonition of the joy of the Ninth Prince's upcoming wedding.

The young women and sisters-in-law in Kyoto, who were secretly harboring resentment, were all gossiping:

"Look at this, this is the proper wedding ceremony that the Ninth Prince should have!"

"A prince of the blood paired with a princess raised by the Empress Dowager herself—this is a match made in heaven!"

"Exactly! Look at that bandit who came into the city before. Although she was welcomed by all the officials, what kind of person was she? She was like a tigress on the street, terrifying!"
