Girls...?

Ji Fengyao looked puzzled. Could it be that her mother, in order to save her trouble, not only wanted her brother to get a wife, but also wanted him to take a concubine at the same time?

“Well, we can’t favor one over the other. I’ve spoken to your mother and asked her to find someone for Ah Chen as well,” Ji Chenhai said, looking at Xiao Chen with great affection.

"puff!"

Ji Fengming had just taken a sip of tea to rinse his mouth when he dramatically spat it out again.

The repeated spitting out of tea at this table drew frequent glances from Chen Xiaoyi and the others over there.

What's wrong with those people at that table?

If you can drink the tea, then drink it; if you can't, why keep spitting it out?

Are you washing the face of the person sitting across from you?

The tea stall owner was also very careful, repeatedly checking his tea leaves and the water boiling in the pot, afraid that it was his fault and he might get beaten up later.

Black Owl's lips twitched: "Emmmmm... Uncle Ji..."

"I know, I know, young people are all shy, let's not talk about it anymore," Ji Chenhai said calmly, raising his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said loudly, "Have you all rested enough? Let's continue on our way."

Xi Que grabbed Lin Shuang's hand, about to speak, but Lin Shuang stopped her.

Lin Shuang shook his head at the magpie.

She liked Black Owl's story, and she wanted to tell him herself, not in front of so many people, especially at this time.

Otherwise, if Black Owl rejected her, how embarrassing would that be for her?

Ji Fengming: "..."

Black Owl: "..."

Two unfortunate brothers were arranged to go on blind dates by their parents without anyone noticing. What a miserable situation!

At this moment, the palace, the Duke of Chen's mansion, the Eastern Palace, and the Qiwu Palace were all filled with joy.

The Ninth Prince, that suffocating scourge who had been pressing down on everyone, has finally left the capital for the border, and the capital is back under their control.

What excited them even more was:

This time, under the emperor's hint and guidance, all the major forces secretly dispatched their most skilled assassins to intercept and kill the Ninth Prince.

No matter how powerful the Ninth Prince is, he is still a human being.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

So many forces joined together, so many people;

Can he dodge the first day of the month, or the fifteenth?

If the Ninth Prince makes even the slightest mistake, he will die without a burial place!

Emperor Shang Xiche, who hadn't visited Qiwu Palace in a long time, went there with great enthusiasm after learning that the Empress had also "requested" the Duke of Chen's mansion to hire martial arts figures to hunt down Shang Xiye. He even stayed overnight, which was unprecedented for him.

Having grown up in the deep palace of the capital, Shang Xiche had always had a limited understanding of the affairs of the martial arts world: "Empress, who exactly are those martial arts figures you mentioned, and are they reliable?"

Chen Ziyun knew that he was being paranoid again. She rolled her eyes contemptuously in the darkness and said softly, "They're just a bunch of muscle-bound brutes. They only care about money and never about people. Once the deal is done, they go their separate ways. There's no such thing as reliable or unreliable."

Shang Xiche was finally relieved after hearing her say that.

One is willing but unable;

One who doesn't want to be touched at all;

The two of them chatted peacefully under the covers, neither of them feeling anything was amiss.

Shang Beiyu, now dressed in a black robe,

First, he squatted on the top of the Qiwu Palace and listened to the eavesdropping for a while with great interest;

I then took a stroll around the Duke of Chen's residence and the Eastern Palace;

I have witnessed the ugly side of these people.

He was quite satisfied with the performance of these ordinary "little fleas" that he had manipulated.

In a rather good mood, he leisurely made his way to the Ninth Prince's residence, intending to visit his beloved little female bandit.
