Chapter 17 The Consort is doing the work of a guard and worrying about the Consort
If a woman who has been against you for a long time suddenly reveals one day that she is a man and says she wants to marry you, what would you do?
1. Promise him.
Second, reject him.
Yun Xi chose to slap him again.
"Xie Yan Ge, what's wrong with you?" Yun Xi scolded mercilessly, "Do you think I'm also a homosexual?"
"You've known I was a man since we were little, and now you admit I'm a woman?" Xie Yange said, "I thought you always knew."
He had been in poor health since childhood, and a fortune teller said that he had a weak destiny and that he would live a long life if he was raised as a girl, and that the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Unexpectedly, when he first entered the palace as a child, Yun Xi exposed his true identity.
From then on, he had his eyes on the princess.
In fact, he also wanted to return to his male body, but he never had the opportunity. Yun Xi was the only one who recognized him as a man. She was more playful than the others and could not stand being teased. When teased, she would blush and glare at people. Xie Yange loved to see her angry and helpless look.
"I'm serious. Would you consider marrying me? If you marry me, I won't make you angry anymore."
With both of her hands strangled by him, Yun Xi thought quickly and kicked him in the lower body. Xie Yange's face immediately turned black, allowing Yun Xi to break free.
She slid again and they both fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xie Yange acted as a cushion for her in time, preventing Yun Xi from getting hurt.
However, Yun Xi didn't want to thank him. She got up on her own and beat up Xie Yange, whose face was black and blue, so badly that he couldn't get up for a while.
Yun Xi shook her hair, took a few steps back, and gave him a middle finger. "I wouldn't even consider you if I married a dog."
Since childhood, Yun Xi would make this gesture after a private quarrel with him, which meant contempt.
Xie Yange frowned in pain, too angry to speak: "I □□ ..."
Her father is the emperor, so he can't have sex with her.
He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Just wait for me."
He will never forget this kick today.
In fact, when Yun Xi thought of some plots, she wanted to kick him to pieces, but she still kept a trick.
Without looking at him again, Yun Xi turned and left.
When she returned to the mulberry tree, she unexpectedly did not see Ji Xun. She didn't know where he had gone. There was only a set of footprints left under the tree, which went away into the distance and disappeared on the road.

Taikun Palace.
"With your skills, Master Ji can only serve as a guard beside the princess. It's really a waste of your talent. Why don't you join our general? He will definitely train you well."
The young servant sent by General Xie walked side by side with Ji Xun in Taikun Palace, and Duan Song followed beside them.
Duan Song and the servant sandwiched Ji Xun in the middle. Ji Xun had a cold expression on his face as he listened to the other party talk about various benefits.
After sending Yun Xi away, Duan Song immediately found Ji Xun and brought him to meet General Xie's people.
Everything should be based on their plan. Ji Xun remembered this and came silently. However, he had no intention of talking to the waiter. He looked vaguely towards the shooting range and simply responded a few times.
"Well, what's your decision, Master Ji?"
The young servant asked.
Ji Xun stopped, his eyes silent, and thought for a moment.
The young servant raised his eyes quietly and glanced at him. This was the first time he saw a guard with such an extraordinary temperament. He had an upright posture, and just standing there quietly gave people a feeling of indescribable nobility, which made people curious about his true origins.
With just one glance, he was able to win General Xie's favor. He was definitely not an ordinary person. General Xie had been on the frontier for years and had seen at least eight hundred people with extraordinary martial arts skills. If this Master Ji followed General Xie, he might become his master in the future.
Seeing that he was silent, Duan Song smiled and said, "Ah Xun, what do you think?"
"I can consider it." Ji Xun opened his thin lips slightly, "I need some time."
The young servant smiled and said, "General Xie will set out for the Wei-Liang border in half a month. Master Ji can take his time to think about it."
After handing Ji Xun a jade pendant, the waiter left on his own. Duan Song was genuinely happy to see him accept the jade pendant.
"Finally, we've taken the first step," Duan Song said. "As long as you can join the Zhenxi Army, this trip to Chang'an will not be in vain. When do you plan to go?"
Ji Xun's eyes were calm: "I know what's going on."
Hearing this, Duan Song smiled and said, "Okay, I will wait for you at the Zhenxi Army."
*
The sun sets and the sunset glows intoxicatingly.
Under the mulberry tree in the distance, Ji Xun saw a red shadow squatting under the tree with its back to him, not knowing what it was doing.
He walked towards her, his steps silent and silent, and stopped behind her.
Looking down from above, I saw her squatting there, like a child, teasing ants with a branch. A few dead leaves had fallen from her dark hair, but she was completely unaware.
Suddenly, Yun Xi was shrouded in a shadow. She turned around, met Ji Xun's cold gaze, and muttered softly, "You're back."
She waited for him here for a long time. But he was gone for so long that she thought he had returned home first, so she ran outside and found the carriage still parked there.
"Didn't I tell you to wait here for my news?"
Although nothing happened this time, what if something does...
In fact, Yun Xi knew what Ji Xun was doing. In the original novel, Ji Xun was taken in as a guard by the prince and was also appreciated in the Imperial Academy.
He has already made a name for himself in the Imperial Academy and will definitely attract the attention of General Xie.
Yun Xi was also very happy for him, but she felt a little guilty when she thought about their future. He would rise higher and higher, while she would fall lower and lower until the day she became the princess of a fallen country.
Her father only has three months left, and she can only choose between giving birth to a child or waiting for the country to be destroyed.
"I'm sorry to have kept Your Highness waiting..."
Ji Xun looked at her and saw that she suddenly burst into tears and kept wiping her face with her little hands.
He hesitated for a moment, his eyes moving slightly.
She didn't know why, but she was able to remain calm when she heard General Xie's words. But after seeing Ji Xun, she couldn't control her tears and couldn't help crying while sitting under the tree.
The girl deliberately lowered her voice, trying to make herself look less embarrassed, but her intermittent sobs revealed her current mood.
She cried until her eyes were red, and the golden hairpin on her head was like a flower trembling in the wind. From time to time, she raised her head to wipe her tears, like a poor kitten being bullied. Despite this, she did not take her anger out on Ji Xun, but just cried silently.
Neither of them spoke anymore, one stood and the other sat, their shadows under the mulberry tree stretched infinitely long by the setting sun.
Ji Xun waited quietly for her to finish crying. At this moment, a butterfly flew over and landed on Yun Xi's head, as if deliberately disturbing her.
He stretched out his hand and was about to touch the butterfly's wings when it flew away. Yun Xi just looked up and his hand stopped at her cheek.
Ji Xun's eyelashes trembled slightly. It would seem unnecessary to retract them for no reason at this time.
He thought for a moment, and used his thin fingers to wipe away Yun Xi's tears, gently, as if a feather brushed past.
The girl's tears were a little hot. They spread and disappeared on her fingertips, leaving behind a faint warmth.
"Don't cry." He said in a low voice with his Adam's apple moving slightly.
Yun Xi was startled, then noticed that it was almost dark, so she quickly calmed down. When she was about to stand up, she found her legs were numb.
Sensing that she was unwell, Ji Xun lowered himself to one knee with his black sheathed scimitar as support, “Come up.”
Just like that time in the Imperial Garden, Yun Xi was carried on his back with her arms around his neck.
He caught Yun Xi's calf, and the cold silver wristband pressed against the soft skirt, making Yun Xi shiver and hug him tightly.
Ji Xun carried her on his back, each step taken very steadily. Yun Xi did not speak, so he took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness can deduct my salary."
"...Why should I deduct your salary?" Yun Xi had just finished crying, and her voice still had a hint of tears in it, which made people's ears numb.
"I neglected my duty and failed to obey His Highness's orders."
Yun Xi lowered her eyes: "I don't blame you, I'm just in a bad mood."
All her difficulties were caused by the original plot, not Ji Xun's fault.
"Why?" Ji Xun asked, unconsciously lowering his voice, like a clumsy comfort.
Yun Xi leaned on his back, and then she lay on him, finding a comfortable position. "Nothing, I just remembered some unhappy things... Ji Xun, if one day you find a better way out, you must move forward, but don't forget me."
"Um?"
"I'm so sleepy."
It's easy to feel sleepy right after crying. After a long day, she was finally about to give up. Yun Xi rested her head on his shoulder, her eyelids drooping, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Xun didn't say anything else. After sending her to the carriage, Yun Xi still held on to him and refused to let go, leaning her whole body in his arms.
The intimacy between the two fell into Yuan He's eyes, making her blush and her heart beat fast. She couldn't help but smile: "Guard Ji and His Highness can ride together. I'll go outside."
Ji Xun nodded and lowered the curtain.
Before the carriage started moving, another carriage pulled alongside theirs on the other side. It turned out to be Duan Song.
This is a familiar scene.
Duan Song was just about to come over and say hello to Yun Xi, but he didn't expect that it was Ji Xun sitting in the carriage. When he saw Yun Xi sleeping in Ji Xun's arms, his eyes widened.
"Axun, you and her really..." Duan Song couldn't bring himself to utter that word.
They were so close that it looked as if something had happened before. The Chang'an nobles knew the reputation of the royal princesses, and once they reached a certain age, they would find various lovers.
Ji Xun didn't understand what he meant: "What's wrong?"
"Have you done that kind of thing with her? Now is not the time to indulge in beauty." Duan Song advised earnestly.
Ji Xun looked at him coldly: "..."
"Okay, whatever you say," Duan Song said. "In short, Her Highness Roujia will be the one who gives birth to the crown prince. If you don't want to be associated with the Wei royal family, it's best not to leave any evidence."
"Since Your Highness is asleep, I won't disturb you any further."
"Wait." Ji Xun stopped him, "I have something to ask you."
Duan Song waited for his next words.
"Your Highness is unhappy today. Do you know why?" Ji Xun thought for a while and asked.
Duan Song: "???"
"You've been thinking about this for so long, and now you're asking this?" Duan Song thought something big was going on, and he was nervous. "She's unhappy, how would I know why? Did she punish you in anger?"
"No."
"Then why do you care about her? You are just her guard, not her consort. There is no need to care about these things."
