The Fourth Prince’s Mansion, the back garden.
"Oh? Is that true?" Xiao Jingyan played with the jade cup in his hand, glanced at the invisible who reported the news, and his smile became even wider.
"It's absolutely true. I dare not lie to you." Wuxing was dazzled by the smile of the man in front of him and lowered his head hurriedly.
Xiao Jingyan sighed softly, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the moon he hadn't seen in a long time, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my ninth brother would be so impatient and do such a ridiculous thing. I said that feelings are the most useless thing, why didn't he listen?"
Being overwhelmed by so-called feelings will only make you sad and hurt your body. Why bother?
Wuxing heard this and looked at him, his eyes flashing. He said in a muffled voice, "I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is deeply in love with the Second Young Master Chu, that's why he acts this way."
Jamel Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and looked at him with a sharp gaze, “Hmm?”
Wuxing met those cold eyes with a start. He gripped his sword tightly and lowered his head hastily. "My words were wrong. I hope the master will forgive me."
"Forget it." Xiao Jingyan retracted his gaze, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Go and tell everyone about this matter. I want to see if my ninth brother can bear it."
"Your subordinate... obeys your command." Wuxing felt inexplicably disappointed and left in a hurry, not daring to look at him.
Jamel Xiao looked at the person who was running away in a panic, and his smile disappeared.
Soon, the news that Xiao Jingwen broke into the Shangshu Mansion at night and violated the second son of the Chu family spread in the capital, and the news became more and more outrageous.
When pedestrians passed by the Shangshu Mansion, their eyes looked quite strange.
On their way to the morning court, Chu Junyao and Chu Shangshu also received strange looks from civil and military officials.
The two of them realized something was wrong and their hearts sank.
Chu Junyao felt vaguely uneasy, he felt that this matter must be related to Yan Xi's affairs.
Glancing at the expressionless Xiao Jingwen above, he clenched the jade token tightly in his hand.
As expected, when the emperor arrived at the conference hall, he became furious and questioned him about humiliating the second son of the Chu family.
Chu Junyao's face turned pale. As Chu Junyao had kept it a secret, Minister Chu only found out about it today. He looked at Chu Junyao with disbelief and asked him.
Chu Junyao's silence directly irritated him, and he fainted from anger, causing chaos in the court.
After waking up, Minister Chu insisted on asking for an explanation. The emperor pretended to be heartbroken by Xiao Jingwen's behavior and pretended to be embarrassed by it, and confined him to his room for half a year.
However, at this time, urgent news came from the border that the Huns suddenly invaded the border with great speed and captured two cities in a row. Fengyang State, which bordered Dongli State, saw this and watched covetously. The situation was very urgent.
Xiao Jingwen immediately volunteered to go to the border to resist foreign enemies and atone for his sins.
Minister Chu and Chu Junyao also knew that this was not the time to cause trouble, so they didn't say much.
However, several ministers advised that this was feasible.
After hesitating for a moment, the emperor finally gave the order and sent Xiao Jingwen to the border to repel the Huns, with only success allowed.
Time was short, and three days later, Xiao Jingwen led his troops on their journey. However, on that day, he waited outside the city gate for a long time, but never saw the person he wanted to see. Instead, he waited for Xiao Jingyan.
He was smiling as always, gently waving a white paper fan, and said in a very humble tone, "Ninth brother, you must return victoriously, otherwise, when I am with Yan Xi, no one will be there to watch."
Xiao Jingwen looked at him with dark eyes, curled his lips, and smiled slyly, "Don't worry, when you come back, I will give you a big gift."
After saying this, he spurred his horse and left with his army.
Xiao Jingyan, who rarely smiled, had a frozen smile on his face, his expression gloomy.
It was three days later that Yan Xi learned that Xiao Jingwen had taken the initiative to go to the border to fight.
At the same time, he also found out that someone had leaked the affair between him and Xiao Jingwen, causing a huge uproar.
Chu Junyao and Chu Shangshu firmly opposed him leaving the house at will, fearing that he would be upset.
Yan Xi didn't want them to worry, so he stayed in the mansion obediently, eating and sleeping every day, just to complete the tasks assigned by the teacher.
After that incident, Murong Xing no longer avoided it and often came to the Shangshu Mansion to see him.
Of course she also has selfish motives.
That is, I want to spend more time with Chu Junyao.
That day, she had already made everything clear to Chu Junyao and expressed her feelings.
He originally planned to tell Yan Xi, but who knew that would happen. Chu Junyao thought Yan Xi liked Murong Xing and was afraid that their relationship would upset him again, so he decided to keep silent.
I hope to wait until this is over before I talk about it.
Murong Xing did not object and agreed silently.
So, naturally, the marriage proposal was temporarily put on hold.
Time flies and two years have passed.
It's summer now and the weather is getting hotter.
The sun was shining brightly that day.
Yan Xi was enjoying the cool under a tree in the courtyard, eating sweet red cherries, while Liu Ye stood beside him, fanning him.
Life is very comfortable.
"Hmm, Liu Ye, you should try it too. These cherries are big and sweet. Where did you buy them?" Yan Xi stuffed his mouth full with his eyes shining brightly.
"Second Young Master, you can help yourself." Liu Ye shook her head, fanning herself and smiling as she said, "I bought these from a foreign merchant. Their fruit is super sweet and relatively cheap. I know you like sweet things, so I bought a lot. Oh, and I also bought some melons, which should have been delivered by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over with a basket of melons.
Liu Ye immediately opened it happily and showed it to Yan Xi.
