Beneath the shade of the trees stood a stone table and four stone benches. Three men and one woman sat on each side, tea and delicate snacks on the table. The four of them chatted and laughed until Ji Xingzhi appeared. All four of them simultaneously turned their gazes towards her.
The four men in blue were drinking tea slowly and leisurely. The one who was calm and elegant was Xiao Moyan.
The one with white hair and a kind face is the eunuch.
The other two were people Ji Xingzhi hadn't seen for many years.
The man was dressed in a black brocade robe with gold thread trim, a black gold belt around his waist, his hair tied up with a black crown and a black jade hairpin. His eyebrows were long and deep, his eyes were narrow, his lips were slightly pursed, and his features were well-defined. He was playing with a white porcelain teacup in his hand, and his face showed the familiar and meaningful smile that Ji Xingzhi had seen for the first time was the day she was announced as the Crown Prince of Lizhou.
The other woman was wearing an emerald green silk skirt with a light gauze coat on the outside, a waist-binding dress, and her long hair was tied up high, without a single strand left. Her hair was shining with pearls and flowers, and two hairbands were tied to her bun, hanging behind her head. She lowered her head, had high eyebrows, skin as white as cream, bright eyes and white teeth, and was as gentle as spring.
Looking at these two people, Ji Xingzhi's eyes widened: "Scamming father and mother?"
Xiao Qingyan was stunned for a moment after hearing Ji Xingzhi's words, then she smiled and covered her lips with her hands. She went forward and hugged Ji Xingzhi in her arms, and asked softly, "Xiaozhi, have you missed your father and mother in all these years?"
In contrast to Xiao Qingyan, Ji Jiangshen's face darkened after hearing Ji Xingzhi's blurt-out words. What had this girl just called him? "Scam dad"?
The eunuch couldn't help laughing, and even Xiao Moyan's hand holding the cup paused slightly.
What's that called?
Ji Xingzhi looked at her beautiful and gentle mother and rolled her eyes inwardly. These two had gone on a trip just a year after she was born, and now they'd only returned six years later. And they still had the nerve to ask her if she missed them? Could she say no? Her heart was filled with the Emperor's uncle. How could she have the time to think about these irresponsible parents?
However, looking at Xiao Qingyan's moist eyes, Ji Xingzhi sighed secretly. If she said she didn't want to, her mother would probably cry in a minute. At that time, her treacherous father, the vengeful guy, might chop her to death with a knife.
So, Ji Xingzhi just nodded slightly and said, "I do."
However, Xiao Qingyan still shed tears after hearing this, and cried bitterly while hugging Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi glanced at Ji Jiangshen, and unsurprisingly saw the unhappy expression on the face of his scumbag father.
"Yan'er, don't cry, your eyes will hurt soon." Ji Jiangshen finally couldn't help but walked over to rescue Ji Xingzhi from Xiao Qingyan's arms, and wiped the tears from Xiao Qingyan's face with a distressed look.
Xiao Qingyan pursed her lips slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't seen Xiaozhi for six years. During those six years, you didn't let me come back to see Xiaozhi. Now that I finally see her, you won't let me cry?"
Ji Jiangshen sighed: "Okay, it's all my fault. Stop crying and be happy. I feel bad for you crying like this."
Xiao Qingyan burst into laughter and said, "I am crying for joy..."
Ji Xingzhi: “…”
Seeing his idiot father and his queen mother showing off their affection again, Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched. Could he please show some care to the three single people present?
Ji Xingzhi walked over to stand next to Xiao Moyan and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Emperor, why are my father, the emperor, and my mother here?"
Xiao Moyan put down his teacup and said, "I heard that you were kidnapped, so I came back to see you."
Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched upon hearing this. Was he just stopping by to visit? Sure enough, he wasn't her biological child...
