The eldest eunuch was also sitting in the carriage, dressed very ordinary. Apart from his temperament and appearance, he was wearing a blue palace robe and looked like an ordinary eunuch.
Watching the interaction between the two, the eunuch couldn't help but frown secretly. The emperor and the princess were too distant. Both of them were so polite. They had clearly been admiring flowers and chatting in the garden together a few days ago. The emperor even picked flowers for the princess. Why did their relationship seem no different from before?
The eunuch was secretly puzzled.
When the team had advanced for a while and Ji Xingzhi and others were about to reach the Ji family, a man came up on horseback from behind and blocked the team's way.
When the leader Zhang Qian saw the person coming, he couldn't help but frowned, raised his hand to signal the team to stop moving forward, and looked at the person who was blocking the way - Wu Fang.
Wu Fang dismounted and immediately bowed to Zhang Qian, saying, "Wu Fang greets General Zhang."
Wu Fang is now one of the most popular people around the little emperor.
Zhang Qian looked down at Wu Fang without changing his expression and asked, "Master Wu, thank you for your courtesy. What is the important matter that has stopped the carriage?"
Wu Fang nodded slightly: "Exactly."
Zhang Qian waved his hand again, and the soldiers and palace maids retreated in an orderly manner to both sides, leaving a path in between them: "Master Wu, please come in."
At this moment, because the carriage had been stopped for quite some time, Ji Xingzhi had asked the eunuch to lift the curtain and ask.
Xiao Juan, who was standing beside the carriage, replied, "It's Master Wu."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch was about to lower the curtain to report to Ji Xingzhi, but when he turned his head slightly, he saw Wu Fang striding towards the carriage. Seeing this, the eunuch had no choice but to ask Xiaojuan and the palace maid standing on the other side to pull up the curtain.
As soon as the curtain was drawn, Ji Xingzhi and Ji Ruhua looked out the door and saw Wu Fang lifting his robe, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Your subordinate Wu Fang pays homage to the Emperor, the Princess, and the Grand Eunuch."
Ji Xingzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Wu Fang expressionlessly and said, "You'd better have something important to say."
Wu Fang lowered his head slightly and replied, "Reporting to the Emperor, the princess learned that the Emperor and the Princess went out without her, and is making a scene in the palace. Now the palace is in chaos."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he drooped his eyelids and fell into deep thought.
Xu Yu and Ji Ruhua saw that Ji Xingzhi was in a difficult situation, so they said sympathetically, "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace. The princess is in a bad mood. If something bad happens, Ruhua will go back by herself."
Ji Xingzhi frowned and looked at Ji Ruhua, still a little hesitant: "But... I already agreed to accompany you back today. If I return to the palace now, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"
Ji Ruhua smiled softly. "Your Majesty, we can go another day, not just today. Besides, Your Majesty didn't promise anything to Ruhua, so how can you be unfaithful?"
As soon as the words fell, Ji Xingzhi's brows slowly relaxed, and he looked at Ji Ruhua with a smile, praising her generously: "Ruhua, you are truly unparalleled in talent and beauty."
Ji Ruhua lowered her head slightly and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."
Ji Xingzhi nodded and turned to look at the eunuch: "Eunuch, why don't you go to the Ji family for me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xingzhi secretly winked at the eunuch. Because of Wu Fang's interruption, the fact that Ji Xingzhi and the eunuch were in the carriage was no longer a secret. With the eunuch accompanying Ji Ruhua and watching from the side, Ji Ruhua would not be bullied in the Ji family.
