Jiang Wei walked alone, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from them.
"Have you heard? The War King who guards the border has returned to the capital." The girl, Li Sisi, said excitedly.
"You mean that War King who's almost thirty, with dark circles under his eyes, a full beard, a body as strong as an ox, and whose gait makes the ground shake?" Hong Xinyue's words carried a hint of disdain.
Li Sisi dared not respond to such a question. Her father was merely a fifth-rank official, and she would never dare to discuss the current emperor, let alone an invincible prince.
She longed to marry the War King.
As long as she can marry the War King as his principal wife, she doesn't care whether he is incredibly ugly or as strong as an ox. At the very least, her status will be elevated, and she will no longer have to follow Hong Xinyue around and flatter her.
In this way, whenever she attends a banquet, many people will flatter her. In the capital city and even the Great Xiao Kingdom, there are few noble ladies in these circles who have a higher status than her.
Even the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Hong Xinyue, who is right in front of us, will have to obediently bow when she sees her.
But for now, all she could do was nod obediently and whisper an "Mmm".
Hong Xinyue simply gave a cold "oh," glanced at Li Sisi, and walked inside with her head held high.
Jiang Wei felt annoyed. To run into such a group of people so early in the morning, let alone those guarding the border, were princes who should have been living a life of luxury in the capital.
Even if he is just an ordinary soldier, he should be worthy of their respect. If it weren't for them guarding the border and protecting the country, how could they be here to attend the banquet without any worries?
A soft "pfft" sounded behind Jiang Wei. "Who do we have here? You don't even want a general who protects the country? What? Do you really think you're some kind of extraordinary genius who wants to marry a celestial being?"
Hong Xinyue frowned and turned around. Sure enough, it was Gao Youlan, whom she hated the most.
Gao Youlan wore a bright red dress and had her hair styled in the same flying fairy bun, only slightly different from Jiang Wei's.
Jiang Wei's style was more graceful, while hers was more charming, adorned with a pair of lifelike golden butterflies.
