Chapter 911 Hunting (4)
Seeing that Concubine Jing had stopped talking, Xie Jingxing put his arm around Shen Miao's shoulders and said, "My Royal Brother, if you have nothing to do, I will take Jiaojiao for a walk first. She just came to Longye and is not familiar with the people yet." After saying this, he took Shen Miao away without caring about Emperor Yongle's expression.
After walking a few steps, they saw Ji Yushu running towards them excitedly. He ran to them and stood in front of them, saying, "Third brother, sister-in-law!"
Shen Miao looked at Ji Yushu's brilliant smile and couldn't connect the pawnshop owner who had run a pawnshop in Mingqi for many years with the young master of the Zuo Tu family in Daliang. She asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Why do you always call him Third Brother?"
"Huh?" Ji Yushu was stunned and looked at Xie Jingxing: "Didn't you tell your sister-in-law?"
Seeing Xie Jingxing didn't comment, Ji Yushu scratched his head and smiled at Shen Miao, "Actually, I should call him Third Cousin. Third Cousin and I are cousins. He's the youngest among the brothers in the clan. Third Cousin's mother is my aunt. We are cousins."
Shen Miao finally understood after hearing Ji Yushu's explanation. It turned out that Ji Yushu's mother and Xie Jingxing's mother were sisters from the same mother. Ji Yushu was also considered a royal relative, and Xie Jingxing was a cousin. No wonder Xie Jingxing always criticized Ji Yushu, yet he always looked after him.
Ji Yushu chuckled twice and rubbed his hands. "I heard that my mother has also met my sister-in-law. She also said that my sister-in-law is very good, dignified and virtuous, and a lady from a noble family. If it weren't for my third brother's early action, cough cough, he would blame me for not marrying a beauty like my sister-in-law back to Mingqi."
Xie Jingxing said calmly: "Ji Yushu, do you want to go to the tower prison?"
"I was just joking!" Ji Yushu jumped up and ran away as if his butt was on fire: "I heard Gao Yang is here today, I'm going to see him... Sister-in-law, take your time!"
Disappeared into the distance.
Shen Miao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and turned to ask Xie Jingxing: "Gao Yang is here too? Why didn't I see him?"
"He is a minister, so he probably came late." He added, "Gao Yang is the Minister of Defense."
Shen Miao smiled: "I know."
"You are quite capable. You can even find out Gao Yang's identity." Xie Jingxing said with a half-smile.
Shen Miao's heart was moved, and she was speechless. She knew Gao Yang's identity because in her previous life, when Ming Qi came to pay tribute, it was Gao Yang, not Xie Jingxing, who came. At that time, as Princess Ding, she had also met Gao Yang. In this life, Xie Jingxing had never told her Gao Yang's specific identity. It seemed that from the beginning, Shen Miao's attitude had tacitly accepted that she had known Gao Yang was Xie Jingxing's man for a long time.
Fortunately, Xie Jingxing didn't dwell on this issue any further, and simply said, "When the hunting begins, you follow me to the outer field and hunt some rabbits and wild storks. At the hour of Si, I will go to the inner field with my brother the emperor. I will leave the guards with you, and you can wander around the inner field at will, just outside." After a pause, he continued, "My aunt is here today too. I asked Ji Yushu to tell her that if I don't come back later, you should go back to the city with my aunt, and she will take you to the Prince's Mansion."
"You didn't come back later?" Shen Miao looked at him suspiciously. In fact, Xie Jingxing had always been very confident in what he did. In Mingqi, as the heir of the Lin'an Marquisate, he was able to complete his plans with ease under the watchful eyes of the Fu family, which was enough to prove that he was not a person who would act in a hurry. However, Shen Miao's feeling was really bad this time, so when she followed Xie Jingxing here today, her tone was full of doubt.
"Don't worry, my brother and I have already made preparations." He smiled ambiguously: "It's not even two months yet, how could I bear to die..."
