In the Ji family mansion, General Ji had a beloved son who was as cute as a porcelain doll from a young age. Five months later, he became so adorable that everyone in the general's mansion adored him.
However, Madam Ji wouldn't let anyone get close, not even her personal maid. She said that Ji Ying was her and General Ji's son, and she would raise him herself, not letting anyone else interfere.
However, General Ji and his wife both knew that Ji Ying was a girl. Initially, Consort Ji was so overjoyed that she spread the wrong information, which affected many interests. Therefore, they had no choice but to accept the mistake and name her Ying, a name that could be used for either a boy or a girl.
"Giggle." A soft, cute voice rang out. Lifting the curtain revealed a pair of clear, round eyes, and a wide smile that was even more captivating than the twin porcelain dolls beside her.
"Ying'er, come here to your mother." Madam Ji waved to Ji Ying, who stretched out her soft little hand, placed it in Madam Ji's palm, and then mischievously took it away.
"You're such a little rascal. You must never leave your mother's side in the future, or you'll lose your life."
"Giggle." Ji Ying is almost a year old. Her speech is not clear, but she loves to laugh.
"Madam, I'm sorry, I dozed off and didn't know the young master had woken up." The maid rushed in, and Madam Ji told her not to worry and to go about her business, and to take Ji Ying out for a walk.
I was just strolling around when I saw General Ji hurriedly leading a three-year-old child over. The child had big, frightened eyes and crystal-clear, fair skin that was even more beautiful than my daughter's.
"Master, isn't he the Ninth Prince's youngest son?" Madam Ji carried Ji Ying and walked over gracefully. General Ji told her to keep her voice down and that he would arrange for someone to send her to a safe place that night.
"Little brother?" The first beautiful child Xie Yuancheng saw was Ji Ying, who couldn't speak yet. He reached out his slightly dirty little hands to hug her. "Mrs. Ji, can I hold you?"
"Ying'er, the little prince wants to hold you. Shall we let him hold you?" Madam Ji asked someone to fetch water for Xie Yuancheng so he could wash up and change into clothes that Ji Ying would wear when she grew up.
Ji Ying blinked her big eyes, looking curiously at her slightly dirty older brother in front of her. She wrinkled her little nose and immediately turned her head away, her little eyebrows furrowed together, struggling to prevent Xie Yuancheng from hugging her.
"Ying'er, you mustn't be rude," Madam Ji said, and Ji Ying burst into tears, looking particularly aggrieved. Having only this one precious child in her life, Madam Ji loved her dearly and held Ji Ying in her arms to comfort her.
"Me." Xie Yuancheng knew that his embarrassing situation was what made his younger brother distant. Indeed, he had personally witnessed the magnificent mansion in a mess, people being pushed into the fire, and heard their cries of agony. He was too young to do anything about it and had even wet his pants.
"My little brother must be disgusted with me, but I'll marry you when I grow up. Will you marry me?" A childish voice rang out, and General Ji and his wife both laughed.
Ji Ying snorted. Her grandmother smelled sweet, and she didn't want to marry this dirty little guy who wet his pants.
"Ying'er, the young prince is asking you a question, speak quickly." Madam Ji had been in the manor for a long time and rarely interacted with children. Ji Ying couldn't speak, so she wanted to tease her a little.
"Your name is Ying'er, so, Ying'er, will you marry me?" Xie Yuancheng asked persistently, his small body brimming with energy. He really loved the soft and adorable younger brother in front of him and wanted to marry him!
"Marry me, marry me, marry me~"
The sound kept echoing, and I finally remembered what Xie Yuancheng looked like back then. He was really disheveled, stubborn, and a little cute.
"I'll marry you, Yuancheng~ I'll marry you." I reached out and hugged the person in front of me. I couldn't let Xie Yuancheng be sad. I wanted to be with him.
"Ying'er, you want to marry me even when you're sleeping in broad daylight? Wake up!"
"Huh?" Am I dreaming? I quickly touched the person next to me and found myself lying on Lin Yang's bed. When I looked up, I could see Xie Yuancheng's handsome face, which was both charming and enigmatic.
"I heard you clearly that you want to marry me." Xie Yuancheng is the kind of person who can argue with me for ages over the smallest things, and he insisted on asking me what I dreamed about.
I told him the story intermittently, knowing he was concerned about his image, so I comforted him. When I was a child, if I encountered a three-year-old child whose home had been ransacked, unless he was possessed, I would be terrified.
"At first, she wouldn't let me hold her. She turned her little face to the side, and her chubby little face made me unable to resist stealing a kiss, and then she started crying loudly."
"Stop talking. I was just a kid back then, how could I understand so many things? I was less than a year old, how could you expect me to understand you like I do now?"
"My younger brother turned into a younger sister, and she even had three children with me." He was about to start nagging again, so I quickly nodded. This was his biggest worry, and as long as Xie Yuancheng liked it, I would agree with him.
"With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, a new court has been formed. My father-in-law and the others have already resigned from their posts and will return to Linyang in less than a month."
Why don't you go to the capital and kneel down to pay your respects?
I warmed his hands, and another winter came. We've been together for over ten years. Xie Yuancheng doted on me every day. He's become much more mature and steady than before. He always says that I haven't changed at all, that I'm still his Ying'er. Of course I am his Ying'er.
“If I go, Linyang will be in some trouble. Don’t worry, the late emperor has elevated Da Zhao to a very high position. If this new emperor wants to continue to be glorious, he will not make things difficult for the vassals and princes of the fiefdoms, unless he wants Da Zhao to be divided into many parts.”
"Indeed, the Crown Prince has gotten what he wanted, but he still shows mercy to his brothers, allowing the Second Prince to remain in the capital."
"It's a pity about Li Yi. We'll ask him when my father-in-law and the others arrive."
"Why are you so worried about him? You should be worried about us. Xizhi has already passed the county-level exam and wants to take the provincial-level exam."
