Chapter 189: Holding and Feeding
First, Xiao Chujing asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Ji Wenyi's attitude towards his good brother is much friendlier than towards her.
He held Ye Xiaoman in his arms like a princess, and turned towards the direction where Xiao Chujing's voice came from amid Ye Xiaoman's silent screams.
"I want to take you to a banquet."
Xiao Chujing: "Oh?"
"My junior sister doesn't like me socializing outside."
Xiao Chujing, although I didn't say this, you have a good awareness. Can you turn around and leave this place of trouble immediately before you recognize me?
Ji Wenyi was used to Xiao Chujing talking about his junior sister all the time. He knew Xiao Chujing's temper and told him his purpose directly.
"Today, I invited the Protector General of Wei and his generals to drink together."
"Wei Duhu is the general guarding the Western Regions. The western border of the empire borders the Demon Region. The demons have been invading our borders for many years, and the monks on both sides have been fighting frequently."
"Protector Wei is in need of personnel. Brother Xiao is a man of great talent, but it's a shame that he's confined to a small sect in the mortal realm. I intend to recommend you to him."
Ji Wenyi extended an olive branch to Xiao Chujing.
As long as Xiao Chujing agreed, he could give Xiao Chujing a high official position on the spot.
The royal family is wealthy and powerful, and it is a good job for a monk to serve as a general, as he not only holds real power but also receives a lot of salary.
Ji Wenyi was able to give Xiao Chujing a good job because, on the one hand, he really regarded Xiao Chujing as a brother, and on the other hand, he needed to rely on Xiao Chujing's strength.
The aristocratic families shared the world with the imperial power, relying not only on their ancestors but also on the military power of various regions. The aristocratic families used military power to protect their fiefdoms, monopolize the cultivation resources in various regions, and in turn check and balance the imperial power.
It is precisely because he is worried about the dispersion of military power that Ji Wenyi has not been able to wipe out the nine major families in one fell swoop.
Ji Wenyi wanted to gradually replace the generals from all over the country with his own people.
"If you can't bear to leave your little sister behind, you can take her with you."
Xiao Chujing had no reason to refuse.
He agreed.
He had long wanted to take Ye Xiaoman on a journey around the world, away from the wolves like Sikong Qing who were eyeing him covetously in the sect.
Ji Wenyi offers a generous salary, and the junior sister will be happy to go with him.
After training in the imperial army for a few years and accumulating some training resources, he headed west and took her to see the world.
They got married in the middle of the journey and became true Taoist partners.
Xiao Chujing stood up from the branch of a big tree and removed the leaves that were covering his face.
The Prince's Mansion is full of spiritual energy. He drank with Ji Wenyi last night and lay on a tree to sober up.
After a night's sleep, I had a beautiful dream of traveling around the world with my junior sister.
Perhaps he had just woken up and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams, and he seemed to hear the voice of his junior sister just now.
He sat up, on a high place, and pushed aside a bunch of leaves that blocked his view. His high ponytail had fallen loose from sleeping, with the ends of his hair resting on his shoulders, and he looked at Ji Wenyi from a distance.
I was surprised to see that Ji Wenyi was holding a woman in his arms.
The flowers are blocking the view and it is difficult to see clearly.
The royal family's clothing was complicated, and Ji Wenyi's wide sleeves almost covered the woman's petite body. The woman might be shy, and she couldn't help but bury her head in Ji Wenyi's arms without raising her head, and she also grabbed the sleeves to cover her head.
Even though Xiao Chujing had extraordinary eyesight, he couldn't see people's faces clearly.
All he found was that the woman was wearing the clothes of a concubine in the palace, a white dress with a wide light yellow cloak with the royal emblem on it.
It is obvious that this is a concubine in the palace and her rank is not high.
Through this detail, Xiao Chujing knew clearly that Ji Wenyi had stolen his father's concubine.
Such cases of adultery among royal families were common among the six realms and twelve continents, and he was not surprised by them.
He pretended to be unaware of Ji Wenyi's scandal and teased with a smile: "Brother Ji, have you found your Mingyue?"
Ji Wenyi neither answered yes nor denied it, but just smiled without saying anything.
He felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. In the Yongzhou City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Chujing held his junior sister to seek medical treatment, and they had also talked for a few words.
But times have changed, and now he is holding a woman in his arms.
Xiao Chujing did not go forward to find out what was going on.
When he and his junior sister were hugging each other, he didn't like to be disturbed.
He stood up from the tree and made an excuse to leave, "I'm going to wash up."
Ji Wenyi said, "Meet at the back door in half an hour. We'll ride in the same car."
Xiao Chujing nodded, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Ji Wenyi took the sleeve off Ye Xiaoman's head and saw her curled up in his arms like a frightened quail. "Why is your face so pale?"
"Hungry, hungry," Ye Xiaoman said with dull eyes. She was afraid that Xiao Chujing would hear her voice, so she leaned over and whispered in Ji Wenyi's ear, "I was in a hurry to keep the appointment and didn't have breakfast."
Ji Wenyi felt her breath was as fragrant as orchid, and she seemed to be deliberately sticking to him to act coquettishly. He felt a little pleased with it, and verbally mocked her: "You haven't eaten, but you still have the energy to seduce me."
He held her in his arms and walked to the pavilion where they often dined and asked someone to serve them food.
Xiao Chujing left temporarily, and Ye Xiaoman lived for a small half of her life, but the other half was still dead.
Not long after, Ji Wenyi took her to meet Xiao Chujing, and they had to be in the same space.
Even if she was burned to ashes, as long as her whole body appeared in front of Xiao Chujing, Xiao Chujing would be able to recognize her at a glance.
Ye Xiaoman was listless. Not only did she not have the energy to serve Ji Wenyi, but she also looked listless when she grabbed the spoon to feed herself porridge.
Seeing this, Ji Wenyi held her on his lap and fed her himself.
It was his first time doing this and he was very unskilled.
He held the jade bowl in one hand and a soup spoon in the other. He scooped up the porridge with spiritual food, tasted it, and found it was a little hot, so he blew it to cool it down. When he estimated that the temperature was just right for eating, he put it to Ye Xiaoman's lips.
Ye Xiaoman opened her mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
Like a doll without a soul, or made to be soulless, being manipulated by a man.
I accidentally fell in love with Ji Wenyi's hobby.
He had fun.
Ye Xiaoman continued to be distracted.
No, she can't meet Xiao Chujing later.
She racked her brains and finally came up with an idea.
She communicated with Xiao Chujing via telepathy.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I heard from my sisters that there's a Red Makeup Shop on the North Street of the Imperial City. The skilled craftsmen they employ are the best in the six realms, and the jewelry they produce is the most exquisite and practical."
[As soon as new products are released, they will be snapped up by the ladies. ]
[The eldest sister asked someone to snatch a phoenix-head hairpin made by Hongzhuangfang, and she showed it off to us for a long time.]
[They happen to be releasing new products today. Could you help me go there?]
She whispered softly and acted coquettishly.
[I really want a Hongzhuangfang storefront.]
Xiao Chujing immediately replied: "Brother, go right away. I'll buy them all for you, okay?"
Ye Xiaoman urged: "Hurry up, it will be gone if you go too late."
It was rare for Xiao Chujing to hear Ye Xiaoman acting like a spoiled child with him, and his soul flew to heaven: [Okay.]
On this side, Ji Wenyi fed Ye Xiaoman a bowl of porridge, but she was worried and couldn't eat anymore.
Ji Wenyi then stopped and fed her a top-grade pill that could restore her energy.
Ye Xiaoman resisted passively: "I don't feel well. Can I go back to the palace?"
Ji Wenyi picked her up and walked towards the door: "There is no progress between us. You must stay with me today."
