The prince was always easily inspired by these things, and upon hearing these words, he instantly regained his former spirit.
He didn't stay any longer and left in a hurry.
Wu Weian hid behind a tree, avoiding the prince and staring at his back deeply.
Until now, Wu Weian still can't forget the scene just now.
This prince, sitting on the swing he made himself, chatting and laughing with his wife?
That's the place he reserved for himself!
Behind, Xuezhu was sweeping the floor and dodged when she saw this.

After the prince left, Ji Yunxi leaned aside slowly and opened the book again.
There was a slight sound, the sound of feet hitting the grass.
Someone was standing behind her and was about to raise his hand to grab the swing.
Ji Yunxi warned coldly: "If you dare to shake, you will sleep in the side room of the mansion tonight and don't come back."
Wu Weian: “…”
He was quiet for a moment and withdrew his hand.
Wu Wei'an walked to the swing nearby, stared at it for a long while, and suddenly said, "Xuezhu!"
Xuezhu appeared in front of him.
Wu Wei'an pointed at the swing and said, "Wipe it well, wipe it several times."
Xuezhu: "Oh."
He took out a rag from his arms and began to wipe the swing.
Wu Weian didn't sit down until Xuezhu wiped it three times: "You have a good relationship with the prince?"
Ji Yunxi looked at the book and replied intermittently: "Generally."
Wu Wei'an: "I think you two were having a very happy conversation just now."
Ji Yunxi glanced at him leisurely: "The prince is always talkative and can't sit still. He must be feeling pent up these days."
Although the prince's status is noble outside, he has often visited Ji's house to see Ji Mingxi since he was a child, so Ji Yunxi knows the prince quite well.
This is also why she is willing to support the prince's party.
This prince has been a chatterbox since he was young and is destined to be a hard worker.
In other words, her elder brother can bear it.
After all, no matter what the other party said, the eldest brother seemed to be listening very seriously and could give sincere feedback in time.
But Ji Yunxi observed several times and found that her brother was actually distracted while listening, and his replies were all some universal golden sentences that would never go wrong.
Wu Weian gently exerted force with his long legs in front, and the swing, which was obviously taller than Ji Yunxi's, began to swing.
While playing, he casually said, "Madam really understands the prince."
Ji Yunxi shrugged: "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."
"Really?" Wu Wei'an swung back and forth, his voice rising and falling, "Does the lady understand me?"
The swing next to me swung louder and louder.
The swings on both sides share the same tree in the middle, which caused the swing on Ji Yunxi's side to swing as well.
She closed the book with a snap, stood up from the swing, looked at the person who seemed to be about to swing to the sky, but was still able to hold on easily, and said, "I remember that you don't like sour food."
Wu Wei'an hummed: "I like sweet food."
Ji Yunxi pulled the corners of her lips and sneered: "Really? But I think you can handle sour things."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Wu Wei'an on the swing: "???"

Wu Weian went home, swung on the swing for a while, and then went to the government office to do some business.
As soon as the person arrived, a registrar hurried forward and said, "Sir!"
The registrar pointed at the man who was flipping through the files and questioning Wen Zhaomo: "This man says he is the crown prince! Is that true?"
After all, they were just small officials from Liangzhou and had never met the prince before.
And there was no news from the capital that the prince would come?
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.
The prince also saw Wu Weian coming in and waved to him.
Wu Weian walked forward.
The prince asked, "In the Liangzhou area, the rainy season is from April to June every year. Wei'an, have you made all the arrangements?"
Wu Weian nodded thoughtfully: "Your Highness, it's almost done."
But the prince was still worried: "Have you checked the dike? Are the granaries fully stocked with food and fodder?"
Wu Wei'an: "I've seen it and I've prepared everything."
The prince nodded: "That's good."
Wu Wei'an tapped the table with his fingertips, watching the prince carefully flipping through the files, trying to find something to do for himself. He suddenly smiled and said respectfully, "Your Highness."
The prince raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Wei'an: "Your Highness has been recuperating from injuries for the past few days, so I'm sorry to bother you. But actually, I've just been transferred to Liangzhou, and there are some things I'm not sure how to handle. Could you please help me, Your Highness?"
The prince frowned and said, "You can speak at will."
That day, Wu Weian threw most of the work he had on hand to the prince.
That night, Wu Weian returned to the backyard early to have dinner with his wife.
However, when he looked at the table full of dishes, he was unable to pick up his chopsticks for a moment.
Pickled fish.
Pickled cabbage.
Minced meat and sour beans.
Sweet and sour pork ribs.
Each of the four dishes was steaming with sour flavor.
Ji Yunxi looked at him with a smile, her tone very concerned: "Why don't you eat?"
Wu Weian: “…”
Ji Yunxi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pickled cabbage, and put it into his bowl: "You've been working hard recently, eat more. It will be bad if you have to cook when you're hungry in the evening."
Wu Weian: “…”
He lowered his eyes, put down his chopsticks, stood up, turned around and left.
Ji Yunxi said calmly, "Stop."
Wu Weian took three more steps, but finally stopped.
Ji Yunxi: "Come back."
Wu Weian sighed lightly and returned to his seat.
Ji Yunxi didn't bother to pay attention to him and just picked up the chopsticks to eat.
After a while, the Poison Lady came in with two dishes on the left and right.
Braised pork. Sweet.
