Chapter 673 Gu Shuyan is Jealous
Upon hearing Gu Shuyan speak, Yun Yichen immediately smiled.
"Alright, I know I was wrong today. I shouldn't have come out looking like this and offended those women. You can deal with me however you like when we get back, as long as you don't get too angry."
As Yun Yichen spoke, he moved closer to Gu Shuyan, and Wuyin quickly jumped out of the car.
It was so embarrassing. Her mistress didn't even know how to restrain herself. She was still a young lady, after all.
Seeing Wuyin leave with a shy expression, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but blush.
This man is so shameless these days.
"I'm not angry if anyone's angry."
Gu Shuyan said defiantly, but as soon as she finished speaking, her lips felt hot as Yun Yichen's handsome face was slapped in front of her.
And so, Gu Shuyan was unable to say anything more.
On the frontier, the soldiers' New Year celebrations are different from those in the capital.
Compared to the lively celebrations across the country, the New Year festivals in the border regions are more solemn and dignified.
After all, they bear the safety of the nation's people on their shoulders. At such a time, in case of a sneak attack, none of the soldiers guarding the city dare to relax for even a moment.
Of course, this doesn't mean that there's no festive atmosphere at all in the border regions; at least, the food is just as good.
Because they had hunted a lot, the soldiers in the army were able to eat wild game.
Most importantly, the soldiers who didn't have to guard the city could get together and have a few drinks.
The cooks also saved the portions for the soldiers who needed to defend the city, so that everyone could have a few sips when the shift changed.
Inside Ji Wenxuan's tent, Xu Yunzhi grabbed a chicken leg and took a big bite, then took a sip of wine and let out a very comfortable sigh.
Ji Wenxuan couldn't help but glare at him as he acted as if his tent was his home.
“I remember, last New Year’s Eve, we were in my sister-in-law’s courtyard just like this, eating meat and drinking wine just like this.”
Xu Yunzhi spoke slowly, and when he looked up, he met Ji Wenxuan's murderous gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? I remember you were trying to take that last piece of meat from me. Given the situation this year, you shouldn't be trying to take it from me!"
As Xu Yunzhi spoke, he took another big bite.
"All you ever think about is eating! Are you a pig?"
Ji Wenxuan said irritably, but he obediently pulled off a chicken leg and took a big bite.
"But you're still eating it yourself."
Seeing this, Xu Yunzhi was not angry because of Ji Wenxuan's words. On the contrary, he found it funny because Ji Wenxuan had also started eating.
Ji Wenxuan took a sip of wine and said somewhat unclearly, "Anyway, you'd better leave as soon as you're done eating. This is the military camp of my Great Zhou, and we don't welcome a crown prince from a neighboring country. Besides, aren't you afraid that my grandfather and second uncle will find out your identity and come here to capture you alive to blackmail the Jin Kingdom?"
Ji Wenxuan's second sentence was merely a threat to Xu Yunzhi, while the first sentence was his main point: to make him leave quickly.
"I'm not afraid!" Xu Yunzhi said nonchalantly. When Ji Wenxuan glared at him again, Xu Yunzhi immediately put on a wronged expression.
"It's freezing cold outside, you really have the heart to kick me out? What if I freeze to death outside, and the Crown Prince of Jin dies outside the Great Zhou army camp? If Jin finds out, do you think they will seek justice for me?"
"When the Great Zhou and the State of Jin go to war, I don't know who will win or lose, but the Ji family will definitely be the sinners of the Great Zhou."
Xu Yunzhi's tone did not explicitly threaten Ji Wenxuan, but the content of his words was a blatant threat.
"you……"
Ji Wenxuan was furious, but he really couldn't kick Xu Yunzhi out.
"Good heavens, how come I've spent two New Years with you? What bad luck have I run into?"
Ji Wenxuan took a big bite of meat, and seeing him wolfing it down, Xu Yunzhi quickly gave him another piece.
"Don't rush, don't rush. I can't possibly eat all of this by myself. No one will take it from you."
Xu Yunzhi's words were so infuriating that Ji Wenxuan, with puffed-out cheeks, could not retaliate and had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Just wait and see how I deal with you another day.
Ji Wenxuan thought this way, but his body honestly accompanied Xu Yunzhi to finish the meal.
The next morning, Xu Yunzhi was fast asleep when Ji Wenxuan shook him awake with great force.
"What time is it? Still sleeping?"
Ji Wenxuan shouted in an annoyed tone.
Xu Yunzhi simply turned over and continued to snuggle under the covers, fast asleep.
Seeing Xu Yunzhi like this, Ji Wenxuan kicked Xu Yunzhi and the blanket to the ground.
"Stop dawdling. It's the first day of the new year, so we have to do our morning exercise."
Then, Xu Yunzhi was captured by Ji Wenxuan and taken to the training ground. Surrounded by soldiers, Ji Wenxuan and Xu Yunzhi successfully fought.
At first, Xu Yunzhi was a little confused and didn't understand why he was repeatedly at a disadvantage when he fought Ji Wenxuan.
However, after a short while, Xu Yunzhi regained his spirits and, without thinking too much about what had gotten into Ji Wenxuan, he decided to fight him on the first day of the new year. He immediately started practicing.
The two had faced off a year ago, and their match was evenly matched and it was difficult to determine a winner.
Because it was that battle back then, Ji Wenxuan has been training intensively for the past year, all in order to win this battle beautifully.
However, a year later, just when Ji Wenxuan thought that Xu Yunzhi was no match for him, he actually managed to fight Xu Yunzhi to a draw.
"It looks like you've made progress this year."
After venting his anger, Ji Wenxuan's rage from last night subsided considerably, and he even began to admire Xu Yunzhi somewhat.
After all, Xu Yunzhi is a crown prince who will become emperor in the future, so he will naturally have countless experts protecting him.
Even so, Xu Yunzhi never slacked off; in fact, he practiced martial arts diligently, which led to the scene where they fought to a draw.
"You're not bad either!"
Xu Yunzhi was clearly surprised that Ji Wenxuan had tied with him again, but this made things even more interesting.
If only he improves while his opponent remains stagnant, Xu Yunzhi might find the fight boring and unchallenging.
"Shall we arrange to fight again next time?"
Ji Wenxuan felt that it was great to have a worthy opponent, and therefore, his dislike for Xu Yunzhi disappeared.
Meanwhile, at the Prince Xian's residence, Lu Hexuan sat alone around a large table of dishes, feeling somewhat depressed.
"Go and see why the princess hasn't returned yet."
Lu Hexuan is truly content with this life now. Sometimes, apart from secretly going out to find Ji Wenjin, he spends all his spare time with the Princess Consort.
Today, Lu Hexuan was genuinely angry that his princess insisted on going to the palace.
