Xiao Ji: ...
All soldiers: ...
The strict military discipline meant that no one spoke as they entered the city, making the voices of the people on both sides of the street exceptionally clear.
What made them feel so strange was none other than the praise and evaluations of the general by the common people.
They wondered if they were hard of hearing and had misheard, or if a girl had been whispering sweet nothings about the general and even expressing a desire to marry him.
Are there any children who want to be soldiers like them, fighting alongside generals? Are they all praising them?
Why is this different from when they returned from the battle six years ago? They killed just as many enemies in that battle.
How strange! This is too strange. Let them listen again; they must be hallucinating...
...
Oh, you know what?! Seriously, you know what I mean!!!
The people are indeed praising the general and them, and what they're saying is truly pleasing to the ear!
Oh my, Grandma! It's been six years, no, almost seven years! I never thought they would hear such sweet words again.
I thought that this time, with the general leading them to wipe out the Jinlou in one fell swoop, the people would start complaining again that the general and they were bloodthirsty, but I never expected this...
Oh my goodness, what's going on this time? Why have all these people changed their ways? Did the sun rise in the west today? How can this be so frightening?
Listen to these sweet words, one after another, making them feel flattered and unaccustomed!
Xiao Ji also found it strange, but he was used to keeping his emotions hidden and remained expressionless until he saw Shang Changge at the agreed-upon restaurant.
They gaze at each other from a distance that is neither too close nor too far.
Shang Changge leaned against the window like a lazy wildcat, her elbows resting on the windowsill, her hands cupping half of her cold and beautiful profile.
Her upturned phoenix eyes were alluring and captivating, staring intently at Xiao Ji.
Seemingly expressing affection, yet also mischievously stirring emotions and captivating without being noticed, her luscious lips slowly parted and closed, silently asking a question:
"Do you like the gift I gave you, my husband?"
Especially the last two words, which Shang Changge uttered extremely slowly.
It doesn't matter if you can't understand the beginning, as long as your husband, General Xiao, can understand it, since he really likes it when she calls him that.
Xiao Ji understood. His eyes, which naturally seemed to look at everything with deep affection, were only ever truly affectionate when he looked at Shang Changge.
I learned to look directly into the eyes of the woman I love, silently conveying my feelings.
I love you.
There are no superfluous words, yet it is not merely concise. Rather, it is a profound expression of deep emotion, containing and carrying a thousand words.
Shang Changge smiled and silently replied, "I love you too," before blatantly blowing her a kiss, displaying a very high-profile and arrogant attitude.
But this high-profile arrogance lasted less than three seconds, because after blowing the kiss, she took advantage of the crowd's attention focusing on Xiao Ji and Da Jun.
With lightning speed, he slammed the window shut, pretending that no one had ever passed by.
"This tea is good."
After closing the window, Shang Changge sat elegantly and drank tea, casually praising its taste in the simplest and most straightforward language.
Qingyao: ……
Suzaku: ...
The two little girls thought to themselves: Princess, your ability to change your expression faster than flipping through a book is quite impressive...
Shang Changge's ability to change her expression is indeed quite impressive. She took a sip of tea and immediately suppressed her sweet, intimate feelings with Xiao Ji, her voice now sharp enough to be serious.
"Qingyao, go tell the restaurant manager that the dishes I just ordered can be made. Pack them into food boxes and we'll take them with us later."
"Zhuque, go back to your residence. Have the physicians in the residence prepare to accompany me to the palace later. Also, go to the Ghost Market and send someone to bring Granny Hua and Jing Xiuming to the palace together."
Qingyao and Zhuque bowed and accepted the order: "Yes!"
