Your Highness, you and Crown Prince Anpyeong have reached a new level of shamelessness, haven't you?
However, the soldiers may have their complaints in their hearts;
After their trip to the Northwest, they, like their master, the prince, also fell in love with their quirky and clever princess.
Their princess is clever and eccentric, with unparalleled skills, and she is extremely protective of her own people.
With such a mistress in the royal household, the princes felt warm and secure.
The procession stopped in front of the city gate.
At this moment, Shang Xiche had already led the Empress, Eunuch De, and others down from the city wall and stood in front of the civil and military officials, his smile was so sincere and friendly.
Although they already knew that Shang Xiye had recovered from his injuries, they were still awestruck when they saw him step out of the carriage on his own and help Ji Fengyao down. They were impressed by Shang Xiye's upright posture and steady, agile steps.
If the Ninth Prince, severely injured and confined to a wheelchair, is a fierce tiger;
Now that the Ninth Prince has fully recovered from his injuries, he is an unstoppable dragon!
The smiles on Shang Xiche's and the Empress's faces stiffened, and their eyes were filled with apprehension.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects," Shang Xiye said, stepping forward with Ji Fengyao and formally greeting Shang Xiche.
Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengming, standing to the side, also gave a perfunctory clasped-fist salute, looking like they were too big for their britches.
Ji Fengyao simply curtsied and said with a cheerful, innocent smile, "Your Majesty, you are so kind to bring so many people to welcome the Prince. I thought you didn't like crowds, which is why no one saw the Prince off when he left."
Shang Xiche: "..."
Civil and military officials: "..."
This bandit, does he even know how to talk? Aren't you openly slapping the Emperor in the face?
"Shouldn't the Ninth Prince's Consort have stayed in the capital? Why did she return from 'going on an expedition' with the Ninth Prince?" The Empress smiled and emphasized the word "expedition".
The implication is that women should stay home to support their husbands and raise their children; moreover, the Ninth Prince is going to war, and for a woman to go with him would be not only unfaithful but also disrupt the war. If the war is lost, and things get serious, it would be a crime that brings disaster to the country and the people, punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan.
Seeing the Empress's expression, as if she wanted to rush up and bite her to death, Ji Fengyao smiled brightly and said, "Alas, as the saying goes, a hero needs three helpers. Our Prince is not like the Emperor and the old Duke Chen, who have so many sons and daughters to help him. Look at me, I can't even give birth right now, so I have to drag my father, my brother, and me into this personally."
As if she had gotten quite excited, the little bandit girl gestured animatedly, her eyebrows dancing with excitement: "You know what, it's true that fathers and sons fight side by side. Look at this battle we fought—it was earth-shattering, awe-inspiring, earth-shattering, and filled with the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves..."
Shang Xiche and all the civil and military officials: "..."
Empress: "..."
Damn it, this damned bandit is definitely trying to hurt her feelings on purpose!
She refused to believe that the deaths of Chen Shiyu and Chen Xiaoyi had nothing to do with the bandits or the Ninth Prince!
"Sister, are you sure these idioms are used like this?" Ji Fengming played along, pretending not to see the Empress who was about to explode on the spot.
Ji Fengyao scratched her head blankly, her phoenix eyes sparkling as she turned to look at Shang Xiye: "It seems... right? I don't know, I just blurted it out because I thought it sounded very impressive. Your Highness, am I right?"
"Yes, whatever the Princess says is right," Shang Xiye replied in a serious but shameless manner.
The civil officials: "!!!"
The Ninth Prince's sloppy approach to scholarship is truly a disgrace to literature!
