Shang Xiye understood and silently nodded slightly to Ji Chenhai.
Ji Chenhai smiled again, reluctantly pushing away his youngest daughter from his arms, and earnestly instructed, "While you are in the capital, you must get along well with the Ninth Prince and not quarrel. If he bullies you, tell me when I return, and Father will help you deal with him!"
"And me too, little sister, don't forget to think of your brother." Ji Fengming stepped forward and ruffled Ji Fengyao's hair, turning her soft bangs into a tangled mess.
"I'll miss you, brother," Ji Fengyao suddenly rushed forward and hugged Ji Fengming tightly.
This left Ji Fengming feeling both satisfied and at a loss.
His younger sister seems to have become more clingy and more lovable than before.
Hei Xiao, standing next to Ji Fengming, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Hugs and such are fine with family, but for him...
“Brother Xiao Chen, I will miss you too.” Ji Fengyao let go of Ji Fengming, looked at Hei Xiao, opened her arms and hugged him as well. Her voice was as soft and sweet as when she talked to Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengming: “I’ve wanted to call you that for a long time, but I was afraid you would find it offensive. Today I don’t care. If you dare to find it offensive, I will ask my father and my brother to beat you up in the Northwest. There will be no prince to help you in the Northwest.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengming automatically and unconsciously fixed their eyes on Hei Xiao.
Black Owl's hands flared helplessly: "..."
Brother, brother, brother is also someone very close to her.
Black Owl's gaze fell on Shang Xiye.
Shang Xiye was also looking at him, her eyes clear and gentle.
A gentle smile played on Hei Xiao's lips as he gently patted Ji Fengyao's back with his slightly open hand: "They don't need to beat me up, brother. Come back and bring a gift for little Yao'er."
"It's a deal," Ji Fengyao said, releasing Hei Xiao with a bright smile.
“It’s a deal!” Black Owl flipped himself onto Ghost Mask and smiled.
The bugle sounded, and the army set off.
Bathed in the fresh, bright morning sun, the soldiers, clad in imposing armor, marched in perfect formation, like sharp-clawed dragons, gradually leaving the bustling capital and heading towards the northwestern frontier thousands of miles away.
Many people had seen the scene of Ji Fengyao embracing Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao in public, and people were discussing it privately, believing that her actions were unbecoming of the Ninth Prince's status as the Ninth Prince's consort and had embarrassed the Ninth Prince.
Chen Ziying and Zhang Wanyun, who came to see them off, naturally witnessed this scene and heard the discussions among the crowd.
At this moment, Chen Ziying hated Ji Fengyao to the point of bleeding, and was only worried about not finding an opportunity to humiliate her.
How could she let such a good opportunity slip by?
Chen Ziying leaned down and whispered a few words in Zhang Wanyun's ear, then stuffed a large bag of silver into Zhang Wanyun's hand.
“Ziying, I...I dare not…” Zhang Wanyun’s face turned pale, and she was very timid.
Chen Ziying said with exasperation, "Coward! We don't need you to show up in person. Just find someone else. If something goes wrong, it won't be your fault. What are you afraid of? Go now!"
"Alright, alright," Zhang Wanyun clutched the bag of silver tightly, took her maid, and left, trembling.
Today's occasion is very important, and many distinguished people have come.
A young lady from an official family of Zhang Wanyun's status would seem insignificant and go unnoticed.
After Emperor Shang Xiche returned to the palace.
Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao, and other officials also prepared to leave one after another according to their status and rank.
Ji Fengyao is now a first-level Spirit Gathering cultivator with sharp hearing and keen eyesight. She keenly noticed that someone seemed to be guiding the conversations of the onlookers around her, and gradually everyone was discussing her recent public embrace of a man.
