Ji Fengyao said sleepily, her voice soft and sweet with a slight nasal tone, making her sound very charming and cute.
Black Owl's eyes lingered for a moment on her delicate, round face, so close to his own, as he felt the real softness and warmth emanating from his back. A very faint smile appeared on his lips.
The next day, Ji Fengming personally came to pick up Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye to go to the Marquis of Anping's residence.
Ji Fengming was incredibly high-profile, mobilizing almost all the Vulture Village brothers who were going to the capital to protect him. He practically announced to the entire capital that his sister and brother-in-law were going to the Marquis of Anping's residence for a homecoming visit.
“Look at the behavior of these bandits. Oh dear, with them around, the good reputation that Ninth Prince has built up is ruined.”
"That's right. If it weren't for the Ninth Prince, no one else could withstand the rampage of these bandits."
"The remaining eligible men in the royal family are all princes. How could the emperor bear to let his son suffer like this?"
"Stop talking, be careful what you say. It's such a pity about the Ninth Prince."
Listening to the discussions along the way, Ji Fengyao puffed out her cheeks and looked at Shang Xiye with an innocent yet helpless and resentful look: "I told you not to come, but you insisted that you couldn't not come since it was your first time returning home. Look at what happens when you and I appear together. We are slandered and cursed by thousands of people, and the target of their slander and curses is only me."
"Does Your Highness mean that I resent you for not sharing the blame with you, for not fulfilling my duty as a husband, and for leaving you to suffer alone?" Shang Xiye's eyes were smiling, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
"Well, if you insist on saying it that way, then the meaning is pretty much the same..." Ji Fengyao pouted.
It all boils down to disregarding the feelings of one's partners and lacking loyalty.
"It seems that I should do something that makes me lose my mind because of lust, to share some of the burden with the Princess," Shang Xiye said, moving closer to Ji Fengyao, his smile deepening.
"What do you mean by being blinded by lust..."
"Happy bird!"
Ji Fengyao hadn't yet understood what he meant when she suddenly heard him call out to the magpie outside.
Both Xique and Wuying, who were following outside the carriage, were a little confused.
Magpie: The son-in-law called me? Why wasn't it the young lady who called me, but the son-in-law?
Wuying: Your Highness, why did you call the Princess's maid instead of me when you needed to speak?
But Xique quickly reacted, loudly responding, "Hey, son-in-law," and then casually lifted the carriage curtain.
Just then, Shang Xiye suddenly grabbed Ji Fengyao's hand, forcefully pushed her down onto the couch, gently pecked her lips, and then pressed her tightly against him. He turned to Xique and said naturally, "We're almost past Binxiang Tower. The Princess loves their pastries the most. Have your young master stop there for a moment. I'll go and buy some for the Princess myself."
The magpie was startled for a moment, but calmly replied, "Oh, okay, son-in-law!"
She had already witnessed them having sex during the day, so being intimate in a carriage probably wasn't anything special.
With great nonchalance, Xi Que lowered the carriage curtain and quickened his pace to inform Ji Fengming.
Those who witnessed this dramatic scene on the street were not calm:
"My God, what am I seeing?!"
"I must be blind!"
"You're not blind, it was indeed the Ninth Prince who took the initiative to pounce on that female bandit, and he even wanted to personally buy her pastries!"
"Wasn't it said that the Ninth Prince was celibate? Can anyone tell me that he's been so blinded by lust that he actually flirted with that bandit in the street... in the street! He... he..."
"Oh no! Young lady! Young lady! Someone come quick! This young lady has fainted!"
Inside the carriage, Ji Fengyao clutched at Shang Xiye's clothes.
