They saw Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao return.
The eunuch, as if seeing his savior from the end of the world, quickly got up and rushed over, crying out in a voice trembling with great fright, "Ninth Prince, Ninth Princess, you're finally back!"
Perhaps his legs went numb from squatting for so long, he stumbled several times before regaining his balance.
After finally reaching Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, he knelt down with great difficulty.
"Alright, whatever it is, stand up and talk." Shang Xiye had already recognized the man; he was Zhao Yi, the head eunuch serving Consort Yin.
"Thank you, Ninth Prince!" Zhao Yi straightened his knees, which had been bent halfway, and bowed deeply, saying, "Ninth Prince, Ninth Princess, this is a letter that our Ladyship entrusted me to deliver to you. She instructed me to personally deliver it to you before returning to the palace..."
Ji Fengyao glanced at the letter and made sure there was nothing wrong with it; she took the letter and carefully unfolded it, finding nothing amiss inside, before handing it to Shang Xiye.
“You see, it’s the same,” Shang Xiye said, looking down at the little bandit with a gentle smile.
Zhao Yi glanced up and caught Shang Xiye's smile, and was immediately stunned:
Everyone knows that the Ninth Prince is handsome.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's the most handsome man in Kyoto.
But who has ever seen the Ninth Prince smile at someone with such tenderness and sweetness?
It is the radiant sun in the sky, the starry sky, and the most beautiful scenery in the world;
It's not even one ten-thousandth as good as his smile!
Upon hearing the sound, the magpie came out of the room, chirping excitedly like a lively little sparrow: "Miss, Master, you're back!"
Seeing that Ji Fengyao was holding a letter, he turned to Bai Lu behind him and said, "Bai Lu, bring a lamp. Miss must want to see something."
"Okay," Bai Lu replied, and came out holding a candlestick.
Approaching Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao.
Bai Lu, with her sharp eyes, noticed Zhao Yi's dazed expression and burst out laughing, asking mischievously, "Father-in-law, isn't our Prince handsome?"
Zhao Yi: "!" His heart pounded wildly.
Good heavens, he actually dared to stare straight at the Ninth Prince!
I heard that even though Eunuch De was merely delivering an imperial decree that afternoon, he was thrown into the pond and nearly drowned.
Is he going to die?
"This servant deserves to die!" Zhao Yi hurriedly knelt down heavily, and even cried out in fear.
"Puhahaha..."
Zhao Yi's comical appearance caused Xi Que and Bai Lu to burst into laughter again.
The nearby guards stared at Shang Xiye, who remained calm and unperturbed as he was teased: "..."
The prince is really good-tempered these days.
If it were in the past,
If anyone glances at him, he'll glare at them with a chilling look.
Now, even though the princess's maid is teasing him to his face, he's not angry; in fact, he's quite amused!
Shang Xiye: You guys know nothing!
This king captivated his little wife with his stunning good looks;
I'd love for you all to praise me more in front of my little wife!
Ji Fengyao ignored the two maids' laughter and continued reading the letter by the light of the lamp in Bailu's hand:
The letter simply read:
The Crown Prince enjoys exclusive favor; please be aware of this and leave the capital immediately, and do not rush to enter the palace.
"This Consort Yin is quite enthusiastic, and it is indeed bold of her to tip us off at this moment," Ji Fengyao said, handing the letter to Shang Xiye again.
Shang Xiye took it, glanced at it, and said, "Women in the palace have never been easy to deal with. It's just that some people can see the true nature beneath the chaos, while others will follow the turbid current and flatter them, thus becoming arrogant and reckless because of the favor they receive. She is one of the few people in the palace who is both intelligent and knows how to keep a low profile."
"Although Xiao Shisan is not her biological son, he was raised quite well in her palace," Ji Fengyao nodded, thinking of the adorable little guy, and said.
