Chapter 63: The First Crush
The disgraceful thing of sneaking into the study was caught squarely, although Liu Xun didn't care about her, Ji Yao was always embarrassed, and took Chang Xi back to Chang Mansion early the next morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Today's Changfu is so lively, not to mention that the whole courtyard has set up a banquet, and even the corridor is hung with ribbons and red lanterns, which is not too much compared to getting married.
The courtyard was full of laughter, and the uncle and uncle, who had not seen him for many years, also came, Ji Yao stood firmly on the steps, his eyes were about to sweep the crowd, and suddenly a warm hand covered his eyes, and then his ears were full of laughter.
"Guess who I am?"
Ji Yao's body shook suddenly, he suddenly broke his hand, turned around, and a heroic face came into her eyes, although she was more tough and mature than the elegant and clean in her memory, she would never admit her mistake, the person in front of her was Chang Jiyang, the eldest brother who had been away from home for many years and had no news!
"Big brother, you're back!Where have you been all these years?" Ji Yao took his hand, his eyes moistened, but the corners of his mouth had a bright smile.
Chang Jiyang's eyes lit up, and he reached out and rubbed her head like when he was a child, Ji Yao was excited, and the voice of the second uncle came from behind him, "Your eldest brother changed his name and surname to join the army, and he is already a six-rank cavalry general when he comes back this time." ā
Ji Yao glanced sideways at the beaming second uncle, and then raised his eyes to look at Chang Jiyang in surprise, Chang Jiyang bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, what my father said is right, I did join the army in the past few years, and now that I am back, I can be regarded as a glorious ancestor." ā
"Then the eldest brother won't leave when he comes back this time, right?" Ji Yao grabbed his sleeve tightly, and what he got in exchange for anticipation was finally Chang Jiyang's affirmation, "Yes, if you don't leave, the emperor ordered me to manage the defense of the palace together with Captain Zhou of the Yulin Army." Now that the four seas are calm and the people are living in peace, there will be no more wars in the future, and I will always stay in Jinling. ā
"General Chang, talk here. ā
A few adults who had just left the court and had not had time to change their clothes suddenly appeared in front of her, interrupting the conversation between her and Chang Jiyang with a spring breeze on their faces, and she had already noticed that it was not only uncles and uncles who came today, but also many powerful ministers in the court.
She really didn't understand, even if the eldest brother was capable, he was just a six-rank cavalry general, why did so many people come to celebrate?
What shocked her even more was that there was a carriage full of style outside the door, and it was Princess Xie Wei who slowly walked down from the carriage, Ji Yao was very surprised that she also came to join in the fun. Xie Wu was full of energy today, walked slowly in front of her and smiled softly: "Ji Yao, are you standing at the door to wait for me? Let's go in together." ā
Ji Yao's successive overtures really made Ji Yao a little unable to react, she clearly remembered that the previous relief was not so subtle and polite, nor would she be so polite, and she was a little lost in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Xie Wu's beautiful eyes winked at her, and he naturally took her hand and was about to walk into the yard, when he suddenly heard a crisp and loud neighing of horses behind him, Xie Wu and Ji Yao both turned around to look.
Seeing King Dingli turn over and dismount, and walk towards the two of them with a smile on his face, Ji Yao was even more surprised, King Ding, who had never had anything to do with Changfu, actually came.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ding. Ji Yao hurriedly saluted, but he had to help him and said earnestly, "Don't be polite, let's go, take me to meet your brother." ā
At this point, Ji Yao understood that they were all big brothers today, and they had only taken two steps along the way, and King Ding suddenly paused and asked, "Has the prince arrived?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also coming?" Ji Yao looked at him in shock, then saw him laugh, waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking casually, the prince is a person who likes to join in the fun, why can't he come if the Changfu is so lively today?"
Before the words fell, he had already quickened his pace and walked towards the inner courtyard, without the slightest intention of waiting for the two girls behind him, Ji Yao thought curiously for a while, but he didn't think of why.
When she walked into the inner courtyard with her worries, she saw the figures of King Ding and Chang Jiyang passing by from a distance, as if they had gone to the direction of the study.
This Dingwang is really interesting, he said that he was here to congratulate, but he bluffed the eldest brother into the study, except for wooing Ji Yao, he couldn't think of a second possibility.
But is a six-rank cavalry general really worthy of such a fight?
"The princess is also here to congratulate my eldest brother on coming home today?" Ji Yao couldn't help but wonder when she saw that her gaze always fell on the corner where Chang Jiyang's figure dissipated.
Xie Wei chuckled, retracted his gaze and said: "I have known him for a while, and now that he has this achievement, he should come to the door to celebrate." ā
As she spoke, she walked to the side hall where there were few people, and Ji Yao saw her with a determined look, so she followed and asked, "What has my eldest brother achieved?"
"Don't you know, the DPRK and China have gone crazy in the past few days, Ji Yang met the great Sima General Wei Shengyun in the years when he joined the army, and he was able to make meritorious contributions thanks to the help of General Shengyun. Xie Wu's eyes suddenly lit up when he said this, and he said with a smile, "General Shengyun was quite favored by his father before returning to his hometown, and this time he greatly recommended Ji Yang in the letter, saying that the great Sima has a successor, and his father attaches great importance to it, and immediately handed over 30,000 Praetorian Guard soldiers to Ji Yang. ā
Ji Yao blinked her eyes a little inaccurately when she saw her talking about her eldest brother, she only knew that in the past, when she came to the house to find herself, she would pester her eldest brother to play together, but in addition, she had not seen how she attached importance to her eldest brother, and why did she have this face now......
"Ji Yao, what are you hiding here, have you said hello to your uncles?" Chang Ji Yang appeared coldly outside the side hall, and took two steps forward before he noticed a hibiscus flower standing in front of Ji Yao, and asked with a smile, "This is ......?"
When Princess Xie Wu heard this, her face changed, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked and she did not respond, Ji Yao saw this and hurriedly introduced: "Big brother, this is Princess Xie Wu." ā
"Oh! I remember!"
Xie Wu's eyes lit up, and he only heard the person in front of him say in surprise: "It's the princess Xie Wu who is both talented and beautiful, and is famous in the Chu State, I often hear people mention it in the military camp, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today!"
The scene suddenly cooled down, Ji Yao obviously noticed the faint anger emanating from Xie Wei's body, although she didn't know where her anger came from, but she still pulled Chang Jiyang's sleeve and said, "Big brother, you and the princess have seen each other before, have you forgotten?"
"I haven't seen it!"
Xie Wei's voice was like thunder in her ears, this time even Chang Jiyang was stunned, and without waiting for him to ask anything, Xie Wei glanced at him fiercely, shook his sleeves and left.
Yes, Chang Jiyang is the first man she has a crush on to solve her worries, at that time, she ran to Changfu every day, just to take a look at him, and made a lot of jokes with him, why in the future I will ask my father to take you as a concubine, why will I go with him to raise monkeys on the mountains where no one is in the future......
Such words, Chang Jiyang only regarded it as a joke, but she was serious, until one day Chang Jiyang agreed unprecedentedly, saying that he would marry her in the future and take care of her for the rest of his life!
Now that he sees Chang Jiyang again, he doesn't remember the past at all, and his worries are almost so angry that his lungs are about to explode, if he hadn't been hiding in the palace and pulling his second brother to cry every day, how could she empathize with her second half-brother and not fall in love?
How could he suppress all the pain in his heart, even if he was nobody, he didn't dare to confide it, for fear that those secrets would be blown by the wind and the whole city would know.
