Xiaoyan didn't want to participate in official banquets. She didn't like to be the center of attention. It wasn't that she liked silence very much, but she had never been used to being respected and fawned over, so she asked that it be kept quiet. She just wanted to express her sincere congratulations. Duke Wei was rewarded, but it was exactly what he wanted. The main reason was that it was not easy to position King Yu's sister. It was definitely inappropriate to treat him as a princess, and it was a bit neglectful to treat him as a princess. Since the nobles did not want to be distinguished, it was easy to handle. Just wait until word spreads after the banquet. When Xiaoyan arrived at Duke Wei's Mansion, she saw that there were so many people. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Miss Fourteen and a beautiful woman welcoming her. When she got closer, Miss Fourteen made an introduction. Xiaoyan respectfully met Shi Zhongfei. Shi Zhongfei's mother also returned the courtesy, and then invited Xiaoyan in. The people who saw it around were surprised and surprised Xiaoyan's Mei Ruotian. Guessing this was the daughter of that family. She could be respected by the Patriotic Mansion. Looking at the skin -like skin color, she came from the south. After Xiaoyan entered the mansion, she was invited to meet Mrs. Wei Guogong, and was then placed in a side hall, which happened to be where Lu Qi was originally seated. In order for the noble lady to be pure, Wei Guogong did not place her in the room where his wife gathered. Otherwise, once Xiaoyan's identity is revealed, she will become the most respected daughter, which would not be beautiful. Although Xiaoyan was placed in the side hall, Mrs. Wei Guogong also arranged for a smart maid to wait on her. Xiaoyan felt relieved and sat in the side hall to wait for the time to pass. After a while of burning incense, a young man in brocade robe suddenly walked in from outside. After the young man came in, he ran to Xiaoyan's table, but when he reached the table, the young man's eyes unexpectedly looked at Xiaoyan. "Can I sit here?" the young man asked quickly and gently. "Sit down." Xiaoyan was just unhappy at being stared at, but the boy's politeness made her dissatisfied immediately, and she responded softly. The young man sat down, and a slave immediately served tea. The young man took a sip from the tea bowl, then looked at Xiaoyan and said gently: "I have sat here before, so I came directly, but I disturbed the young lady. " "This place is empty, anyone can take a seat," Xiaoyan whispered. The young man nodded and glanced melancholy, as if he was reminiscing about something. Xiaoyan felt the young man's loss. The maid behind him hesitated for a moment, wanting to remind Xiaoyan that she didn't do anything in the end. Xiaoyan was a little curious about the young man's lost expression, but she didn't know what happened here before, which made the young man unforgettable. This young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old and had a handsome appearance, but he gave her a feeling of vicissitudes of life. . After a moment of silence, the boy suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Xiaoyan, and said gently: "This sister's accent seems to be Jiangnan Wu dialect, and she is from Jiangnan." Xiaoyan nodded, and there was a slight smile on the boy's face. She asked, "Sister, is that nobleman's daughter, an official from the south of the Yangtze River?" Xiaoyan shook her head lightly and whispered, "I don't want to say it." The young man nodded without any unpleasant reaction, but suddenly someone came over from the table next to him, respectfully. He bowed to the young man and said, "I pay homage to His Royal Highness King Ji." The young man turned around and said with a smile, "It's Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please go back and take your seat." The visitor bowed respectfully and went back. When the young man turned around, Xiaoyan said softly : "You are King Ji Xijin." King Ji looked at Xiaoyan for a moment, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am Xijin, but my sister knows my name." Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, she and she were in Chang'an City The elder brothers had talked about family affairs together several times, but they heard the seventh brother talk about Prince Ji in detail. Xiaoyan smiled, but Prince Ji stared blankly at her. "My sister is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Prince Ji praised sincerely. "Don't talk nonsense." Xiaoyan said softly subconsciously. King Ji said sincerely: "I never praise people randomly, I speak the truth." Xiaoyan's heart was full of love, but she didn't think that King Ji was frivolous and rude, because the seventh brother said that King Ji's age Although he is not big, he is quite magnanimous and heroic, and his temperament is kind. "I was the one who offended my sister, please forgive me." King Ji apologized. "I don't blame you, brother Xijin." Xiaoyan raised her eyes and looked at King Ji softly, and whispered naturally. King Ji stared at Xiaoyan and said in surprise: "My sister calls me brother Xijin. Could it be that she is familiar with my relatives?" Xiaoyan nodded and whispered: "I have two sisters-in-law who are your sisters. My name is Lu Tianyan , is Lu Tianfeng's little sister. " King Ji looked at Xiaoyan with a surprised expression. Xiaoyan looked back at King Ji with a subconscious smile. She had a sister's unexpectedly funny attitude when she saw her brother, but there was no shyness. "My sister is Xiaoyan, the seventh brother's sister." King Ji whispered as if he was dreaming. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Turning his head, he whispered: "When I was in Chang'an City, I heard the seventh brother say a lot of things about brother Xi Jin." "I also heard the seventh brother say a lot of things about sister Xiaoyan." King Ji blurted out. Xiaoyan glanced at him with beautiful eyes and whispered: "I am sister." "Yes, it's sister Xiaoyan." King Ji responded quickly, with a happy smile on his face. Xiaoyan looked at King Ji softly, feeling that King Ji was very magnanimous. King Ji was also looking at Xiaoyan with a smile. Their eyes met, and King Ji felt an inexplicable warmth, as if he was being looked at by the person closest to him. , his heartbeat accelerated and he felt dizzy and drunk. "Um, why is sister here?" Prince Ji blurted out with obvious clumsiness. Xiaoyan was amused and whispered: "Then why are you here?" King Ji suddenly realized and said slightly embarrassed: "By the way, it was Zhongfei who invited me to celebrate his children's birthday." "I am Miss Fourteenth. Please come." Xiaoyan replied. "Miss Fourteenth? Sister and Miss Fourteenth, oh, why did sister come to Kaifeng Mansion?" King Ji said at a loss for words. Xiaoyan told two important things about Donglai. King Ji nodded in understanding and asked Xiaoyan why he didn't have a banquet at his wife's place. Xiaoyan said that he didn't like to socialize with the ladies and asked King Ji why he was nostalgic for this side hall. . While talking, five more guests suddenly came to sit down and respectfully greeted King Ji. King Ji could only turn to socializing. Xiaoyan smiled silently beside her and quickly served the banquet. After eating silently, Xiaoyan asked Ji Wang Bibie left first. After Xiaoyan left, King Ji didn't leave as if he had lost his soul. He sat for a while and asked his maid to invite Shi Zhongfei. Shi Zhongfei came over in a hurry. King Ji asked about Xiaoyan, but Shi Zhongfei heard his wife talk about Xiaoyan's situation in detail. Told King Ji. After hearing Xiaoyan's situation, King Ji said goodbye and left, wandering on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion. The subordinates who accompanied him didn't know what was wrong with His Highness, and they didn't dare to ask more questions and could only follow him. Unknowingly, King Ji came out. After entering the inner city, he finally arrived in front of Prince Yu's Mansion and stood at the doorstep of the mansion to look around. The general guarding the gate knew King Ji and asked him respectfully. King Ji said he wanted to see Xiaoyan, but the general knew who Xiaoyan was, so he hurriedly went inside to inform him, and soon came out to invite King Ji in. In the front hall, Xiaoyan and her three sisters-in-law received King Ji. After seeing the ceremony, King Ji said directly: "Sister Xiaoyan, tomorrow I will escort the sisters-in-law and sister to Shouzhou, okay?" There was blush on her cheeks. Seeing Xiaoyan hesitate to speak, Xiaomeirou smiled and said: "Since His Highness Prince Ji has time to escort, we are naturally willing to escort him." "Okay, sister-in-law, I will come over tomorrow morning." Prince Ji responded happily. , then said goodbye and left. Xiaomei and the others asked Xiaoyan, and Xiaoyan told about the relationship between King Ji and Lu Qi, saying that they met by chance at a banquet. The next day, King Ji led ten squads to escort Xiaoyan and his party. However, the commander of Kaifeng Prefecture was afraid of something happening and used five thousand troops to follow and escort them. They successfully arrived in Shouxian County. Xiaoyan, her sister-in-law and her nephew paid homage to their ancestors. Temple, the next day, Xiaoyan went to Bagong Mountain with King Ji at the invitation on the way. Outside Chang'an City, Lu Qi was surveying the venue for the martial arts competition. After leaving the camp, I went to see King Ji. I was surprised when I saw him. I saw that King Ji was so dusty that he looked like a native. Only one face had been obviously wiped clean. "Xijin, is there something urgent?" Lu Qi asked in surprise before leaving. King Ji looked at Lu Qi, knelt down and said respectfully: "Brother Qi, I'm here to ask for your hand in marriage. Please give me sister Xiaoyan." Lu Qi was surprised and hurriedly bent down to help King Ji. King Ji looked at Lu Qi and said sincerely: "Brother Qi, I like sister Xiaoyan." "Have you met Xiaoyan?" Lu Qi said gently. King Ji nodded hurriedly, and Lu Qi smiled and said: "Xijin, Xiaoyan is two years older than you." "I know, but I like sister Xiaoyan, seventh brother, please give me sister Xiaoyan, I would like to be a man of leisure and not be an official anymore," King Ji said eagerly. Lu Qi looked at King Ji and said gently: "Did Xiaoyan say that she likes you?" King Ji nodded and said, "Sister went too far in Bagong Mountain, but I'm afraid that there will be many taboos about my marriage to my sister." Lu Qi smiled and said gently: "As long as you and Xiaoyan really like each other, there will be no taboos." "Well, thank you Seventh Brother for making it possible." King Ji swallowed his joyful words, but tears welled up in his eyes. . "Silly boy, go take a bath." Lu Qi reached out and patted King Ji's right shoulder and said kindly.
