Outside the huge Ji Mansion, Jiang's mother, Ji Mengshu, the second lady and the second young lady Ji Ningqiu, the third lady and the third young master Ji Xiuwen, and the fourth young lady Ji Ranran and her maids were all standing outside the Ji Mansion.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard not far away, and passers-by made way for the horse. The man rode his horse forward, holding the reins and letting the horse go forward with a "clack".

"My son, you are finally back."

Mother Jiang held Ji Mengshu's hand and looked at the man approaching from afar, feeling relieved.

"Brother!" Ji Mengshu walked a few steps to the horse. Ji Yuanzheng quickly turned over and dismounted. He smiled at her and saw Jiang's mother in the crowd. He knelt down and said, "Yuanzheng greets mother."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Jiang's mother was excited, but she didn't show much on her face. "You've been traveling all the way, you must have had a hard time. Come in quickly."

"Greetings to my second aunt, sister Ningqiu, third aunt, brother Wen, and sister Ran." Ji Yuanzheng greeted them one by one and followed everyone into the Ji Mansion.

Ji Mengshu put her hands on the back of his waist and twisted it hard, but the man's waist was too strong and it took quite a bit of effort to twist it.

Ji Yuanzheng took a deep breath, turned his head and pinched her face, "My dear sister, your hand strength has improved?"

"Who told you not to talk to me?" Ji Mengshu followed him, talking as she walked. When the elders in the family turned around to look at her, she resumed her dignified appearance.

"There are a lot of people here. Brother has brought you some delicious and fun things. I'll send them to your room later, okay?" Ji Yuanzheng smiled and coaxed her patiently.

"That's pretty much it."

The Ji family had few descendants, only two males, so Ji Yuanzheng was held by the elders for a while before being released by Jiang's mother. He had been traveling a long way, so he should take a bath and have a good rest.

After Ji Mengshu returned to Fulanxuan, Qingzhu pointed at the boxes of various sizes in the outer hall and came forward, "Miss, these were all sent by the young master's servant just now. They are all for you. Although the young master is in the border county and doesn't come home often, he still has you in his heart."

"Of course, I'm his only sister." Ji Mengshu lifted the hem of her skirt and fiddled with the piles of gadgets in a good mood, most of which she had never seen before.

I don't know how much time had passed, Ji Mengshu was sitting on a bamboo chair, playing with something clever, and he made a noiseless move by lifting the window. Ji Yuan had just changed his clothes, holding an orange in his hand, and peeling it against the window.

"Shu'er, do you like these little gadgets?"

The scent of orange filled her nose. Ji Mengshu reached out to take the peeled orange and ate it with peace of mind. She nodded and smiled sweetly, "My brother gave it to me, so of course I like it."

"I returned home today and found that there have been a lot of changes at home. I heard that the Queen Mother forced you to stay in the palace some time ago. They didn't do anything to you, right?" How could his sister, such a simple girl, cope with such a den of wolves and tigers?

Ji Mengshu shook her head. The half-eaten orange suddenly didn’t taste sweet anymore. “They want to win over the Ji family, so how could they treat me badly?”

"Forget it. Don't think about these unhappy things. Now that I'm back, if anyone dares to bully you, I will not let him off easily." Ji Yuanzheng had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his face was quite upright. It was really convincing to say this. "Tonight, Shu'er, why don't you accompany me for a good walk?"

"Of course."

In the evening, after the family had dinner, Ji Kang went straight into the study, while Ji Yuanzheng walked out of the house through the side door with Ji Mengshu.

"Look at the lanterns on the road, the capital is really bustling." Ji Yuanzheng followed Ji Mengshu closely, walking past the small houses that were being decorated.

I was somewhat curious about the southwest border counties, so I asked, "Brother, what is it like in the southwest?"

The handsome man, who had served in the army for many years, had a heroic spirit. Ji Yuanzheng walked over with his hands behind his back, his eyes following the bright moon, as if recalling, "The southwest is located on the border of the Dali Dynasty. Exotic customs prevail, fine wines are brewed, and there are endless merchants coming and going... It's very beautiful."

"Hearing what my brother said, I can imagine a little." It's a pity that she has never seen it.

High up in the sky-high building of the restaurant behind him, Ning Rongzhang stood in disbelief, with the bright moon hanging behind him, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. However, Ning San, who was very close to Ning Rongzhang, could feel the surging atmosphere around him.

Following the person's gaze, I found that the woman on the street looked very familiar. "Your Highness... could that person be the fifth daughter of the Ji family..."

"Humph," Ning Rongzhang clenched his fists, "If you have such a sharp eye, then go and patrol the border in Western Xinjiang!"

Ning San didn't dare to say anything. His prince's temper had been getting worse and worse recently.

Ji Yuanzheng's eyes froze, and he turned his head unexpectedly, looking at the aisle in the middle of the street. It was empty, with no one there. Ji Yuanzheng touched the back of his neck, it was really strange, he had just realized that someone seemed to be staring at him.

"What's wrong?" Ji Mengshu also followed the gaze and looked over there, but couldn't make out anything.

"It's okay, I'm just too sensitive." Ji Yuan was pulling people forward, "Let's go, there are still many places to visit."

In the shadow of the corner, Ning San slowly poked his head out and said, "Your Highness, the person next to Miss Ji is quite perceptive." The person who could sense their presence was not an ordinary person in the city.

Ning Rongzhang's hawk-like eyes were fixed on the place where the man was holding the woman's wrist, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it. It was unknown whether he heard what Ning San said. After a moment, Ning Rongzhang turned his eyes away and said, "Let's go, business is more important."

As the festival approached, the streets gradually became lively. Ji Mengshu pulled his sleeve and looked around. There was a crowd of people. Many people were watching the fire-breathing show. It was very lively.

There were cheers from the crowd. Li Huaixiang in red stood out particularly. Before Ji Mengshu came up to her, he could see Li Huaixiang through many people.

"Huai Xiang! Huai Xiang!"

?

Li Huaixiang turned her head and saw Ji Mengshu following the source of the voice. She pushed through the crowd and ran over. "It's really you. Why do I hear someone calling my name? Who is this?" The man was handsome and upright, which made Li Huaixiang feel good about him. But since he was brought here by her good sister, she asked politely.

"This is my brother Ji Yuanzheng, the one you met when you were little."

Have you seen him? Li Huaixiang didn't have much impression, but she heard that the eldest son of the Ji family was a major general. Li Huaixiang, who came from a family of military generals, couldn't help but admire him.

"I am Li Huaixiang from the General's Mansion, nice to meet Brother Ji."

Ji Yuan, who had a proud look on his face just now, opened his eyes slightly and said, "So you are the daughter of the general's family. I am so sorry. I am the general of Longyou and Shu'er's brother."

When the good sisters met on the street, Ji Mengshu changed from accompanying Ji Yuanzheng to accompanying Li Huaixiang.
