Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 248 This person is one-third as beautiful as my sister

Although they were in the same capital city of Kyoto and lived together in the Imperial Palace.

But the second prince and the third prince only saw each other a few times throughout the year.

Now, as soon as they met, the two of them immediately started to confront each other, and even though it was a verbal dispute, neither of them gave in.

Ji Haoyu snorted heavily and ignored Ji Yunrui.

The sun was scorching today, and he was wearing the most formal dragon robe. He was sweating profusely, and looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

It was just as the third brother said. If the eldest brother had come later, I would probably have gotten heatstroke first.

Ji Haoyu raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, and asked the people around him: "When will big brother come?"

Eunuch Fu could only comfort him, "Your Highness, it will be soon."

But in fact, how could he know when the eldest prince would come? He didn't know more than his own prince.

Ji Qingkong followed behind him with a dull look on his face, without any reaction.

If it were usual, he would have diligently held an umbrella and fanned Ji Haoyu, but now he seemed to have lost this kind of vision, and looked gloomy.

Ji Haoyu's gaze lingered on the folding fan on Ji Qingkong's waist for a moment, but in the end he said nothing and looked away.

At this moment, Eunuch Fu suddenly pointed to the official road in the north and said excitedly: "Your Highness, here we come, here we come!"

Ji Haoyu quickly turned his head to look.

All I could see was smoke and yellow sand billowing above the official road to the north.

A moment later, the ground at the city gate began to tremble, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer as they got closer and closer.

On the north side of the official road, the team that was originally unclear became visible gradually.

Leading the way was a fine horse wearing black armor, with a general in golden armor sitting on it, looking very majestic.

Ji Haoyu winked at Wei Fu, who immediately understood and shouted behind him, "Play music, play music!"

The musicians immediately started playing music, with gongs, drums and suonas all playing together, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Just as Ji Haoyu was preparing to arrange for civilians to provide food and drink for the triumphant army returning from the expedition, suddenly a group of armored cavalry rushed out of the city gate, occupied the official road, and headed towards the troops in the north.

Among the armored guards, someone holding a token shouted at the civilians on both sides of the road to retreat: "The brave guards have been ordered to welcome the king's division, all outsiders, please leave!"

Seeing this scene, Ji Haoyu was stunned, and then he looked at the carriage where the third prince was in anger.

This third brother...has no moral principles!
But he also made a prompt decision and shouted to the officials behind him: "What are you standing there for? Follow me to welcome my brother!"

After saying this, he strode with his head held high and headed north towards the official road.

The leader of the Xiaowu Guard was about to step forward to stop him, but Ji Haoyu glared at him and shouted, "I want to welcome my brother to the capital, how dare you stop me?"

"This...I dare not."

"go away!"

Ji Haoyu led his men onto the official road and went half a mile outside the city to meet them.

A moment later, the team coming from the north arrived in front of them. The golden-armored general who was leading them slowed down his horse and rode forward at a leisurely pace.

Ji Haoyu led his team to rush over and said excitedly: "Congratulations, brother, on your triumphant return!"

All the officials behind him bowed down in unison: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince on his triumphant return!"

It was not until then that the general in golden armor took off his mask and revealed his true face.

But at this moment, there was some commotion in the team, and many people were whispering.

Because they found that this time, apart from the eldest prince Ji Wuchang, there were only a few trusted followers. This was obviously not the entire expeditionary force entering Beijing.

The most important thing is... I didn't see the birthday gift that the eldest prince was escorting. Ji Haoyu looked behind Ji Wuchang and the others and asked, "Brother Emperor, why did you only bring these people into the capital?"

Ji Wuchang was riding on the horse, holding the reins, looking down at him: "There are too many baggage, so I will go to the capital first, and the follow-up team will arrive tomorrow. I am curious, I didn't tell anyone that I went to the capital today, how did you know?"

"This……"

Ji Haoyu was immediately embarrassed. He looked at the person behind him and said vaguely, "Brother Emperor, let's go to the capital first."

While no one was paying attention, he raised his finger and pointed upwards towards Ji Wuchang.

Ji Wuchang snorted softly, most likely someone in his team had informed Kyoto City.

My father, the emperor, cannot trust me.

In the end, he said nothing. He squeezed his legs together, and drove his horse slowly towards the direction of Kyoto City.

The horse moved very slowly and leisurely forward, so even if Ji Haoyu and his group just walked, they would be able to keep up.

Going further ahead, you will see the line of cavalrymen of the Xiaowu Guard.

"I am here on the orders of His Majesty the Third Prince to welcome the Royal Division back to the capital in triumph!"

As the leading general shouted loudly, all the members of the Xiaowu Guard shouted in unison: "Welcome the king's army back to the capital in triumph!"

For a time, it was quite a sensation.

Then the guards made way and moved to the sides, clearing a path.

Ji Wuchang rode forward. The foreign woman with a veil covering her face poked her head out from behind him and looked at the scene at the city gate. She said, "It's really lively."

Ji Wuchang said calmly: "In a few days, it will be my father's birthday. Then I will show you something more exciting!"

Chi Zhai Luo looked back and asked, "Who was that fat guy who just talked to you?"

"My second brother, Ji Haoyu."

"What about... that sickly guy sitting in the car?"

"Third brother, Ji Yunrui."

Chi Zhai Luo stuck out his tongue and whispered, "You brothers don't look alike at all."

Ji Wuchang chuckled: "They are not from the same mother, it's strange that they look alike."

"So what does your father look like?"

“…It’s hard to describe.”

"That's definitely not a good look."

Chi Zhailuo spoke without restraint, but Ji Wuchang did not blame him. Instead, he responded patiently.

Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something new and pulled Ji Wuchang's collar. "That handsome man following behind that fat guy... Oh, I know. He's what you Central Plains people call a mistress, right? I heard that you Central Plains nobles like this."

Ji Wuchang frowned immediately.

He is returning to the capital today. Who dares to bring his concubine to greet him?
He frowned and looked behind him, glancing in the direction Chi Zhailuo pointed, then turned his gaze away with a dark face: "That's my fourth brother, Ji Qingkong."

"That one is also a prince?" Chi Zhai Luo was surprised. "He is much more handsome than you. He is almost one-third as beautiful as... my elder sister."

In this little girl's eyes, the fourth child is only one-third as beautiful as her elder sister?
Ji Wuchang was a little surprised, and became even more curious about the foreign woman named "Holojiao".

What puzzled him most was that if she was really such a beauty, how could she not have been noticed when he presented her to Kyoto?

This Holo Jiao...I don't know where she is now.
