"They are all very easy to get along with, so I usually spend more time with them."

"My mother passed away early, and I will handle things with my father. You don't need to worry about it too much. As for the banquet for your entry into the manor, I will hold a make-up banquet for you later."

Jiang Yuyan was stunned by what he said, but then she was overjoyed.

Your Highness, does this mean you acknowledge my identity?

He said he would hold a banquet later, is that what I meant?

Seeing that she was lost in thought and didn't respond, Xiao Jingyi gently leaned down, looked at her face to face, and pinched her chin: "What...are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Yuyan immediately snapped out of her surprise and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She bowed deeply and said, "Yu Yan, thank you for your favor, Your Highness."

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi pulled her into his arms, gently stroked her face, and wiped away her still-damp tears.

"What should I call you?"

Meeting his burning gaze, Jiang Yuyan blushed with shyness, but still whispered, "Husband."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi pinched her cheek: "Good girl, I will reward you when I return. From now on, you will be the thirteenth wife of the Prince's Mansion, Lady Yuyan."

Jiang Yuyan had no objection to this. Leaning against Xiao Jingyi's chest, she felt like the happiest woman in the world at that moment.

She had thought that being sold to Daliang would mean a bleak future for her.

But who could have imagined that fate would play such a cruel trick?

She met the person she could rely on for the rest of her life.

She looked at Xiao Jingyi with deep affection, her expectant gaze almost tearful.

"Your Highness, we've arrived at the residence."

Just then, Ji's voice rang out.

Xiao Jingyi picked Jiang Yuyan up by the waist and carried her out of the carriage.

They carried him directly into the bedroom.

Hou Ji understood the situation and immediately said to the people waiting beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tidy up the Thirteenth Madam's room. If the Prince blames you, you will all suffer!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed and then hurriedly began tidying up Jiang Yuyan's room.

The thirteenth wife of the Prince's mansion should be treated like a thirteenth wife.

Today, the swamp irises are in bloom.

Her delicate hands gripped the bed sheet tightly.

She felt like a small boat in a storm, tossed and turned.

Little did they know that after Xiao Jingyi and Jiang Yuyan left, all the civil and military officials were shocked.

They had initially thought that Xiao Jingyi had only brought back an ordinary woman.

But seeing it today, it seems ordinary?

She was absolutely stunning!

In no time, rumors of a lost gem spread throughout the upper echelons of Kyoto.

Some people even followed Xiao Jingyi's example and sent people to search the entire capital, hoping to find any lost gems.

The Eastern Palace and the Prince Yu's Residence.

Even the imperial palace...

Some people are also taking action.

It could be said that Xiao Jingyi's unintentional mistake this time spurred all the men in Kyoto who love beauty to take action.

Everyone loves beauty, but they are destined not to be like Xiao Jingyi, nor will they be able to meet a second Jiang Yuyan.

.....

Meanwhile, Mei Changsu, back in his courtyard, dismissed everyone else.

After everyone had left, he could no longer contain his excitement and smile.

"As expected, Prince Yi is still the same as before, still as brilliant as ever."

"In this way, if we join forces with him, no one in the entire capital will be able to stop us!"

The more he thought about Mei Changsu, the more excited he became.

Before coming to Beijing, he had actually made the worst-case scenario plan: if Xiao Jingyi's edges were smoothed out, then he would choose Xiao Jingyan.

But now it seems there's no need to choose at all.

"Li Gang!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Upon hearing his words, Li Gang immediately walked in from outside.

The message has been sent out: Prince Yi will henceforth be the most loyal ally of the Jiangzuo Alliance, and our actions should begin.

"Sect Master, do you mean, find a house?"

"Yes, looking for a place to live."

Thinking of his plan, Mei Changsu smiled mysteriously, then walked to his desk, wrote a letter, put it away, and handed it to Li Gang.

"Send it to Prince Yi's residence. Remember, it must be delivered secretly. No one else can know about it."

Mei Changsu didn't want to expose his relationship with Prince Yi, as they had only recently joined forces.

We should wait until the two of them have completely established themselves.

"Yes!"

Li Gang accepted it with both hands and then stepped back.

After he left, Mei Changsu walked happily to the window and looked at the scene outside: "I didn't expect you to even know my identity, Jing Yi..."

"The whole world underestimates you."

.....

Meanwhile, a group of more than a dozen people arrived on horseback outside Kyoto.

"Finally back in Beijing."

A man clad in armor stood before them, his gaze sharp and indifferent as he looked at the magnificent capital city.

And he was Prince Jing.

The group of people behind him were his trusted subordinates.

Lie Zhanying, Qi Meng, and others.

"Your Highness, should we return to our residence to remove our armor before paying our respects to His Majesty?"

Beside the man, Lie Zhanying asked.

Upon hearing this, Prince Jing shook his head: "No, last time I came back I went back to my residence first, and His Majesty said I was very disrespectful. If I go back to my residence first again today, I will definitely be scolded again."

At this moment, Qi Meng complained, "His Majesty is really biased. The Prince has been traveling for so long, and he still gets criticized."

"Qi Meng!"

Prince Jing said in a deep voice, glancing at Qi Meng: "Let's not mention this matter again. This is the capital now!"

"Yes!" Qi Meng finally shut up.

Seeing this, Prince Jing turned to the others and said, "Zhan Ying, you should all go back and rest. Prepare generous gifts. My eighth brother has taken a new wife, so it's time to send a gift."

When Xiao Jingyi was mentioned, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Jingyan's face.

031 Prince Jing: I'm finally not the last one to join the group chat (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)

As the only old acquaintance he still got along with after the Chiyan case, Prince Jing always cared about his younger brother Xiao Jingyi and hoped that he would come out of seclusion.

He hoped that Xiao Jingyi could become the original Xiao Jingyi, the next Prince Qi, or even the next Emperor Liang.

He was only convinced because the Great Liang was in Xiao Jingyi's hands.

Sure enough, after leaving the palace, he quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and came to the front of Prince Yi's residence.

"Your Highness Prince Jing!"

"My lord heard that you had returned, so he sent me here to wait for you."

"please!"

Hou Ji, who was guarding the door, rushed forward to greet Xiao Jingyan when he arrived.

"Hmm, this is troublesome. These things are gifts I gave to my eighth brother after hearing that he had taken a new concubine."

“Oh my, Your Highness Prince Jing, every time the Prince takes on a new wife, you send such a generous gift.”

Upon seeing the group of people standing behind Xiao Jingyan, Hou Ji immediately ordered his men to accept the gifts and treat them to good food and drink.

"Gao Shun, you shall come with me."

Thinking of Gao Shun, Xiao Jingyan immediately called him over.

"Yes!" Gao Shun replied immediately, his expression unchanged, after hearing his words.

Led by Hou Ji, Prince Jing and Gao Shun soon arrived at Xiao Jingyi's place.

"Sixth Brother, you've finally arrived."

"Eighth brother, you are really good. The six-month period was exactly six months, not a day more or less."

Xiao Jingyan was referring to Xiao Jingyi's taking a concubine six months later.

Xiao Jingyi smiled helplessly after hearing this.

In all honesty, he really didn't care about any of that; it was all just a coincidence!

What a coincidence!

"Sixth Brother, please stop teasing me. Come, let's sit down and talk."

"Perfect timing, I also have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyan nodded and then sat down at the table with Xiao Jingyi.

Gao Shun didn't say anything during this time, just stood there quietly. However, he was very perceptive. When he saw that Xiao Jingyi wanted to drink, he immediately filled both of their glasses.

Picking up his wine glass, Xiao Jingyi looked it over and said, "Sixth Brother, I'm curious. In the past, whenever you came to my place, you would either chat with me or take me hunting."

"Why is something happening today?"

He knew what it was without being told; it was something that happened a few days ago after he met with Mei Changsu.

The two had been exchanging letters for the past few days. During this time, Xiao Jingyi suggested that Mei Changsu write a letter to Xiao Jingyan, claiming that he was not dead and asking Xiao Jingyan to help clear the Lin family's name.

Originally, in the story, Mei Changsu never revealed his true identity because he was worried that if something happened, Xiao Jingyan would act impulsively for his sake.

But the situation is different now. Mei Changsu wants to help Xiao Jingyi succeed. Based on his understanding of Xiao Jingyi, he knows that Xiao Jingyi will not be as reckless as Prince Jing.

This way, there was no need to hide it from Xiao Jingyan.

So after a moment's thought, he did as Xiao Jingyi had said and told Xiao Jingyan that he was still alive, but he didn't mention that he had now transformed into Mei Changsu.

"Xiao Shu is not dead!"

Since there was no one else in the room, and Gao Shun was someone Xiao Jingyi trusted implicitly, Xiao Jingyan spoke directly.

His tone was very excited.

You know, when he found out, he was so happy that he didn't sleep for a whole day and night.

At the same time, he stared intently at Xiao Jingyi, wanting to see how he would react.

But Xiao Jingyi's expression was surprisingly calm. He swirled his wine glass and looked at Xiao Jingyan with a puzzled expression: "That's all?"

"It's gone."

"No, no, Jingyi, Xiao Shu isn't dead! Xiao Shu isn't dead!"
