At that moment, Ji Qilin was having a soft conversation with Feng Xingzhi.
Prince Feng was dressed in a jet - black robe today. His face was pale, and his body was weak. His ten slender and fair fingers held a folding fan and tapped it up and down gently.
He was calm and gentle as jade.
"The eldest young lady is here."
Hearing this, the calm - looking but unwell Feng Xingzhi panicked. His body reacted faster than his mind. He immediately stood up and took a few steps towards the door.
This nervous and flustered look was extremely incredible in Ji Qilin's eyes.
Ji Qilin had been in the court for many years and also had some experience in the Jianghu. He had met all kinds of people and was usually quite accurate in judging others.
When he got along with Prince Feng before, he found that Feng Xingzhi never showed his emotions. No matter what questions Ji Qilin asked, Feng Xingzhi would just nod or say a few words at most.
Ji Qilin was quite sure that Feng Xingzhi was a steady person.
However, the panic on Feng Xingzhi's face when he just heard that Yun Xi was coming didn't seem to be fake.
"Father, I'm late."
Ji Yunxi quickly walked into the main hall and then bowed to Ji Qilin.
Then she turned her head and said, "Prince Feng, I'm really sorry. I was delayed by something."
"It doesn't matter." The soft two words were like a gentle spring breeze.
Ji Yunxi's heart trembled. When she looked up and met Feng Xingzhi's eyes, her heart ached suddenly.
Although Feng Xingzhi was a man, he absolutely deserved the description of "peerless elegance".
"Cough, cough, cough..."
There was joy in his eyes, but his body was not in good condition. After this bout of coughing, his face became even paler.
Ji Yunxi felt a multitude of emotions in her heart. Somehow, seeing him like this, she couldn't help but want to rush up and hug him.
Maybe Ji Yunxi had been staring at Feng Xingzhi for a little too long. Ji Qilin quickly stepped forward to break the awkward silence. He said, "Yunxi, this is the list of betrothal gifts sent by the Prince's Mansion. Take a look."
There was pride in her father's eyes.
Ji Yunxi took the list, but her hand trembled, and the long list slipped to the ground without fully unfurling.
So many things?
She was greatly shocked.
She quickly looked towards the outer courtyard. At this time, people were still continuously carrying the betrothal gifts into the mansion.
How could this be?
Ji Yunxi clearly remembered that in her previous life, when Feng Xingzhi proposed marriage to Ji Yuyan, there were only about thirty betrothal gifts. But now, just the gifts in the inner courtyard exceeded a hundred, not counting those in the outer courtyard...
"Your Highness, isn't this... too much?"
"Not at all." The man smiled modestly and gently. He looked at Ji Yunxi and said softly, "Yunxi is the treasure of this era."
Ji Yunxi was stunned.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Ji Yuchen and Ji Yunyi also rushed in from outside at this time.
When they saw so many betrothal gifts, they were really shocked. After they learned that these were the betrothal gifts from Prince Feng for their sister, the two looked at each other.
Although they didn't say anything.
But after they entered the main hall, Ji Yuchen's hostility towards Feng Xingzhi was significantly reduced.
When Ji Yunyi heard that many more betrothal gifts were still on the way, he also felt much more satisfied, thinking that this future brother - in - law was doing quite well.
There were countless betrothal gifts.
And the prince even sent them here in person.
This was enough to show that his sister held an important place in his heart.
Ji Yuyan also just came in from the outer courtyard. Seeing the endless stream of treasures being carried into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt extremely regretful.
She thought that this bitch Ji Yunxi wouldn't be so kind as to agree to marry in her place for no reason. It turned out that the Prince's Mansion had so many rare treasures.
"Sure enough, it's the Prince's Mansion. Such a grand occasion. I've been in the capital for so long, and this is the first time I've seen it."
"Who says it isn't? This is just the betrothal - gift ceremony, and it's already so grand. What will it be like on the wedding day?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The eldest young lady is really lucky. She has a husband who values her so much. Her life will surely be good after she becomes the princess."
...
The servants in the mansion were whispering to each other.
Ji Yuyan had a poker face, but in her heart, she hated Ji Yunxi even more.
Every time she had something, Ji Yunxi would snatch it away.
Prince Feng came to the mansion in person to propose marriage, allowing the people of Nanyan to witness this magnificent scene. On the other hand, it also greatly satisfied Ji Qilin's vanity.
They chatted happily in the main hall.
Later, Ji Qilin even invited Feng Xingzhi to stay for dinner.
"Yunxi, Daddy will go and tell the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes. You show Prince Feng around the mansion."
Hearing this.
Feng Xingzhi remained calm on the surface, but his hand holding the folding fan in his sleeve tightened unconsciously. He was a little nervous.
After Ji Yunxi agreed, she showed Feng Xingzhi around the mansion.
"That's about it. Your Highness, do you want to go anywhere else?"
Feng Xingzhi smiled slightly.
"Can I go and sit in Miss Ji's courtyard?"
"Ah?"
"I'm a bit thirsty after walking for so long. I'd like to go to your courtyard to ask for a cup of tea."
Ji Yunxi didn't suspect anything and quickly agreed. Then she led Feng Xingzhi to her courtyard.
The two sat and chatted at the stone table in the courtyard.
Most of the time, it was Ji Yunxi who was talking, and Feng Xingzhi sat there with a smiling face, listening indulgently.
After she had been talking for a long time, Feng Xingzhi naturally poured a cup of tea for Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi thanked him and drank it up in one gulp.
"By the way, I've talked so much. Don't you have anything to ask me?" Ji Yunxi put down the teacup and stared at Feng Xingzhi with her bright and lively eyes.
He was distracted by her gaze. He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "Can I call you Xixi?"
When Ji Yunxi first heard this address, she was suddenly in a daze.
In those two extra memories, he also called her Xixi so tenderly.
Seeing Ji Yunxi stunned, Feng Xingzhi thought that his words had offended her. He thought she must dislike him and think that he was a dissolute man who didn't respect her.
He quickly explained.
"Actually, if it's not okay, it doesn't m..."
"Sure."
"What?" Feng Xingzhi was in a daze and looked at Ji Yunxi in confusion.
"I said it's okay. From now on, you can call me Xixi."
Hearing this, there was an uncontrollable smile on Feng Xingzhi's face. When he smiled, nothing in the world could compare to his radiance.
Ji Yunxi was even a little dazed.
"Xixi."
"Hmm?"
"I also want to know why you suddenly changed your mind and agreed to marry me?"
When Feng Xingzhi asked this question, his eyes dodged slightly. He didn't dare to look into Ji Yunxi's eyes, afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.
Was it because she didn't like General Su?
Or was it because of the power of the Prince's Mansion?
No matter which one it was, it wasn't too bad for Feng Xingzhi.
As long as Xixi finally chose him.
Ji Yunxi naturally stretched out her hands and let Feng Xingzhi look at her.
She looked into his eyes, with a very serious expression.
Her tone was also extremely sincere.
"If I say that I missed you, so I want to marry you, will you believe me?"
They basically had no interaction. Ji Yunxi also knew how absurd this sentence sounded, but this was what she was thinking at the moment, and she wanted to tell him.
Ecstasy welled up in Feng Xingzhi's heart.
With a soft smile.
"Yes, I'll believe whatever Xixi says."
The knuckles of Feng Xingzhi's right hand holding the folding fan turned white, which was enough to show that he was extremely excited at the moment.
The atmosphere was extremely charming.
