This was also the first time in four years that the Ji family celebrated Ji Xubai's birthday in a grand way, and it was Ji Xubai's suggestion to do it. The reason was very simple. Ji Xubai wanted to propose marriage at the birthday party.
And this matter is not mysterious at all. It can be said that it spread in the mansion with great fanfare from the beginning, so that some young ladies who did not dare to call Wen Zhigu before became very enthusiastic when seeing Wen Zhigu in the past two days. He called her Second Young Madam.
On the day of Ji Xubai's birthday, Wen Zhigu specially asked for leave from the military camp. He originally wanted to go directly to Ji's Mansion, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went back to his residence first, specially wearing a new suit. He put on his clothes, tidied himself up a little, and then looked at himself in the mirror, his face felt inexplicably hot.
Because this was the first time that she had specially dressed up for Ji Xubai. She was not the kind of person with a petty temperament, but now she was thinking about the sentence "women should look good to please themselves", and she still blushed a little.
After arriving at Ji's Mansion, I heard from the servants that the emperor and the queen had also come. Wen Zhigu thought she was the last one to arrive, but he heard from the servants that Ji Xubai was still waiting for her to come back in the Jade Courtyard. He said he would go to the main hall with her.
After hearing this, Wen Zhigu suddenly felt that Ji Xubai was extremely childish, but when he thought that he was trying to protect himself, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
She returned to the Jade Courtyard. Ji Xubai had already taken the initiative to open her gifts and sat in a wheelchair wearing the light blue clothes she made for him. He also fiddled with his cuffs from time to time to show off something.
Wen Zhigu: "...I haven't taken it out to give it to you yet..."
"I saw you put it in the cabinet last night." Ji Xubai had no intention of being reserved at all.
Wen Zhigu was speechless and had no choice but to walk over and push him out.
Ji Xubai wanted to reach out to grab her hand on the armrest, "I know the old story, does it look good?"
"Of course the clothes I make look good."
"I am asking if the person is good-looking..."
"Tsk, it looks so good."
"Really?"
"real."
Wen Zhigu was telling the truth. Ji Xubai himself was handsome and good-looking, and this light blue dress made him look even more indifferent and handsome.
The couple arrived late, and Wen Zhigu had originally planned to take the initiative to apologize to the emperor and Marquis Ji, but as soon as Ji Xubai entered the hall, he took the initiative to say to them with a smile: "I'm really sorry, just now I asked Zhigu to change the medicine for me, which took some time."
How could Mr. Ji blame him? He smiled and asked them to take their seats quickly.
Wen Zhigu sat next to Wen Jian and Ji Xubai. He didn't say much. Most of the time he was greeting Ji Xili who was standing beside him. At this moment, Ji Xili's belly showed signs of pregnancy, but look at her face. Ruddy, probably because he was well taken care of by the emperor.
The birthday banquet was very harmonious and enjoyable. Sheng Zhiyu also asked about Ji Xubai's leg injury. Ji Xubai smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm recovering well."
"Today is a family dinner, no need to be formal."
Ji Xubai nodded and called his brother-in-law.
Because he was happy, Ji Xubai drank some wine today. Of course, he only drank with Wen Zhigu's permission.
When Sheng Zhiyu saw it, he said "tsk", "I see something is wrong with you two."
With this momentum, Ji Xubai drank the last sip of wine in the cup gracefully, stood up, and looked at Wen Zhigu next to him. Wen Zhigu was concentrating on picking up food for Wen Jian, so Ji Xubai had to cough. The voice said: "You know what's going on, look at me first."
