The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

The youngest brother, Ji Qiutao, is seventeen years old and is the happy fruit of the family. He is mischievous and can always bring surprises and laughter to others. He has a pair of bright eyes, flashing with curiosity and mischief. He always has a bright smile on his face, as if no troubles can make him depressed. He is lively and active, likes to play pranks, but he can always stand up at the critical moment. In short, he is full of youthful energy and vigor.

The three brothers of the Ji family have different personalities, but they are closely connected like a solid rock.

In contrast, Ji Qiuchi's personality is completely different from her brothers. She is more like a little man, carefree.

Ji Qiuchi has shown a unique personality since she was young. She doesn't like to be constrained by the traditional role of a girl, and prefers to play and take risks with her brothers. Her laughter is always so hearty and informal, giving people a sense of freedom and unrestrainedness.

The three brothers have been playing with their sister since she was young. As long as she is happy, she doesn't care about those restrictions. The three brothers will protect her and not let her get hurt.

Normally, the three brothers and sisters play and joke around, whether it is frolicking or playing pranks, they are loyal partners to each other. However, once they encounter problems or face difficulties and challenges, the three brothers can always work together with one mind.

Looking at their three outstanding sons and their naughty daughter, the couple smiled from ear to ear!

Ji Qiuchi looked at her father Ji Mingze's happy face and was filled with curiosity. She was a lively and curious girl. Seeing her father so happy, she ran up to him and gently squeezed his shoulders, asking curiously, "Dad, you look so happy. Is there any good news? Did the emperor find a wife for my eldest brother?"

As soon as Ji Qiuchi asked the question, the originally warm atmosphere instantly became a little awkward. Ji Mingze flashed an awkward smile on his face, and he gently patted Ji Qiuchi's hand, signaling her not to talk nonsense. Ji Qiuquan, who was standing aside, frowned, stepped forward, and gently gave Ji Qiuchi a pumpkin bang, and blamed: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about! You are a little girl, you should be careful with your words!"

After being scolded by her brother, Ji Qiuchi raised her head high, retreated to her mother's side unconvinced, and took her mother's hand as if to complain. Zhang was already accustomed to such scenes, and just gently scratched Li Qiuchi's nose and said softly: "Don't make your eldest brother unhappy!"

When their father Ji Mingze saw this scene, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes. He loved his only daughter so much! He walked to Ji Qiuchi and gently stroked her hair, then said to Ji Qiuquan and his two sons: "You bastards, you only know how to bully your sister! She still has you. Your sister is still young and naive, and you don't know how to give in." There was blame in his tone, but more of it was doting on his daughter!

Ji Qiuchi hugged his mother and made a face at his eldest brother in triumph.

Except for the father and daughter, everyone else was speechless. This father is really too doting on his daughter!

Seeing that his father was blaming him, Ji Qiutao couldn't help but join in the teasing. He smiled and said to Ji Qiuquan: "Brother, what my sister said is right. You are over 20 years old and still don't have a wife!" There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but it also revealed his concern for his brother.

After hearing what his brother said, Ji Qiuquan just raised his eyebrows slightly, with a playful smile on his lips. He turned the tables and responded slowly: "Third brother, I think it's you who wants a wife. What's the matter? Have you been feeling amorous recently? How about letting Dad find you one?"

Ji Qiutao was caught off guard by his elder brother's sudden counterattack. He froze in place, and his expression instantly became complicated. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to answer. He could only smile awkwardly, scratching his head and said, "Brother...brother, you are joking. I am still young...it is my elder brother who should marry first!"

Zhang covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes sparkling with happiness. He smiled softly and said, "Okay, okay, Master, you asked the children to come over. I think you have something important to tell them. Don't waste time, just tell them."

Ji Mingze heard this, glared at Zhang, and pretended to be angry and said: "You bastards, you almost made me forget the important things!" He looked at his eldest son Ji Qiuquan with satisfaction, and his face showed appreciation. Then, he looked out the door mysteriously and said softly: "Well, I guess the imperial edict should be here soon."

Hearing this, several people showed puzzled expressions. Ji Qiushui blinked and asked curiously: "Dad, is it really as my sister said, that the emperor wants to grant a marriage to my eldest brother?" Otherwise, they really couldn't imagine it. What kind of imperial edict is brought for no reason!

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingze tapped Ji Qiu Shui's forehead gently and scolded with a smile: "What are you all thinking about? Stop guessing, you will know when the imperial edict arrives." There was a hint of pampering in his tone, but it was also serious, which made them dare not guess anymore.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant hurried into the room and breathlessly reported, "Master, Eunuch Liu has arrived outside the mansion and is waiting for you to meet him."

When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately straightened up. Are they serious? Ji Mingze hurriedly ordered, "Go and invite Eunuch Liu in!" His words revealed a hint of urgency and respect, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to the arrival of Eunuch Liu.

Several people walked out the door quickly. Ji Mingze walked in front with a decent smile on his face and steady and powerful steps. Ji Qiuquan, Ji Qiushui and others followed closely behind, their faces also showed nervous and curious expressions, and they were full of anticipation for the imperial edict that was about to be announced.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw a eunuch in gorgeous official uniform and holding a whisk standing outside the gate waiting. Ji Mingze quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Eunuch Liu, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

Eunuch Liu smiled and nodded, responding, "Master Ji, you are too polite. We are here on orders of the emperor and have something important to tell you." As he spoke, he followed Ji Mingze and his party into the mansion.

Ji Mingze and his group led Eunuch Liu into the mansion, which was already unusually quiet. Seeing the whole family gathered together, it was obvious that they had learned that there would be important news to be announced. Eunuch Liu guessed that Master Li had already informed his family of the news in advance.

He cleared his throat and said, "Master Ji, we won't beat around the bush. Just accept the imperial edict!" Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down and bowed their heads respectfully, waiting for Eunuch Liu to read out the imperial edict.

Eunuch Liu slowly opened the bright yellow imperial edict and began to read: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Ji Qiuquan, son of Ji Mingze, has been extremely intelligent since childhood, proficient in military tactics, and both brave and resourceful. Today, wars are frequent in the land of the Southern Barbarians. I hereby appoint Ji Qiuquan as the Junior Marshal to lead an army of 50,000 to support the Southern Barbarians together with the Grand Marshal. They will set off in three days! I hope he will live up to everyone's expectations and return triumphantly. I decree this!"

As Eunuch Liu read out the announcement, the atmosphere in the Ji Mansion became more solemn. Ji Mingze and Ji Qiuquan both showed excitement on their faces!

Others were surprised and delighted!

After reading the eunuch, Liu handed the imperial edict to Ji Qiuquan. Ji Qiuquan took the edict with both hands and bowed deeply to express his gratitude to the emperor. Then, Liu gave a few more words of encouragement and left!
