Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

The front hall of the Duke's Mansion was very lively. Now it was almost time for the banquet to begin, and the guests took their seats and toasted each other.

Ji Yao had just sent a maid to pick up Yun Wu, and not long after, she saw her elder brother coming in, and the petite figure following closely behind him was none other than Yun Wu.

"Major General."

Many people stood up and nodded to Ji Siyan with a flattering look on their faces. Ji Siyan just responded politely one by one, and strode towards the seat where the Prime Minister's Mansion was located with Yun Wu.

"Big brother."

Ji Chi stood up from his seat and bowed respectfully to Ji Siyan.

Ji Yao, who was hiding behind him, waved to Yun Wu quietly. Yun Wu lowered her head and walked quickly to Ji Yao's side.

"Sister Yun, why did you come here with my brother? I just sent someone to look for you."

Ji Yao said softly, pulling Yun Wu's arm and letting her sit next to her.

Yun Wu subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at Ji Siyan who was sitting next to Prime Minister Ji in front of her. Unfortunately, he seemed to notice her gaze and turned his head away, his dark eyes sharp and cold.

Her heart trembled and she quickly lowered her eyes, then she lowered her voice and told Ji Yao softly about what happened to her just now encounter with Fang Xinyue.

"How dare she say that to you? It really makes me angry. It's all my fault that I wasn't by your side at the time. Fortunately, I had my brother..."

Ji Yao was furious and held Yun Wu's hand with some guilt. She raised her eyes and saw Fang Xinyue sitting behind Minister Fang at the opposite seat.

"I thought she liked my second brother before. Now that my eldest brother has returned from the war, she thinks he is more handsome and she brazenly says she wants to marry him. She is really shameless."

After saying this, Ji Yao rolled her eyes in the direction of Fang Xinyue.

The Ji family's seats were at the front right side of the banquet. Prime Minister Ji and Ji Siyan, two people with official positions, sat in the front seats, and the rest of the family members sat in the back.

Ji Yao saw that Prime Minister Ji in front of her did not turn around to look at her, so she thought about telling Yun Wu some gossip in the capital.

However, at this moment, the noisy banquet hall suddenly became much quieter, and only the servant outside the door could be heard reporting loudly:

"The Third Prince has arrived! The Duke of Qi has arrived!"

Then two figures stepped into the hall, and everyone in the hall stood up and saluted the Third Prince and the Duke of Qi.

Yun Wu also stood up and saluted, and looking across the crowd she saw the two men walking in.

One is a middle-aged man with an old scar on his left eye, he must be the Duke of Qi, and the other is a young man wearing a dark purple brocade with cattail pattern, he must be the third prince.

"No need to be polite. I am here today to congratulate my uncle on his birthday. Please don't be restrained."

The third prince Xiao Yichen sat in the chief seat and spoke, while the Duke of Qi sat in the seat on the other side. He seemed very satisfied that his nephew, the prince, respected him so much.

The guests then took their seats one after another. Yun Wu glanced towards the main seat on the steps and saw that the Third Prince was quite good-looking.

Ji Yao had told her about the royal family. The current emperor had only one son, the third prince Xiao Yichen, born to Queen Qi. The Duke of Qi was Queen Qi's elder brother, so he came to the Duke's Mansion's birthday banquet today.

The two illegitimate princes and a princess before them all died young. Now there is only one prince left, the Third Prince, who is the legitimate son of the Empress. Logically, he should be made the crown prince.

However, there has been no succession in the past two years, and His Majesty seems to want the Third Prince to gain experience for two more years...

Yun Wu glanced at it twice before looking away, lowering her eyes and eating the dishes on the banquet in small bites.

Royal affairs had nothing to do with her. Although she liked wealth and power, she had never thought about entering the palace. It would be better for her to find a good marriage in the capital.

Ji Siyan, who was sitting in the front seat, noticed the gaze behind him. He held the wine cup and tilted his head slightly without noticing anything.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone sitting behind him who seemed to be secretly watching him...

Ji Siyan turned his head inconspicuously and continued to sit there expressionlessly, but he put down the wine cup he had just picked up absent-mindedly without taking a sip.

He should be pretty handsome today...

Ji Siyan lowered his eyes and thought seriously. He came directly to the Duke's Mansion after coming out of the palace. He was still wearing simple riding clothes.

He had never cared about these things before, but when he noticed Yun Wu looking at him, he felt a moment of nervousness in his heart.

If I had known I would be going out today, I would have worn something nicer...

However, Yun Wu at the back was secretly looking at the young men sitting at the seats opposite. Ji Yao beside her was chattering to her about which families those young men were from and what their names were.

He even told Yun Wu about their preferences and personalities.

Yun Wu listened obediently. It seemed that Ji Yao was chatting with Yun Wu about random things, but in fact, Yun Wu was also taking this opportunity to look for candidates.

For example, the young master of the Dali Temple looked pretty good. When he saw her from a distance in the backyard earlier, his face turned red. It seemed that he was easy to seduce and manipulate...

Yun Wu thought about it and had already made a plan in her mind. She lowered her eyes and ate her meal in silence.

Xiao Yichen, who was sitting at the top, handed the birthday gift to Duke Qi and said nothing more. He just expressed his condolences symbolically when he saw Ji Siyan.

"Did the young general go to the palace to see the emperor today?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I have been summoned to the palace today to report on the situation in the military camp at the border city."

Ji Siyan bowed and said lightly, Xiao Yichen nodded as if he understood.

After all, this young major general is now highly valued by his father.

Although I don't know why my father thinks so highly of him, he is the prime minister's son after all. If I can win him over, that's good. If I can't...

Xiao Yichen had a faint smile on his face, and then he stopped talking. When his eyes inadvertently swept across the Ji family's seat, he saw Yun Wu in the crowd.

It was rare for him to see such an unfamiliar beauty, and his eyes paused and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The woman had skin as white as snow and beautiful facial features. She lowered her head and ate her food in small bites obediently. She listened carefully to the woman next to her and smiled softly at her from time to time.

Xiao Yichen was the only daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion that he had seen before, so this unfamiliar woman was probably a relative of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Yichen already had a princess and two concubines in the prince's mansion. He withdrew his gaze and rubbed his fingertips holding the wine cup slightly as if he was thinking about something.

Such a beauty should be a match for him, and he could take her as his concubine in the future...

Yun Wu had no idea what the people at the top were thinking. After a rather boring banquet, the Ji family also prepared to take a carriage back to the prime minister's residence.

As a result, he was told that the carriage that Yun Wu and Ji Yao were riding in had broken down, the carriage of Prime Minister Ji and the eldest lady had already left, and only the carriage of Ji Chi and Ji Siyan had not left.

In front was Ji Chi's carriage, and in front of him was Ji Siyan's carriage. Beside them were two guards wearing armor and with serious faces, who looked ferocious.

"I, I'm going to squeeze in with my second brother!"

Ji Yao looked at Yun Wu apologetically, then ran towards Ji Chi's carriage resolutely.

God knows how awkward it is for her to get along with her elder brother. Her elder brother doesn't like to talk, which makes her, a chatterbox, feel worse than death! Cousin, you have to be considerate of her!

Yun Wu only raised her head weakly to glance at the tightly closed curtain of the carriage window. It seemed that the people inside were not moving at all.

She just stood there without moving forward, and then said to the driver beside her in a soft voice:

"It shouldn't take long for the carriage to be repaired. I'll just wait here for a while..."

The next second, the car curtain that was originally closed was pulled up, revealing Ji Siyan's stern face. He still had a calm expression and only opened his thin lips and said:

"Come up."

Ji Siyan said it succinctly, but his heart was not as it seemed...

Why did she stay there and wait instead of getting in his carriage? Was it because he hadn't said he would take her along? That must be the case.

He just didn't know how to start the conversation. If he took the initiative to speak, would it seem that he was too unrestrained? Did she think that he didn't want her to come over, so she didn't come up? What should he do then?

Ji Siyan's eyes darkened, and when he turned his head, a flash of obvious helplessness flashed across his eyes.

However, the next second he saw the pretty girl smiling at him and said in a soft voice:

"Thank you, cousin."

Bai Zhu, who was standing by, silently sighed that this cousin was really very scheming, but his young general must be——

When Bai Zhu turned around, he saw his young general staring at the little girl, and then he pulled the curtain of the car with a stiff expression and movement.

It's all over! The major general must have been deceived by this cousin's little tricks!
