Chapter 129 – Extra 2 (Xiang'er)

The peach blossoms were in full bloom in the third lunar month where countless fallen blossoms were in gay profusion. Such a glorious day was the day the daughter of Ye Huaili, General Marshall of Pingxi, turned three years old.

When the Yi tribe launched an attack against Chu Country after Qiuci seven years ago, the northwest was enveloped in the flames of war. After Ye Huaili received orders to repel the enemy assaults, he stayed at the border for several years in order to coordinate with Chu Jinglan's recovery and recouping policies by establishing garrison and consolidating the border defense so that the Yi tribe would not dare to act rashly again.

During this time, he met a foreign woman, DuoMi and had a little baby, Ye Sitian after two years of marriage. Unfortunately, her health has always been weak due to premature birth. It was not until she returned to the capital that her health gradually improved after two years of thorough nursing. There was a fortune-teller who said that a ceremony of a hundred-ritual needs to be set up at the age of three and thirteen in order to be rid of calamities and to ensure a lifetime of peace for her. Ye Huaili never believed these but for the sake of his precious daughter, he did as instructed, hence the banquet for today.

Since Ye Huaiyang loves Ye Sitian dearly, she naturally wanted to take part on such a day. It was just that due to her status, it was not good for her to appear amongst the crowded feast, so she sat in the backyard pavilion for a moment.

DuoMi is a candid person and her every move is full of the unique spontaneity quality of a foreign woman, hence she is very in tune with Ye Huaiyang and the two of them unknowingly had an in-depth talk, but the children were getting somewhat restless. Rubbing DuoMi's arm and acting spoiled, Ye Sitian said she wanted to go catch butterflies. Ye Huaiyang's heart almost melted seeing her cute little appearance that she immediately called Chu Xiang over.

"Xiang'er, Mother and Aunt will chat for a while more. Can you bring your little sister to go catch butterflies in the garden?"

Chu Xiang nodded and stepped forward to hold Ye Sitian's hand. Ye Sitian seemed to like him very much as she strode away and followed him in small steps. Accompanying the gradual distance sound of the two children's footsteps were the softly jingling golden bell tied around her waist.

The eight-year-old Chu Xiang is no longer short. With handsome brows, starry eyes and a dashing demeanor, he is precisely the spitting image of another Chu Jinglan. No matter where he goes, he will attract everyone's attention and he even brought along a jade-carved-like little girl today. Walking steadily all the way, he would even carry her up whenever there were steps and possessed the utmost bearing of an elder brother.

As the spring breeze flitted over the tip of the branches, peach petals fell and floated like rain to this side of the courtyard wall where thousands of clusters dropped chaotically into the carp pond and the arch bridge with inevitably bright colors. With the air full of sweet-scented fragrance, Chu Xiang led Ye Sitian amidst this and the little kid seemed to be quite excited as she bounced and skipped non-stop.

"Brother Xiang, where are the little butterflies ah?"

Looking up to observe for a while, Chu Xiang vaguely saw some colorful butterflies fluttering in the forest depths. He asked the servant for a net before saying to Ye Sitian, "There are little butterflies inside, Elder Brother will take you there, okay?"

Ye Sitian nodded her head hurriedly and her two doughnut-like hair buns swayed a few times in wake of her rosy little face, which set forth her extreme cuteness. Seeing this, with a hand grasping the net, Chu Xiang held her hand and led her in.
