Chapter 010 Beauty

"The documents of Yang Huating, the servant and young minister, have been withheld. King Cheng summoned his right minister to the palace overnight. The emperor is now looking for you everywhere."

"Um."

"My lord, just now..." The tall guard wearing a sword had just finished speaking when the young man next to him interrupted him with a "hiss".

It was quiet on the mountain, and the temple in the distance was still brightly lit. This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Youmei Jinyi walked at night and said calmly: "Wenji, don't talk too much while watching the show."

The guard named Wen Ji stopped talking.

"He likes to go to the theatre."

In the room, Jiang Li was explaining to Tong'er.

"Girl, do you think that is... is that Duke Su?" Tong'er asked.

Jiang Li nodded: "Not bad."

The Yan Dynasty has produced many talented people for hundreds of years, but Duke Su is the youngest Duke today. Speaking of which, he is only twenty-four now.

Ji Heng, Duke of Su State, whose father Ji Minhan was General Jinwu, followed the late emperor to expand territory and made great contributions. The late emperor expressed his gratitude and granted him the title of Duke Su.

General Jinwu is extraordinary in military prowess and the emperor's favourite. He is the dream man of all the daughters of the Yan Dynasty. It's just that the general Ji Minhan married the daughter of a criminal minister, Yu Hongye.

Yu Hongye's father was involved in a corruption case at the time, and after the investigation, the whole family was implicated. As a concubine of the Yu family, Yu Hongye was demoted to a brothel. Young Ji Minhan was socializing with his colleagues and fell in love with Yu Hongye at first sight.

Yu Hongye was born in a beautiful country and had a smart and cunning personality. In fact, even though she was the daughter of a guilty minister, the young masters in Yanjing City were eager to please her. Later, Ji Minghan redeemed Yu Hongye's life and married her.

If Ji Minghan was born into an ordinary family, at most he would be criticized by others. Fortunately Ji Minghan is General Jinwu and the Duke of Su. The Ji family obstructs Ji Minghan from marrying Yu Hongye in every possible way. However, Ji Minhan did things his own way, so there was nothing they could do.

One year after Yu Hongye and Ji Minghan got married, Yu Hongye gave birth to Ji Heng. When Ji Heng was one year old, the Eastern Xia invaded, and Ji Minghan took orders to go on an expedition. When he returned in triumph, he learned that Yu Hongye was seriously ill and had died.

No one knows what happened. They only know that all the servants inside and outside Ji's family have been replaced. The maids who served Yu Hongye have never appeared again, and Ji Minhan has also been with the clan. The contact was severed, and from then on Su Guogong's family had no descendants.

After everything was taken care of, Ji Minhan disappeared, leaving only his youngest son Ji Heng, who was raised by his grandfather, General Ji. Later, the late emperor died of illness and Emperor Hong Xiao ascended the throne. The young boy Ji Heng inherited the title and became the youngest Duke of the Yan Dynasty at the age of fourteen.

Ji Heng's father's life was quite legendary, and when it was Ji Heng's turn, he was no less generous.

What the people of Yan Dynasty talked about most was Ji Heng's appearance.

People heard that Ji Heng's biological mother, Yu Hongye, was a famous beauty in the world. She looked like the person in the painting with every look and smile, and she was more agile than the person in the painting. She deserved the title of ‘enchantress’. Ji Heng's appearance mostly inherited his mother's beauty, which can make people look crazy. But his temperament inherited Ji Minghan's coldness. People who can be like General Jinwu are naturally strong and determined.
