2370: Not Familiar

Not Familiar

"Brother Ah-Yue." Commandery Princess Xiangchang called out with reddened eyes. She looked him over and said, "Luckily you're fine. Xiangchang was so worried."2

Duan Yue blinked and nonchalantly swept that commandery princess a glance. "Many thanks for the commandery princess's concern. The commandery princess had best call me Your Highness the Chen Prince instead."

Xiangchang's eyes immediately got redder upon hearing this. She lowered her head and bit her lip, looking hurt.

The third prince immediately helped to smooth things over. "Aiyah, Fourth Brother. You shouldn't say that! Xiangchang is the Marquis of Anxing's only daughter. Marquis of Anxing's title was conferred during our grandfather's time. The marquis's family and our imperial family also go way back."

"Correct, we grew up together with Xiangchang. How can you treat her as an outsider like this." The second prince also chipped in.

Qiao Mu, who was lying there watching the drama, only felt that these three were all idiots.

Just as expected, Duan Yue's next line faceslapped them.

"That is you." Duan Yue gave his two elder brothers a spurious smile and traced his gaze over to Commandery Princess Xiangchang. "I am not familiar with her."

The second prince and the third prince were choked by these words.

Isn't that so? This fourth brother had only just returned to the Ultramarine Province not long ago.

They were the ones who grew up together with Xiangchang, not Fourth Brother and her…

After recalling this, the second prince and the third prince could only scratch their noses and laugh awkwardly. "Ha ha."

Duan Yue reached out to pick up the little fellow from the table she was lying on. This provoked her dissatisfied glance.

She was lying there comfortably. What was he carrying her for? Don't think that he could hold her as you wished just because she was small.

Duan Yue grinned at her and dismissed her glance. He turned around while holding her and left the second prince and third prince with, "If there is nothing, my imperial brothers, I need to rest."

This was an order for them to leave now. Anger flashed past the two princes' eyes. They were getting more and more displeased by this unscrupulous fourth brother, but they couldn't say anything else right now.

They could only fling their sleeves and shout toward Xiangchang. "Xiangchang, let's go."

Yet how was Commandery Princess Xiangchang able to peel her eyes away from Duan Yue?

She was staring at him infatuatedly and could not register the second prince and third prince's shout.

Those two got even more angry when they saw Xiangchang's lovestruck look. They ditched her, flinging down the flap as they left Duan Yue's yurt.

"He doesn't know what's good for him!" The third prince ridiculed after leaving.

They had come to see him, yet he was so rude to his brothers.

The second prince was sullen and did not speak. He was naturally also displeased by Duan Yue, but with his current status and how much Imperial Father favored him, they had to first realistically judge the situation before taking action against him.

Acting rashly would only spell misfortune.

"How about Xiangchang?"

"Leave her be," the second prince said coldly.

He didn't think well of Xiangchang's feelings. It was obvious from Fourth Brother's apathetic attitude that it was not possible, but since that woman was dumb and just had to go humiliate herself, he'd just let her do that.

She would soon understand who exactly suited her more.

If not for the Marquis of Anxing, he wouldn't even bother with Xiangchang! The second prince mocked in his mind as he left with the third prince.

However, the two of them were unaware that the crown prince Rong Li, who was wearing a thick brocade cape, was coldly watching them leave from a corner of the camp.
