Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Yu Yunxi probably doesn’t know that Full Moon Pavilion is the King of

Zhenbei’s property. However, if Yu Xiaoxiao continues to cause trouble, Yu Yunxi will definitely suspect something…

Chu Yuefu really could not endure it anymore. He berated Yu Xiaoxiao immediately. He said loudly, venting his anger, “You’ve always been jealous, but I’ve always tolerated you. Unexpectedly, you’d scheme against your cousin this time! I’ve never seen a woman as jealous as you! I’ll enter the palace and ask Imperial Father for a decree to call off our engagement. From now on, who you marry has nothing to do with me!”

The onlookers were once again dumbfounded.

‘His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to break the engagement?!”

“I think the Crown Prince is doing the right thing. Didn’t you see the

Commandery Princess’ conduct earlier? She’s really an embarrassment! ”

“How could the imperial family let such a person become the Crown Prince’s side consort? It’s a good thing that the Crown Prince is breaking off the engagement!”

“That’s right. He made the right choice!”

Yu Xiaoxiao panicked immediately. “No, it’s not like that. Don’t break off the engagement!”

All along, Yu Xiaoxiao had relied on her status as the Crown Prince’s soon-to-be side consort. This was the reason the noble ladies in the capital fawned over her. Despite being promised the position of side consort, she also fantasized about becoming the Crown Princess and the Empress in the future.

Yu Xiaoxiao began to cry, looking miserable. She asked, “Are you angry because I caused trouble for Yu Yunxi? I did all those things because of you…”

Everyone’s ears pricked up immediately.

‘She did all those things because of the Crown Prince?’

‘Did the Crown Prince tell her to make things difficult for the Eldest Princess?’

Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, the murderous expression on Chu Yuefu’s face intensified.

‘This incompetent fool!’

Chu Yuefu looked back and scolded his attendant, “Why aren’t you dragging her away?”

The attendant reacted immediately. Without wasting time, he walked over and knocked Yu Xiaoxiao unconscious.

Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao being dragged away, everyone lowered their heads immediately and pretended like nothing happened. However, inwardly, they had already begun to speculate.

‘It seems like it’s just as Yu Xiaoxiao said..

‘The Crown Prince is trying to make things difficult for the Eldest Princess…’

‘He was afraid this matter would be exposed so he quickly dragged Yu Xiaoxiao away!’

‘Tsk! Not only did Yu Xiaoxiao offend her cousin, the Eldest Princess, but her engagement was also called off by the Crown Prince. Yu Xiaoxiao’s glory is now a thing of the past, and she only has a tragic end waiting for her…’

At this time, Chu Yuefu turned around. His murderous expression had already vanished, replaced by a gentle expression as he said, “Cousin Yunxi, I didn’t know Yu Xiaoxiao was so vicious. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely break off the engagement with her.”

Despite the faint smile on her face, Yu Yunxi’s voice was cold as she said,

“Crown Prince, I don’t care if you break your engagement with her or not. However, I suggest that the two of you continue to be together. After all, the two of you are… very compatible.”

Yu Yunxi continued to think to herself, ‘Both of you are equally disgusting…

Chu Yuefu naturally understood the meaning behind Yu Yunxi’s words. His smile froze immediately, and his gaze darkened slightly. He held back his anger and asked, “Cousin Yunxi, do you have some misunderstanding about

Without waiting for Yu Yunxi’s reply, Chu Yuefu continued to say, “What happened last night was a misunderstanding. In fact, I prepared many gifts for you. I didn’t expect Wang Deshun to only bring a dress over. I’ve already severely punished him for his transgression.”

Luo Xiuran cleared his throat as he slowly fanned himself and said, “In fact,

Crown Prince, it doesn’t matter how many things you give the Eldest Princess. She won’t accept them no matter what. After all, who would accept unlucky things?”

Chu Yuefu’s attendant scolded immediately, “How dare you insult the Crown Prince?”

Luo Xiuran put away his fan and asked innocently, “Huh? Is that an insult?”

Then, Luo Xiuran turned to look at Qian Qing and asked, “Qian Qing, do you think that was an insult?”

Seeing that a certain young marquis wanted to drag her down with him, Qian Qing massaged her temples, feeling helpless. Nonetheless, she still cooperated and calmly said, “That wasn’t an insult. Young Marquis Luo, you were merely telling the truth.”

‘Impudent!’

Chu Yuefu had never been humiliated like this before. He looked at the sword at the guard’s waist and wanted to end Luo Xiuran’s life with one strike.

However, at this moment, Luo Xiuran said, “Crown Prince, I was just joking. Are you angry? Are you really angry?”

Then, Luo Xiuran hurried to Yu Yunxi’s side and said pitifully, “Eldest Princess, I’m so scared! The Crown Prince is angry! Is he going to chop off my head?”

Yu Yunxi:

Qian Qing: .

‘The way a certain young marquis stir up trouble and act cute is really…

unique…’

Despite her thoughts, Yu Yunxi said with a straight face, “How can that be? The Crown Prince is magnanimous. Why would he take your life over such a small matter? Moreover, I also joked with him earlier. He didn’t kill me, right?”

Chu Yuefu’s killing intent rose to the peak at this moment. However, he could only forcefully suppress it. He said with great difficulty, “Of course. Since it was just a joke, I naturally wouldn’t be angry.”

‘This Luo Xiuran better watch out! He better not give me a chance to rip his mouth to shreds!’

Suddenly…

“How lively. I wondered what I missed…”

Xiao Shici walked over at this moment.

Everyone turned over in unison and saw Xiao Shici carrying Yu Junjin with one arm as he walked over. His otherworldly temperament and extraordinary appearance caught many people’s attention immediately.

“You are?” Chu Yuefu asked probingly. However, he soon saw the jade token on Xiao Shici’s waist that was unique to Beixiao. With that, it was not difficult to guess the other party’s identity.

Chu Yuefu said unhappily, “So it’s the Third Prince of Beixiao.”

‘All these people entered the capital a long time ago, but they only interacted with Yu Yunxi and neglected me, the Crown Prince.’ Xiao Shici nodded and said, “Greetings, Crown Prince.”

Xiao Shici was gentle and polite. There was no flaw at all.

Chu Yuefu shifted his gaze to the little bun, who was in Xiao Shici’s arms. His gaze darkened slightly as he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, he’s the King of Youshan’s son. Why is he so familiar with the Third Prince?”

At the same time, Chu Yuefu thought to himself, ‘Could it be that they’ve colluded behind my back? The King of Youshan has a lot of troops. If he gains the support of Beixiao, will Imperial Father and I still be able to sit firmly in our positions?’

Chu Yuefu’s mood became even more grim when he thought about this.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran looked at the little bun, speechless.

‘So this little fellow snuck out today. Little brat, do you know that he’s your father’s love rival? Don’t stand on the wrong side!’

The little bun squirmed awkwardly when he saw Luo Xiuran staring at him.

However, his small hands were still grabbing the front of Xiao Shici’s robe. After all, Xiao Shici was his eldest uncle and treated him very well.

“Oh, so this little fellow is the King of Youshan’s son! He really inherited the King of Youshan’s good looks, ” Xiao Shici said, acting as though he had just found out about the little bun’s identity..
