“The Third Prince doesn’t know his identity?” Chu Yuefu asked as he looked at Xiao Shici with a piercing gaze. It was as though he wanted to see through Xiao Shici’s thoughts.

Yu Yunxi naturally did not want Chu Yuefu to target Xiao Shici. Hence, she quickly carried the little bun and said lightly, “Crown Prince, Junjin followed me to Full Moon Pavilion. The Third Prince met Junjin because of me. He didn’t know Junjin’s identity before. Is there anything else you want to ask?”

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was unhappy, Chu Yuefu’s expression turned solemn. In the next moment, he became suspicious again. He asked, “Cousin Yunxi, do you have a good relationship with the King of Youshan? You’re even taking care of his child.”

‘Could it be that the King of Youshan and the King of Zhenbei have already joined forces?’

“That’s right. It’s just as you said. Our relationship is… extremely good,” Yu Yunxi said meaningfully. She naturally knew what Chu Yuefu was thinking. It would be best if she could scare him until he could not sleep at night.

Yu Yunxi turned and said to Xiao Shici in a soft voice, “Alright, Junjin must be hungry. Let’s return to the room to eat.”

After saying that, Yu Yunxi carried the little bun away.

Chu Yuefu naturally did not want Yu Yunxi to be alone with Xiao Shici, so he quickly followed them.

However, Yu Yunxi suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and casually said, “Crown Prince, if you have so much free time, why don’t you go and investigate Full Moon Pavilion?”

“Why do I need to investigate the Full Moon Pavilion?”

Chu Yuefu’s expression turned cold immediately.

‘Does she know the secret of Full Moon Pavilion? If so, I can’t tolerate her existence anymore…’

“You’re the Crown Prince, so you’re naturally in charge of many things in the capital. The Shang family is just a small family without much foundation, but they’re able to develop Full Moon Pavilion to such a state. Who knows if there are any secrets behind this matter?” Yu Yunxi said nonchalantly, “However, this is just my suspicion. Perhaps the Shang family is really just very capable, and it’s not because they have someone else supporting them. In any case, I just suddenly thought of this so I casually said it to you. If you think I’m spouting nonsense, then just forget it…”

After saying that, Yu Yunxi walked into the room, and the door closed with a thud.

Chu Yuefu’s attendants and guards were furious.

“The Eldest Princess is too arrogant. She actually stopped the Crown Prince from entering the room!”

Irritated by the noise, Chu Yuefu said, “Shut up.”

Chu Yuefu was naturally furious that Yu Yunxi disrespected him, but he was not in the mood to care about this matter now. He was more concerned about the Full Moon Pavilion now. Whether or not Yu Yunxi had discovered something fishy, he had to do something.

‘Because of that idiot, Yu Xiaoxiao, I’m sure many people will grow suspicious. I have to enter the palace as soon as possible to discuss this matter with

Mother!’

With this thought in mind, Chu Yuefu flicked his sleeve and left.

Yu Yunxi’s expression remained calm as she listened to the sounds of footsteps gradually moving away. She naturally knew that Chu Yuefu was panicking because of her ‘kind reminder’.

At this time, Luo Xiuran cleared his throat and asked, “You don’t mind another person joining you, right?”

“The table is so big. Join us if you want,” Yu Yunxi replied.

Luo Xiuran ran over and quickly chose in the middle so that Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici could not sit together.

Yu Yunxi said to Qian Qing and Meng Xia, “Both of you take a seat as well.” The duo exchanged a look and said in unison, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”

Luo Xiuran pulled Qian Qing to sit beside him, saying, “Qian Qing, sit here.”

Then, Luo Xiuran lowered his voice before he continued to say, “With the two of us here, that person from Beixiao won’t be able to steal Yunxi away.”

Apart from the little bun, everyone in the room was a martial arts expert, and their hearing was very good. Hence, they could all hear Luo Xiuran’s words.

Yu Yunxi’s expression darkened. She regretted letting Luo Xiuran join them at this moment.

Qian Qing’s expression was indescribable as she thought to herself, ‘Does he feel like things are not embarrassing enough?’

On the contrary, Xiao Shici, ‘the person from Beixiao’ whom Luo Xiuran mentioned, was very calm. He chuckled and said, “Young Marquis Luo’s relationship with the Prince Regent is just as good as the rumors said.”

Luo Xiuran opened his fan and fanned himself. Looking like a peacock spreading its feathers, he said arrogantly, “Of course.”

At this time, the dishes were served, so everyone no longer paid attention to Luo Xiuran.

After eating and drinking their fill, they slowly made their way downstairs.

From afar, Yu Yunxi saw a man with a white beard standing at the door.

When the man saw Yu Yunxi, his eyes turned red immediately. He was clearly struggling to control emotions as he called out tremblingly, ‘IL-little Master…” Yu Yunxi’s emotions stirred slightly.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Shici said tactfully, “Since you have something to deal with, I’ll wait outside.”

Xiao Shici did not ask any questions. After saying that to Yu Yunxi, he carried Yu Junjin out.

Luo Xiuran, who was at the back, looked at Yu Yunxi’s back before he looked at Xiao Shici’s hack.

‘This man has a good sense of propriety. He has no flaws at all…’

Luo Xiuran muttered under his breath, “If Yunxi weren’t Yili’s Princess Consort, I have to say the Third Prince of Beixiao is quite good…”

Qian Qing: .

Meng Xia: .

‘Who wanted to stop the Third Prince of Beixiao from stealing the Eldest

Princess away earlier? In the end, he’s the one who was swayed first!’

Qian Qing shook her head and said, “Young Marquis, let’s go out first.” Luo Xiuran did not react lost in his thoughts.

Seeing this, Qian Qing grabbed Luo Xiuran’s arm impatiently and said, “Luo

Xiuran, let’s go out first.”

‘Hmm?’

When Luo Xiuran regained his senses, he looked at Qian Qing’s side profile with burning eyes. He naturally allowed her to hold his arm. He leaned over and continued staring at her with a burning gaze as he asked, “Qian Qing, what did you call me earlier?”

Qian Qing could not be bothered to respond to him.

Luo Xiuran stuck close to Qian Qing and continued to ask in a soft but firm voice, “Qian Qing, what did you call me earlier? Can you say it again?”

After all, Qian Qing had addressed Luo Xiuran as ‘Young Marquis Luo’ for the longest time. He hated the feeling of alienation from the form of address.

Qian Qing was so annoyed that she could not hold back anymore. She stopped in her tracks and said expressionlessly, “Luo Xiuran. Is this enough? Can we go out now?”

“Of course!”

Luo Xiuran beamed with joy. All the gloominess in his heart seemed to vanish at this moment. He followed behind Qian Qing like a little tail.

Meng Xia, who was following at the back, only had one thought at this moment.

‘I shouldn’t be here. I’m just a third wheel…’

Meanwhile, Manager Liu asked Yu Yunxi, “Little Master, it’s not convenient to talk here.. Can we go to the back?”
