"What exactly do you want?!" The Sixth Master was very angry.
Although the previous incident didnât escalate, that doesnât mean he forgave him.
On the contrary, not only did he not forgive, but he became even angrier.
All this time, not a single apology? He didnât even admit it!
Forgive my ass!
The Fifth Master was so angry he laughed.
"What do I want? What a ridiculous question!"
The Sixth Prince felt a bit confused.
Even though he himself wasnât a good person.
But seeing the Fifth Master like this, he still felt extremely disgusted.
The Fifth Master spoke fiercely again.
"You have no right to interfere with my affairs!"
"You donât deserve to know what I want!"
"Itâs late, Sixth Brother should rest early!"
After speaking, he was about to leave.
The Sixth Master grabbed him.
"What do you mean I have no right to interfere?"
"We share the same mother. I took fifty lashes for the Second Miss Xia incident on your behalf last time."
"Mother Consort was also punished by the Punishment Department because of it!"
"No matter how much Mother Consort interrogated me afterward, I never ratted you out!"
"Fifth Brother, what exactly do you want?!"
After speaking, he paused for a moment, then suddenly sneered.
"Oh, I understand now. Mother Consort has lost her influence, and my legs arenât in good shape. Youâre disgusted with me and Mother Consort, arenât you?"
The Fifth Master: "..."
As soon as Empress Dowager Zhen was mentioned,
His eyes burned with fury, his expression twisted.
"Disgusted?"
"Who exactly is disgusted with whom?"
Sharing the same mother? More laughable!
In Mother Consortâs eyes, thereâs only Sixth Brother, isnât there?
She would even die for him!
If it were me? Forget about eighty lashes?!
Probably wouldnât even bother, would let me fend for myself!
How laughable!
But it doesnât matter.
Once he marries Princess Hai Feng, he wonât have to go to the fief.
Imperial Brother will definitely keep him in the Capital City, and perhaps even move his title.
By then, Mother Consort and Sixth Brother will have to depend on him.
He doesnât believe Empress Dowager Zhen still wonât value him.
As for the previous Second Miss Xia, that was obviously also the intention.
No real feelings.
What he always wanted was just benefits!
He must prove to Mother Consort heâs never inferior to Sixth Brother.
Heâs versatile, has a better reputation, looks better, more filial and excellent than him!
Yes, heâs just stronger than him!
He will prove it to Mother Consort.
The Sixth Brother you cherish so much is simply not as good as me!
"You leave, I donât want to see you now!"
The Fifth Master shook off his hand and decisively left.
The Sixth Master was deeply hurt, utterly helpless, and could only turn and leave!
...
The next day
In the posthouse, during breakfast.
Prince Jin looked at his daughter with some curiosity.
"Fengfeng, whereâs your veil?"
Hai Feng felt uncomfortable, lowered her head in annoyance and said angrily.
"Donât want it anymore! Threw it away!"
Prince Jin stroked his big beard thoughtfully.
"Did the Emperor of Great Chu offend you?"
Hai Feng was both angry and annoyed.
"Father, donât mention him anymore!"
"I will never look for him again!"
As a noble Commandery Princess, she had never been treated so harshly before!
He was downright ferocious, bullying people too much!
Prince Jinâs face sank slightly, pondering for a long time before asking, his expression complicated.
"Really cut ties?"
Hai Feng nodded heavily.
"Really cut ties!"
Prince Jinâs eyes briefly showed a hint of disappointment, but it quickly disappeared.
He adjusted his mood moments later and consoled.
"Itâs good to cut ties! The Emperor of Great Chu has so many women, my Fengfeng would naturally face grievances marrying there!"
"Not marrying is better!"
Hai Feng nodded angrily.
"Exactly, not marrying is better!"
Although saying so, sheâs still somewhat unwilling in her heart.
After liking him for so long, wearing the veil for a year or two.
Itâs impossible to suddenly let go, but his ferociousness and his look of wanting to kill her...
She really believes that if she keeps pestering him.
He might actually kill her.
So... Sheâs both unwilling and afraid!
Does he truly dislike her that much?
Dislike to the point of risking a conflict between the two countries, refusing her and even wanting to kill her?!
The more she thought, the more distressed Hai Feng became.
"I donât want to eat anymore!"
Hai Feng threw down her bowl and chopsticks and swiftly ran out.
Prince Jin stood up worriedly and chased after her.
"Fengfeng!"
"Fengfeng, you havenât eaten yet..."
Hai Feng hadnât yet run out of the courtyard.
She encountered her personal female attendants rushing up.
"Commandery Princess! Commandery Princess!"
Hai Feng didnât have time to pay attention to them; she turned her head and ran.
They chased after her.
"Commandery Princess! That... A gentleman has come to see you!"
They didnât know the manâs name, so they could only say it this way!
Hai Feng ran far away and didnât hear it.
Prince Jin, who was following behind, heard it all clearly.
"What did you say? Whoâs come to see Fengfeng?!"
"Replying to Prince Jin, a man, the one who escorted Commandery Princess back to the posthouse yesterday!"
Prince Jin was a bit puzzled.
"Escorted Fengfeng back yesterday?"
Itâs definitely not the Emperor?! Who could it be?!
The more he thought, the more curious he became, stepping forward to chase after her.
...
At the entrance of the courtyard where Hai Feng resided, there indeed stood a man in white.
His figure was tall and graceful, his demeanor elegant, wearing a Cloud Button on his head and Purple Patterned Boots on his feet.
The Apricot Yellow Python Patterned Robe on him was extraordinarily luxurious, his gestures exuded natural nobility.
Though slightly inferior to the Emperor of Great Chu.
But just from appearance, he was indeed outstanding.
The visitor was none other than the Fifth Master!
Seeing Hai Feng running toward him, he quickly stepped forward, showing concern.
"Whatâs the matter, Commandery Princess?"
Hai Feng glanced at him, had no mood to talk, turned with tears in her eyes, and ran away.
The Fifth Prince found it very perplexing.
Turning his head, he saw Prince Jin coming over.
He hurried forward to greet him.
"Greetings to Prince Jin!"
Prince Jin realized it was him and finally understood.
"Oh, itâs you! The Fifth Prince of Great Chu!"
He had seen him on the first day upon their arrival and thought he looked good, with outstanding temperament!
Seeing him now, dressed up meticulously, he was even more impressive!
Not much inferior to the Emperor of Great Chu!
Of course.
Actually, he still thought that these royal family offspring were all pretty much the same.
At least to someone like him, a coarse person with no visible differences, they all seemed like little lambs.
Pretty much, they were all pretty good!
The Fifth Master smiled slightly.
"Prince Jin remembers Young Prince?!"
Prince Jin chuckled.
"Of course, remember, the first return day was Fifth Prince leading the reception!"
"The first one I saw was you!"
Because you were the only one wearing white in the front, it was very conspicuous, right?!
The Fifth Master knew it was polite small talk and just smiled faintly.
"Prince Jin has good eyesight and memory!"
Prince Jin waved his hand.
"Youâre flattering me!"
The Fifth Master didnât want to dwindle on this topic and directly asked.
"Young Prince dares to inquire, whatâs wrong with the Commandery Princess?"
Prince Jin looked at him, then at the courtyard, thought for a while, and said helplessly.
"My daughterâs feelings you all know, and your Emperorâs intentions, my daughter knows too..."
"Unfortunately, my daughterâs wholehearted devotion is about to go in vain!"
Prince Jinâs expression was very desolate.
Someone who didnât know might think he had been rejected.
However, the Fifth Master didnât mind this, in fact, he was even a bit pleased by what he said.
