Prince De pushed Jian Xun’s hand forward, which made him take two steps toward An Jiuyue’s seat.
Jian Xun gulped when he saw An Jiuyue staring at him coldly. He wanted to take a step back, but his legs refused to listen.
He could tell she was not a simple lady. He was definitely not her match!
If he fell into the hands of An Jiuyue, who had Qian Jiyun as her backer, he would…
Probably be beaten to death, right?
“Miss… Miss… I’m… I’m Jian Xun. I’m Princess Imperial’s… the heir apparent of the Princess Imperial Residence. You…”
“Wow, the heir apparent of the Princess Imperial Residence! So?”
An Jiuyue looked at the man in front of her in amusement.
Daqing Kingdom was different from other countries. In Daqing Kingdom, every son of a noble was addressed as the heir apparent to a title.
In short, no matter how many sons one had, all would be known as heirs apparent to others. It was no different from saying that he was the princess imperial’s son.
According to Elder Huang’s information, the princess imperial of Daqing Kingdom was particularly fertile. She had eight children after her marriage, six of whom were sons.
Therefore, Jian Xun was only one of Princess Imperial’s six sons!
Jian Xun was speechless.
Why did he get the impression that An Jiuyue was not praising him? Instead, there was a hint of sarcasm.
“Miss, we are fated to meet. My uncle likes your talent very much. I wonder if… you can come with my uncle to the Prince De Residence?”
He took a deep breath and followed his mother’s instructions to push everything toward Prince De.
They only wanted to create conflict between Prince De and Qian Jiyun.
If that happened, the Emperor would issue a decree for Prince De to head to the southern border immediately. With Prince De’s advisors around, they believed he would not be overly cautious at the southern border and would go all out.
Meanwhile, the Emperor might also issue a decree to reprimand Qian Jiyun for fighting with Prince De over An Jiuyue. He would be indifferent to him for some time.
It was the best of both worlds!
Prince De was speechless.
What the hell? What does this have to do with me? That’s enough! Are these people concerned that I’m living well? How can they slander me like this?
Even if he was blinded by lust, he had no intention of getting involved with An Jiuyue after learning she was the woman Qian Jiyun had brought back!
He did not want to provoke Qian Jiyun and die young. He was certain that man would kill him over 1,000 times without his father ever knowing!
What good would his death do them?
“Jian Xun, what nonsense are you spouting—”
“Oh yeah, this young lady is indeed quite beautiful!”
Prince De was about to dismiss Jian Xun when a very familiar voice interrupted him from behind.
He was stunned for a moment but quickly realized who was behind him. It was the 16th Prince, Prince Sui, who, like him, had never done anything proper and was blinded by lust.
This person would not care if the woman in front of him was Qian Jiyun’s woman. If he liked her, he would take her.
Things were getting exciting now!
