Please, I Just Want to Be the Cousin

Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—

Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.

Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....

Chapter 166 The Second Prince Goes to the Palace to Invite His Brother

The fifth prince Li Jingyu and Zhou Zhiquan live very comfortably in Prince Fu'an's mansion. Except for studying in the morning, they can do whatever they want in the rest of the time.

No one cared about them and no one nagged them. The most important thing was that there was enough ice and the meals were delicious every day. Neither of them had the thought of going back.

Five days later, when the Second Prince had finished his work and went to the palace to pay his respects to his mother, he learned that his only brother had left the palace and was living in his cousin's residence. His face instantly darkened when he found out that he had not gone to his cousin's residence.

After leaving the palace, the Second Prince went straight to Prince Fu'an's residence. It was already afternoon when he arrived.

After all, the second prince finally had time to enter the palace, so he must have lunch with his mother before leaving.

Zhou Qiongyue heard the doorman report back, "The Second Prince has arrived."

She didn't change her posture while reading a book on the couch. It was hot at noon and she didn't want to go out to the front yard.

Zhou Qiongyue thought that her second cousin was probably not coming for her, so she simply ordered someone to take the second prince to the fifth prince's courtyard.

If there is anything, the two brothers can just have a good chat.

As soon as the second prince entered the fifth prince's courtyard, he saw his younger brother, whom he had not seen for several days, and his fifth cousin from his eldest uncle's family waiting in the corridor.

“Second brother!”

"Second cousin!"

When the Fifth Prince and Zhou Zhiquan saw the person, they immediately went to greet him happily.

No matter how angry the Second Prince was, it disappeared when he saw his brother's positive attitude. Besides, with his fifth cousin around, he felt embarrassed to get angry.

The Fifth Prince: Second brother, guess why I rushed to the next yard to call my fifth cousin as soon as I heard that you were coming.

He could only smile at the two of them and went into the house first. As the second prince entered the house, he felt a chill in his face and was impressed by his cousin's generosity.

Although he now knew that molten stone could be used to make ice, molten stone was not cheap. Anyway, a prince like him who had no money could not make it with all his strength.

The second prince looked around calmly and saw that the decorations were filled with the atmosphere that his younger brother liked. He knew that his younger brother was very free and happy staying with his cousin.

The second prince only looked at it for a moment, then sat down in the main seat.

The fifth prince quickly stepped forward to fawn on her. "Second brother, how did you find time to come to my cousin's place? Did you miss me?"

Zhou Zhiquan quietly found a seat downstairs, away from the two brothers, and sat down. He was afraid that any disturbance between the two brothers would affect him. He just wanted to quietly play a role in the background.

The Second Prince did not respond to his brother's words. Instead, he picked up the tea beside him and took a sip slowly before directly ordering, "Pack your things and come back to my place later."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince instantly lost all desire to please his second brother. He calmly sat down next to the Second Prince and also picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Seeing that the Fifth Prince didn't move, the Second Prince placed his teacup on the tea table beside him. "Why aren't you moving? Do you want me, your second brother, to help you clean up?"

The fifth prince unconsciously played with the empty teacup in his hand, "I'm not going!"

The Second Prince looked at his brother in front of him. He was not an unreasonable person, so he softened his tone and asked, "Why?"

Zhou Zhiquan was afraid of hearing something he shouldn't hear, so he quickly stood up and said sincerely, "Second cousin, fifth cousin, I remembered that I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher this morning. I'm sorry for being so rude while you two are chatting."

After Zhou Zhiquan finished speaking, he left immediately without waiting for the two people's consent.

The second prince looked at his brother in disbelief, "Am I that scary?"

The fifth prince nodded quickly and said, "Second brother, you came in from outside with a gloomy face and started drinking tea as soon as you came in. If I didn't know you well, I would think you were angry."

The Second Prince felt wronged and could not help but defend himself, "Look at the time and how hot it is outside. It's ridiculous that anyone would come back from such a hot day full of energy and passion."

"Thank you, second brother, for thinking of me. I am absolutely lucky to have a brother like you. Which brother can be as lucky as me!" The fifth prince obviously understood the second prince, and he only praised him in a flattering manner.

This younger brother wanted to move out of the palace, and the first thing he wanted to do was not to live in his house. The Second Prince was just feeling uncomfortable, and his words were inevitably sarcastic:

"No matter how good I am, some people still don't appreciate it. They only like their cousin and don't like me, their poor brother."

"Second brother, you should speak reasonably." The fifth prince really felt that he was a little wronged.

The Second Prince stared at the Fifth Prince without blinking. "Come, tell me, you left the palace and are living in your cousin's house instead of your brother's. Aren't you saying that I, Second Brother, am not treating you well? What's your reasoning?"

The Second Prince had calmed down, but when he mentioned the Fifth Prince's terrible deeds, his anger flared up again. His voice grew louder and louder.

The fifth prince sighed helplessly, "Second brother, is it possible that there is someone in your house that I dislike?"

The Second Prince simply thought that his younger brother disliked his concubine because of his cousin, so he could only sigh helplessly: "You don't like my concubine, but it doesn't affect you in any way. You live in the front yard and she lives in the back yard, so what does it matter?"

The Fifth Prince felt that his second brother really cared too little about the affairs of his mansion, and could only explain: "But she would go to the front yard to disgust me! She also brought me soup and said some ambiguous words. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat your true love.

It would be bad if it affects our brotherhood.”

The Second Prince's anger was on the verge of exploding, but the angrier he got, the brighter his smile became. "When?"

"The last time I stayed at your house, your true love ran to the front yard for no reason. Oh my god, if the news of my romantic conversation with your true love gets out one day, I'm worried that you, my second brother, will fight me to the death.

You should let me live with my cousin! My cousin never comes to the front yard, and when my cousin's husband comes back, he goes back to the back yard to accompany my cousin. The front yard is my and my fifth cousin's territory, how comfortable it is!

The Fifth Prince's tongue is truly poisonous.

After hearing this, the Second Prince could only slap his annoying brother on the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The second prince thought that he was not the kind of person who would turn against his only brother over a woman.

The fifth prince just shrugged helplessly, indicating that he would not argue with his second brother.

Since the Second Prince already knew the reason, he did not force his brother to go back with him. "In that case, you can stay with your cousin for a while! I will come to pick you up after a while."

The Fifth Prince saw that his second brother wanted to leave again after finishing his business. He looked at the sun outside and pushed his second brother into the inner room. "Second brother, take a nap here with me before you go back to work! It's very hot outside!"
