"I have said it before, I will never allow anyone I do not like to set foot in my Eastern Palace. Chen, do you not understand my words, or do you intend to disobey my orders!"
Huo Chengche coldly uttered a sentence, not even bothering to glance at Chen Yuanxin.
He glanced at her with his deep eyes, and without him even giving a command, the little eunuch behind him immediately bowed and stepped forward, walking up to Chen Yuanxin. With a forced smile, he raised his hand and said, "Miss Chen, please. Don't wait for me to make a move; that would be quite unseemly."
Chen Yuanxin looked at Manfu, who had a sinister smile in front of her. She didn't recognize this eunuch because Manfu had just been chosen by Huo Chengche to serve him today.
However, Manfu was not about to mess up his first job.
Seeing that Chen Yuanxin was still thinking of saying something, he immediately moved to the side, completely blocking Chen Yuanxin's view.
“Miss Chen, there are so many people watching. It wouldn’t be good to keep pestering me like this. You said yourself that you are the eldest sister in the family. Don’t drag your younger siblings down for your own momentary pleasure. After all, your younger siblings aren’t just for talking to, are they?”
Chen Yuanxin turned pale and then red after Manfu's words. She subconsciously looked at the people around her who were pointing and whispering. Because of Huo Chengche's two short sentences, they no longer had any reservations about her.
Without the halo of being the "future crown princess," she was just an ordinary noblewoman from an official family. In this capital city teeming with nobles, what was there to be so high and mighty about her?
Her airs of a pampered young lady have long been hollow inside and are about to crumble.
Huo Chengche glanced at her coldly and ordered, "Someone, convey my decree and rebuke Duke Chang: The Chen family is not worthy to use my name, the Empress Dowager's name, or the name of my future principal wife!"
He patted the puffed-up little baby in his arms, his deep and sharp gaze pressing heavily on Chen Yuanxin.
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's order, Chen Yuanxin's face turned ashen. "Your Highness! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have abused your and the Empress Dowager's names! I beg Your Highness to have mercy and not let this matter implicate my family!"
"Using something that doesn't belong to you is stealing, and thieves are guilty and should pay the price," Huo Chengche said coldly, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Ms. Chen, from this day forward, I do not wish to see you again, much less see you by Niannian’s side. Listen to me carefully: with me here, anyone who dares to make Niannian unhappy will be made to live a more comfortable life.”
The young man's voice was clear and cold, yet imposing and deep. He wasn't just speaking to Chen Yuanxin; he glanced indifferently at the crowd thronging the bustling city.
For a moment, the bustling city fell silent, everyone stunned by the aura emanating from the young man, daring not to act rashly, only secretly trembling with fear.
This is the aura of the crown prince, shining as brightly as the sun and moon, far surpassing the glittering starlight of the nobles in the capital.
Hearing Huo Chengche's cold and sharp voice, Chen Yuanxin's face turned pale, and she staggered and collapsed to the ground.
In her eyes, Huo Chengche had always been a cold and aloof prince. She had never seen him angry, and she had no idea what kind of rage she would have to endure if she touched the person he cherished most.
Chen Yuanxin was eventually carried away by Manfu's men.
The little dumpling pulled her head out of the prince's arms, and seeing that the annoying person was gone, she immediately kicked her little legs happily, letting Huo Chengche put her down.
The boy, who was cold and aloof just a moment ago, looked down at the heartless little thing in his arms and could only feel a faint sense of helplessness. He still went along with her wishes and bent down to put her on the ground.
