"Brother, although I enjoy playing outside, I don't like just standing here doing nothing." The Fifth Prince wanted to say this, but faced with his elder brother's icy face, he didn't dare to speak.
So the three of them stood obediently outside.
Feng Changgui went inside, while Lu Qingyan was still reading: "Third brother."
"Big brother." Lu Qingyan stood up and gave a half-bow.
"Sit down, we're brothers, no need to be so polite," Feng Changgui said, sitting down next to Lu Qingyan.
"Have they always been like this?" Feng Changgui asked, frowning.
Lu Qingyan felt a wave of exasperation, but ultimately said, "The younger brothers are still young, it's normal for them to be a little playful."
"Do I have to be so distant when I talk to my elder brother?" Feng Changgui said with dissatisfaction. "Just tell me directly what's going on. Why beat around the bush?"
"Big brother," Lu Qingyan said with a bitter smile, "It's not that I'm talking to you like this on purpose. It's just that I have my own identity..." She hesitated before continuing.
Feng Changgui patted her shoulder: "Your status, what's wrong with your status? You are the son of the Imperial Concubine, a noble prince. Even though the Imperial Concubine is no longer here, that fact remains."
Now, probably no one knows about the assassination attempt by the Imperial Concubine.
The emperor was also concerned about his reputation and did not want such a thing to be spread, so apart from the people who served in the palace that night, no one else knew about this past.
Even Feng Changgui would never know the real truth, and Lu Qingyan would not tell him now.
“But brother, you should know how awkward my identity is.” Lu Qingyan was silent for a moment before speaking: “You also know where I lived and what my life was like before.”
“They don’t want to acknowledge me as their third brother, so why would they want to follow my instructions?” All that buildup was for this last sentence. After Lu Qingyan finished speaking, her big, wet eyes stared straight at Feng Changgui.
Feng Changgui lowered his head and coughed lightly: "What about the master? Does the master also not want to get involved in these matters?"
“At first, the teachers were willing to take charge, but later, whenever my fifth brother felt wronged, he would complain to Father, who would then punish the teachers. Gradually, they stopped wanting to cause trouble for my fifth brother.” Lu Qingyan sighed dramatically.
Feng Changgui frowned as well: "Fifth brother is becoming more and more lawless. He even takes the smallest things to the Emperor."
Lu Qingyan curled the corners of her lips, told Feng Changgui to settle down and read, and then took a few books and sat down in a different corner.
Feng Changgui was taken aback, and waited there for a while before leaving.
As soon as Feng Changgui left, Lu Qingyan remained unchanged, just like before. However, the three boys came running over looking displeased.
The Fifth Prince was as domineering as ever. After walking up to Lu Qingyan, he raised his foot and kicked her, cursing, "You little bastard, did you say bad things about me to my elder brother again? What kind of bewitching potion did you give him that makes him not even care about his own brother, but care about an outsider like you?"
Unlike Feng Qingqing, who hesitated and thought she would leave quietly once they had vented their anger, Lu Qingyan did not act rashly.
No one should lay a hand on her. Why should she stand here obediently and let others attack her?
