Fu Qing turned around, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and came forward to explain, "We have a guest, so I'll entertain her first. Are you leaving, Yue-mei?"
When he turned to Heyue, Fu Qing reverted to his previous shyness, completely losing his earlier seriousness.
He Yue blinked. So Fu Qing had that side to him. It was much more pleasing to the eye than his previous appearance.
Nodding, He Yue subconsciously glanced at the person behind him, only to see the young man in the sapphire blue jacket standing there dumbfounded, staring straight at her with his fan pointing at her, unable to utter a word for a long time.
He Yue looked him up and down with curious eyes, but had no interest in the silly-looking boy. She pursed her lips and said to Fu Qing with a smile, "Second Brother Fu, I'm going back."
Fu Qing nodded, his face flushed, and glanced at her reluctantly, his voice barely audible: "Take care, Heyue sister."
He Yue raised an eyebrow, secretly amused, but said aloud, "I'll come see Sister Fucha another day." Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, she added, "And Second Brother Fu."
Those dim eyes instantly lit up. Fu Qing nodded with a silly smile. He Yue thought this kid was incredibly cute, especially funny.
She waved with a smile and was about to leave when the boy who had been staring at her intently suddenly stretched out his arm to block her way. He opened his mouth, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter, "You, what's your name?" As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned bright red, but his gaze remained fixed on her.
The other boy finally looked away, and seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but rub his forehead and call out "Tenth Brother" in a reprimanding tone.
The boy called Tenth Brother pointed at He Yue and excitedly shouted to the boy, "Ninth Brother, she, she is, that thing..."
He Yue sighed, "Why are they all stuttering? I'm not that popular yet, am I?"
The boy took a few steps forward and pulled him over, almost unwilling to admit that he knew this infatuated person.
The boy, called the Tenth Prince, was still unwilling to give up. He looked at Heyue longingly, wanting to say something, but the boy dragged him into the Fucha Mansion.
Fu Qing glanced at He Yue, then at the two boys who had walked away, frowned in confusion, bid farewell to He Yue, and hurriedly followed them.
Fucha Yuxiu looked puzzled and asked cautiously, "Seventh Sister, do you know them?"
"I don't know him." He Yue definitely had never seen this person before. If she had seen someone so foolish, she would definitely remember him. However, judging from Fu Qing's respectful manner towards the two of them, he was probably not a young master from an ordinary family.
Thinking of the words "Tenth Prince" and "Ninth Brother" just now, He Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that these two people in front of her were actually the famous Ninth Prince and Tenth Prince? What a coincidence! How could she run into such people just by going out?
She tilted her head, as if thinking of something amusing, and chuckled softly, her eyes crinkling.
"What are you laughing at?" Fucha Yuxiu asked, bewildered.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Heyue quickly waved her hand. She couldn't very well say that she was thinking that all the princes of the Qing Dynasty were so foolish, the thirteenth prince was, and the tenth prince was too.
"These two are my second brother's friends. They often come to visit him. They're a bit unconventional, so please don't mind them." Fucha Yuxiu didn't suspect anything. Thinking about what had just happened, she felt extremely embarrassed. Her second brother's friend was really too rude.
Judging from Fucha Yuxiu's expression, she didn't seem to recognize the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince. That makes sense, since she's a girl and doesn't have much contact with these boys, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask about their identities.
Since that's the case, Heyue won't tell her on her own initiative, lest she feel uncomfortable.
"I don't mind, I don't mind at all." He Yue shook her head. How could she possibly care about such a small matter?
The two agreed to meet again next time, and Heyue then got into the carriage and went back.
Meanwhile, the Tenth Prince was dragged into the Fucha Mansion by the Ninth Prince, and he angrily shook off the Ninth Prince's hand, saying, "Ninth Brother, what are you doing?"
The Ninth Prince chuckled and smacked him hard on the forehead with his folding fan, exclaiming with exasperation, "Is it proper for you to stare at a girl like that?"
"I...I..." The Tenth Prince stammered, his face turning red again as he rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed.
"What do you mean, 'you'?" The Ninth Prince glared at him fiercely, his tone mocking, "You've only met once, and you've already hit it off?"
The Tenth Prince's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Ninth Brother, you saw it the other day too. This girl actually dared to hit the Thirteenth Brother, and she did it so swiftly. It's unbelievable. I've never seen such a fiery girl."
The Ninth Prince seemed to recall the scene from that day, and shuddered, but he was also somewhat gloating: "It's rare to see the Thirteenth Brother so embarrassed for the first time. This girl has some skills, but you don't need to stare at her like that. She's a little firecracker. Aren't you afraid that she'll beat you up again in a fit of anger and say that you harassed her?"
The Tenth Prince touched his forehead and blinked. "Ah? That's true, but she didn't hit me just now." Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled foolishly.
"You idiot!" The Ninth Prince laughed in exasperation.
"It's quite a coincidence to meet her here today. It seems she's very familiar with the princess of the Fucha family, and also with that boy Fu Qing. I guess I'll have to ask him about it." The Tenth Prince chuckled, his whole body radiating pleasure.
"Let me tell you, don't mess with her. I don't want to be the one collecting your corpse one day." The Ninth Prince warned with a sneer, "Besides, she's just a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet. Even if she's a bit spicy and ruthless, she's not that attractive."
“Ninth Brother, you don’t know, although she’s young, the power she unleashes is considerable, unlike any other woman.” The Tenth Prince was unconvinced by what the Ninth Prince said, still showing great interest.
That day, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince invited the Thirteenth Prince for drinks. After a few drinks, they got carried away and made a bet, urging the Thirteenth Prince to flirt with a young girl. They never expected that the girl would be a princess from the Marhan family. However, they still managed to watch a good show.
The two men were quietly waiting for the Thirteenth Prince to return at the restaurant. Now that they had caught their thirteenth brother in a compromising situation, it would be a source of great amusement. However, when their men returned and reported that the Thirteenth Prince had been beaten, the two men were quite surprised. Who would dare to beat the Emperor's son? Did they have some kind of audacity? Nevertheless, upon hearing the news, the two men couldn't help but feel excited and curious, so they went over to watch the spectacle.
At first glance, the two were stunned by the scene before them. Was that the person with the pig-like head being beaten up really the thirteenth brother? This was too cruel! Then, when they saw the person who was pinning the thirteenth brother to the ground and beating him so badly, the two swallowed hard. It's true that appearances can be deceiving. How could such a small girl beat the thirteenth brother up like that?
Driven by their schadenfreude, neither of them stepped forward to help. They watched the whole spectacle unfold, and the thirteenth brother suffered a great loss this time. He would certainly be punished when he got back.
