Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Junjun, why are you behaving so distantly with me? Regardless of what happens, I will always be your Third Brother,” the Third Prince said gently. “Don’t be like your brother. Why are you being so polite?”
“But… ”
“Alright. You guys arrived at the Imperial City so early. I’m sure you rushed as much as you could on your way here and didn’t even have time to have a good meal. Let’s not talk about the other stuff first. Cousin, tell the waiters to start serving up the food.” Third Prince cut Xie Jun off, then looked toward Qiao Heting.
Xie Jun looked at Xie Heng as if asking for help.
“Just listen to what his highness said. I thought you liked him a lot. You were talking about how much you missed him before you came here. Why are you being so shy now when he’s right in front of you?” Xie Heng laughed and smiled.
Xie Jun said, “But I didn’t know that he was a royal back then.”
What if he accidentally offended him? He would be affecting his brother’s career!
Xie Jun wasn’t very old, yet he worried about many things. He worried about when Zhao Chuchu would give birth to a nephew for him, and he also worried about Xie Heng’s career.
“Then just treat it as if you never knew about this. There is no one else here, just behave like you would previously.” Third Prince couldn’t help but laugh as well. “Come to think of it, my surname is Xie as well. My name is Xie Yan. We have the same ancestor.”
Even Zhao Chuchu didn’t know the Third Prince’s name until now, let alone Xie Jun.
The Third Prince had little sense of presence compared to the other heirs to the throne because of his condition.
Zhao Chuchu had never tried to inquire about him. All she knew was that the royal family’s surname was Xie.
She previously thought that Xie Heng was a member of the royal family. But Xie Heng explained to her that his surname had nothing to do with the royal family.
“Do I still call you Third Brother in the future?” Xie Jun asked cautiously.
Xie Yan smiled and replied, “Yes, keep calling me Third Brother.”
Upon hearing that, Xie Jun finally felt a little more at ease.
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but smile. His name was Junyan as well. It was just that the order was reversed. What a massive coincidence.
The atmosphere was a lot more harmonious after that. Xie Jun ate to his heart’s content without holding back at all.
On the other hand, Xie Yan didn’t really eat at all. All he did was help pick out the bones from the fish and peel the shells from the prawns and crabs so Xie Jun could easily eat them. Xie Heng couldn’t help but tell Xie Yan not to pamper Xie Jun and let him eat on his own.
Only then did Xie Yan restrain himself and let Xie Jun eat on his own.
After the meal, both Zhao Chuchu and Xie Jun had their bellies bulging from the food.
Xie Yan still had some work to deal with, so he returned to his palace first while Qiao Heting stayed to accompany them.
Xie Heng didn’t stay for very long, either. After a while, he went home, saying that he needed to revise
Zhao Chuc.hu asked Xie Heng after reaching home, “Da Lang, why did Third Prince decide to see Junjun now? There are quite a lot of people following him in the dark. I think they are the emperor’s men. So why is he doing this?”
“He wants the emperor to know about Junjun’s existence.”
“Really?”
“Those are the emperor’s personal guards. They will report every little detail about our meeting to the emperor.”
“Who does Junjun resemble?”
The Third Prince and Xie Jun didn’t really look alike.
“He looks more like his mother. Third Prince looks more like the emperor.” Zhao Chuchu understood.
No wonder Xie Jun was in such a hurry to go to the imperial city. He wanted to prepare for Xie Jun to return to his real family.
“Are you worried?” Xie Heng asked.
Zhao Chuchu shook her head and said) “Nope. With you guys here, I don’t think there is anything left for me to worry about. All I need to do is to protect you and Junjun.”
Xie Heng laughed and said, “I’m not that weak.”
“But if someone tries to poison you, you’ll still need me,” Zhao Chuchu blinked and said.
“That’s true. I guess I was being a little full of myself.”
Zhao Chuchu laughed.
But Xie Jun was an heir to the throne. So the process of returning to his original family would definitely not be fast or easy.
Their stay in the Imperial City was very peaceful for the rest of the days before the New Year. They didn’t have any trouble or conflicts with anyone..
