2371 Shooing Away
Duan Yue sat down while holding the little fellow. He examined her small paws that had medicine applied to them.
A voice suddenly rang out beside him. “Brother Ah-Yue, what is this? An ermine! You hunted it right? It looks quite adorable. Can I touch it!”
This series of comments made Duan Yue wrinkle his brow. He brusquely raised his hand to block Xiangchang’s outstretched hand and said, “Why haven’t you left yet.”
Commandery Princess’s eyes immediately reddened aggrievedly. Her lips quavered, and she sniffled pitifully, “Brother Ah-Yue, I…”
Duan Yue felt the hairs on his body standing on end.
He didn’t realize that the ball of fur in his arms was also bristling.
It was mainly that our dear Qiao Mu felt that this woman was purposely trying to sound tender and delicate when her voice was on the husky side. This… made her fur stand on end.
Duan Yue raised his head and finally looked straight at the Commandery Princess Xiangchang. The latter was inwardly delighted and put on a tender expression, looking back at him with watery eyes.
Our dear Qiao Mu’s small body shivered. She could even feel Duan Yue also shivering with her…
Commandery Princess naturally did not notice the two’s simultaneous movements.
On the contrary, Duan Yue noticed this and glanced down at the ball of fur in amusement. “Xiangchang, this prince needs to rest.”
Was this order for guests to leave not obvious enough!?
Anyone with a bit of tact should be beating it now!
Unfortunately, Commandery Princess Xiangchang was an outlier. She was delighted to have finally found a chance to spend time privately with the Chen Prince. She naturally would not leave and acted as if she didn’t understand Duan Yue’s words.
Qiao Mu was tired out from the day’s events and raised her small paw to yawn.
Commandery Princess Xiangchang’s eyes promptly turned round as if she had seen a ghost. She pointed at Qiao Mu in Duan Yue’s arms and yelped, “I-It, Brother Ah-Yue, it actually knows how to yawn!”
Duan Yue, who had been thinking that the little fellow was extremely cute, found Commandery Princess’s husky yelp to be grating on his ears. Anger flitted across his eyes.
“Xiao’ke’zi!!” This junior eunuch would go missing whenever he needed him. When he didn’t need him though, that guy would be prattling all day long next to him. That guy was truly useless.
Xiao’ke’zi had naturally retreated when he saw the second prince and third prince enter, making space for the masters.
However, he dared not go far. When he heard Duan Yue shouting, he hastily made his way back inside the yurt.
“Your Highness.”
“Shoo away all loiterers. This prince wants to sleep!”
“Ah!” Xiao’ke’zi was flabbergasted. He peeked at Commandery Princess Xiao’ke’zi, whose expression had changed drastically.
This commandery princess had probably courted disaster and provoked His Highness!
Xiao’ke’zi braced himself and walked up to carry out his master’s order. He coughed lightly and announced, “Co-Commandery Princess, please!”
With Commandery Princess Xiangchang’s temper, she should’ve bestowed Xiao’ke’zi with a slap and shout ‘Are you blind, don’t you know who I am?’, but while Duan Yue watched coldly from the side, she dared not and could not do anything.
She could only turn and look at him sorrowfully, “Brother Ah-Yue…”
“I said call me Your Highness the Chen Prince!” This whatever commandery princess had finally ground away the last of Duan Yue’s good temper. Thus, he said bluntly, “I really am not familiar with you!
