Chapter 1254 - Your Highness, What a Coincidence!

Everyone followed suit and mocked him, making his face so red that it could compare to a monkey’s butt.

Fatty Wu Xiao’en was unable to stand by and watch anymore. He couldn’t resist brandishing his arms while scolding, “You guys need not jabber about whether something will happen to the Zheng Estate. I’m telling you all, Sixth Young Sir is my bro. No matter what, you people shouldn’t jeer at people from the Zheng Estate on Sixth Young Sir’s account.”

When everyone heard his words, they recalled that young genius Sixth Zheng from the Zheng Family, and they involuntarily felt put out, instantly shutting their mouths.

The Vassal Prince of An’nan didn’t comment on this situation. Instead, he turned to a slim and graceful young girl standing there among the other females and invited with a smile, “Commandery Princess, after you.”

Yi’an nodded and took slow, light steps toward the mountain with elegance and poise.

The Vassal Prince of An’nan’s eyes flickered, and he immediately walked next to her. He said with a smile, “If Commandery Princess feels tired, I can order people to carry you up with a sedan chair.”

Commandery Princess Yi’an replied softly, “Many thanks for the vassal prince’s concern. If we do not hike up the mountain and use sedan chairs for everything, then would going on a spring outing not lose its meaning?”

“Commandery Princess’s words are wise.” The Vassal Prince of An’nan laughed out loud as he agreed with a nod, “Then let us walk up. It is said that if we ascend the peak before noon, we can see the extraordinary sight of Fu Mountain beneath the red sun.”

“It is indeed so.” Yi’an remarked with an extremely faint smile, “The scenery on Fu Mountain has always been wonderful. If the vassal prince finds time in your leisure, there is no harm in coming here more often.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two walked in the lead while chatting and smiling.

The seven to eight damsels squeezed behind them in disorder as they exchanged glances with each other in indignation.

“Look at how pleased with herself she is. If the queen dowager had not taken her in, how would she have her current glory? She would just be groveling pitifully inside the declining Marquis of Su’an’s Estate.”

One noble lady couldn’t stand Commandery Princess Yi’an’s affected behavior and gossiped in envy.

“Oh my, my, is this not the lady of the Lu Family? The scent of jealousy is so thick that I cannot block it from hitting me in the face,” the third miss of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate, Xu Mingzhu, jeered.

“Third Sister.” Her younger sister from a concubine, Xu Mingxin, automatically tugged at Xu Mingzhu’s sleeve when she saw her provoking the miss of the Lu Family and stirring up trouble again.

However, Xu Mingzhu brusquely flung away her fourth sister’s hand. “Are my words not correct?”

You’ve got to be joking, that was Commandery Princess Yi’an, the favorite of the queen dowager. How could she not cozy up to her?

It was fine if these fools offended Commandery Princess Yi’an themselves, but don’t let the commandery princess think that she, Xu Mingzhu, was also talking badly behind her back.

Miss Lu glared at Xu Mingzhu and then turned her face aside, ignoring her.

The other ladies surrounded a woman who was wearing a face veil and arching her head, inquiring fawningly, “Fengyan, did you not say that the second young sir would be coming today?”

“Something came up for Second Cousin,” Yang Fengyan answered complacently.

However, when she looked at those women out of the corner of her eye, her cold gaze involuntarily contained a hint of scorn.

How could these fools deserve to have a crush on Second Cousin!

The party walked for more than an hour.

“Ah!” Suddenly, Commandery Princess Yi’an gasped, which drew everyone’s attention.

They saw a large group of young men and women sitting in a circle on a hill at the peak. They also directed their gazes over upon seeing the newcomers.

Your Highness, what a coincidence!
