Chapter 1052: Chapter 526: So What If I’m Stronger and Have a Bit of a Temper?

Gu Pengyou spoke softly.

"I’ll leave it to you then."

...

As the sun set.

Chen Xuan rode the carriage from the Ritual Department to Qin Hong’s residence.

Inside the carriage, he looked at the exquisite box placed beside him.

This was prepared by Gu Pengyou for him, a set of rare spirit jade-carved ornaments since, after all, it was for Lin Fei, ordinary ones wouldn’t be suitable.

This set certainly cost quite a bit.

Yet, he didn’t mind; paying respect to elders is a duty.

The only thing that displeased him was whether this arrangement was by Lin Fei or by Qin Hong?

If it’s Qin Hong, the feeling is different.

But for Qin Ying’s sake, he would try to do his best.

"Da da da..."

The sound of the carriage wheels continued incessantly, and Chen Xuan stopped pondering, slowly closing his eyes.

About more than half an hour passed.

The carriage stopped.

"My lord, we’ve arrived at the Fourth Prince’s Mansion."

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan responded lightly, then picked up the box beside him and stepped off the carriage.

Fourth Prince’s Mansion!

Chen Xuan looked up; it was quite impressive, with two guards at the entrance, not as many as at his Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

"Greetings to Lord Xuan King!"

The two guards immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Chen Xuan.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan was not surprised by their behavior; if Qin Hong couldn’t manage this, it’d be disgraceful.

"His Highness has instructed, Lord Xuan King, please!"

Then one of the guards came over and took the box from him.

"Thank you!"

"Not at all, not at all, it’s what I should do."

The guard was visibly flattered, surprised that Lord Xuan King thanked him.

"Lead the way!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The guard nodded repeatedly.

The two entered the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, and Qin Hong, upon receiving the news, quickly came out, "Brother Xuan, long time no see."

He cupped his hands with a broad smile and deliberately called him Brother Xuan.

Chen Xuan chuckled internally, long time no see? It hasn’t been long!

Yet, for the sake of decorum, he played along, "Long time no see."

"Please!"

Qin Hong extended a hand, letting him go first.

This scene was startling for the guard holding the box, witnessing the mighty Prince of Great Yu letting a lord precede.

Chen Xuan stopped his gaze on Qin Hong for a moment, "Together!"

One must be mindful when others are around.

"Alright!"

The two walked side by side into the main hall.

Once seated, a maid immediately served the tea.

Qin Hong laughed, "It’s still early, Mother likely needs more time. Brother Xuan, have a cup of tea and wait for a bit."

"I’m the younger here, waiting for Lin Fei is proper."

Chen Xuan picked up the blue-and-white teacup, took just a sip, then put it down.

It wasn’t that the tea was bad, but the person wasn’t right, and the atmosphere was off, so he had little interest.

"Why? I remember you enjoy tea. Is this tea not to your liking?"

Qin Hong asked.

This tea was specially prepared for him.

"Not at all. By the way, is there any news on Qin Ying lately?"

Chen Xuan directly changed the topic.

Qin Hong felt a bit displeased but suppressed it, maintaining a smile, "Imperial Sister has been in Qin Emperor Sacred Land for many years, already reaching Double Five limits; her flesh is entirely jade-boned, she might come out sooner."

"Really?"

Chen Xuan’s face lit up with joy, after waiting for so many years, finally, she’s coming out.

"Yes, indeed, you two haven’t seen each other for many years, you must be a bit anxious!"

Qin Hong teased.

"You’re right, been anxious for some time now, wonder how she is?"
