Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 536: A Loud Slap That is Too Loud

“Ninth Younger Brother, let me introduce you both. This is His Highness, Fifth Prince of Ding Lin Country. Fifth Highness is young and very talented. He has deeply received the trust of the emperor and is known as Ding Lin Country’s ‘under one, over ten thousand’. Aside from those in Ding Lin Country, even various members of royal families and officers of other countries have come to address him respectfully as ‘His Highness’. Today, it was by a chance that is so hard to come by that the both of you got to meet, so you need to properly get to know each other,” said Fu Chengxing loudly, pretending to act all jolly with a smile.

Hearing Fu Chengxing’s words, the young man whose face had originally calmed down, darkened once again. That’s right, he was Ding Lin Country’s fifth prince, Si Nanchen, the prince who received the emperor’s greatest favor.

If no one had revealed his identity, then today’s matter would not be a big deal as he was planning on taking a step back to let things go since no one knew who he was. However, now that his identity as the fifth prince of Ding Lin Country was revealed, then letting things go was no longer acceptable. This was not just a matter of his pride, it was more about Ding Lin Country’s dignity now.

A favored fifth prince of the emperor of a sovereign country was actually suppressed by a vassal state’s ninth prince when he visited the vassal county. If this news was made known, wouldn’t Ding Lin Country’s pride and reputation be thoroughly thrown out thanks to him? Not to mention that when members of royal families and officials of other countries visited him, they had to respectfully address him as ‘Your Highness’, but now that he came to Nan Xia Country, he could not even find a place to eat? This slap was a little too loud.

One really had to say that Fu Chengxing’s words were laced with a hidden murderous intention. He had pushed Si Nanchen to the brink of the edge with no way left to retreat.

Ling Chuxi narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched from the slide and swept a glance at Fu Chengxing. She sensitively caught the look of delight that flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

“Fifth Highness, this is my ninth younger brother, Fu Chengyu. I am sure that you have heard of his famous name as he is the top prince in Nan Xia Country. He is also someone whose words carry much weight here. And these two, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were the ones who got first place in the vassal countries’ assessment competition in one fell swoop, allowing Nan Xia Country to be promoted to a Tier 1 vassal country. As a result, they are now known as the leaders of the younger generation across all countries,” continued Fu Chengxing. Seeing Si Nanchen’s expression change, Fu Chengxing felt delight in his heart and did not miss the opportunity to pour more oil onto the fire.

One was the favored fifth prince of a sovereign country and another was Nan Xia Country’s ninth prince who was the top prince here. Let’s see who would feel unashamed to give way?

Actually, Fu Chengxing had long since noticed the conflict between the two groups and was hiding by the side of the corridor to watch the good show they were putting on. If Fu Chengyu and Ding Lin Country’s fifth prince exchanged blows, it would be best if they even injured each other, then this matter would be blown up into a big deal and when it did, even if the emperor stood up to protect Fu Chengyu, the fight for the emperor’s position would no longer have anything to do with him.

No matter what, Ding Lin Country was still the sovereign country. How could someone who had beaten up the sovereign country’s prince be allowed to ascend to the position of emperor in a vassal country of that sovereign country?

Fu Chengxing had initially made such wishful calculations. It was a pity that human calculations were not as good as the calculations of heaven. He saw that a good show was just about to start, but then the shopkeeper came back to smoothen things over. Seeing that Si Nanchen had the intention to give way, Fu Chengxing decided to personally make an appearance to prevent that from happening by causing strife and sowing discord.

Ling Chuxi now knew why Fu Chengxing would appear here. None of these Nan Xia Country princes were naïve and easy to deal with. When it came to knowledge and guts, they wouldn’t make any shortlists for sure, but when it came to scheming and palace intrigues, they really had some abilities. Take a look at this, with just a slight provocation, the situation had come to such a point where the atmosphere was like a standoff where swords were drawn and bows were strung.

“It turns out to be that this group consists of Ninth Prince, His Highness, Miss Ling as well as Master Ling. I have long since heard of your great names. Today marks my first time to your noble country and have invited some friends along with me for a meal. I will be sure to invite Your Highness, Ninth Prince to enjoy a good gathering another day,” said Si Nanchen, taking on the entitled stance of a sovereign country prince before walking towards the private room.

In his mind, since the other party has already known of his identity, then, no matter what, they should be giving him a little bit of face and show him some respect. Which meant that this private room should be given to him to use today.
