Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

43. Kiss

Translator: Antonia

In view Yuxing Tianrui didn’t say anything, Du Chuxuan asked quickly, “What’s going on? Why are you in such a hurry?”

He said in a reprimanding tone but it also covered up his rude behavior.

Yuxing Tianrui didn’t mind these trifles, helped himself with a cup of tea and had it leisurely, obviously not caring about what was going to happen next.

“The Turks are here!” Dongxiang almost shouted it out loud. He was so anxious because Shan Zhongli had called all the generals to the main tent for a meeting, so now the generals were totally unprepared.

He was confused by this son of Duke Ningyuan. Obviously the man knew His Highness was right here in Her Highness’s tent and inviting over His Highness would be the best way to steady the army and get the morale up!

However, Yuxing Tianrui seemed to have nothing to do with all these, sitting here enjoying his tea. It could really be called ‘The emperor isn’t anxious but his eunuch is’!

Du Chuxuan would burst out laughing if he knew what was in Dongxiang’s mind. He glanced sideways at Yuxing Tianrui, who was peacefully having tea, seemingly aloof from everything. Instantly, he understood that obviously Yuxing Tianrui had predicted this attack in advance.

“Alright. It’s okay they’re here. We met with them before. Probably they heard about the son of Duke Ningyuan and come to visit him and make a friend.” His words were truly annoying, and if heard by Shan Zhongli, they would piss him off to death.

Yuxing Tianrui couldn’t help tittering and some tea overflowed his lips. Du Chuxuan spotted it, and somehow, as if his body was suddenly out of control, stretched his neck long to lean over.

Yuxing Tianrui was taken aback by his sudden movement and quickly withdrew. However, Du Chuxuan was faster, cupping his head and pulling over, and quickly pressed a kiss on his lips!

He—the Crown Prince of Shenglan—the noblest person in this country second only to the emperor—should be kissed by his Princess in public!

Yuxing Tianrui’s brain broke down for a moment!!!

He was calm hearing about the Turks’ attack, but at this moment, he didn’t know how to react.

Neither Aer nor Dongxiang had expected that His and Her Highness were so deep in love with each other. While the Turks were attacking, they should still have the mood! Was it because the last incident had compelled them to cherish every second together?

When Yuxing Tianrui came back to mother earth, he almost utilized all of his willpower not to slap Du Chuxuan in the face. Yet, Du Chuxuan sensed that his tsundere prince must be unhappy. Nonetheless, he had no choice, because even he himself was shocked at what he had done.

It was right that the body was the most honest to tell one’s feelings. His Highness was the one to blame for being too cute.

When Shan Zhongli got the news, he was totally dumbfounded. He knew that the Turks would come at any time but never expected Ashina Yi to be so quick in taking actions.

It was said that Ashina Yi was a talent in deploying forces. However, Shan Zhongli supposed, he couldn’t be too good since he had lost many times to Yuxing Tianrui. Shan Zhongli took a glance around the meeting room. Except for General Leng, no others knew that the crown prince was already back. After his inspiring speech, he believed most people believed him.

To this point, as long as he displayed a little of his commanding skills on the battlefield, he was convinced that the entire barracks would be his.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling a little complacent. Ashina Yi came in the exactly right time.

“Generals!” He raised the tiger token and shouted in the middle. On hearing this, everyone kneeled down, which gave Shan Zhongli a full satisfaction of domineering power.

“The Turks have marched over. Now it’s time to show them the strength of our Shenglan men. Now, let’s march and fight against the enemies!” When he finished, everyone replied together.

As he walked out of the tent, General Leng looked worried. He believed Shan Zhongli’s words, but after the event of Yang Guang, he truly feared that another man like that would appear.

Besides, the event was enough for Yuxing Tianrui to demote him, yet the Crown Prince chose to give him another chance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent out his own subordinates searching for them for so long.

Pondering, he summoned over a trusted follower and asked him to pick up a living hare from his tent, “Just tell them the hare is for Her Highness and they will let you in. Then, tell everything to His Highness.”

Watching the follower leaving, General Leng breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t a fool and, having guarded on the borders for so many years, could easily tell the purpose of the son of Duke Ningyuan.

Since things were so obvious, if he took the wrong side again, he could do nothing to prove his innocence.

Du Chuxuan was surprised at the hare. It was alive and appetizingly fat.

The hare seemed to be aware of the omen, jumped towards Yuxing Tianrui and lithely landed in his arms, playing cute to him.

For the first time, Yuxing Tianrui was so close to animals. Looking down at this cute little thing, he looked to Du Chuxuan, “It’s cute. Let’s keep it as a pet.”

The words saddened Du Chuxuan so much as if someone killed his father. However, he had just annoyed Yuxing Tianrui by kissing him and knew he had to agree with whatever Yuxing Tianrui asked.

Just for these days. Later when no one protected you, let’s see where you could run!

Yuxing Tianrui certainly didn’t know Du Chuxuan’s plan. He softly asked the soldier who brought over the hare and news, “Are you a follower of General Leng?”

The soldier was surprised to see His Highness in the barracks. Didn’t they say that His and Her Highness both sacrificed in war? Nonetheless, he wasn’t that stupid to raise this question to Yuxing Tianrui and instantly bowed down to reply, “Yes, I’m a follower of General Leng.”

Yuxing Tianrui nodded with a smile, “Go back and tell General Leng that I appreciate what he did.”

After the soldier left, Yuxing Tianrui was in a surprisingly good mood. Du Chuxuan didn’t understand why, “Didn’t you already know it?” General Leng’s words were nothing more than the icing on the cake. Why be so happy?!
