Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 362

362 Change your attitude

Xiaoming looked at himself in the mirror after trying out the wedding dress in the morning. A smile formed on his lips, and he thanked the royal tailor for making it so perfect. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Sun Fuguo complimented Xiaoming and informed him that Liu Jin Yu was looking beautiful too in the wedding outfit.

“Really?” Xiaoming asked Sun Fuguo to describe about her, but he was unable to.

“Leave it,” Xiaoming said, and then asked them to wait outside. After he changed into the other outfit, he came to the main chamber. He handed his wedding outfit to Sun Fuguo and asked him to keep it safe.

“Your Highness, the Sixth Prince was here earlier,” Sun Fuguo informed Xiaoming as he took the wedding outfit from him.

“Did he leave?” Xiaoming asked.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness,” Sun Fuguo replied, and lowered his head.

“Hmm. I will return later in the afternoon,” Xiaoming said, and left to meet Lóng Wei. It was a rare occasion that Lóng Wei would come to see him.

As he reached the manor, he found it was quiet. He could hear the faint voices from somewhere in the manor, but he was unable to understand from where they were coming. He looked around as he continued to walk in the courtyard until he stopped.

.....

He saw Li Hua in the corridor with a maidservant. She was smiling along with the maidservant. However, when she saw Xiaoming, her steps came to a halt. She bowed at him and then both walked to each other. Xiaoming ascended the stairs and asked her about Lóng Wei.

“His Highness has gone out earlier to meet the Crown Prince,” Li Hua replied. “Was he not there?” She inquired in confusion.

“Brother Lóng Wei had come, but I was busy at work, so I could not meet him. By the time, I got free, Brother Lóng Wei had already left,” Xiaoming informed her. He told her that he would leave and was turning to leave when he stopped to say something.

He looked at her and thanked her for teaching Jin Yu the art of brewing tea.

“Please do not embarrass me with this,” Li Hua said and lowered her eyes. “It was my pleasure that I could help the future Crown Princess,” she affirmed with a polite tone before lifting her head.

Xiaoming smiled to hear those words. He wanted to praise her, but he didn’t want her to get any wrong ideas. Moreover, the maidservant was around them, so it was not wise to say anything good to Li Hua. He took his leave while Li Hua pondered over where Lóng Wei could go.

In the barracks, Lóng Wei’s presence wasn’t welcomed. The high-ranking soldiers glared in his direction, but Lóng Wei wasn’t bothered by it. He wanted to see Hei Chengxi and tell him that he would meet him soon.

“Lóng Wei!” 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Qiu Mu called out his name, and he stopped. He turned to his right and tilted his head to look at Qiu Mu, who had approached him.

“Why are you here?” Qiu Mu dropped honorifics.

“Do I have to get the permission of the Second Prince to come here?” He, instead of answering him, questioned him.

Qiu Mu’s jaw clenched. “Can’t you just answer simply? Why do you have to twist every word?” He got irked with Lóng Wei.

“Why does my words bother you so much?” Lóng Wei still not stopped from annoying Qiu Mu. He also didn’t talk to Qiu Mu with respect.

“Lóng Wei, let’s not argue on this pleasant morning,” Qiu Mu told him. “You are forgetting that in front of a General, how you must behave. This territory is mine, not yours, so don’t flap your wings here.” Qiu Mu had enough of Lóng Wei’s nonsense.

“General Mu, shall I throw the Prince out?”

A high-ranking soldier said as he walked to them. Lóng Wei’s facial expression turned into a grim one, and he gazed at that soldier.

“Mo Shin, that’s not needed,” Qiu Mu stated, and asked Lóng Wei to leave.

“I won’t leave,” Lóng Wei said while glaring into the eyes of Mo Shin, and then, Qiu Mu. He turned to go ahead when Mo Shin stopped him by extending his hand out, which had a sword in it.

“Prince Lóng Wei, the rules aren’t broken here. Please leave silently before I have to throw you out forcefully,” Mo Shin stated as he scrunched his brows.

Lóng Wei chuckled and took a step towards him. “Try me,” he challenged Mo Shin.

Mo Shin grabbed the collar of Lóng Wei. He looked down at his hand and then gazed into his eyes. “You are either too brave to do this or you do not love your life,” Lóng Wei stated. They continued to glare at each other when Qiu Mu instructed Mo Shin to not behave that way with a Prince.

Mo Shin took a step back after releasing his grip on Lóng Wei’s collar.

“I won’t forget this,” Lóng Wei told Mo Shin when Hei Chengxi came there and asked them what was happening.

“Nothing, General Hei,” Mo Shin said. “The Prince was misbehaving with the Second General,” he affirmed.

Hei Chengxi glanced at Lóng Wei and then at Qiu Mu. “Here, this is His Majesty’s order. Gather the high military officials in the hall.” Hei Chengxi forwarded the scroll to Qiu Mu, who took it and bowed.

Hei Chengxi asked Lóng Wei to follow him, and they both left.

As they reached a private room, Hei Chengxi asked Lóng Wei why he was in the barracks.

“To see General Hei,” Lóng Wei replied.

“Have you finally made your mind?” Hei Chengxi asked him.

“Why did you tell Li Hua everything? You know it well that it could be risky for her,” Lóng Wei stated.

“If I hadn’t talked with your wife, then you would not have been here,” Hei Chengxi stated.

Lóng Wei didn’t deny his statement and told him that he would meet him after the two days. “I won’t entertain any questions on this,” Lóng Wei said, and turned to go away.

“Lóng Wei, change your attitude. That will be better for you,” Hei Chengxi advised him. Lóng Wei didn’t say anything and walked away.
