Chapter 969: Chapter 970: This Battle is Too Childish

An Jing immediately laughed and said, ”Seventh Prince, you speak amiss. One’s appearance is a gift from their parents. Vice General Meng wears a mask solely to express his deepest respect for the Crown Prince.”

In other words, it wasn’t because he was too ugly to show his face and needed to wear a mask to hide it.

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”Seventh Prince, have you ever considered how your Third Imperial Brother would feel?”

Dongfang Tianyang was first taken aback, then burst into an extravagant laugh and said, ”Vice General Meng, correct? I misspoke, this prince owes you an apology. I will punish myself with three drinks and hope Vice General Meng will not take it to heart. It was an unintentional mistake.”

Meng Zhuqing also bowed with fists clenched, ”I dare not accept such words.”

Even though Meng Zhuqing said so, Dongfang Tianyang still very decisively punished himself with three drinks.

Su Chengyu originally felt that Xiyun had lost face and was inwardly annoyed, but then he saw his Imperial Sister-in-law and brother turn the tables, making Dongfang Tianyang apologize and regaining their lost face; he felt quite proud.

A prince apologizing to a minor Deputy General from their country, that certainly brought honor to their face.

It was only then that Su Chengyu smiled again.

An Jing did not understand the meaning of Xiao Changyi’s earlier words, so she leaned closer and asked him in a lowered voice, ”My Lord, what did you mean by your words just now? What about his Third Imperial Brother?”

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”I once crossed swords with his Third Imperial Brother on the battlefield, and his Third Imperial Brother is unspeakably ugly.”

If it weren’t for the occasion restraining her, or if her self-control wasn’t strong enough, An Jing would truly have burst into laughter.

No wonder Dongfang Tianyang was so quick to apologize.

After Dongfang Tianyang punished himself with three drinks, he looked at Xiao Changyi and said with a laugh, ”Although the Third Prince was once defeated by Prince Yi, he has told Tianyang that he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly. The Third Prince also asked Tianyang to convey to Prince Yi that if there is a chance to meet Prince Yi again, he hopes Prince Yi will have another hearty fight with him.”

”Certainly,” Xiao Changyi said indifferently, though he had no intention of fighting.

At that time, it was a battle between two nations, and it was only after he beat that Third Prince that Dongqing withdrew their troops.

Seeing Dongfang Tianyang speaking with Su Chengyu, An Jing leaned closer again and asked Xiao Changyi in a low voice, ”Is that Third Prince skilled in Martial Arts?”

”Not as skilled as I am,” he paused. ”He is a Martial Arts fanatic.”

”Have you fought with him many times? How do you know he is a Martial Arts fanatic?”

”Just once,” Xiao Changyi replied. ”He said that as long as I could defeat him, he would withdraw his troops. And he kept his word.”

”No way...” That Third Prince’s way of fighting was rather childish.

”I’ve heard,” Xiao Changyi continued, ”that after he withdrew his troops, he tried to persuade other countries not to attack Xiyun, fearing that my life might be lost, and he wouldn’t have the chance to spar with me anymore.”

”...Okay, truly a Martial Arts fanatic.”

Xiao Changyi went on, ”However, not only did other countries not heed his pleas, but upon his return home, he was also punished by his imperial father, the Emperor of Dongqing, to reflect in seclusion for a year.”

An Jing almost wanted to burst out laughing and slam the table.

It was just too funny.

However, although that Third Prince was a Martial Arts fanatic and stubborn, through her husband’s words, she thought that Third Prince seemed quite interesting.

Suddenly, she kind of wanted to meet that Third Prince.

As soon as the banquet was over, An Jing and Xiao Changyi planned to return to Prince Yi’s Mansion. Seeing Tobanya without a guard in attendance, An Jing had Meng Zhuqing escort Tobanya back to King Sheng’s mansion.

Having known Meng Zhuqing for so long, and with Meng Zhuqing being so straightforward about everything with her and her husband, she could truly tell how much Meng Zhuqing missed Tobanya.
