Losing Face

Helian Jing noticed Xia Chunyu watching the lady with Assistant Minister Mu with great interest. He teased, "Brother Chunyu, do you like her? Do you want me to ask which family she's from?"

Xia Chunyu threw him a cold glare. "Your brother asked me to pick a wife for you. I am checking out which family is suitable."

That sobered up Helian Jing quickly. "He's not even married himself! Why would he care about me?"

Assistant Minister Mu spotted Xia Chunyu and Helian Jing so he came up to them to say hi.

"Official Xia, Young Royal Highness," he greeted.

Xia Chunyu returned his greeting politely.

"Little Jing, congratulations," Mu Qinchu said, using Helian Jing's nickname casually.

Helian Jing rolled his eyes at him. This little rat. Even your dad called me 'Young Royal Highness'.

Assistant Minister quickly rebuked, "Don't you have any manners? Have you forgotten how to properly address our royalties?"
