Chapter 86: Fourth Brother Is Very Handsome

~7 min read 1,275 words

Seeing Feng Xuancang's action, Sui Sui hurriedly learned to clasp her hands: "Third Brother, hello, I'm Sui Sui."

Looking at the little girl's improper salute, Feng Xuancang didn't laugh, just raised his hand and lightly touched Sui Sui's head: "Sui Sui's eyes are really pretty."

Feng Xuancang was speaking the truth.

When he saw Sui Sui, the first thing he noticed was the little girl's eyes.

Sui Sui was praised, feeling a bit embarrassed, she pressed her lips and leaned toward Feng Xuanrui, her voice low but clear: "Third Brother is also handsome."

Feng Xuanrui, listening on the side, sounded a bit sour: "What about the older brother? Isn't the older brother handsome?"

Hearing the older brother ask that, Sui Sui replied urgently: "Handsome, the older brother is the most handsome!"

Saying that felt a bit insincere.

After all, whether Feng Xuancang or Feng Xuanrui is more handsome, everyone with eyes can see.

However, Sui Sui here has a brother-filter.

So, the brother is the most handsome!

As soon as she said that, Feng Xuanrui felt satisfied, slightly sucked in his stomach, and smugly raised an eyebrow at Feng Xuancang.

That expression seemed to say: "Third Brother, it's still me after all!"

Feng Xuancang also had no intention of quarreling with the Sixth Brother over this; he smiled, then waved Feng Xuanjie over.

Sui Sui also only then noticed, as if there was still another brother?

The brothers' little attendants all wore similar outfits, all in blue, with only slight differences in style.

Feng Xuanjie wore fine clothes similar to his brothers', standing in the crowd, he was naturally different.

However, he had previously always stood behind his brothers, his presence not very noticeable.

Sui Sui had initially seen him, but after talking with the Third Brother, she completely overlooked him.

At this moment, when the Third Brother spoke, Sui Sui's attention shifted over.

Upon seeing the person, Sui Sui couldn't help exclaiming: "This brother is so pretty!"

As soon as she said that, Feng Xuanjie blushed outright, having just taken a step forward, he now dared not come out and instead shrank back behind Feng Xuancang.

Looking at him like that, he seemed a bit shy?

Feng Xuancang felt somewhat helpless, lightly tugging his sleeve: "Sui Sui isn't an outsider, what are you afraid of?"

Feng Xuanjie is slender in build and has an androgynous appearance, giving a very delicate impression.

At first glance, it's hard to tell his gender.

So, Sui Sui thinks he's pretty.

Seeing this brother not daring to look at her, Sui Sui thought she had misspoken, and quietly tugged at Feng Xuanrui's sleeve, her face full of unease.

Feng Xuanrui couldn't bear to see Sui Sui upset, so he quickly explained: "It's fine, Fourth Brother is just timid and doesn't like to talk; he'll get used to it."

At this moment, Feng Xuanjie was pulled out by Feng Xuancang, nervous, with puppy dog eyes he glanced at Sui Sui, then quickly looked away, mumbling a greeting: "Hello, Sui Sui, I'm Fourth Brother."

After saying that, he swooshed back behind Feng Xuancang.

Feng Xuanjie is one year younger than Feng Xuancang but much shorter, about the same height as Feng Xuanrui; shrinking behind Feng Xuancang, he's almost invisible.

Feng Xuancang was rather helpless, laughing as he explained for the Fourth Brother: "Sui Sui, Fourth Brother is shy, don't mind it."

Sui Sui obediently shook her head: "It's fine, Fourth Brother is nice, I'm Sui Sui."

Hearing that, Feng Xuanjie poked his head out from behind Feng Xuancang, lightly nodded to show he understood, then slowly shrank back.

The scene was somewhat funny, but Sui Sui didn't get the joke, instead making the system giggle foolishly for a while.

They had been lingering here for a while, Hai Tang reminded everyone to go have breakfast, the brothers then stopped chatting and signaled Feng Xuanrui to take Sui Sui's hand and go ahead, and they followed.

Feng Xuanrui held Sui Sui's hand, walking and telling her the scenery of the Wangfu.

Yesterday returning to the mansion was too late, and he still needed to speak with the Mother Consort.

So, there was no chance to take Sui Sui around.

Now he finally had free time, and Feng Xuanrui said quite a bit.

As the dining hall came into view, Feng Xuanrui took Sui Sui's hand, smiling: "After we settle in, we'll get to know things slowly; the Wangfu is huge, you might not be able to see it all in a whole day."

When Feng Xuanrui and his group arrived, the concubines of the Wangfu had just finished their morning greetings and were about to go out together.

Upon seeing the young masters, the concubines hurriedly stopped to greet them.

Suddenly several pretty aunts appeared, and Sui Sui felt her eyes couldn't take them all in.

Moreover, the aunts all smelled wonderful!

She followed beside Feng Xuanrui, her eyes constantly looking at this one, then that one.

Today, the concubines who came to pay respects numbered five in total.

Leading the way was Concubine Wen, slender in build, with a slightly pale complexion, her whole body exuding a fragile beauty.

She is Feng Xuanjie's birth mother; seeing her son, she only pressed her lips and nodded, not asking anything else, then continued forward.

The other few concubines either followed behind her or walked beside her.

Bringing up the rear was Concubine Su, holding a handkerchief and twisting her waist.

Upon seeing Sui Sui, she covered her mouth with the handkerchief, her eyes bending into a smile: "Oh, this must be the little girl who just came back to the mansion yesterday, right?"

After asking, regardless of whether anyone answered, Concubine Su sized up Sui Sui from head to toe, then said: "You really look lively and spirited."

After saying that, she reached out to touch Sui Sui, but Feng Xuanrui gave her a sideways glance.

Concubine Su embarrassedly withdrew her hand, laughing and teasing: "The Sixth Prince is protecting her like this now? After all, such a pretty girl—if you don't keep her for yourself to take as a concubine, it's a pity."

As soon as she said that, the faces of the Feng brothers all changed.

The few concubines who had just been walking forward all unconsciously stopped, their gazes toward Concubine Su complex and pitying.

The Princess Consort of Qi had already been heading toward the dining hall; hearing the commotion here, she furrowed her brows and came over, just in time to hear Concubine Su's words.

After hearing that, the Princess Consort of Qi felt her temples throbbing.

At this moment, she seemed to understand why Liu Dafu sometimes grits his teeth while reciting the Great Compassion Mantra.

Because, that can lower one's killing intent!

Sui Sui didn't understand what 'taking on a concubine' meant.

But, Feng Xuanrui understood.

Although he had never been taught about men and women, who let his father be so improper, taking on so many concubines?

Many things, in everyday banter, sometimes unnoticed, end up being heard by them.

Taking on a concubine means taking on a side‑room concubine.

Hearing this, how could Feng Xuanrui not explode?

He shielded Sui Sui behind him, then prepared to step forward and bang bang, give Concubine Su two punches!

After seeing this, the Princess Consort of Qi gave a soft shout: 'Little Six!'

Feng Xuanrui's hands at his sides had already clenched into fists, ready to strike.

Hearing the Mother Consort's voice, Feng Xuanrui restrained his movements, gritted his teeth and turned his head, his face showing a hint of grievance.

The second watch is at 19:00.
