"Ridiculous, what status could he possibly have, he's likely nothing but a base-born peasant without a father's upbringing."
Xin Lin said nothing at first, but when she did, Long Qingchen burst out laughing.
Xin Lin is Chu Beiqing's daughter, but clearly Little Xinzhuo is not; surely just a country bumpkin kid.
"How audacious!"
Xin Lin leaped forward in one swift motion, jumped up, and with a smack, she slapped Long Qingchen across the face.
Long Qingchen's ears rang with the sound of the slap, and blood gushed from his nose.
"You wretch, how dare you hit me! I'll kill you!"
He was about to rush forward when Chu Beiqing slammed into him, and they started wrestling.
"This is outrageous! Emperor, look at this, she even dares to hit the Prince! She clearly has no respect for the Emperor."
Empress Feng saw this, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. If not for the dignity of the Mother of the Country, she would have stepped forward and severely reprimanded Xin Lin herself.
