Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

Chapter 96 The Marriage I Arranged Myself

To prevent Qin Zejun from blocking Qin Zefei from obtaining information as he had done before, Qin Zefei and Qin Zeyu exchanged a knowing glance and acted almost simultaneously. They tightly hugged Qin Zejun's arms and shouted in unison, "Big brother, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us already!"

Seeing this, Qin Zeyi couldn't help but laugh. He cleared his throat and began to recount that amusing story: "Speaking of Xiao Jun, he was actually born in the same year as the Second Princess, and he's only half a year older than her. Exactly ten years ago, our great-aunt took Xiao Jun to the palace to visit the Empress. Coincidentally, the Second Princess was also there that day. At the time, the Second Princess was eagerly hoping to go out and play, but unfortunately, the Empress was tied up with important matters and couldn't accompany her. So, the Second Princess threw a tantrum, crying and making a scene. Just then, our great-aunt led Xiao Jun in. And this Xiao Jun, he was quite......" With delicate features and extraordinary handsomeness, the little princess immediately stopped crying the moment she stepped into the palace gates. She even quickly broke free from her mother's arms and ran to her, pleading in her sweet, childish voice, "Mother, I want to play with this handsome little brother!" Seeing this, the Empress readily agreed, allowing the little princess to take the handsome boy with her. Now the little princess was overjoyed to finally have a little brother by her side! The two played and frolicked together, sometimes laughing, sometimes whispering sweet nothings. Time flew by unnoticed, and naturally, they became very close.

At this point, Qin Zeyi suddenly stopped talking. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and slowly put it down. He gazed leisurely into the distance, as if his thoughts had drifted back to that unforgettable time.

Qin Zefei, unable to contain his curiosity and eagerness, impatiently asked, "And then?" Qin Zeyi smiled slightly, slowly took another sip of his tea, and then continued his story: "Then, one day, these two little ones somehow had an idea—to be together forever, never to be separated. Just then, the lovely little princess seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea. She tightly grasped Xiao Jun's little hand and skipped straight to her grandmother and the Empress. Her innocent and adorable appearance was simply irresistible. In her tender, slightly childish voice, she sweetly said to the Empress, 'Mother, when I grow up, I must marry Brother Xiao Jun!'"

At this point, Qin Zeyi deliberately paused, then turned to Qin Zejun, teasingly saying with a smile, "Back then, Her Majesty even specifically asked our little Jun about it! Guess how little Jun responded?" He then looked back at everyone, a mysterious smile on his face. After a moment's thought, he suddenly slapped his thigh, as if suddenly enlightened, and continued, "Oh, I remember now! Our little Jun was really decisive back then, he loudly agreed, and even vowed to live with the little princess!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zejun, who had been quietly sipping his tea, was struck dumb. With a "pfft," he spat out the mouthful of hot tea he had just taken a sip. Instantly, his cheeks flushed red, like a ripe apple, his embarrassment obvious. Seeing his loss of composure, Qin Zejun quickly wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, opening his mouth as if to explain something. However, before he could utter a sound, Qin Zeyi interrupted, continuing enthusiastically, "Grandmother and Empress were naturally overjoyed to see this! And so, without further ado, their engagement was settled!"

Qin Zefei's lips curled up into a bright smile as he said with great interest, "Brother Jun, I never imagined you were so domineering when you were little!" His gaze fell on Qin Zejun, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and admiration.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zejun's heart tightened, but he forced a calm and composed demeanor. He slightly raised his chin, raised an eyebrow, and replied in a deliberately authoritative manner, "What? Am I no longer domineering?" After speaking, he even puffed out his chest to show his imposing presence.

At this moment, the younger children nearby echoed their sentiments. They nodded vigorously and said hurriedly, "So cool! So cool! Brother Jun has always been so cool!" Their innocent faces were full of sincerity and awe, as if they had no doubt about Qin Zejun's coolness.
