I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 152 - 103: Seniority (Part 3)

She closely examined this group of Qiangrong people. The Eldest Prince had a roughly designed, unique curved saber at his waist, with a leather scabbard inlaid with green gemstones. Others wore loose, peculiar black and red robes, and some had black armor covering their shoulders, but all exposed their toned chests.

The Eldest Prince, furious, wanted to draw his saber, his red braid nearly standing on end: "Bastard, I’m not your son! You little weakling, just like that pretty face Gu Chengzhao! Dare to have a man’s duel with me!"

Gu Lan was taken aback, and before she could agree, the Eldest Prince was already stopped by his subordinates: "Prince, you mustn’t!"

"Prince, don’t be impulsive!"

"Remember, we came to Yanjing City by order to witness the prosperity of Dayan, not to fight."

This group spoke Mandarin, but with a peculiar accent. Gu Lan dug her ear and eagerly asked, "So, are we fighting or not?"

She was quite tempted by the Eldest Prince’s curved saber.

The Eldest Prince took a deep breath and shouted, "Fine! I’ll listen to you! No fight it is!"

Gu Lan looked at Gu Changting, with her eyes asking: Why does he seem so brave even when not fighting?

Gu Changting: It just goes to show, Qiangrong people have some issues with their heads.

Gu Lan’s gaze swept over the Eldest Prince’s arrogant yet slightly naive face and glanced at a relatively slender man beside him.

This man looked very young. Although he also wore the red robes of the Qiangrong people, underneath he had a black long robe.

His hair wasn’t braided like the others but was adorned with a jade crown, and a jade pendant hung from his waist. He looked cultured and refined, more like a man from Yan Country than a Qiangrong.

Just now, it was this man who stopped the Eldest Prince, and the Eldest Prince valued him greatly.

The Eldest Prince, with a voice like thunder, introduced, "This is my brother, Jiang Qu."

"So, it’s the Second Prince."

Jiang Qu clasped his fists and saluted in an awkward manner, "Jiang Qu greets the Young Heir of Dingyuan Marquis."

"In our Yan Country’s etiquette, Gu Lan has not yet been conferred the title of Heir, so Prince Jiang Qu should call her... Uncle," Gu Chengye explained.

Back then, to emphasize his respect for Prince Rui, Rong Jing conferred the title of Heir to Rong Yunhao when he was just two or three years old. Gu Lan, on the other hand, would have to wait until she came of age to become the Heir of Dingyuan Marquis.

However, she’s the only legitimate child of Dingyuan Marquis, and her position as Heir is as certain as a nailed board.

Calling foster father is really impolite, Gu Chengye thought calling her Uncle would suffice.

Gu Lan thought her second uncle considered things very well.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qu and Duoji’s expressions slightly stiffened.

To have these grown men call this pretty-faced youth Uncle in front of them?

Duoji was already thirty years old, and his eldest son was the same age as Gu Lan.

Jiang Qu’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, his slender eyes like the vertical pupils of a venomous snake, remaining silent.

The Eldest Prince glanced back at his subordinates, noticing they all seemed angry, so he gritted his teeth and roared:

"Call him Uncle! The Chanyu calls that pretty face Dingyuan Marquis his foster father, so what if this is his son? Why hesitate to call him Uncle! If you can’t bring yourself to say it, I’ll do it first!"

With that, the Eldest Prince was the first to clasp his fists and said in a booming voice:

"Uncle!"

Seeing their Eldest Prince had called him thus, the others had no choice but to follow suit, calling Gu Lan Uncle.

Jiang Qu twisted his features to call out, and the Eldest Prince patted his shoulder, consoling him, "Jiang Qu, they have a saying in Dayan, ’A true man can bend and stretch.’" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Thank you, dear nephews."

The Young Master of the Marquis accepted this rightfully, thinking to himself, the Eldest Prince may be naive, but he knows that calling someone Uncle is something that must be done as a display of Yan Country’s power, so he took the lead for his brothers.

Jiang Qu’s thoughts were deeper, and he wasn’t as open-minded as the Eldest Prince.

Gu Lan then asked, "Dear nephew, why is Jiang Qu nephew dressed like someone from Yan Country?"
