"Sixth Prince," the Crown Prince called out, stepping forward.

Fang Ruotang stepped out of Ye Wuxia's embrace and looked at the Crown Prince, asking somewhat confusedly, "Is Crown Prince trying to stop me from having a wedding with Wuxia?"

She knew that her brother, the Crown Prince, had always wanted to have a grand wedding with her, to announce to the world that they were a couple, but she had refused.

The prince choked up.

Yes, he was trying to stop it.

But seeing the usually carefree girl with an unusual look of confusion on her face, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to say what he originally intended.

Soon, heartache took over, and he pulled Fang Ruotang into his arms, speaking softly, "No matter what you do, your Crown Prince brother will support you. As long as you're happy."

Ye Wuxia glanced at the Crown Prince, her joy at being able to hold a wedding fading slightly, feeling somewhat inferior.

He had finally managed to improve his standing in Fang Ruotang's heart through this incident, but the Crown Prince's interference not only stole the limelight but also made him seem immature.

"Brother Crown Prince, you are so kind!"

Fang Ruotang hugged the Crown Prince, buried her face in his chest and rubbed against him, looking extremely dependent.

Fang Ruotang was already closer to the Crown Prince than to the other five, and this was even more so now. The five had different personalities and behaved differently; some held grudges in their hearts, while others were straightforward and confrontational.

Huo Zhige said sarcastically, "Your Highness is indeed noble and virtuous, but I hope that in the future, when everyone mentions the Grand Preceptor's husband, the first person they think of is Minister Ye, you can still maintain this composure."

"So what! Whose fault is it?" The Crown Prince hugged Fang Ruotang tightly, pressing down on the back of her head with his large hand. Knowing that she was not good at dealing with these things, he simply didn't let her face them.

"If it weren't for your insistence and fighting, which caused Xiao Liu to break his promise, would we be in this situation today? Would Xiao Liu have agreed to hold the wedding with Minister Ye?"

When the Crown Prince glared at Huo Zhige, his eyes were filled with undisguised resentment, but he didn't seem inclined to pursue the matter. After all, Ye Wuxia had been so engrossed in her upcoming marriage last night that she hadn't noticed.

He and Prince Rong discovered it, but they stood by and did nothing to stop the situation from escalating. So, now that things have come to this, no one can blame anyone else.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with Huo Zhige..."

Fang Ruotang, nestled in the Crown Prince's arms, retorted softly.

She felt a little embarrassed after hearing what the Crown Prince said.

It was clearly her fault, so why did the Crown Prince push all the blame onto Huo Zhige? This made her feel a little despicable, but at the same time, she couldn't hide her little bit of happiness.

The Crown Prince is so kind.

No matter what she did, they protected her unconditionally.

"Alright, let's leave it at that." The Crown Prince patted Fang Ruotang's head and coaxed, "Let's go back! It'll be dark if we drag this out any longer."

"oh……"

Fang Ruotang, being embraced by the Crown Prince, secretly peeked out to look at Ye Wuxia and then at Huo Zhige, displaying a somewhat arrogant air of taking advantage of his master's power.

She made the choice, but the two of them ended up taking the blame.

The Crown Prince escorted Fang Ruotang directly to his carriage.

Inside the carriage, Fang Ruotang huddled nervously in the Crown Prince's arms. She was actually a little concerned about the Crown Prince's feelings at this moment, but she felt it was best not to say anything.

Therefore, she sat obediently, her beautiful eyes fixed on the prince's Adam's apple.

Watching the Crown Prince's Adam's apple bob up and down, Fang Ruotang quickly forgot her earlier awkwardness, pressing one hand on the Crown Prince's Adam's apple and touching herself with the other.

The Crown Prince pressed down on Fang Ruotang's small hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop fooling around, your body can't take it."

Fang Ruotang was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and said awkwardly, "What nonsense are you talking about, Crown Prince? I didn't say anything!"

"If you don't want to, then don't seduce me." The Crown Prince lowered his head and gently kissed Fang Ruotang's lips.

He had finally managed to suppress his lust last night, and now he was like a powder keg, unable to withstand the slightest provocation, especially to such a sensitive and vulnerable spot as his Adam's apple.

"oh……"

Fang Ruotang nestled obediently in the Crown Prince's arms, but she was a restless person and soon started to wriggle again. The Crown Prince pinched her waist in annoyance.

"Behave yourself."

Fang Ruotang felt the Crown Prince's enthusiasm and retorted with a flushed face.

"You don't have to hug me."

The crown prince looked down at the girl in his arms, whose face was slightly angry. Instead of putting her down, he held her even tighter to show his stance.

"Hmph!"

Fang Ruotang's haughty demeanor melted the Crown Prince's heart. He laughed and said, "You're just taking advantage of my favor to act lawlessly!"

"I can!"

Fang Ruotang nodded in agreement.

The crown prince couldn't help but smile, revealing his dimples, which he rarely showed to others.

"Brother Crown Prince, about my marriage to Wuxia..."

Fang Ruotang hesitated for a moment, but still brought it up. After all, the Crown Prince seemed to be in a good mood, so it was better to bring it up now than when he had a sullen face.

"Sure, do as you please."

Will you be angry?

"No, I'm just sad that the groom isn't me."

The Crown Prince was quite direct, leaving Fang Ruotang speechless. She looked at him anxiously, unsure how to comfort him, and her racking her brains truly pleased the Crown Prince.

What the other five could see, how could the Crown Prince not understand?

Just like Huo Zhige managed to abduct Hu Ye Wuxia by playing the victim, he was confident that Fang Ruotang would not let the Crown Prince succeed if he were in charge.

Therefore, the Crown Prince was somewhat disappointed, but not to the point of going crazy. Besides, who said that after Ye Wuxia married Fang Ruotang, when people mentioned Fang Ruotang's little husband, they would only think of him?

"You're just too obedient. Next time, be more outgoing and dote on whoever you want without feeling guilty. If they dare to cause trouble again, just tell them to get lost."

"……ah?"

Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded. Something wasn't right.

Why is it that she doesn't need to coax the Crown Prince, but instead the Crown Prince comforts her?

"But there's only one request: you can only hire the six of us, no more than that. Do you agree?" The Crown Prince grabbed Fang Ruotang's waist and lifted her up a little so that they were looking at each other at eye level.

Fang Ruotang, a little slow to react, wrapped her arms around his neck, but subconsciously replied, "I can't even handle the six of you, why would I look for others?"

"Good boy." The crown prince was satisfied.

Fang Ruotang was stunned.

[As expected of the first wife, look at her demeanor.]

The little mirror suddenly praised her, and Fang Ruotang's face turned red.

She knew the Crown Prince could hear her.

The crown prince scoffed. What magnanimity? If it were anyone else, he could have just thrown them away. But those five people were like leeches that he couldn't shake off.

It wasn't because they split into six souls from one body that he showed mercy, but rather because the Crown Prince understood that a man who had been searching for a woman for hundreds of thousands of years couldn't simply define his feelings for her as love—that would be too narrow. He couldn't drive the other five away.
