Fang Ruotang covered her mouth with a sly smile, like a little mouse that had stolen some oil. Her big eyes kept darting around, clearly not thinking of anything good.

What are you laughing at?

"Hehe! I know why the Princess invited me over today."

You know?

Prince An brushed aside the stray hairs on Fang Ruotang's forehead and asked, following her words, "What do you know? Tell me."

Fang Ruotang put one hand to her lips and said softly and smugly, "The Princess wants to marry you to me, hehe, isn't that right?"

Prince An couldn't help but chuckle, "Our sixth little sister is so clever! She figured it out already!"

Fang Ruotang waved her hand, with a slightly arrogant expression.

"It wasn't me who found out! My grandfather told me that the eldest princess had approached him to discuss my marriage with you, but my grandfather didn't want to interfere in my affairs, so he told you to come and ask me your opinion yourselves."

After all, Fang Ruotang's marriage to Ye Wuxia was no longer a big secret; almost everyone who needed to know already knew. Firstly, Fang Ruotang was attracting attention, and secondly, Ye Wuxia was afraid that things might change, so she leaked the news in advance.

Therefore, during the few days of the Lunar New Year, when people visit relatives, they inevitably bring up this matter.

The eldest princess couldn't sit still any longer. On the sixth day of the month, she couldn't wait to bring Fang Ruotang to her residence to ask if Prince An could be sent over as well.

Anyway, Fang Ruotang is going to get married soon, so whether she marries one or two, it's all the same.

"So what do you mean?" Prince An gazed tenderly at Fang Ruotang, his eyes full of expectation, making it impossible for her to refuse.

Fang Ruotang's smile froze slightly, and she stammered, "Are you also planning to have a wedding?"

The tenderness in Prince An's eyes faded slightly, as if he had already guessed Fang Ruotang's answer. However, his expression did not change much, and he said gently, "Of course I want to. Tell me, what man doesn't want to marry the woman he loves in a grand and glorious way? Even if you can't marry me, I would still want to marry you in a grand and glorious way."

Fang Ruotang frowned in distress, bit her lower lip, and looked at Prince An with difficulty.

Prince An sighed, then reached out and hugged Fang Ruotang even tighter. He buried his gentle, handsome face in Fang Ruotang's neck, and the warm breath he exhaled made her shrink back slightly.

"Little Sixth Sister, you must be more loving towards me."

"ah?"

Fang Ruotang was a little surprised that the usually aloof Prince An would say such a humble thing. In her eyes, Prince An was a gentleman, gentle in speech and polite in his manners.

He always maintains a calm and unhurried attitude, as if he has everything in the world under his control.

"You value the Crown Prince, indulge General Huo, and now pity Minister Ye. But when it comes to me, you have nothing. Little Six, this is not fair. Look at me more!"

Prince An buried his face in Fang Ruotang's neck, and his words were not only hot but also muffled, as if he were a very weak person begging for the pity of a superior.

Fang Ruotang was stunned by this idea. She turned to look at Prince An, meeting most of his profile. Noticing her gaze, he raised his head and reverently placed a kiss on the corner of her lips.

"OK?"

Her gentle voice struck Fang Ruotang's heart.

His head was already spinning, and now it was even more confused, but he thought that he had already broken his promise once and disappointed Ye Wuxia, so he couldn't do it a second time.

Therefore, she forced herself to stay in the net cast by Prince An, trying her best to keep a straight face, and said slowly and deliberately, "Aren't there still Prince Rong and the young prince?"

“I’m not a bad student. I’ve excelled in everything since elementary school, from academics to martial arts. Why should I compare myself to someone who’s at the bottom? Can’t you let me be an ambitious person?”

Fang Ruotang's expression cracked slightly, and she said with difficulty, "Isn't this how you use ambition?"

Why not?

Prince An stumped Fang Ruotang. Something seemed off, yet nothing seemed wrong either. He loved what he did, and since he had become her man, he was eyeing the position of the first wife and striving for advancement. It didn't seem unreasonable.

"...So what do you want?"

Fang Ruotang was completely bewildered by Prince An at this moment. Her mind felt both empty and full, and she was no longer able to think for herself. Every word she uttered was followed by Prince An.

"I also want to sign a marriage certificate and have a wedding."

"But I promised Ye Wuxia first, this..."

"I'll be a commoner!"

Fang Ruotang's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she looked at Prince An in a daze, asking, "Wh-what Pingfu?"

“If a man can marry a concubine, you can also marry a husband.” Prince An said this with a straight face and an open and honest demeanor, making it impossible for anyone to tell that he had made any earth-shattering remarks.

"Yes, it seems so!"

Fang Ruotang blinked and thought it made sense.

"So, there's nothing wrong with you marrying two husbands at the same time. You've already fulfilled your promise to Minister Ye about the wedding, so I don't think he'll have any complaints."

"...Is that so?"

Fang Ruotang looked like she had been completely fooled.

Prince An chuckled softly, a cunning glint in his eyes, and spoke in a gentle, slow voice with a seductive quality.

"Of course it's true. Since Minister Ye is in love with you, he certainly won't put you in a difficult position. I guess he wouldn't refuse such a thing. At least, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't put you in a difficult position."

Fang Ruotang felt that something was off about what Prince An said, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She simply followed Prince An's line of thought.

"But if I marry two at the same time, what will I do for the wedding night? I'll only be alone! I don't think it's a good idea. How about I marry Ye Wuxia first, and then take you into the family after some time?"

"Take me as a concubine? You want me to serve tea to Ye Wuxia?"

Fang Ruotang: ...

She thought about how Prince An knelt before Ye Wuxia, performing the concubine's rites and offering tea upon entering the house. His face was contorted with rage; it was too painful to look at and hard to accept.

"Yes, it doesn't look good."

Fang Ruotang scratched her head, unsure of what to do next.

Prince An gently advised, "I won't make things difficult for you. On our wedding night, I won't argue with him about anything."

"Really?"

Fang Ruotang's eyes brightened slightly. If that were the case, it didn't seem impossible. It would just mean traveling a little further, picking up one more person, and having to perform the wedding ceremony once more.

She could even save herself some trouble; otherwise, if she were to marry again next time, it would be a huge hassle and a lot of work.

"Really? Then it's settled?"

Prince An's eyes were full of anticipation. Just as Fang Ruotang was about to agree, the carriage was suddenly smashed. Ye Wuxia's voice came from outside, her voice urgent and panting.

"What do you mean by 'agreed'? Get out here right now and stop trying to fool Xiao Liu just because she's not smart enough."
