Ji Zhe grabbed the princess' wrist and left amidst the angry gazes of the crowd.

The eldest prince and others behind him had vicious expressions on their faces. They had tried so hard to please him for so long but still failed.

Who would have thought that today, the Seventh Prince, whom he had never taken seriously, would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

What’s more, what the eldest princess said was too harsh. Did she think that they in Beimo were vegetarians?

The ten princes each had their own little thoughts. They had to guard against each other and the seventh prince, and no one was willing to tell the truth.

…

At this time, Ji Zhe had already brought the eldest princess back to Yuqing Palace.

All unmarried princes lived in Yuqing Palace, and each had an independent courtyard.

Ji Zhe was naturally the oldest prince here, and he lived in the most remote, farthest and quietest courtyard.

"Azhe, do you live here?"

"It looks shabby from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be even more destitute inside!"

The eldest princess couldn't help but click her tongue. She followed Ji Zhe obediently, thinking that he was going to take her to find the emperor's uncle and Bai Shu.

I didn't expect him to bring me directly to the prince's residence, but it looked too shabby.

There was not even a charcoal fire in the house, and the windows were wide open, even making a banging sound in the cold wind.

It doesn't look like the owner doesn't want to close it, it just seems to be broken and can't be closed...

Ji Zhe allowed the princess to look at his nominal residence. After the commotion just now, he was not so angry anymore.

But he still felt aggrieved. He had been frightened all the way and almost attacked the dog emperor.

I didn't expect to see her lingering in the grass when I entered the palace!

All of his brothers, the emperors, are hypocrites. They approach her with ulterior motives, and no one will truly treat her well!

Thinking of this, Ji Zhe's eyes grew emotional. He walked to the corner of the room and gently moved the only large piece of furniture in the room, the old wooden table.

Suddenly, a secret room appeared behind the tattered bed, illuminated by candles. It looked much more luxurious from a distance.

"Your Highness, it's warm inside."

Ji Zhe's magnetic voice sounded, and the eldest princess was still wondering, doesn't this kid always call me sister?

Why do the titles become formal after entering the palace?

Without thinking much, she followed the direction Ji Zhe pointed and walked into the secret room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, the door of the secret room slowly closed.

The eldest princess: “???”

She turned around and saw Ji Zhe with a wanton smile on his face. He was not as well-behaved as before.

Wearing a dark brocade robe, with deep and profound eyes, he exudes a sense of mystery that is enough to bewitch people.

The eldest princess's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells. He is the seventh prince of Beimo, he can't be her enemy!

She looked around quickly, and not only was there no sign of the emperor's uncle and Bai Shu, there wasn't even a single person here!

Although she was extremely nervous, she remained calm and said calmly,

"Azhe, where are the uncle and Shu'er?"

"I'm so scared in this palace all by myself, I've been hoping you'll come and save me!"

The princess is very cautious at this moment. Shu'er said that when it comes to uncertainties, one should wait and see before drawing conclusions.

Besides, she couldn't beat Ji Zhe.

However, Ji Zhe approached the princess step by step, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes, and said in a deep voice,

"Your Highness is afraid of being alone?"

"Why does it seem to me that His Highness seems to be enjoying himself?"

"Um?"

The young man's voice was low, and the last word made the princess' heart tremble.

She couldn't figure out the boy's emotions. Was he angry?

Ji Zhe was tall and had long legs. When he took a step forward, the princess would take two steps back and still have to look up at him.

Just in terms of momentum, the woman seemed to be in a panic.

The princess tried to look directly into the eyes of the young man, trying to calm herself down.

"Azhe, didn't the emperor's uncle and Shu'er come with you?"

The eldest princess was obviously at a loss. She couldn't understand Ji Zhe.

But she retreated again and again, and now she was facing a cold wall behind her, with no room for retreat.

“!!!”

The princess's heels pressed against the wall behind her, and the sound of her heartbeat was magnified in her ears.

Even so, Ji Zhe did not give up and continued to move forward step by step.

When the two were only a few feet apart and there was no room to retreat, Ji Zhe hugged the person opposite him into his arms.

One hand embraced her slender waist, isolating her from the cold wall.

Another strong hand held the back of her head, forcing her to look him in the eye.

“!!!”

The princess instinctively placed her hands on the boy's chest. Even so, she still felt that he fitted her perfectly.

Her mind was blank, and she had no room to think about Ji Zhe's intentions.

Until a low and bewitching voice sounded in my ears,

"How about you consider me, Your Highness?"

The young man talked about something else, leaving the princess confused.

“???”

The young man looked at the stunned woman in his arms, and felt that her red lips were soft and delicious.

Thinking about it, I want to find out.

"Azhe!"

"Let's talk it out!"

The princess was completely panicked. She felt that the handsome face of the young man was infinitely magnified in front of her.

His eyes kept lingering on her lips, this was definitely not her illusion!

So she couldn't help but exclaimed, and lightly covered the boy's thin lips with her bare hands.

This was her subconscious action, and after she came to her senses, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She retracted her slender fingers and cursed herself, thinking she should have covered her mouth!

What if I anger him?

However, what responded to her was the boy's hearty and soft laughter.

"Your Highness, would you please consider me? I am a chaste woman and have never married or had children. I will neither ask Your Highness to take a second wife nor ask Your Highness to raise a child for someone else."

Ji Zhe put on his usual well-behaved and pitiful appearance, but at this moment their posture and situation were different.

This somewhat makes his image as a lazy boy untenable.

But the eldest princess finally understood what he meant and asked cautiously,

"Azhe, do you want to be the Crown Prince of Beimo, do you want to be the Emperor of Beimo?"

The only reason the princess could think of was that the dog emperor promised that she would be the future crown princess.

So, is Ji Zhe doing this just to sit on the supreme throne?

“…”

Ji Zhe looked at the woman in his arms with clear eyes and a hint of panic, and laughed again.

Doesn't she understand what she means, or is she not confident enough in herself?

So he looked into her eyes and said word by word,

"Princess, I like you."

"Choose me, and I'll marry into Dongye's family."

Ji Zhe had no interest in the dirty throne paved with blood.

His goal from the beginning to the end was the eldest princess alone. As long as the eldest princess agreed, he was willing to accompany her in any capacity.

Even if it's marrying into the family...

“!!!”
