"Sister, you're about to be selected for the imperial concubine selection. Now that these rumors are circulating, who do you think would dare to marry you? In the entire capital, who would dare to compete with the Crown Prince for your hand?" The Ninth Prince looked extremely anxious!

“Yes, sister! Ninth Brother is right!” Tenth Prince chimed in.

The Ninth Prince's eyes were fixed on He Xue. "Sister, you don't want to marry the Crown Prince, do you?"

Before He Xue could even speak, the Ninth Prince immediately added, "Sister, don't be fooled by the Crown Prince's appearance. Although he's somewhat handsome, he'll definitely have many women around him in the future. Besides, he's much older than you; he's too old!"

He Xue stared wide-eyed at the Ninth Prince, then looked back at the Crown Prince's location. She thought the Crown Prince should have heard the Ninth Prince's words, but she wondered what kind of expression the Ninth Prince would have if he knew the Crown Prince was right in front of him.

The Crown Prince clenched his fists. He wished he could sew the Ninth Prince's mouth shut. No wonder he told Xue Zong that the Ninth Prince was a big mouth.

If it weren't for wanting to hear what else the Ninth Prince might say, he would have left right now. What a fine thing to do, daring to stop He Xue from marrying him.

“Ninth Brother, you can’t talk about Second Brother like that. Second Brother is only older than Sister, he’s not that old!” said the Tenth Prince.

"I'm stating the facts. Even if the Crown Prince were here, I would still say the same thing! He's older than all of us!" The Ninth Prince would never admit that he was afraid of the Crown Prince.

He Xue kept giving the Ninth Prince meaningful glances, but the Ninth Prince didn't understand what He Xue meant at all.

"Sister, what's wrong with your eyes? Are they cramping?" the Ninth Prince asked with concern.

He Xue said weakly, "It's okay!"

"Sister, you mustn't let the Crown Prince bewitch you! He'll definitely marry one woman after another. Are you going to have to compete with a bunch of women for him?"

Although Prince is considered relatively good, you can't sacrifice a whole area for one tree! What if Prince is a crooked tree?

Sister, have you forgotten your wish?

He Xue said with a wry smile, "What wish do I have? Don't talk nonsense!"

He Xue discovered that today, the Ninth Prince not only intended to frame himself, but also to drag her down with him.

"Sister, why do you look uglier when you smile than when you cry?" the Tenth Prince asked.

"Where did you see me smile?" He Xue asked with a bitter face.

"Sister, didn't you say you would 'pass through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal clinging to you'?"

"Sister, I've found two storytellers as you requested. Why don't I take you to see them today?" the Ninth Prince suggested.

"Xiao Jiu, if anything happens to me, remember it's all your fault!" He Xue had completely given up struggling; the Crown Prince had probably heard everything he should and shouldn't have heard.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?" the Ninth Prince asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Little Ninth Prince, you must have something else to do, go ahead and get busy!" He Xue waved to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince felt that He Xue must have developed feelings for the Crown Prince. He couldn't watch He Xue jump into a fire pit, and he had to save her.

"It's alright, sister, I'm not busy!" Ninth Prince felt that nothing was more important than Xue's matter.

If He Xue knew what the Ninth Prince was thinking, she would definitely grit her teeth and say, "I really thank you, thank you to your whole family!"

"Sister, look how pitiful those women in the palace are! Once they enter the palace, they may never be able to leave! You must never follow in their footsteps!"

"Sister, didn't Father Emperor say he wanted to adopt you as his goddaughter? I think we should just have him bestow upon you the title of princess. I'll build you a princess's palace and pave it with gold bricks!"

"I'm not that vulgar!" He Xue realized that the Ninth Prince had come to expose her past.

"Sister, I remember you said that although money is not everything, you can't do without it."

"And you also said that this isn't vulgar, it's down-to-earth, it's a necessity of life!" The Tenth Prince added from the side.

"I don't like gold, I like jade!" Xue said.

"You like jade? I remember that the Crown Prince also likes jade!" the Ninth Prince said.

The Crown Prince, who originally intended not to pursue the matter with the Ninth Prince, decided to let the Ninth Prince know that the eldest brother is like a father after hearing what the Ninth Prince said next!
