Heyue doesn't mind putting some pressure on him.

If he doesn't have the ability to win Sixth Sister's heart, then Heyue won't help him. Anyway, as long as Sixth Sister is doing well, it doesn't matter who she marries.

Of course, if Sixth Sister also likes Yiduli, Heyue will help them, but it also depends on whether Yiduli has the ability to marry Sixth Sister.

Heyue was worried about how to deal with the Fourteenth Prince. She could have asked the Fourth Prince for help, but favors are dwindling. Even if the Fourth Prince was good to her, she couldn't rely on him for everything.

As a prince, he has many other things to do and doesn't have time to deal with a little girl like me every day.

I believe that with Uncle Isanga's abilities, resolving this matter shouldn't be difficult, but the prerequisite is that Iduli must win over his uncle and aunt. Once that's done, all problems will be solved.

If Yiduli dares to stand up to the Fourteenth Prince, Heyue will believe that he truly loves the Sixth Sister and would not bully her.

"To be honest, I really think highly of you, cousin. After all, you and Sixth Sister are childhood sweethearts, so your relationship is definitely stronger than that of strangers. But there's not much I can do as a child. I can only say a few good words for you in front of Sixth Sister. But this matter still depends on the adults of both families to make the decision. Cousin, you should talk to Uncle and Aunt first. I'll work on Sixth Sister's side, and then Uncle and Aunt will come to discuss it with Father and Mother."

Seeing Yiduli's furrowed brows and serious expression, Heyue reassured him and sold out his sixth sister without hesitation.

Itori looked at Heyue's slightly smiling face and felt a slight headache coming on.

Seemingly understanding what Heyue meant, he realized that this cousin was just as difficult to deal with as Yanyue.

Gritting his teeth, Yiduli spoke up: "Seventh Sister doesn't know, even if I persuade Father and Mother to agree, to get past the Fourteenth Prince, we must ask the Crown Prince for help. But Mother has already arranged with Grandfather for Hesheli's cousin, so the Crown Prince may not agree to my relationship with Yanyue."

"Then why are you telling me this? I don't understand these things." Heyue spread her hands, pretending to be stupid: "Besides, this trouble was caused by my aunt. If you really want to marry Sixth Sister, you should solve it yourself. I can't help you!"

Yi Duli's face darkened, and he frowned as he glared at He Yue, who met his gaze without backing down.

“Cousin, if there’s nothing else, I have to go back, so I won’t say any more. Anyway, I have high hopes for you on this matter.” He Yue clenched her fist at him to show her support, then got up and left with a smile.

"etc!"

A smile flashed in He Yue's eyes. "Little brat, trying to mess with me!"

"Is there anything else, cousin?" He Yue turned around, looking puzzled.

"Seventh Sister, how much do you know about the royal family? If Yan Yue really marries the Fourteenth Prince, he may not love her forever, and she may not be happy. Can you bear to let Yan Yue fall into such a situation?"

Meeting his earnest and sharp gaze, He Yue sat down again, resting her chin on her hand, her smile unchanged: "What does Cousin want to say? I already said that if the Emperor really bestows a marriage upon Sixth Sister and Fourteenth Prince, even if I can't bear it, there's nothing I can do. I can only wish Sixth Sister well."

"As far as I know, Seventh Sister and Fourth Prince are close. If we ask Fourth Prince for help, I believe the Crown Prince will agree."

Finally, after hearing those words, He Yue's smile faded.

I always thought Itori was an honest man, but I never expected him to have such a complicated and scheming mind.

I sensed something was off about his words earlier, and it turns out he really was planning this.

Perhaps believing he had little chance of winning against the Fourteenth Prince, Yiduli had no choice but to do this, but Heyue was still somewhat uncomfortable.

If the Fourth Prince were to intervene, even if it were the Crown Prince, the rift between the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince would widen if the Fourteenth Prince were to find out that it was the Fourth Prince who asked the Crown Prince for help.

Heyue did not want to cause trouble for the Fourth Prince.

“My cousin isn’t confident he can persuade my aunt, so he asked me to plead with the Fourth Prince. If the Emperor grants the marriage, my aunt will have to accept it no matter how dissatisfied she is, right?” Heyue saw through his thoughts.

Yi Duli dared not meet He Yue's gaze, feeling as if she were being stared at by those clear eyes, making all her thoughts impossible to hide, leaving her feeling extremely embarrassed.

He didn't understand why he felt so guilty in front of his cousin, who was a few years younger than him.

Only then did he realize that his cousin was indeed very different from before.

Heyue didn't know whether to be angry that Yiduli had used her or to feel gratified for her sixth sister.

While his actions were certainly not very considerate, they did show how much he cared about his sixth sister.

"If I'm not mistaken, even if the Hesheli family has arranged a marriage with your aunt, which do you think they would choose between the prince's wife and the other?" Heyue posed a question.

This was a possibility that suddenly came to Heyue's mind.

Given the intentions of Songgotu and the Crown Prince, they would probably have initially chosen one of the Emperor's concubines. If that didn't work out, they would have preferred to choose one of the princes as a second choice.

Perhaps the aunt favors the girls in the Hesheli family, but it also depends on whether the girls are willing to accept it.

Not everyone is as fortunate as my uncle to marry a woman from the Hesheli clan as outstanding as his aunt.

He Yue guessed that her aunt wasn't ignorant, nor did she necessarily need to marry a niece from her own family; it was just that her aunt wasn't quite satisfied with her sixth sister's lively personality.

She was a woman full of talent, so how could she let her son marry her sixth sister who hadn't even read many books?

It was also because her mother was not too strict with her and her sisters' studies, basically letting them grow up freely, that the sixth sister developed such a personality.

In He Yue's heart, she didn't think that such a temperament was bad; it was just that everyone's requirements were different.

Iduli was shocked to hear Yuehui say such a thing, and looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.

"Cousin, don't think I'm easy to fool. If you really want to marry Sixth Sister, you can go to the Crown Prince yourself. I believe the Crown Prince will give you face. But don't think I should beg Fourth Prince. You should know that Sixth Sister doesn't have to marry you to be happy."

Heyue's last words could be considered a warning.

This time, Iduli didn't say anything more, greeted Yue, and left directly.

Heyue took the whip to Sixth Sister's room and saw that Sixth Sister had been tortured by the instructor for half a day. After it was over, Sixth Sister collapsed in a chair and drank several cups of tea.

"What do you want from me? Let me tell you, I don't have the energy to talk to you. I just want to get some sleep." Yan Yue was so listless she didn't even have the strength to look at her; her eyelids were drooping.

He Yue smiled and stepped forward: "I have something for Sixth Sister. I wonder if Sixth Sister will like it."

Yan Yue looked her up and down with suspicion, but apart from the whip in her hand, there was nothing else.

He assumed she had just returned from riding a horse, so he wasn't surprised to see her carrying a whip and didn't suspect anything. He lay on the table, seemingly uninterested: "What's all the mystery about?"

He Yue placed the whip in front of her, her eyes curving into a beautiful smile: "Hey, do you like it?"
