Upon hearing this, Song Kaifeng got up and ran without saying a word, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The Fifth Prince curled his lip upon seeing this: "Coward!"
"Fifth Prince, what brings you here?" Princess Jia Hua pointed to a chair beside her. The Fifth Prince quickly walked over and sat down. His gaze towards Princess Jia Hua was completely devoid of hostility, and he was incredibly docile. "Cousin, may I escort you to your wedding?"
Princess Jia Hua raised an eyebrow, looking into the other person's sincere eyes, and changed the subject, asking again, "Why did you come?"
"My cousin doesn't welcome me?" The Fifth Prince's exquisitely handsome face fell.
Princess Jia Hua shook her head; "How could that be? I naturally welcome you."
The Fifth Prince immediately grinned.
Seeing the Fifth Prince's alternating expressions of grievance and laughter, Xiu Shu couldn't help but laugh as well, and Princess Jia Hua shook her head helplessly.
"Today, the fourth prince begged the old man to withdraw the decree for the marriage alliance, but the old man scolded him. The fourth prince then asked for life-saving talismans for the two little ones, but the old man scolded him for meddling in other people's business."
The Fifth Prince curled his lip: "Fourth Brother is too particular about rules. Once the old man kicks the bucket, he'll be the one making all the decisions."
"Xiao Wu!" Princess Jia Hua had a headache.
The old fellow he was referring to was none other than the current emperor.
"I'm here!" The Fifth Prince stepped forward, his eyes sparkling as he stared intently at Princess Jiahua. He said earnestly, "Actually, the old man still hasn't decided who will succeed him. He's wavering and takes tonics every day. Fourth Brother might not be able to sit on that throne smoothly."
Princess Jia Hua did not interrupt the other party this time. She sighed and looked somewhat helpless.
"cousin?"
"Hmm?" Princess Jia Hua looked at him.
The Fifth Prince's smile vanished, replaced by a chilling murderous glint in his beautiful eyes: "What do you think if I were to become emperor?"
Princess Jia Hua was stunned.
"If I were emperor, the first thing I would do is confiscate the Marquis's mansion! And I would give you your freedom." The Fifth Prince had never thought of vying for the throne, but recently he had developed such thoughts.
"Fifth Prince!" Princess Jia Hua lowered her voice: "Don't say such things carelessly in the future. Be careful, walls have ears. If you want that position, I won't object. But you can't fight for that position because of me. I don't want you to be in danger. If the Fourth Prince becomes emperor, he will definitely not mistreat you."
“If my fourth brother becomes emperor, I will naturally not compete for it. But what if it is someone else?” the fifth prince pressed.
Princess Jia Hua replied without hesitation, "Of course we must compete for it!"
The Fifth Prince grinned: "I've remembered what my cousin said."
After dismissing everyone around her, Princess Jiahua handed a jade pendant from her waist to the Fifth Prince: "This is the Xuanying Army. From today onwards, it is entrusted to you. It can save your life if necessary. Your life is precious and must not be harmed."
The fifth prince, holding the jade pendant, was completely stunned.
The Xuan Ying Army is so precious, yet she gave it to herself.
"cousin……"
"Alright, put it away, stop being so sentimental." Princess Jiahua smiled slightly: "In the blink of an eye, you've become a little adult."
The Fifth Prince immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Cousin, I already chose my consort last year."
When he stood up, he was actually a head taller than Princess Jia Hua. Princess Jia Hua suddenly realized and chuckled, "What a pity, I won't have the chance to see you get married."
The words "get married" reached the Fifth Prince's ears, and his eyes darkened. He lowered his gaze to hide his disappointment, but when he looked up again, his face was full of joy: "Cousin, I will definitely protect you."
