Yu Yiluo and Empress Xian were both speechless upon hearing this.
"Isn't that sharp enough?"
Concubine De knew the answer when she saw Concubine Xian's expression. She frowned in annoyance, as if she wished it could happen again.
"If I had known I would have slammed the table when the Third Prince came in, but this would have ruined my dignified image."
Concubine Xian chuckled, "Sister Defei, are you worried that the Third Prince will bully the princess? They have known each other since childhood. Isn't this fate destined by heaven? Moreover, the Third Prince has a good character and will definitely not let the princess down."
[My mother is so accurate in her predictions. They are officially married, so it must be fate.]
[The Third Prince has already betrayed the heroine for a lifetime. If he still betrays her after making things right in this lifetime, let the thunder strike him hard.]
The originally clear sky suddenly sounded like thunder because of these words. Yu Yiluo sighed and bit her hands, not knowing what was going on.
【The weather is so unpredictable. 】
"Actually, the Third Prince really understands Xue'er." Concubine De picked up the paper filled with questions and smiled mysteriously. "In fact, I don't even know the answers to some of the questions I asked."
I'll have someone send it to Xue'er at the mansion later to see if the Third Prince is deceiving her.
Her original intention today was indeed not to embarrass the Third Prince, because she knew Xue'er. If she didn't like someone, she wouldn't even look at them twice.
…
The third prince sent Mu Xue to the gate of the marquis' mansion and went in with her.
Seeing the two of them coming in together, Marquis Qingyuan, who came out of the study, quickly hid behind a pillar.
The third prince actually came here by himself today. Didn’t his daughter go to see her younger sister?
"Auntie didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
The two of them walked to the pavilion, and Mu Xue stopped and asked.
The third prince lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Xue, then shook his head with a curved lip.
"Her Majesty Defei is dignified and gentle, she won't embarrass others. Even if she embarrasses me, it's because she cares about the princess."
The soft sunlight sprinkled on the face of the Third Prince. Mu Xue raised her eyes and met his eyes filled with smiles.
She quickly averted her gaze, looked elsewhere, and spoke after a moment.
"Your Highness knows that once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back."
The third prince walked to the stone bench and sat down, looking at Mu Xue's profile and speaking word by word.
"As long as the princess doesn't abandon me."
Mu Xue turned around and walked to the stone bench and sat down. She picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea when a big hand reached out and took the teapot.
The third prince put down the teapot and looked at Mu Xue with raised eyebrows.
"How about a drink? Princess, you can say whatever you want to say today."
Mu Xue hesitated for a moment, then stood up and asked someone to get some wine.
Soon, the maid came over with a pot of wine.
"This wine is not strong, just right for the princess to drink."
The maid put down the wine and left, leaving only two people in the pavilion.
Because the wine was not strong, Mu Xue drank a few glasses and her fair face began to turn red. She put the glass on the table, raised her hand to support her chin and stared at the third prince with a somewhat dazed look in her eyes.
"You said you don't remember what I look like. Is it because we're not destined to be together? Otherwise, why don't you remember?"
Because she drank a little too much, Mu Xue spoke slowly and softly.
It seemed like he was talking to the Third Prince, but also like he was muttering to himself.
"No," the Third Prince finished the wine in his hand and looked at Mu Xue, whose cheeks were flushed. "I don't remember what you look like, but now that we have met, it is fate."
Mu Xue shook her head and said disapprovingly, "You're lying."
"How could I lie to the princess? If the princess doesn't believe me, she should at least believe the abbot of Baiyun Temple. You said he's very good at interpreting divinations. He even said that we were destined to be together."
The third prince spoke as if he was coaxing a child, and was very patient.
Mu Xue is usually too restrained, so drinking is a rare opportunity for her to release her true nature.
"But this is unfair," Mu Xue lowered her eyes, her tone a little aggrieved, "It's obvious that I like you more."
Listening to her aggrieved murmur, the Third Prince was startled. Thinking of his past life, he felt as if his heart was being strangled by a rope, making it hard for him to breathe.
Yeah, that's unfair.
She did so much for him silently, but he never even looked at her when she died, and he didn't even know that she was the little girl he was looking for.
When she made up her mind to hang herself, how much indifference and despair did she endure before making this choice?
"Then I will like you more from now on, okay?" The Third Prince withdrew his thoughts. Seeing Mu Xue closing her eyes and about to lie on the table, he quickly stood up and held Mu Xue's small chin with his hand, and said softly:
"But this is not enough. I owe you so much."
So many that he couldn't count them.
"Third brother, why are you..."
The second prince walked in waving a folding fan. Before he could finish his words, the third prince grabbed the lid of the wine jug on the table and threw it at him, interrupting him from saying anything else.
Raising his hand to take out the lid of the wine flask in his mouth, the second prince patted his chest with lingering fear and took a long time to utter a word.
"You can use violence just like that."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his teeth, "Luckily, my teeth are strong and they weren't knocked out."
The third prince ignored him, but bent down and picked up Mu Xue and walked into the room. After putting Mu Xue down, he took off her shoes and covered her with a quilt. Then he got up and went out to tell the maid to prepare some sobering soup.
"No, I'm such a handsome man following you, can't you see me?"
The second prince followed the third prince out, and seeing that he ignored him, he waved the wine jug in front of his eyes.
"I am your royal brother. Father said we should love each other. Is this how you treat your royal brother?"
After saying this, he secretly observed the Third Prince's expression. Could it be that his mother didn't allow his cousin and third brother to be together, so he drank to drown his sorrows?
This shouldn't be the case. Didn't Luo'er say that my third brother and my cousin were an official couple? It sounded very powerful. How could my mother break them up?
If this is true, then it seems understandable that my third brother threw the wine flask lid at me just now.
"Love each other?"
The Third Prince said in an ambiguous tone, "We must love each other."
It’s over, my third brother is mentally unstable.
Seeing that he was heading towards the main hall, the second prince was worried that he was going to go and cause trouble with Marquis Qingyuan, so he hurriedly chased after him.
When Marquis Qingyuan saw the two of them coming this way, he quickly turned around and went into the main hall to sit down, pretending to be serious.
"My Lord, the Second and Third Princes are here."
He had just sat down for a while when he saw the second prince and the third prince come in one after another.
"Your Highness, is there anything wrong?"
The Third Prince glanced at the Second Prince and said, "I came here to thank the Marquis for giving me the opportunity."
The second prince, who wanted to stop him, was stunned for a moment. Why was it different from what he expected?
Then the Third Prince said, "I also want to thank Second Brother for bringing us together."
The third prince looked at the second prince with a sincere smile.
"If it weren't for my second brother, I wouldn't be able to see the princess so often."
"Yu Hengyi."
Seeing his uncle's gnashing teeth, the second prince realized the danger, put away his fan and ran out.
"You dare to run," Qingyuan Hou stood up and chased after him with a sullen face. He passed by a servant sweeping the floor and snatched the broom from him. "Yu Hengyi, stop right there."
