Ruoxi said irritably, "It's still the Eighth Master, and the Fourth Master..."
Baoer was speechless when he heard it. "Why, they are still pestering you?"
"Alas..." Ruoxi acted as if she had lost all hope in life.
Ruoxi has lived in the Qing Dynasty for more than half a year and is very familiar with this world.
At first, she also thought that Mr. Ba was a good person. After all, he was so handsome, had a good personality, and was as gentle as jade. He was also so infatuated with her sister. She had a really good impression of him.
Later, she heard from her sister that she knew about the love-hate relationship between her sister, Ba Ye and Qing Shan. She didn't know who was right or wrong at that time.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ba, who had liked my sister, suddenly confessed his love to me and gave me a bracelet.
Ruoxi said that she was disgusted at first. Didn’t the Eighth Master like her sister?
How could he like her again? Haha, he's a real man. At that moment, Ruoxi felt that the shadow of Mr. Ba and her modern ex-boyfriend overlapped, both of them cheated. She no longer had any good feelings for him.
Even though the Eighth Master later said that he treated her like a younger sister for the sake of his face, Ruoxi didn't believe it at all.
And there is the Fourth Master. Ever since he jumped into the water to save Ruoxi, he has often written to Ruoxi and even wanted to ask her out.
At the time, Ruoxi didn't refuse because she was worried that the Fourth Master might become the emperor in the future, thinking that it would be good to have a good relationship with him. But she was naive.
A few days ago, the Fourth Master told her that he wanted the Emperor to grant him a marriage and let her become his concubine, which made Ruoxi feel disgusted again.
Ruoxi was thinking about it over and over again, and still felt a little uncomfortable, so she came to find Baoer.
Ruoxi knew that her feelings for the Fourth Master were not romantic, but she wanted to build a good relationship with him because he would be the master of this country in the future. She never expected that he would actually want the Emperor to grant her a marriage.
She also said the same thing to Baoer.
Bao Er was speechless again. "Do you think the Fourth Master can still be the Emperor in the current situation? And do you think he really has feelings for you or does he have other ideas?"
Ruoxi was confused. "What do you mean? Fourth Master..."
As soon as Baoer heard Ruoxi's description, she knew what the Fourth Master thought of Ruoxi. As for how much of it was because Ruoxi was very similar to his deceased wife, and how much of it was because Ruoxi's father happened to be General Maertai, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army and a second-rank official, it is unknown why.
Forget it, I'll help her once more for the sake of being from the same hometown. If she still can't figure it out, then there's no need to get along with her. Then she said
"I think you don't know how much the Emperor hates the Fourth Master now. And based on what the Fourth Master did over the years, he first asked to marry the sister of the concubine who was already engaged as his principal wife. He also asked to marry the former Crown Princess Guaerjia as his wife, but the Emperor did not agree. And in order to get the support of the Guaerjia family, he married the cousin of the Guaerjia princess in his backyard as his wife."
"Now he wants to marry you, and as a concubine. Try to think about the meaning of his doing this."
"Doesn't this show how deep his thoughts are? Do you think he has feelings for you now? Do you think you can play him? If you only want him to be the heir to the throne and want to be the imperial concubine in the future, then just ignore what I said."
Ruoxi's face paled when she heard this. She had obviously also thought that the Fourth Master had never said that he liked her, it was just an illusion that she had been given.
She admitted that she was still a little vain in her heart. How could she not feel anything when the Fourth Master, the future emperor, showed kindness to her?
But what she values most is the freedom of being a modern person, and she cannot allow herself to be as humble as some women in this world to a man.
Or if you become a man's concubine, and not even the fourth or fifth mistress, you might as well die.
Especially since there are two seniors who are doing well, I am not worse than them. At the very least, I can marry only one husband like Sister Qingchuan. Then I can be the master of my own house, which is better than anything else.
"Then, Sister Lin, what do you think I should do?" Her eyes reddened as she spoke. She knew she couldn't outsmart the Fourth Master, who was, after all, the Emperor, but Ruoxi didn't dare offend him. Ultimately, Ruoxi was timid. She could only ask Bao'er for help; after all, it was the Marquis's Mansion.
Baoer said, "It depends on what you think. If you are willing to marry the Fourth Master, you may become a concubine of the prince. After all, your sister, as the eldest daughter, is also a concubine. Although part of the reason was that your father's official position was not high at that time.
With your Ama's support in the northwest, he will treat you well as long as he needs your Ama.
Or if you are lucky, the Fourth Master really likes you and is willing to pamper you alone and give you enough love, then you will share a husband with many women and have to kneel down to his wife.
"If you don't want to marry the Fourth Master, then when the Emperor asks you, you just need to find a reason to refuse. After all, it was you who asked me for the marriage."
"But you'd better talk to your sister. She might help you. You'd better go back and think about it."
Baoer thought that if Ruoxi went back and asked her sister, she would know the Fourth Master's dirty thoughts about her. She believed that no girl would be willing to be someone else's substitute.
There are some things that should not be said by an outsider like me.
"Yes, I understand."
Ruoxi listened to Bao'er's analysis and left Bao'er's house in a daze. Without noticing, she bumped into a handsome young man at the corner.
Qiaohui said anxiously, "Second Miss, are you okay?" If something happened to the Second Miss, she would be punished again.
The young man was not very old, probably about fourteen or fifteen years old, and had the air of a nobleman.
Ruoxi also knew that she had bumped into someone and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice."
The man, Hongxi, had just returned from outside and was about to go home when he was bumped into by someone as he walked around the corner. He was about to get angry, but when he saw the girl apologize sincerely, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay, be careful on the road next time."
Ruoxi forced a smile at the corner of her lips. "Yes, sir, I will pay attention next time."
"Yeah," the man said and walked towards his house without staying any longer, and the young eunuch behind him followed.
When Qiaohui saw that the man went to the courtyard next door, she knew that the former crown prince, now Prince Li, lived there. She said in surprise, "The second young lady's son went to Prince Li's house. Judging from his age, he should be the eldest prince of Prince Li's mansion. I didn't expect the eldest prince to be so kind."
Ruoxi was stunned. Wasn't Prince Li the former crown prince? She finally understood. If the crown prince could abdicate early, then the Fourth Master might not be able to become the emperor.
There was no need for him to be afraid of her. She should go back and ask her sister for some advice. She should think about how to reject the Fourth Master in front of the Emperor. He was already so old.
Ruoxi felt that she was not the type to share a husband with someone else. She would feel that life would be worse than death.
Then I'd better marry like Sister Lin and Sister Luo. I'd also find a way to get a title and marry a handsome man. The two of us would just live happily together.
