At this time, Baoer suddenly asked the prince curiously, "So, Your Highness, are you so balanced with the women in your backyard?" He blinked as he spoke.
When the prince heard Baoer mention the woman in his backyard, he was silent for a moment.
He didn't want to mention the women in his backyard when he was with Baoer, as that would make him seem dirty and unworthy of Baoer.
He thought that if there was a next life, he would definitely not have a woman so early. Only Baoer could be his legitimate woman.
Then he said, "Yes, that's how I treated them, and they entered my Yuqing Palace for the power and benefits of being the crown prince, so they didn't dare to do anything to me." The crown prince seemed very cold when he said these words.
Baoer understood what the prince meant as soon as he heard it. Wasn't it just that he and the women in the Eastern Palace were exchanging interests?
Bao Erdun said with a hint of sympathy, "Then you are too tragic. None of those women are sincere to you."
The prince was not angry after hearing Baoer's words. He smiled and then said pitifully, "Yes, I am really pitiful. I don't like any of those women. They were all forced upon me by my father, and I had no choice but to accept them."
Bao Er then said to the prince seriously, "To be honest, your method is really not suitable for me. After all, I really like Yinzhen and Yinzhen. I must treat them equally in the future, otherwise I will be sorry for their love."
When the prince heard this, he was extremely jealous and secretly clenched his fists under the table.
He really wanted to ask, you treat them equally and don't want to disappoint their affection, but what about me? When will you see my affection?
But he couldn't, because he was afraid of scaring Baoer.
He looked at Bao'er calmly and said calmly, "So, I am really jealous of my ninth and tenth brothers, and even the boy from the Tongjia family and the boy from the Nian family. How could they have such a loyal, lovely and charming girl like you, Bao'er?"
"I don't know when I will be lucky enough to have a girl like you as my lifelong companion."
After the prince finished speaking, he looked at Baoer with affection in his eyes.
Baoer's cheeks flushed when he looked at her. She knew that the prince had some interest in her, but she had forgotten it in a hurry when she brought the prince here.
Looking at the prince's expression, he didn't know how to say "I..."
How could the prince, who was so smart, not understand what she meant? His eyes dimmed and he sighed.
Baoer just felt a little uneasy sitting opposite the prince.
The prince felt a little sorry to see her in such a difficult situation, but then he realized that he hadn't asked all the questions he wanted to know. Only when he knew the answer would he know what to do next.
So he asked what he wanted to ask in his heart, "If, I mean if, you met me when I was not married or had concubines, would you like me like this?"
The prince looked at Baoer without blinking.
After hearing his question, Baoer thought about whether she would like the prince if he was a few years younger and not married yet.
Bao Er said in his heart with certainty that he would, after all, he was so outstanding. No one could block his brilliance.
But there is no if, so she said to the prince "I don't know either". After all, she really didn't know how to answer.
The prince opposite looked at Bao'er, who had been in a daze since he asked the question, and whose expression changed several times. His eyes flashed.
He just confirmed that he saw it right. Baoer was shy for a moment. Although it was fleeting, he knew that Baoer was still emotionally disturbed by his question.
That's good, the prince breathed a sigh of relief. He was just worried that the little girl had no feelings for him at all.
Then I asked Baoer, "Baoer, do you think we are friends now? I still like being friends with you."
Baoer heard this and said playfully, "Of course, I'm looking forward to being friends with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince was delighted to hear Baoer's response and said, "It's settled then. We'll be good friends from now on. If you need any help, you can always ask someone to come to me."
"Okay, it's time for me to return to the palace. I'll have someone send you something tomorrow. Don't refuse it. Think of it as a gift from my friend. Okay?"
When Bao'er heard what the prince said, she couldn't refuse and agreed.
…
While the prince and Bao'er were talking alone, the Tongjia Mansion and the Nian Family Mansion in the capital also received the emperor's edict.
Tongjia Mansion
Originally, when the owner of the mansion, Tong Guowei, saw the imperial edict coming from the palace, he thought that something had happened to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict actually suggested that the fifth son of the mansion, Tong Jiaqingheng, should receive the imperial edict.
Everyone in the mansion couldn't understand what was wrong with the usually well-behaved Qingheng that required the emperor's order.
When Qingheng heard the eunuch delivering the imperial decree, asking him to marry Baoer as a concubine, he was truly surprised and delighted.
Because he knew that the most favored one in the family was his third brother Longkodo, and he was just a bastard.
It was only because his biological mother died early and he was raised by his stepmother, and he had a better relationship with his third brother, that he was favored by his father and mother.
However, he thought that his future fate would be nothing more than being used by his parents for marriage, as his family looked down upon Baoer's family background.
He also knew that Bao'er had no romantic feelings for him. If it weren't for this imperial decree, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to get any closer to Bao'er in his lifetime.
So Qingheng swore in his heart that he would spend his whole life loving Baoer. She was the apple of his eye and no one could hurt her.
Just as Qing Heng happily accepted the imperial edict, an angry voice came from the side.
"No, how could the Emperor do this to my Tongjia family? I, the son of a first-class duke, am marrying the daughter of a sixth-rank official. It's fine if she's married, but why is she still a concubine?"
