Ye Chen was on the horse at the very front.
Sezhuo lifted the carriage curtain.
He shouted something.
"Stop for a moment."
The line quickly came to a stop.
Seydoux jumped off the carriage.
Ye Chen also dismounted.
"What brings you here, Princess?"
"Your Highness, there is something I want to tell you."
"Please speak, Princess."
"It's too crowded here, let's talk over there."
"good."
Ye Qianqian kept a close eye on their movements.
The two walked to a patch of flowers.
Ye Chen asked Sai Zhuo.
"What brings you here, Princess?"
"Hmm—Your Highness, Third Prince, I want to ask you, why did you step in to stop Xue Qing?"
Ye Chen didn't expect Sai Zhuo to ask this question.
"Because I know Xue Qing's character very well, he ultimately doesn't want the princess to suffer."
"Just because of that?"
"I don't understand what the princess means—"
"I want to ask you, isn't it because you like me that you're doing this?"
Ye Chen was taken aback.
"Princess--"
"Alright, then I'll tell you!"
Saizhuo said very seriously.
"I've liked you ever since I came to the Great Yuan last year. This martial arts contest to find a husband was something I deliberately set up. I just wanted to see what you would do if you saw someone else about to beat me!"
Ye Chen was stunned.
“Princess, you—you shouldn’t have done this.”
"You are a princess of the grasslands, of noble birth. How can you lower yourself like this?"
"Are you saying that holding a martial arts contest to find a husband is lowering your standards? Or are you saying that falling in love with you is lowering your standards?"
"This is naturally the former."
Seido smiled.
"I thought you would say the latter."
"So, you still haven't answered my question from earlier: what were your reasons for preventing Xue Qing from winning?"
Ye Chen didn't expect Sai Zhuo to be so blunt.
Seju saw that he didn't answer.
Then he said.
"I have always acted on impulse."
"Just like Sister Lan Zhuo and Sister Tao Zhuo, if you like someone, you like them."
"I don't want to be as reserved as women from the Central Plains, liking someone but not saying it for so long!"
"I've been able to hold back for a year before saying it, and that's already my limit!"
"Today, I must get an answer!"
"Your Highness, what are your feelings for me?"
"If there's even a little bit of liking, then we can spend more time together to cultivate our relationship. But if, like you did with Sister Tao Zhuo, you don't like her at first sight, then I won't bother you anymore."
Ye Chen was indeed stumped by this question.
Ye Qianqian, on the other hand, was getting anxious!
"Third brother, Sai Zhuo has been so straightforward, so you must not beat around the bush. You must just say what you really think!"
"If you like something, you like it; if you don't like something, you don't like it. Don't ruin your own happiness, and don't ruin Seju's happiness either!"
Ye Chen recalled the first time he met Sai Zhuo.
At that time, she was just a little girl.
This is her now.
She has grown into a graceful young woman.
Do you like her?
Ye Chen asked himself this question.
like.
But at first, she really did like her as much as her grandmother liked her, just like she liked her own younger sister.
Is it still like this now?
"I have no idea."
Ye Chen said.
All I can say is that I don't dislike it.
“Oh, so that means I still have a chance!” Seido said.
"Then I will stay in Dayuan. I'll give you a month. If after a month you still have no feelings for me, then I will leave."
"I think a month is a long time. If we can't even develop a little bit of liking for each other, then it's really impossible!"
So, are you willing?
Ye Chen nodded.
"willing."
Ye Qianqian heard this.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Sejuani's performance today was truly astonishing.
My third brother has grown up like this.
This isn't the first time someone has confessed their feelings to me.
If you really don't like it.
Then it will be explained very clearly from the beginning.
Unless there's even a tiny bit of liking, I won't reject someone right away.
Third Brother is not the type of person who likes to keep a backup plan.
Third brother isn't a player; he's not that bad when it comes to relationships.
so.
It was already beyond my expectations that my third brother was able to take this step.
It's very difficult to go from 0 to 100 in a relationship.
But going from 1 to 100 isn't that difficult either.
It's possible that you can get a perfect score in just one day.
Sai Zhuo happily took Ye Chen's arm.
"Then let's ride back together, I won't take the carriage!"
"Um!"
“But we don’t have enough horses. How about you and I share one?” Ye Chen asked.
"OK!"
Sezhuo nodded.
The two of them then rode together on a horse.
Ye Qianqian nodded in satisfaction as she watched this scene.
"Very good, very good!"
"What was that saying again?!"
"I want to accompany you through this mortal world, galloping on horseback!"
Seju naturally leaned on Ye Chen's shoulder.
Ye Chen held the reins in his hand.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
After returning to the palace.
Ye Chen told the Imperial Noble Consort about what had happened that day.
"Mother, I don't know what this feeling is like."
"My heart was racing when I was with Seydoux today."
