He Xue didn't hide anything, "I heard Consort Hui and my aunt saying that it's time to find a wife for my eldest brother, so that he can settle down!"
"Huh?" The eldest brother looked miserable. He didn't want anyone to keep him in check! He still wanted to go to the battlefield and earn merit!
"Congratulations, elder brother!" the Third Prince said jokingly.
"Go...go away!" the eldest prince said, his face flushed.
"I never expected my elder brother to be shy. It's truly a rare sight!" the Crown Prince said.
"I'm not shy! I'm just hot!" the eldest prince argued, raising his neck to defend himself. How could he do something so shameful in front of his younger siblings!
"Brother, it's only natural to get married when you reach a certain age. What's there to be ashamed of!"
"What will happen to your younger brother if you don't marry him?" The Crown Prince seemed to be comforting the eldest prince, but it actually felt like he was adding fuel to the fire!
"Hmph! I think you're just too anxious!" The eldest prince rolled his eyes at the crown prince.
"I...I'm not in a hurry!" the Crown Prince said with a slight smile.
"He Xue, is your elder brother good to you?" The eldest prince looked at He Xue.
"Hmm... okay!" Kazuyuki said, pretending to think.
"You actually need to think about it!" The eldest prince looked at He Xue and hesitated for a moment before speaking, then gently flicked He Xue's forehead.
"Brother, be careful! You're hitting too hard!" Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince immediately pulled He Xue in front of him and looked at her forehead.
"Second Prince, He Xue isn't that delicate!" The eldest prince couldn't stand the crown prince's overreaction.
“Brother, He Xue is a girl, very delicate! She'll blush if you touch her even lightly!” the Crown Prince said seriously.
"Crown Prince, you didn't use any force, I'm not in pain!" He Xue felt it was necessary to defend the eldest prince.
"Look, even Xue said that! You're making a mountain out of a molehill!" the eldest prince said to the crown prince with dissatisfaction.
The Crown Prince was too lazy to pay attention to the First Prince. If he said another word, the First Prince would continue arguing with him.
"Big brother, did you have something to say just now?" He Xue asked.
"Yes, He Xue, if you hear anything else in the future, be sure to tell your older brother immediately, and he will buy you delicious food!" the eldest prince said to He Xue.
"Okay, no problem!" He Xue patted her chest and assured her.
"Your elder brother's love for you was not in vain!" the eldest prince said with satisfaction.
At this moment, He Zhu also bought back He Xue's candied hawthorns.
When He Xue saw the candied hawthorn, her eyes lit up.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue and said with concern, "Don't eat too much, it's almost time to eat!" He remembered that He Xue had eaten a bowl of wontons in Chengqian Palace!
"Okay, I understand!" He Xue readily agreed.
The Crown Prince was worried about He Xue. While talking to the three princes, he kept an eye on He Xue. After He Xue finished eating one skewer, he had the rest taken away.
"Crown Prince!" He Xue pouted and looked at the Crown Prince with dissatisfaction.
"You can't eat today, or your stomach will hurt!" the prince said, unmoved.
He Xue knew that the Crown Prince would not compromise, so she could only hide her aggrieved expression.
Seeing how quickly He Xue's expression changed, the Crown Prince knew that He Xue thought he would soften his heart and that's why she was acting this way. He had also made a great effort to refuse He Xue.
After the meal, the three princes did not rush back, but continued to sit together and chat.
After thinking it over, the Crown Prince told the Fourth Prince about his encounter with Consort De that day. He felt that Consort De would definitely not let it go and might even go to the Fourth Prince in person.
He didn't believe that Consort De had any maternal affection for the Fourth Prince; she was merely trying to use him to gain the Emperor's attention.
So he told the Fourth Prince in advance so that he could be mentally prepared and figure out how to deal with Consort De.
