"Eighth Prince, I forgot to congratulate you! I hope you and Tana will live happily ever after!" He Xue was talking to herself.
"He Xue, that's not what I meant!" the Eighth Prince hurriedly explained. "He Xue, I don't want to marry Princess Tana. It was Father Emperor who arranged this marriage for me!"
I've never even met Princess Tana. I want to marry someone I love!
He Xue was somewhat confused by the Eighth Prince. If he didn't like Tana, why did he agree to the marriage when Emperor Kangxi bestowed it upon him? Now he was saying such things. What would happen to Tana if the Eighth Prince broke off the engagement?
"Eighth Prince, since you have accepted the Emperor's bestowed marriage, it means you agree to marry Tana. Now you are saying such things. Do you want to annul the engagement? What will Tana do if the royal family annuls the engagement?"
He Xue felt truly sorry for Tana. Did the Eighth Prince really only use Tana?
"That's not what I meant. I can marry Tana, but she can only be my concubine. I want to marry the person I love as my primary wife!"
"He Xue, the person I like is you. I came here today specifically to give you this jade pendant in person. Please accept this jade pendant. Don't you and Tana know each other? You two will get along very well in the future!" The Eighth Prince looked at He Xue expectantly.
He Xue almost choked on her own saliva. The Eighth Prince really has a dream come true!
"I am not worthy of the Eighth Prince's kindness. You should give this jade pendant to whoever you wish to give it to!" He Xue directly refused the Eighth Prince.
"He Xue, why? Tell me why?" The Eighth Prince looked at He Xue with a hurt expression, as if He Xue was the heartless person who had started the affair and then abandoned her.
"There's no reason why! Eighth Prince, since you've agreed to marry Tana, I hope you'll treat her well in the future."
Marriage is a gamble for women; if they win, it's a blessing in life; if they lose, it's a complete loss.
Tana has staked her entire life on this, and I don't want her to lose everything before the game even begins! Yuki truly felt sorry for Tana.
"Is it because of Tana that you refused to marry Xue? I'm going to find Father Emperor right now and beg him to cancel my marriage with Tana!"
Looking at the Eighth Prince's almost frantic state, He Xue felt that he was somewhat paranoid.
Qingdai had already stood in front of Hexue, worried that the Eighth Prince might do something to Hexue.
“Eighth Prince, it has nothing to do with anyone else. Why should I marry you just because you say so?” He Xue retorted, probably because the Eighth Prince was after the military power held by her father.
"He Xue, do you also look down on my background? Otherwise, why are you unwilling?" the Eighth Prince asked painfully. "I always thought you were different from them!"
"Why is He Xue unwilling? I can tell you!" The Crown Prince approached He Xue, took her hand, and said coldly, "Because she will be your second sister-in-law in the future!"
If it weren't for the fact that the Eighth Prince was his younger brother, the Crown Prince would have beaten him so badly that even his own father wouldn't recognize him. How dare he steal his man? He's courting death.
"Brother Crown Prince, what brings you here?" He Xue asked in surprise.
"I heard you left the palace, so I came to see you!" The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with tenderness, and then glared at the Eighth Prince. Luckily he came, otherwise he would not have known that his eighth brother had such thoughts.
Xiao Ba probably harbored ill intentions towards He Xue for a long time. When he was little, he always liked to hang around He Xue. He never expected that such a young child would have such thoughts. He was truly impressed.
With red eyes, the Eighth Prince watched as He Xue let the Crown Prince hold her hand. "He Xue, is it because my background is not as good as Second Brother's that you refuse?"
“Eighth Prince, one’s birth cannot be changed, but if you don’t respect yourself, how can you expect others to respect you? You’ve already belittled yourself, so you can’t blame others!” He Xue said kindly to the Eighth Prince.
"Don't waste your breath on him, go back quickly, leave this to your brother, the Crown Prince!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue.
“Okay!” He Xue replied.
Suddenly, the prince slipped something into He Xue's hand.
