He Xue looked at the Crown Prince and asked, "Brother Crown Prince, please say what you want to say!"
"Don't see Eighth Brother alone anymore, okay?" The Crown Prince looked at He Xue expectantly.
Why?
"Because he has ulterior motives towards you! And I don't want to see other men around you!"
“Brother Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince has already said that he will marry Tana. He said that what happened yesterday was due to his lack of consideration.”
The Crown Prince felt that He Xue was too easily fooled. He looked at He Xue with affection and said, "You are too trusting of others. I want to keep you by my side at all times to prevent you from being deceived by others!"
"Brother Crown Prince, we're talking about serious matters!" He Xue said, blushing.
"I'm talking about serious business!" the Crown Prince said solemnly.
"I'm ignoring you!" He Xue said coquettishly as she turned away.
"Are you really ignoring your brother, the Crown Prince?" the Crown Prince asked with a smile.
He Xue remained silent, her back to the Crown Prince.
The prince pulled He Xue's hand, trying to make her turn around, but he pulled too hard and He Xue fell directly into the prince's arms.
He Xue's face was pressed against the prince's chest, and He Xue felt a sharp pain from the impact.
He Xue suddenly became somewhat at a loss, not knowing how to get up, and could only grope the prince's arm haphazardly.
The prince felt as if He Xue's hand was setting him on fire; wherever He Xue's hand touched, he felt as if that place was on fire.
"He Xue, do you know you're starting a fire?" the Crown Prince said in a hoarse voice.
"I... I didn't!" He Xue said softly after standing up.
He Xue thought the Crown Prince usually looked quite thin, but she didn't expect him to be so well-built. He really is the type who looks slim in clothes but has muscles underneath. She wondered if the Crown Prince had eight-pack abs. She really wanted to touch them!
Hearing this, the Crown Prince couldn't help but smile. "He Xue, would you like to touch it again?"
He Xue almost blurted out "Okay!" Luckily, she reacted in time, "No!"
The Crown Prince's deep laughter rang out, "After the wedding, you can touch me as you please! If you keep touching me now, I don't know what I might do!"
"Brother Crown Prince, what's gotten into you?" He Xue thought the Crown Prince had become glib and slick.
"What does it look like? Is it what you like?" the prince continued to tease He Xue.
"Brother Crown Prince, if you say that again, I really won't talk to you anymore!" He Xue said with her head down.
"Alright, that's enough!" the Crown Prince said with a smile. "He Xue, your eighth brother might not be the same as you see him. He even told Father Emperor today that he doesn't want to go to Princess Tana's place and wants to annul the engagement!"
The Crown Prince felt that Emperor Kangxi still valued the Eighth Prince. The reason he betrothed Tana to the Eighth Prince was to elevate the Eighth Prince's status. Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince was ungrateful!
"A broken engagement?" He Xue asked in surprise. If Tana was broken off with her engagement by the Eighth Prince and the royal family, what would happen to her? Who would dare to marry her? She would probably have no choice but to become a nun.
"Yes, he knelt at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace the whole time, acting as if he wouldn't get up until his father, the Emperor, agreed!"
I heard that it was Consort Liang who finally managed to take him away! The Crown Prince never expected that the Eighth Prince would be so determined.
"Has the Emperor agreed?" He Xue asked worriedly.
"Of course we won't agree, otherwise how will we explain it to Prince An!" the Crown Prince said.
He Xue was relieved to hear that Kangxi had not agreed to the Eighth Prince's request.
At the same time, he also began to worry about Tana. He wondered if the news of the Eighth Prince's affair in the Qing Palace would get out, and if it did, Tana would probably become the object of ridicule.
Even if it didn't get out, and even if Tana eventually married the Eighth Prince, it's unlikely he would treat her well afterward. Even before things reached that point, Tana's life after marriage was predictable.
