"Your Majesty, you don't need to be too sad. You have far more daughters than I do. I only have one daughter, Xue!" Su Hetai wanted to comfort Kangxi, but he felt that he was the most pitiful one.
"What's wrong with a man always acting like this?" Kangxi said impatiently. He had never acted like this when he was trying to please the women in his harem.
"This servant is heartbroken!" Suhetai said sorrowfully.
The Crown Prince wanted to express his feelings, "General, rest assured, I will definitely treat He Xue well!"
Suhetai looked at the Crown Prince and felt even worse.
"Baocheng, don't provoke him!" Kangxi was worried that the Crown Prince might really anger Suhetai to the point of death.
The crown prince could only stand quietly to the side.
"Your Majesty, this servant takes his leave!" Suhetai did not want to see the Crown Prince at this moment.
"Go back quickly!" Kangxi wished Suhetai would disappear from his sight immediately.
After Suhetai left, Kangxi said to the Crown Prince, "Baocheng, Suhetai has agreed to your marriage with Hexue!"
"Your Majesty, I thank you!" The Crown Prince felt that this was the happiest moment he had experienced in his twenty-odd years.
"This servant congratulates Your Highness the Crown Prince! I must ask for a cup of celebratory wine at the time!" Liang Jiugong said to the Crown Prince.
"Thank you, Eunuch Liang! There will be plenty of wine for the wedding!" the Crown Prince said with a smile.
"Father, your son and Hexue will definitely take good care of you!"
"No need. You should just be filial to Suhetai and make sure he doesn't cause me any more trouble in the future!" Kangxi really didn't want to face Suhetai anymore.
Seeing Kangxi's lingering fear, the Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh.
When Su Hetai returned to the General's Mansion, Madam Tongjia noticed that something was wrong with him. "Master, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I'm just heartbroken!" Su Hetai said.
When Tongjia heard this, she was terrified. She ordered someone to summon Jingshu and Shuyi, and then sent someone to find a doctor.
"No need to see a doctor, Madam, no doctor can cure my illness!" Su Hetai said sadly. "The Emperor gave me two choices: one is for He Xue to marry the Crown Prince, and the other is for He Xue to marry into Mongolia! I can only choose the first one!"
After hearing this, Tongjia looked at Su Hetai with annoyance, "Can't you just finish what you were saying all at once! You scared me to death!"
"Mother, what happened to Father?" Jing Shu and Shu Yi ran over immediately after hearing the news.
"It's nothing! Just a false alarm!" said Madam Tongjia.
"Father, what's wrong? You look like a wilted eggplant!" Shuyi asked.
“Shuyi must not be disrespectful to elders!” Jing Shu said.
"Understood, elder brother!" Shuyi replied.
"The Emperor told your father that he intends to betroth He Xue to the Crown Prince!" said Lady Tongjia.
"Huh? What? Why does He Xue want to marry the Crown Prince?" Shu Yi asked in surprise.
He and his cronies had discussed why the Crown Prince hadn't married yet. They all thought the Crown Prince must have some hidden illness, so how could he let He Xue marry the Crown Prince?
"Father, Mother, the Crown Prince hasn't married in so long, there must be something wrong. We can't just watch our little sister jump into a fire pit!"
"The Emperor gave your father two choices: one is for Xue to marry the Crown Prince, and the other is for Xue to marry into Mongolia!" Lady Tongjia was speechless at her cousin, the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a threat?" Shuyi said indignantly.
"Why does His Majesty want my younger sister to marry the Crown Prince? Is my younger sister willing to marry the Crown Prince?" Shuyi asked.
"The Emperor said that the Living Buddha said that He Xue and the Crown Prince are a match made in heaven!" When the Living Buddha was mentioned, Su Hetai wished he could beat him up to vent his anger.
"What kind of damned Living Buddha is this? He's really causing trouble! Does he mean my little sister has to marry the Crown Prince just because of one sentence?" Shuyi said angrily, determined not to let him see that Living Buddha, or he would definitely make him pay.
"Shuyi, you can't speak so recklessly in the future!" Jing Shu admonished Shuyi.
"I understand, brother!" Shuyi said, knowing she was in the wrong. "Is there really no way to resolve this matter?"
“It must be very difficult!” Jing Shu said. He didn’t understand why the Crown Prince insisted on marrying He Xue. Was it just because of a word from the Living Buddha?
He felt there was something they didn't know. Had the Crown Prince remained unmarried all these years to wait for He Xue? Could there be such a devoted person in the royal family? The Aisin Gioro family is known for its romantic figures; could it be that this generation's romantic talent has fallen to the Crown Prince? This is certainly not a good thing for He Xue!
