He Xue heard footsteps and felt that someone was coming in. She was still wondering why no one had come in for so long. It seemed that she and the Crown Prince had not yet held their wedding ceremony.
Moreover, she felt that the surroundings were too quiet and there was no wedding atmosphere at all. She felt dizzy all the time. Could it be that you get dizzy when you ride in a sedan chair?
He Xue suddenly felt a bright light in her eyes. It turned out that her veil had been lifted. She looked up at the person in front of her and stared in alarm. The person in front of her was not the Crown Prince, but the Eighth Prince.
He Xue looked at the Eighth Prince warily, "How did you end up here?"
The Eighth Prince smiled and said affectionately, "On our wedding night, if I'm not here, where should I be?"
He Xue looked around. "Isn't this Yuqing Palace?"
"Of course not Yuqing Palace. One day I will let you return to Yuqing Palace, but you will come back to Yuqing Palace with me!" The Eighth Prince said with anticipation in his eyes.
He Xue tried to stand up, but her legs went weak and she almost fell. "What did you do to me?" she asked.
"He Xue, I won't hurt you. I just don't want you to leave, so there's some sleeping potion in the room!"
"If the Crown Prince finds out, he won't let you off!" He Xue said, looking at the Eighth Prince with disgust.
The Eighth Prince said dismissively, "So what if he finds out? By the time he finds out, we'll already be in the bridal chamber! Do you want him to witness our wedding night?"
"Shameless!" If looks could kill, the Eighth Prince would have been torn to pieces by He Xue.
"Heh!" The Eighth Prince looked at He Xue indifferently. "Shameless? I have even more shameless tricks up my sleeve. Want to try?"
He Xue leaned back forcefully, looking at the Eighth Prince uneasily, afraid that he might do something.
The Eighth Prince came to the table, picked up the wine pot, poured two cups of wine, and then handed one cup to He Xue.
He Xue turned her head away from the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince smiled and said with an ambiguous look, "He Xue, this is our nuptial wine. If you don't want to drink it yourself, I don't mind feeding you in another way!"
"You dare?" He Xue's face turned bright red, whether from embarrassment or anger.
"Why don't you give it a try!" the Eighth Prince said to He Xue.
When the Eighth Prince handed the wine cup to He Xue again, He Xue reluctantly took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"He Xue, I'm sorry you had to go through this. Don't worry, I will definitely make it up to you with a grand wedding later!" The Eighth Prince came to He Xue.
"What are you going to do?" He Xue leaned back repeatedly.
"He Xue, don't be afraid! It would be easy for them to do anything to you, wouldn't it? You can't escape anyway!" The Eighth Prince stroked He Xue's face with his hand.
He Xue turned her face away in disgust.
The Eighth Prince smiled nonchalantly, then took He Xue's hand and looked at the ring on her finger. "Did the Crown Prince give you this? I saw that the Crown Prince has one too!"
Before He Xue could even speak, the Eighth Prince took the ring off He Xue's hand, looked at it, and then threw it on the ground, whereupon the ring shattered instantly.
"It's really flimsy! I'll send you another one another day, okay?"
He Xue, I know you like jade, so I've collected a lot of jade items for you. I'll take you to see them tomorrow!
Since you enjoy good food, I've prepared several chefs for you in this estate. I've found them from various places. See if their cooking suits your taste. If not, I'll change it for you!
He Xue, whatever you like, I'll prepare it for you!
Tell me, what else do you like?
"I like you to stay away from me!" Kazuyuki said hatefully.
"He Xue, you're still as funny as ever!" the Eighth Prince said with a smile.
"He Xue, when I first met you, I felt like you were a lamp illuminating my path."
People in the palace look down on me, but you don't. You said I should smile more, that I look good when I smile, so I've made the look you like onto my face.
Everyone says I have a gentle and refined demeanor, but they don't know why I can maintain this appearance—because you like it.
I tried so hard to get closer to you, but I found that no matter what I did, you only had eyes for the Crown Prince. You would call him Crown Prince Brother. I also wanted you to call me Eighth Brother, but you never did.
"He Xue, tell me what I did wrong, and I'll change. Can you stay by my side?" the Eighth Prince said, holding He Xue's hand.
"Eighth Prince, I was betrothed to the Crown Prince by the Emperor. Do you think I can stay by your side? What status would I have to stay by your side?" He Xue could only suppress her anger and say this in order to buy time.
