“They probably won’t agree!” the Crown Prince said with absolute certainty, then smiled slyly. “We’ll act first and report later. While He Zhu goes to ask for leave, we’ll set off!”
He Xue said happily, "Okay, we need to let Father Emperor know that you've been wronged and that it's not so easy to appease him!"
Looking at Xue's childish expression, the Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh and say, "You've been wronged. Isn't it hard for your father-in-law to appease you too?"
"No, because no one would let me suffer!" Xue said, her eyes shining.
The Crown Prince smiled silently. "Indeed, how could anyone let you suffer? You're meant to be pampered!"
“Brother Crown Prince, I know you don’t want me to be implicated because of you, but we are husband and wife. No matter what happens in the future, I will stay with you through thick and thin.”
If you succeed, I'll watch you rule the world; if you fail, I'll be there to help you rise again!
"When disaster strikes, birds fly away, not people," He Xue said with a firm look in her eyes.
The prince's lips curled into a bitter smile. "If I lose, there will be no chance for me to rise again!"
"Once you've married me, you can't stand idly by and live in fear!"
Who can truly feel at ease about a former deposed crown prince? Historical records show that deposed crown princes never met a good end.
“Brother Crown Prince, I’m not afraid. In this life, we are destined to be with someone through thick and thin, and that person is you. So I have nothing to fear!” He Xue hugged the Crown Prince tightly and buried her head in his arms.
He Xue felt the Crown Prince chuckle softly a few times, and sighed gently, "It's so good to have you here!"
He Xue didn't speak, but hugged the Crown Prince even tighter. [If the Crown Prince doesn't become the Crown Prince, then whoever becomes the Crown Prince shouldn't make things difficult for him, except for the Eighth Prince, of course.]
The eldest brother likes to lead troops into battle, the third brother is obsessed with learning, the fifth and seventh princes are not likely to become the crown prince, the ninth prince is obsessed with business, the tenth prince is like the eldest brother, as for the later princes, none of them are quite suitable, and now it seems that the fourth prince is the most suitable.
If my elder brother, the Crown Prince, no longer becomes the Crown Prince, then my fourth brother won't make things difficult for him!
After listening to He Xue's analysis, the Crown Prince felt that He Xue's words were not without reason. "It seems that only the Fourth Brother and the Eighth Brother are the most suitable, but if the Eighth Brother succeeds to the throne, not only will he have no way out, but I'm afraid the other brothers will not have a good end either!"
No matter what, I will not easily give up the throne. A resolute glint flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes.
From the moment he was born, everyone said he was destined to be emperor, and for so many years he was groomed to be the crown prince. How could he give up so easily?
This incident served as a wake-up call for him. The relationship between him and his father, the Emperor, was first that of ruler and subject, then father and son. He had to be careful in the future because he was not only himself, but also had many others behind him.
"Brother Crown Prince, Lady Suo'etu will be visiting Yuqing Palace tomorrow!" He Xue said to the Crown Prince.
"It's alright, we'll set off once they leave!" the Crown Prince said.
“Okay!” He Xue replied.
Since Suo'etu decided to adopt Xu Yan and Xu Yun as his goddaughters, he has already brought them back to his residence.
Soetu specially hired a governess to teach Xu Yan and Xu Yun rules and etiquette.
After washing up, Xu Yun prepared to go to bed. She was exhausted after a long day and hadn't expected the Manchus to have so many rules and etiquette.
Now that they have become Suo'etu's adopted daughters, they will try their best to do well and not bring shame to Suo'etu or their brother.
When Xu Yun returned to the bedroom, she saw Xu Yan still choosing clothes and jewelry to wear the next day.
"Sister, aren't you going to rest? You've been picking out these things for ages!" Xu Yun asked.
Xu Yan put down the clothes in her hands, turned to look at Xu Yun, and said, "We're going to the palace to see the Crown Prince tomorrow. Aren't you excited?"
Xu Yun looked at Xu Yan in confusion, "Sister, we clearly went to see the Crown Princess, don't get it wrong. Besides, why should I be excited? Does the Crown Prince have three eyes or does the Crown Princess have three eyes?"
[Talking to a brick wall!] Xu Yan looked at Xu Yun speechlessly: "It's true that we're going to pay our respects to the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince will definitely see us too, because my brother has rendered great service to the Qing Dynasty!"
Seeing Xu Yan's lovesick look, Xu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Sister, I advise you to put down these inappropriate thoughts, otherwise even if your brother has done great service to the Qing Dynasty, he can't save you!"
"What thoughts were on my mind?" Xu Yan said, blushing and denying it.
“Your thoughts are practically written all over your face! Wouldn’t it be better if you just behaved yourself? With your brother’s contributions and your godfather’s protection, we can easily establish ourselves in the capital,” Xu Yun said earnestly.
“You don’t understand!” Xu Yan shook her head and said.
"I don't understand, but you do! The Crown Prince is already married, and he treats his wife very well. Why do you have to try to ruin it? We're all women, why should women make things difficult for each other!"
Do you enjoy seeing other women around your husband?
“But he is the Crown Prince, and he is destined to have many women in the future. If the Crown Princess doesn’t even have this much tolerance, how can she assist the Crown Prince?” Xu Yan argued logically.
