"Who said the Crown Princess has to tolerate a constant stream of women around the Crown Prince!"
The Emperor is speaking kindly to us now because of my brother, but if you ruin the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, the Emperor will not hesitate to deal with you.
Moreover, the Crown Princess comes from a prominent family, and the Crown Prince wouldn't dare to embarrass her. Xu Yun really wanted to crack open Xu Yan's head to see if she had lost her mind along the way, how could she say such a brainless thing!
“Even if it wasn’t me, someone else would have appeared by the Crown Prince’s side. Does the Crown Princess have to be wary of everyone? Besides, I’m different to the Crown Prince!” Xu Yan spoke with a sense of superiority.
"What's different about you? Do you have three eyes or four legs?" Xu Yun said irritably.
"The Crown Prince saved my life; I can only repay this debt of gratitude with my body!"
"Sister, have you forgotten what the Crown Prince said back then? It was his subordinate who saved you. If you want to repay the favor, you should find that person!"
Moreover, if people adopt your view that saving someone requires repaying them with one's body, then probably no one will dare to save people in the future.
"Because this isn't repaying a debt of gratitude, it's pure ingratitude, destroying the relationship between the couple!" Xu Yun scoffed at Xu Yan's words.
"I did this just so that my sisters and I could have a better life in the future. Once we get close to the Crown Prince, no one will dare to look down on us!" Xu Yan said with righteous indignation.
"You don't need to find such a high-sounding excuse for your thoughts."
Since you want to give us a guarantee, I think you should just go to the palace.
Out of consideration for your brother and adoptive father, the Emperor will definitely not give you a low rank. You will definitely be the head of a palace. If you gain more favor, your rank can be promoted. What if you have a child? You might even be able to take over the position of Crown Prince. Then you will be the Empress Dowager.
So you'd be better off being the crown prince's mother than marrying him! The crown prince would even have to bow to you!
Moreover, the Emperor is only in his forties now; he's older and knows how to care for people! Xu Yun felt more and more that this made sense.
Xu Yan, however, looked at Xu Yun with a gloomy face and said, "You don't understand me at all. I'm just repaying the Crown Prince for saving my life!"
"You don't understand me at all. I've already told you that it wasn't the Crown Prince who saved you. You've chosen the wrong person to repay your debt of gratitude!"
"I think I'll go find the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams). You can go find him too; maybe he'll understand you!" Xu Yun yawned and went to sleep, leaving Xu Yan alone in a daze.
Xu Yan watched Xu Yun's retreating figure and murmured to herself, "How come even you don't understand me!"
The Crown Prince currently only has the Crown Princess by his side. With Suo'etu's backing, she could very well marry the Crown Prince.
Soetu had previously approached her and clearly told her that her identity had been prepared for her, and that she would have to fight for what she wanted herself.
She knew that Suo'etu's adoption of the sisters as goddaughters was not simply out of admiration, but rather an attempt to use them to strengthen his relationship with the Crown Prince and to win over the forces in Jiangnan for the Crown Prince.
She recognized Songgotu as her godfather only to change her Han Chinese identity; her relationship with Songgotu was merely a matter of mutual benefit.
Since that's the case, she wants to maximize her own interests. She is confident that she can outshine He Xue, so she must seize the opportunity to become the Crown Prince's woman. Although she is not the most honored woman by the Crown Prince's side, she will be the Crown Prince's favorite woman.
