"Your Highness, I did not bully He Xue!" Rou Ze's eyes had been following the Crown Prince ever since he appeared, but he didn't even glance at her, only focusing on talking to He Xue.
The Crown Prince looked at Rouze with displeasure. "Why is she acting all wronged? Shouldn't it be He Xue who should be feeling wronged?"
Rouze saw the Crown Prince looking at her, and looked at him with teary eyes, her gaze filled with restraint, strength, and joy.
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince couldn't understand the meaning in Rouze's eyes. He only saw that Rouze was deliberately pretending to be pitiful. "I'm not deaf or blind! You were just targeting Hexue. I'm only giving you one chance. Don't blame me for being ruthless next time!"
"Your Highness..." Rouze's voice was full of tender emotions and affection!
"Shut up! It's like you're calling out to a ghost, it's giving me goosebumps!" the eldest prince said, rubbing his arm.
"Don't let anyone bully you again. Do whatever you want, and your Crown Prince brother will take care of everything!"
"If Father Emperor and Mother Tong find out that you were bullied, they will definitely blame us for not protecting you well!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue.
"I understand!" He Xue replied obediently.
Everyone's understanding of He Xue has been refreshed once again. It seems that Su He Tai's daughter is really favored by the Crown Prince. Didn't you see that the Crown Prince came to support him personally?
Since everyone here was a woman, the Crown Prince and his entourage did not linger. After instructing He Xue and exchanging a few words with Lady Tongjia, the First Madam, and Lady Tongjia, they left.
Rouze's eyes followed the Crown Prince the whole time, but he didn't even glance at her until he left. She felt it was all Hexue's fault, otherwise how could the Crown Prince not have noticed her! Therefore, she held a grudge against Hexue.
Looking at Lady Ulanara and her daughter Rouze, Madam Tongjia really wanted to have them thrown out, but since they were there to celebrate her birthday, she couldn't go too far and had to endure it.
He Xue glanced at Rou Ze and couldn't understand how Rou Ze, who looked like this, could make Da Pang Ju so unforgettable and even look for so many related items.
Rou still managed to ruin her grandmother's birthday banquet. If she falls into her hands again, we'll settle all our old and new scores together.
That day, Su Hetai suddenly asked Madam Tongjia, "Madam, Hexue hasn't been going out much these past few days. Is she rushing to embroider? Tell her not to rush, to embroider slowly, and not to ruin her eyes!"
Seeing Su Hetai's happy expression, Tongjia couldn't bear to dampen his spirits. However, she had already asked Hexue and confirmed that the gift wasn't for Su Hetai. She had been so busy these past few days that she had forgotten to tell him.
Adhering to the principle of cutting the Gordian knot and that a short pain is worse than a long one, she decided to tell Su Hetai the truth. She was also curious about Su Hetai's expression when he found out.
"Um...Master, He Xue has finished embroidering!"
"Really? So fast! No wonder you're my daughter, Suhetai!" Suhetai didn't notice the hesitation in Tongjia's eyes.
"Master, I've already asked, and He Xue said it's intended as a gift for the Crown Prince!" Madam Tongjia said in one breath, then looked at Su Hetai.
Suhetai's expression froze, and he asked incredulously, "Madam, you're not mistaken, are you?"
Tongjia nodded, "There's no mistake, I asked He Xue myself!"
After listening, Suhetai started pacing around the room. He would raise his hand, open his mouth, and then close it again, putting his hand down. He would try to say something, but then remain silent and continue pacing around the room.
Finally, it was Lady Tongjia who said, "Master, please stop spinning me, it's making me dizzy!"
Su Hetai was furious. Why should his daughter's first hand-embroidered item be given to the Crown Prince? How dare the Crown Prince have such a big face!
His cabbages haven't even grown yet, how come they've already got their eyes on them!
“Don’t let He Xue come to the palace so often in the future. I think the Crown Prince has ulterior motives! He actually has designs on my daughter, Su Hetai!” Su Hetai scolded the Crown Prince.
"Master, didn't you praise the Crown Prince yesterday?" Tongjia said unkindly.
“Yesterday is yesterday, today is today!” Suhetai said.
“I will tell my sister to reduce Hexue’s visits to the palace. Hexue is getting older, and it’s not good for her to keep going to the palace!” said Lady Tongjia.
“That’s right!” Su Hetai had never dared to think about He Xue getting married, but as He Xue grew up, he had to face this issue.
