Seeing the Crown Prince leave, He Zhu hurriedly chased after him, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
"Chengqian Palace!" the Crown Prince exclaimed. He was determined to see He Xue even if it meant forcing his way into Chengqian Palace. He would go mad if he didn't find out what was going on!
"Your Highness, it would be better if you didn't go now. Let the princess calm down, and perhaps she will understand!" He Zhu said as he chased after the prince.
The main problem is that Xue Gege just rejected the Crown Prince's letter, and now the Crown Prince is going again. Isn't he obviously going to be turned away? Where will the Crown Prince's face be then?
"Shut up!" The Crown Prince didn't want to listen to He Zhu's chatter in his ear anymore; if he waited any longer, his wife might be gone.
He Zhu awkwardly shut his mouth and hurriedly followed behind the Crown Prince.
Inside Chengqian Palace, He Xue said to Consort Tongjia, "Aunt, I have another question!"
"Tell me about it, and see if your aunt can help you!"
"Alright!" Just as He Xue was about to speak, Ren Dong came in and said to Consort Tongjia, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and wants to see the Princess!"
"Are you ready to see the Crown Prince now?" Consort Tongjia asked.
"No!" He Xue shook her head and said truthfully.
"Ren Dong, let the Crown Prince wait a moment!" Consort Tongjia said to Ren Dong.
"yes!"
After Ren Dong left, Consort Tong Jia said to He Xue, "You don't want to see the Crown Prince, is it related to the question you want to ask?"
"Yes!" Xue replied. "Aunt, am I being a little too spoiled?"
Am I just taking advantage of the Crown Prince's kindness to me to throw a tantrum like this?
If it were anyone else, I doubt anyone would dare refuse to see the Crown Prince.
Consort Tongjia didn't understand why He Xue asked that question. Could it be that someone had said something to He Xue?
"Why do you say that? Did you hear something?"
"No, it just came to my mind suddenly. I have never regarded my elder brother as the Crown Prince, but have always treated him as an elder brother."
Am I being disrespectful to the Crown Prince? Will this implicate you, Father, and Mother in the future?
"The Crown Prince wants to see me? I actually refused. Have I overstepped my bounds?" He Xue said, her head bowed.
"Aunt doesn't know why you have such thoughts, but Aunt doesn't think the Crown Prince would ever think you overstepped your bounds."
The Crown Prince has always regarded you as his sister. Between siblings, there is no need to observe the formalities between ruler and subject. He will tolerate your willfulness and temper just like Jing Shu and Shu Yi!
Your aunt believes that not only the Crown Prince and the First Prince, but also the Third Prince and Yinzhen think so. They've watched you grow up!
"The royal family isn't without human feelings either. Look at me and your uncle, the emperor; I sometimes give him the cold shoulder!" Consort Tongjia patiently said to Xue.
"Why don't you go and ask the Crown Prince yourself and see what he has to say!" Consort Tongjia suggested.
He Xue thought for a moment, "Alright then, Aunt, I'll go see my brother, the Crown Prince, now!"
Consort Tongjia nodded and watched He Xue leave. She still didn't believe that He Xue would think of these things for no reason, and decided to have someone investigate thoroughly. Only in this way could she feel at ease.
The Crown Prince was truly restless, unsure if He Xue would see him. He nervously glanced towards the door.
He decided that if He Xue did not see him, he would come to Chengqian Palace every day until He Xue saw him.
Hearing footsteps, the Crown Prince looked up and saw He Xue walk in. She came up to him and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Get up! Why are you being so distant with your Crown Prince brother?" The Crown Prince personally stepped forward to help He Xue up. It seemed that He Xue was really angry, otherwise why would she call him Your Highness the Crown Prince? She used to always call him Crown Prince brother.
"The rules of etiquette must not be disregarded!" He Xue said solemnly. "Your Highness, please be seated!" He Xue said to the Crown Prince standing in front of her.
The last thing the Crown Prince wants to hear right now is "Your Highness the Crown Prince." It's fine when others call him that, but why does Xue call him that make him feel so uncomfortable!
"Your Highness, this humble woman..."
"He Xue, do you really have to be so distant with your Crown Prince brother?" the Crown Prince asked, looking at He Xue. Why is even a subject like me getting involved?
The Crown Prince alone was already making him feel uncomfortable, and now this court lady has come. Is she trying to distance herself from him?
