"Your Highness..."
"Don't call me Your Highness, call me Crown Prince Brother!" The last thing the Crown Prince wanted to hear right now was "Your Highness," and Xue's way of calling him that made her feel uncomfortable.
He Xue was taken aback. She didn't understand why the Crown Prince was so insistent on a particular title. In order not to waste time on this, she could only obediently agree.
"Okay, Crown Prince!"
The crown prince finally felt comfortable and looked at He Xue with satisfaction.
He Xue didn't say anything else and went straight to the point, "Brother Crown Prince, when I went to Yuqing Palace to look for you before, I heard you talking to someone else."
I didn't eavesdrop on intentionally. What I heard made me feel good, and I don't know how to face my brother, the Crown Prince. So I want him to give me an explanation!
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue nervously. He was unsure what He Xue had heard. What if He Xue heard him say that he wanted to marry her? Would He Xue think he had ulterior motives?
And most importantly, will He Xue be frightened by his ideas? After all, He Xue is still a child.
"He Xue, can you tell your brother, the Crown Prince, what did you hear?" the Crown Prince asked, trying to calm himself down.
"Is it really because of my father that my brother, the Crown Prince, is so good to me?" He Xue finally asked the question that had been bothering her for so long.
"That's it?" The crown prince suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Mm!" He Xue nodded.
"You left after hearing that?"
"Um!"
The Crown Prince sighed helplessly, "Next time, just tell your brother Crown Prince directly if anything happens, don't keep it bottled up inside!"
"Brother Crown Prince, you still haven't answered me?" He Xue felt that the Crown Prince was deliberately changing the subject.
“He Xue, remember this well: I’m nice to you only because you are He Xue, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. I’m not deliberately getting close to you just because your father holds military power!”
I may need some means and assistance to consolidate my position in the future, but I will never take advantage of you!
"I will always be your Crown Prince brother, always have been, and will never change!" The Crown Prince came to He Xue, half-squatting down and looking directly into He Xue's eyes as he spoke.
He Xue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable under the Crown Prince's gaze and quickly lowered her head. However, after hearing the Crown Prince's explanation, she was finally relieved and said, "I understand!"
The Crown Prince ruffled He Xue's hair. "Now you're not angry with your Crown Prince brother, are you?"
"I'm not angry at all!" He Xue said awkwardly, turning her head away. "I'm just afraid that my brother, the Crown Prince, won't be the person I know anymore!"
"Alright, He Xue isn't angry. She's been very magnanimous," the Crown Prince said, coaxing He Xue.
"He Xue, in front of you, the Crown Prince will always be the Crown Prince you want to be, and that will never change!"
"If you have any questions in the future, just ask your brother the Crown Prince directly. Don't ignore him!" The Crown Prince didn't want to go through that again.
"Hmm!" He Xue looked at the Crown Prince. "Crown Prince, you want to see me, but I won't see you. Am I being disrespectful to you? Am I being ungrateful?"
He Xue waited anxiously for the Crown Prince's answer. Her education and way of looking at problems were different from those of the people here, so her approach to problems was different.
She has always been cautious in her words and actions, trying her best to integrate into this era, but unexpectedly, problems still arose.
"Why would you ask that? Did someone say something to you?" the Crown Prince asked, wondering if someone had said something to He Xue.
He Xue was speechless. Why were Consort Tongjia and the Crown Prince asking the same questions? Was this the difference between her and the people of this era?
"No one said anything to me, it was all my own thinking. I was ignoring it before. Was I being disrespectful to you?" He Xue nervously twisted her fingers.
"Whether it's your own wild imagination or what others say, your Crown Prince brother will never use rules to restrain you."
If I really cared about these things, I wouldn't be here today.
You are none other than He Xue, the Crown Prince's favorite He Xue. Those rules are meaningless in front of you! You don't need to abide by those miscellaneous rules.
"In front of my Crown Prince brother, you can just be yourself. No matter what you are like, my Crown Prince brother will love you!" the Crown Prince said tenderly.
He Xue felt that she only wanted to discuss with the Crown Prince whether she had broken the rules, and did not ask the Crown Prince whether he liked her or not. Why did the Crown Prince keep saying that he liked her?
Should she also respond?
“I understand, Crown Prince. I like you too, Crown Prince. I want to be your favorite little sister!” He Xue replied.
The Crown Prince was heartbroken. He didn't need any younger sister; he needed a wife. Oh well, Xue was still young; he'd take it slow!
"Okay, sure!" The prince forced a smile. "Grow up quickly, Xue! Your brother, the Crown Prince, is waiting for you!"
