Seeing Consort Yi's mysterious demeanor, Consort Tongjia became interested and asked, "What is it?"
Consort Yi glanced at He Xue, then said to Consort Tongjia, "Consort, what do you think of He Xue and Xiao Jiu?"
The Crown Prince had been watching He Xue the whole time. When he saw Consort Yi looking at He Xue, he glanced in Consort Yi's direction. Little did he know that this one glance would reveal that someone was trying to steal her away from him.
Although the Crown Prince was a bit far from Consort Tongjia and Consort Yi, and they were speaking softly, the Crown Prince still listened attentively, tilting his ear to listen carefully.
"What do you mean?" Although Consort Tongjia could guess what Consort Yi meant, she wasn't quite sure.
"Your Highness, I won't waste any more words. I think He Xue is a very good girl, and I really like her. I think she and Xiao Jiu are a good match!"
The prince thought to himself, "I think I'm the perfect match for He Xue!"
"The main reason is that Xiao Jiu keeps clamoring to find someone prettier than him to be his wife. I can tell that He Xue will definitely be a great beauty like you in the future!"
Moreover, as you can see, Xiao Jiu only listens to He Xue now. I just want to find a wife who can keep Xiao Jiu in check! Consort Yi's words were truly skillful, praising not only He Xue but also Consort Tongjia.
Didn't you see Consort Tong Jia beaming from ear to ear? It's true that women love to be complimented on their beauty, especially by a beautiful woman.
The Crown Prince thought to himself, "I will listen to He Xue from now on. Even if He Xue says she wants to be Empress, I will immediately make Father Emperor the Retired Emperor!"
While reviewing memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Kangxi suddenly felt that the dragon throne he was sitting on was a bit too hot. He shifted his position, wondering if there were anti-Qing and pro-Ming people eyeing his empire again.
If Emperor Kangxi knew what the Crown Prince was thinking, he would surely say, "You unfilial son, you still have a conscience, you didn't let me pass away directly!"
"And Consort Yi, rest assured, I will definitely not be a difficult mother-in-law to get along with. I will definitely treat He Xue like my own daughter!" Consort Yi continued to persuade Consort Tongjia.
After hearing this, the Crown Prince said, "If He Xue marries me, she won't have any difficulties with her mother-in-law, and the people in Father Emperor's harem won't cause her any trouble either!"
"Doesn't He Xue like gold? Xiao Jiu has a knack for business. Although it's not good for a prince to compete with the common people for profit, we don't need to worry about that for He Xue's sake!"
The Crown Prince roared inwardly, "From now on, the entire world will belong to me. I can satisfy any desire Xue desires without having to bear any infamy!"
The Crown Prince felt it necessary to inform Emperor Kangxi in advance that he intended to marry He Xue, but Consort Tongjia's words made him abandon the idea.
Consort Tongjia considered Consort Yi's words for a moment, then looked at He Xue, who was having fun with the Ninth Prince. In fact, Consort Yi's suggestion was not bad, but this was not something she could decide on her own. She still needed to ask Su Hetai and Qingyao.
When the Crown Prince saw that Consort Tongjia was really considering Consort Yi's suggestion, and when he saw Consort Tongjia's gaze constantly lingering on He Xue and the Ninth Prince, his heart jumped into his throat, fearing that Consort Tongjia would nod in agreement.
"I think it's good, but I can't say for sure about this matter. We still need to ask Qingyao and her husband."
"Yes, of course we should ask the General and his wife. As long as you agree, I'll feel more at ease!" Consort Yi felt that things were more than halfway done.
The Crown Prince can only watch helplessly! How could it be that in just a few words, He Xue is about to become Xiao Jiu's wife? The little wife he has been longing for is about to become his sister-in-law!
Consort Tongjia suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "This matter still requires His Majesty's consent, but I think His Majesty might not agree!"
Consort Yi wondered to herself if it was because Su Hetai held military power and the Emperor was worried that if one of the princes married Hexue, it would threaten the Crown Prince's position.
"Sister Consort Yi, could it be that His Majesty..." Consort Yi asked Consort Tongjia.
The Crown Prince also leaned towards Consort Tongjia and the others, wanting to know why Kangxi disagreed, as it concerned whether he could successfully marry He Xue in the future!
