He Xue also noticed that the Crown Prince had brought a girl with him this time. "Who is this, Crown Prince?"
"Oh, oh, oh, I didn't expect that a woman would finally appear by the Crown Prince's side. Otherwise, I would have suspected that the Crown Prince was keeping himself pure for Fourth Brother!"
Upon hearing He Xue's innermost thoughts, the Crown Prince's expression stiffened. "Why did He Xue say that? Why did you say that I remained chaste for my fourth brother? And what does this have to do with my fourth brother!"
"Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong?" He Xue asked for some reason, and the Crown Prince was like this!
"It's alright! This is the bodyguard I chose for you. She will protect you in secret!" the Crown Prince said. He had many bodyguards, but very few female bodyguards. He couldn't possibly have a man protecting He Xue.
It seems he will need to train more female bodyguards to strengthen the protection of He Xue.
"Come here and greet Princess He Xue!" the Crown Prince said to the man.
"Your subordinate greets Princess He Xue!"
"Get up quickly, I don't have so many rules here!" He Xue gestured for Xia Bing to help the person up.
"What's your name?" He Xue asked.
“She doesn’t have a name yet, you should give her one!” the prince said.
"In that case, you can call yourself Qingdai!" He Xue said after thinking for a moment.
"Qingdai thanks Princess Hexue for bestowing this name upon me!" Qingdai knelt down again and said.
"Qingdai, I entrust Hexue to you!" the Crown Prince said to Qingdai.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will protect the princess with my life!" Qingdai assured him.
"Qingdai, you need to protect yourself before you can protect me. So don't risk your life to protect me. The first thing you need to do is protect yourself!" He Xue disagreed with Qingdai's statement.
Although Xue's explanation differed from her usual training, Qingdai still replied, "This servant understands!"
"Xia Bing, take Qingdai to get acquainted with the place!" He Xue said to Xia Bing.
After Xia Bing and Qing Dai left, the Crown Prince looked at Jing Shu: "Didn't you have something to do? Go on! I have He Xue here to keep me company!"
Jing Shu never expected that the Crown Prince would be so blatant in trying to get rid of him.
"Big brother, you have something to do, go ahead and do it!" He Xue said to Jing Shu.
Jing Shu felt that He Xue was too naive, and in order to prevent He Xue from being deceived by the Crown Prince, he had to stay here.
"Brother has nothing to do, the most important thing is to keep His Highness the Crown Prince company!"
The Crown Prince rolled his eyes at Jing Shu and continued speaking to He Xue, "He Xue, the people around you are all named after Chinese medicinal herbs! Are you very interested in studying medicine?"
"I'm somewhat interested, and I've learned a little bit!"
"How about I find someone to teach you?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, but no need for now! I'm just interested for a moment. I'll tell you when I want to learn!"
“Very well!” the crown prince replied.
He Xue wondered to herself, "Should I call Sister Jingrou over? Let her and Brother Crown Prince have a chance encounter! Maybe their relationship will blossom!"
The Crown Prince finally realized that He Xue was trying to match him up with Shi Jingrou. Why would He Xue have such thoughts? Could it be that Shi Jingrou said something to He Xue? It seems he needs to have someone investigate Shi Jingrou thoroughly.
Days passed, and He Xue's injuries gradually healed.
The Crown Prince always tried to find various excuses to see He Xue, but Jing Shu always managed to stop him.
After He Xue recovered from her injuries, she did not stay in the palace for an extended period as she had in the past. Even when she did go to the palace, she would only stay in Chengqian Palace for a short while before leaving.
Therefore, the Crown Prince has not seen snow from early summer to deep winter.
Just as the Crown Prince was trying to find a way to see He Xue, he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
