"Unahi, so you're here! I've been looking for you for ages!" Before He Xue and Long Keduo could even exchange a few words, Tana appeared in front of He Xue.
Tana acted as if she and He Xue were very familiar with each other, and intimately linked arms with He Xue.
"Tana Gege, what brings you here?" He Xue pulled her arm away; she wasn't used to being so intimate with unfamiliar people.
“I came with my aunt!” Tana said to He Xue.
"He Xue, why don't you talk to this princess? Your uncle will go ahead first!" Longkodo felt it was inappropriate for him to be there.
“I understand!” Xue replied.
Tana watched Longkodo walk away and asked, "Is this your uncle?"
“Yes!” He Xue said.
“I also have an uncle, and he’s very good to me, but my aunt doesn’t seem to like me very much!” Tana said dejectedly.
He Xue thought to herself, "Be more confident. Take away the 'seems' part. Your aunt definitely doesn't like you anymore! Prince An and his heir dote on you more than your cousins. It's no wonder your aunt likes you!"
"It's already a good thing that you're allowed to stay at Prince An's residence, considering you and her aren't related by blood at all!"
"It's alright, you still have your maternal grandfather and uncle, don't you?" He Xue comforted Tana.
“You’re right, your uncle calls you He Xue, so I’ll call you He Xue too!” Tana said.
"Sure! But we don't seem to know each other very well!" He Xue said very honestly.
“We’re pretty close now, aren’t we? They say you can’t be friends without a fight!” Tana said.
“I am Guarjia Unaxi, you can call me He Xue!” He Xue also liked Tana’s cheerful personality, so she formally addressed Tana.
Tana immediately replied, "I am Guoluo Tana, you can call me Tana!" After saying that, the two little girls smiled at each other.
He Xue also felt sorry for Tana. She thought that the reason why Tana acted so arrogantly was simply because she wanted to protect herself, after all, she was also living under someone else's roof!
Moreover, even if Prince An loves her dearly, he is still a man and there are bound to be things he can't take care of.
In modern times, Tana would just be a kindergarten child and shouldn't have to bear so much, so she hoped that she could become Tana's friend so that Tana could have someone to confide in.
He Xue and Tana arrived at a pavilion and chatted for a while. Not wanting to be in a crowded place, He Xue began to teach Tana how to play Gomoku.
When Tana heard He Xue say that she wanted to play chess, she quickly waved her hand, saying that she was not interested in such pretentious things.
As it turned out, He Xue told her that it wasn't the kind of chess she understood, so she tried playing with He Xue and became more and more engrossed in it, finding it much more fun than playing chess.
The pavilion where He Xue and the others were located was quite secluded and surrounded by trees, so it was difficult for anyone to discover their presence.
He Xue and Tana heard someone talking nearby. He Xue didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the other person's words involved the Crown Prince, so He Xue had to perk up and listen.
"I've already seen the Crown Prince arrive at the Tongjia residence!" It was a girl's voice.
"The Crown Prince is here? Why didn't she see him?" He Xue thought to herself.
“I’ve already checked. There’s a lake not far from here. You just need to find a way to lure the prince over!” the girl continued.
"But sister, how can I lure the prince here? He won't listen to me!" That was another girl's voice.
"Can't you use your brain? If you dare ruin my plans, your mother won't forgive you when we get back!" the first girl said fiercely.
"I understand, sister!" The first girl must have hit the second girl, whose voice was already trembling with tears. "Sister, what are you doing? That's the Crown Prince! You can't do anything reckless!"
"Don't worry! I know what to do. Just lure the Crown Prince over here, and you don't need to worry about anything else!"
"The Crown Prince will definitely not leave me to die if he sees me fall into the lake. Once we have been intimate, he will surely let me enter Yuqing Palace for the sake of his reputation. No matter what my status is, I am confident that I can make the Crown Prince devoted to me!" the first girl said confidently.
"Sister, this is too dangerous! What if the Crown Prince doesn't make it in time?" the second girl said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Mother has already made arrangements. Even if the Crown Prince doesn't come, I'll be fine!"
The second girl thought the first girl was being too naive, and was about to speak when the first girl stopped her, saying, "You just need to do as I say!"
"Yes!" The second girl didn't say anything more.
After the two people had walked away, Xue and Tana stepped forward.
