He Xue had thought about this before. She knew that the Crown Prince couldn't possibly have only her by his side, and that this was the way things were in this era. She didn't want to use modern thinking to restrict the Crown Prince.
Few people could be like her father, who had only one wife, her mother, throughout his life. It was even less likely for the crown prince. In order to maintain balance in the previous dynasty, the crown prince would also marry the daughters or sisters of those people.
She mentally prepared herself for the future, knowing that other women would appear in the Crown Prince's life, but people are greedy and never satisfied.
As her affection for the Crown Prince deepened, she gradually came to wish that he belonged only to her, which is why she asked such a question today.
As soon as the words left her mouth, He Xue regretted them. If she hadn't asked, could she have continued to deceive herself for a few more days?
Seeing that Xue's mood had clearly dropped, the Crown Prince shook his head helplessly. "Have you forgotten what I told you before? Of all the waters in the world, I only drink from one."
"What about the imperial concubine selection?" In the future, when the imperial concubine selection is held, Kangxi will definitely appoint someone for the crown prince, who will bear the responsibility of continuing the Qing dynasty's lineage.
Even the crown prince has many unavoidable circumstances, and some things are not up to him to decide.
The Crown Prince, a smile playing on his lips, stared at He Xue. "What do you think?"
"Brother Crown Prince, I don't like it when there are other women around you. Those girls participating in the talent show are all young and beautiful, so please don't go and ruin their lives!" He Xue said aggrievedly.
The prince gently pinched Xue's nose and said with a smile, "Alright, I won't go and cause them any trouble. As long as Xue'er can satisfy me, I only want you!"
"Your Highness keeps your word!" He Xue held up her little finger and looked at the Crown Prince.
Seeing this, the Crown Prince also reached out his hand and made a pinky promise with He Xue, "Don't worry this time?"
"I'm relieved!" He Xue's cheeks flushed, and her eyes shone brightly, more dazzling than the stars in the sky.
The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with deep affection and doting eyes. Over the years, he was no longer as averse to any women as before, but maintaining his purity had become a habit. He had no interest in other women. He had been waiting for He Xue all these years, and he wanted to live up to that waiting.
As he always said, He Xue was someone he had spoiled growing up, so of course he would feel at ease if she stayed by his side. Since she was the little girl he had raised, how could he bear to see her sad?
He Xue didn't really have much faith in the Crown Prince's words. After all, no one knew what the future held. She was only thinking about the present, and she was already satisfied with what the Crown Prince had done for her.
Let's talk about the future later. Maybe she won't like the Crown Prince as much anymore, and it won't matter to her who's by his side. At that time, she'll just be a qualified Crown Princess, and all she needs to do is protect her family.
"You just said those young girls in talent shows are like flower buds, are you implying that I'm old?" The Crown Prince looked at He Xue with a resentful expression.
He and Xue were indeed much older, and he was always worried that Xue would find him too old!
"No, how could that be! Your Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome and dashing, he looks much younger than those who are your age!"
"You still find fault with me!" the crown prince said with dissatisfaction.
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was... no matter how old you are, I don't mind!" Xue felt that any explanation was appropriate.
"He Xue, I don't care who says I'm too old, but you're the only one who can't!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue.
"Brother Crown Prince, I love you, no matter how old you are!"
"Really?" the crown prince asked uncertainly.
“Really!” Kazuyuki said with a firm look in her eyes.
"Alright, I'll believe you for now!" the crown prince said, feigning injury.
Seeing the Crown Prince like this, He Xue felt extremely guilty.
The Crown Prince then took the opportunity to make many demands, and He Xue could only shyly agree in order to express her apology.
The crown prince was finally satisfied.
“Brother Crown Prince, the pastries here are quite nice. Shall we bring some back for Uncle and Aunt?” He Xue didn’t want to continue the previous topic.
"Very well!" The Crown Prince turned to He Zhu and said, "Have them make two more portions and send them back!"
"Brother Crown Prince, aren't we going back?" He Xue asked.
"Didn't Eighth Brother get injured before? Let's go see him on the way!" The Crown Prince hadn't yet seen the Eighth Prince make a fool of himself, so why would he easily return to the palace!
“Okay!” He Xue replied.
