Xu Yixing was asked, yes, who made the rule?
"Let's not talk about that anymore. What were you talking about with them just now? You were so excited. It seems that the rumors about you not being interested in women are not true."
"Who said I'm not interested in women? Am I not very close to you now?" Lu Anyuan smiled and did not answer Xu Yixing's question.
"Rascal." Xu Yixing threw away her shawl and stood a little further away. Who knew that every time she took a step further away, Lu Anyuan would take a step closer. And when he took another step further away, he would take another step closer. He was really more like a shadow than a shadow guard.
"Don't go any further, you'll fall into the river." Lu Anyuan finally stopped, looked at Xu Yixing with a smile, and didn't move closer.
"Well, it's good to be near the river. No one can overhear us talking. You've heard about our family's affairs, right?"
"I heard about it. Why didn't you come and tell me about this?"
"The Second Prince is eager for you to have the token in your hand so that he can catch you committing a serious crime later. How could I possibly tell you?"
Lu Anyuan felt warm in his heart: "So you are really concerned about me?"
Xu Yixing felt irritated when he saw his shameless smile. What should he do? If he really married him, he would be angry every day and would probably age quickly.
"Anyway, this matter has been resolved. Although it cost a small price, it is a complete success. There shouldn't be any more surprises before our wedding."
"My second brother is not that easy to deal with. Since he has already started the war, there is no reason for him to stop."
This is what Xu Yixing was afraid of. The hatred on her side had just begun to come to an end, and after marrying Lu Anyuan, she would be faced with endless troubles and sorrows. What should she do?
"But don't worry. After all, he's not targeting you. He's coming for me. Since we're brothers, we should reciprocate. I'll vent your anger for you."
Hey! It's obviously you who implicated me, yet you still have the nerve to say that you're helping me vent my anger. How annoying!
"Then thank you."
After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he stared at the river in silence. Even though he had many questions in his mind, he felt that the interruption had stopped him from asking them.
"Actually, my eldest brother doesn't like my second brother either." Lu Anyuan didn't know what to say. He chose this opening inexplicably and regretted it after he finished speaking.
"I understand. Probably no one in your family would like each other. But I'm still curious. Your mother passed away early. Why didn't the emperor find you another mother? Look at the Fourth Prince. Isn't he an example?"
Lu Anyuan didn't expect Xu Yixing to ask this. The matter of looking for his mother had long been over in his memory.
"My father originally wanted to give me to Concubine Ying to raise, but I refused, so I gave this opportunity to my fourth brother."
"Huh?" Xu Yixing turned around, his eyes filled with confusion and interest. "You've been thinking about fighting for the throne so early?"
In Xu Yixing's understanding, the only reason why Lu Anyuan did not accept Concubine Ying was that she had a biological prince, so once he became her adopted son, it would basically mean that he would have no chance of becoming emperor.
"You're so utilitarian. I was so young back then, and no one knew if my father, the Empress Dowager, would have a son. Concubines competed fiercely for favor, so who could predict the future?"
"Oh...that's right, then why?"
Lu Anyuan picked up a small stone and floated it across the river, but perhaps because the stone was not flat enough, it struggled for a while and sank to the bottom with a splash.
How should he tell Xu Yixing that he had actually looked for his mother? It was a pity that the ladies in the cold palace had already chilled his heart, making him afraid of women, afraid of anyone who originally exuded maternal love.
"My fourth brother is more pitiful than me. After all, I still have my aunt, so my life won't be too bad." Lu Anyuan never feels nervous when telling lies. He has long been accustomed to mixing truth and lies, and sometimes he can't even tell the difference.
"Wow!" Xu Yixing had never expected this answer. It seems that Lu Anyuan was still very cute when he was a child. The saying "brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other" is true.
"Wow, you're moved by our brotherhood, right? Hahahaha!"
"Do you regret it?"
"There's nothing to regret. Just look at Fourth Brother's current situation and you'll know my choice was right."
Xu Yixing was silent. After the Fourth Prince set up his own residence and moved out, he was indeed living a pretty good life.
However, he did not achieve much in the court. Most of the ministers regarded him as the spokesperson of the second prince, and asked him to do things or say things that the second prince was not convenient to do or say.
Such a good prince ended up being someone else's messenger.
"But at least he can become a rich and powerful prince in the future. I think no matter who of you brothers ascends the throne, you won't make things difficult for him, right?"
Lu Anyuan nodded. It was true. Fourth brother would probably sit firmly on the throne of the prince in the future. As for the rest of them, fighting each other to death, it was not certain that they would have a good ending.
"The last time you were in my room, Xu Yiwen interrupted me when I asked a question. I want to hear your answer."
"What's the problem?" The topic changed so quickly that Lu Anyuan didn't react for a moment. "Oh! Are you asking me if I marry you because I like you or Yi Yan? Oh!"
What is coming will come. It seems that there is not always a chance to be interrupted.
"Yixing, let me put it this way. If Nanny Bai hadn't died, but had suddenly become someone else, like the girl named Siwen who's by your side, and she came back to help and protect you, would you doubt her loyalty just because she changed her identity?"
This... Lu Anyuan's metaphor was so vivid, so vivid that Xu Yixing didn't even need to think about it, and he was so excited that he immediately rushed over to hug Si Wen, or Aunt Bai. Why doubt it?
So Lu Anyuan has always liked me, even if I changed my identity, he would still like me.
Xu Yixing didn't know if a lover's heart could be so affectionate, but she had to admit that Lu Anyuan treated her very well. At least until now, he had always acted for her.
"So Yixing, you don't have to doubt my intentions. To be honest, your sister did want me to marry her, but I refused because there is only one person I love in my heart. Yixing, you are you, and no one can replace you."
Xu Yixing knew this memory, so when he looked at Lu Anyuan's determined gaze again, he felt not only touched but also a little more trust in his heart.
"But maybe I'm not as good as you think. You know, my grandson is worried about me..."
"That's because he's blind." Lu Anyuan seemed to dislike the name, and when Xu Yixing mentioned it casually, he interrupted. "I know whether you're good or not, and there's no need to compare myself to others."
