Faced with Li Mengyue's explanation, he knew how fake, watery and perfunctory it was, but he had nothing to say, and he couldn't force her to marry him.
However, Li Mengyue's refusal also made him feel relieved. It was not that he was unwilling to marry Li Mengyue, but he felt that his current situation was very dangerous.
If he were to marry at this time, it would be like putting Li Mengyue on the fire, and there would definitely be countless dangers.
Even though he believed in Li Mengyue's ability, suicide would not be a problem in general, but there are always unexpected events. As long as it is related to Li Mengyue and the baby, he cannot afford any small accidents.
So he agreed with Li Mengyue and stopped proposing to her. But not mentioning it didn't mean that he didn't care about her. Instead, he asked people to prepare the betrothal gifts and renovate the palace. Once everything was settled, it would be the time for him to propose to Li Mengyue.
By then, he will definitely give Li Mengyue a grand wedding and make Li Mengyue the happiest woman in the world.
Although Li Mengyue did not agree to his proposal at that time, she did not say no either. She just postponed it for some time.
In this way, the safety of Li Mengyue and the child can be guaranteed to a certain extent in the current fierce and cruel fight for the throne.
What's more, his marriage to Li Mengyue was a big deal and it was not something he could decide on his own. As for his father's imperial decree to complete the refugee resettlement mission and to make him the crown prince upon his return to Beijing, with Li Mengyue's help, there was no doubt that he would be able to complete it.
It's just that he is the crown prince, and the crown princess is equivalent to the future queen of a country, and the candidate is not easily decided.
However, he has already decided on Li Mengyue. Even if his father, the emperor, the queen mother, and the ministers in the court disagree, he will stick to his position and there is no possibility of changing it.
But he didn't have any confidence in Li Mengyue. Not to mention that Li Mengyue was not the kind of person who would be manipulated, there was also the hurdle of Li An and his wife and Prince An's Mansion to deal with.
The matter of Li being the missing lady of Prince An's Mansion more than ten years ago has been thoroughly investigated by the King of Hell. Li is indeed the aunt of Prince An's Mansion and Xie Qichen's biological aunt.
Although Xie Qichen was his subordinate, Prince An's family was also royal family. Even if they were five generations apart, he should still call Xie Qichen his cousin and Li his aunt.
Given this relationship, if he wanted to marry Li Mengyue back home, he still had to give permission to Prince An's Mansion.
In fact, he was also glad that Li was the aunt of Prince An's mansion, so that Li Mengyue's identity sounded much better than that of a village girl.
Even if Li Mengyue didn't care, in that kind of environment, most people would flatter the powerful and bully the weak. He just wanted Li Mengyue to live a happy life, but didn't want anyone to upset Li Mengyue or make her unhappy.
Li Mengyue didn't know what Xie Ruiyuan was thinking. She was only concerned about one issue now, which was the upcoming extreme cold mini ice age.
"Xie Ruiyuan, I still have a lot of cotton-padded clothes here. Can you use your people to deliver them to various cities in the north so that every citizen can buy a cotton-padded coat?"
