Emperor Yuan was stunned. He had completely ignored him just now. Now that Jiang Yueyang reminded him, he felt very complicated.
The system smiled cunningly, [Host, please don't be so rigid about gender. ]
[What you mean is... the fifth princess likes girls? ]
Hearing that the fifth princess might like women, all the men present breathed a sigh of relief.
After Emperor Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that the fact that the fifth princess liked a woman was much easier for him to accept than violating ethical principles.
Has he already lost all his bottom line?
[No, she doesn’t like women.]
Jiang Yueyang was slightly displeased, […Are you teasing me? ]
The prince was thoughtful. The fifth sister didn't love us, nor did she love women. So who did she love deeply?
The prince slowly looked towards the fifth princess and his eyes fell on a person's face.
At this moment, the system said: [Host, do you think the little eunuch next to the fifth princess is good-looking? ]
As soon as these words were spoken, some people present reacted quickly.
Emperor Yuan and the Empress looked at each other in bewilderment; this was a result they had never expected.
How could Nan Xi...
Jiang Yueyang followed the system's instructions and secretly glanced at the little eunuch behind the fifth princess. [He looks pretty good, and from the looks of it, he's a puppy.]
The fifth princess tried her best to remain calm, and her hands holding the handkerchief were shaking from holding so tightly.
She couldn't let Lord Xiao Jiang find out anything, otherwise Kang An would really have no chance of survival.
The Third Prince was afraid that Jiang Yueyang would notice that the Fifth Princess’ expression was not right, so he blocked her view intentionally or unintentionally.
"Jiang Yueyang, what are you looking at? Pay attention, be careful not to cut off your fingers."
Jiang Yueyang retracted her gaze to the coconut in her hand and asked in an unexpectedly calm tone: [The fifth princess fell in love with that little eunuch? ]
In her previous life, she watched a legendary costume TV series, which mainly expressed the criticism of feudal ethics and the fate that women could not control themselves.
In the play, what attracted her most was not the emotional entanglement of the male protagonist, but the tragic love between his daughter and the eunuch.
The princess fell in love with the eunuch, which was not tolerated by the world and they condemned her.
Under the influence of feudal ethics, the princess who dared to love and hate became the most tragic victim.
Because the ending of the drama was not the happy ending she wanted, she went out of her way to read the novel.
The novel and the TV series each have their own beautiful side, but also their own regrets.
In the TV series, the princess has been fighting and never succumbs to the ethics until her death.
But in the end, she couldn't be with the person she loved.
In the novel, the princess and the eunuch were clearly honest with each other about their feelings, and it could be said that they had a brief moment of love.
But in the end, the princess still consummated her marriage with the man she didn't love.
She couldn't say whether she liked the novel or the TV series more.
Maybe it’s a novel, because there’s a kiss in it.
Maybe it’s a TV show, because the princess’s love is passionate and crazy, the eunuch is worthy of it.
When watching the drama, she wanted to ask, what did the princess do wrong? What did the eunuch do wrong?
She just wants the person she loves to stay with her for a long time.
He just wanted to stay with her forever.
The system clearly sensed Jiang Yueyang's emotional changes, and after a moment of silence, it uttered a word.
【yes.】
This word shocked everyone present, and Emperor Yuan was in a daze for a moment, unable to accept it.
The young eunuch lowered his head, but his eyes were always looking at the fifth princess in front of him.
He had long realized the Fifth Princess's affection for him, and he should have stayed away from her.
But... he couldn't control his heart, he wanted to stay with her, always.
Is it just wishful thinking...?
The system continued: [Eunuch Kang An was originally the child of a wealthy family, but his family fell into poverty and he was deceived, so he entered the palace in a daze.
Otherwise, he would have been one of the candidates in the imperial examination a few days ago. Perhaps... his fate and that of the fifth princess would have been different. 】
Jiang Yueyang pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly, [Coincidence? The two people's life experiences are so similar. I just don't know if their fates are also the same. ]
She said as she looked at the Fifth Princess's eunuch, "Little melon, what's the difference between a eunuch and a man who can't have sex?"
The system was speechless for a moment.
[In my opinion, they are essentially the same. Then why can the world accept that inhumane men can marry and have children, but cannot accept that eunuchs can have their own lovers? ]
Emperor Yuan was stunned.
When he learned that the fifth princess fell in love with a eunuch, that eunuch was already a dead man in his eyes.
But Jiang Yueyang's question confused him again...
Before the system answered, Jiang Yueyang spoke again: [Is it because of their lowly status that they don't deserve love? ]
At this time, the system replied in a melancholy tone: [This world is full of prejudice. Even in modern times, similar things are not tolerated by the world. ]
[Well... no one is wrong, it's the world that is wrong. ]
After saying this, Jiang Yueyang didn't say anything else, but just silently opened one coconut after another.
The system knew that she longed for a happy ending, so it did not disturb her at this time.
Afterwards, Emperor Yuan found an opportunity that would not arouse suspicion and let Jiang Yueyang leave the palace.
As soon as Jiang Yueyang left Ning'an Palace, the Fifth Princess and the eunuch Kang An knelt before the Emperor and Empress.
"Father, Mother, Kang An knows nothing. This is all my fault! Please punish me alone!"
Emperor Yuan stood up and walked in front of her, pacing back and forth. "Why? Tell me why! What's so good about him?"
The Fifth Princess raised her head with a firm look in her eyes, "He understands me. He knows what I want and what I don't want.
He can feel my joy and sorrow, cold and warmth. Our souls are compatible."
Emperor Yuan squatted down and gently stroked her head, "Nanxi, you are still young and don't understand what love is.
You heard from your father that this is just a momentary infatuation, not love."
"Father, I know my heart very well, and I also know that there is no possibility for him and I, so I will not ask for anything.
I will marry according to my father's wishes, shoulder my responsibilities as the Princess of Daxia, and will not do anything that would damage the reputation of the royal family.
I only hope that Father can fulfill my only request and let him stay by my side."
Emperor Yuan stood up with a gloomy face, "Do you know what you will face if this matter is known to others?"
"I know. If that time ever comes, I am willing to bear all the consequences."
"Even if it means death, will you throw yourself into the flame?"
"yes."
Emperor Yuan's eyes turned red, and he looked at Kang An beside him, "What about you?"
Kang An realized that the question was about him and immediately kowtowed and said, "Wherever the princess is, I will be there. Even in death... I will follow you."
