A marriage contract? What does that mean?
This was Helian Jue's first reaction: Who was talking nonsense to Xiaoyu?
Qiao You continued, "Well... isn't my brother the Crown Prince? Many marriages are arranged in advance!"
His eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry, along with a hint of nervousness.
nervous?
Helian Jue felt a bit clearer; his little fish had finally figured it out!
"No, Mother said that everything should be based on my wishes." Helian Jue looked at Qiao You and said very seriously, "I will only marry the person I love most."
Qiao You nodded silently, "Oh~"
Helian Jue became more vigilant and prepared. As long as Xiaoyu showed even the slightest sign of interest in him, he would make up for the rest.
If Xiaoyu didn't reveal anything, he... could only hold back for now.
His little fish has just come of age, and there are still many days ahead of him. Will he be able to distinguish between dependence and affection?
What kind of feelings do I have for him?
He is older than Xiaoyu and has much more experience and knowledge.
You shouldn't guide the small fish in any way, as that would be unfair to them.
After getting the answer he wanted, Qiao You felt relieved.
"Brother, let's go to sleep~"
With an excited expression, Qiao You patted the empty space beside her and said proudly, "I want my brother to hold me while we sleep."
After saying that, she looked sincerely at Helian Jue. If it were anyone else, Helian Jue would have been absolutely certain that she was deliberately trying to seduce him, but the target was Xiaoyu...
Looking into those clear and innocent eyes, Helian Jue couldn't form any other thoughts.
"Okay, brother will hold the baby while he sleeps." Helian Jue smiled and laid the baby down in his arms.
Qiao You playfully kissed Helian Jue on the cheek, "Brother, please don't get married anytime soon, okay?"
Helian Jue's heart skipped a beat, and his tone was filled with surprise, "Why did Xiaoyu suddenly say that?"
Qiao You lowered her head, avoiding Helian Jue's gaze, and muttered, "I... only want my brother to be good to me."
"If there's another person, I..."
Helian Jue couldn't stand Qiao You's words, so he spoke very softly, as if he were about to disappear on the spot.
“Brother promises, baby.” Helian Jue immediately replied, showing no principles or self-control in front of Qiao You.
Qiao You felt a little relieved. "I knew my brother was the best to me."
Helian Jue patted the person gently, his eyes vacant as he pondered the person in his arms; Qiao You, nestled in Helian Jue's embrace, was also silently making plans.
Both of them had their own thoughts and concerns, but they were actually worried about the same thing.
Qiao had been writing about the travelogue for most of the day and was exhausted. Plus, her brother's embrace was so warm that she fell asleep quickly.
Helian Jue, however, kept his eyes open until midnight.

"Arad!" Helian Tu has now moved out of the palace, and all the furnishings in Turan Hall where he once lived have been thrown away.
When he was banished from the palace, his good mother didn't even bother to come and see him, acting as if he were no son at all.
And his father, the emperor, actually ordered him to be banished from the palace and demoted to a commoner...
Okay, everything is fine!
Leidenhong, Leidenxin, Heliancheng... and Helianjue.
He won't let any of them go.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Arad had been by Helian Tu's side since childhood, and even though His Highness had been demoted to a commoner, he was still willing to follow His Highness wholeheartedly.
"Keep a close eye on Leidenhong and Leidenxin's movements," Heliantu said through gritted teeth.
What chilled him to the bone the most was Leidensin, his own mother!
Before Leidenxin became empress, the palace was Su Shu's domain, and the mother and son depended on each other for survival.
Looking back now, that was the time when his relationship with Leidensing was at its most harmonious.
Since then, the atmosphere has become slightly tense whenever I meet Leidensing.
As he grew older, Helian Tu gradually realized that he was just a pawn in the Leiden family's game.
Relying on his family's power, Leidenhong wanted to infiltrate the royal family's influence. He had previously served Helian Cheng to some extent when he ascended the throne.
Later, Leidenhong used his merit in supporting the emperor to coerce Leidenxin into entering the palace.
His good mother was truly a good dog of the Leiden family, always putting the Leiden family's honor first, even he himself had to take a backseat.
“Leiden, this is what you owe me…”
"If you're going to hate someone, hate Leidenhong, who raised you like a loyal dog." Helian Tu's eyes flashed with malice.
Now that Helian Jue has moved out of the palace, he lives in a private residence in the capital city. Fortunately, Helian Cheng did not kill him and allowed him to take his private property with him.
Capital Star, Royal Palace.
"Your Highness, the Master wishes to see you," the maid Zhuyue reported.
The teacup in Leidensin's hand fell to the ground and shattered with a "crack".
"See me?" he muttered. "Did he say what he wanted to say?"
Zhu Yue shook her head. They were just following orders and had no right to inquire about their master's affairs.
Leidensing was extremely flustered. "My father wants me to go back..."
"Is it my fault for not stopping Tu'er?"
“But this is not my fault. I...I tried to persuade him, but he just wouldn’t listen.”
Zhu Yue stared blankly at everything before her; they were already used to the Empress's demeanor.
Despite her fear and anxiety, she had no choice but to obey her father and obediently return to the Leiden family home.
Soon, Leidensin arrived at the Leiden family's old residence in the flying shuttle.
As she entered through the main gate, all the guards and maids along the way had to kneel and bow before her.
This was Leidensing's proudest achievement, and only at this moment did the title of Queen truly resonate with her.
"Your Highness, please go in. The master is waiting inside." The guard was exceptionally respectful, the pleasure he had felt from being flattered all the way vanished in an instant.
