Looking at the indifferent expression on the Fourteenth Prince's face when he spoke, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but sigh. The ancient times were really cruel. People listened to and believed in everything, such as parents' orders and matchmaker's words. But no one cared about what the parties involved thought, nor did they think about whether they would be happy after getting married.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli sympathetically comforted the Fourteenth Prince, "Although you don't like them now, there is a saying that goes 'love grows with time'. After spending more time together, you, the Fourteenth Prince, will like them."
Jiang Ranli couldn't think of anything else to say except to comfort him. If he didn't, would he be instigating a divorce from his wife? Even if he was comforted by finding a few people he liked, it wouldn't be appropriate. He was still young and couldn't be raised to be like the Ninth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince looked at Jiang Ranli with amusement, looked her up and down, and suddenly laughed.
"You, what are you laughing at?" His laughter made Jiang Ranli's scalp tingle, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Seeing her like this, Fourteenth Prince's smile suddenly disappeared, and he took two steps forward and followed her.
Did I say something wrong just now? Why would he be like this?
Jiang Ranli was surprised and puzzled. She felt that there was nothing wrong with those words, but the reaction of the Fourteenth Prince was indeed strange.
Approaching Jiang Ranli, the Fourteenth Prince bent down slightly and looked at her, a mischievous glint flashing in his eyes that seemed to contain stars and moons.
Jiang Ranli took another step back, his pockmarked face full of alertness, which made his eyes appear even brighter, sparkling in the night.
When the Fourteenth Prince saw this, he sighed helplessly. He thought it would be better not to tease her anymore. Look at her now, her eyes are almost popping out.
"You are obviously one or two years younger than me, but what you say sounds so old-fashioned. If I don't laugh at you, who will you laugh at?"
Was what he just said sounding old-fashioned? Was that why he became so weird?
Jiang Ranli's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. She truly felt that the thoughts of Emperor Kangxi's sons were harder to guess than the other. However, she didn't intend to respond to Fourteenth Prince's words. Let him laugh if he wanted to. Even if she argued, she wouldn't be able to make any sense of it. Besides, her soul was already in her twenties, so she didn't want to argue with Fourteenth Prince, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Seeing that Jiang Ranli didn't say anything, Fourteenth Prince thought she was angry, so he stood up straight and stopped teasing her.
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Tell me why you are dressed like this."
Jiang Ranli did not delay any longer. The secret had already been revealed. With Fourteenth Prince's personality, she had no choice but to tell him even if she didn't want to. In that case, she might as well tell him, but she would have to make up some stories about the content.
"The Fourteenth Master didn't like those women, but he still married them. I'm similar to you. I don't like your Ninth Brother, but I can't refuse, so I can only pretend to be ugly and stay away from him."
After hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince frowned and asked, "Don't you like Ninth Brother?"
Jiang Ranli nodded, "Yes."
"Which woman in the world doesn't want to marry into a royal family and bring honor to the family? This is a great blessing. My ninth brother is so outstanding, why don't you like him?"
This is what the Fourteenth Prince doesn't understand the most. How many women have been trying their best to marry into the royal family and marry his Ninth Brother, but Jiang Ranli said he doesn't like her.
A great blessing?
This is not a blessing, it's a nightmare.
Jiang Ranli silently complained about the Fourteenth Prince's words. At the same time, she also understood why the Fourteenth Prince said that. He was born in this era and received such education since childhood. But she was different. She could not accept that concept.
