Chapter 177 I am not him, I will not let you suffer
The moment Xiao Jinghe said this, Yu Qinghuan's first reaction was that he had misheard, and his second reaction was that Xiao Jinghe was teasing him.
"Your Highness, you are joking. With my status as a concubine, I dare not even dream of..."
She was interrupted before she could finish her words.
Xiao Jinghe's expression was more serious than ever before. He held Yu Qinghuan's hand tightly and said, "I'm not joking."
Yu Qinghuan's smile froze on her face. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Xiao Jinghe would not let her break free.
"Your Highness, I come from an ordinary family, and now I've broken with my family. I can't offer you any help, and I've even been divorced. Others will laugh at me, so I'm not qualified to be your Crown Princess."
She didn't know why Xiao Jinghe had such an idea. Marrying such a princess would not only fail to give Xiao Jinghe any help, but would also cause dissatisfaction among the court officials.
Moreover, the Crown Princess will be the Queen in the future, and she has some self-awareness and is not worthy of this position.
In the future, the former dynasty and the harem will be in turmoil.
Xiao Jinghe said seriously, "I'm the one marrying you, so you don't need to care about what others think."
"Besides, with me protecting you, who would dare to laugh at you?"
As for family background, it would be great if there were no worries about relatives by marriage.
Yu Qinghuan slowly shook his head, "Your Highness, this matter is not as simple as you think."
Xiao Jinghe naturally knew what she meant. It was not an easy task to marry Yu Qinghuan as the Crown Princess. First of all, his father was not so easy to fool, and he might even be so angry that he died.
Even if I succeed in marrying her, when I ascend to that position in the future and want to establish a queen, all the civil and military officials in the court will definitely obstruct me.
But what does it matter? He is not a coward. As long as Yu Qinghuan is willing to be the Crown Princess, he will find ways to resolve these obstacles.
Xiao Jinghe looked at the woman in front of him with a firm expression and expectant eyes: "I will solve all these problems. Today I only ask you, are you willing to be the Crown Princess?"
Yu Qinghuan was stunned. It was the first time she heard someone say such words to her, and this person was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the future emperor.
She should be happy that the greatest supporter in the world is on her side, but now she can't be happy at all.
No matter whether she is a marquis' wife or a queen, without her own power, she has to rely on a man for her livelihood.
At the beginning, she was the only woman in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, and her life was not happy. What's more, there was a harem with no shortage of beauties. Xiao Jinghe would only have more and more women, and her life would only become more unhappy.
Moreover, Xiao Jinghe has me in his heart now, so he can put the position of queen in front of me. But when he falls in love with someone else in the future, even if I become the queen, I will lose favor and have no power from my natal family to rely on. I can't even save my life in the cannibalistic harem.
Having already died once, she would not do such a stupid thing as to tie the rest of her life to a man again.
So no matter how tempting the position of queen is, she would not have any idea about it.
It's good enough for me now. I have enough gold, silver and treasures. I don't have to please only one man. I can do whatever I want and be close to whoever I want.
Maybe, it's time to take this opportunity to break up with Xiao Jinghe.
Under Xiao Jinghe's expectant gaze, Yu Qinghuan shook her head, "Your Highness, I don't want to be a Crown Princess."
Hearing this, the confident Xiao Jinghe was stunned, and the smile on his face completely disappeared. Why... I have given her the best, why did she still reject me.
She is now the Crown Princess and will be the Empress in the future. This is a position that is unattainable for women in the world, but she treats it as a piece of trash.
"……Why?"
At this moment, he just wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Yu Qinghuan silently pulled her hand back from his palm and even wanted to move it away from his leg, but Xiao Jinghe wouldn't let her. He held her waist tightly and didn't let her move at all.
She sighed, "I've been married once, and it wasn't a good experience. Now that I've finally regained my freedom, I don't want to marry again for the rest of my life."
Xiao Jinghe suddenly remembered that Yu Qinghuan was driven to the manor and forced to seek his protection. He frowned and promised, "I am not him. I will not let you suffer any injustice."
He thought he could do better than Ningyuan Hou.
Yu Qinghuan said, "But there won't be only one woman in the harem."
This time, Xiao Jinghe remained silent, did not refute, and loosened his grip on her.
Yu Qinghuan took the opportunity to break free from his arms and sat aside.
Seeing his obviously lost expression, Yu Qinghuan comforted him, "Actually, we're doing fine the way we are now. If you want to see me, just send a message, just like we did back in Zhuangzi."
Xiao Jinghe's eyes darkened, and he said solemnly, "But I don't want to."
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness should have a Crown Princess with a good family background and good character, instead of being obsessed with me alone..."
"But in my eyes, you are the best!"
Xiao Jinghe's eyes gradually became gloomy as he stared at Yu Qinghuan. For a moment, he wanted to handcuff this person and lock her by his side, so that she would be his woman forever.
I am the crown prince, the future emperor, and I must get any woman I want!
Meeting his gaze, Yu Qinghuan flinched for a moment. Was this man trying to force himself on her into the Eastern Palace?
She immediately reached out her hand, slipped into Xiao Jinghe's tense palm, interlocked her fingers with his, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Your Highness is the best in my eyes."
Xiao Jinghe lowered his eyes to look at the interlocked hands, then looked up at her, "Really?"
Yu Qinghuan nodded without hesitation. She was already very skilled in the art of speaking differently to different people.
Xiao Jinghe said in a deep voice, "Kiss me."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned, then smiled after realizing what was happening. He was trying to comfort himself.
