Therefore, they all tacitly agreed not to refuse the marriage proposal at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Helian Yun also always believed that as long as they were not married, they still had a way.
Even if I was forced to get married later, it was just fate.
He really liked Zuo Xinya and was willing to do anything for her. He even believed that Zuo Xinya liked him too. After all, compared with Helian Cheng, Helian Cheng's status was obviously much more noble than his.
Helian Cheng is the son of the imperial concubine, and has a good relationship with Helian Wushuang. Naturally, his future prospects will be better than his.
But Helian Yun was just the son of a palace maid. Although he was a prince, his status was much humbler.
Zuo Xinya also knew the difference. The fact that she was able to abandon Helian Cheng and still think of herself was already a sign of her longing for him.
Giving up a life of luxury for the one you love, and living a life where you worry about food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea every day, where you don't even know if you can survive tomorrow, who in the world can do such a sacrifice today?
Duan Qingxi knew that she was being too extreme. After all, there was no need for her to waste her emotions on this pair of scumbags and bitches.
"Every scumbag and bitch has their own match! You want others to take the blame for the things you dare not do! Fine! What if I help you?! I'm afraid you can't bear it!"
After saying that, Duan Qingxi simply waved his sleeves and left the Fifth Princes' Mansion.
Seeing this, Qiao Yun looked at Helian Yun and Zuo Xinya, looked at them with deep contempt, and then caught up with Duan Qingxi.
Helian Yun saw Duan Qingxi leaving and subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zuo Xinya.
"Your Highness...Your Highness, that's not what I meant. She misunderstood me."
Hearing this, Helian Yun glanced at Zuo Xinya, and then let go of her hand.
His expression was no longer as good as before, and even looked a bit cold.
"I remember that the night before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, you came to me and told me not to refuse if our father and mother insisted on breaking us up, lest they be angered. Is that correct?"
Zuo Xinya didn't know why Helian Yun suddenly brought up this matter, but she was still panicking.
"Ayun, I..."
"Ya'er, I heard everything Xi'er said just now, and I think she's right. Maybe you and I aren't that in love at all. I'm not willing to give up power for you, and you're not willing to give up glory for me. The reason you chose me over Third Brother is probably not because you truly love me. It's just that you know Third Brother is a playboy and wouldn't treat you sincerely even if he married you. In the future, you might be squeezed out of the position of Princess by one of his concubines."
"Compared to everything in the Three Princes' Palace, you prefer the comfort here with me, and as long as I am willing to listen to your father, you think you can also live in an extremely respected position in the future, right?"
Zuo Xinya was anxious. She grabbed Helian Yun's hand again and said, "No, Ayun! Don't believe Duan Qingxi's one-sided words! I... I admit that my actions were a bit despicable, but I also want to be with you!"
Helian Yun withdrew his hand and shook his head, saying, "I've already admitted my selfishness, why don't you admit it? If you had granted the marriage to the Crown Prince instead of Third Brother, would you have done the same?"
"I……"
Zuo Xinya was suddenly choked. She wanted to say that she didn't know how to do it, but when she met Helian Yun's eyes, she found that she couldn't say a word?
What the hell is going on?!
"Look, you hesitated because you didn't dare lie to me. You know I'd be able to tell the difference the moment you lied. Ya'er, stop lying to yourself and me. Perhaps from the day our father arranged our marriage, everything should have ended."
Helian Yun didn't waste any more time talking to her, but went after Duan Qingxi.
