Then the Eighth Prince turned to the Twelfth Prince: "Twelfth Brother, it's bound to be dangerous for Princess Zhaojia to go back alone. I think you should go and see her off."
“Eighth Prince, no need, I’m not that weak!” He Yue interrupted him loudly, her tone arrogant and indifferent.
The Eighth Prince glanced at her with surprise, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. The Twelfth Prince's usually indifferent eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at her with a hint of surprise.
Only the Fifth Prince looked on in confusion and surprise, glancing at the Eighth Prince and then at Heyue: "Whose princess is this? So bold, she even dares to give you attitude!"
The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly, sensing the ill intent in the gentle tone.
It's not appropriate to say much about the questions surrounding the Fifth Prince.
He Yue had already mounted her horse and ignored them, riding away without looking back.
"Ha, even someone as charming as you as you can be disliked one day. She just walked away without even looking back." Fifth Prince patted Eighth Prince on the shoulder and teased him with a smile.
After walking for a short while, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.
He Yue frowned slightly, ignored him, and continued to increase the speed of his horse.
The sound of horses' hooves grew closer behind them, and soon someone caught up.
He Yue turned her head and looked at him with an unfriendly gaze. She saw a young man dressed in white with a calm expression. He smiled and said softly, "Your Highness is bold. I admire you. However, Eighth Brother instructed me to make sure that Your Highness is safely sent back before I feel at ease."
He was so indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about her attitude, that He Yue didn't know how to deal with him.
But even so, he could not change He Yue's determination not to associate with him.
She stopped her horse and turned to look at him.
The twelfth prince also stopped, raised his eyebrows, and looked puzzled.
"If Twelfth Master doesn't understand, I'll just say it directly: I want to take a walk alone. I hope Twelfth Master will grant my request?"
Her fearless and stubborn demeanor made the Twelfth Prince chuckle, his eyes bright and gentle.
Heyue glared at him.
Seriously, what are you laughing at! Don't think I'll be soft-hearted just because you're good-looking.
Neither last time nor this time had Heyue looked him over seriously, but now that she saw him smile, he looked particularly handsome.
He Yue looked at him seriously for the first time.
The twelfth prince was not as handsome as his other brothers. On the contrary, he was quite ordinary-looking. However, his features combined to create a pleasing appearance, especially his warm and gentle temperament, which made it easy for people to overlook his unremarkable looks.
Unlike the Eighth Prince, who always wore a fake smile, his smile was genuinely comforting and like a gentle breeze.
"Don't worry, Princess, I have no interest in you either." He said this with surprise.
I looked closely at his expression and made sure he wasn't lying; he genuinely didn't care.
"Then why..." Why did you chase after me?
He Yue didn't say these words aloud, but the Twelfth Prince seemed to understand her meaning. He smiled gently and looked ahead with a soft gaze: "Although Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law have never said it, I am not stupid and I can understand."
He Yue understood immediately; it turned out that neither the Eighth Prince nor his wife had explained this to him.
He Yue couldn't help but laugh. What made them so sure that the two of them would definitely fall in love?
Such an arrangement is far too frivolous.
I thought this kind of scene would only happen in my original world, but I never expected to encounter it here. It's really... unbelievable, and a bit ridiculous.
Once the two had talked things out, Heyue stopped caring and rode their horses slowly, appearing quite harmonious from a distance.
"When I first met you, I had a vague feeling that you were there, but since my brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, I was happy to pretend I didn't know. As for why I agreed to come here, to be honest, I didn't expect to meet you again. It seems that my sister-in-law is really enjoying this matter."
His slight raised eyebrow and somewhat mocking expression changed He Yue's impression of him a little.
So he wasn't always such a serious person after all.
For some reason, Heyue suddenly thought of Yuxiu. The two of them were quite similar in personality. They were both gentle and polite on the outside, and serious on the inside, but lively and unrestrained on the inside.
"Not to mention that I am not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others, even if I did have feelings for you, I would not let it develop. After getting to know you, I can also see that you are not that kind of person either. I am really curious, why would you let Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law scheme like this? Judging from your attitude just now, you should have realized it long ago."
The twelfth prince looked at her, his expression revealing his curiosity.
Why? Heyue fell into deep thought. After what the Thirteenth Prince said last time, Heyue should find the Eighth Prince's wife and question her about why she did that, or tell her that it was not worth the effort.
But she didn't. She acted as if nothing had happened and came anyway after receiving her invitation.
Naturally, this was because she hadn't expected to encounter the Twelfth Prince again today, and also because Heyue was unguarded towards the Eighth Prince's wife.
Even if you know, you can pretend you don't, and appear happy to see her.
If it were anyone else, He Yue believed she would have stopped associating with them long ago.
However, Heyue could not bring herself to stay away from the Eighth Prince's wife.
"Anyway, thank you for bringing me back. Farewell." He Yue didn't want to say more. Hearing voices ahead, she knew they were almost there, so she bid farewell to the Twelfth Prince.
The twelfth prince didn't ask any further questions and simply smiled in response.
Just as Heyue was about to leave, a shadow suddenly rushed out from the side, accompanied by people's exclamations.
"Ah! Help! Help me!" came the woman's terrified scream.
He Yue turned her head and saw a girl in red riding a horse, clinging to the horse's neck in a panic, rushing towards He Yue in the blink of an eye, kicking up a cloud of dust.
