Xia Ting left, and He Yue silently pondered her last words.
Even so, Xia Ting was happy to do it.
It's clear that Xia Ting truly loves the Crown Prince; even knowing his fate, she still throws herself at him.
Do women become blind once they fall in love?
He Yue had never experienced this before; she didn't understand or comprehend such feelings.
Just like when her sister fell in love with that scumbag and was heartbroken by him, Heyue thought at the time how much better it would have been if her sister hadn't loved him like that. Love really is a terrifying thing.
He Yue had decided that she would never follow in her sister's footsteps.
This time, her older sister fell in love with someone again. He Yue wasn't sure if her sister had chosen the right person this time, but she was worried about her sister's future.
In this era, it is normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Could someone with a fiery temper like my sister tolerate that?
Even if the Eighth Prince only has his sister as a woman now, what about in the future?
The only son of the Eighth Prince was not born to his wife. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, his sister was divorced by the Eighth Prince and sent back home.
He Yue didn't take Xia Ting's advice seriously and quickly forgot about it.
Because the imperial concubine selection was in six months, her mother hired a nanny to teach her sixth sister manners. The sixth sister was in a state of misery every day and lost her freedom once again.
However, there has been no progress between Sixth Sister and Yiduli yet, and Heyue is worried that Sixth Sister will inevitably end up entering the palace or marrying Fourteenth Prince.
Heyue couldn't help but ask her mother, "Sixth Sister has chosen a concubine; is she going to marry Fourteenth Prince?"
Lady Irgen Gioro slapped her on the head, laughing in exasperation, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that? It's not that easy to marry into the royal family!!"
Heyue complained, "It was the Fourteenth Prince who said it. He asked the Emperor to grant Sixth Sister a marriage, but Sixth Sister doesn't like the Fourteenth Prince."
Yiergenjueluo patted her head and comforted her, "Sixth Sister will not marry Fourteenth Prince, don't talk nonsense."
"Has Mother thought of a way?" Heyue grabbed her mother's sleeve and pressed for an answer.
Because of her young age, her mother was reluctant to say more: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Your father and mother will consider it."
Heyue persisted, pressing for an answer. Unable to dissuade her, Irgen Gioro sighed, "Father and Mother have already found a suitable match for Xiao Liu."
"Who is it?" Heyue asked in surprise, not expecting that her father and mother had already made preparations.
I don't know if it's Yiduli, but my aunt is clearly unwilling. How can my mother and father persuade her?
“It’s the son of one of your father’s colleagues. Xiao Liu will live a good life in the future. Xiao Qi, you must not tell Xiao Liu! Do you understand?” Irgen Gioro warned Heyue.
Heyue's heart sank. Judging from her mother's expression, it wasn't Yiduli. It seemed she hadn't been able to persuade her aunt.
"What about Yiduli? Does Aunt still not like Sixth Sister?"
“Wu Yunzhu is right. She is Yiduli’s mother. It’s normal for her to do this. Your father and I didn’t consider their position and only thought about ourselves. It’s not good for them that Xiao Liu entered the Yiergenjueluo family. Xiao Qi, don’t blame your aunt.”
He Yue felt heavy-hearted, but still nodded.
However, since the man Sixth Sister is going to marry is someone good, he should be able to pass the test of her father and mother. At least Sixth Sister will not suffer any grievances. If Sixth Sister marries Yiduli, with her aunt around, Sixth Sister will inevitably suffer.
Perhaps Father and Mother made the right choice, but it was unfair to Sixth Sister, who was unaware of the situation.
Heyue hesitated whether to tell her sixth sister.
Today I went to the Fourth Prince's wife's place, and on my way out, I suddenly decided to go to a rockery I passed by on the way to the front courtyard.
Heyue climbed up the artificial hill, put her hands behind her back, looked up at the warm sunset, and unconsciously thought of the time she rode a horse and watched the sunset with the Thirteenth Prince. She couldn't help but smile.
Just then, Cao Cao arrived.
The boy's hoarse voice, indicating he was going through puberty, rang out, accompanied by a familiar presence nearby.
"What are you doing here?" The Thirteenth Prince jumped up, sat down next to her, and looked at her sideways.
Heyue's eyes lit up when she saw the suddenly appearing Thirteenth Prince: "Your kung fu is really good, can you teach me?"
She really admired the ancient people's so-called light-footed skills; they could leap up in an instant, it was so cool!
The Thirteenth Prince made an "uh" sound, scratched his head, and laughed: "I'll bring you up here later."
"Can't I?" Heyue snorted in dissatisfaction.
The Thirteenth Prince quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just that this is too difficult. You're a girl, so you shouldn't learn it. Anyway, I'm here, and I won't let you get hurt."
He Yue pouted and turned her head away.
The thirteenth prince leaned closer, cautiously examining her: "Are you angry?"
Heyue ignored him and rested her chin on her hand, watching the sunset.
The thirteenth prince followed her gaze and fell silent for a moment.
"What are you looking at?" Heyue turned her face away and saw him staring unblinkingly at the horizon, and snorted softly.
"Just like you, watching the sunset!" The Thirteenth Prince grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
It's truly dazzling...it's impossible to look away.
Heyue smiled gently, like a flower blooming in March. Her delicate, pink cheeks looked even softer and more radiant in the glow of the setting sun.
The thirteenth prince blushed instantly, but couldn't help staring at her, lost in thought.
He Yue was slightly annoyed and glared at him: "What are you looking at!" She looked fierce, but there was a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment in her expression.
The Thirteenth Prince quickly averted his gaze, feeling somewhat flustered and at a loss, but because he was next to her and could feel her joy and anger, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Heyue didn't linger any longer. She jumped off the artificial hill, dusted herself off, and left, thus avoiding the awkward situation just now.
It was already dark when they returned to the manor. Heyue thought about how her sixth sister had been learning etiquette all day and wondered how she was doing, so she went to her sixth sister's room.
Before even entering the house, I heard my sixth sister's pitiful screams of "Ouch, ouch," as if she were in a particularly terrible state.
As soon as I stepped into the green gauze curtain, I saw Sixth Sister lying on the bed, with her maids Peiyu and Zanyun massaging her shoulders.
Having experienced that kind of pain, Heyue naturally understood Sixth Sister's feelings. She quietly walked over and raised an index finger to the two maids.
The two maids fell silent, and Heyue stepped forward to massage Sixth Sister's shoulders in place of Zanyun, listening to Sixth Sister's weak complaints.
"Ouch, I'm exhausted, and it hurts so much! When will this end?!"
He Yue chuckled inwardly, feeling a mixture of schadenfreude and sympathy.
"Hey, hey, be gentle, be gentle..." Yan Yue's face paled, and she raised her hand to signal.
He Yue quickly loosened her grip and leaned down to breathe into Sixth Sister's ear: "Are you feeling better?"
Feeling an itch on her neck, Yan Yue seemed to realize something was wrong and turned her head to look over. Upon seeing He Yue, she immediately pouted, looking like she was about to cry. She turned around and hugged He Yue, like a wronged child.
"Oh, it's so good to see you. This job is inhuman; I feel like I'm half dead. I don't know how the people in the palace survive." There was a hint of sorrow and sympathy in her voice.
Taking advantage of the moment, Heyue pinched her sixth sister's cheek, thinking to herself how comfortable it felt to pinch it, but said casually, "Mother said it will get better after a few days."
