Ye Xingchen was so smart that he naturally understood what the prince meant: "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have someone I like, and we have already promised to spend our lives together and will get married soon.

Prince, you are a rare talent among men. You will definitely ascend to that position in the future. Your queen will be the mother of the country.

What I hate most are the rules of the palace. I like freedom and being unrestrained, and I hate intrigue and deception even more.

So we can be best friends. In the future, if you need me, I will definitely help you. I also hope that you can find a woman who you truly love and who loves you too."

Ye Xingchen directly rejected the prince. Since the two of them were impossible, they should not give each other any chances or misunderstandings. This would be good for both of them.

The prince looked a little embarrassed and picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all.

"Is that man the emperor's uncle?" asked the prince.

In fact, he should have guessed it long ago. The royal uncle is the King of Hell of Cangyue Kingdom, but he treats Ye Xingchen very differently. The last time he was at the Ye family, the royal uncle even asserted his sovereignty.

Ye Xingchen nodded: "It's the Regent."

"But the Regent's Palace has a lot of rules. The emperor's uncle has made countless enemies over the years. The entire royal family is keeping an eye on him. Isn't it dangerous for you to marry him?" the prince asked.

"The Regent said that I will be the one who makes the decisions when I marry him. The Regent has indeed made countless enemies. If he lives a dull life all day, wouldn't it be boring? A few people who come to die are just to kill time.

The Regent King can give up his status and position for me, live in seclusion in the mountains with me, and be an ordinary couple living a carefree life." Ye Xingchen replied.

The prince held the teacup in his hand and exerted a little force: "I can also give up the position of crown prince for you."

He didn't want to hide his feelings anymore, he just wanted to express his feelings.

"But you still have the Queen, and you are the Queen's only son. Even if you want to give up the position of Crown Prince, she will not agree.

Do you think she would let you marry a woman who has been married twice, or a woman who has divorced King Mo? Even if you threaten her with your life and the queen agrees, what about the ministers in the court of Cangyue Kingdom and the people of the country?

Since ancient times, no queen has ever divorced or remarried. You can give up the throne and become an ordinary citizen.

But other princes will fight for the throne, and your survival will be the biggest threat to them. They will not give up until you die.

Do you want me to live with you for the rest of my life, being assassinated and schemed by others?

The most important thing is, I don't like you, I just treat you as my best friend, as long as the prince needs it, I will do my best to help." Ye Xingchen explained the importance of this.

The prince was sad and touched. He was sad because Ye Xingchen didn't like him. In fact, he knew from the beginning that he couldn't compare to the emperor's uncle. He was touched because she said that she was a friend to him and would help him.

The prince took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart: "Since this is your decision, I respect you, but I want to tell you that my position as queen will always be reserved for you. As long as you say the word , I can marry you immediately.

If one day, the emperor's uncle makes you sad, or treats you badly, I hope you can give me a chance and let me take care of you. "

Every word is full of affection, and comes from the prince's heart.

Ye Xingchen was very touched: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince. I understand. I also hope you can be happy."

The prince's eyes were a little red. Without you, how can there be happiness? But he didn't say this out loud.

Since she has someone she likes, the prince chooses to bless her silently.

"I also hope you will be happy. You just said that you want to marry the emperor's uncle. Have you set the date?" asked the prince.

"The tenth day of next month is a good time to get married, and the date will be set on that day." Ye Xingchen answered truthfully.

"Then can I be the master of ceremonies for you?" the prince asked in a low voice.

Since they were not destined to be together, he only hoped to do his best and wish her happiness.

Ye Xingchen nodded: "Of course, it is my honor that the prince can come."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll be the master of ceremonies." The prince's eyes flashed with joy and sadness, and then he thought of something: "Father has always been very wary of the emperor's uncle. If he knew that you were getting married to the emperor's uncle, I'm afraid he would take some action?"

"The Regent has already discussed the wedding arrangements with me." Ye Xingchen said simply.

The prince did not expect that the emperor's uncle would be so thoughtful, and he admired him even more: "As expected of the emperor's uncle, I am inferior to him."

"Prince, there is no need to belittle yourself. You are already very good, and you will be a wise ruler in the future." Ye Xingchen praised.

"I'll lend you my good words."

Ye Xingchen chatted with the prince for a while before they left. No one knew what they talked about. The prince got drunk after he went back.

After Ye Xingchen returned to the Ye family, he used the teleportation talisman to go directly to the Regent's Palace and told Cang Boyi about himself and the prince.

She didn't want there to be any secrets between her and Cang Boyi.

After hearing this, Cang Boyi naturally got angry: "The little bastard, the crown prince, actually dared to steal my girl. Let me see how I will deal with him."

"He is just expressing his feelings to me, you are not allowed to touch him." Ye Xingchen replied.

Cang Boyi immediately felt jealous: "You are protecting him?"

"No, I just think he is more suitable for that position than the emperor. He will be a wise ruler in the future, so the people of Cangyue Kingdom need him." Ye Xingchen explained.

"So you just think that the people need him, that's all?" Cang Boyi asked tentatively.

Although he knew Xingchen's intentions, Cang Boyi was still a little worried about the position of queen thrown out by the prince.

The position of queen is what all women dream of, but his Xingchen is not one of them, because she simply doesn't like him.

But Cang Boyi still wanted to hear Ye Xingchen say it himself.

"Of course, it's you I like, it's you I love, and it's you I want to marry, so the Regent can rest assured now." Ye Xingchen knew that he was narrow-minded and expressed his feelings immediately.

Men are jealous and need to be coaxed.

"Don't worry. I will feel relieved with your words." Cang Boyi said.

This is what he wants to hear most, and it is also the most beautiful.

Cang Boyi pulled Ye Xingchen into his arms with his big hands and bent down to kiss her.

Cang Boyi didn't leave Ye Xingchen's thin lips until both of them were out of breath.

"I have never felt that time passes so slowly. I really wish it would be the tenth day of next month right away." Cang Boyi sighed.

He wished he could marry Ye Xingchen right away, hide her in his house, and keep her by his side for the rest of his life.

"It will only be a few days, and then the prince will officiate our wedding." Ye Xingchen said.

Cang Boyi was a little surprised. The prince's magnanimity and generosity surprised him: "Okay, it's up to you to decide."

"good."

The days that followed were very peaceful because Concubine Xuan died, Prince Mo fell, and all the ministers who had originally supported Prince Mo switched to supporting the Crown Prince.

For a time, the prince was the most popular person in the entire court, and the queen was naturally very satisfied to see this scene.

As long as the crown prince holds on to this position, it is only a matter of time before he inherits the throne.

It was the ninth night of the first lunar month. Tomorrow was the wedding day of the Regent and Ye Xingchen. A man in black entered the emperor's side hall.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that the Regent wants to marry Ye Xingchen!"
