“Hey…Ah Ning…this isn’t just a concept!”
The Crown Prince felt he couldn't explain himself clearly and was getting tangled up with Rong Ning. Frustrated, he quickened his pace and walked ahead of Rong Ning, who calmly watched him go crazy.
After walking a few feet away, she turned back with her head down and choked out, "Ah Ning, the 'like' I just mentioned is the kind of 'like' that means spending your whole life with that person, not just the kind of 'like' that girls have."
"oh……"
Rong Ning said calmly, "You like You Jiang, but can you spend your life with her? You are destined to marry Chu Pingyao, but do you like her?"
The prince was speechless, stammering and spreading his hands, unsure how to respond.
"Brother... I don't have that kind of liking right now. Whether it's a man or a woman, I have no intention of spending my life with anyone. I don't need anyone to stay with me. I don't have that kind of need."
At least not now!
As for your question about whether I like women…
Hmm... I like it...
I like everything or anyone that makes me happy.
This kind of happiness can come from a woman, a man, or even a delicious bowl of wontons from a street vendor. As long as it makes me happy and satisfied, I'll enjoy it.
Rong Ning knew that the Crown Prince's "like" referred to the liking between a man and a woman.
But I'm sorry, Rong Ning doesn't have that kind of affection right now, nor does she need it.
The Crown Prince understood her meaning and sighed slightly, saying, "A'Ning...you are a favored daughter of heaven, of noble status, but no matter how noble you are, you will eventually have to get married!"
Your father has already instructed the Imperial Concubine to learn about the appearances and character of the sons of various noble families in Nanyang City. After you come of age, your marriage should also be put on the agenda.
"Your father and I have already sacrificed Yang'er, so we don't want to wrong you any further. We only wish that you can marry a good man and do the things you want to do with him."
Upon hearing this, Rong Ning felt very confused. "I can do whatever I want to do myself, so why do I need someone else around to get in my way?"
And...brother...what kind of ideal husband do you think I should marry?
Or rather, in Nanyang city, which family would dare to marry someone as powerful as me?
“Ah Ning is destined to marry the best man in the world… As long as you like him… regardless of whether they are willing or not, you have to go along with it!”
Heh~
Rong Ning sneered, "I don't like to force people on these kinds of things. Or rather, until now, I've never seen what the best young man in the world looks like. Even if I had, I wouldn't want to get married!"
The crown prince disagreed, saying, "But what woman in this world doesn't get married?"
“My master never got married!” Rong Ning said, losing her patience. “That’s why she lived a very enlightened and open-minded life.”
“You are different!” The crown prince’s voice was tinged with sorrow. “You are a princess, the most noble woman in the world. Your status has given you unparalleled honor and is your solid support, but in a sense, it is also a shackle!”
shackles??
Rong Ning felt she had heard the biggest joke in the world and couldn't help but laugh loudly. She looked at the Crown Prince and said, word by word, "Brother... to tell you the truth, before my sister went to marry a foreign ruler, I thought that when I reached a certain age, I would find someone of a similar age to marry and live a comfortable life with my sister in Nanyang City."
But after my older sister left, that thought disappeared.
Brother, even though my sister has been gone for several months and her marriage to a foreign ruler is an unchangeable fact, even though I've thought about it a thousand times, I still can't understand how my sister, who always restrained herself according to the image of a perfect noble lady in the eyes of the world, would end up like this.
She did nothing wrong, in fact, she was flawless. She was kind, beautiful, and dignified. All the beautiful words in the world used to describe a woman could be used to describe her, but in the end, she gained nothing.
Brother, I just want to know, even if I don't marry or have children, aren't virtuous and gentle, and even venture into areas that women have never ventured into before, causing unrest for everyone and going in the complete opposite direction to my sister, what can the world do to me?"
