Chapter 441: The Princess with a Hard Life
Chapter 441: The Princess with a Hard Life
"And I can also promise you that no matter what the situation is now or in the future, I will never control your steps. If possible, I will also take time to go for a walk with you outside."
Qi Siyuan pursed his dry lips. As a crown prince, while enjoying the support of the people, he also had the responsibility to ensure that they lived and worked in peace and contentment.
But now there are only him and Qi Siyu in the royal family. If he chooses to give up, and this position falls into that person's hands, who knows how much trouble it will cause.
He and Qi Siyu have been brothers for many years, and as an elder brother, he knows that man's secret methods best.
If that time really comes, these loyal people who follow me will probably not end up well.
If he had a choice, he would rather not fight for that high position, and travel around the mountains and rivers with Yuxiu, wouldn't that be more beautiful?
However, he did not say these words out loud. It was destined to be something he could not do, and he would not use them to fool people.
What should I do? This guy’s conditions are really tempting.
Yuxiu was somewhat tempted. Although the palace was heavily guarded, it was unable to trap her.
If this man really did something to let her down in the future, it wouldn't be difficult for her to pack up and leave.
"This matter is a bit sudden, I have to go back and think about it carefully..."
Yuxiu looked up, and the angle was just right to face Qi Siyuan's Adam's apple. She couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and quickly lowered her head again.
"Then give me a deadline, and I'll come to your house when the time is up..."
Qi Siyuan was delighted that he was not rejected on the spot. He looked down from above and could see the blush on Yuxiu's face very clearly.
He understood that the little girl was shy, so he stopped pressuring her and considerately changed the subject.
"I guess what's going on over there will be discovered soon. I'll take you to a place first..."
At this time, the two of them were still hugging each other tightly. They looked at each other and were both very embarrassed.
"The place in front is where my eldest sister lives. You can just say that you have been here all the time. For other matters, just evade the question and say that you don't know..."
This time Yuxiu struggled again, and Qi Siyuan had no choice but to let her go.
However, seeing the little girl withdrawing from his arms with a red face, he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and couldn't help but play another little trick.
"Come with me. My eldest sister is very kind. It's just that my eldest niece has caught a cold these days, so she didn't go to the front to join in the fun today..."
He grabbed Yuxiu's wrist and didn't give her a chance to refuse, and pulled her forward quickly.
"Caught a cold? Is that serious..."
Sure enough, Yuxiu's mind was attracted by what he said. She let him hold her wrist and had no intention of struggling.
You have to know that in this era, the so-called cold infection can be fatal in severe cases.
"Fortunately, he has taken the medicine from the Imperial Hospital. I heard that he has started sweating. I think as long as he is well cared for, he will get better soon."
Qi Siyuan curled the corners of his lips slightly, holding Yuxiu's soft little hand, but still felt a little unsatisfied.
After thinking about it, he decided to go a step further and interlocked his fingers with hers, then he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Yuxiu was somewhat speechless, her eyes fixed on the two people's clasped hands. She opened her mouth but still did not say anything to refuse.
Oh my god, she remembered that she just said that she would think about it carefully, and did not agree to the marriage right away?
It is a principle that men and women should not touch each other. Even I, a time-traveling girl, understand it. How could Qi Siyuan, a native man, not know it?
Yuxiu was a little speechless, but when she saw the enlarged smile on the man's lips, she didn't say much and let him pull her forward.
The two of them walked through several alleys and finally arrived at the entrance of a very secluded palace.
Yuxiu had also heard some rumors about this eldest imperial sister mentioned by Qi Siyuan.
It is said that the girl was very beautiful and was the emperor's first child, so she was naturally held in the palm of his hand and cared for carefully.
It's a pity that even though she was born in such a wealthy place, her life is still not good.
Her mother died when she was young, and the emperor later placed her to be raised by another concubine, but that concubine also died within two years.
Although it was a coincidence, the message that the eldest princess had a hard life and would not marry anyone soon spread.
Because of this incident, the emperor looked at her with a strange look and no longer doted on her as much as before.
After this incident, no one was willing to accept her. The emperor had no choice but to let the palace maids and nannies serve her, and then granted her a remote and quiet palace to live in.
Later, as more and more children came into the palace, the emperor gradually paid less attention to the eldest princess.
Just like that, she grew up quietly in the palace. Later, it was the second princess's mother who arranged for the emperor to grant the second princess a marriage. Only then did the emperor remember that he had an older daughter whom he had not seen for a long time.
After all, she was the child he had loved, so the emperor still had some sincerity towards the eldest princess.
After some thought, he handed her marriage over to the Queen.
No matter what, her marriage must be arranged in advance.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that the elder sister had not yet married, but the younger sisters were given marriages first?
A child who has no love from his mother and no care from his father will certainly not have a good life.
In order to arrange a marriage for the Second Princess, the Second Princess's mother, Concubine Yu, collected a lot of information. They were all young men in the capital with outstanding character and family background.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was going to help the eldest princess find a husband, Concubine Yu was afraid that her daughter would be deprived of this good opportunity, so she used a little trick and married the eldest princess to a noble family, the Hu family.
The Hu family was originally very prominent, but because the later generations did not live up to their expectations, now it has fallen into ruin and is just an empty shell.
Moreover, such a family, who is self-righteous and unproductive, is extremely disdainful of the eldest princess from the royal family.
The eldest princess entered such a family. Not only was she not loved by men, she was also often bullied by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Fortunately, her body was in good condition and she soon became pregnant and gave birth to a well-behaved and lovely little girl.
However, this girl was not liked by the Hu family. Because of this incident, the Hu family found a sufficient reason and soon brought back several concubines for the prince consort.
The eldest princess didn't care about these things. She was used to living a quiet life in the palace in her early years. Now even though the man in the Hu family didn't love her and her parents-in-law didn't like her, it didn't matter.
She lived with her young daughter, and her life was mixed with happiness.
