Chapter 284: Even the Candidates for the Crown Princess Can’t Be Compared to You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Intuition told Liu s.h.i.+mei that she did not want to answer. She did not want to hear Huangfu He’s question either.
However, snubbing the Crown Prince like this would not be wise. After all, once she married into the Dunyu Residence and became a royal daughter-in-law, she would inevitably have to interact with the Crown Prince. Moreover, after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, a century later, there would be plenty of opportunities to get rid of Huangfu Lingyao, making life difficult for him and his wife.
Therefore, it was not a good idea to offend Huangfu He right now.
After giving it some thought, she replied, “Your Highness, feel free to ask, and this chancellor’s daughter will answer to the best of my knowledge. If 1 don’t know, I hope Your Highness won’t press me too hard.”
Huangfu He did not like her mentioning the word ” my daughter “, but he had to accept the distance she maintained. He asked slowly, “Whom do you think I should choose as the Crown Princess?”
Liu s.h.i.+mei did not expect him to ask such a question and looked up at him in surprise.
When she met his eyes that were filled with emotions, she pinched her own hand in her wide sleeve to calm herself down and not look away.
The more she avoided him, the more likely Huangfu He would think that she still had feelings for him!
Liu s.h.i.+mei looked into Huangfu He’s eyes and said, “The Crown Prince’s Consort selection is a major event for the country. This Crown Princess is going to become the mother of a country in the future and a.s.sist you in managing the harem. Talent and beauty are not the most important. Wisdom and strategy should be superior. Additionally, the Crown Prince won’t be content with just one concubine in his harem, so the chosen Crown Princess should be tolerant and understanding.”
She tilted her head and smiled. “In that case, Liu Yan’er, this kind of narrow-minded idiot, naturally can’t come out on stage. And a narrow-minded person like Princess Ping’an would not be able to take on such a great responsibility. The remaining ATiss Zhang and Miss Miao… We’ll see.”
The reason why she did not help her friend was not because she did not treat Zhang Miaozhen as a friend, but because she felt that Zhang Miaozhen was not too keen on chasing after the position of Crown Princess. Until she figured out the situation, it was better not to interfere.
“You’re not avoiding the truth at all and speak candidly,” Huangfu He remarked, surprised by her frankness.
She came from a scholarly family and was both talented and beautiful. In the past, she would not have used the term ‘idiot’!
Liu s.h.i.+mei pursed her lips and said, “Perhaps it was because the two of them offended this official’s daughter that this official stabbed them in the back?” Her straightforwardness surprised him even more.
However, Liu s.h.i.+mei only said it casually. She thought, ‘Huangfu He probably won’t make things difficult for me. He really likes Liu s.h.i.+mei. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just today, when 1 fell into the water, he, as the Crown Prince, actually jumped down to save me. This subconscious action shows his sincerity.’
However, it was a small matter because this kind of true and sincere person was easily criticized by others. She did not care about what others said. She was afraid Huangfu He’s persistent pursuit might bring disaster upon her.
A woman’s jealousy was the scariest thing!
Therefore, she took another step back and said, “Your Highness, this official’s daughter thinks you should leave.”
Huangfu He still had something to say, so how could he give in?
He had many things he wanted to say to her when he went out of the palace to meet her, but Huangfu Lingyao had stopped him from saying them.
At this moment, it was a G.o.dsend opportunity to say what was in his heart, “s.h.i.+mei, if you insist on choosing a candidate for the Crown Prince Consort, none of them are as good as you.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei was shocked.
She replied bluntly, “Your Highness, 1 don’t think it’s appropriate for us to discuss such matters between us!”
Huangfu He, however, took a step closer and said, “We are destined to be together, and our feelings are mutual.. If it weren’t for the unforeseen accident, how could we have missed this chance?”
