Chapter 147 Qin Wanying still wants him to pursue
The crown prince felt depressed.
The Crown Prince was always humble and liked to reflect on his own problems when faced with issues.
He wanted to know why Qin Wanying was unwilling to marry him. If it was his problem, he could find a way to improve it.
【I have no desire to be the Crown Prince's consort. The Crown Prince can't possibly marry only one woman his entire life; if I marry him, I'll have to fight with all those women in the inner palace.】
As a modern person, she simply cannot accept a man having multiple wives and concubines.
I find palace dramas quite entertaining, but if I were to actually engage in palace intrigue, I'd rather she just kill herself.
The crown prince understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
How did you know I would marry so many women?
He's so annoyed by all the women in the inner quarters, always chattering and fighting. It'll shorten his lifespan; he'd never marry so many.
However, this matter cannot be discussed now, as it is inappropriate to say it in this setting.
I must find an opportunity to tell Qin Wanying my true thoughts in the future.
Qin Rufeng understood.
In their family, the father only married the mother; he did not take any concubines or maids.
The Dingbei Marquis's family had always been a loving and harmonious couple, and their children were also brothers who were respectful to each other.
Influenced by their parents, they also believed that a man should only marry one woman.
Qin Rufeng also hoped that his younger sister would marry someone who would treat her well and only marry her.
From this perspective, the crown prince was indeed not a good match.
Unlike other families, the Qin family doesn't expect to rise in social status and elevate the entire family by marrying off their daughters.
No matter who it is, if I don't like him, I won't marry him!
Luckily, my younger sister was clever enough to come up with such a solution; otherwise, if His Majesty issued an edict, we really wouldn't have been able to disobey it!
That being said, my younger sister is already fifteen this year, and it's time for her to start looking for a suitable man to marry.
Actually, I think the most suitable age for a woman to get married is forty-five.
Crown Prince: ......
Qin Rufeng: ......
Is 45 the most suitable age for a woman to get married?
Isn't this the age when I'm supposed to be a grandmother?
Qin Rufeng glanced at Qin Wanying and was deeply impressed.
Wan Ying, you're really something!
I wonder if my parents would faint if they heard me say that.
[After getting married, I should focus on my family, but I also need to make money and build my career! I still want to travel and have fun! How can I get married so young!]
In her modern-day mindset, she believed in taking advantage of her youth to build a career and make money, and in taking advantage of her physical strength to travel more.
The Crown Prince's face darkened, and he turned his head away so that Qin Wanying wouldn't see his expression.
Married at forty-five?
Qin Wanying, what are your thoughts?
Is this the kind of thought a normal woman would have?
In the time of Emperor Yao, women who were over twenty and still unmarried would become extremely anxious, and their fathers' families would spend their days finding matchmakers.
But she's great!
I want to get married at 45!
The Crown Prince glanced at Qin Wanying again.
This girl looks innocent, but I never expected that her thoughts are anything but innocent; they're even a bit unconventional.
However, in some ways, they are similar.
His father thought he was obedient and sensible, but he had decided to marry only one wife, which was considered unconventional.
Thinking of this, the crown prince couldn't help but smile.
If you want money, I have it!
Once you marry me, you'll have the key to my private treasury, and you can spend as much as you want.
If she wanted to go out and play, Emperor Yao had a vast territory. Once the world was at peace, he could send someone to take her out to play.
Moreover, this crown prince also has a white moonlight, a woman he cherishes dearly.
The prince almost choked.
I have no idea when this happened!
He had never heard the term "white moonlight" before, but he could roughly guess what it meant.
When did he have a white moonlight? When did he have a woman he cherished so dearly?
I wanted to listen some more, but there was no response from Qin Wanying again.
He wanted to explain, but if he explained now, wouldn't it expose the fact that he could hear Qin Wanying's thoughts?
It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to say it later.
After inspecting the Imperial Academy, the Crown Prince's expression turned slightly unpleasant.
The Chancellor of the Imperial Academy was very good at reading people's expressions and assumed that the Imperial Academy had not done well and had displeased His Highness the Crown Prince. He was filled with trepidation.
After respectfully seeing the Crown Prince off, the Chancellor began to give a speech, saying that the Crown Prince was not satisfied with the work of the Imperial Academy and that the management of the Imperial Academy should be strengthened and the duty hours extended, and so on.
This caused great distress to everyone at the Imperial Academy.
The culprit, Qin Wanying, had no idea what was going on. She took a stroll around the Imperial Academy and then left happily.
After leaving the Imperial Academy, the Crown Prince hurried to the palace to see his father, the Emperor.
"Father, it seems that discussing the marriage with Marquis Dingbei cannot be rushed." Although the Crown Prince thought this to himself, he was actually extremely anxious.
"Today, I saw Qin Wanying at the Imperial Academy and overheard her talking to someone. I discovered that Qin Wanying dislikes getting married too early and has no desire to marry into the royal family." This was the Crown Prince's prepared statement; he couldn't very well tell his father that he could hear Qin Wanying's thoughts.
The emperor nodded.
He understood what was going on.
Many people are desperate to marry into the royal family, while others dislike the intrigues of the harem and are unwilling to marry into the royal family.
"This isn't something she can decide. If I issue an edict, can she disobey it?" The Emperor's voice carried an unquestionable tone.
“Father, if Qin Wanying wants to defy the imperial decree, you really can’t do anything about it. She can simply say that she has received a divine revelation that if she marries a member of the royal family, it will affect the fate of the Great Yao Kingdom and bring disaster to the Great Yao Kingdom.”
"At that time, those ministers who know Qin Wanying's abilities will also strongly oppose it, and Qin Wanying will not be able to get married," the Crown Prince said solemnly.
The emperor stopped talking.
The Crown Prince's words do make sense.
Qin Wanying really dares to defy the imperial decree. Since she defied it, I really can't do anything about it.
"Then, in your opinion, what should be done?" the Emperor asked.
The crown prince pondered for a long time on the way and came up with a plan.
If he wants to marry Qin Wanying, he must make Qin Wanying willingly marry him.
How can I get Qin Wanying to marry me willingly?
That is to cultivate a relationship with Qin Wanying.
"Father, I hope to create an opportunity to develop a relationship with Qin Wanying."
The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince and smiled.
When he was asked to marry Yan Yuelan before, he wasn't very enthusiastic. He had an attitude of "you arrange it, I'm fine with whatever you want," as if he didn't care whether he could marry her or not.
What's going on this time? Why is he so concerned about Qin Wanying?
It seems his son has truly fallen in love.
The Crown Prince told the Emperor about his plan.
The Emperor thought the plan was acceptable, so he went to make the arrangements.
The crown prince emerged from the palace, his heart filled with trepidation.
He didn't know if he could make Qin Wanying fall in love with him.
This feeling is amazing.
He was originally the crown prince, the heir apparent of the country.
Logically speaking, he could marry any kind of woman he wanted.
But Qin Wanying wouldn't let him do as he pleased; she still wanted him to pursue her.
The Crown Prince felt that Qin Wanying had given him a taste of what it was like to be an ordinary person, a feeling he had rarely experienced since birth.
