Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

"Father, what you mean is... Xiao Qi might be Princess Tianxuan's child?"

The Emperor nodded, "Xuan Wu Yue's face is unparalleled in the world. It's impossible for someone to look this much like her."

"Unparalleled in the world?" The Empress snorted coldly, "If you couldn't bear to let her go, why didn't you marry her together back then?"

"..."

The Emperor realized that he had said the wrong thing, and whispered flatteringly: "Even if she is peerless, she is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you."

The emperor and empress ignored him and said to Song Huaijin.

"Huai Jin, think carefully. A woman like this is born with a sense of right and wrong. If you marry her, I'm afraid there will be trouble in Master Chu's family again."

Song Huaijin lowered his eyes and said, "This son is not... "

Halfway through his speech, he couldn't even say the rest with a clear conscience.

When they became sworn brothers, he always had a strange feeling towards Xiao Qi. After learning that Xiao Qi was a girl, that feeling became even stronger.

He couldn't help but hide her in the East Palace so that no one could find her, like a bandit hiding a treasure.

Although Chu Shitong has now lost her memory, Song Huaijin found that no matter what her personality was, as long as she stood in front of him, it seemed as if there was an irresistible magic that attracted him all the time.

The emperor and empress waited quietly for further news, but there was no further news.

"I knew you had a reason for refusing to get married." She sighed helplessly, "If it was someone else, it would be fine, but it had to be Xuan Wu Yue's daughter..."

Song Huaijin was silent for a moment, half-knelt on the ground, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a firm tone: "Father, Mother, I do have feelings for Xiao Qi. If you agree, I promise to concentrate on government affairs in the future and never waste my thoughts on other things."

The Emperor and the Empress looked at each other, both showing surprise.

Their son, whom they had carefully taught for 19 years but had never achieved anything, was actually willing to take over the government for the sake of a woman?

The Emperor smiled and said, "As expected of my son, you have the guts to do so."

The emperor and empress rubbed their brows helplessly.

As expected, like father, like son.

The Song family has been infatuated with love for generations, and the tradition of one emperor and one empress has been maintained for hundreds of years. I originally thought that Song Huaijin was a playboy who had no interest in romance, but I didn't expect that he was also a hidden romantic.

"You are willing to marry her, and will she marry you?"

Song Huaijin said: "I will ask her opinion. If she doesn't want to...I won't force her."

He vaguely remembered hearing Chu Shitong say that she had a fiancé.

I had previously mistakenly thought that my good brother was a homosexual, but now it seems that Chu Shitong is clearly going insane.

It seems that the fiancé has no special ability and is just a handsome man in her house.

Chu Shitong was being chased here, but he didn't hear any movement from that person. It seemed that he either ran away with the money or went to seek refuge with someone else.

Song Huaijin didn't mind at all that Chu Shitong had had a previous relationship. He even naively thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be able to impress Chu Shitong. It wouldn't matter even if she recovered her memory in the future... It was basically impossible to recover her memory, but he would always protect her and let her live peacefully in Qinglian without being affected by Beiqing's war and trickery.

The Empress was always worried about Chu Shitong's status in Beiqing. "If the Chu family knew that she had become your Crown Princess here, they would definitely not give up. They are all... dirty tricks..."

Beiqing is currently ranked second in Jiuzhou. Although it is a long way from the first place Qinglian, it is still more powerful than other small countries.

The Chushi family is notorious in Jiuzhou. Small countries try to curry favor with them because they are afraid of Beiqing, but Qinglian, the dominant family, simply disdains to have anything to do with them.

There is no other reason, what the Chu family has done is really hard to talk about.

The founding emperor did all kinds of immoral things, including setting fire to cities and executing envoys, and demolishing bridges after crossing rivers and cutting off military supplies. There is no one in the Nine Provinces who deserves more criticism than the surname Chu Shi.

Even Qinglian doesn't want to go to war with Beiqing. Who knows what outrageous things Master Chu and his family can do. Maybe they dare to poison the common river between the two countries, and at least injure 800 others even if they lose a thousand of their own.

Although Tianxuan was not as powerful as others back then, he still had some backbone. The people of Master Chu's family would do anything to get their way.

Song Huaijin knew the concerns of the Emperor and Empress, and took the initiative to speak.

"If Xiao Qi is willing to marry me, I will give her the entire Kyushu."

The words fell.

The hall was eerily quiet.

Song Huaijin said this very seriously, so seriously that the Emperor and the Empress were a little overwhelmed.

The Emperor was silent for a long time, then asked, "You are so infatuated with this Xiao Qi?"

"Yes."

Song Huaijin said frankly: "I have promised."

He once said that if his Xiaoqi was a girl, he would definitely marry her and give the entire Kyushu to her.

The Empress smiled helplessly and said, "This woman can actually inspire you to fight. Forget it, just take care of your own business."

……

East Palace.

With the permission of the Emperor and the Empress, Song Huaijin walked briskly along the way.

The first thing I did after returning to the palace was to go straight to Lan Qi's courtyard.

White walls, black tiles, and a nine-curve corridor.

Song Mingzhu and Lan Qi sat in the pavilion at the corner. The pond was full of green lotus and golden hibiscus, the flowers were in full bloom, and the pond was full of koi.

The breeze blew across the river, blowing up the strands of hair at Lan Qi's temples. Song Huaijin almost ran to her, his handsome face showing an excitement that was hard to conceal.

"Xiaoqi."

Lan Qi heard this and looked up.

In the past few months, Song Huaijin has been guiding her to recall the past, but the complete blockage of her memory has left her eyes still confused. Her eyes are as clear as a pool of water, as clean as a newborn baby.

"His Royal Highness."

Although Song Huaijin had promised Lan Qi that she didn't have to bow, her body's subconscious made her unable to help but abide by the rules.

Song Huaijin seemed to have predicted her behavior and took the initiative to hold her shoulders when she tried to salute.

"No need to be polite, I have something to ask you."

Song Mingzhu on the side said sarcastically: "Brother, what are you doing in such a hurry? Xiao Qi and I are just chatting about the theater."

Song Huaijin's gentle expression disappeared the moment he heard Song Mingzhu's words. He turned his head and looked at her coldly.

"Song Mingzhu, if you have nothing else, go back to your princess's mansion. Xiao Qi and I have something to discuss."

Song Mingzhu:? ?

"Brother, are you reasonable?" She was so angry that she almost laughed. "Isn't there a first come first served rule in the Eastern Palace? I was the first one to talk to Xiao Bai here. Why do you think you can take the upper hand?"

Song Huaijin was in a good mood and didn't intend to argue with his stupid sister. He snapped his fingers and two secret guards appeared.

Song Mingzhu felt that something bad was going to happen and subconsciously stepped back.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to throw me out again?"

Song Huaijin was too lazy to pay attention to her and just gave the secret guard a look.

The two secret guards understood what was meant and stepped forward to surround Song Mingzhu.

"Princess, please."

Song Mingzhu was sent out of the East Palace by two secret guards while cursing.

Suddenly, Song Huaijin and Lan Qi were the only ones left in the pavilion.

Lan Qi always felt that Song Huaijin looked at her with eyes as ferocious as those of a wolf, but she could also sense the politeness of a gentleman in his actions. This strange feeling made her inexplicably suspicious of Song Huaijin.

"Xiaoqi."

Song Huaijin pulled Lan Qi to sit down. The devil who had always been carefree and unrestrained couldn't help but speak in a soft voice in front of his beloved.

"I have something I want to discuss with you...I wonder if you would be willing?"

He carefully observed the expression on Lan Qi's face.

She was still calm and indifferent, as if the fall of the sky had nothing to do with her.

"Your Highness, please speak."

Song Huaijin felt very uncomfortable all over. It was the first time he took the initiative to confess his feelings to someone. His previous free and easy and romantic spirit was suppressed by the nervousness in his heart and he had no place to vent. He wanted to make the atmosphere more cheerful, but was afraid that Lan Qi would think he was too frivolous.

In a dilemma, he still chose to take it seriously.

Even if it's a bit rigid, it's better than being mistaken for being frivolous.

"I..." Song Huaijin's Adam's apple rolled, and he hesitated for a long time before asking in a hoarse voice: "If I say I want to marry you, will you agree?"

Lan Qi was slightly startled, his confused eyes seemed to be thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

Song Huaijin immediately explained: "I'm not the kind of man who flirts with women. I want to marry you because I really like you. Don't worry, after marrying you, I will never have any relationship with other women. We in the Song family are all devoted to one woman... So... are you willing?"

The dignified Prince Qinglian's hands were shaking when he confessed his love to his beloved.

Lan Qi fell into deep thought.

Song Huaijin felt uneasy, and this feeling of uneasiness turned into words that he kept mumbling out.

"I will treat you well and protect you. I know you don't remember anything now, but it doesn't matter. I will find a way to help you restore your memory. I know it's a bit hasty to ask you this now... I won't force you to agree now, even if you are willing to give me a chance."

There were continuous wars in Beiqing. Song Huaijin's spies sent a secret report saying that Chu Shitong's old subordinates had long been dispersed, the mansion was deserted, and there were wars both inside and outside.

The imperial physician said that in Chu Shitong's current condition, it was likely that she would not be able to recover her memory, so Song Huaijin came up with the idea of ​​marrying her and letting her stay here as the Crown Princess, so that she would not have to get involved in Beiqing's affairs. With his protection, no one in Chu Shitong's family would dare to have any ideas about her.

Lan Qi looked at Song Huaijin quietly, and Song Huaijin was so nervous that he was sweating coldly.

I have never encountered such a stressful thing in my life.

Even when he was being hunted by various assassins in the past, he thought it was just a piece of cake. But this time was different. Getting married was a lifelong event for him, and she was the only person he had ever thought of marrying.

"Ok."

This is Lan Qi’s answer.

The tone was calm and indifferent with a hint of obedience.

It seems like it’s okay to get married or not.

Song Huaijin was stunned.

The joy that filled his head afterwards made him unable to help but hug Lan Qi tightly. In that instant, the hug seemed to give him the whole world.

"That's great, Xiaoqi! I knew you like the second brother too, right!"

Lan Qi was a little breathless in his embrace and tried to push him away.

"His Royal Highness."

Song Huaijin realized his impoliteness and quickly let go of her hand. However, he was reluctant to let go too much, so he held her in his arms and lowered his head to her forehead, his movements and tone being unspeakably gentle.

"Xiao Qi, I'm so happy that you can promise me..."

Looking at Song Huaijin's raised mouth corners, Lan Qi felt happy in her heart for some reason, as if she could feel his feelings at this moment.

Just don't know why.

I always feel like there's something empty somewhere in my heart.

I can't remember anything.

Song Huaijin acted like he had a baby. He held Lan Qi in his arms and whispered a lot in her ear.

"Tomorrow I will announce to the entire Qinglian that you will be my Crown Princess and future Empress."

"Xiao Qi, do you think we should change our current East Palace? Change it to what you like, and change the names of the palaces to what you like. Change everything to what you like, okay?"

"Do you think my eldest brother would be surprised if I sent him a wedding invitation? Hahaha, I didn't expect that our marriage would isolate him."

Seeing Song Huaijin's happy expression, Lan Tong also felt a false sense of happiness.

She couldn't remember anything.

But listening to Song Huaijin's description, she felt very happy.

It seemed as if the days to come would be just as he described, plain yet filled with countless little joys.

But there was always a feeling of suffocation that seemed to come silently from all directions, making her feel inexplicably depressed.

She didn't know where this feeling came from, maybe it was related to the lost memories.

But at this moment, she guessed.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't want the memories of the past.

Because life right now is already very happy.

Even if I can't remember the memories from the past, they still feel heavy.

"Xiao Qi...you can't keep calling yourself by this name. Your last name is Lan, so why not call yourself... Lan Tong?"

The name of the Crown Princess announced to the world cannot be the number "seven", it must be a legitimate name.

Song Huaijin always felt that the word "Tong" was very suitable for Chu Shitong, so he simply used her former surname and the last character of her real name to form a name.

"What do you think of this name?"

Lan Qi blinked.

"Ah."

"From now on, just call me Huai Jin. Don't call me Your Highness the Crown Prince anymore. It sounds too distant."

Lan Qi didn't seem to like calling him "Second Brother". Song Huaijin guessed that Chu Shitong was subconsciously highly sensitive about rules, so he was unwilling to call him "Second Brother" without knowing his own identity, so he had been calling him "Your Highness the Crown Prince" for the past few months.

Now that he had agreed to the marriage, he could legitimately let Chu Shitong call her by her name.

"Okay." Lan Qi said softly, "Huai Jin."

When Song Huaijin heard her gentle voice calling him, he felt his heart soften.

Marrying Lan Qi was not a spur of the moment decision. Besides being related to the former Chu Shitong, the main reason was that he found that he liked the current Lan Qi even more.

In his eyes, Xiao Qi used to be a quirky little brother, but now Lan Qi is his sweetheart whom he can't take his eyes off.

He had never seen such a clean and well-behaved person.

Song Huaijin even wondered if Chu Shitong had been raised normally when she was born, would she have the personality she has now? If she had not experienced such a painful childhood and torture, she would probably be like the rumored Princess Tianxuan, innocent and well-behaved, naive and well-behaved.
