The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Although the hunter's house is shabby, it is clean. It must have been specially prepared to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Before falling asleep, Yang Qi was still worried that he would not be able to wake up the next day if he slept late today. Unexpectedly, he woke up the next day as soon as the sky was bright.

When Yang Qi finished washing up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Peilin were already having breakfast, but His Royal Highness was sitting at the table in the main hall, while Peilin was in the kitchen.

Seeing that the girl had packed up, His Royal Highness smiled and said, "You're awake, come and have dinner."

For some reason, Yang Qi felt that when the Crown Prince smiled, the whole room seemed to light up. His breathing became rapid and he could only stutter, "Your Highness, good... morning."

"It's a little early, but we have to set off after breakfast." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gestured to the stool next to him with his eyes. The dishes were already prepared.

It turns out that His Highness can speak so considerately and gently. I have really made a fortune these days.

She trotted to sit next to His Highness, and Yang Qi's eyes never left His Highness.

Placing a bun in Yang Qi's bowl, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, "Considering that we have to travel all day, we should eat less soup in the morning."

The reason for saying this is because His Highness knows that the girl likes to drink soy milk and milk every morning.

"Then Xiaoqi will eat a few buns today." Because of his experience in his previous life, Yang Qi has had a big appetite since he was a child in this life, and he wants to grow taller and stronger.

However, my appetite seems to have increased a bit these days.

There is not much food stored here, and today's breakfast is also simple, just a plate of buns and a few eggs.

"Yeah." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a bite of a bun and nodded to Yang Qi.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enjoyed the meal as if what he held in his hands was not an ordinary vegetable bun, but some kind of delicacy.

Yang Qi couldn't help but imitate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and took a bite of the same bun.

For a moment, the main room was quiet, as if only the night was gradually fading away as people had not yet had time to go home.

"Girl, do you have something to say?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince peeled an egg and put it in Yang Qi's bowl, speaking casually.

It's not that I'm being abrupt, but even though this girl has been happy these past few days, there has always been a hint of lingering sadness in her eyes, which makes me feel irritated.

Yang Qi swallowed the bun in his mouth, raised his head, looked into the fiery eyes of His Highness, felt a little gloomy in his heart, and could not help but nodded.

"It's just the right time now. If you have any questions, you can tell me now."

Can I really ask? Yang Qi's heart was filled with resistance and fear, but looking at His Highness's encouraging eyes, Yang Qi's concerns seemed to weaken a lot at this moment: "Your Highness, when you return to Beijing this time, will you marry Bai Yuxin?"

After asking this question, Yang Qi seemed to relax. This matter would finally have an answer.

The Crown Prince had already guessed about the girl's problem. Of course, this was exactly what the Crown Prince wanted to explain to Yang Qi.

"Yes, the Imperial Observatory has been counting the days. If nothing unexpected happens, the wedding ceremony will be held before the New Year." The emperor acted quickly. As soon as the decree for the marriage was issued, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Observatory had already performed their respective duties, and all the procedures were carried out extremely "smoothly".

Getting married before the end of the year? Suddenly, Yang Qi's eyes began to heat up: "So soon, marrying the Crown Princess is such a big event, there are so many rules, Xiao Qi thought... it would take a long time."

"Girl, do you care about this?"

The calm voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually confused Yang Qi. Shouldn't I care? Your Highness, you should know Xiao Qi's feelings.

"The man I love so much is about to marry another girl. Shouldn't I care about this?" Yang Qi's eyes were filled with confusion and grievance.

As early as a few days ago, in the secret base, Yang Qi expressed his feelings. Now, why should Your Highness pretend to be stupid?

Reaching out his hand, His Royal Highness wiped away the tears that streaked across the girl's face: "I thought you already knew that I had no feelings for Bai Yuxin. Besides, you saw with your own eyes how affectionate Bai Yuxin and Lao Wu were."

"Girl, I am the prince, I was made the prince when I was born.

Since I was a child, I have lived in Xihu and the capital.

In the capital, I saw peace and prosperity. The Grand Tutor told me that a ruler must learn to be benevolent and govern with kindness.

Do you know how it feels to be praised by everyone? A word you say casually can be remembered by countless people.

But this palace is a cannibalistic place.

Those who flatter you in front of others may be insidious and cunning behind their backs.

From childhood to adulthood, I have seen too many people being banished to the cold palace or the Ministry of Punishment because of a momentary negligence, and some were even directly sentenced to death.

What I saw in Xihu was completely different from what I saw in the capital.

Military pay is withheld every year, and civilians who have lost their loved ones can be seen everywhere.

My uncle told me that I must be a wise ruler and protect the people of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

I have seen with my own eyes that corrupt officials in the capital sold military intelligence to the enemy in order to protect their own glory.

At that time, I was full of lofty ambitions, but I was completely chilled by a simple sentence from His Majesty.

Although I am the prince, as soon as I show some weakness, the fifth brother will bite hard and trample me hard.

I have forgotten since when I threw away my smile and my happiness. I have to think over the situations everywhere several times every day before I can fall asleep peacefully.

In the past, it was because of the Huo family that I was able to sit on the throne of the crown prince.

But now, only if I sit on the throne of the crown prince can the Huo family be safe and sound."

His Royal Highness' words today lacked the logic of the past, but Yang Qi knew that these were the words from the deepest part of His Royal Highness' heart.

Today, Yang Qi saw loneliness in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time, and it was also the first time that she got to know Yuan Ruiyuan himself, rather than the "Crown Prince" as people called him.

"Girl, in such a huge palace, who would desire love?

The reason why Lao Wu is so close to Bai Yuxin is that he has taken a fancy to the Bai family behind Bai Yuxin. If he marries Bai Yuxin, he will have complete control over the Bai family. According to the current situation, what could be more worthy of Lao Wu's happiness than the Crown Princess favoring Lao Wu?"

Looking at Yang Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince touched Yang Qi's head and said, "Girl, I admit that I do like you.

But, do you know the current situation?"

I do like you.

I do like you.

I do like you.

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, Yang Qi immediately repeated it several times in his mind. His Royal Highness really liked her.

"Your Highness, Xiaoqi knows. Your Highness, you know that you are the most important person in Xiaoqi's heart.

Over the years, if it weren't for Your Highness, Xiao Qi wouldn't be who he is now."

Your Highness, Xiaoqi will work hard and will never let you repeat the mistakes of your previous life.
