The Eighth Prince replied softly, "I came here on a whim. It's good that you don't mind my sudden visit."
"How could I possibly dislike you?"
Jiujiu chuckled and handed the brown sugar date tea to the Eighth Prince. She said with a smile, "Little Eight, have some tea."
In front of Jiujiu, the Eighth Prince was like an obedient and sensible silly child. He really ate whatever Jiujiu gave him. He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing the Eighth Prince drink the brown sugar date tea prepared for Jiujiu in one gulp, Qing Liu only felt her face distort for a moment.
Qing Liu took a deep breath. She looked at Jiujiu, who looked proud because she finished the brown sugar date tea. Then she looked at the Eighth Prince, who had no idea what was going on. She sighed deeply and said, "Miss, I'll go and get those pastries and fruits."
Jiujiu waved her hand casually. "Go, go."
Zheng Shaoyu saw that the Eighth Prince and Jiujiu were chatting happily, so he said a few words and went to find General Zheng.
Instantly, only Jiujiu and the Eighth Prince were left in the room.
Jiujiu was casually eating melon seeds. She spat out the skin of the melon seeds while talking to the Eighth Prince about the more interesting things that happened recently.
The Third Prince had not seen Jiujiu for a long time. Now that Jiujiu was talking to him, he felt very happy. His eyes never left Jiujiu.
When Jiujiu was tired from talking, the Eighth Prince would pour a cup of tea for Jiujiu so that Jiujiu could moisten her throat and continue talking.
After drinking three large cups of tea, Jiujiu realized that she was the one talking all the time. On the other hand, the Eighth Prince had not said a word.
Jiujiu's cheeks reddened. She looked at the Eighth Prince and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"
The Eighth Prince smiled. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "I don't have anything interesting to tell Jiujiu in the palace. I'll listen to you, Big Sister."
Looking at the Eighth Prince's obedient appearance, Jiujiu habitually reached out and patted the Eighth Prince's head. She said with a smile, "You're so obedient. I don't know who will benefit from you in the future."
The Eighth Prince was startled by Jiujiu's words. Then, he looked straight at Jiujiu and suddenly said, "Big Sister, if, if I say that I want to marry you, will you be angry?"
The Eighth Prince's face was still very young. There was even some baby fat on his face that had not completely faded. However, his eyes were filled with determination. It was obvious that he was very serious about this.
Jiujiu did not expect the Eighth Prince to suddenly say that he wanted to marry her. After being startled, she asked the Eighth Prince rationally, "Do you know what marrying me means?"
The Eighth Prince shook his head.
He only knew that if he wanted to be with someone for a long time, he had to marry her and make her his wife. In this way, the two of them could be together for a long time. As for what marrying Jiujiu meant, he really did not know.
Seeing the Eighth Prince shake his head, Jiujiu knew that Jiujiu did not know what marrying her, the only daughter of the Great General, meant.
Jiujiu looked at the Eighth Prince's slightly confused face and said with a smile, "Your Imperial Father has a total of eight sons. Besides you, the remaining seven maternal families are all very powerful and have the possibility of competing for the position of Crown Prince."
Because the Eighth Prince knew that it was impossible for him to be the Crown Prince, he was not too sad about Jiujiu's words. He was just confused. What did this have to do with marrying Jiujiu?
"My father is the Defender-general of the State and holds the military power of the country. If you marry me, it means that you have my father's support and can stand out from the other princes. The possibility of becoming the Crown Prince will be greatly increased.
You have the lowest birth among the eight princes and do not have any maternal family. Therefore, the other seven princes will not do anything to you. But if you marry me, it means that you also want the position of Crown Prince. The other seven princes will definitely do something to you. Do you understand what I mean? "
The Eighth Prince did not expect that there would be so many twists and turns just because he wanted to keep Jiujiu by his side. He was a little stunned.
He knew that his status was low, so he really didn't have any other thoughts about that position. However, he didn't expect that if he wanted to be with Jiujiu, he would be tied to that position. This was something he didn't expect.
However, this matter made him start to think about that position for the first time.
If, if he got that position, he could be with Jiujiu forever. It seemed that it was not a big deal to get that position.
For the first time in his life, the Eighth Prince wanted to be the Crown Prince.
The Eighth Prince suddenly raised his head, looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Sister, will you marry me?"
If, if Jiujiu was willing to marry him, even if he had to die a horrible death, he would take that position.
Jiu Jiu did not expect that the Eighth Prince would suddenly ask her this question. After being startled for a moment, she said, "I'm willing. However, you are younger than me. I'm afraid that in the future, you will think that I'm old and yellow."
"I won't."
The Eighth Prince hurriedly refuted. Because he was too anxious, he grasped Jiujiu's hand and said, "Sister, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will only have you in my life."
"But people always have something to talk about. For example, I like red flowers today, but I may like yellow flowers tomorrow. You are a man. It's normal for you to have many wives. If you don't really want to take a concubine, I can't do anything about it."
"I'm willing to swear to God that if I take a concubine, I will die a horrible death. Sister, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will only have you in my life. Even if you want me to give you my heart, I will do it."
Looking at the Eighth Prince's red face because of anxiety, Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I believe you, but …"
"But what? Sister, just say it. "
"But I'm jealous. If you marry me, you won't be able to look at other women in the future. Are you willing?"
"Ruo's sister, I'm silently happy in my heart. Naturally, I will only have you in my heart. How can I look at other women? Sister, don't worry."
"You're so young, but you're so good at talking. I don't know what to say."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she thought for a while and said, "If you really want to marry me, I'm naturally willing. But, are you really willing to face all the things that you will have to face if you marry me?"
"As long as I can marry you, I will do anything. Even if, even if I have no interest in that position, if I can only marry you by sitting on that position, I will definitely put in a hundred percent effort to sit on that position."
"Then it's a promise."
Jiujiu looked at the Eighth Prince's red cheeks because of excitement and said with a smile, "If you don't betray me, the General's Estate will be at your disposal. But if you dare to betray me, I will consign you to eternal damnation."
"I, Zhao Jinyou, swear to God that I would rather betray the world than betray you. If I violate this oath, I will bear the pain of being struck by lightning."
