Jiu Jiu stared at the Eighth Prince as he finished his oath. She smiled and said, "You must remember what you said today. If you dare to turn your back on me, even if the heavens don't do anything to you, I will make you suffer."
"If I don't treat you well, Jiujiu doesn't have to do it. I won't forgive myself."
The Eighth Prince looked at Jiujiu with sparkling eyes, and Jiujiu couldn't help but touch his eyelids.
The Eighth Prince's face was very hot. The moment Jiujiu touched it, it was like a drop of water touching a hot rock, instantly evaporating into water vapor.
The Eighth Prince looked at Jiujiu's fingers sliding on his face with longing, as if he was looking at a satellite of his own star. In his eyes and in his heart, there was only room for Jiujiu.
Jiujiu slowly withdrew her hand and said to the Eighth Prince with a smile, "Since you have thought it through, then you have to take action. After all, you are not the only one who wants to marry me."
None of the other seven princes didn't want to marry her.
Thinking that he still had such strong enemies, and that each of them was more powerful than himself, the Eighth Prince instantly felt stressed.
When Zheng Shaoyu came back, he saw that the Eighth Prince, who was full of joy when he left, had a serious face.
Zheng Shaoyu looked at the Eighth Prince, who had a serious expression, and then looked at Jiujiu, who had a normal expression. He wondered in his heart, 'Could it be that my little sister bullied the Eighth Prince?'
However, if his little sister had really bullied the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince should have left in a huff, instead of continuing to sit beside Jiujiu and look at Jiujiu with a serious face.
Zheng Shaoyu thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what had happened between Jiujiu and the Eighth Prince. In the end, he could only come to a conclusion.
It was really difficult to understand the children's world.
The Eighth Prince came to the General's Mansion, so he naturally had to have lunch before leaving.
After lunch, Jiujiu sent the Eighth Prince and Zheng Shaoyu away, and then she continued to stay in the General's Mansion as a young lady. Every day, besides eating and drinking, she learned zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
In the past, Zheng Shuxian was playful and was good at eating and drinking, but she knew nothing about zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Later, in order to marry the Third Prince, she reluctantly learned some of them.
Jiujiu, on the other hand, was different. Jiujiu already had a foundation, and with just a little bit of learning, she was able to surpass her teacher. Even her teacher could not help but praise her.
Jiujiu's excellence made General Zheng and Cheng Wanxin, who were originally worried that their daughter would be taken by a pig, even more reluctant to let her go. Their daughter was so excellent. How could they let others take advantage of her?
After the Eighth Prince knew that marrying Jiujiu meant that he had to sit on the throne and compete with his seven brothers for the position that was out of his reach, he began to think about how he could climb to that position.
The current Emperor had eight sons, and the other seven sons were all from famous families. He was the only one who was born of a palace maid, and his presence was the weakest among the eight princes. He was the one who posed the least threat to the position of Crown Prince.
Because of this, the other seven disciples all ignored him.
After all, you were afraid of someone who could threaten you, but would you be afraid of someone who was completely harmless?
Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince felt that he could make an issue out of the fact that he posed no threat to them.
Because he had no backing, he was the one who was least likely to sit on the throne. Therefore, as long as he could give a reasonable explanation for what he did, the other seven would not take him seriously.
Born in the royal family, they were fighting for that position.
Even the Emperor was like this. Therefore, the royal family had been fickle since ancient times. It was more difficult than ascending to heaven to find true love in the royal family.
Everyone said that the men of the royal family were fickle. the Eighth Prince also thought so before. However, until he met Jiujiu, he suddenly understood that it was not that the men of the royal family were fickle, but that they had not met the person who could make them desperate. If that person was Jiujiu, he would be more affectionate than anyone else.
Once people got older, they could not help but desire what they did not have before.
The current Emperor stood out among his five brothers and became the Crown Prince. In order to stabilize his position, he killed or demoted his five brothers after he ascended the throne. He had no relatives by his side.
As for his concubines, they were sent to him by aristocratic families in order to nurture their children into the next Crown Prince. He knew better than anyone else how much they loved him.
His concubines who lived with him day and night were like this, not to mention his sons. None of them did not want the position under his butt.
Obviously, he was in the Imperial Palace and lived a life above everyone else, but the Emperor was like a loner. Except for the eunuchs who were close to him, he did not even have anyone to talk to.
Because there was no one, he desired it even more.
the Eighth Prince felt that the Emperor must be like him before he met Jiujiu, longing for a person's true feelings.
Compared with the other seven brothers, he was the one who had the most advantage in getting the Emperor's true feelings.
First of all, he was the one with the worst background among the eight princes. Second, he did not have any maternal family behind him. Moreover, he was the one with the weakest sense of existence. If he showed that he had no desire for that position, the Emperor would definitely favor him.
In this way, his advantage was simply too great.
the Eighth Prince was not stupid.
After the Third Prince ascended the throne, he was able to imitate the previous Emperor and survive when the other princes were either killed or demoted. This showed his intelligence. Now, when a smart person wanted to get something, it was the peak of his intelligence and acting skills.
The prerequisite for successfully gaining the Emperor's trust and favor was that he had to stand out and let the Emperor know of his existence as a son.
Soon, the Eighth Prince had an opportunity.
The Grand Tutor wrote an essay on how to rule the country.
The other princes just repeated the same old tune and added some of their own shallow understanding. At first glance, it seemed to make sense, but after careful consideration, it was just an old tune and there was no new meaning.
After the Eighth Prince saw this essay, he racked his brains and focused on the aspects of the people's nobility, taxes, self-cultivation, and so on.
He wrote a long article, and at the end of the article, there was even some suspense.
The essay on ruling the country was naturally an assignment given by the Emperor. He wanted to see which of his children was the most talented in ruling the country.
After the princes handed in the essay, the Grand Tutor naturally transferred it to the Emperor.
However, the seven princes wrote nothing new. After all, it was nothing more than the same tune. The Emperor almost fell asleep after reading it.
After reading the seven articles without any new meaning, the Emperor almost did not have any hope for the Eighth Prince's essay.
However, after reading the seven articles without any new meaning, this one lit up his eyes.
The Emperor almost finished reading the Eighth Prince's essay in one breath. After reading it, he praised it three times.
