Legitimate Daughter, Arrogant Consort

"I know, don't worry, I won't hurt you." After Tantai Wuyue finished speaking, he jumped down from the second floor of the Fragrant Sky Tower with Situ Yaoyue in tow. Then, they went to the place where they first met. Carrying her, he walked into the lake.

Although it was May, at night, the lake water was still bone-chilling. Situ Yaoru shuddered, but she was much more clear-headed now. Seeing Tantai Wuyue, he knew that his sudden appearance had saved his life. Thus, he said, "Your Highness, there is no need to accompany me here. You can go up." Situ Yaoru said.

"It doesn't matter. We can calm down here." Tantai Wuyue said. Situ Yaoru heard this and was stunned.

"Who is Cang?" Just as Situ Yaoyue was trying to suppress the restlessness in her heart, Tantai Wuyue asked.

"Someone I once liked. I had thought I might be with him some day, but unfortunately he left. He's just a heartless person. " Situ Yaoru gave a bitter smile. Although she hadn't known Cang for long, she did like Cang a lot. She liked the way the man with the unearthly beauty smiled at her every day when she returned to her room. She liked the man's intoxicating red eyes. She liked how gentle and reassuring he was when he spoke.

She even liked that man's paranoid thoughts. However, even this kind of liking couldn't keep the person she liked the most. And the reason was precisely because of the poison within her body.

For the first time, Situ Yaoru hated herself.

As Tantai Wuyue listened to Situ Yaoyue's words,he sunk into deep thought. After a long while, she said: "Is that why you rejected me because you like that man?"

"No matter what, Your Highness can't possibly be with me, right? What I want, His Highness simply cannot give. And I don't dare to love you. That would be too much of a price. " Situ Yaoru looked at Tantai Wuyue and said. Tantai Wuyue pursed his lips when he heard this. With a deep and helpless look in his eyes, he said, "I won't let you down. Why aren't you willing?"

"Your Highness, do you want to marry me or the young miss of the Situ Family?" Situ Yaoru looked at Tantai Wuyue and asked.

"You are the eldest miss of the Situ Family, so this is how I will marry you." You are not the young miss of the Situ Family, so I will take care of you in silence until I can marry you. To me, it doesn't matter who you are. " Tantai Wuyue looked at the woman and spoke softly.

Upon hearing that, a trace of abnormal red appeared on Situ Yaoru's face. "You …" Didn't you dislike the me of the past? I've sent you a long letter. "

"You've sent such a long letter, yet you don't even know who this palace is, so what's the difference between it and not knowing each other at all? What I like about you is the current you. Miss Situ, are you willing to accept my friendship? " Tantai Wuyue looked at Situ Yaoyue and gently asked.

"You … If you say so. " Situ Yaoru was embarrassed. This was the second time she had confessed so directly, but this person was someone who would rule over the entire world in the future.

"You can think about it. I will wait. " After Tantai Wuyue finished speaking, he looked towards Situ Yaoyue, "At least for now, it is impossible for me to marry you. After all, you still haven't passed the women's exam, right? "

F * ck! Why don't you bring it up?

Situ Yaoru felt as if she was the most moved, but there was no trace of emotion left in her at all. Was this person here on purpose to anger her?

Situ Yaoru and Tantai Wuyue had been soaking in the water for a long time. They only heard Tantai Wuyue say in a very light tone, "Lover Flower, did you keep it?"

"No, my family is very angry about this. How could I dare to stay?" Situ Yaoru replied honestly.

"That's right. Madam Situ is already preparing to betroth you to the young master of the Nangong family." Tantai Wuyue smiled. After Situ Yaoru heard this, she awkwardly said, "It's just a temporary measure."

"This is only a stopgap measure of your own. To Martial Aunt Situ and Young Noble Nangong, it may not be a stopgap. " Tantai Wuyue said indifferently. After Situ Yaoru heard this, he was stunned, "But …. "Nangong Ling is my master, he wouldn't have any presumptuous thoughts." Although Situ Yaoru said this, she was actually a bit flustered in her heart.

She still believed in Nangong Ling. After all, he was an iceberg with an iron heart! But her mother couldn't believe it. If something like this happened, she probably just wanted to marry her out immediately so that nothing would really happen between her and the crown prince. He might actually have such an idea.

"Have you calmed down? If you're too calm, then get out from here. It's too cold here, so it's not good for your health. " As Tantai Wuyue spoke, he swam to Situ Yaoru's side and carried his onto the shore.

Situ Yaoru sat beside him. Staring at the reflection of her reflection in the lake, the cicadas chirped all around her, causing her to become much quieter.

"Why would the crown prince appear at Fragrant Sky Tower?" Situ Yaoru asked with an indifferent tone. When Tantai Wuyue heard this, he fell silent. How should he put it? Should he have sent someone to follow her? Or is it … He was just passing by?

In fact, both.

He had sent someone to follow her since their last meeting, but seeing her in the Fragrant Sky Tower was a completely different matter. After finding out that she had entered the Fragrant Sky Tower, he put down all his work and ran over.

It was fortunate that he came. Otherwise, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life.

"I really don't understand what you are thinking. You are the crown prince, you can be anyone you want as the crown prince's consort. Even if you marry me, the Situ Family won't support the Crown Prince. To the people of the Situ Family, I am of no value. As the crown prince, shouldn't you look for someone who is more interested in you? " Situ Yaoyue asked curiously as she looked at Tantai Wuyue.

Tantai Wuyue's expression darkened slightly when he heard that. "As the crown prince, I already have too much of a choice. There are many things I can't do. This was because the people of the world were watching. Therefore, I think, at least in the matter of the princess consort, I can do my best to choose from within my heart. At least, this can be considered the only bit of freedom in a restricted life. "

Tantai Wuyue was the genuine son of heaven. He possessed a status that everyone envied and possessed incomparable talent. However, because of this, he was bound. Everything he did could not be left to his heart. In comparison, Situ Yaoru was the same in some aspects. It didn't matter if it was the body itself or the modern Situ Yaoyao, this was the same.

At this moment, all of Situ Yaoru's prejudices against the crown prince were gone. All that remained was heartache. If one felt heartache for him, one would feel heartache for themselves as well. Because he knew this feeling, he felt even more sad.

"Your Highness, I am very sorry, but I am still unable to agree to be with you. Maybe never in his life. So, please change your highness. "Farewell." After Situ Yaoru finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Tantai Wuyue stood by the lake, watching the woman's back. His thin lips curved up in a faint smile. The way she acted just now reminded him of the first time he'd met her here.

At that time, she had already hated him, right? Think of him as a rogue. And now … He was no longer a hooligan, but he kept his distance. Perhaps, it was really his fault? Shouldn't he choose her?

Tantai Wuyue did not know if he had made a mistake. However, a voice inside was saying, don't let her go.

By the time he returned to the Scholar's Manor, it was already the second half of the night. Situ Yaoru had entered through the back door. He was afraid that he would wake up Madam Situ. But even so, before Situ Yaoru could enter the pavilion, she had already been discovered.

"You came back so late, where did you go?" The man's tone was indifferent, his gaze casual. Standing there, he looked like a piece of beautiful jade. Under the moonlight, he was captivating.
