Xin He and the Fourth Prince had been good friends since childhood, and they shared the same interests and ambitions. Today, when she heard that the Fourth Prince's marriage had been affected, she could not help but worry about him.

The little girl frowned and looked at the Queen worriedly: "Queen, what should we do? Will the Fourth Prince be unable to find a wife? Oh, this is terrible!"

The queen couldn't help but laugh again when she saw the worried look on the little girl's face. She tapped Xin He's brow and said, "Silly girl, no matter what, the fourth son is also the emperor's son. We in the royal family don't even look down on those girls who flatter others and look down on them!"

Concubine Shu also smiled: "Yes, Xin girl, don't worry about the fourth brother. You should plan for yourself. When your princes and brothers are married, the queen will choose a good marriage for you."

Xin He's face suddenly turned red when Concubine Shu said that. She threw herself into the Queen's arms and said, "Queen, look, Concubine Shu is bullying me!"

Concubine Shu was even happier: "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth! You should think carefully about what kind of son-in-law you can find! Hahaha!" Concubine Shu was straightforward and made Xinhe laugh. Even the queen couldn't help laughing. Only Xinhe was so angry that she jumped up and down: "No, no! Xiner wants to be a female general! Xiner won't marry!"

"Even my female general has to get married!" The emperor's voice rang out, and the emperor in bright yellow walked in with a group of princes and Yu Shen.

The three of them quickly stood up and saluted the emperor. The emperor reached out his hand to help the queen up, then motioned for Concubine Shu to stand up. He then smiled and looked at Xinhe, whose face was blushing with shame: "Why, after becoming my female general, I can't get married? What kind of logic is this?"

Xinhe felt extremely ashamed. It was so embarrassing to bring up such a topic in front of several princes and Yu Shen.

The prince looked at Xinhe's blushing face and thought of what the queen had said to him. He still felt uncomfortable. Why couldn't a prince or an emperor marry the person he truly loved?

He also knew that what the queen said was right, and he had once thought about whether he could make an exception and only marry one queen in his life.

But the queen firmly told him that that path was too difficult to walk, and not only he but also his future queen would be under a lot of pressure.

Perhaps his relationship with the Queen would not be able to withstand the pressure from the court and they would end up as a couple of enemies. The Queen did not want the Prince and Xin He to face such an ending in the future.

The prince lowered his head and silently digested the sadness in his heart. His mother said that this was what he had to face as the prince and the future emperor.

He is even inferior to his younger brothers. He shoulders the future of Dayin and can only follow the path of an emperor.

The Second Prince looked at Xin He with twinkling eyes, thinking of the plan of becoming king that his mother and the others had mentioned, and secretly plotted in his mind how to achieve his goal.

Only the third prince and the fourth prince were still smiling at Xinhe whose face was flushed. Xinhe, this little girl who was always impetuous, had never been so shy before.

Both princes were cheerful and straightforward. Although they both liked Xinhe a little, after discussing with their mothers, they finally understood that continuing to be good friends with Xinhe was the best way for them to get along.

It was rare for the two men to see Xinhe so embarrassed, and they couldn't help but blink at Xinhe. Both of them had a look of watching the fun on their faces, which made Xinhe so angry that she pouted.

Only Yu Shen was still looking at Xinhe expressionlessly. He knew that Xinhe had an unknown past in her heart. Although Xinhe said that she saw it in a dream, Yu Shen always felt that it really happened.

Moreover, these past events were not pleasant memories for Xinhe, and in these past events, he and that young lady must have treated Xinhe badly.

Although Xinhe always looked cheerful and didn't care about anything, Yu Shen could keenly sense that there was always some subtle gap between Xinhe and him, her childhood sweetheart.

Yu Shen found it very hard to accept this feeling, especially as Xinhe grew older, she no longer stumbled after him like she did when she was a child, calling him "Brother Shen" in a baby voice.

Instead, like all the other young ladies, she began to pay attention to the difference between men and women and deliberately distanced herself from him. What Yu Shen couldn't accept the most was that Xin He could still play and laugh with the Fourth and Third Princes like they did when they were children, but always behaved properly in front of him. The obvious gap made Yu Shen very uncomfortable.

During this period, people inside and outside the court were discussing the important matter of the selection of concubines for the Crown Prince and the various princes. Some people even joked that Prime Minister Qin's daughter had been in and out of the palace since she was a child and was deeply loved by the Emperor and Empress, and that she was brought up according to the standards of a future prince's consort.

No matter which prince it is, Miss Qin will definitely be the future prince's consort, and may even be the crown princess.

For a while, the noble ladies in the capital were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred towards Xinhe.

Although Yu Shen knew that his master had already entered the palace to express the Qin family's attitude to the emperor, and that the Qin family was loyal to the royal family as subjects, they did not want to get involved in their children's marriage. The emperor also agreed and would not choose Xin He to enter the palace.

However, after hearing the Emperor laughing about Xinhe's marriage with his own ears today, Yu Shen suddenly realized that the little girl who used to follow him closely has finally grown up.

Besides, she has reached the age of marriage. Yu Shen looked at Xin He's blushing face, and suddenly a thought came to his mind. He didn't want others to see Xin He so shy.

Seeing Xin He being watched by the Emperor and several princes, the Empress finally couldn't help but come out to defend Xin He. She reached out and pulled Xin He into her arms, and smiled to stop the Emperor from teasing Xin He: "Okay, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, why are you here to watch Xin He's jokes? I don't want Xin He to be wronged."

The emperor stopped laughing, sat beside the queen and looked at Xin He, who was still blushing, and said, "Okay, I won't laugh anymore. However, the queen and I are both worried about your marriage."

He pointed at several princes and said, "When the marriages of your brothers are settled, the Queen and I will carefully choose your son-in-law for you!"

Xin He became even more annoyed, and turned her back to the Emperor: "The Emperor is bullying me, Xin He doesn't want to care about the Emperor anymore."

"Hahaha..." Facing the queen's condemning gaze, the emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter again. It was so much fun to tease this little girl.

The fourth prince could not bear it any longer and stood in front of the emperor: "Father, please don't laugh at Sister Xin'er. I want to protect Sister Xin'er. If you bully Sister Xin'er again...we..."

The emperor has always liked his youngest son who speaks directly, especially because he is sincere and a good and honest child like Xinhe.

When he saw his son standing up to speak for Xin He again, he looked at the Fourth Prince with interest: "Oh, what's wrong with you? I'm the emperor, so I have to tease you two, what can you do?"

The fourth prince was forced into a corner by his father: "The emperor bullies sister Xin'er and me, so I will go to the border with sister Xin'er to find Lord Yu to be a general, so that the father can't tease us."
