"I discovered that you are actually very beautiful." Prince Qing said drunkenly.

Bai Jiyue smiled. Of course she knew.

She didn't even use the bottle of medicine to remove facial spots. If she had used it, she would probably charm a lot of people. But this was not what she wanted. She wanted to use her own abilities to gain the power to match.

Prince Qing raised his glass to her and said, "I wonder what Miss Bai thinks about her lifelong affairs? I admire Miss Bai very much. Perhaps you could consider it?"

Bai Jiyue laughed: "Your Highness, you are drunk!"

Prince Qing shook his hand and said, "No, I am not drunk. I am very sober. Miss Bai is a very talented person with great ambitions. I admire you very much!"

"Just appreciate my daughter and let her serve His Highness wholeheartedly. There is no need to involve her in marriage."

"But I think that if our relationship is closer, the effect may be better! I have never intended to marry a hollow woman with only good looks as my princess. Miss Bai meets my standards for choosing a princess both in appearance and in character."

"My daughter is of humble origin. Even if the prince agrees, the empress dowager may not agree." Bai Jiyue found a good shield.

But Prince Qing said, "The Queen Mother has already told me that my marriage is up to my own wishes."

Bai Jiyue took a deep breath and stood up: "Your Highness Prince Qing, it's getting late. I can't handle the alcohol, so I'll take my leave."

After saying this, without waiting for Prince Qing to say anything else, she turned and walked out, calling the maid who was waiting outside as she walked.

The maids came running in, and Bai Jiyue said to them, "The prince is drunk, please serve him well."

Hearing Prince Qing calling her "Hey hey hey" from behind, she quickened her pace and walked out the door without even turning her head.

She returned to her room, locked the door, washed up, and lay down to sleep.

Her heart was as calm as water. Prince Qing's "proposal" did not disturb her heart at all, because she knew very well what she wanted.

Love and marriage are definitely not what she wants in this strange world, at least not now!

She slept peacefully, and Prince Qing also slept soundly. He had no idea that he almost died tonight.

While he was sleeping soundly, someone sneaked in quietly, stared at him sleeping with gritted teeth, clenched and unclenched his fists, but in the end did nothing and turned and left.

Prince Qing had no idea that his life and death depended on this man's thought. He also had no idea that if Bai Jiyue showed even the slightest hesitation towards his proposal tonight, he would not live to see sunrise tomorrow.

Mingyuan couldn't sleep that night, he was so upset.

His girl is so popular that even Prince Qing wants to marry her.

If the girl had not shown any interest in Prince Qing and only wanted to help Prince Qing to grow, he would definitely have killed her!

That villain Prince Qing doesn't even realize how old he is, and he actually covets his woman!

The Demon Lord was thinking angrily without realizing that in terms of age difference, the gap between him and Bai Jiyue was much greater than the gap between Prince Qing and Bai Jiyue!

The next morning, Bai Jiyue woke up and went to say goodbye to Prince Qing.

Prince Qing looked slightly embarrassed: "Last night——"

"Your Highness got drunk last night, and then I asked the maid to take care of you and let you rest. Nothing happened." Bai Jiyue interrupted him.

Prince Qing felt like a sentence was stuck in his throat and he almost couldn't breathe.

This woman wouldn't let him say a single word!

"Your Highness, I'm here to say goodbye. I have to hurry back to the Dark Stone Wasteland." Bai Jiyue continued.

Prince Qing nodded, feeling a little upset.

But Bai Jiyue said, "There is something I almost forgot to tell Your Highness. Princess Qingyue is not dead."

Prince Qing was visibly excited: "Why..."

"It's probably fate between me and Princess Qingyue. After being hunted down, Princess Qingyue ended up in the Dark Stone Wasteland. By chance, I saved her. Now, she lives in my home with my mother and sister."

Although she was a little reluctant to part with Qingyue, Prince Qing was her biological father after all, so she should give him back.

She looked at Prince Qing and said, "When I return, I will personally send Princess Qingyue to His Royal Highness Prince Qing."

Prince Qing shook his head: "I haven't married yet. Even if I send Qingyue here, there will be no one to take good care of her. I am also busy with the uprising and I don't have time to take care of her.

"Besides, it is safer for her to be 'dead' than alive now. If I succeed, she will still be a princess, but if I fail, she can at least live on as an ordinary person."

He looked at Bai Jiyue and said, "So I want to trouble you. Can you let Qingyue continue to live in your house and trouble your mother and sister to take care of her? I will pay for Qingyue's living expenses. Just ask for the amount you want."

Bai Jiyue waved her hand: "Qingyue is still young, how can she afford living expenses? That's not necessary."

"Thank you very much." Prince Qing bowed solemnly to Bai Jiyue.

Bai Jiyue dodged to the side and said, "Of course, and we all like Qingyue very much and are willing to let her live with us."

Prince Qing smiled, thinking that the woman in front of him was perfect in every way.

Seeing her turn and walk out, he felt that it would be better to say the words that were stuck in his throat.

"Bai Jiyue!" he shouted at her back.

Bai Jiyue stopped and looked back at him.

He raised his voice and asked, "Will you really not consider marrying this king?"

Bai Jiyue shook her head: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can be your partner and your subordinate, but I won't consider being your princess."

"Are you concerned about the matter between me and Concubine De?"

Bai Jiyue raised her eyebrows. She really hadn’t thought about this matter.

Just as he was about to say "no", he heard Prince Qing hurriedly explain: "Concubine De and I have known each other since childhood, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. I have a good impression of her, and she may feel the same way as I do. But later, she was chosen by the emperor to be a concubine, and I gave up this idea.

"Five years ago, the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday and I returned to Beijing to celebrate. I stayed in the palace that night. Because I drank too much, I mistakenly entered the Imperial Garden. Unexpectedly, Concubine De was awake in the middle of the night and was lost in thought by the river in the Imperial Garden. I was curious and went to talk to her. It turned out that Concubine De had not lived well in the past few years since she entered the palace, and the Emperor rarely favored her.

"She became more and more sad as she spoke, so I tried to comfort her. On that night, that gentle beauty cried in my arms, and with the alcohol in her, we...

"After a few days, I returned to my fiefdom, not knowing that she was pregnant that night. It was not until I returned to Beijing this time that the Queen told me that Qingyue was my daughter. The Queen said that after Concubine De found out that she was pregnant, she deliberately used medicine to make the Emperor stay at her place for one night.

"She bribed the imperial physician to make her child appear to be one month younger, making it appear that she was conceived the night the emperor stayed. When the emperor learned about this, he was very happy. But in fact, the emperor knew that this was not his child, because although he could occasionally have sexual intercourse, he was infertile. The emperor pretended to be happy on the surface, but secretly planned to kill Concubine De and the child."
