Sister, you traveled through time too?

The tables and chairs in the yard were ordinary and plain, but Xiaoyu just sat there like a painting.

She is simple and gentle, with autumn all over the sky behind her.

Dongxu sat opposite her, and for no reason he wanted to keep looking at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu didn't mind his gaze and looked back generously.

Her eyes were so bright and tender that they seemed to make those who saw them indulge in them.

"Master Taifu, since we are friends, how about you call me Xiaoyu and I call you Ah Xu?"

Xiaoyu held the teacup, the steaming water vapor blurred her eyes, and the autumn wind also became ambiguous.

Dong Xu nodded. He and the prince were good friends, and it was normal for them to call each other by familiar names.

Well, normal.

"Your Highness' maiden name is Xiaoyu?" Dong Xu thought.

He didn't ask, but just remembered it silently.

He felt that His Highness' smile was very beautiful, a bit like the gentle water in the south of the Yangtze River in April.

"Ah Xu, but marriage is not a joke. Don't talk about it lightly in the future."

The little fish was still smiling, as if teaching a child.

Dong Xu nodded, but didn't quite understand.

If you like each other, why can't you get married?

Xiaoyu looked at the confusion in Dongxu's eyes and said gently:

"Liking someone doesn't just mean seeking a relationship, it means I think you're great and I appreciate you."

"You can't ask a girl to marry you so easily."

"You have to be sincere and want to spend your life with her. You have to be with her and no one else."

"You have to want to be good to her from the bottom of your heart. You have to be willing to give her respect and tenderness. She needs to be special in your heart."

"She is the one you think about day and night, the one you dream about all the time. You must truly love and respect her."

"We just admire each other. In Ah Xu's heart, I am far from reaching this level."

"So, Ah Xu, remember that no matter if it's me or any other girl, if we haven't reached this point, we can't easily ask for marriage."

Xiaoyu's words were gentle but serious, and she didn't know if Dongxu could understand.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't mind teaching slowly.

After all, she had plenty of time to take her time.

Dongxu listened to Xiaoyu's words and thought to himself.

He thought he remembered it, although he didn't quite understand it.

But he should be right as long as he follows what His Highness says, after all, His Highness is his good friend.

A good friend would not lie to him.

He doesn't understand much about love, but if he really encounters a situation like what His Highness described, he should be able to get married.

He looked at the little fish with burning eyes.

He thought to himself, if from now on, he would be obsessed with Your Highness and think about Your Highness day and night.

Then I will treat Your Highness alone with special kindness, respect Your Highness, and give You care and love.

Then can he marry His Highness?

Dongxu's brain was a little overloaded. He felt that His Highness was different from others.

This was his feeling the first time he met His Highness.

He understood that he admired and liked His Highness.

So he thought that it would be nice if he could be with His Highness, and His Highness also thought he was nice.

But he didn't know what he should do to marry Her Highness. Could he just do as she said?

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't waste his time, so he asked directly: "If I do what you say, can I marry you?"

Cuizhi and Chunke turned their heads at the same time and stared at Dongxu in amazement.

Du Weizi said, is the Grand Tutor determined to enter His Highness's backyard?

Although she knew that His Highness was loved by everyone and flowers bloomed wherever he went.

But I'm not the one who's determined to get into His Highness's backyard after just knowing him for three or four days.

She looked at Dong Xu with great admiration. The Grand Tutor had a handsome face and was a nice person. It would be nice if she could be with Her Highness.

Chun Ke was just shocked. He felt boundless envy in his heart and admired Dong Xu's frankness and straightforwardness.

He just watched silently. He was always with His Highness, yet out of reach.

He envied that kind of frankness; it was something he couldn't do.

When Xiaoyu heard Dong Xu's words, he was stunned for a moment.

She knew Dong Xu wouldn't understand it all at once, but she never expected that Dong Xu would ask this.

She didn't think Dong Xu had any deep feelings for her. Although she liked Dong Xu, Dong Xu didn't understand the true meaning of love.

He didn't understand, but Xiaoyu had to understand.

She couldn't bully him for his lack of understanding of love and easily keep Dong Xu by her side.

She just asked with a gentle look: "A Xu wants to get married, and thinks I'm suitable, so he likes me?"

"Or does Ah Xu want to marry me because he likes me?"

She also asked directly and frankly, they didn't use any metaphors, it was just direct like that.

She likes Dong Xu's frankness, and even though Dong Xu is not talkative or expressive, she has the patience to observe.

Dong Xu thought about it and said without hesitation: "The latter."

Xiaoyu nodded after hearing this.

"Then I understand your feelings, but you need to understand me."

“To notice my flaws and imperfections, to see my shortcomings and embarrassment.”

"Go listen to my love affairs, and see my past and stories."

"To understand who I am in the complex web of power in the Imperial City."

"To understand the pros and cons, to know me and understand me."

"If you know, understand, and know me, and still like me and still want to marry me, then we can talk about it."

"I want to remind you that I am not as good as you think I am. I do not claim to be a good person."

Xiaoyu spoke very clearly and her smile was very bright.

Before coming here, she had never thought that she and Dong Xu would be talking about being together so quickly, like riding a rocket.

Since he said he likes her, Xiaoyu hopes that he can really get to know her.

He doesn't understand emotions, but Xiaoyu doesn't want him to like someone for no reason.

Dong Xu can like her falling hair, like the curve of her lips when she smiles, like her eyes and gentleness.

He can like a lot.

But Xiaoyu wanted Dongxu to listen to her rumors, to touch her thoughts, and to understand what kind of person she was.

To know her likes and dislikes, to understand why she laughs and why she cries.

Go and understand that the imperial city where power is being fought over is full of dangers, and getting close to her will lead to eternal damnation.

To know that her backyard is destined to be chaotic, to distinguish the pros and cons, and to weigh the pros and cons calmly.

If there really comes a day when he knows everything, understands everything, and weighs the pros and cons for a long time, he still wants to love her and like her without hesitation.

Only then will Xiaoyu be with him.

She couldn't bully Dong Xu and leave him in vain.

If he had seen everything, knew all the drawbacks, and still wanted to like her and be with her, then she would be extremely happy.

If you choose to give up after understanding and weighing the pros and cons, that’s fine too.

She has already stated everything frankly today, without hiding any negativity or rumors.

She had long anticipated giving up and moving away, and was extremely happy about it.
