Qin Junyu sighed, raised his eyes to look at the vast stars, and smiled bitterly, "Fifth brother is still young, second brother is intoxicated by love, fourth brother has no interest in government affairs, and his ambition is to live in the mountains, as for third brother..."

The third prince, Qin Fengtian, was notoriously cowardly and incompetent. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, who took the trouble to arrange things for him, how could he have been given the title of "Prince of Qing"? Not to mention having a seat in the court.

Given his stupid and reckless nature, one word could anger the emperor, and two words could bring him death.

Now the Queen wants Prince Qing to be the Crown Prince and inherit the throne in the future, but is Prince Qing really capable of holding on to that position? I am afraid that by then the eunuchs will interfere in politics, and the relatives of the emperor will be in power, and the foundation of Liuli will be destroyed. The king is incompetent, and the officials are corrupt and take bribes, and in the end it is the people who suffer.

As the eldest son, he has the obligation to shoulder this responsibility.

Nian Susu's mood suddenly became heavy. She understood what he meant and also understood why he had no choice.

She comforted him, "Your Highness has the ability to govern the world, and is indeed the most suitable candidate for the position of Crown Prince."

Qin Junyu glanced sideways, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Everyone in the court thinks that this prince is a useless person, why does Miss Nian have a different opinion?"

Nian Susu was stunned, thinking it was over. Qin Junyu's sharp edge and ambition were revealed in the middle part of the plot. The plot was less than two-tenths. She said that he had the ability to rule the world without any evidence. What was this? Flattery?

Just think of her as flattering him. It's better than letting a prince who has been patient and dormant for many years find out that his plan has been seen through.

She smiled flatteringly, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince. Am I still going to say that Your Highness is unworthy of the position? This is treason!"

Qin Junyu raised his hand and flicked her forehead, then said with a smile: "You are already guilty of treason by asking me whether I want to be the emperor. Are you afraid of committing it again?"

Nian Susu groaned and lay back down, covering his hot forehead.

Qin Junyu imitated her and raised his head to look at her, "Now that you have asked all the questions, it is my turn."

She raised her eyebrows, looking like she was saying, "Come on."

He hesitated for a moment, then stared at her with a pair of aggressive eagle eyes and asked, "Why don't you want to marry Prince Qing?"

He had asked her this question as Xuan Ji, and she had answered it seriously and thoroughly at that time. Now he asked it again as Qin Junyu, wanting to see if she would tell him the truth, or if her answer had changed?

I thought she would not want to answer, but she did not shy away from the question. Instead, she asked openly, "If marrying Sister Qiao Yue as the Crown Princess can help you secure your position as Crown Prince, will you marry her?"

This question is not really appropriate. For men of this era, women are like clothes, which can be replaced at any time. If they don't like a woman, they can just let her live a life of widowhood in the four corners of the world. But for a woman, marrying a man who she doesn't love and who doesn't love her is a very sad thing.

Nian Susu was thinking about how to put it another way to make him understand her mood, but Qin Junyu's answer was "no", so she knew there was no need to say more.

She smiled knowingly, "That's it, His Highness can't do it, let alone a little girl like me?"

She rested her head on her arm and sighed, "If I get married in the future, I have to marry someone I love."

Qin Junyu seemed to be thinking about something. "What kind of man does Miss Nian like?" He added with a little selfishness, "Someone as active as Jingzhe?"

Thinking of the little brat Jingzhe, Nian Susu couldn't help laughing.

This made Qin Junyu unhappy. What did she mean by her smile? Did she like him?

"Jingzhe is really likable." Who doesn't like a loyal and obedient little puppy?

Qin Junyu felt very uncomfortable, as she really liked the Jingzhe type.

"Talkative, noisy, trouble-making" this is his evaluation of him again.

"But..." Before Nian Susu could finish his words, Jingzhe's shout rang out above his head. Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Qin Junyu now felt annoyed whenever he heard the word "young lady". His temples ached slightly. He raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows, closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Jingzhe ran and rolled all the way down the slope to Nian Susu, with a look of surprise on his face, "Miss, so you are here! It was so hard for me to find you."

He glanced at Qin Junyu next to him, and his tone suddenly turned cold, with a hint of disdain, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here too, is he asleep with his eyes closed?"

Nian Susu bumped his arm and told him to stop talking nonsense, and only then did he shut up.

The carriage had been cleaned. Jingzhe came to find her because Tayali had ordered them to prepare to set off in a quarter of an hour. They were now going to meet up with the team.

Qin Junyu stood up, brushed the grass debris off his clothes, and left without saying anything without waiting for Nian Susu to get up.

Jingzhe couldn't help but tickle him behind his back.

Nian Susu was worried and always felt that Qin Junyu seemed unhappy.

The three of them returned to the team one after another.

Nian Susu was surprised to find that not only was there no bad smell in the carriage, but there was also a faint fragrance of Yuelin. She looked around and sure enough, she found a small incense burner in the corner emitting wisps of smoke.

Qin Junyu was reading a book nearby and glanced at her calmly. She was squatting in the corner, studying something and seemed very happy.

Then he saw her holding an incense burner and walking towards the car door, and he quickly looked away.

Jingzhe was waiting on the side of the carriage. When he saw her open the door, he thought it was something important. "What's wrong, Miss?"

Nian Susu handed him the incense burner, smiling, "Did you make this?"

Jingzhe nodded, "Yeah, I brought everything with me before I went out, and I didn't expect it would come in handy." He took the incense burner, patted his chest to ask for credit, "How is it? Am I considerate? Praise me now!"

Nian Susu knew that he was arrogant, so after taking the incense burner back, he didn't say anything and made a face at him, "Lululu!"

"Hey! Miss, I have done a small deed anyway. It's ok if there is no reward, but you can't even get a verbal compliment?" Jingzhe was dissatisfied, "Then give it back to me."

He pretended to pounce on the incense burner.

Nian Susu dodged his hand and laughed at him for being so disappointed.

Qin Junyu saw the two of them laughing and playing, and when he remembered that she said she liked Jingzhe, he felt unhappy.

He threw the book onto the table, and the noise startled the two men. They stopped trying to grab the incense burner and turned around to look at him.

"If you have time, you should spend more time practicing martial arts so that you can protect the young girl instead of wasting time on these insignificant things."

He had a cold face and didn't even look at Jingzhe. It seemed like he was talking to the air, but in fact he was pointing Jingzhe through everything.

Jingzhe didn't bother to argue with Nian Susu anymore, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go in, "What do you mean?"
