Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

That one-for-one exchange is quite ingenious of you!

Before Yin Yin could speak, Zhan Zheng's voice came first: "This is indeed inappropriate."

The Sixth Prince turned around and saw Zhan Zheng striding towards him, and behind him, the Tenth Princess, who was looking at the sky and the ground but not at him. He sighed inwardly.

Lord Zhan, as the older brother, is really protective of me!

Although he couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache, the Sixth Prince was also somewhat moved by Zhan Zheng's affection for Yin Yin. Such brotherly and sisterly love was practically nonexistent in the royal family.

Neither Zhan Zheng nor Yin Yin had time to guess what the Sixth Prince was thinking. Zhan Zheng stepped forward, blocking Yin Yin's path, and said with a forced smile, "Would the Sixth Prince like to take a walk with me?"

The Sixth Prince wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhan Zheng's forced smile, he wisely nodded in agreement.

After the two had walked away, the Fourth Princess suddenly burst into laughter, breaking the tranquility of the forest.

She glanced at Yinyin and the Tenth Princess, who hadn't made any moves, and said, "There are a lot of flowers over there, I'll go take a look."

After everyone had left, the Tenth Princess asked, "Yinyin, you're so smart, you must have figured out what my Sixth Brother is thinking. What do you think? If you're willing, I'll help him out a bit. If you don't like it, I won't respond no matter how much he tries to contact me in the future."

The tenth princess's direct approach caught Yin Yin off guard.

She thought for a moment, but didn't completely rule it out: "To be honest, although I'm not the Zhan family's biological daughter, my mother and eldest brother have always treated me very well. When it comes to my marriage, they prefer a family with a simple and harmonious family, or even find a son-in-law who will live with me. That way, they can always protect me."

Looking at Yin Yin's earnest expression, the Tenth Princess suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Madam Zhan and her son truly treated Yin Yin like family. No, even blood relatives sometimes couldn't be this kind.

Just like her, although she was a princess, whether she could marry a suitable person and have a happy family in the future was not up to her.

“So,” Yin Yin paused before continuing, “the difference in status between me and the Sixth Prince is too great, my mother will definitely not agree.”

"Moreover, to put it bluntly, the Sixth Prince will have a principal wife, as well as concubines and maids in the future. As for me, I only hope to have a loving and devoted husband like my mother and father."

"In a relationship like this, the two people are perfectly positioned, and there is no room for even one more person to join."

Yin Yin's longing expression fooled the Tenth Princess.

The Tenth Princess thought about the information she had received and realized that neither Yu Miaoqi and her husband, nor Yin Yin's own biological parents, had ever had concubines or maids among them. No wonder Yin Yin had such expectations.

If Sixth Brother hadn't gotten involved, given how much Madam Zhan and her son cared for Yin Yin, she would likely have gotten what she wanted.

Thinking about it this way, the Tenth Princess found it hard to say the words of advice, and could only ask, "What if my Sixth Brother could do that too?"

“But Tenth Sister, there’s no such assumption,” Yin Yin laughed. “Who can make such an assumption for the Sixth Prince?”

The Tenth Princess was not very satisfied with this answer, but she also knew that even if the Sixth Brother had said these words, people would still have doubts, let alone if she had said them herself.

“You’re right, I shouldn’t have said that,” the Tenth Princess said, pulling Yin Yin along. “Alright, let’s not talk about others, let’s go pick some more flowers. Fourth Sister wants to go hunting this afternoon.”

"My fourth sister and I don't need to return to the capital tonight. We originally planned to stay at my mother's estate for the night. Since Madam Zhan is also at the estate now, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to allow my fourth sister and me to stay overnight."

Since the Tenth Princess had brought it up, Yin Yin certainly wouldn't refuse and immediately agreed, promising to make arrangements as soon as she descended the mountain.

She said it was her arrangement, but Yu Miaoqi was still there, so it wasn't her turn. After having lunch together, Yu Miaoqi tidied up the small courtyard that had been prepared for them to rest in, and added some things.

Before everyone took their afternoon nap, the Tenth Princess spoke with the Sixth Prince for a while. Perhaps it had some effect, because during the afternoon hunt, the Sixth Prince didn't rush to Yin Yin's side whenever he had the chance, as he had done before. Instead, he waited until everyone had had their fill of fun before approaching Yin Yin.

"Yinyin," the Sixth Prince said earnestly, "I've thought about it carefully. If it were you, I would be willing to have only one person by my side from youth to old age. So, can you give me a chance to prove it?"

Yinyin pursed her lips: "I'm sorry, I..."

"Yinyin," the Sixth Prince interrupted her unfinished refusal, "The future that Madam Zhan and Zhan Zheng have arranged for you will surely be smooth and stable. Even if there are some minor frictions, I believe that with your abilities, you will be able to handle them well, and things will eventually return to harmony."

"But is this really the life you want?"

Yin Yin's eyes flickered slightly: "I don't quite understand what the Sixth Prince means. Is there anything wrong with this kind of life?"

“Although I haven’t spent much time with you, Yin Yin, I believe I know quite a bit about you,” the Sixth Prince lowered his eyelids and began to recount, “You have read many books and can understand their meaning, and even have many novel insights.”

"Everyone says you are gentle and mild-mannered, but I can see that there is a fire in your heart."

"Perhaps a peaceful and tranquil life is what many people long for, but I don't believe you're willing to live like this forever."

"The other party may treat you very well because of the Zhan family, Madam Zhan, and Zhan Zheng, but only in the same way they would treat a woman in their household."

"Being a good wife and mother, wearing new clothes and having banquets. These predictable things will only waste your talent and ability."

Yin Yin looked up and met his gaze: "So, what does the Sixth Prince mean?"

The Sixth Prince looked her in the eye honestly: "I know that no matter how I promise, saying that I will only have you in this life, it will be hard for anyone to believe me."

"But if you are willing to marry me, I am willing to share all my rights and status with you."

"You can know everything you want to know, and you can do everything you want to do."

"Even if one day I fail to keep my promise, you can easily restrain me. Of course, I am absolutely a person who keeps my promises and will not let such a situation occur."

The sixth prince nervously added this last sentence, his survival instincts evident, which made Yin Yin, who had been keeping a straight face, unable to help but smile.

The sixth prince suddenly felt relieved and emphasized again, "I can definitely become your good husband."

"Liangren" is one of the terms women use to refer to their husbands in this dynasty, but not all couples use this term.

Yin Yin stopped smiling, looked at the Sixth Prince in front of her, and said almost word by word: "I will only be a wife."
