Chapter 235 Affectionate Confession
After Meng Yuanzhou returned to the Royal Song and Dance Troupe, he learned that his mother had come to cause trouble for Qianhuan today.
He looked at Qianhuan's red and swollen cheeks, and his heart was filled with guilt.
The young marquis apologized and said, "Qianhuan, I heard that my mother came to make things difficult for you today. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Qianhuan, I'm sorry. Are you very angry with me?"
Qianhuan actually hated the eldest princess's behavior of using her power to oppress others, but she also knew that Meng Yuanzhou was good to her.
Qianhuan said calmly, "Your mother is your mother, and you are you. Don't worry, I won't take my anger out on you because of what she did."
Meng Yuanzhou suddenly felt relieved. He thought that after he married Qianhuan, his mother and Qianhuan would be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Meng Yuanzhou didn't want Qianhuan to hate his mother.
"Qianhuan, I know you're not that kind of stingy person. It's my mother's fault for treating you like this today. I will persuade her when I get home. She's just worried about me, so can you please stop being angry with my mother?"
"Young Marquis, your mother wants you to marry a woman of equal status. She doesn't like me and is afraid that I will seduce you. She came to warn me, which I can understand. But she beat me without any reason and threatened me with my brother. I cannot forgive such behavior."
"Qianhuan, I know it's hard to make you not angry, but I never care about your identity. As long as you are willing to marry me, I promise to convince my mother to accept you."
"Young Marquis, I know that I am of humble status and unworthy of a royal relative like you. You should obey the eldest princess's arrangement and marry a woman whose family background is worthy of you."
The young marquis was a little anxious, "Qianhuan, you are still angry with me, right? You don't even call me Brother Yuanzhou anymore."
"I'm not angry. I just think that you and I have different statuses after all. It's better for me to call you Little Marquis."
"Qianhuan, please don't be like this. I really don't mind your identity. I just want to marry you."
"But I don't want to marry you. I just want to live a quiet life with my brother. I can't afford to marry a royal relative like you."
Meng Yuanzhou looked disappointed, and he wanted to say something to express his attitude.
Unfortunately, Qianhuan didn't give him the chance to speak, "Young Marquis, we have almost finished rehearsing today's show. I am a little tired, so I will go home first."
Qianhuan immediately turned around and walked towards the gate. Meng Yuanzhou caught up with her and held her back, "Qianhuan, let me take you home."
Qianhuan's attitude was a little cold. "No need. If the princess's people see this, they will probably come to trouble me again. If the young marquis really wants my own good, please stay away from me."
Meng Yuanzhou still held her hand tightly, "Qianhuan, don't worry. I will tell my mother when I get home and ask her not to bother you again. Just let me take you home."
At this time, a cold voice interrupted, "Cousin Meng, there is no need to trouble you to send Qianhuan back. This prince will send her back."
Qianhuan and Meng Yuanzhou looked up at the same time, and saw the prince in a purple robe appear at the door.
The prince slowly walked towards Qianhuan. He brushed away the young marquis's hand and brought her in front of him.
He looked at her red and swollen cheeks with a look of heartache.
He spoke gently, "My carriage is outside the door, please go up first. I will come to you after I have a few words with cousin Meng."
Qianhuan nodded obediently, "Yes."
Meng Yuanzhou finally realized that the prince treated Qianhuan differently. As soon as Qianhuan walked out of the gate and climbed onto the carriage, he immediately questioned the prince.
"Zi Yu, what exactly do you mean by this today?"
The prince didn't want to hide it anymore, he directly declared his sovereignty, "Cousin Meng, you should give up Qianhuan."
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, the young marquis still found it hard to believe.
"Zi Yu, do you know what you are saying? Are you also planning to take advantage of Qian Huan?"
"Yes, I have already liked her, and she can only marry me in this life."
Meng Yuanzhou was furious. "Why should she marry you in this life? And why do you want me to give up Qianhuan?"
"You can't give her happiness."
"Why do you think I can't give her happiness?"
"Do you think you can beat your aunt? Your mother values bloodline the most. She won't agree to you marrying Qianhuan. And with Qianhuan's personality, she will definitely not be willing to be a concubine."
After hearing what the prince said, Meng Yuanzhou felt a little deflated for a moment.
"Your father died young, and it was your aunt who raised you. You are a filial child and would not bear to make your mother sad. Rather than being caught in an awkward situation, it is better to let go as soon as possible. I will protect Qianhuan."
Meng Yuanzhou was in a very low mood. "Can you give her happiness? Will Uncle An agree to let you marry her?"
The prince said domineeringly, "I have climbed to this position by myself. If my father doesn't agree, I will give up my status as the prince and move out of Prince An's Mansion. Anyway, the general's mansion that His Majesty gave me a few years ago is still empty. Being the God of War General of the Great Yuan Dynasty is no worse than being the prince."
"What if His Majesty and the Empress Dowager do not agree?"
"I don't need their consent. Marrying a wife is my own business. No one can stop me from being with Qianhuan."
Meng Yuanzhou was really defeated this time, but he still didn't give up.
"Zi Yu, I finally met the girl I love. I won't give up Qian Huan so easily. As long as she's still married, we'll compete based on our own abilities."
The prince looked at him and spoke with an attitude of determination, "If you want to fight for it, I won't stop you, but I tell you, I will definitely be the final winner."
After saying this, the prince turned around and left. He didn't want to keep Qianhuan waiting too long.
Meng Yuanzhou stared at his back in a daze. After the prince got into the carriage and left, he told A-Dong, "Prepare the horses and return home."
"Yes."
The prince entered the carriage and took out the ointment from his bosom and handed it over, "Qianhuan, this is the snow muscle ointment that I asked Doctor Bai to prepare. It has an excellent effect in reducing swelling. Please apply some on your cheeks."
Qianhua took the ointment and asked curiously while applying it, "Brother, how did you know that I was beaten today and asked Doctor Bai to prepare medicine for me?"
"I am worried about you, so I placed two secret guards beside you to protect you."
Qianhuan was full of gratitude, "Brother, thank you, you are so thoughtful. I don't know which woman will be lucky enough to marry a man as good as you in the future. I guess by then, I will be spoiled by you."
The prince was a little excited, "Qianhuan, do you think it is a blessing to marry me?"
"Of course, Senior Brother, you are tall and mighty, your face is prettier than a woman's, and you are also a powerful war general. Most importantly, you are so caring. A woman who can marry you must have saved the entire galaxy in her previous life. This is a great blessing."
Although the prince didn't understand what the Milky Way was, he understood one thing, that is, Qianhuan was praising herself as a good candidate for husband.
The prince struck while the iron was hot, "Qianhua, do you want this great blessing?"
"What?" Qianhuan was confused for a moment.
"Do you want to marry me and become the blessed woman?"
The prince looked sincere when he said this, and it was obvious that he was serious.
Qianhuan didn't expect the prince to suddenly say such a thing. Was he confessing his love to her? Why did it feel like a dream?
She asked uncertainly, "Brother, are you kidding me?"
"No, Qianhuan, I'm serious."
To be honest, the Crown Prince's height, weight, appearance, and even voice all meet Qianhuan's standards for a partner. I guess there is no woman who doesn't love a man like the Crown Prince.
But Qianhuan felt that she was just a little peasant girl. She had never dreamed of marrying a royal relative, let alone a prominent figure like the Crown Prince. She had never even thought about it.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved when such an outstanding man confessed his love to me. Happiness came too suddenly and Qianhuan was stunned for a moment.
When the prince saw Qianhuan was silent, he suddenly felt uneasy.
After a while, Qianhuan finally spoke, "Brother, I will never be a concubine in my life."
The prince's fiery eyes revealed sincerity and determination, "I don't plan to make you a concubine, I want to marry you."
"Brother, my parents are both farmers, and I am just a peasant girl. Our statuses are not compatible at all. If I were born noble, I would not be scolded by the princess today. If you want to marry me, I am afraid your mother will also call me a vixen."
"Qianhuan, my mother is no longer with us, and my father rarely intervenes in my affairs. I can make my own decisions about my marriage, so you don't need to worry about anything."
