A glimmer of light flashed quickly in Chu Chengyao's eyes, but there was a sad look on his face:
"What do you mean by this? You want to push me to Lin Jinyan? You are tired of me saying so. Why push me to others like an object."
As he spoke, Chu Chengyao let go of his hands, took two steps back and said coldly:
"If Miss Zhou feels distressed, I will go out now and I will never pester you in the future. This room is decorated for you. You can come and go as you please in the future."
After speaking, Chu Chengyao made a gesture and walked out. As soon as he took two steps, Zhou Yuexue caught up with him and grabbed his sleeve:
"Your Highness, please wait, you have misunderstood me. If Yuexue was really tired of His Highness, how could she take the initiative to come here?"
Chu Chengyao stopped but did not look back:
"Then what do you mean?"
Zhou Yuexue stood in front of Chu Chengyao and said softly:
"Your Highness, do you have to force me to express my feelings to you? Even though Yuexue admires Your Highness, she is still a woman, so how can she be embarrassed to say it out loud?"
Chu Chengyao said with ecstasy: "Is this true?"
Zhou Yuexue glanced at Chu Chengyao with a shy look, then lowered her head and quickly sat down at the table:
"Isn't it shameful for Your Highness to be a servant?"
Chu Chengyao followed closely behind, sat down and asked:
"That being the case, why did you push me to Lin Jinyan?"
Zhou Yuexue looked at Chu Chengyao with a shy face and distressed eyes:
"Your Highness, you have a strong heart, you are wise and optimistic, and you are not inferior to His Highness in everything. However, because you do not have the support of your mother's family, you cannot be loved and have nowhere to display your talents. I feel sorry for Your Highness, so I think that His Highness will suffer. It deserves its place.”
Chu Chengyao looked surprised:
"You...you want me to take the throne?"
Zhou Yuexue said cautiously: "The last time I heard His Highness talk about this matter, my words were full of depression and frustration, and I felt extremely distressed. Your Highness is capable of doing the job. Has it never occurred to you?"
Chu Chengyao sighed and said: "As a prince, who wouldn't want to be in any position? But compared with the emperor's brother and the third brother, I have no chance of winning."
"If His Highness can get help from the Gu family, how come he has no chance of winning?"
"No... no way. I don't want a woman who flatters the prince. What's more, I already have you in my heart, how can I marry someone else and betray you."
Zhou Yuexue said with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness is so stupid. There is no reason to sacrifice the world for an ordinary woman. I really don't know how to repay His Highness's affection for my daughter."
Chu Chengyao was also affectionate: "It's good if you know what I mean. You are not an ordinary woman, you are a treasure covered in dust."
Zhou Yuexue said with a touched face: "It is because Your Highness treats me like a precious treasure that I can't bear to delay His Highness, let alone live in such a depressed way. If His Highness has this intention, I will always stay with you." It's done. When the time comes, if you still don't change your mind about me, I'll be willing to come to the palace to accompany you, even if I'm just a maid, I'll be happy with it."
Chu Chengyao said anxiously: "How could I be willing to let you be a maid! If I can really sit on that position in the future, there will be no other candidate for the queen except you!"
"With my background, how can I be worthy of being a queen? I will be satisfied if I can stay with His Highness."
Chu Chengyao grabbed Zhou Yuexue's hand and said seriously:
"I said you can do it. Mr. Zhou's official position is low, so I asked him to make him a marquis and prime minister, so that no one can say anything against you."
Their eyes met, Zhou Yuexue was moved and leaned on Chu Chengyao's shoulder, talking to each other.
