"My son, rather than you always going out of the palace just to meet women is not better if you get married?." Suddenly the Queen surprised me with her question. I was drinking tea, almost spitting out this tea.
Oh my God what kind of question is that?!. This guy really wants me to break his bones so I can't go anywhere. He always puts me in trouble. Aishh. This sucks, I thought.
"Ah.. Isn't that a good idea? You can also choose a few concubines if you want. Hows it?. So you don't have to go out anymore." The king also took it seriously which left me running out of words.
"Dad, my mother is too young to get married. Besides, I still want to correct my behavior before I become a husband. I want to boast of you. I'll think about it." I'm looking for a logical reason so they can understand it.
I'm not the name if I give up. I racked my brain to solve this problem. Married married?. God, I'm not the real Crown Prince. How can I marry a woman if I am also a woman. That's a crazy thing. And it's impossible.
I have my own trauma about marriage. Even though I don't love that person, but the betrayal he's doing still imprints him like an invisible wound.
"Well father and mother will not impose your will. But remember you are the candidate of this royal throne, sooner or later you have to choose your own future wife. I'll bless whoever you choose as long as he's good for you." wise King made up his mind. And the Queen also approved his decision.
They both understand their son. If my real father and mother were like this, I would be so happy. I smiled wryly as I looked at my tea glass. Forget it, it doesn't matter now.
After conversing for quite a while I returned to my residence to finish my work piling up because of this foolish Crown Prince.
As I walked out of the palace hall I heard some maids gossiping.
'Did you hear last night at the Crown Prince's residence there was an intruder.'
'I also heard he said he beat them all with his bare hands.'
'Really?isn't he unable to martial arts huh?.'
'It was true that even the servant from his own residence said so. They were being held hostage by their intruders.'
'Whoa.. Isn't he pretty cool. He's handsome, good at martial arts well even though he's a guy who loves flirting with women. But I'm still amazed at him.'
The sentence after sentence the servants said was shameless in my opinion. Jeez, the news here is spreading fast, huh?.
A woman was gossiping like this. Oh gosh. How many times have I complained like this. I complain almost all the time. I continued my journey accompanied by Hong Li and General Yong as well as some of my personal bodyguards.
"Ep.. Your Highness.."Call uncle Hong Li slowly. But I didn't hear it because I was busy complaining in my mind. How can I not complain, after this I will be faced with many piles of papers that I have to finish.
There was no word and I kept going. Suddenly uncle Hong Li stood in front of me while stretching out both his hands. The unfocused me was surprised by the action of this middle-aged man, just stopping my legs before hitting him. I just raised my eyebrows feeling strange about his behavior. Well now I call Hong Li as uncle, to be more polite towards older people.
"What?" I told him. His eyes pointed in a direction. And I followed his line of sight by turning my head to the left.
I saw a girl standing there with a servant beside her. He smiled politely and gently at me. I who did not know who he was reflexively looked at uncle Hong Li back to ask for an explanation.
"Did His Majesty not know she was the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister. Her name is Lien Hua." she explained with a smile.

"Uncle why are you smiling so much do you like it?." Although I actually felt amused by the question I asked. However I would love to tease Uncle Hong Li.
She pouted after I said that. God, it's so funny this uncle in my heart laughed.
"Greetings Your Highness Crown Prince."I turned my head to the person who was currently greeting me.
She is the daughter of the Prime Minister. He lowered his head when he faced me.
'She seemed to have a gentle nature as well as graceful. And polite to others.' My value is in the heart when I see his behavior.
I just smiled faintly in response to him. I continued my journey without seeing him again. If you ask me why I behave this way, it is because many of the servants in my palace are currently staring at me.
The Lien Hua POV
When I went to the palace to meet Her Highness Princess Xiao Mei I saw Crown Prince Xiao Hui walking over. I approached him to greet him as a form of respect. It's not good for someone like me to ignore it.
I know that many say the Crown Prince is a man who loves to flirt with women. But even so I still have to respect him.
I greeted him politely but he just smiled faintly and left just like leaving me.
"Eh.. What's up with His Highness the Crown Prince?. Why didn't she tease this beautiful Nonaku. But thank goodness." said my servant impolitely.
"Just talk Huanran.. He is the Crown Prince don't talk carelessly about him." I remembered him.
"But isn't that true Miss, she is indeed like that. Many people say that too." he replied again.
I looked at him and said, "Let others say anything, but you can't" I said to him.
"We should immediately go to see Her Highness the Princess, it is not good to make her wait too long." continued me while walking back.
"None Miss. I've understood. I'm sorry." Huanran nodded and walked beside me again.
I just smiled at his head in return.
~At Crown Prince's residence~
Liliana A.k.a Xiao Hui POV
I'm bored right now. After 1 hour struggling with the pile of tasks that I have to do. I've finished everything. And I was confused as to what to do to relieve this boredom.
Uncle Hong Li and General Yong were staring at me with glaring eyes. The two of them couldn't believe that I had finished my work so quickly.
"Your Majesty are you really working on it?. Did your head hit something and now you can do all this. This is a miracle. It's a miracle you could do all this." Uncle Hong Li again rambled furiously as he turned back to check the stack of paper.
And general Yong just kept quiet while looking at me in disbelief. I stared at them lazily.
'I'm bored, I miss my phone I want to listen to a song.' I'm inwardly complaining.
"Uncle.. General Yong I'm bored. Can we do something to get rid of it?" I innocently asked.
And they look at each other. Then look at me simultaneously and smile mysteriously at me.
"Your Majesty.. Tell me what kind of girl you want I'll look for her for you as my gratitude since you've changed." Uncle Hong Li made me rise from my lazy seat.
I looked at him sharply. He who was frightened immediately ran to the back of General Yong.
"Y-Your Majesty.is there something wrong with that butler Hong Li just said?." General Yong asked me nervously. He seems to be scared too.
I walked away from them but before I got any further I stopped and looked at them both.
"Don't follow me. I'm not messing with my words. And don't ask me where I want to go." I spoke very coldly to both of them, that they might obey. And before uncle Hong Li asked with his consecutive train questions, which would only add to my mood getting worse.
Both of them just nodded stiffly in response. Then after making sure they didn't break my words, I walked back quickly.
"Your Majesty just now was very scary." uncle Hong Li while hugging both of his hands.
"And he's different than usual." General Yong muttered while looking at the back of his master who was far away walking.
