The phoenix held a pearl in its beak, and the pearl necklace that reached her earlobes swayed, creating circles of light that set off her unparalleled beauty, making Xiao Huayong unable to help but cast an infatuated look at her.
Shen Xihe didn't notice it. All her attention was attracted by Xiao Huayong's words that he would have to fight with King Jing sooner or later: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Jing is also a person who is unwilling to be inferior to others."
If the Crown Prince and the Prince had to go to war, it could only be because of the throne.
"As a prince, who has learned both civil and military skills, how can he not be ambitious?" Xiao Huayong could actually understand these brothers and sisters very well. If he were a prince instead of the crown prince, he might not be willing to submit.
Shen Xihe could also understand that this was also a kind of ambition. Moreover, if a prince who was both virtuous and talented and extremely intelligent had no interest in the throne, there must be a reason for it. It could only be that there was something more important that he thought was more worthy of his pursuit than the throne.
"Your Majesty, do you prefer His Royal Highness Prince Jing right now?" Shen Xihe turned his head, raised his chin, looked up at Xiao Huayong and asked.
This question really stumped Xiao Huayong. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, he and I have a grudge against each other for killing my father. I don't like many of his behaviors. But if you ask who he has his eyes on as the successor, I really can't figure him out."
Emperor Youning was an extremely strange monarch. He did not care who would be the winner in the end. What mattered to him was his personal achievements during his reign and whether he could become a wise monarch praised by everyone. As long as the country was not destroyed or the throne was not usurped by traitors, he seemed to be able to accept any prince who ascended the throne.
Xiao Huayong even felt that even if it was him, as long as he did not do anything out of line during his reign, he would be able to accept his ascension to the throne. This might be one of the reasons why Emperor Youning could calmly accept him as the crown prince.
Shen Xihe was stunned. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Huayong in disbelief.
Amused by her lovely appearance, Xiao Huayong couldn't help leaning over and quickly touching her lips: "Do you find it unbelievable? I have been trying to figure out your majesty's thoughts over the years. When I came to this conclusion, I also doubted myself."
"Your Majesty is really a strange man." Shen Xihe couldn't help but sigh. If she were to try to figure out such a man, she would probably never be able to figure him out. She looked at Xiao Huayong with sincere admiration, "I am not as good as you in judging people."
"Yoyo has her own way of calculating people's hearts. The reason why I am better than you is just that I have traveled to more places and met more people over the years." I just won because of my experience.
Shen Xihe couldn't help but lower her head and smile. She actually felt that she had many shortcomings, but in Xiao Huayong's eyes, she was truly flawless. Even if it was her shortcomings, he had countless reasons to explain why they were reasonable.
"Don't doubt it. In my eyes, you are the best in the world." Xiao Huayong held her head with both hands and kissed her deeply between her eyebrows devoutly. "I am leaving. In two days, I will be able to accompany you openly."
The substitute leading His Majesty has already left Liangzhou, and it will naturally take another two days to reach the Northwest Palace.
Xiao Huayong was reluctant in his heart, but he left very decisively. If he hesitated for a moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to move his legs and would be reluctant to leave her.
Shen Xihe watched him capsize and leave, and couldn't help but stand up and walk to the window to see how he came and went freely without being discovered by the guards of the Northwest Palace.
