Chapter 254 Qin Jiaoyue (2)
He would secretly have people investigate which families were struggling financially, and then leave silver in their houses.
He didn't give away much, but there are too many poor people in the world, so no matter how much silver he had, it wouldn't be enough.
Whenever there is a natural disaster or man-made calamity, he is never stingy and will donate everything he has.
Fortunately, he was the crown prince; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford even a decent piece of clothing.
So stupid.
He is the crown prince; he has countless ways to amass wealth and countless ways to help others.
However, he did not seek personal gain; while diligently performing his official duties, he never gave up on giving money as a form of charity.
This is so strange, this person is so strange.
Given his easily tempted nature, Qin Jiaoyue tried sending different types of women to approach him, but he did not do anything outrageous.
She tried to have different people deceive him in various ways to wear down his patience.
He often felt frustrated, but he never lost faith in humanity because of it.
The most foolish thing about him is not that he knows nothing, but that he knows everything yet is still easily fooled.
Once, he finally managed to save up some money and decided to buy Qin Jiaoyue a hairpin.
But after browsing through countless stores and stalls, I still couldn't find a suitable one.
On the road, he encountered a woman who was selling herself to bury her father. After checking, he confirmed that the woman was not a fraud. However, he did not give them the money to buy the hairpin. Instead, he borrowed money from the eldest princess to help them.
In the end, he didn't buy her a hairpin; instead, he bought her a puppy.
The person who sold him the dog was heartless; he gave him a sick dog, and no matter how hard they tried to save it, the dog only lived for three months.
The crown prince cried uncontrollably, feeling as guilty as if he had committed some terrible crime.
The Crown Prince wasn't a very romantic person, nor did he do anything particularly flashy.
However, after meeting Qin Jiaoyue's parents, he could tell at a glance that they didn't have much affection for their daughter.
He didn't say anything at the time, but silently observed her preferences and habits, and became more tolerant of her.
Qin Jiaoyue didn't notice at first, but later, as her emotions became more and more stable, she was surprised to realize that the Crown Prince had subtly filled in all the gaps in her life.
He taught her how to fly kites, how to make her favorite pastries, and took her to the deserted mountains to steal chestnuts hidden by squirrels.
He always sensed what she wanted and longed for, and fulfilled her desires.
As a child, she loved ice. Her parents didn't pay much attention to her, and she went to play on the lake alone. The ice was too thin, and she fell into the water and almost died.
After her high fever subsided, she woke up to find herself greeted by two merciless slaps from her father.
They said she wasn't dignified enough, that she was wild and willful, but they never asked her if she was in pain.
Later, she began to hate winter, and she also began to hate the cold lake water.
Whenever it snows, she becomes extremely irritable.
Especially that day, her clueless parents kept bothering her, saying, both openly and subtly, that her father had been in his current position for too long and it was time for him to climb up.
Qin Jiaoyue coldly mocked, "Mother is naive. If a fool climbs too high, it's a disaster. A fool is a fool. Don't covet what doesn't belong to him, or he'll only become a laughingstock!"
She had grown accustomed to wearing a gentle mask, and her parents had forgotten the strained relationship between them.
Enraged by her insults, the two launched into a full-blown verbal battle.
They are clearly educated people, yet they always use so many malicious and insulting words.
Unfortunately, the crown prince, who had come to find her that day, witnessed everything.
Qin Jiaoyue thought to herself: It's over.
How could someone as kind as him tolerate her rebellious and mean-spirited behavior?
But the Crown Prince simply took her out as usual and played with her as usual.
She was sullen, and the prince couldn't think of a way to cheer her up. In the end, he took her hand and, dressed in a ridiculous, bright red and green dress, danced on the ice for her.
He led her step by step onto the ice and told her, "Jiaoyue, you don't need to overcome your fear, because I will hold your hand. You like snow and you like ice, and I'm behind you. You can embrace whatever you love."
As for those gloomy clouds, he wouldn't let them get any closer to her.
She later learned that he had caught a cold and had fallen ill after returning home because he was dressed too lightly that day.
She found it strange that her parents never bothered her again. After investigating, she learned that the Crown Prince had been causing them a lot of trouble in private.
I heard that he almost killed them, but he was afraid that she would be associated with rumors of bringing misfortune to her parents, so he restrained himself from the impulse.
He was such a kind and gentle person, yet he was willing to do evil for her sake.
Nothing in this world is more touching than this.
It was the Crown Prince who made her fall in love with winter again.
Qin Jiaoyue's impression of the Crown Prince has changed.
He is not only stupid, but also cunning.
He saw through her restless and turbulent inner world, yet he indulged all her unreasonable demands.
At first, all she wanted was for him to become her obedient puppy.
But gradually, she also began to be unable to live without him.
On their wedding night, the room was filled with the fragrance of red candles and soft curtains.
He whispered in her ear, "Now that we are married, you will be my wife for life."
Qin Jiaoyue's eyes were misty, and her tone was stubborn: "Then you can't let go of my hand."
No, never.
She has family now.
A promise to never leave her loved ones.
Her family members belonged to her completely and were one with her.
He was powerful, tolerant, and devoted, even worshipping her like a goddess. Despite seeing her dark nature, he was not scared away.
He was her most perfect and compatible half-body, the nourishment her soul depended on for survival, and her dearest and most beloved family member.
She has a family.
The Crown Prince's father and mother became her father and mother.
Their father, though strict, taught them how to conduct themselves in society.
Although she was in poor health, her mother would worry that they were not eating or sleeping well. Knowing that she was coming, she would prepare a bowl of hot soup that she liked. When she saw a beautiful piece of fabric, she would think that it would suit her very well.
She also had a generous younger brother and a kind and cheerful younger sister.
Unlike her arrogant brothers and sisters who only wanted to leech off her, they cared about her and respected her.
She will have a child, a flesh and blood connection with her.
All of this seemed so simple, yet it was a happiness she never dared to dream of.
She is becoming more and more normal, but all of this depends on her home and her family being alright.
And it would be best if her little dog could stay by her side.
What do he care about the position of crown prince or emperor? He doesn't need that. He just needs to be her obedient husband.
He was quite happy about it, and what's even more amazing is that his uncle and the emperor tacitly approved of it.
There couldn't be anything better than this.
He doesn't need to worry about others taking his attention away; politics, court affairs, and romantic affairs—as long as he's not emperor, none of these will concern him.
He will always belong to her and always be with her.
If she could, she would prefer him to stay by her side instead of going out.
However, he would definitely be unhappy if she did that, and how could she bear to see him upset?
