I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 329: Time and Opportunity for a Frank Talk

Xiao Jingyu was not surprised at all after hearing Leng Rongyue's shocking words.

After all, he had long known Leng Rongyue's thoughts on marriage and her rejection of the imperial decree granting marriage.

Just based on this point, he had more respect for Leng Rongyue.

Xiao Jingyu knew that with his status and appearance, if he behaved unrestrainedly, a lot of ladies from wealthy families and beautiful girls from ordinary families in the capital would flock to him just by waving their hands!

However, he would not take a woman like that seriously, keep her by his side, or even take her to heart!

But only Leng Rongyue he longed to keep by his side and was willing to keep her in his heart.

Xiao Jingyu looked at Leng Rongyue with a frank look, "Yue'er, do you know?

The late emperor of our Jingyue Kingdom is also my great grandfather.

In his harem, there were three queens, dozens of concubines and beauties.

Let’s not talk about the concubines and beauties;

Do you know why my royal grandfather had three queens?

And why didn't the three queens have a good ending?

My grandfather’s first queen, my father’s mother, and my grandmother.

My grandmother was in love with the late emperor and was my grandfather's empress.

And in order to balance the previous dynasty, my grandfather was forced to take concubines and select beauties to fill his harem.

When there are too many women, disasters will naturally come!

Whether it is for power or for jealousy and favor among women, the open and covert struggles are constant, and it is difficult to guard against open injuries and hidden harms!

My grandmother died when she was less than 30 years old!

The second queen was on the throne for the shortest time, less than a year. She was poisoned when she was eight months pregnant and about to give birth, resulting in two deaths.

And the third queen... haha... had only been on the throne for half a year when it was discovered that she was the mastermind behind the poisoning and murder of the second queen!

My father has experienced countless dangers and hardships since he was a child!

If it weren't for the Duke of Anguo and a group of loyal old ministers protecting him, I'm afraid that my father, the legitimate crown prince, would not have been able to grow up safely, let alone inherit the throne!

Therefore, my father swore that he would never let his wife suffer the same harm as his mother had suffered;

He would never let his children suffer the same hurt and pain he had endured.

Therefore, after my father ascended the throne, he resisted countless admonitions from court officials and unimaginable pressure from the court, and resolutely refused to take a harem, only staying with my mother.

You should know that the backyard of the Duke of Anguo's mansion is clean;

Many of the ministers who protected my father were almost all monogamous.

Their family tradition is upright, their children are filial, and their family is harmonious.

Also because the backyards in their mansions are clean, they can devote themselves to the country and the public. They will not be dragged down by the secrets in the backyard, nor will they be seduced by the beauty of those who have ulterior motives!

Instead, they are more open, aboveboard and fearless!

As for my brother, the Crown Prince, I don’t know what will happen to him in the future. So far, he only has my sister-in-law, and his children are all legitimate.

But I don't want to be entangled by a group of noisy and greedy girls with ulterior motives!

There is a saying that goes, "It is easy to get ten thousand taels of gold, but it is hard to find a soulmate!"

It is enough to be lucky enough to have a soulmate in this life!

I just want to be with a close friend, to be with me for life, and to grow old together.

Yue'er, maybe... you will think that at this moment, I am telling lies to win your heart and it is a lie to coax you.

actually not.

This is my true wish.

You may not believe what I am saying now.

But I hope Yue'er won't completely reject me from the beginning, and directly judge me as a lustful prince who will definitely have a large number of concubines!

Yue'er, can you consider giving me some time and a chance?

Not all men are lustful and unfaithful.

For me, if I can get true love, what else can I ask for! "

Leng Rongyue took Xiao Jingyu's words to heart.

Leng Rongyue has always been principled in doing things and sticks to the bottom line.

However, she will not be bound by certain prejudices.

Just as Xiao Jingyu said, he needs time and opportunity.

In fact, not only Xiao Jingyu needs it, but I also need it.

Even if she was not facing Xiao Jingyu, her future husband, she still needed time and opportunities to observe him.

Moreover, Xiao Jingyu had done so much for her without her knowledge, and Leng Rongyue also remembered this kindness in her heart.

She looked at Xiao Jingyu.

There was desire and expectation, as well as determination and persistence in Xiao Jingyu's eyes when he looked at her.

As she watched, Leng Rongyue couldn't help but laugh.

Leng Rongyue's smile made Xiao Jingyu feel dazed for a moment.

For a moment, he was confused again, "Yue'er, what are you laughing at?"

Leng Rongyue smiled slightly and said, "Nothing.

But I suddenly felt that we were actually discussing the Emperor's imperial decree of marriage and our respective ideas and expectations for future marriages so calmly!

We seem... quite strangers apart from each other's names and identities.

Isn't it a little strange that two relatively strangers are sitting here and talking about this?"

Xiao Jingyu thought about it and smiled, "Yue'er, does this also mean that we are no longer so unfamiliar with each other?

We can open up to each other and understand each other better.

Then we are no longer strangers.

Isn't it? "

Leng Rongyue thought about it and nodded, "Maybe!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage seemed to become a lot more relaxed.

During the rest of the journey, the two no longer discussed the imperial decree granting the marriage, but instead talked about the situation in the capital.

Since Leng Rongyue entered the mountains, she knew very little about the situation in the capital.

But before they could say a few words, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

In a flash, the man on horseback arrived next to the carriage.

"Your Highness, I greet you!" Xiao Jingyu looked outside the carriage and saw that it was his subordinate. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"My Lord, this is the news from Marquis Qinxing's Mansion that came from Tayun."
