Chapter 96: What Do You Want?
Sun Jiaojiao never expected the Crown Prince to swear on his own life.
When she thought about how she had put several green hats on him while he was away from the capital, her face flushed with embarrassment. She quickly "Pei"-ed twice and said, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, don't just swear casually... Your Highness is destined to have three palaces and six courtyards. Do you still want to follow the ancestors' rules?"
The Crown Prince would most likely inherit the throne in the future. After inheriting the throne, he was destined to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
But the Crown Prince's expression didn't look like he was joking at all.
His lust subsided, and a trace of coldness returned, just as arrogant as ever. He said, "The rule of the world is the survival of the fittest. Whoever can sit on the Son of Heaven's throne can set the rules for the world. After This Prince rules the world, I will set whatever rules I want. Who decreed that the rear palace must have three palaces and six courtyards? This Prince will abolish this rule."
Of the three thousand waters, take only one scoop to drink.
Sun Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.
Regardless of whether the Crown Prince was sweet-talking her or making a promise, she was somewhat moved, genuinely touched.
In her previous life, many men had pursued her, but she couldn't tell who truly liked her and who just wanted a one-night stand.
No man had ever stood before her and sworn to the heavens that he would only love her in this life, not even fearing being struck by lightning.
Sun Jiaojiao, moved, hugged the Crown Prince's body tightly, nuzzling against his chest. Incomparably obedient and touched, she said, "Jiaojiao understands all of Your Highness's feelings. Jiaojiao asks for nothing else, only for the world to be at peace, with no more wars, so that Jiaojiao and Your Highness can live happily ever after."
She knew very well that she and the Crown Prince were now tied together. Only if the Crown Prince lived well could she live well. If the Crown Prince kicked the bucket on the battlefield one day, her own life wouldn't last long either. Who knows which faction would crush her like an ant.
Flattery will get you everywhere.
Sun Jiaojiao's few words made the Crown Prince's heart bloom with joy, more effective than anything else.
"Where there are people, there will be conflict. A world without war is impossible. Only by conquering the world with absolute power can this world be at peace. Jiaojiao wants peace? Then This Prince will unite this world and give Jiaojiao a peaceful and prosperous age. How about that?"
A ten-li dowry of red makeup, the empire as the bride-price.
In the past, the Crown Prince fought on the battlefield and conquered lands for the glory of the imperial family. Now, he wanted to conquer lands for the woman he loved.
He calculated. At his current speed of marching and fighting, he could probably subjugate all the surrounding tribes and small kingdoms before the wedding. Those few thorny tribes were already left with only remnants of their forces. Those obedient little kingdoms would be even easier to conquer.
Mm, using world peace as the bride-price, sounds good?
Women didn't understand men's thoughts. Sun Jiaojiao preferred jewelry, fine silks, and satins.
She listened distractedly to the Crown Prince's grand speech, becoming drowsy. As she listened, she started to humph and grind her teeth, muttering, "Whatever, whatever. Your Highness, rest early, it's late..."
The Crown Prince held her, kissing her earlobe lightly.
"Sleep..."
