But she also understood very well that Jin Luoluo’s personality was too strong. If the husband and wife could not get along, the prince’s residence would surely be thrown into chaos. At that point, would this marriage still have any meaning?
Even if Che’er did not bring misfortune upon Jin Luoluo, a couple constantly on the verge of falling out was hardly a good thing.
“Che’er, do you really dislike Jin Luoluo that much? Didn’t you once say you liked her so much that you wanted to marry her immediately?”
Xiao Che immediately fell silent. Back then, he truly had disliked her very much. Now, however, his feelings were more complicated—perhaps he still disliked her, yet at the same time, not entirely.
“Looking at how hesitant you are, it seems you don’t actually dislike her that much after all!” The Empress understood her son well. If he truly hated someone, his expression would turn ice-cold.
As long as things had not reached the point where they wanted to kill each other on sight, there was still some hope.
“Mother, stop trying to scheme. The two of them can never like each other. Some people in this world simply can’t reconcile no matter how long they try—that’s a personality issue. They’ve already created so many conflicts before even getting married. Once they do marry, won’t those conflicts only intensify?”
The Empress narrowed her eyes as she examined her younger son.
“Yu’er, why do I feel like you’re trying especially hard to break up Che’er and Jin Luoluo? Don’t tell me you resent Mother for not finding you a princess consort, so now you’re amusing yourself by playing the villain and separating lovers?”
“I’m not that bored. I just can’t bear to see my brother unhappy in the future, so I’m saying what’s truly in his heart. As for a princess consort, there’s no need. I already have someone I love.”
“Who is it? Which family’s young lady? Hurry and tell Mother!” The Empress instantly became interested. Her younger son had finally found someone he liked. She wondered what kind of girl could attract such a proud young man.
Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Che and smiled meaningfully. “Mother, don’t rush. When the time is right, I’ll tell you.”
“Still keeping secrets from me. The older you get, the less obedient you become.” The Empress doted on her younger son dearly, so she was not angry.
“But regarding Che’er and Jin Luoluo, I still need to think it over carefully. In a few days there will be a family banquet in the palace for the imperial relatives. Che’er, bring Jin Luoluo into the palace so I can personally see this famous girl everyone talks about—and also see whether the two of you are truly unsuitable for each other.”
