Chapter 302 Protect her

Whenever the queen came to see Chu Yan, he didn't know why he was so entangled. It was just a small decision, but it made him fall into endless thinking.

When the topic of selecting a concubine came to mind, Qian Duoduo suddenly appeared in his mind.

Her unique personality and lovely smile seemed to have been deeply imprinted in his heart.

Now, the problem seemed to become more complicated. Although he was not sure what his true feelings were,

But he just wanted Qian Duoduo to be his principal wife.

He grew up in this magnificent, solemn and dignified imperial palace, and he had been familiar with those noble ladies from wealthy families since he was a child.

However, he felt that they were all the same, even the tone of their voices and expressions were like they were cut from the same template, with no difference at all.

Of course, there are also two types.

One is well-educated and the other is arrogant and domineering.

Such women make him feel bored and tired, and always feel that they lack personality and charm and cannot attract his attention.

However, even those real ladies from famous families and daughters of wealthy families might not necessarily set their eyes on him.

After all, for these women of noble birth, what they pursue is not just power and status, but they also hope to marry someone who has the potential to become a future emperor and help their family.

And what about him? He had no strong family background to support him, and on the surface, he could not gain the favor of the emperor. He was simply a prince with no future at all.

So, even though he was a prince, he actually had no appeal and it was difficult for him to gain the favor of those noble ladies.

The daughters of lower-ranking officials, although their own family power is not particularly strong, are also eager to improve their status and influence through marriage.

Therefore, choosing to marry a prince who could not ascend the throne became a strategy.

Although he could not inherit the throne, he still possessed noble bloodline and certain power.

For those low-ranking officials, marrying their daughters into the royal family can help them expand their family's sphere of influence and gain more political and economic benefits by leveraging the prince's status and resources.

In this way, even if the princes could not ascend to the throne, they could still gain a foothold in the court and gradually rise by virtue of their marriage relationship with the royal family.

At the same time, these low-key officials also hope to gain more protection and support for their families in this way to deal with possible political risks in the future.

In addition, marrying a prince also means being able to enter the palace social circle and make friends with more powerful people, thereby increasing one's family's network resources.

In short, for the daughters of low-ranking officials, marrying a prince who could not ascend the throne was not only a personal marriage choice,

It is also a family development strategy, which aims to achieve higher levels of promotion and development by leveraging the prince's status and resources.

In the past, he didn't mind this. He thought that if he could meet a well-educated and well-mannered wife, he would certainly be happy to help her to the best of his ability.

At the same time, he will also assume the responsibilities of a husband, although as a prince he does not need to pay special attention to this.

However, his life experience told him that he might not be able to find his "wife" as easily as other princes. In addition, based on his childhood experiences, he did not want to let a girl down.

All two people need to do is respect each other and live their lives in harmony.

He didn't see anything wrong with an exchange of rights if it could result in a peaceful marriage.

However, human hearts are unpredictable and the world is unpredictable.

Chu Yan's firm heart began to waver, and an inexplicable urge surged in his heart - he wanted to try and experience what the "love" that Bai Ningchuan mentioned was like.

The thought made him extremely excited, but also terrified.

After all, for someone who has never experienced love, this is undoubtedly a huge adventure.

He didn't know whether his current situation allowed him to be willful for once.

But, he still wanted to give it a try.

Because he was away for a longer time this time, he felt the pain of missing his mother for the first time.

So, as soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to go and see Qian Duoduo secretly.

But unfortunately, she lived in the villa for a period of time.

So, he didn't bother her on purpose.

Instead, he called the secret guard and told him everything that had happened to Qian Duoduo during this period in detail.

What concerned him most was that she changed back into women's clothes for her cousin.

What surprised him most was that she was actually Lord Yang’s biological daughter.

What made him happiest was that she actually asked about his situation.

Given what happened between the two of them before, he now has reason to believe that Qian Duoduo still has a place for him in her heart.

There is no interest relationship between them, nor is there any division of power.

I can totally bear the feeling of "love" that Bai Ningchuan mentioned.

Therefore, when the queen repeatedly asked him to meet the daughter of a noble family, he refused.

Although the emperor also knew about this matter, he did not expose Qian Duoduo in advance.

He felt that he couldn't act too hastily. After all, this was a major matter that concerned the future and Qian Duoduo's future.

If we report this matter directly to the emperor without being sure of Qian Duoduo's thoughts, it would backfire and might put everyone in embarrassment and trouble.

Therefore, he decided to first confirm Qian Duoduo's feelings, to see what she thought about their relationship and whether she was willing to develop the relationship further with him.

Only after their relationship was truly established would he consider telling the matter to His Majesty the Emperor in order to get a better solution.

This way, we can ensure that things go smoothly and keep our money.

He was really afraid that Qian Duoduo's ability to make money would be exposed. It was hard to say what the emperor would focus on at that time.

So the most important thing now is to figure out what Qian Duoduo is thinking!

Exposing Qian Duoduo too early would not only put her in danger, but could even lead to her death.

Doing so will not only not bring her any benefits, but will instead bring her endless troubles and distress.

Therefore, everything must be considered carefully.

After Chu Yan had dealt with everything, he returned to the yard next to the Qian Mansion and waited for Qian Duoduo to come back.

So, although the old butler did not tell him about Qian Duoduo, the news was still passed back to him as soon as possible.
