Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"Sister, since you're here, why don't you stay for a meal? I promise the food will be clean and no one will dare to tamper with it."

Chiyue extended a warm invitation and reached out to take Yingyufu's hand.

The crown prince's face was as black as charcoal, and he let out a soft snort.

Chi Yue immediately withdrew his hand with a sheepish grin.

However, they ultimately couldn't refuse Chiyue's request and stayed for dinner.

In fact, the Crown Prince's purpose in coming here has not yet been achieved.

Seeing that Princess Chiyue had left with Princess Anguo and the others, the rest of the group also left one by one.

Several Xilin envoys remained where they were, and since there was no one else around, they hurriedly urged the Xilin general to bring out the medicine bottle.

General Xilin placed the medicine bottle on the table. Several first and second-rank officials from Xilin, like country bumpkins who had never seen the world, gathered around the table, their curious eyes staring at the small medicine bottle.

The thought of how Princess Anguo had given this medicine to the Crown Prince to drink as water filled them with mixed emotions.

On the other side, Chi Yue, Ying Yufu, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince sat around a table.

The table was already laden with delicious food and wine.

After drinking very little wine and eating some food, the Crown Prince said, "west Lin's stay in Bei Xuan is not long, so the marriage alliance can probably not be delayed any longer."

Chi Yue knew this made sense, and he tentatively asked, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince truly not wish to marry Chi Yue as a concubine? Is Chi Yue really not going to compete with Sister Anguo?"

The crown prince's face darkened instantly.

Ying Yufu looked at him suspiciously, "Chiyue, you don't really have a crush on the Crown Prince, do you? You like men?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Yufu became even more convinced of her guess. Suddenly, her vision went black, she saw stars, and her eyes widened in anger.

The third prince asked blankly, "If she doesn't like men, does that mean she should like women?"

Ying Yufu paid no attention to the Third Prince.

The Crown Prince didn't bother with the Third Prince, because he suddenly thought that Chi Yue was so eager to marry him as a concubine, could it be that she had taken a fancy to Fu'er?

He wanted to take advantage of Fu'er's proximity.

A murderous glint flashed in the prince's eyes.

This Chiyue is so handsome. What if Fu'er takes a fancy to him and insists on making him her lover? That would be terrible!

The thought that Fu'er had another male favorite made the Crown Prince feel terrible.

[Little Dian, quickly check if Chiyue really likes men. If he dares to covet the Crown Prince, I will never forgive him!]

Ying Yufu was really anxious.

Xiao Dian panicked too, "[No way, right? Even though some men are attracted to the same sex, it can't be that you're unlucky enough to run into one...]"

The system beeped, scanning the Red Key eight hundred times.

[Phew! Don't worry, host, Chiyue doesn't like men!]

Ying Yufu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince's eyes lit up, and he was secretly delighted.

Fu'er was still worried about him!

Chi Yue's face stiffened. He stared at Ying Yufu in disbelief, coughing repeatedly.

"How could that be? I'm only doing this for the sake of a political marriage. I absolutely don't like men; I like women, really!"

Ying Yufu believed it.

The Crown Prince became even more wary, convinced that the Crown Prince was most likely after Fu'er!

The third prince's hand trembled, and the food he had just picked up with his chopsticks fell to the ground.

He looked at Chiyue in shock. Princess Chiyue actually liked women?

Seeing his shocked expression, Chi Yue's face flushed red instantly.

I'm so angry.

"What's wrong with liking women? It's perfectly normal!" he said through gritted teeth.

Third Prince: "!"

The third prince's eyes widened.

The third prince was utterly shocked.

Princess Chiyue said that it's normal to like women!

"What's normal about this?" He looked at the Crown Prince blankly.

Crown Prince: "..."

"Is it normal for a woman to like another woman?" The Third Prince then looked at Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu: "...Well, it's not exactly abnormal."

The Crown Prince's heart skipped a beat. What did Fu'er mean by those words?

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Chiyue, I will not marry you. In my mansion, there is only the Crown Princess. Apart from Fu'er, I will not want anyone else."

Fake ones won't do either.

Chiyue looked at the Crown Prince with a hurt expression.

He paused, then asked, "Has the Crown Prince suggested a marriage partner for Chi Yue?"

The Crown Prince did not speak upon hearing this, but instead looked at the Third Prince standing to the side.

The third prince's eyes widened. "Crown Prince, what are you trying to do?"

The Crown Prince turned to Chi Yue and said, "My third brother is married to a principal wife and has no concubines. There is only one maidservant in the household at present."

Chi Yue immediately looked at the Third Prince, "Does Your Highness mean that this princess is to be married to Your Highness?"

"Exactly!" the prince nodded.

"Crown Prince, my elder brother!" the Third Prince roared, furious. "Don't go too far!"

The Crown Prince soothed him, saying, "Third Brother, please don't get agitated!"

"Don't get excited? How can I not get excited? Didn't you hear what she just said? She likes women!" The Third Prince's eyes reddened.

The crown prince remained silent.

Chi Yue looked at the Third Prince and smiled charmingly: "If His Highness the Crown Prince says it's okay, then Chi Yue is fine too. It's just that I'll have to become sisters-in-law with Sister An Guo from now on."

Ying Yufu immediately got goosebumps.

This person is shameless!

"I disagree!" The Third Prince slammed his fist on the table in anger.

The emperor had already arranged for the crown prince to have a concubine out of nowhere, but now the crown prince wanted to arrange for him to have a principal wife.

What do they all think of them?

But then Chi Yue said leisurely, "However, I don't want the position of the principal wife. The position of the Third Prince's principal wife should be reserved for the woman he loves. I will just be the Third Prince's concubine."

The third prince turned his head, his face contorted with anger, and said sarcastically, "Well, I really should thank you!"

Chi Yue smiled gently: "Third Prince, please don't be so polite. From now on, we're family."

The Third Prince was absolutely furious.

The Crown Prince said leisurely, "My third brother came to see me early this morning, wasn't it to ask for compensation? I'll give you a concubine right now, you should be happy!"

"Your Highness, do you have any conscience? Then why don't you want it?" The Third Prince trembled with anger.

The Crown Prince looked at him and said earnestly, "Third Prince, don't be in a hurry. Sit down calmly and listen to what I have to say."

The Third Prince's face was gloomy.

The Crown Prince said gently, "Third Brother, think about it, isn't that Concubine Bai quite troublesome?"

The Third Prince thought to himself, "They're more than just troublesome."

The Crown Prince said, "If you had another woman in your household to keep that concubine Bai in check, wouldn't you be able to relax?"

The third prince was taken aback, then seemed to be deep in thought.

"Anyway, Chiyue just wants a marriage alliance. She will return to Xilin sooner or later. She just wants to have a title."

When she leaves, she'll also take Concubine Bai with her. Won't your household be quiet again then?

The Third Prince's eyes lit up slightly.

The Crown Prince smiled meaningfully and said, "So, Third Brother, it would be beneficial for both of you if Princess Chiyue married you as a concubine."

The Third Prince snorted coldly and said, "It's not impossible."

Chi Yue sat to the side, watching with a smile as the Third Prince was fooled.

Xiao Dian laughed heartily: [This is hilarious, host! Do you know that in the previous life, after the Third Prince became emperor, Chi Yue also became emperor? When they met, they were like oil and water, constantly at each other's throats. I never expected that in this life, they would actually get married! Hahaha!]

Ying Yufu: [Hahaha!]

Crown Prince: Haha?
