Zang Xu asked this impulsively. Although the question had always been in the Prince's mind- especially after turning fifteen, he would think about it every day- he had never dared to ask it before.

Xia Chun was indifferent, even a little unkind. He always followed the rules and regulations in the barracks. He doesn't hesitate to impose his standards on others at all, he ran the army with extreme strictness. As long as one violates the military law, no matter how good a soldier he was or how much he has contributed to the cause, they would be punished as fit. But if one has done meritorious service, the reward would also be as such. He also didn't like to deal with civil servants. After he was successful, before everyone knew he had a marriage contract, uncountable people went to get favor overtly and secretly, giving him money, gifts, and even properties, all of which were directly returned by him.

He didn't even spare them a smile.

His Royal Highness viewed his Princess as such, there was only joy in his heart, he thought that his brother was really clean and self-conscious, but when he got older, he became confused and wondered if Xia Chun was truly willing to marry him.

Zang Xu knew that the person Xia Chun valued most in his life was his mother Xia Xi. He was still Xia Xi's nominal adopted son and even followed his surname. He had no words for others but was different towards Xia Xi. He would laugh and sometimes even "act like a baby".

Although his behavior was different from the normal "acting like a baby", it was already rare enough for Xia Chun, who had a cold personality.

That's why the prince thought with anxiety; When Xia Chun agreed to marry him, was it because he really liked him, or was it because he was his mother's son?

The hand suspended midair paused for a moment, and then slowly dropped. Xia Chun turned his head and looked at Zang Xu with a calm face. Zang Xu became nervous, even a little afraid to hear his answer.

What should he do if he answers "no"? Could he let him go?

Thinking of this, Zang Xu became even more nervous, he couldn't help but take a step back and show a dry smile, "It's too late. Brother, you should go to sleep, I- I should go back." He hurriedly ran away before Xia Chun could respond.

He returned to the carriage and urged the little guard to go quickly as if there was a ghost chasing after him.

But when he went back, he regretted it again.

Why does he dare not ask for a clear answer? Maybe brother's answer was "yes"? In that case, wouldn't have he miss out a lot?

Zang Xu returned to the palace, his heart in a mess, it was obviously late but he couldn't sleep. Whenever he couldn't sleep he talked with his mother, especially when it was about Xia Chun. His mother knew his brother the best, he would definitely be able to analyze his psychology and give him the answer he wanted.

Even if it was just an answer out of comfort, it could still give him peace of mind

His Royal Highness walked towards the harem, the Royal Palace in this capital was also several times larger than their original one. Before the Barbarian army attacked the city, the royal family of the Xia Dynasty had already begun to flee south and attempted to set fire to the Palace before leaving.

The palaces were burnt, but only a few harem courtyards had been charred. The fire had been extinguished by heavy rain that day, so the entire Palace has almost been preserved pristine and only a few burned places were rebuilt.

It's just that the former harem was a flourishing garden, there were countless beauties and noble concubine masters, it had been very lively then. Unlike now, where there was only one master in the harem, so it seemed a bit deserted.
