Chapter 637: She Will Be the Princess Consort?
“I don’t recall you telling me…”
She never remembered Helian Niancheng mentioning this matter.
“My father and my Uncle Herman are brothers from different mothers.”
“But because of an incident, I got into a conflict with my Uncle Herman. Because I -had refused to apologize to Herman, they banished me to China. Their intention was for me to undergo some training in the Chinese military.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Undergo training?
What a lie!
She couldn’t at all tell that Helian Niancheng was exiled. It appeared more like he was here to be a young master…
Though, Gu Qingjiu didn’t dare to say this out loud.
But if it was merely a conflict, would it be so severe to exile Helian Niancheng?
Gu Qingjiu cautiously asked, “What was the conflict about?”
It must be a very serious conflict.
Helian Niancheng shook his head. “Internal strife. It’s inappropriate for me to tell you for now.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded in enlightenment to express she understood at his direct reply.
Although large clans appeared luxurious and prosperous on the surface, outsiders rarely knew what was going on inside.
It was just like the Yu family and their many scandals. Much less mention such a family that wielded such great power.
“I heard that the Helian family has relations to the royal family. Is your Helian family also considered royalty?”
It was Gu Qingjiu’s first time meeting a royal member in person, so she definitely had many questions.
Royalty sounded powerful and prestigious, like the sort you only got to read about in the newspapers.
Although the news didn’t state the Helian family’s background clearly, the royal Morian family of Penalan was a relatively high-profile family.
That sort went on headlines once every two to three days, and everyone in the world would talk about it with delight.
The Helian family used to be on equal footing as the Morian family. It was just that for the past two consecutive reigns, it was the Morian family that got chosen. The latest was even a queen.
The Helian family seemed to be gradually disappearing from everyone’s sight.
“Yes. Back then, my father was one of the heirs to the throne. But he gave up on it.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
It was the first time Gu Qingjiu knew what it meant to be quietly impressive.
Helian Niancheng was like that.
Back then, my father was one of the heirs to the throne.
In other words, didn’t that make Helian Niancheng a successor to the throne as well?
“Doesn’t that make you a prince or something?”
Gu Qingjiu’s eyes were nearly glowing.
A royalty in real life.
It felt like a megastar suddenly appearing before an ordinary person.
“That’s right.”
Helian Niancheng nodded as he gazed at Gu Qingjiu with his deep eyes. He pinched her chin and shook it. The way she was staring at him made her resemble a curious kitten.
“Why are you interested in such stuff?”
“Of course I’m interested. Ordinary people like to pay attention to such gossip when they have nothing better to do.”
Gu Qingjiu sighed with emotion. “In all my years of existence, this is the first time I’m seeing a prince in real life.”
There were many members of royalty, princes, and princesses in the world. They always felt like a different world from her.
Now that she got to see one, it was inevitable that she felt incredulous.
Helian Niancheng: “…”
He suddenly let out a burst of muffled laughter, unable to hold himself back any longer. It was rare to see him so joyful.
“Oh, you.”
He dotingly pinched Gu Qingjiu’s cheeks once more. “Why don’t you think about what you’ll become when you marry me in the future?”
Gu Qingjiu’s face turned red in an instant.
Princ… Princess Consort?
