Chapter 224 Even if you die...will you still throw yourself into the fire?
Emperor Yuan was stunned. He had completely ignored him just now. Now that Jiang Yueyang reminded him, he felt very complicated.
The system smiled cunningly, [Host, please don't be so rigid about gender.]
[What you mean is... the Fifth Princess likes women? ]
Hearing that the fifth princess might like women, all the men present breathed a sigh of relief.
After Emperor Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that the fact that the fifth princess liked women was much easier for him to accept than violating ethical principles.
Has he lost all his bottom line?
[No, she doesn’t like women.]
Jiang Yueyang was slightly displeased, […Are you teasing me?]
The prince was lost in thought. If Fifth Sister's love wasn't for us, nor for women, then who was she deeply in love with?
The prince slowly looked towards the fifth princess and his eyes fell on a person's face.
At this moment, the system said: [Host, do you think the eunuch next to the fifth princess is good-looking? ]
As soon as these words were spoken, some people present reacted quickly.
Emperor Yuan and the Empress looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a result they had never expected.
How could Nan Xi...
Jiang Yueyang followed the system's instructions and secretly glanced at the little eunuch behind the Fifth Princess. [He looks pretty good, and from the looks of it, he's a puppy.]
The fifth princess tried her best to remain calm, and her hands, which were holding the handkerchief, were shaking from holding it too tightly.
She couldn't let Lord Xiao Jiang see any clues, otherwise Kang An would really have no way to survive.
The Third Prince was afraid that Jiang Yueyang would notice that the Fifth Princess had an unpleasant expression, so he blocked her view intentionally or unintentionally.
"Jiang Yueyang, what are you looking at? Pay attention, or you might cut off your fingers."
Jiang Yueyang retracted her gaze to the coconut in her hand and asked in a surprisingly calm tone: [The Fifth Princess fell in love with that little eunuch?]
In her previous life, she had watched a legendary costume TV series that mainly expressed criticism of feudal ethics and the fate that women could not control themselves.
In the play, what attracted her most was not the emotional entanglement of the male protagonist, but the tragic love between his daughter and the eunuch.
The princess fell in love with the eunuch, which was not tolerated by the world and was condemned.
Under the influence of feudal ethics, the princess who dared to love and hate became the most tragic victim.
Because the ending of the drama was not the happy ending she wanted, she went out of her way to read the novel.
The novel and the TV series each have their own beautiful side, but also their own regrets.
In the TV series, the princess has been fighting and never succumbs to the ethics until her death.
But in the end, she was unable to be with the person she loved.
In the novel, the princess and the eunuch clearly confessed their feelings to each other, and they had a brief moment of love.
But in the end, the princess still consummated her marriage with the man she didn't love.
She couldn't say whether she liked the novel or the TV series better.
Maybe it’s a novel because there’s a kiss in it.
Maybe it's a TV show, because the princess's love is passionate and crazy, the eunuch is worthy of it.
When watching the drama, she wanted to ask, what did the princess do wrong? What did the eunuch do wrong?
She just wants the person she loves to stay with her for a long time.
He just wanted to be with her all the time.
The system clearly sensed Jiang Yueyang's emotional changes, and after a moment of silence, it uttered a word.
【Yes. 】
This word shocked everyone present, and Emperor Yuan was in a daze for a moment, unable to accept it.
The young eunuch lowered his head, but his eyes were always looking at the fifth princess in front of him.
He had long since realized the Fifth Princess's affection for him, and he should have stayed away from her.
But... he couldn't control his heart. He wanted to stay with her, always.
Is it just this... a luxury?
The system continued: [Eunuch Kang An was originally a child from a wealthy family, but his family fell into poverty and he was deceived, so he entered the palace in a daze.
Otherwise, he would have been one of the candidates in the imperial examination a few days ago. Perhaps... his fate and that of the Fifth Princess would have been different.
Jiang Yueyang twitched a wry smile. [Coincidence? Their backgrounds are surprisingly similar. I wonder if their fates are also the same.]
As she spoke, she looked at the Fifth Princess's eunuch, "Little melon, what's the difference between a eunuch and an inhumane man?"
The system was speechless for a moment.
"In my opinion, they are essentially the same. So why can the world accept inhumane men marrying and having children, but cannot accept eunuchs having their own lovers?"
Emperor Yuan was stunned.
When he learned that the fifth princess fell in love with a eunuch, that eunuch was already a dead man in his eyes.
But Jiang Yueyang's question made him confused again...
Before the system could answer, Jiang Yueyang spoke again: [Is it because of their low status that they don't deserve love?]
At this time, the system replied with a melancholy tone: [This world is full of prejudice. Even in modern times, similar things are not tolerated by the world.]
[Hmm... No one is wrong, it's the world that's wrong.]
After saying this, Jiang Yueyang didn't speak again, but just silently opened one coconut after another.
The system knew that she longed for a happy ending, so it did not disturb her at this time.
Afterwards, Emperor Yuan found an opportunity that would not arouse suspicion and let Jiang Yueyang leave the palace.
As soon as Jiang Yueyang left Ning'an Palace, the Fifth Princess and eunuch Kang An knelt before the Emperor and Empress.
"Father, Queen Mother, Kang An knew nothing. This is all my fault! Please punish me alone!"
Emperor Yuan stood up and walked in front of her, pacing back and forth. "Why? Tell me why! What's so good about him?"
The Fifth Princess raised her head, her eyes firm, "He understands me. He knows what I want and what I don't want.
He can feel my joy and sorrow, my cold and warmth; our souls are in tune with each other."
Emperor Yuan squatted down and gently stroked her head, "Nan Xi, you are still young and don't understand what love is.
Listen to what Father said, this is just a momentary infatuation, not love."
"Father, I know my heart very well, and I also know that there is absolutely no possibility for him and me, so I will not ask for anything.
I will marry according to my father's wishes, shoulder the responsibilities of a Princess of Daxia, and will not do anything that would bring shame upon the royal family.
I only pray that Father can fulfill this only request of mine and allow him to stay by my side."
Emperor Yuan stood up with a sullen face. "Do you know what you will face if this becomes known?"
"I know. If that time ever comes, I am willing to bear all the consequences."
"Even if it means death, are you still willing to throw yourself into the flame?"
"Yes."
Emperor Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Kang An beside him, "What about you?"
Realizing that the question was being asked, Kang An immediately kowtowed and said, "Wherever the princess is, I will be there. Even in death... I will follow you."
