It seemed that Rong Qinglei truly had little interest in that position.
But the Emperor did not see things the same way.
By appointing Rong Qinglei as the crown prince, the Emperor had already dragged him into the center of this swirling conflict.
Yue Mingxuan knew very well that this was something Rong Qinglei had never wanted.
Yet there was nothing that could be done about it.
Rong Qinglei's current situation was not something he could control on his own.
The position of crown prince was not something he could simply discard whenever he wished.
If he truly married Yue Mingxuan, it was even possible that the Emperor would ignore the rules of the court entirely and still insist on keeping him as crown prince.
After all, who could truly guess the Emperor's intentions?
Rong Qinglei had no choice but to follow his imperial father's will and taking things one step at a time according to the path that had already been laid out for him.
