Transmigrated into the daughter of the prime minister, and thrived in space

The Queen glanced at Li Lingyan and said nonchalantly, "Well, the Emperor wants to arrange her marriage to Si Wenming as soon as possible, so he asked me to investigate."

"Then what did she say?" Li Lingyan's hands that were wiping his body suddenly stopped, and after a moment he continued to wipe slowly. He exerted a little force with the hand holding the towel, pretended to be calm, and asked tentatively.

The Queen looked at him meaningfully, "She said there's no rush. From what she said, it seems like she doesn't really want to get married!"

Li Lingyan said "Oh" softly, and his hands that were tightly holding the towel loosened slightly, and his clenched heart relaxed a little.

The queen frowned, and after a long while she slowly said, "You are a prince, your career is more important, and in the future... your country is more important. Romance is not suitable for you, and don't have any false thoughts about your brother's wife! It is... impossible for you! Besides... she probably has no romantic feelings for you."

"Mother, I have never told you that I was being chased all the way back to the capital from my sealed territory. I nearly lost my life at Sangtai Mountain, and it was Yu Xiaoqiao who rescued me..." Li Lingyan's eyes were dim, and he said softly after a while.

The Queen was surprised and grabbed Li Lingyan's arm, asking anxiously, "Why didn't you mention it before? Is it the Prince's man, or..."

"The Queen Mother was still ill at that time. Things have changed since then. If I tell you this, I'm afraid it will only cause you anxiety." Li Lingyan said with his eyes lowered.

The Queen slightly tightened her grip on Li Lingyan's arm and narrowed her eyes. "Being a prince is both glorious and shackled, and it is also a thorny road of life and death!"

The queen paused for a moment before she looked at him intently and continued, "There are tigers and wolves all around us! Don't be careless, and don't let your sentimentality ruin important matters!"

Li Lingyan's body softened and he almost fell down. He looked at the queen quietly without saying a word for a long time.

His fists were clenched tightly, his nails digging into the flesh, leaving blood stains.

Yu Xiaoqiao walked dejectedly, and saw the princess from afar. She was about to avoid her, but was stopped by the maid: "Princess Anping, the princess wants to see you!"

The cold wind blew, and snowflakes slid across my cheeks, making me shiver.

Yu Xiaoqiao calmed down, put on a polite smile, and walked over.

"Hello, Princess." Yu Xiaoqiao bowed.

The eldest princess's lips curled up coldly, her eyes narrowed into a line, without any ripples. She just glanced at Yu Xiaoqiao lightly and indifferently.

Yu Xiaoqiao stood with her head down. Although she didn't look up, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression!

A kind of condescending and domineering feeling pierced through the snowflakes, bringing with it a chill, and struck Yu Xiaoqiao's heart directly.

Yu Xiaoqiao felt very uncomfortable. She raised her head slowly and stubbornly and looked at the eldest princess.

The princess smiled lightly, looking arrogant. "She is quite pretty, but you look pale. Go back and get some rest! You are so young and beautiful, but you look like a flower withered by frost. This is not good!"

What does it mean to be weird?!

Yu Xiaoqiao clenched her hands slightly and forced a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'll take my leave now."

It was already evening when Yu Xiaoqiao returned to Shangqingzhai.

Getting married is like a huge rock pressing on my heart.

I asked the maid to bring back dinner and took a hot bath after dinner.

During this period of time, I didn't think about this matter and lived my life happily and casually.

Today, the Queen suddenly brought it up, and her heart was like a huge rock falling from a calm lake, causing a thousand waves!

For several days, Si Wenming didn't speak to her. Although he still delivered bird's nests as usual, he never showed up.

One day and one night.

Yu Xiaoqiao was on the second floor, sitting by the window, looking at the snowflakes dancing like butterflies. Her gaze gradually focused and she found a person in the snow.

Si Wen Ming!

The dim light, the falling snow, and the shivering standing there.

Their eyes met.

Snowflakes like curtains and cotton fluttered down the courtyard. She was at the upstairs window and he was at the downstairs steps.

A tear rolled down her eye without any warning.

His eyelashes formed cold raindrops, gently dripping down his cheeks, the corners of his lips moved slightly, evoking a trace of thoughts.

"Ming'er, the emperor wants to arrange your marriage as soon as possible. What do you think?" The candlelight flickered, with a faint blue light flashing above the warm orange, reflecting the queen's concerned eyes.

Si Wenming asked leisurely, "Have you asked Xiao Qiao what she thinks?"

"It seems that she doesn't want to do it very much. She just said there is no rush and that she wants to discuss it with you." The Queen's expression was misty and puzzled. She looked up at Si Wenming.

I saw his cool jaw trembling slightly, and after a while he said a few words indifferently: "No rush, wait a few years."

The two of them seemed to be branded and did not move for a long time. One of them never went downstairs, and the other never went upstairs.

Yu Xiaoqiao was absent-minded for a moment, and when she looked downstairs again, she saw only white snow and flying catkins all over the ground.

The next day, Si Wenming took sick leave and did not attend class.

Yu Xiaoqiao visited him in the evening, and seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, she lay down beside the couch and waited.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Wenming slowly opened his eyes and saw Yu Xiaoqiao lying on the edge of the couch. He couldn't help but reach out to touch her head, but his hand suddenly trembled and stopped in mid-air.

Yu Xiaoqiao seemed to sense something, moved slightly, reached out to touch his forehead, and said softly: "Fortunately, the fever has subsided, do you feel better?"

"I'm fine, go and have a rest!" Si Wenming smiled lightly and his voice came slowly.

Yu Xiaoqiao stared at him intently, "The Queen said she wanted to get our wedding done as soon as possible... I... am not ready yet... Can the wedding be postponed?"

"Okay." Si Wenming stood up and leaned on the couch, staring at her. His obsidian eyes were full of soft light, as if he was looking at a water lily that he had guarded for a thousand years, and he said softly.

Yu Xiaoqiao was slightly startled, with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Aren't you going to ask me?"

"It doesn't matter. You have your secrets and your difficulties." Si Wenming gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. His gentle voice caressed Yu Xiaoqiao's heart, like a warm spring breeze or a quiet river flowing.

Yu Xiaoqiao suddenly felt relieved and was also moved.

Si Wenming held her hand and said softly, "You are free. Just give me a chance to wait... even if it takes a lifetime!"

The voice was low, but extremely firm.

Yu Xiaoqiao pondered for a while, turned around and looked at Si Wenming, "If I never agree in my life, are you willing?"

"Even if I have to wait like this for a lifetime, it's worth it!" Si Wenming nodded deeply, his eyes burning.

Yu Xiaoqiao couldn't help being moved, her eyes sparkling with tears.

She stared at Si Wenming and said softly, "If...if we were together and I suddenly disappeared, would you regret it?"

"I have no regrets. At least I have loved and possessed her." Si Wenming's eyes were like water.

Yu Xiaoqiao asked timidly: "Then the emperor and the queen..."

"I'll handle it." Si Wenming said calmly.

Yu Xiaoqiao looked at him and a warm feeling flowed through her.

For the first time in so many years, she felt that there was someone behind her, a shoulder to look back at, and someone to rely on.

After Yu Xiaoqiao finished washing up, she hurried to Lanzheng Hall.

Yu Xiaoqiao saw that Si Wenming and Li Lingyan were already seated. She glanced at them and her gaze stopped on Si Wenming for a moment, and she felt a little different in her heart.

Just as they sat down, Feng Zisu hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Is everything ready?"

Yu Xiaoqiao smiled and nodded.
