I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

He Tingxi saw all of Ling Xiyue's actions, but he did not react at all and continued to eat his breakfast quietly.

Seeing that He Tingxi had been silent, Ling Xiyue also did not say anything and ate her breakfast seriously.

She first ate five or six dumplings, then two buns, and finally a bowl of porridge. She stopped only after she finished drinking it.

He Tingxi was quite surprised at Ling Xiyue's appetite. He thought that most rich young ladies had small appetites and were very reserved, but he didn't expect that Ling Xiyue didn't care about her image at all.

He Tingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the "true nature" of Ling Xiyue.

"After dinner, come with me to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, Father, and Mother."

"Okay." Ling Xiyue agreed readily.

After leaving the dining room, they set out for the palace.

Because He Tingxi had difficulty walking, Shi Hui also sat in the carriage and was responsible for taking care of He Tingxi.

He Tingxi is tall and definitely not light in weight.

Seeing Shi Hui always struggling to carry He Tingxi into the carriage, then out of the carriage and onto the wheelchair, Ling Xiyue felt mixed emotions.

While I sympathize with He Tingxi, I also sympathize with Shi Hui. He is just a worker, but he has to do so much physical work.

If she were asked to do it, she would definitely not be able to do it.

After entering the palace, Ling Xiyue watched Shi Hui pushing He Tingxi forward. Suddenly, she thought of He Tingxi's orientation. After her eyes rolled a few times, a plan came to her mind. She wanted to test He Tingxi.

Ling Xiyue took the initiative to walk to Shi Hui.

"Shi Hui, let me push it, you take a rest."

Shi Hui was stunned and shook his head, "It's okay, I'll just push it."

"I am your highness's concubine and should take care of your highness, your highness, don't you think so?" Ling Xiyue deliberately looked at He Tingxi to emphasize.

"This……"

Shi Hui subconsciously looked at He Tingxi.

Seeing this, He Tingxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Shi Hui.

Shi Hui then let go of his hand and gave his seat to Ling Xiyue.

"Then I'll trouble you, Princess."

"It's not hard, it's okay."

Ling Xiyue stretched out her hand and pushed the wheelchair forward.

But I was confused: Why didn't he say no? Wouldn't gay men reject women getting close to them? It was really strange, or was it that he was not good at saying no? I'll try again later.

Ling Xiyue followed Shi Hui and walked towards the harem.

When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Shi Hui was guarding outside the palace, and He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue went in.

At this time, the emperor and the empress were also there. They sat on both sides of the empress dowager, as if waiting for He Tingxi and the others.

He Tingxi was sitting in a wheelchair, which made it inconvenient for him to do so, so he did not perform a full salute and could only salute verbally.

Only Ling Xiyue knelt on the ground and performed the solemn ceremony.

After the ceremony, Ling Xiyue stood next to He Tingxi and lowered her head slightly.

But she did not forget to steal a glance at the emperor. He was about 42 or 43 years old, with a lot of beard, and seemed much more stable and mature. He was also very handsome, but he looked nothing like He Tingxi.

When the emperor saw Ling Xiyue for the first time, he looked at her carefully, and then he smiled.

"Your name is Xiyue, right?"

"In reply to your Majesty, my daughter-in-law's name is Xiyue." Ling Xiyue responded respectfully.

The emperor thought back to what happened on the day of the election and was very curious about Ling Xiyue's decision.

"I heard that everyone withdrew from the election on the day of the election. Why didn't you withdraw and instead chose the eldest prince?"

He Tingxi was also very curious when he heard this, and he looked at Ling Xiyue from the side.

The Queen Mother and the Empress also looked at Ling Xiyue curiously.

Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment. She knew she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only make up a story. What should she say?

Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly remembered what Ling Junqi had once said to her, and instantly had a good idea of ​​what to say.

"In reply to your father's words, in fact, His Royal Highness the First Prince has always been the hero that I admire most in my heart. The reason why Nanyou Kingdom was able to defeat Beize Kingdom was due to His Royal Highness the First Prince's contribution. When I heard that His Royal Highness the First Prince was injured, I was sad for a long time. So, at that time, I made up my mind that as long as His Royal Highness the First Prince did not despise me, I would take care of him for the rest of my life."

As Ling Xiyue spoke, she even moved herself and felt a little into the play.

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.

This also included He Tingxi. After he recovered, he lowered his head slightly, with a trace of guilt and apology in his eyes.

Soon, a smile appeared on the emperor's face. He was very satisfied with Ling Xiyue's answer. The more he looked at Ling Xiyue, the more he liked her.

"Lord Ling is a good teacher and has raised a good daughter," the emperor praised.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is your daughter-in-law who should be grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am grateful that he does not despise me. Otherwise, how would your daughter-in-law have the opportunity to stand here today?" Ling Xiyue responded politely.

"Okay, okay. From now on, the responsibility of taking care of Tingxi will be handed over to you. I also believe that you can do a good job." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, your daughter-in-law will take good care of the Crown Prince. Please rest assured, father." Ling Xiyue said respectfully.

"Xiyue, I have something for you."

After that, the emperor turned his head to the chief eunuch Cui Gonggong who had been holding the box beside him, and said, "Old Cui, give the things to the eldest prince's wife."

"Yes."

Eunuch Cui walked up to Ling Xiyue and opened the box, "Please accept this, Princess Crown Prince."

Ling Xiyue looked down and saw that it was a pen holder, a pen holder in the shape of a mountain carved from white jade.

She reached out and took out the pen holder, studying it carefully.

The more I look at it, the more I like it, and the smile on my face is overflowing.

At this time, Eunuch Cui stepped back and stood beside the emperor.

The emperor saw this and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Ling Xiyue nodded heavily, her eyes never leaving the pen holder.

"That's good, if you like it, this is my gift to you." The emperor continued.

"Thank you, father." Ling Xiyue knelt on the ground tactfully and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

"Get up."

After Ling Xiyue stood up, she still held the pen holder tightly in her hand.

"Xiyue, I also have something to give you." The Queen Mother also spoke upon seeing this.

"Xiyue, I also have something to give you." The Queen also said.

After hearing this, the maids handed their gifts to Ling Xiyue. The empress dowager gave her a hairpin and the queen gave her a pair of gold and jade earrings.

After Ling Xiyue accepted them, she bowed one by one.

Ling Xiyue looked at the gift in her hand and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Seeing this, He Tingxi just smiled faintly and said nothing.

When the emperor saw that the gift had been delivered, he ordered, "Xiyue, take Tingxi back home. I believe he is tired."

"Yes, daughter-in-law obeys your order."

"My son, please retire."

After Ling Xiyue bowed, she wanted to push the wheelchair, but when she saw a pile of things in her hands, she was stunned.

Seeing this, He Tingxi took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Ling Xiyue was happy and immediately handed the things to He Tingxi, "Thank you, Your Highness."

After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The emperor and others saw this small action of Ling Xiyue and He Tingxi.

The emperor spoke only after Ling Xiyue and the others left.
