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

"I didn't expect that Tingxi and Xiyue have such a good relationship. Tingxi actually took the initiative to help Xiyue get things." The emperor said with a smile.

"Yes, details determine attitude. Tingxi really cares about Xiyue." The empress dowager looked at the emperor and a smile appeared on her face.

"Well, when I learned that Tingxi's knees were seriously injured, I have been worried about his future life, afraid that no one would take good care of him. Now, seeing Xiyue, I am relieved. This child is very kind and will definitely be able to take good care of Tingxi." The emperor was happy just thinking about it.

"Yes, Xiyue is indeed a good child." The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, and her eyes lit up when she thought of Xiyue.

The Queen watched the Emperor and the Queen Mother chatting. Although she had a smile on her face, there was still some anger in her eyes.

After the emperor and the empress dowager chatted for a few words, they left, and the empress also left and returned to her own palace.

After the queen returned to her bedroom, she met the second prince He Jingcheng, who had been waiting in the palace for a long time.

As soon as He Jingcheng saw the queen, he immediately went up to her and helped her sit down. He stood beside her, poured tea for her and personally handed the tea to her.

"Mother, drink some water first."

The queen took the tea, drank a few sips calmly, and put down the cup.

"Mother, Emperor, what are the attitudes of the others?" He Jingcheng went straight to the point.

When the queen thought of Ling Xiyue, a hint of anger appeared on her face.

"This eldest prince's consort is indeed quite capable. Her little mouth is as sweet as honey. As soon as she opens her mouth, she wins the favor of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Now, His Majesty and the Queen Mother love her so much."

He Jingcheng was startled and asked hurriedly: "Then, what about my brother? What is his attitude towards her?"

"Although it's not obvious, he probably likes her. Ling Xiyue is so eloquent, she will definitely win the eldest prince's favor." The queen analyzed.

He Jingcheng's face darkened when he heard this.

At this time, he signaled with his eyes to the palace maids and eunuchs around him to leave. He only spoke after they left and there were no outsiders in the room.

"In that case, Ling Xiyue should be pregnant with my brother's child soon."

The queen glanced at He Jingcheng and she understood what he meant.

"They are married now, so it's normal for them to get pregnant," the queen advised.

"But, I am unwilling to accept this. I just want him to cover your retreat, even at the cost of his life." He Jingcheng was indignant.

"Didn't I give you a chance? On the first day of March, you didn't get rid of him even with such a good opportunity. Now that he is on guard, are you still his match?" The Queen asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"He was lucky enough to survive that day. We can't kill him now, but we can make sure he has no descendants, right?" He Jingcheng said persistently.

The queen nodded when she heard this, "Indeed, if he has no offspring, it's like he's dead, and it won't have any impact on your succession to the throne."

He Jingcheng was overjoyed to get the Queen's approval.

"So, mother, you must help me."

The queen was a little embarrassed, "But, Ling Xiyue is not from the palace, it's not easy to do it."

"You don't have to worry about this, mother. I have my own way. Just cooperate with me." He Jingcheng smiled wickedly, with a little more confidence in his eyes.

Seeing this, the queen nodded and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just come to me and I will definitely cooperate with you."

"Thank you, mother." He Jingcheng bowed and bowed.

……

As soon as Ling Xiyue pushed He Tingxi out of the palace, Shi Hui came up to her and said, "First Prince's wife, please let me come down. You should take a rest."

"Okay." Ling Xiyue made way and did not refuse.

She walked over to He Tingxi and held out her hand, "Your Highness, I'll take my things myself."

"it is good."

Seeing this, He Tingxi returned the things to Ling Xiyue.

Ling Xiyue walked while looking at the gift in her hand, with a smile on her face.

He Tingxi saw it all, and although he didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth were raised.

After returning to the mansion, Ling Xiyue went back to her room, while He Tingxi and Shi Hui went to the study.

He Tingxi stood up and stretched his muscles only after seeing the door closed.

He told Shi Hui what happened in the Queen Mother's bedroom today, and said: "I didn't expect Ling Xiyue to be so kind-hearted. She married me just to take care of me."

"Yes, she is really a kind girl."

Shi Hui nodded, and after a pause, he asked curiously: "Your Highness, how do you plan to treat her in the future?"

"How should I treat her? Yesterday, I thought that it was normal for us to get married and have children. But, seeing her trembling all over and looking very scared, I really couldn't bear to do anything to her." A hint of helplessness appeared on He Tingxi's face.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hui couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Do we want to maintain this state?" Shi Hui continued to ask.

He Tingxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's keep it like this for now. She is a kind girl. If she doesn't want to or can't let go, I don't want to force her or hurt her."

Shi Hui smiled and said, "Your Highness is also very kind."

He Tingxi showed no expression at all in response to Shi Hui's comments.

After a while, He Tingxi asked, "The owner of the handkerchief, is there any progress?"

"I secretly sent people to investigate the daughters of many officials, and found that none of them liked white plum blossoms." Shi Hui reported truthfully.

"No one likes white plum blossoms? How could that be? In fact, I also like white plum blossoms. They are pure white, tough and upright, and not afraid of cold winds and snowstorms." He Tingxi frowned, unable to understand.

Shi Hui smiled when he heard this.

"Your Highness, isn't it said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? I think most people like flowers that are gorgeous and eye-catching, such as peonies, lotus, peonies, crabapples, roses, etc."

He Tingxi was stunned, but did not refute. After a slight hesitation, he continued to ask, "Have you inquired about all the officials and families in the capital? Have you asked all of them?"

"There are still a few companies I haven't asked." Shi Hui shook his head.

"How many? Which ones?" He Tingxi asked anxiously.

"Uh, the Qu family of the Marquis' Mansion, Lord Li's Mansion, Lord Wen's Mansion, oh, and the eldest prince's wife's family, but I didn't ask." Shi Hui said as he thought.

"Ling Mansion? I know that Ling Xiyue has a younger sister named Ling Chuchen. There is no need to ask about the Ling Chuchen who made a loud noise over a trivial matter. It definitely couldn't be her." He Tingxi had no good impression of Ling Chuchen when he thought of her.

"Yes." Shi Hui did not refute.

"Go check the other three companies and find out the information as soon as possible." He Tingxi ordered.

"Yes."

……

After Ling Xiyue returned to her room, she closed the door and studied her gift carefully.

But the more I look at it, the more heartbroken I feel.

"This jade pen holder, hairpin, and earrings are all high-end products made by the most powerful people in Nanyou Country. The emperor, the queen mother, and the queen. But, I can only have them here and cannot bring them back to the modern world. Isn't this tormenting me?"

"Original owner, can I add some conditions? I want more."
