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

"Then how do I introduce Ling Junqi to His Highness?" Ling Xiyue had a headache.

Ling Xiyue thought about it for a whole night and finally came up with a solution.

next day

In the afternoon, Ling Xiyue went to the study to find He Tingxi.

When she arrived at the study, she saw that the door was still closed. She wondered why it was always closed. The last time she came here, it was also closed.

But she did not investigate further and asked the guard at the door to pass the message.

After getting He Tingxi's consent, Ling Xiyue pushed the door, walked into the study, and walked to the desk.

At this time, He Tingxi was the only one in the study, sitting at the desk, writing something.

Ling Xiyue bowed first.

"Your Highness."

He Tingxi put the pen in his hand on the pen holder and spoke in a gentle tone.

"What's up?"

Ling Xiyue slowly built up her emotions, and only spoke after she got into the mood.

"Your Highness, last night, I kept thinking about the plaster. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. I always felt like someone wanted to harm me." Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi with a bitter face.

He Tingxi was startled, and felt a little guilty and sorry. He comforted her, "Don't think too much. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt."

"I believe in your character, Your Highness. You will definitely protect me well. However, Your Highness is very busy with official duties, and I really can't bear to let Your Highness worry about my affairs." Ling Xiyue looked very considerate.

"Don't say that. You are my wife and I should take care of you." He Tingxi said politely.

"But, I have always asked Your Highness to protect me, and if I do nothing, I will feel guilty towards Your Highness." Ling Xiyue said guiltily.

Ling Xiyue's "persistence" made He Tingxi smile softly. He asked, "Do you have anything to say? Just say it directly. As long as I can do it, I will promise you."

Ling Xiyue was stunned and thought to herself: Your Highness, you are so smart.

"Your Highness, how about we add another guard to our side? To protect you outside and me inside? How do you think?"

He Tingxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He already knew what Ling Xiyue was thinking.

He deliberately asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Yes, I know someone. He is very good at fighting, no less skilled than Shi Hui. The most important thing is that he has absolutely no second thoughts towards us." Ling Xiyue patted his chest and assured.

"You are so sure that you have absolutely no ulterior motives?" He Tingxi asked deliberately.

"Yes, absolutely not. I guarantee it with my life." Ling Xiyue nodded heavily.

When He Tingxi saw him, he smiled faintly.

"The person you are talking about, if nothing unexpected happens, should be your brother Ling Junqi, right?"

Ling Xiyue was startled and very surprised. She asked anxiously: "Your Highness, how did you know? You are so amazing."

He Tingxi did not answer Ling Xiyue's question, but persuaded her patiently.

"Your brother also has a stable job in the cabinet. Although his rank is not high, he has a promising future. But if he stays with me, there are too many uncertainties. I cannot guarantee that he will have a good future. Have you thought about this?"

He Tingxi's words stunned Ling Xiyue, and she suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

But when she thought back to what Ling Junqi had said to her, she hesitated again.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiyue spoke.

"Your Highness, you are the most remarkable person in Nanyou Country. If it weren't for you, Nanyou Country would definitely still be mired in war. My brother once told me that the person he admires the most has always been you. As long as he can stay by your side and do things, any future is not a problem for him, and he doesn't care."

He Tingxi was stunned for a moment and stared at Ling Xiyue.

After a while, he confirmed: "Are you sure this is what your brother meant?"

"Yes, it's his idea and mine as well. I agree with his approach, otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned it to Your Highness." Ling Xiyue said seriously.

At this moment, He Tingxi's expression became serious and he spoke earnestly.

"I have no problem with this, but before you let your brother come to work for me, I must make it clear. My legs are no longer able to walk upright, and I may not be able to inherit the throne. When the new emperor ascends the throne, I may face the fate of being exiled to the frontier. At that time, your brother will not be much better off. In this situation, are you sure you want to follow me?"

As soon as the words fell, Ling Xiyue was stunned again.

I thought to myself: What a realistic statement. I didn't expect He Tingxi to really dare to tell the truth. What should I do? Should I still fight for Ling Junqi?

Seeing Ling Xiyue hesitant, He Tingxi advised: "You should go back and think about this matter carefully before making a decision, right?"

After thinking for a while, Ling Xiyue said, "Your Highness, how about this? I'll ask my brother to come over and let you guys talk. My brother can decide whether to stay or not. Is that okay?"

He Tingxi thought about it and nodded, "Okay, when you are free, ask your brother to come over."

Ling Xiyue was overjoyed. She nodded, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness. Then, I will withdraw first."

Just as Ling Xiyue was about to turn around, He Tingxi said, "I want to ask..."

At this point, He Tingxi paused and didn't continue.

Ling Xiyue was stunned, stopped, and looked at He Tingxi curiously, "Your Highness, do you have anything else to say?"

He Tingxi paused for a moment, with a trace of guilt on his face. He lowered his head slightly and did not look directly at Ling Xiyue.

"Just now, I have predicted my future destiny. If you regret it, it's not too late now."

Ling Xiyue's eyes widened unconsciously, and many thoughts flew through her mind, but she still plucked up her courage. She was firm in her attitude and serious in her expression.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? I have already married Your Highness. No matter what Your Highness does, I will firmly stand by Your Highness's side and will not regret it."

He Tingxi was startled, then he forced a smile, "Okay, I understand, you go back and rest first."

"Yes." Ling Xiyue left the study.

He Tingxi then sighed softly and muttered, "Ling Xiyue, what should I do if you are like this?"

On the way back to her room, Ling Xiyue thought of what He Tingxi had just said, and she began to murmur in her heart: I always feel that His Highness is always hinting at me to withdraw on my own initiative, and I also feel that His Highness just feels guilty towards me.

But, we are already married and divorce is impossible. This is ancient times. If I get divorced, Ling Chuchen will laugh at me to death, and I won’t be able to help Ling Junqi consolidate his position, let alone complete the task.

Therefore, no matter how much Your Highness dislikes me, I will never divorce you. I will hold on until Ling Junqi successfully inherits the family business.

However, there is also an advantage to His Highness not liking me and despising me. At least I don't have to have children with him.

Hahahaha, it’s quite happy to think about it this way.

After Ling Xiyue thought about it for a while, everything suddenly became clear to her.

After returning to the room, Ling Xiyue walked to the desk and asked Xiaoyin to grind ink for her as she wanted to write a letter to Ling Junqi.

After grinding the ink, she picked up the brush and added some ink. The moment she raised her hand, she thought of her calligraphy, and suddenly, she was stunned.

I was thinking to myself: I’m not very good at calligraphy. What if Ling Junqi finds out that my handwriting is different?
