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

"No, I didn't use my real name. I used the name Baimei." Ling Xiyue smiled.

"White plum?"

Ling Junqi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, Ling Junqi exclaimed: "So it seems that His Highness came to see you on purpose?"

Ling Xiyue was confused, "Looking for me? Why me?"

At this moment, Ling Junqi leaned towards Ling Xiyue with a mysterious look.

"Xiyue, I'm telling you, yesterday's competition was ostensibly organized by me, but in fact, it was arranged by His Highness. At first, I didn't understand why His Highness wanted to hold an embroidery competition. Today, after hearing what you said, I finally realized that His Highness wanted to find someone through the embroidery competition. The person he was looking for was you."

"Looking for me? I haven't done anything for Your Highness?" Ling Xiyue was still confused.

"Why don't you understand? Didn't you donate money to the front? Who is commanding and leading the front? It's His Highness. You helped His Highness when he was in the most difficult time, and you didn't even leave your real name. You said that His Highness is a person who knows how to repay kindness. How can he not think of a way to repay you?"

Ling Junqi explained patiently.

Ling Xiyue suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect that Your Highness is such a good person."

"Yesterday, when Brother Shi was evaluating handkerchiefs, he was actually looking for something. At that time, I was still wondering, but today I thought about it and realized that he was looking for a handkerchief with the name Baimei on it." Ling Junqi analyzed.

Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Junqi, many thoughts flashed through her mind, but she felt there were many doubts.

"But why did he come to me with an embroidery competition? Is he sure that I can embroider? What if I don't use the name Baimei?"

Ling Junqi was startled, and after a little thought, he asked, "How did you donate the money in the first place? Has anyone seen you?"

This question stumped Ling Xiyue. She tried hard to find the original owner's memory in her mind. After searching for a long time, she finally found it.

"Last year, Xiaoyin and I went to the war grain depot to donate money. At that time, they asked me to register my name, but I didn't want to use my real name. Later, I saw a white plum blossom embroidered on my handkerchief, so I suddenly had an idea and reported the name Baimei."

"Look, haven't you exposed your information? Although the person who helped you register didn't know who you were, he must have remembered that you were a little girl who could embroider and liked white plum blossoms." Ling Junqi analyzed.

After listening to Ling Junqi's analysis, Ling Xiyue nodded, "It seems to be true."

Ling Junqi had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.

"Xiyue, your good day has come. If His Highness knew that you were the one who helped him, he would definitely love you even more."

Ling Xiyue was stunned. Thinking of En Chong, she got goose bumps all over her body.

"Brother, didn't I run away? Don't tell His Highness. Just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

"Do you think you can run away? Yesterday, although you wore a veil, you appeared in public after all. If His Highness investigates seriously, he will definitely find out something. Brother, I finally work for His Highness. The first time he assigned me a task, I lied to him. When he finds out, do you think he will still use me?"

Ling Junqi asked back with a straight face.

Ling Xiyue was suddenly speechless and unable to refute.

"So, I can only tell His Highness the truth that you are Baimei." Ling Junqi sighed lightly.

"Okay." Ling Xiyue compromised.

"Later, come with me to the study to find His Highness and tell him about the matter." Ling Junqi specifically instructed.

"Then, Your Highness held the competition to find me, so you can't tell me, right?" Ling Xiyue asked cautiously.

"Silly boy, you definitely can't tell these to His Highness. These are just our private guesses. You must not let His Highness know that we have guessed what he is thinking." Ling Junqi reminded.

"Okay, that's what I thought just now." Ling Xiyue nodded heavily.

"Let's go, we'll go to the study now." Ling Junqi stood up.

"it is good."

Ling Xiyue and Ling Junqi walked towards He Tingxi's study together.

When she went to the study, the door was open this time. Ling Xiyue was a little surprised.

After the message was passed, they walked into the study together and saw He Tingxi sitting at the desk with Shi Hui standing behind him.

They bowed to He Tingxi together.

"Why, are you and your sister coming here together today?" He Tingxi asked in a friendly manner.

After Ling Junqi glanced at Ling Xiyue, he knelt on the ground.

This action frightened Ling Xiyue.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Junqi signaled Ling Xiyue with his eyes. Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant. After a little hesitation, she also knelt on the ground.

He Tingxi was very confused. He gestured to Ling Junqi and Ling Xiyue and tried to persuade them.

"Why do you have to kneel down? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Get up?"

Ling Junqi did not stand up, he continued to kneel, and Ling Xiyue had no choice but to kneel obediently.

"I am wrong. Yesterday, I deceived Your Highness." Ling Junqi looked guilty.

"Deceived me?" He Tingxi was very puzzled.

"Yes, in fact, the Baimei who won the first place yesterday and then ran away was Xiyue. I did not tell the truth yesterday." Ling Junqi lowered his head and did not dare to look He Tingxi in the eye.

As soon as these words fell, He Tingxi was shocked, and Shi Hui was also very surprised.

He Tingxi was stunned for a long time before he looked at Ling Xiyue. Seeing Ling Xiyue lowering her head, his mind was full of doubts.

"Princess Princess, is it really you?"

"Your Highness, it was really me. Yesterday, I went back to my parents' home, but later, I ran away secretly and participated in an embroidery competition."

"Then why do you want to run away?" He Tingxi continued to ask.

"I didn't want to run away at first, but then I saw my second sister Ling Chuchen. I was afraid that she would find out and complain to His Highness, so I ran away. At that time, I never thought that my embroidery would win first place." Ling Xiyue also lowered her head and did not dare to look He Tingxi in the eye.

He Tingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this.

"Okay, I understand." He Tingxi said in a gentle tone.

Ling Xiyue raised her head slightly and saw that He Tingxi didn't seem angry at all. She felt a little uneasy.

"Junqi, Princess, please stand up. Don't blame yourself. This is just a small matter. Just explain it clearly." He Tingxi once again gestured with his hand for Ling Junqi and the others to stand up.

Ling Junqi and Ling Xiyue looked at each other before standing up together.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Junqi, you did very well in yesterday's competition. I am very satisfied. As for the matter of the prince's wife, it is just a small matter. There is no need to blame yourself for it." He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi and comforted him softly.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am ashamed." Ling Junqi still looked guilty.

At this time, He Tingxi turned his head to Shi Hui and said, "Shi Hui, take Junqi to the stable and give Junqi my favorite white horse as a reward for this mission."
