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

When Ling Xiyue came to her senses and looked at He Tingxi, she found that He Tingxi was lying beside her, which scared her.

"Your Highness, you, you..."

At this point, Ling Xiyue pretended to be calm and continued: "Your Highness, I want to ask you a question, can you answer me?"

"You ask." He Tingxi nodded with a smile.

"Uh, Your Highness, you came here today. Is it because you owe me something? You feel sorry for me, right? It's not because you like me, right?" Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi weakly.

Ling Xiyue's eyes made He Tingxi feel a little distressed. He reached out and touched Ling Xiyue's face, speaking softly with love in his eyes.

"It's not a debt, it's love. I really like you."

The moment He Tingxi touched her face, Ling Xiyue felt goose bumps all over her body.

She really wanted to take He Tingxi's hand away, but when she saw He Tingxi's affectionate look, she suddenly couldn't do it.

When she heard He Tingxi say that he liked her, she felt like her head was about to explode.

He Tingxi was overjoyed to see that Ling Xiyue did not refuse. He quickly lay on top of Ling Xiyue.

"Xiyue, I like you, not because I owe you anything, don't worry." He Tingxi said affectionately.

Ling Xiyue had been in a trance the whole time. When she came to her senses, He Tingxi was already lying on top of her with his face pressed against hers.

Suddenly, I was so nervous that I didn't know what to do.

She knew that there was no way out. They were husband and wife and had no right to refuse.

But, she inexplicably resisted in her heart.

I closed my eyes unconsciously and pursed my lips, not wanting to face what was in front of me.

He Tingxi originally wanted to kiss Ling Xiyue, but when he saw Ling Xiyue pursing her lips and looking resisting, he suddenly felt heartbroken.

At the same time, he also knew Ling Xiyue's intentions.

He stepped down from Ling Xiyue's body and lay flat on the bed.

Ling Xiyue instantly felt this action. She quickly opened her eyes and looked at He Tingxi, only to see He Tingxi looking forward with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

But she didn't dare ask more questions and just watched silently.

He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue's actions out of the corner of his eye, and he said calmly: "I am abrupt, take a rest."

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Xiyue to reply, He Tingxi closed his eyes, turned sideways, and faced away from Ling Xiyue.

Ling Xiyue was dumbfounded. She never expected that He Tingxi would "let her go".

I thought to myself: Your Highness, did he realize that I don't like him and don't want to be with him, so he didn't continue? If that's the case, Your Highness is really a good person, a very good person. I think Ling Junqi was right, Your Highness is really kind.

After thinking about it, Ling Xiyue felt a little sorry, but she was still glad that He Tingxi didn't touch her.

She also closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

next day

At the hour of Mao, Ling Xiyue woke up. The first thing she did after opening her eyes was to look towards the bed. Seeing that there was no one there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she sat up.

"When did His Highness leave? Wasn't his leg inconvenient?"

Ling Xiyue felt puzzled, but she didn't think about it too much. Instead, she got up and put on her clothes.

After she opened the door, the maids came in to help her wash and dress. After Xiaoyin came over, she had breakfast with Xiaoyin.

When Xiaoyin asked about what happened last night, Ling Xiyue just smiled faintly and did not reveal any information to Xiaoyin. She didn't want Xiaoyin to know about her and He Tingxi.

study

He Tingxi sat at the desk, reading the letters, and became absent-minded as he read.

Thinking of Ling Xiyue, he became dazed.

He didn't even notice Shi Hui walking in. It was only when Shi Hui bowed and called him that he slowly came to his senses.

Seeing that it was Shi Hui, he asked, "Shi Hui, is there anything wrong?"

Shi Hui stood in front of the desk and asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you worried about something?"

He Tingxi looked at Shi Hui, put the letter in his hand on the table, and let out a faint sigh.

"Ling Xiyue, if she doesn't like me, why did she marry me?" He Tingxi frowned unconsciously.

"The Crown Prince's wife doesn't like Your Highness?" Shi Hui was surprised.

"Well, last night, I went to her room, but she was very resistant." He Tingxi thought of what happened last night, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

"So, Your Highness, there is still no..." Shi Hui guessed what He Tingxi meant, but stopped at this point.

He Tingxi knew what Shi Hui meant, and he smiled bitterly.

"No."

Shi Hui looked at the sad He Tingxi and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he could only stand there silently.

He Tingxi paused for a while and then spoke again.

"I learned yesterday that she was the girl who saved me. I was really excited and happy, thinking that God had not treated me unfairly by promising me such a kind, intelligent and lovely girl. I thought that I had neglected her for more than a month, but I didn't expect that I was just being sentimental. She didn't like me at all, and I didn't come, which was exactly what she wanted."

"Then why did she insist on marrying His Highness? She could have been like other daughters and not chosen His Highness. Isn't she contradicting herself?" Shi Hui became excited and a little angry.

"I don't understand either. Is someone forcing her behind her back? Is she having no choice?" He Tingxi was also puzzled.

"Force her? Why force her to marry His Highness? What's the benefit? His Highness is like this?" Shi Hui's mind was full of doubts.

"Could it be Ling Junqi?" He Tingxi guessed.

"Ling Junqi?" Shi Hui widened his eyes.

"I've been so low-key, but he still wants to follow me. Isn't this a strong proof? If Ling Xiyue doesn't marry me, I will never keep him around to do things. So, in order to get close to me, he has no choice but to marry Ling Xiyue to me." He Tingxi analyzed.

Shi Hui nodded repeatedly as he listened to He Tingxi's analysis.

"This is most likely the reason. Ling Junqi and the eldest prince's wife are siblings from the same mother. They both lost their mother when they were young, so they must have a very good relationship. When the kind-hearted eldest prince's wife learned that Ling Junqi admired Your Highness, she would probably choose to marry Your Highness for the sake of Ling Junqi's future, even if he was someone she didn't like."

He Tingxi felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

"Ling Xiyue is indeed a very kind and considerate woman, there is no doubt about that. It seems that Ling Xiyue must have married me for Ling Junqi."

Shi Hui saw that He Tingxi was depressed, so he comforted him, "Your Highness, don't be so upset. Although the eldest princess doesn't like you now, feelings can be cultivated slowly, right? I believe that as long as your Highness cares more about and is considerate of the eldest princess, she will be moved sooner or later."

Shi Hui's words reminded He Tingxi. He became excited and full of energy.

"Shi Hui, you are right. As long as you show more love and care to her, she will definitely be touched."

Seeing He Tingxi's brows relaxed, Shi Hui was in a good mood and nodded.

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, Shi Hui, go and call Butler Xiao over. I have something to tell him."

"Yes."
