When Ling Xiyue heard He Tingxi calling her "Xiyue", she was stunned and a little uncomfortable, but she still did not stop him.

"Yes, I love money, but I can't take money beyond my means, it will backfire."

Hearing this, He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction. He did not persuade her any further, but closed the small box.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and save it for future use."

When Ling Xiyue saw He Tingxi accept it, she smiled with satisfaction.

"Then I won't bother you, Your Highness. I'll go back to my room first."

When He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue turning around, he hurriedly called out to her.

"Xiyue, wait a moment."

Ling Xiyue stopped and looked at He Tingxi with a questioning look on her face, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

"Uh, it's about the Ling Mansion and your sister."

"younger sister?"

Ling Xiyue muttered, and soon she reacted and asked anxiously: "Is it my sister's wedding date? When?"

He Tingxi nodded, "Yes, the Royal Grandmother has already set the date. The wedding is on the tenth day of August."

"So fast, do my brothers and the others know?" Ling Xiyue continued to ask.

"The imperial decree will not reach Ling Mansion until the day after tomorrow."

"Okay. Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me." Ling Xiyue was a little disappointed, but she still responded politely.

I couldn't help thinking: His Highness must be very popular in the palace, he always gets the news quickly. Ling Chuchen will soon marry the Second Prince, the Second Prince and His Highness have conflicts, and I also have conflicts with Ling Chuchen. It seems that if I want Ling Junqi to gain a foothold, I must defeat the Second Prince and his men.

He Tingxi saw that Ling Xiyue was not in a good state, and asked with concern: "Is there anything you are worried about?"

Ling Xiyue recovered and thought of Ling Chuchen. After a little hesitation, she said, "Your Highness, I have something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" He Tingxi said in a gentle tone.

"Actually, my sister Ling Chuchen and I also have conflicts." Ling Xiyue said truthfully.

He Tingxi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled softly, "I know this."

"Your Highness, how did you know? I didn't say it clearly." Ling Xiyue was shocked.

"Before, I was suspicious of you because I saw that your attitude towards her was not very nice. Later, when I saw that you knew she had my second brother's ointment and did not persuade her to stop using it, I knew that the conflict between you and her was not an ordinary one." He Tingxi smiled confidently.

Ling Xiyue's face showed admiration. She gave He Tingxi a thumbs up and praised him, "Your Highness, you are so thoughtful. That's amazing."

Receiving Ling Xiyue's praise, He Tingxi's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of smiles.

"In fact, you and I have always been on the same side, and I also know your intentions towards Ling Junqi."

Speaking of Ling Junqi, He Tingxi suddenly became serious.

"My intentions towards my brother? Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Ling Xiyue suddenly had a bad feeling, thinking that He Tingxi knew something, and felt a little guilty.

In response to Ling Xiyue's reaction, He Tingxi just smiled indifferently.

"There are no outsiders here, and I won't hide anything. I know that your brother has always admired me and wanted to work by my side. You decided to marry me to fulfill your brother's wish, didn't you? In fact, this is your intention towards your brother."

After saying this, a hint of sadness emanated from He Tingxi's eyes.

Ling Xiyue was speechless for a moment, she stared at He Tingxi blankly.

I thought to myself: Your Highness, he is really thoughtful. Although it was my wrong decision to marry your Highness, the reason why I finally insisted on going on was indeed because of Ling Junqi. Hey, he wouldn't think that I was afraid of sleeping with him because of this reason, right?

Seeing Ling Xiyue remained silent, He Tingxi continued, "No matter what you think, I don't mind, because as long as you are by my side, I will feel very satisfied. As for the relationship, just cultivate it slowly, and I won't force it."

Ling Xiyue was dumbfounded. She didn't expect He Tingxi to be so open-minded. She suddenly felt uneasy.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be so nice to me. I don't deserve it."

He Tingxi shook his head and smiled.

"Don't sell yourself short, you are good and you are worth it."

Ling Xiyue was speechless. She lowered her head slightly and did not dare to look He Tingxi in the eye.

I was thinking: His Highness' attitude towards me has changed drastically since he found out that I was the Baimei who donated money. We used to treat each other with respect and indifference. Now, he gives me money, cares about me, and wants to get close to me. It's obvious that he really likes me. What should I do? He also wants to slowly move me and make me fall in love with him. How is this possible? I am going back, so why talk about love?

Seeing that Ling Xiyue still didn't say anything, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Xiyue, don't worry, I am sincere to you, just stay by my side."

Ling Xiyue recovered and forced a smile, "Your Highness, I, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, without waiting for He Tingxi to say anything, she left the study room quickly and without permission.

He Tingxi was stunned, then smiled helplessly. After he saw Ling Xiyue retreat, he looked at the small box in front of him.

He muttered, "Ling Xiyue, you are still the same as always, only taking what you deserve and never being greedy, but the more you do this, the more I want to give it to you."

Speaking of Ling Xiyue, He Tingxi couldn't help but smile.

After leaving the study, Ling Xiyue walked slowly towards the yard.

Thinking of He Tingxi, she was very confused and didn't know how to go on.

Back in the room, Xiaoyin saw that Ling Xiyue didn't have the small box in her hand, so she stepped forward and asked, "Miss, did His Highness accept it?"

Ling Xiyue sat at the round table, nodded, frowned, and said, "I'll accept it. Your Highness is still easy to talk to about this."

Xiaoyin stood beside Ling Xiyue, and seeing her unhappy look, she asked with concern, "Miss, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiyue sighed softly, her brows almost wrinkled into knots.

"Hey, tell me, Your Highness, why do you like me? Is it just because I donated money to him? I'm not the only kind person, really."

Xiaoyin laughed, she was very confused.

"Miss, being liked by His Highness is a good thing, isn't it? From now on, no one in the mansion will dare to treat you badly, and everyone will be respectful to you, isn't that good?"

"No, I still prefer the days when no one cares about me. I am so free then. Now, I am always being thought of by someone, and I feel uncomfortable." Ling Xiyue shook her head.

"Miss, you can have a child only with the favor of His Highness. Only with a child can you maintain your status, right?" Xiaoyin reminded with a smile.

"Child? Do I have to have another one?" Ling Xiyue felt even more headache.

"Having children is a must. Without children, how can you keep your status? What's more, Your Highness is a prince. How can the royal bloodline be cut off?" Xiaoyin answered affirmatively.

"You said that since I haven't had any children, will I be abandoned? Or will His Highness remarry?" Ling Xiyue asked cautiously.
