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

After Ling Junqi came to her side, Ling Xiyue looked around and when she saw that there was no one around, she continued talking as she walked.

"Brother, actually, I did fall off the cliff yesterday, but it wasn't because I slipped, but because someone pushed me down."

Ling Junqi was shocked and asked anxiously, "He was pushed down? Who?"

"It's Madam He." Ling Xiyue said seriously.

"Are you sure?" Ling Junqi looked serious.

Ling Xiyue nodded and reminded: "Sure, brother, I'm only telling you this. I hope you will be on guard against Madam He in the future. Don't let her take advantage of you and hurt your life."

Upon hearing this, Ling Junqi lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue continued, "Brother, I didn't tell the truth to father just now because I didn't want to alert the enemy, but I will definitely take revenge for this."

At this moment, Ling Junqi finally responded and nodded.

"Okay, I get it. I will be more careful. You too, if you encounter any problems in the future, you must tell me, okay?"

"I understand." Ling Xiyue nodded.

After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms.

Ling Xiyue walked to the original owner's boudoir based on her memory. As soon as she entered the boudoir, she looked left and right.

Curious about everything.

Xiaoyin stared blankly at the side, very confused by Ling Xiyue's behavior, frowning slightly.

After taking a general look at the layout of the room, she walked to the dressing mirror and sat down. She opened the cabinet drawer to see what jewelry was there.

The result was very disappointing. There were only one or two very ordinary silver hairpins and three or four pairs of silver earrings. They were so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary.

She murmured in a low voice: "Isn't she a young lady? Why is she so plain and elegant?"

Although the voice was very small, Xiaoyin still heard it and walked to Ling Xiyue.

"Miss, didn't you say that fighting on the border costs a lot of money and food, so we should be frugal and not wasteful? Didn't you donate 500 taels of silver to the soldiers fighting on the front last year?" Xiaoyin reminded with a smile.

Ling Xiyue looked at Xiaoyin in shock and asked, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Xiaoyin nodded heavily.

Ling Xiyue immediately admired the original owner. She never expected that he was such a kind-hearted person.

"She, oh, did I donate in my own name?" Ling Xiyue was curious.

Xiaoyin was stunned, "Miss, have you forgotten?"

"Uh, I fell off a cliff yesterday and hit my head. I remember some things, but not some others." Ling Xiyue said guiltily.

"Is it serious? Should we call a doctor to take a look?" Xiaoyin became nervous.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Didn't you say that I donated it in my own name?" Ling Xiyue continued to ask.

"The eldest lady said that if you leave your real name, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so you left the name Baimei." Xiaoyin said truthfully.

"Bai Mei again?" Ling Xiyue muttered, and when she lowered her head, she saw a light pink handkerchief.

She took it in her hand and looked carefully. There was a white plum blossom embroidered on the side, exactly the same as the handkerchief yesterday.

"Xiaoyin, how many handkerchiefs with white plum blossoms do you have?"

"Miss, you only embroidered two strips."

"Really?" Ling Xiyue put the handkerchief into her arms easily.

Then she closed the cabinet, walked out of the inner room, came to the outer room, and sat at the table.

Seeing Xiaoyin following her, she remembered what happened yesterday and asked curiously, "Xiaoyin, where were you yesterday when I was standing on the edge of the cliff?"

When Xiaoyin heard this, she thought Ling Xiyue was going to punish her, so she knelt on the ground in a hurry, her body shaking unconsciously.

"Miss, at that time, I was called by Madam to serve the old lady, so, so, it was my fault that I did not take good care of you."

Seeing Xiaoyin's frightened look, Ling Xiyue thought it must be Madam He's plan. How could she attack her without sending Xiaoyin away?

"Get up? I don't blame you, I'm just asking by the way." Ling Xiyue comforted.

"Thank you, Miss, for your magnanimity." Xiaoyin finally breathed a sigh of relief. After she stood up, she stood obediently behind Ling Xiyue with her head down.

Ling Xiyue saw Xiaoyin's cautious look from the side, and she instantly felt a little sympathy.

I thought to myself: It’s not easy for a mere worker to live so cautiously.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Ling Xiyue walked out the door and said, "Let's take a walk in the yard?"

"Yes." Xiaoyin followed behind.

While walking in the yard, Ling Xiyue had been thinking about how to make Ling Chuchen lose the election so that she could complete her task.

As she was walking with her head down, she accidentally saw a caterpillar on the ground. Suddenly, a plan came to her mind, and then she smiled triumphantly.

Seeing this, Xiaoyin was confused, "Miss, what are you laughing at?"

"No, I just thought of something funny just now." Ling Xiyue explained hurriedly.

"Oh!" Xiaoyin didn't dare to ask more.

In the next few days, Ling Xiyue basically did not leave the yard. She didn't want to meet Mrs. He and Ling Chuchen, nor did she want to chat with them.

Her mind is all on eating, drinking and having fun.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 20th.

Because she was going to enter the palace to participate in the election, Ling Xiyue was woken up at 3:00 p.m. and had to wash and dress herself.

Xiaoyin picked out a very gorgeous dress for Ling Xiyue. Seeing this, Ling Xiyue shook her head and refused.

"I don't even have any fancy accessories, so why should I wear such fancy clothes? Just dress like usual."

"But, if she is too ordinary, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be interested in the eldest lady?" Xiaoyin said worriedly.

Ling Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard that, and thought to herself: The original owner didn't say that she wanted me to be selected, she just said to let it be and depend on fate. It's best if she doesn't like me.

"Well? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How can we know what the Crown Prince is thinking?" Ling Xiyue deliberately evaded the question.

"But..." Xiaoyin was still not happy.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Seeing Xiaoyin hesitating, Ling Xiyue simply found a set of ordinary clothes from the closet and put them on.

She wore a silver hairpin on her head and ordinary silver earrings on her ears.

The makeup is just light makeup.

Xiaoyin looked at the "ordinary" Ling Xiyue in front of her, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

I am very worried about Ling Xiyue’s “future”.

Before Ling Xiyue left, she put the original owner's handkerchief in her arms. In addition, she also brought a very small bottle and placed it around her waist.

Seeing this, Xiaoyin asked curiously, "Miss, what's in this bottle? Why do you want to carry it with you?"

Ling Xiyue looked at the small bottle, a sly look in her eyes, and said mysteriously: "This is a secret."

Although Xiaoyin was still very confused, she didn't dare to ask more questions.

When looking at Ling Xiyue, for a moment, I felt that Ling Xiyue was very strange. She was very different from the eldest lady before, and she was a little more mysterious.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that I was overthinking it.
