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

Ling Xiyue tacitly accepted He Tingxi's gentleness towards him, although it was a bit passive.

After the passion faded, He Tingxi hugged Ling Xiyue in his arms, his face filled with a happy smile.

"Xiyue, I'm really happy today. I didn't expect you to accept me so quickly. Did your brother say something in front of you?" He Tingxi guessed.

Ling Xiyue was stunned. She pretended to be stupid and deliberately asked, "I just said that Ling Chuchen's marriage was cancelled. Is there anything else?"

"No." He Tingxi blurted out and shook his head.

"Oh." Ling Xiyue did not ask any further questions.

"That day, I suspected that you had a lover. You won't hate me, right?" He Tingxi brought up the past, his face full of guilt.

"No." Ling Xiyue shook her head.

"Actually, I was jealous that day. Now that I think about it, I was too suspicious. You are kind and well-behaved. How could you do something to let me down?" He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue gently and said affectionately.

Ling Xiyue raised her head slightly and glanced at He Tingxi. Seeing his passionate and affectionate eyes, she felt awkward and quickly lowered her head.

"It's okay, I don't take it to heart." Ling Xiyue looked free and easy.

He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue lying in his arms. He liked her more and more and was about to kiss Ling Xiyue again. Seeing this, Ling Xiyue hurriedly covered He Tingxi's lips with her hands.

He Tingxi looked confused.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I, I feel a little pain and want to rest for a while."

He Tingxi suddenly felt distressed when he heard this. He nodded in agreement, "Okay, we'll continue tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ling Xiyue responded with a forced smile.

However, He Tingxi still hugged Ling Xiyue tightly and was reluctant to let go.

After a while, He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue mysteriously.

"Xiyue, I have two good news, do you want to hear it?"

"Good news? What is it? I want to know." Ling Xiyue asked curiously.

"The first one is that my father promised me that as long as you are pregnant, he will make me the King of Yan." He Tingxi said with a smile.

"Just because I'm pregnant, I'll make you the King of Yan?" Ling Xiyue was shocked.

"That's right. Because of my knee problems, there have always been rumors in the outside world. So, as long as you get pregnant, the rumors will naturally be dispelled." He Tingxi explained.

"Is that so? Did you say that recently?" Ling Xiyue asked.

"No, my father told me before I got married. At that time, you didn't accept me. I didn't want to add pressure to you, so I never mentioned it."

After He Tingxi finished speaking, he couldn't help but touch Ling Xiyue's face with his hand and said softly.

Seeing He Tingxi's affectionate look, Ling Xiyue quickly changed the subject.

"I see. What about the second good news?"

He Tingxi was puzzled when he saw Ling Xiyue's expressionless face.

"I am named the King of Yan, and you are the Princess of Yan. From now on, everyone will call you Madam. Aren't you happy?"

Ling Xiyue was very calm. She smiled and said, "I'm not going for the status of Empress, so to me, it's all the same."

He Tingxi was very satisfied with Ling Xiyue's answer, and liked her even more.

He couldn't help but kiss Ling Xiyue passionately.

Ling Xiyue was stunned. She didn't want to be kissed by He Tingxi all the time, so she pushed him away several times before pushing him away.

He Tingxi, who was pushed away by Ling Xiyue, was still not satisfied? He complained slightly.

"Xiyue, what's wrong? Haven't you already accepted me?"

When Ling Xiyue heard this, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly made an excuse.

"Uh, you haven't told me the second good news yet? I'm waiting for it."

Seeing Ling Xiyue so anxious, He Tingxi smiled helplessly.

"Well, if I don't tell you, you definitely won't be able to sleep well. In fact, my knees are not injured, and I can walk upright." He Tingxi suddenly became serious.

Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of disbelief.

He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue staring at him blankly, so he just looked at Ling Xiyue quietly without saying anything.

"Are your knees okay? Is that true?" Ling Xiyue finally spoke, still finding it hard to believe.

He Tingxi nodded slightly, and he chuckled and said, "Actually, you should have felt it when we were making out just now. If my knees were really broken, I wouldn't have been able to complete that move."

Ling Xiyue couldn't help but recall the intimate scene, but when she thought of it, her face gradually turned red and she felt very shy.

I didn't dare to face He Tingxi for a moment.

She lowered her head and said softly, "I think so."

Ling Xiyue's shy look made He Tingxi's heart beat fast.

"Xiyue, I said that I won't let you down. Did I break my promise?" He Tingxi leaned close to Ling Xiyue's ear and said softly.

Faced with He Tingxi's tenderness, Ling Xiyue suddenly felt goose bumps.

She began to be "afraid" of the affectionate He Tingxi, so she had to find other topics.

"Um, um, why did you tell me this now? Aren't you afraid that I might leak it out? Do you trust me that much?"

He Tingxi is very calm and confident.

"You've given me your most precious first time, so of course I have to trust you."

Ling Xiyue was suddenly speechless and unable to refute.

"However, the time is not yet ripe for this matter. I hope you don't tell anyone, including your brother." He Tingxi instructed.

"Okay, I know, and I won't tell anyone." Ling Xiyue nodded.

"Then, why did you pretend that your knees were injured? Was it because of the Second Prince?" Ling Xiyue asked.

"Yes, on the first day of March, I was attacked and nearly lost my life. After that, I pretended to injure my knees, so that he would think his evil plan succeeded and let down his guard against me. I was just showing weakness temporarily. After all, I just returned to the capital and have not established a firm foothold in the capital. Only by keeping a low profile can I conserve my strength."

He Tingxi explained in detail.

Ling Xiyue listened to He Tingxi's story carefully and nodded frequently.

"Your Highness, you are so wise. This is called showing weakness to build up your strength." Ling Xiyue praised.

He Tingxi's face immediately lit up with joy after receiving Ling Xiyue's affirmation, and he touched Ling Xiyue's face with his hand.

"Xiyue, I didn't expect that you would understand me and agree with my approach as soon as I said it. I really can't help but love you like this."

After saying that, He Tingxi wanted to kiss Ling Xiyue again.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue quickly turned her head away and changed the subject.

"Your Highness, you said you were attacked on the first day of March? Is that right?"

"Yes, it's the first grade." He Tingxi nodded.

When she heard the name Chuyi, she remembered that she was also pushed off the cliff by Mrs. He on the same day.

"In fact, I was also attacked that day."

"Attacked? Were you attacked that day? Who? Who wanted to harm you?" He Tingxi was shocked and a little angry.

Ling Xiyue saw that He Tingxi was a little angry, and she felt that the time had come.

"It was my stepmother, Madam He. At that time, Chu Chen and I were both selected as candidates for your imperial concubine. Madam He didn't want me to be selected, so she pushed me off the cliff. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to come out alive."
