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

Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment before handing the box to He Tingxi. Then, she pushed the wheelchair and took He Tingxi out of the Queen Mother's palace.

As soon as they left the palace, Shi Hui walked behind He Tingxi, and Ling Xiyue walked away, giving way to Shi Hui.

She walked beside He Tingxi by herself.

He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue and asked with concern: "Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest before going to the Queen."

"It's okay, it's just a few steps." Ling Xiyue shook her head and said with a smile.

Seeing Ling Xiyue being so sensible, He Tingxi felt a little guilty. He said distressedly, "Xiyue, thank you for your hard work. After today, I will try not to bring you into the palace. After all, there are many rules in the palace, and you have to kneel down at any time. But today I really have no choice. I must come here in person to inform the elders about the pregnancy."

"I understand. It's not a frequent thing. There's no problem coming here occasionally. Besides, we've gained a lot from today's trip." After Ling Xiyue said this, she looked specifically at the box in He Tingxi's hand and smiled with satisfaction.

He Tingxi followed Ling Xiyue's gaze and looked at the box. He just smiled and said nothing.

……

The news that He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue went to pay a visit to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager soon spread to the Queen's Palace.

Nanny Dong was the first to get the news, and she immediately went to inform the queen.

After entering the room, Nanny Dong asked the palace maids to leave before speaking to the Queen.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince and his wife have entered the palace together. They have already paid their respects to His Majesty and the Queen Mother. I heard that His Majesty has issued an edict to confer the title of Prince of Yan on His Majesty and the title of Princess of Yan on His Majesty. The Queen Mother has rewarded the eldest prince and his wife with 50 taels of gold."

Nanny Dong finished speaking in one breath. After hearing it, the Queen was stunned, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his Consort have already gone to your place and will be here soon," Nanny Dong reminded.

The queen slowly recovered and began to mutter, "What's going on? Why is Ling Xiyue still pregnant? Didn't Jing Cheng give her a plaster? Why doesn't it work? It shouldn't be like this."

The queen became more and more confused, and her brows were almost twisted into knots.

"Yes? Didn't she use it? She even asked the Second Prince for a few more bottles. Logically, she shouldn't be able to get pregnant." Nanny Dong was also puzzled.

"Do they know the secret of the plaster?"

The queen reasoned, but then she changed her mind and shook her head, "It's impossible. Even doctors with excellent medical skills can't tell the difference. How can she, who doesn't have any medical skills, find out? What's wrong?"

"Is her body different from that of ordinary people?" the queen reasoned again.

After thinking for a moment, Nanny Dong advised, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince's wife is only pregnant now. If she insists on using that ointment, I don't believe she can keep the baby in her belly."

The queen's depressed mood instantly improved after hearing this. She smiled and said, "Madame Dong, you are right. Being pregnant does not mean that the baby can be born smoothly. There are still many possibilities."

"Your Majesty is right." Nanny Dong agreed.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice was heard outside.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and his wife request an audience."

The Queen and Nanny Dong looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then Nanny Dong shouted, "Please come in."

Not long after, Ling Xiyue pushed the wheelchair and walked into the queen's bedroom.

Although Ling Xiyue felt a little tired, she still had to kneel down and kowtow.

He Tingxi bent down slightly.

After Ling Xiyue paid her respects, the Queen asked the palace maid to bring a stool and asked Ling Xiyue to sit down and chat.

The Queen spoke only after she saw Ling Xiyue sit down.

"Tingxi, you two came to the palace together. There should be good news, right?" said the Queen with a smile.

"To answer your question, mother, I have good news to tell you. Xiyue is pregnant. I have come here to tell you the good news." He Tingxi said respectfully.

The queen looked surprised. She looked at Ling Xiyue and asked, "Xiyue, is it true? How long have you been pregnant?"

"My dear mother, my daughter-in-law is two months pregnant." Ling Xiyue responded with a forced smile.

"It's been two months? Congratulations to you." The queen said with a smile.

Then, she turned her head to Nanny Dong beside her and said, "Nanny Dong, go to the room and get 30 taels of gold."

"30 taels of gold?" Nanny Dong was stunned and didn't react.

"Go, I want to reward Xiyue." The queen reminded.

Nanny Dong suddenly realized what was going on, and she quickly replied, "Yes, I'll go."

After saying that, he walked into the inner room.

Ling Xiyue looked at Nanny Dong, then at the Queen, and politely declined, "Mother, I can't bear it."

"Xiyue, what are you talking about? You are pregnant with Tingxi's child. As Tingxi's mother, I should do my part, right?" said the Queen with a smile.

Ling Xiyue subconsciously looked at He Tingxi, and when she saw He Tingxi nod slightly, she responded: "Yes, daughter-in-law thanks mother."

"That's good." replied the queen.

After a while, Nanny Dong came out with a small box. She wanted to go to the Queen first, but the Queen winked at her and she immediately understood.

She walked towards Ling Xiyue and handed the small box to her.

"Please accept it, Crown Prince's wife." Nanny Dong said respectfully.

Ling Xiyue took it with both hands and responded politely, "Thank you."

Then she stood up, and this time, she did not kneel down, but just bowed to the queen.

"Thank you mother for the reward."

"Sit down. You are pregnant now, so there is no need to perform any formalities." The queen said considerately.

"Thank you, mother." Ling Xiyue sat down directly.

He Tingxi was watching Ling Xiyue from the side. Seeing that Ling Xiyue treated the empress dowager and the queen differently, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything and just watched quietly.

"Xiyue, I have been staying in the palace all the time and cannot take care of you most of the time. So, you have to take care of yourself. After all, you are pregnant with Tingxi's child now, do you understand?" the Queen said kindly.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law will definitely do it. Please rest assured, mother." Ling Xiyue responded with a smile.

"That's great." The queen nodded with satisfaction.

Then, she deliberately asked, "Xiyue, have you gone to see the Queen Mother and His Majesty?"

"I have already met you." Ling Xiyue responded truthfully.

"Okay, that's good to see you. Xiyue, you must not overwork yourself during the first three months of pregnancy. You have been running around today. It would be better for you to go back early and have a good rest. Don't get too tired." The queen advised.

When Ling Xiyue heard this, she instantly understood what he meant, and she responded in a smart way.

"Yes, thank you for your reminder, mother. I will take my leave now."

"Yeah. Go ahead."

"Your son will take his leave." He Tingxi also responded.

Ling Xiyue stood up, bowed slightly to the queen, and naturally handed the small box to He Tingxi. Then she pushed the wheelchair and walked out of the palace.

On the way out of the palace, He Tingxi was pushed by Shi Hui, and Ling Xiyue followed quietly behind.

At this moment, Ling Xiyue felt secretly happy when she thought about the trip to the palace and getting 80 taels of gold for free.
