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

He Tingxi looked at the "serious" Ling Xiyue, and he still insisted on his decision.

"Why? Because you are my wife, the person I care about most."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Xiyue was stunned. She stared at He Tingxi blankly.

I was thinking: Your Highness, he cares about me the most? What does that mean? Why should I be punished for being the person he cares about the most?

Seeing this, He Tingxi didn't say much, but just looked at Ling Xiyue quietly.

After a while, Ling Xiyue still couldn't understand, so she asked again.

"Tingxi, I don't understand what you mean? You'd better explain it clearly."

Faced with Ling Xiyue's questioning, He Tingxi did not explain, but turned around and faced Ling Xiyue.

"I have made it very clear, and I don't want to say more. As for the two punishments I just mentioned, I will ask Butler Xiao to do it. Well, if there is nothing else, you can go back to your room and rest first."

When Ling Xiyue heard this, she immediately thought of He Tingxi's plan to punish Xiaoyin.

She panicked a little and said hurriedly, "Tingxi, I accept my punishment. I won't go out, but can you show some leniency and let Xiaoyin go?"

"This is not negotiable." He Tingxi said coldly, still turning his back to Ling Xiyue.

Ling Xiyue was stunned. She hurriedly walked up to He Tingxi and wanted to speak to him face to face.

Seeing Ling Xiyue coming to him, He Tingxi was stunned for a moment. He continued with a straight face and said, "You don't need to say anything more, go back to your room."

"Tingxi, is there really nothing to discuss?" Ling Xiyue confirmed again.

"There's no room for negotiation." He Tingxi still said coldly.

He Tingxi's indifference irritated Ling Xiyue, and she instantly became angry.

"Really? Okay, go ahead and hit me. At worst, I'll lie on top of Xiaoyin while you hit her with the stick." Ling Xiyue glared at He Tingxi.

He Tingxi instantly felt challenged by Ling Xiyue's "strong" response, and he rebuked her angrily.

"you dare?"

"Hmph! What is there to be afraid of? Did you force me to do this?" Ling Xiyue was not afraid at all, she said without hesitation.

Seeing this, He Tingxi threatened: "If you dare, I will make the person you care about most, your brother, pay a heavy price for this."

When Ling Xiyue heard that it was targeting Ling Junqi, she was instantly terrified.

"What do you want to do? What are you going to do to my brother?"

"What do you think?" He Tingxi asked deliberately.

Looking at such a "hateful" He Tingxi, Ling Xiyue was extremely angry.

I was thinking: This He Tingxi, I wanted to anger him, but he ended up threatening me. Ling Junqi is indeed very important to me, I must not let Ling Junqi get hurt, otherwise, my previous efforts will be in vain. What should I do? I can't let Xiaoyin get beaten in vain?

Seeing Ling Xiyue remained silent, He Tingxi advised with a serious face: "You should go back and rest. Xiaoyin must be punished, otherwise she will not know the seriousness of letting you go out at will."

Ling Xiyue looked at the serious He Tingxi, her mind working rapidly, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

She quickly changed her "tough" attitude and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Tingxi, sit down first, let's talk it over." Ling Xiyue said as she helped He Tingxi sit on the chair next to them.

After He Tingxi sat down, he saw that Ling Xiyue's attitude had improved, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Xiyue, do you still want to persuade me not to punish Xiaoyin?"

Ling Xiyue was stunned. She forced a smile and then turned to He Tingxi and sat on his lap generously.

This action made He Tingxi stunned for a moment, but soon the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the smile on his face was already obvious.

Without waiting for He Tingxi to respond, Ling Xiyue put her arms around He Tingxi's neck and hugged him.

She even leaned close to He Tingxi's ear and whispered softly, "Tingxi, just promise me that you won't punish Xiaoyin, okay?"

Upon hearing this, He Tingxi was instantly "fascinated" by Ling Xiyue and lost his direction. He hesitated.

"What about this?"

Seeing that He Tingxi was still a little hesitant, Ling Xiyue decided to do something ruthless.

Without hesitation, she went for He Tingxi's lips and kissed him passionately.

He Tingxi was stunned. Although he was surprised, he quickly responded to Ling Xiyue's kiss.

He stretched out his arms, hugged Ling Xiyue tightly, and kissed her passionately.

After kissing for a while, Ling Xiyue wanted to stop the passionate kiss, but He Tingxi was still enjoying the kiss and had no intention of stopping.

Ling Xiyue suddenly felt a little regretful. She should not have provoked He Tingxi like this.

But He Tingxi did not express his opinion on Xiaoyin's matter, so Ling Xiyue had to accompany him.

After a long time, He Tingxi stopped, and Ling Xiyue finally felt relieved.

However, He Tingxi still hugged Ling Xiyue tightly. He put his face close to Ling Xiyue's and said affectionately: "Xiyue, I can't control myself if you do this."

Ling Xiyue was stunned, then realized what He Tingxi meant, and she forced a smile.

"Tingxi, for my sake, please spare Xiaoyin. This won't happen again." Ling Xiyue quickly got down to business, she said softly.

Looking at Ling Xiyue who was persisting for Xiaoyin's sake, He Tingxi sighed helplessly. He rubbed Ling Xiyue's nose with his nose and nodded.

"Well, since you tried so hard to plead for her, I won't punish her this time, but this won't happen again."

Ling Xiyue was overjoyed. She said excitedly: "Tingxi, thank you so much."

"But, if there is a next time, no matter what tricks you use, I will not compromise or forgive you." He Tingxi said deliberately seriously.

Ling Xiyue felt a little guilty when she heard that. She smiled awkwardly but refused to admit it.

"Tingxi, what are you talking about? What plan do I have?"

He Tingxi kissed Ling Xiyue lightly on the lips and said with a smile: "You took the initiative to kiss me, isn't this a honey trap?"

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue stopped pretending and responded generously: "Okay, I admit it. But, you can choose not to fall for it, right? I didn't force you."

"You, you know how I feel about you, but you still deliberately treat me like this. You are so cruel." He Tingxi scolded lovingly.

Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi with a face full of affection and suddenly felt uneasy. She broke free from He Tingxi's arms, stood up, and tidied her clothes.

"Tingxi, I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room and rest first."

Seeing Ling Xiyue leave his arms, he felt somewhat reluctant, but he still agreed.

"Well, go and have a rest first. I'll call you back when it's time for dinner."

"Okay." Ling Xiyue responded, turned around, walked out of the study and closed the door.

After He Tingxi saw the door closed, he leaned back in his chair, thinking about Ling Xiyue's words and actions just now, his expression helpless yet sweet.

"Xiyue, I really want to punish you and teach you a lesson so that you won't do what you want anymore. But facing someone as cunning as you, I really don't have any way to deal with you. Tell me, what should I do?"
