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

When He Tingxi heard the voice, he remembered that today was the day when He Jingcheng and Qu Xiaowan came to the palace to pay their respects to their newlyweds.

"Come in." The queen smiled brightly.

After a while, He Jingcheng and Qu Xiaowan walked into the Queen's bedroom together.

As soon as he entered the door, He Jingcheng saw He Tingxi. He was stunned, and then nodded to He Tingxi.

"Brother Royal."

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan." Qu Xiaowan bowed to He Tingxi.

"Second brother, sister-in-law." He Tingxi also nodded to He Jingcheng.

Seeing this, Shi Hui also saluted.

After greeting, He Jingcheng did not continue talking to He Tingxi, but took Qu Xiaowan to kneel down and pay homage to the queen.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother and wishes her a long life and good health."

"The daughter-in-law pays homage to the Queen Mother and wishes her a long life and good health."

"Stand up and take a seat." The queen smiled and ordered the eunuch beside her.

At this time, He Tingxi was looking at He Jingcheng and Qu Xiaowan carefully.

He Jingcheng's face was flushed and radiant, while Qu Xiaowan looked melancholy.

He thought to himself: It seems that He Jingcheng is very satisfied with Qu Xiaowan, but Qu Xiaowan seems to be compromising and unwilling to give in.

After the ceremony, He Jingcheng and Qu Xiaowan both sat down.

The Queen started to exchange pleasantries with He Jingcheng and Qu Xiaowan, and also gave Qu Xiaowan a lot of gifts.

He Tingxi and Shi Hui watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

While talking with the Queen, He Jingcheng would look at He Tingxi from time to time and pay attention to He Tingxi's actions.

His mind was on He Tingxi, and he wanted to finish his conversation with the Queen as soon as possible.

Seeing that most of the topics had been discussed, he turned his attention to He Tingxi.

"Royal brother, why are you here at this hour? Maybe it's something urgent?" He Jingcheng asked curiously.

"Yes, there are some things, but they are not urgent." He Tingxi also looked at He Jingcheng and answered calmly.

"What is it? Can you tell me?" He Jingcheng looked very interested.

"Tingxi, he came to the palace because he wanted our mother to be a matchmaker for Ling Chuchen." The Queen said first.

He Jingcheng was stunned. He glanced at the queen and then turned his gaze to He Tingxi with a puzzled look on his face.

Qu Xiaowan was also surprised, and she turned her gaze to He Tingxi.

"Yes, mother has agreed to help." He Tingxi saw everyone looking at him, and he nodded in response.

"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" He Jingcheng couldn't help but ask.

"Yesterday, Madam He and Ling Chuchen came to visit your sister-in-law. When she talked about Ling Chuchen's current condition, she felt very distressed. In order not to make your sister-in-law sad, I went to the palace and asked my mother for help." He Tingxi explained patiently.

"So that's how it is. Chuchen, ah..." He Jingcheng sighed softly, a look of guilt appearing on his face.

Then, he looked at the queen and said sincerely, "Mother, please help Chuchen find a husband of her dreams."

"Yes, mother has already agreed to Tingxi." The queen nodded.

"That's great." He Jingcheng smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that the purpose of his visit had been achieved, He Tingxi nodded and bowed to the queen.

"Mother, I will not disturb you from meeting my second brother and his wife. I will take my leave."

"Okay, go back." The queen agreed readily.

"Brother, walk slowly."

Shi Hui pushed He Tingxi out of the Queen's bedroom.

After seeing He Tingxi leave, He Jingcheng couldn't wait to talk to the queen alone.

He deliberately asked Nanny Dong to take Qu Xiaowan to visit the Queen's bedroom and sent Qu Xiaowan away.

He Jingcheng spoke only when he and the queen were alone in the bedroom.

"Mother, why did you agree to He Tingxi? There were so many other people to look for, but he chose you. There must be some conspiracy." He Jingcheng said with a slightly complaining tone.

"My queen mother didn't want to agree, but he said that if I didn't help, he would go to your grandmother. I had no choice but to agree to him," the queen explained.

"He actually brought up the Empress Dowager?" He Jingcheng was a little annoyed.

"You know that your royal grandmother has always loved He Tingxi. If he goes to your royal grandmother for help, she will definitely ask your father to solve the problem. When your father knows that I refuse to help, he will definitely blame me, the stepmother, for not loving He Tingxi. I have no choice."

The queen explained helplessly.

"Forget it, does the Queen Mother have any suitable candidate?" He Jingcheng had no choice but to accept the reality and he continued to ask.

"I haven't thought about it yet. The so-called suitable candidate is not easy to find." The queen sighed slightly.

"He Tingxi, he did it on purpose. Madam He asked Ling Xiyue for help, but he did the good thing and saved himself the trouble. He just said a few words and handed the problem to others." He Jingcheng continued to complain.

"Mother, I know that too. But now, our problem is who should we find for Ling Chuchen? This is the key point." The Queen went straight to the point.

He Jingcheng was silent, he lowered his eyes and thought.

The queen also lowered her eyes, thinking.

After a while, He Jingcheng suddenly spoke, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Mother, I have a good candidate."

"Who?" the queen asked hurriedly.

"Ye Xuan, the second son of Ye Xin, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple." A hint of evil appeared on He Jingcheng's lips.

"Ye Xin, the Junior Secretary of the Taichang Temple? Isn't he Concubine Qing's brother?" the Queen muttered. At this moment, she had already guessed He Jingcheng's intention.

"That's right, he is Concubine Qing's brother. He is neither from our side nor from He Tingxi's side, so the marriage is not awkward at all." He Jingcheng analyzed.

"Well, that's true."

The queen nodded, but then she thought again and felt something was wrong.

"But, will they agree? I believe they have known about Ling Chuchen for a long time. They have never proposed marriage to the Ling family, which means that they have no interest in Ling Chuchen at all. If we go to propose marriage, I am afraid they will not agree."

He Jingcheng just smiled faintly when he heard this.

"This is not a problem. Concubine Qing has never been favored by our father and has no children. If it weren't for her brother being the Shaoqing of the Imperial Temple, she would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne of concubine. At this time, the Queen Mother went to weigh the pros and cons with Concubine Qing and said that if her nephew married Ling Chuchen, he would actually be indirectly related to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. In the future, if Concubine Qing has any problems, how could His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan stand idly by?"

The queen listened to He Jingcheng's analysis and nodded repeatedly.

"You are right. Concubine Qing should agree to this marriage."

After saying that, the queen's face darkened, "But, this is a good thing for He Tingxi, as it gives him an extra force."

He Jingcheng disagreed and comforted her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Ye Xin, the Junior Official of the Imperial Ministry of Rites, holds a high position, but he has no real power. He is only in charge of ceremonials and other matters. Having him more or less will not make a difference."

"Yeah, that's right." Upon hearing this, the queen felt much more comfortable.
