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

Ling Xiu's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Ling Xiyue's heart. She was dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.

Seeing Ling Xiyue's devastated look, Ling Xiu said distressedly, "Do you think that he is not good in that aspect and that he will only favor you because he feels guilty about it, so you chose him?"

"Yes. That's what I thought at the time."

At this time, Ling Xiyue's eyes had lost their light and she was very depressed.

For a moment, Ling Xiu didn't know how to comfort her.

Thinking about the future, she would have to have children with the eldest prince. She couldn't help but hold her face with both hands and muttered in pain: "I miscalculated this time. What should I do? Can I cancel the engagement?"

Ling Xiu, who had been watching Ling Xiyue, heard this and hurriedly reminded her, "Xiyue, the marriage is already decided. There is no chance to regret it. Unless you don't care about the lives of your family members."

Ling Xiyue heard this, put down her hands, and confirmed again, "Father, if I don't marry, His Majesty will punish the Ling family, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, that's right." Ling Xiu nodded heavily.

"Okay, I understand. I will marry you." Ling Xiyue had no choice but to compromise.

After saying that, Ling Xiyue no longer had the heart to talk, so she took her leave from Ling Xiu.

Ling Xiu looked at Ling Xiyue's lonely back and felt very sad, but he was helpless.

On the way back to her room, Ling Xiyue kept thinking about the eldest prince.

She muttered, "I was careless. I thought paralysis meant infertility. I didn't expect that he was only seriously injured in both knees. There was nothing wrong with other parts of his body. It was all my fault for not listening carefully. Now, what should I do? I only came here to complete the mission, not to have children. Oh my God. Someone come to save me."

"Hey, I can't back out, but the eldest prince can back out? How about I go and persuade him not to marry me?"

"No, his motive is too obvious, and he is not a fool. How about that? I do something that will damage his image, make him very disappointed in me, and then tell His Majesty that I won't marry me?"

"I think it's feasible. How about finding an opportunity to walk around him and attract his attention? Okay, let's do it right away."

As Ling Xiyue muttered to this, her mood gradually improved.

When she walked to the backyard, Ling Xiyue saw Ling Chuchen. It seemed that Ling Chuchen was waiting for her.

Ling Chuchen went to meet him first, and said jokingly as he walked over, "Congratulations, sister, you married the man of your dreams."

Ling Xiyue walked up to Ling Chuchen and stopped. She responded generously, "Of course, the eldest prince is handsome and is the eldest son of your majesty. He must be your ideal husband."

Ling Chuchen also stopped and said to Ling Xiyue with a half-smile: "Sister, I feel very comforted when you think this way. I feel very sorry and pitiful for you, such a beautiful girl, to have to accompany a person in a wheelchair."

"What do you want to express by saying this? Are you going to marry for me? Alas, what a pity that you don't even have the right to choose. You are the first one to be eliminated. Just think about it, you feel even more pitiful." Ling Xiyue scolded unceremoniously.

Ling Chuchen was furious on the spot. She stopped pretending and cursed directly: "It's all because of you that I lost face in front of the Queen Mother and the others, you vicious woman."

"Tsk, you always call me a vicious woman? You know who the vicious woman is." Ling Xiyue said angrily.

Ling Chuchen was furious and raised his hand, wanting to hit Ling Xiyue.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue glared at Ling Chuchen and shouted, "How dare you! I'm your eldest sister. If you dare to do that, I'll tell father and punish you according to the family rules."

Ling Chuchen was frightened by Ling Xiyue's momentum. She slowly put down her hand, and seeing that she couldn't do anything to Ling Xiyue, she could only snort and turned away.

Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Chuchen's back, snorted, and cursed in a low voice: "You think I'm a soft persimmon to be squeezed, but you are wrong. When it comes to quarreling, I am a modern person, and I can't even win against you, what a joke."

After Ling Xiyue returned to her boudoir, she began to think about how to make the eldest prince cancel the engagement on his own initiative.

After thinking about it for a day or two, Ling Xiyue came up with a solution.

But she is the eldest daughter of the Ling family and cannot come and go as she pleases. If she really wants to go out, she must get the old lady's consent.

But there is no legitimate reason to get the old lady's consent, it's simply unacceptable.

Ling Xiyue was troubled by this.

Just when she was at a loss, she thought of Ling Junqi.

So, after she found Ling Junqi, she told him her idea of ​​asking the eldest prince to cancel the engagement, hoping that Ling Junqi could help her with some advice.

After hearing this, Ling Junqi put forward his own ideas to Ling Xiyue.

"Xiyue, do you think the eldest prince is the kind of person who only looks at the surface? Do you think that if you put on a show in front of him, he will believe that you are an unstable person?"

Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, her eyes blinking.

Seeing that Ling Xiyue didn't respond, Ling Junqi continued his analysis.

"Do you know how long our country would have to fight with Beize if there was no eldest prince? The eldest prince is the most outstanding general of Nanyou, and he has sacrificed too much for Nanyou. A few days ago, he was attacked by villains because of jealousy of his military achievements, and his legs were injured. He was so unfortunate, but you didn't show sympathy, and instead wanted him to cancel the engagement. Do you think it's appropriate for you to do this?"

Ling Xiyue was left with no way to refute what was said and could only stare blankly at Ling Junqi.

"If you hadn't agreed at the beginning, the eldest prince probably wouldn't feel bad, because you are not the only one who voluntarily withdrew. But, you had already agreed that day, and now you regret it. Where is the eldest prince's face? Have you thought about these?" Ling Junqi said earnestly.

At this time, Ling Xiyue finally spoke.

"Brother, do you want me to accept the eldest prince?"

"Yes, not to mention his status and position, just looking at the character of the eldest prince, brother, I think there is no problem, you can really marry him." Ling Junqi nodded.

Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Junqi for a long time before she spoke.

"Brother, I want to ask, do you admire the eldest prince?"

"Yes, I have always admired the eldest prince and hoped to work by his side, but unfortunately I don't have the connection." Ling Junqi responded without hesitation.

But after saying this, he looked a little lonely.

"No connections? Does this require connections?" Ling Xiyue was very puzzled.

"Of course you need to. If no one recommends you, why would the eldest prince trust you? On what basis would he trust you?" Ling Junqi asked back.

Ling Xiyue finally understood the secret. Looking at Ling Junqi who admired the eldest prince so much, she couldn't help but think of the original owner.

I was thinking: The original owner gave me two tasks. One was to stop Ling Chuchen from marrying the eldest prince. This has been completed. The remaining task is to protect Ling Junqi and let him inherit the family business smoothly. Although the eldest prince can't walk upright, he is a prince after all, and he still has some prestige in the court. If Ling Junqi works beside the eldest prince, wouldn't his status be guaranteed?
