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

"Butler Xiao, His Highness has instructed you to prepare hot water for Miss Sumei to bathe and change clothes, and then place her in Lichunyuan. Your Highness, he will come over when he is ready." Shi Hui ordered.

Butler Xiao was stunned for a moment, very confused, but he still nodded in response.

"Okay, I understand."

"Well, Miss Sumei will be left to you."

"Master Shi, don't worry."

Shi Hui then turned and left.

"Miss Sumei, please come this way." Butler Xiao looked respectful and motioned Sumei to go to the bathroom.

"Thank you, Butler Xiao."

Su Mei followed behind Butler Xiao. She kept looking around, admiring the scenery in the mansion with a smile on her face.

After Shi Hui settled Su Mei down, he went to the study and reported the results to He Tingxi.

After entering the study, Shi Hui closed the door out of habit.

He Tingxi, who was sitting at the desk, saw Shi Hui and immediately asked, "Shi Hui, have you arranged everything?"

"Everything has been arranged." Shi Hui replied.

"Well, very good." He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction.

Shi Hui stared at He Tingxi, waiting for He Tingxi to speak again, but after waiting for a long time, He Tingxi didn't say anything.

He finally couldn't help but speak, his face was serious, "Your Highness, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

He Tingxi looked at Shi Hui's serious expression, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded.

"Just say it."

Shi Hui took a deep breath and then mustered up his courage.

"Your Highness, Miss Su Mei is indeed a beauty, with a very charming appearance and figure. Your Highness, it is normal for you to like her. However, she is very likely a spy sent by His Highness the Second Prince, so please think twice."

After Shi Hui finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly, afraid that He Tingxi would blame him, and did not dare to look He Tingxi in the eye.

He Tingxi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

When Shi Hui heard the laughter, he looked up suddenly, very confused.

"Your Highness, why are you laughing?"

"How could I not know He Jingcheng's intention?" He Tingxi said with a smile.

"Then why did Your Highness take Su Mei as a concubine? Your Highness, aren't you worried that the Queen will be jealous?" Shi Hui asked.

When He Tingxi heard Shi Hui talking about Ling Xiyue, his face gradually darkened and he smiled bitterly.

"It was because I saw that she had no reaction that I took Sumaina as my concubine."

Shi Hui was stunned and didn't react, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? If Xiyue really cared about me, she should be angry and stop me, but she didn't react at all in the face of all this." After He Tingxi said this, he actually felt a little heartbroken.

"Well, is it possible that the Queen is an open-minded person, and she acquiesced thinking that His Highness likes it." Shi Hui defended Ling Xiyue.

"Really? Then let's try it tonight? See if she is really so open-minded?" He Tingxi had already started plotting something in his mind, he said lightly.

"Try it? Your Highness means that you just want to test it, not that you really want to be with Miss Sumei..." Shi Hui asked curiously.

He Tingxi sneered when he heard this.

"With Su Mei? Is this woman worthy? If He Jingcheng could arrange someone to be by my side, he must have had his hands in her. If he is not sure about Su Mei's ability, how can he be confident in sending her to my side?"

Shi Hui was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly realized something, and was immediately a little disappointed.

"That's a pity. Actually, Miss Sumei is quite good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Tingxi suddenly looked up at Shi Hui and asked tentatively: "Shi Hui, you are not that person anymore, right?"

"Uh--"

After Shi Hui hesitated for a while, he boldly said truthfully: "In fact, I was thinking before, if Your Highness doesn't want it, I wonder if you can give it to me? But just now I heard Your Highness say that the Second Prince has already got his hands on it, and I immediately lost interest. After thinking about it, let's just forget it, shall we?"

Shi Hui's words left He Tingxi stunned for a long time. He never thought that Shi Hui had such an idea.

After coming to his senses, He Tingxi sighed slightly, his face full of apology.

"Shi Hui, you have been with me for many years, and I have been busy with my own affairs and neglected your lifelong event. Think about it, you are almost twenty-one, it is time to start a family."

Shi Hui was instantly overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you going to help me find a suitable girl?"

"Tell me, which one do you like?" He Tingxi asked curiously.

"Well, I won't be polite. I like girls with the appearance of Miss Su Mei, and whose character should be half as good as the Empress'." Shi Hui directly expressed his thoughts.

He Tingxi was stunned at first when he heard this, then he pointed at Shi Hui and smiled slightly.

"You, boy, this is a good style."

Shi Hui understood what He Tingxi meant, and he smiled knowingly, "My subordinates are rather vulgar."

He Tingxi smiled helplessly, but did not blame him. "Your preference is normal and cannot be called vulgar. Okay, I will help you find it according to your request."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shi Hui half-knelt on the ground excitedly and saluted.

"Get up, there's no need to be so polite between us." He Tingxi gestured to Shi Hui to get up.

Shi Hui then stood up with satisfaction.

At this time, he thought of Su Mei and asked, "Your Highness, are we going directly to Lichunyuan tonight? Do you want to inform the Queen?"

When He Tingxi thought about this, an intriguing expression appeared on his face.

"Later, send someone to inform her that I will go to Lichunyuan at 10 p.m. and stay there overnight so she doesn't have to wait for me." He Tingxi ordered.

Shi Hui understood what He Tingxi meant in an instant, and he immediately responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

"Also, notify the guards of Lichunyuan that as long as Xiyue goes to Lichunyuan, don't stop her anywhere and there's no need to pass on the message." He Tingxi continued to give instructions.

Shi Hui heard this and pursed his lips to suppress a smile, "Yes, I will take my leave."

"Well, go ahead." He Tingxi nodded.

Seeing Shi Hui retreat, He Tingxi couldn't help but sigh.

He muttered, "Xiyue, do you really not care about me at all? You gave yourself to me, but I can't see your heart? If you really have me in your heart, you should be very angry when you see me taking a concubine. Why don't you react at all? Don't I have a place in your heart? Tonight, let's see your heart."

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said in fear: "What if she doesn't come? What should I do?"

He Tingxi couldn't help but worry and suddenly felt unsure.

……

After Shi Hui left the study, he found Butler Xiao and asked him to convey He Tingxi's instructions to Ling Xiyue, while he himself went to give instructions to the guards of Lichunyuan.

After receiving it, Butler Xiao went to Ling Xiyue's yard.

He stopped in front of the door and saw Ling Xiyue and Xiaoyin walking out of the room. Butler Xiao bowed first.

"Your Highness, His Highness has something to say."

"Your Highness has something to say? What?" Ling Xiyue was very curious.

"His Highness said that he will go to Lichunyuan at 10:00 p.m. tonight and stay overnight there, so Your Majesty doesn't need to wait for him." Butler Xiao said truthfully.
