Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 84 World 2: The Cold Emperor and the Spoiled Concubine (31)

After hearing Bai Lingxi's question, Zhou Jin lowered his eyes so that Bai Lingxi and no one else in the hall could see his eyes suddenly turn red.

Zhou Jin's nose was sour and his heart was bitter, but he tried his best to calm himself down. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Your Highness, you may not remember that when I first entered the palace, I made a mistake and was almost beaten to death by the chief eunuch. It was your kindness that helped me to say good things and saved my life."

Li Lin listened and realized that it might have happened during the reign of the previous emperor, because since Zhou Changling entered the palace, Bai Lingxi had hardly ever left Qianling Palace again, so it was impossible for her to save any young eunuch.

Afraid that the young eunuch would say too much and arouse Bai Lingxi's curiosity and exploration of the past, Li Lin planned to drive him away. Besides, Zhou Changling was about to leave the court, and if he saw these two people, he would inevitably become angry.

Li Lin didn't wait for Bai Lingxi to continue speaking, and rushed to say: "Madam, you just got up, the breakfast is warming up in the small kitchen, and the dishes are already prepared in the imperial kitchen. Do you want to serve the food?"

Li Lin's words really attracted Bai Lingxi's attention and interrupted what Bai Lingxi was about to say. Her big watery eyes blinked with anticipation, making her look like a greedy cat, which made Zhou Jin's heart beat fast.

Bai Lingxi's voice was much happier than before: "Serve the food."

Zhou Jin secretly watched Bai Lingxi's greedy appearance and found it funny. At the same time, the pain and depression that had been lingering in his heart were alleviated a lot. He knew that Bai Lingxi had never suffered and her personality was still so natural and lively.

Zhou Jin had so many things to say to Bai Lingxi, such as how was she doing? How was her health? How was the little prince? Did he know that he had soul separation syndrome? Her husband was still alive! However, all the words he wanted to say were reduced to one sentence: "I wish your Majesty good health and a long life."

Bai Lingxi nodded and let them go. Having breakfast was the most important thing. Although she felt inexplicably closer to the little eunuch, she was still very hungry and her stomach was almost unable to bear it.

What Bai Lingxi didn't know was that because the scales that nourished her body sensed Zhou Jin's approach, the speed of repairing Bai Lingxi's body was greatly accelerated, so her face looked much rosier than before.

The maids were serving Bai Lingxi breakfast. Just as they were enjoying their breakfast, Li Lin's voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"

At this time, Zhou Jin and the others had already returned to the servants' room at Luanxi Pavilion and did not run into Zhou Changling.

Zhou Changling was in a hurry. He had been uneasy since he attended the morning court, always worried that something might go wrong. So when he saw nothing important, he hurried back. It was not until he saw the living Bai Lingxi that he finally felt relieved.

Only after seeing her husband did Bai Lingxi reluctantly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. She wanted to greet him, but Zhou Changling was frightened. He quickly took two steps at a time and held down Bai Lingxi who wanted to get up.

The palace servant brought a stool to Zhou Changling. Zhou Changling sat down and asked, "Xi'er, how do you feel?"

Bai Lingxi frowned, which frightened Zhou Changling. He was afraid that Bai Lingxi was unwell, but he didn't expect the next sentence to comfort Zhou Changling: "It's okay, just a little weak when I woke up in the morning, but it's much better now."

After Bai Lingxi finished speaking, she continued to eat her breakfast heartlessly. Zhou Changling looked at the lively Bai Lingxi and suddenly he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if something was quietly changing.

Bai Lingxi used it sweetly, and Zhou Changling gradually put aside his worries. This was good, this was good. He really didn't want to experience the pain of losing Bai Lingxi again.

Besides, thinking about the imperial edict to confer the title of empress, Zhou Changling had already announced the decree in the court and ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter. As for whether the Bai family would have doubts or whether they had the courage to question it, this was not Zhou Changling's concern.

After Bai Lingxi finished her breakfast, Zhou Changling told her about this.

Bai Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief, because in the days after she lost her memory, Bai Lingxi had gradually gained common sense and knew that Zhou Changling was the emperor of the entire dynasty and possessed supreme power.

Zhou Changling could even have many concubines, three palaces and six courtyards, and he could choose beautiful women from among them. She had once been angry with him because of this.

Now hearing the news, Bai Lingxi felt an inexplicable pressure. At the same time, it was impossible for her to say that she was not happy at all. But while she felt happy in her heart, for some reason, there was a faint sadness.

Zhou Changling ordered the servants to clear away the food and took Bai Lingxi into his arms: "I wanted to do this a long time ago, but you were pregnant with our prince at the time and your body was heavy, so it was not convenient after all."

"Now that I have the chance, of course I want you to be my queen."

"Xi'er, I don't want to wait any longer. You are the only one who can be my queen!"

Bai Lingxi understood the deep affection and persistence in Zhou Changling's eyes, and felt warm in her heart, as if a warm current was flowing through her heart. She nodded slightly, as if accepting the order.

------

On the way to Luanxi Pavilion, Zhou Jin followed behind Li Mu and accidentally heard two little palace maids talking in the corner. He was quite sensitive, so he slowed down his pace and tried to eavesdrop.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? The emperor is going to crown a queen!"

"Ah, where did the news come from?"

"Don't worry about it, just watch."

"Which girl will the emperor confer the title of empress? It is such a great blessing. This is the position of empress, the most noble woman in the world!"

The little palace maid's voice was a little excited. It could be seen that she had just entered the palace not long ago. Her voice and tone were still very lively. After all, how could someone who had stayed in the palace for a long time maintain such a pure temperament?

Of course, in addition to Bai Lingxi, the most beloved woman of two generations of emperors, she can naturally be protected and remain innocent.

Zhou Jin frowned tightly, then relaxed his brows as if he had thought of something. No matter what, it was a good thing for him that Zhou Changling made another woman his queen.

Zhou Jin knew clearly that Bai Lingxi was a very proud person. If she realized that he was not devoted to her, she would withdraw her love for him.

He knew at the beginning that Bai Lingxi stayed with him for the sake of the Bai family, but fortunately, his sincere efforts were not in vain, and Bai Lingxi really opened her heart to him.

Now that Zhou Changling is going to be crowned as queen, Zhou Jin subconsciously ignores the possibility of Bai Lingxi being crowned as queen. After all, Bai Lingxi is nominally a concubine dowager. Does crowning her as queen mean that her identity will be made public?

Secondly, Zhou Changling and the Bai family had a blood feud. His mother's death was indeed closely related to the Bai family. Could he put aside his hatred and serve him as the father-in-law of the emperor?
