Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 345: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Respecting Novel (End)
Emperor Li looked at Lin Xi, who was kneeling on the ground with a dejected look on her face, and suddenly he remembered the phrase "pure in heart and few in desires" that he had used when he scolded her just now, and a rare sense of guilt arose in his heart.
This, this can't be done, isn't it just pure heart and few desires, no desires and no demands? But he took a knife and stabbed people's hearts. What's the difference between this behavior and those vulgar people who curse people to have no daughters and no descendants.
Emperor Li reflected silently in his heart, then sighed, waved his hand, and asked Lin Xi to stand up and take a seat.
"In that case, I am sorry for you. You have done a lot of work for me without caring about your own life over the years. I have seen it all."
"Look at all the girls of your age in the capital. All of them have already married and have husbands by their side, but you are so cold. I have introduced many good men to you before, but you rejected them all. Now I think it is because of this reason."
"Lianqing, thank you for your hard work over the years." Emperor Li sighed, and his attitude had completely softened.
"Sharing your Majesty's worries is the duty of a minister. Moreover, your Majesty has redressed my mother's crime and shown me kindness. I cannot repay your Majesty's kindness even if I die a thousand times. I do not feel the hardship." Lin Xi bowed, his face full of gratitude.
Emperor Li was satisfied when he heard this, but frowned slightly, waved his hand and said in a carefree manner: "There is no need for this between you and me, the king and his subject."
Lin Xi complimented him again politely, and Emperor Li then brought the conversation back to the previous topic.
"But speaking of the eldest son of the Changsun family, he is indeed a dignified and generous child. It's a pity that the third son is a scoundrel who favors his concubine and even divorces him. It really makes me angry!"
Emperor Li could scold his daughter, but Lin Xi could not follow him. She could only lower her head and pretend to say good things about Wanqi Changge, advising Emperor Li to be more open-minded.
"There is no precedent for the royal family to remarry a man who has abandoned him. But in the end, it is still me and the third brother who have let him down. If he can really marry you, it can be regarded as me redeeming some of the sins of the third brother. However..."
Emperor Li glanced at Lin Xi inconspicuously when he said this, and then continued: "With your physical condition and your cold attitude, I am afraid that even if I agree to your request, the child may not agree. I have already created a pair of resentful lovers, and I don't want to see the same mistake again."
"I naturally do not want to embarrass Your Majesty. I am willing to go to the Changsun Mansion to ask for marriage in person. If you get the approval of the Changsun Lord, I will go to the palace to ask Your Majesty to grant me the marriage. If the Lord does not agree..."
Lin Xi closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, "Then I will forget this thought forever and never mention it again. But I ask Your Majesty not to mention the fact that I am disabled..."
"nature……"
After the recollection ended, Emperor Li looked at Lin Xi, who was sitting under the seat with a somewhat nervous expression. Although there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, he no longer had the fear and suspicion of the past.
After all, Lin Xi's inhumane secret is still in her hands. Compared to the previous person who was so perfect that no one could find any fault with him, it is more reassuring to use someone who has the handle in hand.
But thinking of this, Li Di suddenly felt a little evil in his heart. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "You are not feeling well, so last night..."
Lin Xi cursed him inwardly for being shameless, but pretended to be blushing as she rarely lost her composure. She stammered, "Ahem, ahem, late last night, I drank too much and was helped back to my room."
A hint of understanding flashed across Emperor Li's eyes. He covered his lips and regained his serious look, like an elder giving advice. He sighed earnestly, "Keeping it a secret is not a solution after all. Now that the matter is done, he will have to know the inside story sooner or later."
Lin Xi was about to agree when suddenly a palace maid's message came from outside the palace gate.
"The Crown Princess has arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, before Emperor Li could nod, a tall woman in a bright yellow brocade robe, with a beautiful figure and elegant demeanor, appeared outside the palace gate.
"Your son greets the Queen Mother!"
"Changqing, come in."
Emperor Li saw that his eldest daughter, who had always been frail, looked so rosy and energetic as today. The displeasure he had felt because she had barged in without prior notice immediately disappeared, and he nodded for her to come in.
"What are you doing in the palace now?" Emperor Li asked casually while asking someone to prepare a seat for Wanqi Changqing.
"Mother, the Queen is so happy!" Changsun Changqing has always been dignified and calm, and rarely shows such joy. The congratulations that came out of his mouth immediately aroused Emperor Li's curiosity.
"Where does joy come from?"
"Mother Queen, today in my son's backyard, both the principal and the concubine Chen were diagnosed with pregnancy pulses, and they have been pregnant for more than two months!"
……
As the Crown Princess went to Fengjun Palace to announce the good news, Lin Xi had a smile on her face and expressed her congratulations to Wanqi Changqing in a sincere tone.
"The princess is blessed with great fortune. Now she is in good health and has someone to succeed her. This is a blessing for the country and the nation."
Wanqi Changqing was over thirty years old, with a calm temperament and proper manners. After hearing this, he showed an elegant and gentle smile on his face and spoke in a friendly manner.
"Thanks to Lord Lin for the medicine, I feel less heavy now and feel a lot lighter. I thought it was a blessing from God, but I never thought I would get such an unexpected surprise. Lian Qing has been so kind, I really don't know how to repay him."
Hearing the change in the way she addressed herself, Lin Xi curled the corners of her lips imperceptibly, but her expression remained indifferent.
"Your Highness's good health is a blessing to the country. I dare not take credit for it. As for the medicine, I got it by chance. The whole world belongs to the king. It originally belonged to Your Highness. How can I say it was a gift?"
Her tone was normal, as if she was just chatting with Wanqi Changqing, but Wanqi Changqing understood the deep meaning in her words. He was stunned for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he said naturally: "Then I will borrow Lian Qingji's words."
On the carriage back home, Lin Xi hugged the dumbfounded Changsun Yan into her arms, fearing that he would get angry and ignore her again.
Chang Sun Yan was stunned for a long while before he barely sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He should have been scared of this man's deep thoughts, but contrary to his usual behavior, he did not get angry. Instead, he stared at Lin Xi for a long while and then asked the most crucial question.
"Are you really inhumane?"
Lin Xi was nervous for a long time, thinking that this man would definitely come to hold her accountable, so when she heard Changsun Yan speak, she took a while to react, and she subconsciously surrendered as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I promise I won't hide anything from you again... Okay?"
"Can I be humane? Isn't Runshi the one who knows best? It seems that I didn't work hard enough last night, which is why my husband asked me this question——"
"Just talk if you want to. Why are you putting your face close to me... Ugh!"
Outside the carriage, Huaiyun listened to the ambiguous sounds rising inside the car, and couldn't help but click his tongue, and silently slowed down the speed.
It seems that in the early spring of next year, she will be able to meet the young man her father had told her about.
