Chapter 159 Confirm that you like me
At the hour of Xu, He Tingxi went to Ling Xiyue's room to rest.
They started talking only after they lay down on the bed.
He Tingxi told Ling Xiyue that Jian Yeshen refused to accept the money and the date of his return.
After hearing this, Ling Xiyue sighed and said, "Divine Doctor Jian is so righteous. Nowadays, there are too few people like him who don't care about fame and fortune."
"Yes, no fame, wealth or honor can change his desire to live in seclusion." He Tingxi also sighed.
"I admire him for having such a high level, because many people can't do it." Ling Xiyue continued to praise.
He Tingxi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Don't mention Brother Jian, aren't you the same? How many women can be like you, so low-key and not extravagant, and still care about the world."
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Are you talking about me? Are you sure you are talking about me?"
"Of course." He Tingxi nodded with a smile.
"Why don't I feel that way?" Ling Xiyue couldn't believe it.
"Although you are already the Princess of Yan, you have never put on airs and have been very generous to everyone in the mansion. You always dress simply and plainly, and only dress up a little on important occasions. As for money, you have repeatedly advised me to save money for emergencies, didn't you?" He Tingxi said seriously.
Ling Xiyue watched He Tingxi's analysis and she herself was a little confused.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized that I'm this kind of person. It sounds like I'm really frugal."
"You are really frugal. I know that. If you were not frugal, how could a young lady like you save 500 taels of silver? Although you are frugal, you have a sense of justice. For the sake of Nanyou Kingdom, you can donate all your money." He Tingxi continued to praise.
Ling Xiyue felt guilty when she heard this, and muttered: This is the original owner's business, and has nothing to do with me. But to be honest, I admire the original owner's character, she is really righteous, and I am just a little similar to her in character, and I can't compare to the original owner in many ways. I am ashamed.
Seeing Ling Xiyue was silent and in deep thought, He Tingxi held her in his arms and laid down.
"Xiyue, I think my greatest achievement is marrying you. You are really my good wife." He Tingxi confessed affectionately.
"Good wife?" Ling Xiyue was stunned. She was a little unhappy with the word.
"Tingxi, I don't like this word. I always feel that when a man calls his wife a good wife, it means that he only likes her ability and ability to help him, rather than liking her as a person."
He Tingxi was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Is this how you understand it?" He Tingxi asked back.
"Of course, so, is this what you mean?" Ling Xiyue also asked back, eyes full of expectation.
"Of course there are more than that. I discovered these qualities of yours after getting along with you. In fact, I like you not entirely because of these qualities, but because when you saved me, you took my five taels of silver. From that moment on, I was deeply attracted to you. I was wondering, how could there be such a lovely girl in this world?"
As He Tingxi spoke, his eyes couldn't help but shine and a smile appeared on his face.
Ling Xiyue was overjoyed, her eyes were full of smiles, and she was muttering in her heart: Your Highness, he likes me, not the original owner. He is grateful to the original owner, but he likes me from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly, I felt so good.
He Tingxi looked down and saw Ling Xiyue smiling. He smiled and asked, "Xiyue, have I explained this clearly?"
"Well, it's explained clearly. Tingxi is just smart." Ling Xiyue nodded with a smile.
"Well, what's the reward?" He Tingxi decided to tease Ling Xiyue.
"Reward? What reward do you want?" Ling Xiyue asked according to He Tingxi's meaning.
"I need to think about it carefully." He Tingxi looked thoughtful.
After a long while, He Tingxi finally spoke with a sly smile on his face. Then, he whispered in Ling Xiyue's ear, "After you give birth to the baby and recover, let's try everything according to the contents of the picture book, how about it?"
As soon as the words fell, Ling Xiyue immediately understood what He Tingxi meant. Thinking of being intimate with He Tingxi, her face turned red all the way to her ears.
Seeing Ling Xiyue’s blushing face, He Tingxi instantly understood Ling Xiyue’s thoughts.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." He Tingxi promised.
Looking at He Tingxi's "solemn" look, Ling Xiyue turned sideways with her back to He Tingxi.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to sleep."
Seeing this, He Tingxi raised his eyebrows, but still had a smile on his face.
"Okay, go to sleep, don't get too tired."
After saying that, he lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Ling Xiyue deliberately kept silent and pretended to be asleep.
But she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
I thought: What should I do? I'm actually looking forward to it. I originally thought that I would retreat after giving birth to the child, but later because of Ling Junqi's marriage, I delayed my return. Logically, I can still have intimate behavior with His Highness, but if we are always together and I get pregnant again, what should I do? Do I have to give birth to the child? In that case, won't I be unable to leave? No, let's think about it seriously.
next day
imperial study room
When He Tingxi saw the emperor, he first performed a half-kneeling ceremony.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."
"Tingxi, you've come at the right time. I have something to ask you." The emperor put down the memorial in his hand with a serious expression.
After He Tingxi stood up, he looked at the emperor's expression and felt uneasy. He asked, "What's the matter, father?"
"Yesterday, Jing Cheng came to me and said that he wanted to do something for you. He planned to send someone to escort Doctor Jian back to his hometown. What do you think?" asked the emperor.
When He Tingxi heard that it was about He Jingcheng, he felt relieved. He thought it was some other big deal.
"Your Majesty, I appreciate my second brother's kindness. I was the one who invited Doctor Jian, so it would be better for my people to escort him back. It would be inconvenient with my second brother's people around." He Tingxi responded.
"Well, that makes sense. Doctor Jian likes to keep a low profile. If Jing Cheng's people are involved, it will definitely attract more attention. So, let your people be in charge." The emperor nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, father." He Tingxi was overjoyed.
"Did Doctor Jian say when he would return?" asked the emperor.
"It has been decided. We will set off at noon the day after tomorrow." He Tingxi responded.
"The day after tomorrow, so soon?" The emperor was a little surprised, and there was some reluctance in his words.
"Yes." He Tingxi nodded and didn't say much.
The emperor looked at He Tingxi and was silent for a while before he said, "Tingxi, today is too busy. Tomorrow at noon, you bring Doctor Jian to the Yangxin Palace for dinner. I want to see him off. I know he doesn't like crowds, so this time, it's just the three of us."
He Tingxi was stunned. Although he was confused, he still nodded. "Yes, I obey your order."
"Well, do you have anything else to do?" asked the emperor.
