Chapter 138 Helping to plan the wedding
He Jingcheng and Fang Di both lowered their heads in thought.
After a while, Fang Di suddenly had an idea.
"Your Highness, around March, His Highness the Prince of Yan will be able to walk. His Majesty has always loved His Highness the Prince of Yan and will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate for His Highness the Prince of Yan. As a great contributor, Divine Doctor Jian will definitely attend. On that day, Your Highness can bring Madam Su Mei there and ask Divine Doctor Jian to treat Madam Su Mei in front of His Majesty and the others. In that case, Divine Doctor Jian should not be able to refuse, right?"
He Jingcheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled at Fang Di and praised him, "This method is feasible. You have become smarter. Not bad, there is a reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Fang Di immediately smiled.
"Okay, let's do it your way." He Jingcheng nodded.
……
After Ling Junqi returned to the Ling Mansion, he told Ling Xiu about He Tingxi walking with a cane, but he didn't tell anyone else.
Ling Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he told Ling Junqi to work hard beside He Tingxi, saying that he would definitely have a bright future.
Ling Xiu did not tell Madam He and Ling Chuchen about this matter.
Two days later, the people Shi Hui sent to Prince Lu's Mansion came back. They told Shi Hui what they had found out. Shi Hui immediately went to the study to report to He Tingxi.
Coincidentally, Ling Junqi was also there. He was sitting at another table. When he saw Shi Hui come in, he put down the work in his hands, stood up and faced Shi Hui.
"Brother Shi."
Shi Hui nodded to Ling Junqi.
Only then did Ling Junqi sit down.
Then, Shi Hui walked to He Tingxi's desk and bowed first.
"Your Highness."
"Is there something?" He Tingxi stopped what he was doing and asked.
"The people sent to Prince Lu's Palace have returned." Shi Hui responded.
"What did He Jingcheng do?" He Tingxi asked anxiously.
"The people sent said that they observed for a day or two, but did not see Prince Lu enter the palace, and they did not send anyone out." Shi Hui said truthfully.
"Oh, so He Jingcheng has given up investigating my leg disease. It seems that using crutches is still of some use." He Tingxi said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness is wise." Shi Hui praised.
"What has he done in the mansion in the past two or three days?" He Tingxi asked curiously.
"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Lu is working in the mansion and goes to Chunhe Courtyard in his free time, but he does not stay overnight in Chunhe Courtyard, nor does he go to Princess Lu's place." Shi Hui responded.
"He Jingcheng still can't stop going to Sumei." He Tingxi sighed.
"Well, I heard that sometimes, he goes there two or three times a day." Shi Hui responded immediately.
He Tingxi was stunned, then smiled helplessly and said nothing more.
Shi Hui's reaction made Ling Junqi feel confused, but he did not ask, just listened quietly.
After a while, He Tingxi changed the subject and looked at Ling Junqi.
"Junqi, February 20th is Xiyue's birthday. Xiyue said that she doesn't want to have a big celebration, just a family meal together. I promised Xiyue, so on that day, you can bring the people from the Ling Mansion to the Prince of Yan's Mansion for a gathering."
"Your Highness, where are Madam He, Chu Chen and my two younger brothers? Are they coming too?" Ling Junqi asked cautiously.
"Of course, they are also from the Ling Mansion, so they must come. If they don't come, won't people gossip about them?" He Tingxi responded with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness is right." Ling Junqi smiled awkwardly.
"This is just an ordinary dinner. You don't need to bring gifts. Xiyue said that we should focus on saving, okay?" He Tingxi did not forget to explain.
"But, isn't this a bad idea?" Ling Junqi was a little embarrassed.
"You should follow Xiyue's wishes. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite." He Tingxi instructed.
"Yes, I understand." Ling Junqi did not insist any more.
Seeing this, He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction, and then he looked at Shi Hui.
"Shihui, the 26th is your big day. I have already asked Butler Xiao to arrange your wedding. If you have any suggestions, you have to discuss it with Butler Xiao in advance, understand?"
When Shi Hui heard about his marriage, a smile appeared on his face and he was very excited.
"Can I ask for anything?"
"Of course, everything will be done according to your wishes. It's up to you." He Tingxi agreed readily.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will have to discuss this with Butler Xiao." Shi Hui said with a smile.
"If you have an idea now, you can discuss it now. It happens that you have nothing to do today." He Tingxi advised.
"Then I'll go over there." Shi Hui couldn't wait any longer.
"Go."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." After Shi Hui bowed, he hurried out of the study.
Ling Junqi had been watching the interaction between He Tingxi and Shi Hui, and was extremely envious of He Tingxi's "doting" on Shi Hui.
He watched Shi Hui leave the study and did not take his eyes off him for a long time.
He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi, and from Ling Junqi's eyes, he quickly realized what Ling Junqi was thinking.
"Junqi, what's wrong? Shi Hui has already left, why are you still looking outside?" He Tingxi asked deliberately.
Ling Junqi came to his senses when he heard the voice, and looked at He Tingxi with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"Brother Shi is really happy." Ling Junqi said with emotion.
He Tingxi instantly understood what Ling Junqi meant. He smiled and said, "I heard, Junqi, your wedding is also scheduled for this year, right?"
When he heard about his marriage, Ling Junqi instantly became excited and nodded quickly.
"Yes, but the specific date has not been decided yet."
"Why hasn't it been decided yet?" He Tingxi was very curious.
"It's because the girl I'm engaged to is still young, and her parents don't want her to get married too early, so they postponed it to this year," Ling Junqi explained.
"Are you still young? How old are you this year?" He Tingxi asked.
"You won't be sixteen until June," Ling Junqi responded.
"Oh, only sixteen?" He Tingxi sighed, and after a pause, he thought of himself and Ling Xiyue, and smiled.
"It's not a problem. Xiyue and I are five years apart in age. You are only four years apart."
"Yes, so, I think we should at least wait until she is sixteen years old." Ling Junqi nodded in response.
"Well, it's indeed not good to do it too early. If you get pregnant too early while you're still growing, there will still be some risks when giving birth." He Tingxi agreed with Ling Junqi's approach.
"Yes, so the wedding can only be scheduled in the second half of the year." Ling Junqi nodded.
"The second half of the year is also good. By then Xiyue will have given birth to the baby and will be out of confinement. She can help plan your wedding, isn't that great?" He Tingxi was in a good mood when he thought that Ling Xiyue could be involved.
"Your Majesty is here to plan this?" Ling Junqi seemed to sense something and was secretly delighted.
"You don't want to?" He Tingxi asked deliberately.
When Ling Junqi heard this, he panicked and shook his head quickly.
"Your Highness has misunderstood. How could I not be willing? I would love nothing more than to do so. It is my honor that Your Majesty is here to help."
