Chapter 202 Willing to Compromise
When Ling Xiyue saw Ling Junqi wanted to speak, she pointed at the portrait number two and said meaningfully, "Brother, this girl is pretty, isn't she?"
Ling Junqi was stunned and stared at Ling Xiyue. Seeing that there was a hint of mystery in Ling Xiyue's eyes, he instantly had a premonition.
After recovering from his shock, he subconsciously looked at He Tingxi, wanting to know He Tingxi's reaction.
Hearing this, He Tingxi glanced at Ling Xiyue from the side and smiled helplessly. Then, he turned to look at Ling Junqi, and their eyes met.
Ling Junqi suddenly felt embarrassed. He hurriedly lowered his eyes and looked at the portrait.
Seeing this, He Tingxi just smiled faintly. He also imitated Ling Xiyue. He pointed at the portrait number three and said softly: "Junqi, this girl is not bad. She looks gentle at first glance."
When Ling Junqi heard the voice, he instantly lost his composure.
He had already guessed what Ling Xiyue and He Tingxi were thinking, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
He could only continue to look down at the portrait, pretending to continue studying it.
When Ling Xiyue saw that He Tingxi was also following her example to hint at Ling Junqi, she was speechless for a moment, but she couldn't say much.
She had no choice but to look at Ling Junqi. Seeing Ling Junqi lowering his head and remaining silent, she quickly understood Ling Junqi's thoughts. After thinking about it for a while, she came up with a new idea.
"Brother, if you choose a girl who is smart, intelligent and sensible, it will be very comfortable to get along with her in the future. Believe me, you won't go wrong. Don't just focus on appearance, because appearance will change, but temperament will not." Ling Xiyue specifically reminded.
Ling Junqi was stunned when he heard that. He raised his head slightly and looked at Ling Xiyue, only to see Ling Xiyue smiling. He was in a dilemma.
Seeing Ling Junqi looking over, Ling Xiyue turned her head to look at He Tingxi and said in a gentle tone: "Your Highness, is this true?"
He Tingxi was stunned. He vaguely felt that Ling Xiyue was setting a trap for him, but he still nodded in response.
"That's right..."
At this point, Ling Xiyue immediately continued: "Brother, you see, His Highness agrees with this point of view. I believe that His Highness also chose me with this mentality. Now, His Highness and I get along so well, all because of His Highness's wise choice at the time."
Ling Xiyue kept looking at Ling Junqi while she was speaking. After she finished speaking, she shifted her gaze to He Tingxi with a smile in her eyes.
"So, I am very grateful to Your Highness for your wisdom."
He Tingxi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he stared at Ling Xiyue.
Ling Junqi was stunned for a moment, then looked at He Tingxi. Seeing He Tingxi standing there in a daze, he pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
After a while, He Tingxi came to his senses and shook his head helplessly.
But the look he gave Ling Xiyue was still gentle.
"Junqi, girl number two is really good." He Tingxi compromised. He turned his gaze to Ling Junqi and suggested.
When Ling Junqi heard this, he instantly understood what He Tingxi meant. He habitually looked at Ling Xiyue, wanting to see Ling Xiyue's attitude.
When Ling Xiyue saw Ling Junqi looking at her, she nodded slightly.
Ling Junqi immediately understood what he meant.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, actually, the one I wanted to choose just now was Miss No. 2. Miss No. 2 is very much to my liking." Ling Junqi said respectfully.
After getting the exact answer, Ling Xiyue immediately had a smile on her face.
He Tingxi first looked at Ling Xiyue. Seeing Ling Xiyue's smiling face, he smiled slightly, and then looked at Ling Junqi.
"Okay, after you've made your selection, I'll arrange for you to meet. If you both have no objections, we can discuss the marriage arrangements." He suggested.
"Yes, I will follow your instructions, Your Highness." Ling Junqi nodded.
"It's nothing, Junqi, you can go back first."
"Yes."
Ling Junqi bowed to He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue and left the study.
After seeing Ling Junqi leave, He Tingxi turned his gaze to Ling Xiyue.
"Xiyue, you are so cunning. I really can't refute what you said." He Tingxi said with a doting look on his face.
Seeing this, Ling Xiyue smiled mischievously and defended herself: "Tingxi, I am just telling the truth. It is from the heart. Why do you say that to me?"
Faced with Ling Xiyue's "sophistry", He Tingxi didn't care and wasn't angry. He touched Ling Xiyue's head with his hand, his eyes full of tenderness.
"It seems that you really want me to agree to your unreasonable request."
When Ling Xiyue saw He Tingxi looking at her so "affectionately", she suddenly felt a little guilty. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look He Tingxi in the eye.
Seeing Ling Xiyue lowering her head and remaining silent, He Tingxi's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Xiyue, as long as you can stay by my side forever, I will agree to any request you make, no matter how unreasonable it is."
Ling Xiyue was startled, and in order to hide her guilty conscience, she had to force a smile.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Haven't I always been by your side?"
He Tingxi just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
Seeing this, Ling Xiyue looked outside deliberately.
"Your Highness, I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room first."
"Okay." He Tingxi agreed readily. He stood up and helped Ling Xiyue up.
"You go back to your room first. I'll go over after I finish dealing with Junqi's matter." He Tingxi said gently.
"Yeah." Ling Xiyue nodded obediently.
Then, He Tingxi shouted outside: "Xiaoyin, come in."
"Yes."
Xiaoyin, who was waiting outside the study, responded, went into the study, supported Ling Xiyue, and went back to the room.
He Tingxi sat down only after seeing Ling Xiyue leave.
Looking at the pile of portraits in front of him and thinking about what had just happened, he couldn't help but smile.
"Xiyue, you really took great pains to get Ling Junqi to choose number two. She is indeed quite capable. I really can't refuse this idea. However, I am still very curious about what unreasonable request she is going to make of me?"
As he muttered this, his face gradually darkened.
"She doesn't want to leave me, does she?"
At this moment, He Tingxi panicked.
After a long silence, He Tingxi ordered someone to notify the family of girl number two and arrange a meeting with Ling Junqi.
With Xiaoyin's support, Ling Xiyue slowly walked towards her own yard.
On the way, Ling Xiyue thought about the conversation with He Tingxi just now. She thought to herself: I always feel that His Highness has seen through my mind. He said that as long as I stay with him, he can ask for anything. But, what I call unreasonable request is to leave him. Alas, it seems that I can only use the excuse of difficult labor to leave. Otherwise, no matter what excuse I find, he will see through it. He is too meticulous. How can I have a difficult labor?
Ling Xiyue couldn't help but ponder it.
Xiaoyin, who was accompanying her, saw that Ling Xiyue was frowning all the time, so she asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong? Didn't you handle the eldest master's affairs?"
Hearing the voice, Ling Xiyue slowly came to her senses. She looked at Xiaoyin and forced a smile.
"Nothing, my brother has already chosen a girl, and is waiting for His Highness to make the arrangements."
"Then, why is your Majesty frowning?" Xiaoyin continued to ask.
Ling Xiyue was stunned, and she hurriedly tried to find another topic.
"Oh, I was just thinking about giving birth. How can I have a smooth birth without any accidents?"
