Chapter 126 I can't sleep well without you
"Jingcheng, this time, Queen Mother will let Sumei go because Xiaowan is pregnant. If I hear of something like this happening again, Queen Mother will definitely beat Sumei to death immediately and will never give you a chance to stop me."
The Queen frowned and warned seriously.
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, mother." He Jingcheng assured.
"Well, you should go to your royal grandmother now and explain everything to her. Also, tell your father about Xiaowan's pregnancy." The queen ordered.
"Yes."
After He Jingcheng took his leave, he and Fang Di went to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
On the way, Fang Di asked with concern: "Your Highness, what is the Queen's attitude towards Madam Sumei's matter?"
He Jingcheng took a deep breath after hearing this. "After the Queen Mother learned that Xiaowan was pregnant, her anger subsided a lot. After my soft persuasion, she let Sumei go. She just asked me to write a letter of guarantee, promising not to be unrestrained in the future."
Fang Di was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "In fact, the Queen still feels sorry for Your Highness."
"Yes, I know this." He Jingcheng thought of the Queen's performance just now, he nodded with a serious expression.
After a while, He Jingcheng continued, "This time, the Su Mei incident was caused by He Tingxi stabbing her in the back. I didn't expect that his plan to marry a concubine would not only fail, but also almost involve Su Mei. He Tingxi, I really underestimated him. I thought he could only defend, but it turns out that he can also take the initiative to attack."
"It was done by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Your Highness, do you want to fight back?" Fang Di asked.
"No, Xiaowan is pregnant now. If He Tingxi does something again, I'm afraid something will happen to Xiaowan. If this affects my father's enthronement of me as the King of Lu, wouldn't it be a loss for me? So, it's better to keep a low profile these days." He Jingcheng analyzed with a serious face.
"Yes, Your Highness is right." Fang Di nodded in agreement.
After He Jingcheng arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, he finally persuaded the Queen Mother according to the method he had planned.
In addition, he went to the Yangxin Palace and informed the emperor of Xiaowan's pregnancy. The emperor was very happy and immediately appointed him as the King of Lu.
The matter of enthronement will be discussed at the morning court tomorrow.
Prince of Yan's Mansion
Ling Xiyue, who did not sleep well that night, woke up before dawn. After waking up, she could not fall asleep again.
But she still lay down until noon before getting up.
After washing up, Ling Xiyue asked Xiaoyin to accompany her for breakfast.
Seeing that Ling Xiyue looked listless, Xiaoyin asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Well, I don't know why, but I just can't sleep well." Ling Xiyue nodded in admission.
"Your Majesty, are you not used to His Highness not being by your side?" Xiaoyin blurted out.
Ling Xiyue was stunned but did not deny it.
"It's possible, because His Highness comes over every day, and I'm used to His Highness sleeping next to me. So every time I wake up and see that there's no one beside me, I always feel empty in my heart."
As she spoke, Ling Xiyue herself found it a little unbelievable.
"This is a sign that Her Majesty cares about His Highness." Xiaoyin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiyue suddenly looked up at Xiaoyin with surprise in her eyes.
Xiaoyin saw what Ling Xiyue meant, and she smiled and said, "My queen, you already have His Highness in your heart, which is a good thing."
Ling Xiyue's heart started to panic. She quickly lowered her head and continued eating, trying to hide her panic.
"Xiaoyin, stop talking so much and eat quickly."
"Yes." Xiaoyin replied with a smile and continued to eat her meal.
But Ling Xiyue was thinking: Is it really as Xiaoyin said? Do I really care about His Highness? Not really? I am a very sober person. To me, love is not a necessity, but money is the bottom line. I should just be used to His Highness, and it is definitely not love.
After some thought, Ling Xiyue felt much better.
After Ling Xiyue had breakfast, she was bored so she took a walk in the yard to kill time.
Xiaoyin was by his side, and several maids followed behind him.
Not long after, she heard the voices of the guards outside the yard.
"Princess, Young Master Ling wants to see you."
"Please come in." Although Ling Xiyue was surprised, she still responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Junqi walked into the yard. Before Ling Xiyue could speak, Ling Junqi called out, "Greetings to the Empress."
"Brother, come and sit down." Ling Xiyue smiled and pointed at the pavilion.
"Yes."
They both walked towards the pavilion.
The maids knew that Ling Xiyue wanted to sit in the pavilion, so they immediately went to the room, took out cushions and put them on the stool.
Seeing that he also had some, Ling Junqi responded politely.
"Thank you."
After Ling Xiyue sat down, she gave instructions to the maid.
"You all can go down, Xiaoyin is here, that's all."
"Yes."
Ling Xiyue spoke only after she saw the maid leave.
"Brother, you came here so early today? Is there something wrong?"
"From today on, I will officially come here to work for Your Highness. The reason why I have time to come and see you is because Your Highness happened to be out for something today and has some free time." Ling Junqi told the truth.
"Starting today, you will officially work in Prince Yan's Mansion? In that case, we can see each other every day?" Ling Xiyue was a little surprised.
"Yes, but if I have a lot of things to do, I probably won't have time to come and see you."
"It's okay, you don't have to come to see me every day, just do your own thing." Ling Xiyue shook her head.
"Well, but if you have anything, you can come to the study to find me." Ling Junqi responded.
"Okay." Ling Xiyue nodded.
I thought to myself: Ling Junqi's job is finally stable. Helping His Highness handle official business actually means that His Highness has already regarded Ling Junqi as his confidant, which is a good thing. Now it seems that my mission is about to be completed, and I just need to deal with Madam He. After giving birth to the child, Ling Junqi's position will be very solid, and there is nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, a smile slowly appeared on Ling Xiyue's face.
Ling Junqi saw Ling Xiyue's smiling face and thought she was happy for him, so he also smiled and looked at Ling Xiyue's belly.
"I've been pregnant for more than five months, but my belly doesn't seem to be showing much."
Ling Xiyue also looked at her belly and nodded.
"It's not too noticeable. Mammy said that for the first child, the belly generally won't be very big. But not having a big belly also has its advantages, which is that it won't be so painful when giving birth."
"That's right. You should walk more often, which will help with delivery." Ling Junqi reminded.
"I will, brother, don't worry, I understand all this better than you, and I have prepared a strategy." Ling Xiyue responded with a smile.
"Strategy? What does that mean?" Ling Junqi looked confused.
When Ling Xiyue heard this, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly corrected herself, "I have already asked the nannies about everything that should be paid attention to when giving birth."
"Oh, that's great." Ling Junqi finally felt relieved.
After the two were silent for a while, Ling Junqi suddenly asked, "Xiyue, the 20th of next month is your birthday. What gift do you want? I'll give it to you."
