"I don't want it." Xu Lingyi shook her head, "Although I'm afraid of His Majesty, I don't want to agree to His Majesty's request."

Xiao Chengyou sighed in his heart, it's a pity that the fish didn't take the bait.

Xiao Chengyou guessed it right, the imperial decree that was originally circulated on the second day came today because the mansion of the abandoned prince was on fire.

For the first time, the door of the abandoned prince's mansion opened wide.

There was a group of people standing outside the door, and one of them was surrounded by the emperor.

In her previous life, Xu Lingyi only saw the emperor a few times at palace banquets from afar before she got married.

After marrying Xiao Hengyuan, she is not qualified to face the saint as a concubine.

Xiao Chengyou led her forward.

When Xiao Chengyou stepped forward, Xu Lingyi took the initiative to let go of his hand.

Xiao Chengyou looked back, Xu Lingyi shook his head.

"Then wait for me for a while."

The emperor's father and son were talking, and it was not very good for her to lean over. The courtiers around the emperor all backed away at the moment.

Xu Lingyi watched the emperor personally help Xiao Chengyou up, and then patted him on the shoulder, watching the relationship between father and son return to the way it was before.

The emperor carefully looked at the prince up and down: "You lost weight!"

"Is there any injury? Let me see?"

Xiao Chengyou shook his head: "My son is fine."

Maybe because he thought this sentence was too short, Xiao Chengyou explained another sentence.

"The palace that was burned was the place where I used to live. Later, I moved next door to live with the Crown Princess."

As long as the emperor is sitting in that position, no matter how many grievances he and the queen mother have, what can they do?

Can they really break with him other than to forget about it and forgive the Emperor?

He is the Son of Heaven.

Hearing Xiao Chengyou address Xu Lingyi like this, the emperor frowned.

"As long as there is nothing to do, I and your empress heard about this in the palace, and were anxious. Your empress originally wanted to come with me to pick you up, but she has been in poor health for the past few days."

"Let the father, the queen, and the queen worry about the children."

"Come back to the palace with me, your mother is still waiting for you in the palace."

The emperor sighed, now this son respects him more, regards him as an emperor, not a father.

After all, there is a gap between father and son, and these can only be made up slowly in the future.

Seeing Xiao Chengyou's walking posture, the emperor felt a little more guilty.

"You'er, what's wrong with your leg? After returning to the palace, I will call the imperial doctor to see you."

It was only on the day of the palace banquet that he learned that Xiao Chengyou had injured his leg, and the palace people said that the deposed prince had become disabled.

Although he thought that he was not his own son at that time, he felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news.

The friendship between father and son for many years is hard to let go suddenly.

He finally dared not see him.

Now that the truth is revealed, the emperor wants to make amends even more.

The most important of these is the position of the prince.

He was already working on destroying Xiao Hengyuan.

----

When the courtiers saw the pair of Tian family father and son getting along, they knew that the sky in the capital was about to change again.

Many people's eyes fell on Xu Lingyi, and then looked at Xu Xiang, the jealousy in their eyes could not be concealed.

Prime Minister Xu, a cunning old man, bet on two treasures at the same time.

Whether it is Xiao Hengyuan or Xiao Chengyou succeeding to the throne, he will not lose.

It's not that Prime Minister Xu didn't feel the eyes of these people, but he didn't have much affection for his daughter Xu Lingyi.

He also knew what he had done to their mother and daughter. If Xu Lingyi got up, he might not take revenge on him.

----

Until Xiao Chengyou followed the emperor back to the palace, Xu Lingyi didn't come forward because there was no chance at all.

In order to express his love for the prince, the emperor held the prince's hand and got into his car.

Before getting into the carriage, Xiao Chengyou's eyes fell on Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at him.

Xiao Chengyou also raised the corners of his lips.

The emperor saw this scene.

"You'er." The emperor said, "This Mrs. Xu can't be your princess."

Xiao Chengyou suddenly raised his head, "Father, why? My son only likes her."

The emperor shook his head secretly in his heart, this concubine of the Xu family is capable, since Xiao Chengyou was young, he didn't like women to be close to her, and he didn't like women, and now it was the first time that he liked a woman so much.

"You and I both know that the Xu family cannot stay. At that time, she will be the daughter of a criminal minister. How can she be your crown princess?"

Xiao Chengyou retorted, "I only want her, the Xu family is the Xu family, she is her, she has already married an orphan, that is, an orphan woman, what relationship does she have with the Xu family, even if the Xu family is guilty, it is not as guilty as a married woman. "

The emperor didn't speak, but just looked at Xiao Chengyou silently, Xiao Chengyou didn't look away, and looked at the emperor firmly.

"You are very affectionate, but you and Mrs. Xu are not considered husband and wife. There is no matchmaker and no employment. Do you two have a marriage certificate and worship heaven and earth?"

"I know that the two of you have been alone for several months and have mutual affection. Even if the Xu family has not been convicted, her status is not enough to be a crown princess, let alone a queen, not to mention that the Xu family will soon be executed."

"For the sake of her unwavering commitment to you, I will make an exception and give her the position of side concubine. If it is true that according to her status, being a good concubine is barely enough, the position of side concubine is already my biggest concession. "

Seeing that Xiao Chengyou seemed to be about to say something, the emperor shook his head and interrupted, speaking in a deep voice.

"If you want to sit in that position in the future, you will have to make many trade-offs. Your first wife position involves a lot, and you can't do it according to your wishes. I already have someone in mind."

Xiao Chengyou sneered in his heart, is this the emperor's compensation?

If he didn't like Xu Lingyi, he would obey.

After being imprisoned and deposed as a commoner, he knew the importance of power, and he should not reject the emperor.

But he and Xu Lingyi are in love with each other, and he will never let her down. No balance of the situation is as important as Xu Lingyi.

"Useless talents need to rely on these checks and balances, and my sons don't."

Xiao Chengyou said coldly, originally he wanted to maintain the dignity of his father and son, but the moment the emperor looked down on Xu Lingyi, Xiao Chengyou didn't want to tolerate him too much.

"Besides, father, why did you insist on making my mother's queen? According to your statement, my mother's status can't be your first wife, let alone be your queen."

The emperor took a deep breath, "You unfilial bastard, how can she be compared with your queen mother."

"I don't have any other intentions, but you can't ask me to do things that you can't do."

Xiao Chengyou lowered his eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The emperor's original guilt towards him was greatly reduced because of his disobedience.

This was the first time Xiao Chengyou disobeyed him.

But he was reluctant to blame his son, so he only blamed Xu Lingyi.

"This concubine of the Xu family is a good means." The emperor sneered with a straight face.

Xiao Chengyou originally wanted to tell the queen the news of Xu Lingyi's pregnancy first, but he didn't want the emperor to be the first to know.

But now that the emperor is like this, Xiao Chengyou can't care about these things.

"Father, it has nothing to do with her."

Xiao Chengyou knelt down directly.

"She has a deep-rooted affection for Erchen, and has rescued Erchen in distress several times. She doesn't care about being a wife or concubine, but Erchen doesn't want to wrong her and the child. She is pregnant, and Erchen's child must not do it for her Bastard."

The emperor was stunned, his hands trembling slightly, the teacup he was holding dropped at this moment, rolling on the wooden board of the carriage.

The emperor stepped forward quickly, helped Xiao Chengyou, and pressed his shoulder, "You said Mrs. Xu is pregnant? But is it true?"

The emperor couldn't believe it, he never expected Xiao Chengyou to have an heir.

Xiao Chengyou nodded, "It's absolutely true, how dare I deceive you with such a thing?"

"Good good!" The emperor clapped his hands in celebration and laughed heartily.

"Invite Mrs. Xu over here, I want to see this daughter-in-law too."

Xiao Chengyou knew that this was an acknowledgment of Xu Lingyi's identity as the Crown Princess.
