Quickly wear the pregnant queen

Chapter 338 The scheming snake and the scorpion × the powerful regent 18

Qi Yuan didn't pay attention to him. Gu Qingfeng's words made him feel uncomfortable.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qingfeng asked again.

"It's nothing, shut up."

He was not as unattractive to women as Gu Qingfeng thought.

Qi Yuan felt a little irritated, perhaps not because of Gu Qingfeng's words, but because of himself.

He himself probably didn't like Xu Lingyi.

They didn't meet often, and the time they spent together was short, so they didn't fall in love so quickly.

Perhaps he married her more because of his commitment to Wei Fuchi.

The other thing is that he doesn't hate her, nor does he reject her approach.

In the past, Qi Yuan had always disliked women getting close to each other, so Xu Lingyi was one of the rare exceptions.

How they will get along in the future, Qi Yuan just plans to let nature take its course.

But he also never thought about being a fake couple with her forever.

----

After the engagement, Xu Lingyi originally thought of finding a way to have more contact with Qi Yuan and win him over completely.

But unfortunately, Qi Yuan received a mission from the emperor and left Beijing.

And she has been waiting to get married in the Gu family, and getting married has always been a cumbersome matter.

What's more, it's a royal wedding.

There are only three months left. During these three months, not only the Palace Household Office has been busy, but the Gu family has also been busy.

Xu Lingyi has much fewer things to do, but people still come to her every day.

Sometimes it's people from the palace, sometimes it's the Gu family.

"You're getting married tomorrow, but are you still nervous?"

Xu Lingyi nodded and pretended to be worried. In fact, she didn't have much fluctuation in her heart.

Some women may be worried about whether they can get a husband in the future and whether they can gain a firm foothold.

But Xu Lingyi was confident. She was ambitious and determined, so she would naturally get what she wanted.

So there is no uneasiness.

"Three months to prepare for the wedding is too short a time. Fortunately, we have prepared your dowry."

"Thank you."

"Don't say such things. It's the honor of the Gu family that you can get married in our family. If you really want to thank you, the Gu family should thank you."

Xu Lingyi's dowry was all prepared by the Gu family, and the queen also sent many things.

The Xu family once wanted to send something as a gift, but Xu Lingyi refused.

She prefers the Gu family, which is mutually beneficial, rather than being kidnapped by so-called family ties.

----

Qi Yuan came back two days before the wedding. He originally wanted to see Xu Lingyi, but was told that he could not meet Xu Lingyi a few days before the wedding.

He didn't meet Xu Lingyi until the wedding day.

The moment he lifted the red hijab, Qi Yuan was once again amazed by her appearance.

He also heard the sound of people around him breathing.

"Oh my God, my sister-in-law is so beautiful. Brother Ten, no wonder you refused to get married before. It turns out that you have too high standards and only want to marry a fairy-like woman like my sister-in-law..."

The princess's voice was not that of the others present.

Xu Lingyi lowered her head shyly, but she could still feel Qi Yuan's gaze above her.

It’s true that she has been using beauty lotion and other treasures during this period.

She initially did not use the treasure given to her by the immortal, firstly because she was reluctant to use it, and secondly because she had always been proud of her beauty and did not feel that she needed it.

But it was during this period that she felt the fairy family's methods. Every time she looked at herself in the mirror, she realized that she was becoming more beautiful day by day.

Her appearance was already stunning enough in the past, but now she is even more beautiful than a mortal.

Xu Lingyi felt that it would not be a problem to capture Qi Yuan.

It's a pity that when the crowd dispersed and they were alone at the end of the night, nothing happened to them.

Xu Lingyi: "..."

As a woman, and because she was Wei Fuchi's former fiancée, she naturally couldn't take the initiative.

But Qi Yuan was a man, and she could clearly feel the surprise in his eyes.

He still didn't do anything.

Xu Lingyi didn't want to be just a superficial couple with him in the future, she had to take action.

This idea became more urgent after meeting the emperor and empress the next day.

Because Xu Lingyi discovered that the emperor's complexion was much worse than the last time he saw him after not seeing him for three months.

"Cough cough..."

"Father, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Qi Yuan said in a worried tone, "My son has only been away from Beijing for three months, why did you..."

He was raised by the emperor, and even though he looked cold and solemn, he had deep feelings for the emperor and empress in his heart.

"Nothing, just an illness."

The emperor waved his hand.

"You can't die yet."

The emperor spoke lightly, but everyone except him looked worried, and the queen was no exception.

Qi Yuan was not good at words, "I have returned to the capital. You will leave all the government affairs to me. You can take medicine and rest well."

If other princes dared to say such things, the emperor would be afraid of him and have to deal with him.

But if it were Qi Yuan, it would be completely different.

"Yes." The emperor agreed readily, "I feel relieved to leave it to you."

"But Yuan'er, besides being busy with government affairs, you can't forget to care about the princess. I just hope to see your heir before I close my eyes, so that I can feel at ease when I leave."

After coming out of the palace, Qi Yuan was obviously in a much lower mood.

When they entered the palace today, they did not expect that the emperor's health would take a turn for the worse.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty will be fine." Xu Lingyi could only comfort.

She hoped that the emperor would live a little longer.

She hasn't won Qi Yuan's heart yet.

When he ascends to the throne of God, they will all move into the palace. The palace is large and they will live in different palaces.

By then it will be impossible for the two of them to live together like they did in the palace.

Naturally, she lost a lot of opportunities to get along with Qi Yuan.

Moreover, when he first ascended the throne, Qi Yuan had many things to do, and he also had to observe filial piety when the emperor passed away.

By then it would be even less likely that they would sleep together.

If their relationship at that time was weak and close to nothing, Qi Yuan would probably marry another woman in order to balance the court?

Xu Lingyi thought a lot, and the sense of crisis struck again.

"Yes." Qi Yuan sighed deeply, "But I know in my heart that my father is nearly 70 years old, and sooner or later such a day will come."

Although he said this, Qi Yuan's mood was not high on the way back home.

As soon as they arrived at the palace, the queen sent someone.

"Mother Li?"

"Your Highness, the Queen has something for me to tell you."

Aunt Li came this time because the queen already knew that Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan did not consummate their marriage last night.

The emperor's illness came suddenly and was very serious.

Your Majesty is in poor health and may not be able to survive for long.

The imperial doctor also said that it might only last about a year.

"Your Majesty didn't want to make you worry, so I didn't tell His Highness the truth, but Your Majesty didn't want to hide it from you. Your Majesty wanted the Prince and Princess to consummate their marriage as soon as possible."

"It would be better if I could conceive an heir, and it would also make His Majesty...at ease in the future."

"My Majesty has asked me to stay in the palace from now on. I wonder if you will agree, Your Majesty?"

Aunt Li was also uneasy, as His Highness Prince Yan was not someone who would be forced to do anything.

Xu Lingyi listened silently.

The queen's purpose of sending Nanny Li here was clear to her and Qi Yuan, which was to bring her and the prince together.

Xu Lingyi felt a little excited.

If Qi Yuan is willing to keep Nanny Li, it means that he is willing to get along well with her and go one step further.

"What do you think, Princess?" Qi Yuan turned around and asked her.
