I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

The emperor claimed to be an old man, how could Mrs. Meng Er dare to believe such words, and she didn't even dare to listen to it. But now that she heard it, she felt that her life was in danger.

Seeing Madam Meng kneeling down with a plop, the emperor frowned and asked, "Why are you kneeling down for no reason?"

The emperor was also feeling bitter. Why was it so difficult for him to just be an ordinary person?

"My wife..."

Mrs. Meng stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Why is the princess here?"

Gu Changfeng spotted Qiao Linxi, who looked pale, outside the door. He walked towards her quickly and wanted to reach out to help her, but stopped in mid-air.

Meng Qingyu had also finished washing up and was just at the door, so he reached out to help Qiao Linxi. But when he saw Gu Changfeng reaching out his hand, he pulled back.

But halfway through, Qiao Linxi's hand was placed in his palm, and then the two of them walked in. Qiao Linxi didn't even look at Gu Changfeng the whole time.

Meng Qingyu, who was standing next to them, felt strangely that Gu Changfeng and Qiao Linxi were like a couple having a quarrel.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

Seeing Qiao Linxi coming, the emperor stood up nervously. He was completely unconscious, because Qiao Linxi was his golden father now, and he was counting on her to deal with Dongyue.

"The Emperor is staying at the Princess's residence for dinner. How can I, the protagonist, be absent? Otherwise, it would be very rude."

With the help of Meng Qingyu, Qiao Linxi bowed and returned to the table with the emperor.

"Are these dishes to your liking? If not, I'll have them redone."

The emperor couldn't help but look at the kneeling Madam Meng again, saying jokingly, "You two are so in tune with each other that you even say the same thing."

Qiao Linxi: Is this called telepathy? Isn't this just a normal polite remark?

"The Emperor is very good at teasing me."

Now Qiao Linxi has also accepted it. Mrs. Meng is really good. She can still take care of her even though she has resentment in her heart. She is much better than her nominal relatives, the Qiao family.

At least someone came to take care of her. Qiao Linxi had been awake for such a long time, but the Qiao family still hadn't seen her.

"Well, I just think the Meng family is good."

The emperor then changed the subject and mentioned the dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".

"You, child, you didn't want to send your good things to the palace to be filial to your uncle, but you took them to make money."

Qiao Linxi did not hear any blame in these words, but rather heard a bit of doting from an elder.

Qiao Linxi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty wants to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? That's easy, I'll make it now."

"What are you going to do? You are still injured, don't let anyone spread the word that I tortured a seriously injured young man just for the sake of my appetite."

"Since I am a junior, I should be filial to my elders."

Seeing that the emperor wanted to say something, Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't die."

The emperor stayed at the princess's mansion for dinner, not to give Qiao Linxi face, but perhaps just for the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". It was just that he was the emperor and he cared about his reputation.

He is just an ordinary man, with emotions and desires, but he knows how to hide them.

The words "he won't die" made the emperor look at Gu Changfeng, as if he was enjoying the show.

This seems to be the first Waterloo that Qiao Linxi has suffered since he met Gu Changfeng, right?

As far as I can remember, no woman that Gu Changfeng liked had ever rejected him. Although Gu Changfeng had never shown that he was happy with any woman, that was because he didn't want to. If he wanted to, almost all girls would be willing to devote themselves to him.

There is no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish in the system's lunch box, but she has a gold card and can redeem it.

And Qiao Linxi also figured it out. Since she couldn't leave him and couldn't die, she would just live well. She also planned to really marry Meng Qingyu.

Qiao Linxi pulled Meng Qingyu back to the kitchen.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Meng Qingyu had been with Qiao Linxi for a few days, so he naturally knew what she was like before.

Before, her complexion was rosy and she looked very healthy. But now, it seemed as if the vitality had been sucked out of her. She was very weak, as if she would fall down at the slightest gust of wind.

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "It's okay. I know my body."

Qiao Linxi walked slowly, and as long as she didn't breathe hard, she wouldn't feel any pain in her heart.

Meng Qingyu supported her carefully. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Qiao Linxi asked everyone in the kitchen to leave, leaving only Meng Qingyu.

Seeing her like this, Meng Qingyu had a bad feeling in his heart, that Qiao Linxi might be going to tell him something earth-shattering.

"Do you remember what I said before?"

Meng Qingyu inexplicably recalled Qiao Linxi's last words before she fell into a coma three days ago. She said she was not from this world.

He pursed his lips and didn't respond. Qiao Linxi didn't expect him to answer, and continued to talk to herself: "In fact, I'm really not from this world, and I'm not the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. It's just that by mistake, I exchanged time and space with the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. At first, I occupied her body, took her brothers and sisters to escape the famine, and came to Lanqing City. Later, I was buried under the collapsed ancient tomb. During that period of time, I returned to my world. I only stayed there for seven days, and I came back again because of an accident. However, after I came back again, I was no longer the eldest daughter of the Qiao family from the inside out. During these three days, when I was unconscious, my soul returned to that world, and I learned that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family went to my world because of the incident in the ancient tomb and was adopted by my parents. She said that the way of heaven is fair. I raise her brothers and sisters for her, and she is filial to my parents for me."

"How can it be fair?" Qiao Linxi's eyes were red. "I have my own career there. I am the only daughter of my parents. My family is well-off. In my spare time, my family of three will go out to travel. There is no male superiority or female inferiority, no power suppression, and everyone is equal. How can it be fair?"

Meng Qingyu was surprised. He couldn't imagine what a peaceful and prosperous world the equality that Qiao Linxi talked about would be like.

"Princess, don't be sad. After we get married, I will travel with you all over the country, and we will be a pair of immortal lovers, without worrying about worldly affairs."

Meng Qingyu felt particularly sorry for Qiao Linxi. Although he didn't know what kind of world that was, he could imagine that if it were in his place, where a noble family had only one daughter, she would be spoiled to the extreme.

When Qiao Linxi moved here, she not only had to support more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters, but was also caught up in the vortex of imperial power. With Gu Changfeng suppressing her, she couldn't even make decisions on her own marriage. How could this be fair?

"Do you know why a country girl like me from the countryside could be canonized as a princess by the emperor?"

Meng Qingyu shook his head: "I don't know. My grandfather doesn't know why the princess was canonized as a princess either."

Apart from Qiao Linxi himself, the Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince, and Gu Changfeng, no one else knew about this.

"Because..." Qiao Linxi suddenly took out a gold ingot, "I have this, I used it to fill up the treasury."
