How ridiculous, yet he said it so seriously?
"But why, Brother Xie? Will your parents agree?"
Xie Huaixing smiled and shook his head. "Even if they disagree, I have no choice. I don't want to stay in the Xie Mansion anymore. I accidentally learned about some of the wrong things my father did, and I don't want to be involved with them. Rather than living in fear and feeling guilty all day, it's better to cut ties with them right away."
"Besides, Yi'er won't have to worry about them not liking you. I should be the one worrying about the Xu family not accepting me."
Xu Lingyi actually considered this possibility, but then she started to worry: "Grandmother really doesn't like me... What if you go to the Xu Mansion and Grandmother bullies you?"
"Leave it all to me. Although I'm a son-in-law, I'm not someone who can be bullied. If they dare to bully Yi'er again... I won't show mercy."
Xie Huaixing was very clear about the situation in the Xu Mansion and he was confident.
"Okay." Xu Lingyi nodded in agreement.
She was already worried that Xie Huaixing would ascend to a high position in the future, and she didn't want him to have many concubines. Now it was good enough. She stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, and leaned over to kiss him.
"Then Brother Xie will be mine from now on. I will treat you well."
"I couldn't ask for more."
A year after Xie Huaixing married into the royal family, he was suddenly named Crown Prince, and Xu Lingyi became the Crown Princess.
She also met the emperor that day.
The man at the top looked at her with extremely complicated eyes, which seemed to contain a myriad of emotions.
"Come forward." The emperor on the high platform had an expression on his face and a cold aura surrounding him.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Lingyi knelt down and saluted.
She could feel the emperor's gaze above her lingering on her for a long time, so long that her heart felt numb and frightened.
Why did the emperor look at her like that? She didn't dare to look up, let alone move.
She knew that he was the Son of Heaven, the most powerful person in the world, and that his words could determine the life and death of her and her husband.
"Look up."
Only now did Xu Lingyi face the emperor's face at such a close distance.
His eyes were filled with emotions, as if filled with passionate affection, crazy and intense.
She screamed in panic, wishing she could escape immediately and never see the emperor again in her life.
But the next second she heard the words from above, "You are not her."
There was a gloomy and hostile tone in the words, and it seemed to contain extreme disappointment. Xu Lingyi even heard a sob and bitterness in the words.
Did the emperor cry? So the emperor can cry too?
Who is that she?
She kept guessing in her mind and heard his next words.
"Retreat, and don't enter the palace again."
Half a year later, the emperor abdicated and Xie Huaixing became the new emperor.
Xu Lingyi became the queen inexplicably, and she herself did not expect it.
"Where did your Majesty go?" Xu Lingyi wondered.
"He converted to Buddhism and traveled around the world."
For some reason, she felt mixed emotions when she heard about his ending. Perhaps it was because that day, he looked at her with infinite sadness.
It was also the first time she knew that the emperor's eyes could be so bitter and painful.
"Yier, do you know him?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head, "Why do you ask?"
"Before he abdicated, he told me to take good care of you and never let you down or hurt you in this life."
Xu Lingyi was surprised, but she still shook her head: "I don't know either. Will Brother Xie let me down?"
"Of course not. Yi'er is the treasure of my life. I would rather die than let you suffer even the slightest injustice."
Xu Lingyi smiled and hugged him.
Decades later, Xie Huaixing fulfilled her promise that he would only love her, and only her, in this life.
He also became the only emperor in history who observed monogamy, just like in modern times.

I forgot the introduction to the fourth story. The book introduction has a word limit and cannot be included, so I can only put it at the end of the paragraph. This story is mainly about marriage first and love later. I beg for your support, and I should be able to update at least three times a day from now on.
The fourth story: The scheming concubine and the childless and deposed prince fall in love after marriage.
He knew she was scheming and malicious, and only cared about clinging to power, but he still loved her.
Introduction: Xu Lingyi is a plain-looking concubine. In her previous life, she was determined to climb up the social ladder, just to avoid being stepped on and to prevent herself and her mother from being bullied.
She wanted to be the best, but her ambition was as high as the sky and her life was as fragile as paper.
No one could look at her favorably. Everyone despised her ugly appearance and treated her like a waste.
After being reborn, Xu Lingyi received a special treasure bag containing countless beauty and childbearing props.
She thought of the prince who was deposed for having no children in her previous life, and Xu Lingyi vowed to get close to him.
Because she knew that the deposed prince was the emperor's most beloved and special son, and his dethronement was only temporary, as it was he who ascended the throne in his previous life.
