Xu Lingyi was originally arranged to ride in a carriage at the very back, and the carriage was rather simple.
Xu Lingyi began to guess that the emperor might not like her very much.
The palace maids are all smart, otherwise they would not have arranged her here.
"Master Xu, His Majesty has summoned you."
Eunuch Li still doesn't know how to address Xu Lingyi, because it is still unknown whether she is his wife or concubine, and His Highness has just regained his status as a prince and has not yet been crowned king.
But after hearing the laughter in His Majesty's carriage, Eunuch Li guessed that this woman would not become a concubine, so he still treated her with great respect.
When Xu Lingyi followed Eunuch Li into the emperor's carriage, she saw the emperor's amiable face.
He looked Xu Lingyi up and down like a kind elder.
"Your Majesty."
"You don't have to kneel." The emperor said with a smile, "Just sit down."
Eunuch Li quickly helped Xu Lingyi up.
"Look up."
The emperor was actually very happy in his heart, but he was used to showing his authority without getting angry in front of the younger generation, so he appeared a little serious.
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes obediently.
"Well, not bad, worthy of my son."
Another reason why the emperor disliked Xu Lingyi before was that he heard that she was ugly.
Looking at her now, she is clearly a stunning beauty.
In the future, her and the prince's children will surely be good-looking.
Thinking of this, the emperor completely accepted Xu Lingyi. Thinking about the fact that she was pregnant, if she could get pregnant now, she would definitely be able to get pregnant in the future.
For Xiao Chengyou, the issue of offspring that he was most worried about has now been resolved.
The emperor's way of being kind to people was very simple, which was to give them some tangible benefits, the first of which was to recognize her identity.
"I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to select an auspicious day for you two to officially get married."
Because Xu Lingyi was pregnant, the emperor considered letting the Xu family go for the first time.
"Your father has committed a serious crime, plotting to murder and defaming the prince. I originally intended to execute him directly after some time, but now that you are pregnant, I will show some leniency to the Xu family."
The emperor had previously thought of beheading Xu Xiang in public after a while, but Princess Zhenyang was a relative, so he could be spared.
But now Xu Lingyi is pregnant, and Xu Xiang is the biological father after all, so he has changed his mind and can spare his life.
So the emperor didn't mind telling Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi: “…”
She wished the emperor would kill Xu's father immediately, but she didn't dare say this in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi wanted to kneel down again.
The emperor signaled with his eyes, and Eunuch Li hurried to help.
"Your Majesty, you do not need to show mercy to my father because of me. A woman must obey her husband. I have already followed Your Highness, and I will always put Your Highness first."
"I know that my father intends to murder Your Highness. The moment he harms Your Highness, I will never forgive him."
"In the heart of this subject, no one is more important than Your Highness."
Xu Lingyi has a kind of magic that makes people feel that everything she says is true.
The emperor originally doubted Xu Lingyi's sincerity and wanted to see how she would turn his son into a romantic man.
But now he realized that Xu Lingyi truly loved the prince.
He was also an experienced person, so he could naturally see her feelings for the prince.
"You are a good person. My son did not make a mistake in choosing the right person. Then let's do as you say." The emperor said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief. She would be mad to death because the emperor forgave the Xu family.
This was not a reward at all, but a punishment for her.
"Is there anyone in the Xu family that you care about? Is your mother still alive?"
The emperor knew from Xu Lingyi's words that she and Xu's father were probably not close and there was no father-daughter relationship between them.
Xu Lingyi nodded.
"Then I will confer upon your mother the title of First-Rank Lady of the State."
The smile on Xu Lingyi's face was now genuine, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"If you have anything else you want, just tell me."
The emperor really couldn't think of what else to give Xu Lingyi, and his words were not just a courtesy.
"Whatever you want, you can tell me and the Queen, and I will help you get it."
Xu Lingyi shook her head repeatedly, but Xiao Chengyou smiled and took Xu Lingyi's hand to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Father. However, Yi'er can't think of anything to ask for right now. Father, please make three promises. You can fulfill them for Yi'er in the future."
Xu Lingyi pulled Xiao Chengyou's sleeve, "Your Highness..."
"Don't worry, father really wants to reward you." Xiao Chengyou held Xu Lingyi's hand.
The emperor watched silently, and finally laughed and scolded: "People often say that daughters are extroverted, but I think my son is the one who is outgoing."
"Forget it, just as You'er said."
Xu Lingyi was surprised that the emperor would agree to this.
The emperor didn't mind. He planned to leave the country to Xiao Chengyou. What else could he not give him?
————
After Xu Lingyi was reborn, she met the queen for the first time.
She looked very sickly, just like in her previous life.
"Let me take a look at you."
The Queen treated Xu Lingyi very well and was very close to her.
Xu Lingyi knew that she loved the man and his family.
She raised her head, but she was a little hesitant to look the queen in the eye.
In her previous life, she did not intend to kill the queen, but in order to take revenge on Xu Baozhu, she brought disaster to the queen and made her illness worse.
But then the Queen chuckled at her and shook her head.
"I don't blame you. I won't live long anyway. Go back. I will keep today's events a secret for you."
Xu Lingyi left the palace trembling with fear. She did not wait for the news of being convicted.
