"But is it true?"
The queen was so delighted that she couldn't believe it, and even wondered if this was a way she and the prince came up with to comfort her.
After all, the fact that Xiao Chengyou cannot have children has been deeply rooted in their minds for many years.
Xu Lingyi nodded. "Your Majesty, how dare I deceive you with such a thing? I am indeed pregnant with Your Highness's child, and Your Majesty knows it."
"Your Highness and I dare not deceive the Emperor."
After hearing her so confident, the queen finally dared to believe the news.
She shed tears silently, but with a smile on her face.
"You are a good child." The queen held Xu Lingyi's hand tightly and looked at her with burning eyes.
"I used to be most worried about You'er. He was stubborn and strong-willed. After he knew he had been poisoned by an incurable poison, he became depressed and didn't want to touch any woman again."
The Queen still remembered that when Xiao Chengyou was a teenager, he once asked her tearfully, "Has there ever been a prince in history who couldn't have children? Can he really become emperor in the future?"
At that time, she could only comfort him, but in fact she had no confidence in her heart.
Who dares to bet on the emperor's wishes?
Now that she has met Xu Lingyi, the Queen is filled with joy.
"It's You'er's blessing to meet you."
The Queen spoke gently, her frail hand touching Xu Lingyi's hair. "You'er has never had any contact with a woman. If he does anything wrong, you can tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Xu Lingyi might think that others were just being polite when they said this, but for some reason, when the queen said this, she could feel her sincerity.
"Your Majesty, it is my blessing to meet Your Highness. Your Highness is really good to me. Your Majesty, don't worry." Xu Lingyi smiled.
Xiao Chengyou does seem to like her at the moment and is quite nice to her.
"That's good." The Queen nodded gently. "You can call me Mother, just like You'er does."
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes, "Mother."
The Queen looked at her with a smile, "Mother has also prepared something for you today."
The queen signaled the maid to come forward, and Xu Lingyi saw the female official holding a jade box.
"Yier, open it and take a look."
Xu Lingyi took it and opened it to see a jade bracelet inside. The quality was better than any jade bracelet she had seen before. It was obviously of top quality and could be passed down as a family heirloom.
"This jade bracelet was given to me as a dowry by my mother. It was only passed down to daughters in my family, but unfortunately I only had You'er, so I gave it to you."
Xu Lingyi wanted to refuse when she heard this, but the queen directly put the jade bracelet on Xu Lingyi's hand.
"Indeed, it suits you very well. This is my gift, and I cannot refuse a gift from an elder." The queen spoke in a gentle tone but her words were firm.
Xu Lingyi no longer refused.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... Thank you, Queen Mother." Xu Lingyi had just changed her words and felt a little uncomfortable.
————
"It's time for the Queen to take her medicine."
The emperor and Xiao Chengyou walked in at this time.
Seeing that the queen was obviously much more energetic, he knew that she already knew that Xu Lingyi was pregnant.
What the emperor was most worried about recently was the queen's health.
Seeing that the queen's face was obviously flushed and the bracelet on Xu Lingyi's hand, he knew that the queen loved Xu Lingyi very much.
All this is indeed Xu Lingyi's credit.
"You stay and have dinner with your mother."
————
"Thank you, Yi'er."
Xiao Chengyou held her hand and walked towards the palace gate. They still lived outside the palace.
"The Queen Mother seems to be in much better condition today."
Xu Lingyi smiled faintly: "Your Highness, do we still need to thank each other?"
"Indeed, there's no need." Xiao Chengyou curled his lips. "The Emperor is already choosing a good day for us. Soon everyone will know that you are my legitimate wife."
"From now on, I will only have you, Yi'er."
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes, her eyes slightly widened.
She was indeed a little surprised. She just wanted Xiao Chengyou to like her, but she didn't think that she would be the only woman for him in the future.
After all, in his previous life, Xiao Hengyuan had more than 30 women in his backyard.
What's more, Xiao Chengyou will be the emperor in the future.
Now hearing him say this, her first reaction was disbelief.
"Yier doesn't believe it?" Xiao Chengyou noticed her reaction.
He had thought she would be happy, but now she seemed only surprised.
Xu Lingyi shook her head: "I... Your Highness, you are a prince... Ordinary people with some money would take concubines, let alone... you are of such status."
Xu Lingyi never thought that Xiao Chengyou would only have her. All she wanted was power and the position of queen.
As long as he doesn't shake her position, she won't be sad at all if he has other women.
Of course, it would be better if there weren't any.
She prefers clean men.
"Others might, but I won't." Xiao Chengyou spoke, looking at her seriously, his deep eyes staring straight at her.
"I only like you. Even at this age, I've only ever been attracted to you, Yi'er. I only want you. Do you believe me when I promise you this?"
After realizing that he liked Xu Lingyi, Xiao Chengyou knew that it was impossible for him to fall in love with other women. He didn't want to be fickle, and he didn't want to be like the emperor.
The emperor hurt the queen mother's heart. What the emperor failed to do, Xiao Chengyou will definitely do.
Xiao Chengyou's dark eyes were full of seriousness.
Xu Lingyi nodded, "Your Highness, I believe it."
Regardless of whether he can do it in the future, he should be serious at this moment.
Xu Lingyi threw herself directly into his arms, smiling broadly, "Thank you, Your Highness. If Your Highness doesn't let me down, I will definitely not let Your Highness down either."
