Naturally, she had fewer opportunities to spend time with Qi Yuan.
Moreover, Qi Yuan had a lot of things to do as he had just ascended the throne, and according to the rules, he also had to observe mourning for the emperor when he passed away.
By then it was even less likely that they would share a bed.
If their feelings were weak, almost non-existent at that time, Qi Yuan would probably marry another woman to maintain balance in the court?
Xu Lingyi thought a lot in her mind, and the sense of crisis came over her again.
"Hmm." Qi Yuan sighed deeply, "But I know in my heart that my father is nearly seventy years old, and this day will come sooner or later."
Although he said so, Qi Yuan was in a bad mood on the way back home.
As soon as they arrived at the palace, the queen sent someone.
"Madame Li?"
"Your Highness, the Queen has something for me to tell you."
Nanny 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 this time came suddenly and was very serious.
Your Majesty is in poor health and may not be able to hold on for much longer.
The imperial physician also said that it might only be about a year.
"His Majesty did not want to cause you to worry, so he did not tell Your Highness the truth. However, the Queen did not want to hide it from you. The Queen wanted the Prince and the Princess to consummate their marriage as soon as possible."
"It would be even better if she could conceive a child. It would also allow Your Majesty to rest assured in the future."
"The Queen has asked me to stay in the palace from now on. I wonder if Your Majesty will agree to this?"
Nanny Li was also nervous, because His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was not the type to be forced.
Xu Lingyi listened quietly beside him.
She and Qi Yuan both knew very well that the Queen sent Nanny Li over to bring her together with the prince.
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 take the next step.
"What do you think, Princess?" Qi Yuan turned around and asked her.
