Qi Yuan ignored him. Gu Qingfeng's words inexplicably made him uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qingfeng asked again.
"Nothing, just shut up."
He was not as unattractive to women as Gu Qingfeng thought.
Qi Yuan felt a little annoyed, perhaps it was not because of Gu Qingfeng's words, but because of himself.
He himself probably didn't like Xu Lingyi.
They didn't meet often and spent a short time together, so they didn't fall in love so quickly.
Perhaps he married her more because of his promise to Wei Fuchi.
Another thing is that he doesn't hate her, nor does he reject her approach.
In the past, Qi Yuan never liked women getting close to him, and Xu Lingyi was one of the rare exceptions.
As for how they get along in the future, Qi Yuan just plans to let nature take its course.
But he also didn't think of being a fake couple with her forever.
————
After the engagement, Xu Lingyi originally wanted to find a way to have more contact with Qi Yuan and completely win him over.
But unfortunately, Qi Yuan received a mission from the emperor and left Beijing.
She has been waiting to get married in the Gu family, and getting married has always been a tedious matter.
What’s more, it’s a royal wedding.
There was only three months left, and during these three months not only the Imperial Household Department was busy, but also the Gu family.
Xu Lingyi has much less to do, but someone still comes to see her every day.
Sometimes it’s people from the palace, sometimes it’s people from the Gu Mansion.
"You're getting married tomorrow, but you're still nervous?"
Xu Lingyi nodded, pretending to be nervous, but in fact she was not too upset.
Some women may be worried about whether they can get a husband in the future and whether they can gain a firm foothold.
But Xu Lingyi was confident that she had ambition and determination, so she would naturally get what she wanted.
So there is no anxiety.
"Three months is too short to prepare for a wedding. Fortunately, we have prepared your dowry."
"thank you."
"Don't say that. It's an honor for the Gu family that you can marry into our family. If anyone really wants to thank you, it should be the Gu family."
Xu Lingyi's dowry was all prepared by the Gu family, and the queen also sent a lot of things.
The Xu family once wanted to send gifts, but Xu Lingyi refused.
She prefers a family-oriented approach, where there is mutual benefit, rather than being kidnapped by so-called family ties.
————
Qi Yuan rushed back two days before the wedding. He originally wanted to meet Xu Lingyi, but was told that they could not meet a few days before the wedding.
He didn't see Xu Lingyi until the day of his wedding.
The moment she lifted the red veil, Qi Yuan was once again amazed by her appearance.
He also heard the people around him gasp.
"Oh my god, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, Brother Ten, no wonder you refused to get married before. It turns out that your standards are too high. You only want to marry a fairy-like woman like my sister-in-law..."
The princess's thoughts were also those of everyone else present.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head shyly, but she could still feel Qi Yuan's gaze from above.
It was worth it that she had been using beauty lotion and other treasures for a long time.
She did not use the treasures given to her by the immortal at first. Firstly, she was reluctant to use them, and secondly, she was always proud of her beauty and did not feel that she needed them.
But it was during this period of time that she felt the power of the immortals. Every time she looked at herself in the mirror, she found that she was becoming more beautiful day by day.
Her appearance was already stunning enough before, and now she is even more beautiful than an ordinary person.
Xu Lingyi then felt that taking down Qi Yuan would not be a problem.
It was a pity that when the crowd dispersed and it was late at night and they were alone, nothing happened between them.
Xu Lingyi: “…”
As a woman, and as she was Wei Fuchi's fiancée before, she naturally could not take the initiative.
But Qi Yuan was a man, and she clearly felt the surprise in his eyes.
He still didn't do anything.
Xu Lingyi didn't want to be just a nominal couple with him in the future, she had to take action.
This thought became even more urgent after he met the emperor and empress the next day.
Because Xu Lingyi discovered that even though she hadn't seen the emperor for three months, his complexion was much worse than the last time she saw him.
“Ahem…”
"Father, what did the imperial physician say?"
Qi Yuan said with concern, "I have only been away from the capital for three months, why are you..."
He was raised by the emperor, and even though he looked stern on the outside, he had deep feelings for both the emperor and the empress.
"Nothing, just a little sick."
The emperor waved his hand.
"I can't die yet."
The emperor spoke lightly, but everyone except him had a worried look on their faces, and the queen was no exception.
Qi Yuan was not good at speaking. "I have returned to the capital. You can leave all the government affairs to me. Please take your medicine and rest well."
If any other prince dared to say such words, the emperor would probably be afraid and want to punish him.
But when it comes to Qi Yuan, it is completely different.
"Yes." The emperor readily agreed. "I feel very relieved to leave it to you."
"But Yuan'er, besides being busy with state affairs, you must not forget to care for the princess. I only hope that before I close my eyes, I can see your offspring, so that I can be at peace when I leave."
After coming out of the palace, Qi Yuan was obviously in a much more depressed mood.
When they entered the palace today, they had no idea that the emperor's health would take a turn for the worse.
"Your Highness, His Majesty will be fine." Xu Lingyi could only comfort him.
She hoped the emperor would live longer.
She hasn't won Qi Yuan's heart yet.
When he ascends the throne, they will all move into the palace. The palace is large and they will live in different palaces.
By then, it would be impossible for the two of them to live together like they did in the palace.
