After the last incident with Nanny Li, the meals in the palace began to be managed extremely strictly.
After that, Qi Yuan was not in the palace for several days, and was devoted to handling state affairs.
Xu Lingyi wanted to get closer to him and create some opportunities, but there was no way.
She inexplicably felt that Qi Yuan was avoiding her.
"Father, I request your permission to leave the city to provide disaster relief."
The emperor looked at him deeply and said, "This disaster is serious. You are indeed needed to go. Just bring the princess with you."
Qi Yuan has not returned to the palace in the past few days. The emperor saw it and was worried.
Qi Yuan shook his head and refused: "Father, the princess is weak and will be traveling a long way, so it is not appropriate for her to accompany you."
"She's so young, how can she be weak?"
The emperor covered his chest and coughed, "Husband and wife are of one mind, so they should go out together. Moreover, a girl in the boudoir is trapped in the mansion all year round. You can take this opportunity to take her out and broaden her horizons."
The most important thing is to cultivate feelings.
The emperor already knew about what happened with Nanny Li in the palace.
He felt the same as the queen, but he still had hope and was determined to match them up.
"This is settled. You must return home tonight, even if it's official business. It's inappropriate to leave the princess at home right after the wedding. What do you want outsiders to think?"
Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, "I understand."
It’s not that he didn’t want to go back home, but he was a little afraid to see Xu Lingyi.
After taking the Chinese medicine that day, while waiting for the antidote for an hour, although he had been taking a cold shower, the desire in his heart did not diminish at all.
My mind was filled with Xu Lingyi's charming face, her rosy red face and her extremely slender waist...
If I hold it in my palm, I'm afraid she won't be able to break free no matter what.
Qi Yuan's Adam's apple rolled wildly, and he didn't even want to wait for the antidote. He just needed to hug her and the problem would be solved naturally.
At that time, countless crazy images flashed through Qi Yuan's mind.
In the end, he even relied on these fantasies to survive the hour.
After the effect of the drug wore off, Qi Yuan regained much of his sanity and felt a surge of guilt.
He actually blasphemed her in his heart.
This is also the reason why Qi Yuan has not returned home in the past few days.
He realized that he had developed a desire for Xu Lingyi.
Not only during the hour of taking the Chinese medicine, but he also dreamed of her several times at night afterwards.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as Qi Yuan got off the carriage, he saw Xu Lingyi waiting at the door.
Although it is not as cold as it was a few months ago, it is still a bit chilly in the evening after the sun sets.
"Why are you waiting at the door?"
Qi Yuan took off his cloak and covered her with it.
Xu Lingyi seemed a little flattered. "I heard that the prince was returning home, so I waited at the door."
Looking at her extremely beautiful eyes, Qi Yuan's heart moved slightly.
He pursed his lips tightly, "Don't wait next time."
"Okay." Xu Lingyi nodded softly and obediently.
"Is there anything wrong?" Qi Yuan's voice was hoarse and restrained, and no thought could be seen.
"The emperor just sent someone to the palace and delivered a lot of things."
"Just accept it if it's a gift from your father." Qi Yuan took her to the mansion.
"good."
"Are you willing to follow me to leave the city?"
Qi Yuan still asked, feeling both eager for her to go and worried that she would suffer on the way.
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes and asked, "Leaving the city?"
"Well, I'm going there to provide disaster relief."
"Can I go?"
Of course Xu Lingyi wanted to go, she was just a little surprised that Qi Yuan was willing to take her.
Qi Yuan had not returned home in recent days, and she was worried when the opportunity came.
"The emperor asked me to take you with him," Qi Yuan explained. "The journey will be long. If you don't want to go, I will go and tell you."
Xu Lingyi shook her head. "Since it is my father's order, I will definitely go."
"Besides, I can also take care of His Majesty's food, clothing, and daily life on the road. I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I can't help. I can only do what is within my responsibility to fulfill my duties as a princess."
Her answer made Qi Yuan feel a little happy.
She was willing to go with him.
"Then you can come along, but you don't have to do these chores. Just think of the journey as an outing to relax."
A delicate and beautiful woman like her is not suitable for doing laborious and strenuous work, after all, she has to support so many maids and servants.
————
The night before departure, Qi Yuan once again had an erotic dream about Xu Lingyi.
All his dirty thoughts in the dream were realized on Xu Lingyi.
The more comfortable he felt in the dream, the more lost Qi Yuan felt after waking up.
There is a huge contrast between dreams and reality.
"Prepare the horses!"
Qi Yuan went to Wei Fuchi's tomb.
The cemetery took four months to build and the surrounding area is desolate.
The last time Qi Yuan came was the day when Wei Fuchi was buried.
He has witnessed too many deaths in the army over the years.
The old friends are gone, and the living can only move on.
"Fu Chi, don't blame me."
Qi Yuan poured the wine in front of the tombstone.
"When you die, let me help her find a good family."
At that time, Qi Yuan never thought that he would end up marrying Xu Lingyi.
"I tried my best to find a suitable family, but I couldn't find one. Although I married her now, it can be considered as fulfilling your last wish by accident. I think this may be God's will."
Maybe God destined them to be husband and wife.
"We've been friends for life and death, brothers. I've always been hesitant, but now... I don't want to be just a superficial couple with her anymore."
He was the legitimate son of the emperor and empress, and had everything he wanted since he was a child.
