Chapter 168 Making He Tingxi Angry
Shi Hui's words made He Tingxi laugh and cry.
"This is not what he wants. He is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Fame would probably bother him even more."
"It seems so." Shi Hui smiled innocently.
"Okay, let's get to work. It's getting late and there's still a lot to do," He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes."
In the evening, He Tingxi came to Ling Xiyue's room, and they just chatted. As for the emperor's affairs, He Tingxi did not mention a word.
Ling Xiyue didn't ask and pretended nothing happened.
ten days later
Xiao Fan led the convoy back to Prince Yan's Mansion. After everything was tidy, he went to the study.
"Your Highness, Lord Fan requests to see you."
"Come in."
After Xiao Fan walked into the study, he saw Ling Junqi was also there, so he bowed together.
"Your Highness, Master Ling."
Ling Junqi nodded in response to Xiao Fan.
As soon as He Tingxi saw Xiao Fan, he immediately smiled.
"Xiao Fan, you're back. Is everything okay? Did anything happen on the way?" He Tingxi asked anxiously.
"To reply to Your Highness, everything went smoothly along the way. Divine Doctor Jian arrived home safely. I came back only after settling Doctor Jian down." Xiao Fan responded respectfully.
"Okay, very good, thank you for your hard work. Go to Butler Xiao to collect your reward first. I have already told Butler Xiao, and then go back home to rest." He Tingxi ordered with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward. I will take my leave." Xiao Fan bowed and left.
Ling Junqi spoke only after seeing Xiao Fan leave.
"Divine Doctor Jian has returned home safely, and I feel much more relieved."
"Yes, as long as you are safe, I can finally put an end to a worry." He Tingxi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Junqi nodded without saying anything.
He Tingxi paused, he looked at Ling Junqi, and suddenly thought of Ling Junqi's marriage.
"Junqi, have you set a date for your wedding?"
"Not yet. My father has been very busy these days and has been leaving home early and coming back late." Ling Junqi shook his head.
"is it?"
He Tingxi responded indifferently, and said nothing more. He lowered his head and continued to deal with his own affairs.
When Ling Junqi saw He Tingxi's cold expression, his heart skipped a beat and he felt that He Tingxi was angry.
But he didn't dare ask more questions and could only lower his head and continue doing his work.
After that, He Tingxi stopped talking to Ling Junqi, and Ling Junqi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
After finishing the work, Ling Junqi stood up, left his seat and saluted He Tingxi.
"Your Highness, the matter has been completed. I will go back now."
"Yeah." He Tingxi didn't even raise his head, just nodded.
Seeing this, Ling Junqi could only quietly leave the study.
After Ling Junqi left, He Tingxi raised his head and complained, "This Ling Junqi is really not considerate of Xiyue at all. He knew that I had asked Xiyue to help arrange his marriage, but he still didn't seize the time to set a date so that Xiyue could prepare in advance. In the future, Xiyue will give birth to a child, and she will have to take care of the child and manage the household. Where will she have free time? If I had known earlier, I would not have let Xiyue interfere in his marriage."
After Ling Junqi walked out of the study, he was in a depressed mood and walked slowly towards the door.
But after walking a few steps, he felt uneasy in his heart. After thinking about it, he walked towards Ling Xiyue's yard.
When I arrived at Ling Xiyue's yard, I saw Ling Xiyue and Xiaoyin walking in the yard.
"Young Master Ling has arrived."
When the guard standing at the gate of the yard saw Ling Junqi, he shouted into the yard.
Ling Xiyue and the others stopped and turned to look at the courtyard gate. When they saw that it was Ling Junqi, smiles appeared on their faces.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Ling Junqi walked up to Ling Xiyue and stopped.
"I finished my work early today, so I came to see you." Ling Junqi responded with a forced smile.
"Then, let's go inside and talk." Ling Xiyue smiled.
"it is good."
Ling Junqi followed Ling Xiyue into the room. After sitting down, Ling Xiyue asked Xiaoyin and other maids to leave, and she spoke to Ling Junqi alone.
Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Junqi who looked like he was worried, and asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you worried?"
Ling Junqi looked at Ling Xiyue's expectant eyes, he sighed softly, and then spoke slowly.
"Just now, His Highness asked me if my wedding date had been set. I told him the truth, no, and said that my father was busy with official duties recently. After hearing this, His Highness didn't say anything to me, but he didn't pay any attention to me. Even when I left, he didn't even look up at me. I guess he was angry."
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then she nodded.
"Ignoring you, not even looking at you? That means he's angry. Your Highness, he's the type of person who won't make a scene when he's angry, but will just keep silent."
Ling Xiyue's affirmative words made Ling Junqi instantly nervous.
"Xiyue, what should we do?"
Seeing Ling Junqi's anxious look, Ling Xiyue smiled.
"Brother, don't be so nervous. I'm here. It's okay."
When Ling Junqi thought of He Tingxi's love for Ling Xiyue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked worried.
"I know that Your Highness is angry because I have not set a date for the wedding, but since my father has not expressed his opinion on the date, I cannot decide." Ling Junqi said with difficulty.
"Why hasn't father set a date for your wedding yet?" Ling Xiyue was a little confused.
"I don't know either. I only know that it will be scheduled for the second half of the year. As for when, my father has never said. I see that my father is so busy, so it's not easy to ask." Ling Junqi sighed slightly, with a somewhat helpless look on his face.
Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Junqi with a frown on her face.
I wondered in my heart: Why does it seem that my father is not interested in Ling Junqi's marriage? What went wrong? Should I look for the original owner's memory?
Ling Xiyue began to search through the original owner's memories of Ling Junqi in her mind.
After some searching, they found out that Ling Junqi's fiancée was the third daughter of Ma Lun, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Her name was Ma Yuanyuan and she would not be sixteen until June.
After learning about this, Ling Xiyue became even more confused, and she asked her questions to Ling Junqi.
"Brother, no matter how busy I am, I can't be so busy that I don't have time to help you set a wedding date, right? Unless I don't want to."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Junqi was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and his face was full of worry.
Seeing this, Ling Xiyue asked anxiously: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Ling Junqi slowly came back to his senses after hearing the voice. He said slowly, "Xiyue, you just reminded me, and I remembered something. It seems that father and Uncle Ma haven't been in touch much in the past one or two years. I wonder why?"
"Not in touch much anymore? Why?" Ling Xiyue was anxious.
"Xiyue, you know that when you were still in Ling Mansion, Uncle Ma would come to visit from time to time, but since you married His Highness, I have never seen Uncle Ma come again. Before, I just thought they were very busy, and then they said they would wait until Ma Yuanyuan was sixteen before getting married, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because she was indeed not suitable at such a young age. Now that I think about it, it seems abnormal."
Ling Junqi analyzed as he recalled.
"So, their attitude changed after I married His Highness?" Ling Xiyue reacted immediately.
