Chapter 186 Seeking Comfort from Sumei
After listening to He Tingxi's analysis, the Queen Mother was silent for a while before she slowly said, "This matter is indeed about feeling. Without feeling, no matter how good-looking a person is, he or she will not be pleasing to the eye. It seems that Mingle and Ling Junqi are not destined to be together."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Tingxi was secretly happy, but he had a very regretful expression.
"Yes, I wanted to make the relationship closer, but unfortunately, Ling Junqi doesn't have this blessing."
The Queen Mother looked at He Tingxi and smiled knowingly.
"is it?"
He Tingxi was stunned. He looked at the Queen Mother and saw a hint of suspicion in her smile. He immediately understood what the Queen Mother was thinking.
He smiled slightly and responded, "Nothing can escape the wise eyes of the Imperial Grandmother."
The Queen Mother smiled softly, and then said to He Tingxi: "Mingle has no interest in Ling Junqi, so we won't force it. The Empress Dowager will ask your mother to find a suitable man for Mingle."
"Yes." He Tingxi responded obediently.
"Tingxi, now that your leg illness has recovered, you will be busier with official duties in the future. Don't worry about Mingle's affairs. You have your mother, Concubine Qing and others." The Queen Mother said sympathetically.
"Yes, grandson will follow the arrangements of the Royal Grandmother." He Tingxi responded honestly.
"Okay, today, you just accompany the Royal Grandmother here, and then go back to do your thing." The Queen Mother stopped and looked at He Tingxi with a kind face.
He Tingxi also stopped and said politely, "Grandma, it's okay. I haven't walked with you for a long time. I should spend more time with you."
"Go ahead and get busy," the Queen Mother said softly.
After a moment's hesitation, He Tingxi bowed to the Queen Mother.
"Then, grandson will take his leave."
"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded.
He Tingxi then stepped back.
After seeing He Tingxi walk away, Nanny An walked up to the empress dowager and supported her.
"Madame An, send someone to call the Queen and tell her that I have something important to discuss with her."
"Yes."
……
After He Jingcheng returned to Prince Lu's Mansion from the palace, he went directly to Chunheyuan.
As soon as Su Mei saw He Jingcheng coming, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Your Highness."
Su Mei saluted He Jingcheng, and when she walked to He Jingcheng's side, she saw that He Jingcheng had a gloomy face, and she asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong? What happened?"
After He Jingcheng entered the room, he walked directly to the round table, sat down, and sighed slightly.
Su Mei followed He Jingcheng to the round table. She first poured a cup of tea for He Jingcheng and handed it to him.
"Your Highness, please have a cup of tea first."
He Jingcheng took it and said, "You sit down too."
Only then did Su Mei sit down.
He Jingcheng drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and put the cup down before he spoke.
"Just now, when I went to the Queen Mother, she told me that Mingle didn't like Ling Junqi. Not only that, but the Empress Dowager also issued an imperial decree, asking the Queen Mother to help Mingle find a suitable consort."
He Jingcheng became angrier as he spoke.
"Ask the Queen to help Princess Mingle find a husband? That's not easy to do." Su Mei sighed.
He Jingcheng was immediately distressed when he heard this.
"This time, I really asked for trouble."
"Your Highness, what should we do? The Queen Mother has issued an imperial decree, and we have to obey it." Su Mei also said in distress.
"This He Tingxi not only helped Ling Junqi out of the predicament, but also successfully transferred the problem to our mother. He is really amazing." He Jingcheng snorted coldly, with a hint of anger on his face.
Seeing that He Jingcheng was angry, Su Mei didn't dare to say much and just watched quietly.
He Jingcheng pondered for a while before continuing to speak.
"Well, if the Queen Mother really takes care of Mingle's lifelong affairs, it won't be a bad thing. At least it will get the approval of the Emperor Father."
"Yes, Your Highness is absolutely right." Su Mei responded obediently.
Seeing Su Mei's well-behaved appearance, He Jingcheng took the initiative to hold Su Mei's hand and sighed: "Su Mei, I feel much more comfortable here with you, and I am not irritable."
Su Mei instantly understood what He Jingcheng meant, and she responded with a little shyness.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for recognizing me. I am honored."
Looking at Sumei's shy little expression, He Jingcheng suddenly became interested. He pulled Sumei up, picked her up, and walked towards the bed.
Su Mei was stunned at first, then she buried her head in He Jingcheng's arms with a slight smile on her lips.
The next day at Yin time
He Jingcheng, who had spent the whole night with Su Mei, got up from the bed.
Seeing this, Su Mei also got out of bed and helped He Jingcheng get dressed, looking reluctant to let him go.
"Your Highness, it's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I also want to stay, but the Queen Mother's spies are always watching us, so I have to return to my own yard before the hour of Mao so that I won't be discovered by the Queen Mother's people." He Jingcheng explained.
"Your Highness, you have worked so hard. It is my fault. I am sorry to you, Your Highness." Su Mei said guiltily.
"Silly boy, you haven't let me down, it's just that I like you too much." He Jingcheng said with a smile.
Hearing He Jingcheng's "confession", Su Mei was secretly delighted. She lowered her head slightly and said shyly, "Being liked by your Highness, I feel like the happiest person in the world."
By this time, Su Mei had already helped He Jingcheng get dressed.
Looking at Su Mei's shy appearance, he couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
"With you around, I feel very happy. Well, you continue to rest, I'll go back first." He Jingcheng said gently.
Su Mei nodded obediently, then bowed to He Jingcheng and said, "Your Highness, go back to your room and have a good rest."
"Okay, I understand." He Jingcheng nodded, walked straight out the door and closed it.
Su Mei watched He Jingcheng leave, and thought about her own future, feeling a little complicated.
She got into bed and continued to lie there.
She muttered, "The prince really likes me now. There are two concubines in the mansion, but he didn't go to them. He only came to my courtyard. But I can't get pregnant. When I lose my beauty, will the prince still like me? He is the high and mighty Prince Lu. There is no shortage of beauties around him. Although the prince has found a good doctor for me, it has no effect. The most hopeful person now is Doctor Jian, but he refuses to treat me. What should I do? Should I really accept my fate?"
After muttering, Su Mei fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a long time, she suddenly had an idea.
"Doctor Jian, he will definitely not treat me in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. After all, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Prince of Lu are not on good terms with each other. But if I go to him privately, without letting His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan know, and then offer a high price, he shouldn't refuse, right?"
Thinking of this, Su Mei made a secret decision.
"When His Highness comes over, I will discuss it with him. His Highness should not object. However, if His Highness does not allow me to go, I will not care. In order to have my own child, I have no choice but to fight for it."
After He Jingcheng left Chunheyuan, he immediately went to his own yard to rest.
He Jingcheng didn't meet anyone along the way and was in a good mood.
Because he was too tired, He Jingcheng fell asleep again quickly.
