Chapter 221: Don’t talk about Qi anymore
Ye Qingge tried hard to hold back her tears. She didn't want Ling Ye to see her like this, otherwise it would be even harder for him.
Every time she mentioned this matter, she couldn't control her emotions. She couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. When would she become strong enough?
With her status, wouldn't the outcome be the same even if she married someone else? Ling Ye had already treated her very well, so she really shouldn't ask for anything more.
She leaned in his arms, tried to hold back her tears, and put on a smile.
"Your Highness, I believe you, but can you please promise me that you will never argue with my mother again?"
"What if she continues to choose concubines for me?"
"Then let her be. She has her own considerations, and it's for your own good."
Ye Qingge tried to calm her tone and continued
"Your Highness, when you take power in the future, if you want to maintain your throne, you must take concubines. Only by marrying the daughters of important officials into your harem can you ensure their unwavering loyalty to you."
Xiao Lingye was a little moved. She actually thought so clearly about the affairs of the court. The status of concubines who married into the harem was always linked to their mother's family.
But who could really think of this? The harem was full of jealousy and quarrels almost every day, and he had seen it all since he was a child.
He looked down at the person in his arms and asked in a low voice
"Then you're not jealous?"
Ye Qingge took a deep breath
"How can I not be jealous? But as long as it is for the good of Your Highness, I am willing to do it."
Xiao Lingye let her go and straightened her body. Seeing her red eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. She was obviously unwilling in her heart, but she was still so stubborn.
"My beloved concubine, are you going to push me to another woman?"
"No, Your Highness's legs are on your own body. From now on, where Your Highness wants to go and whoever He likes is entirely up to Your Highness. I have no right to interfere."
Ye Qingge turned her head away and didn't look at him. Xiao Lingye turned her head back and asked her to look at him.
"Qingge, don't talk to me like that. I'll be very sad. You're the only one in my heart. If you don't believe me, how about I take my heart out and show it to you?"
"I don't want it"
"Then could you please stop saying those angry words? Where else can I go in this life except into your heart? If I don't have you, can I get out?"
His face was full of heartache, and he patted his legs
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have needed to heal my legs, and there wouldn't be so many problems now."
Ye Qingge saw him patting his legs and grabbed his hand in time
"Your Highness, no, okay, okay, I won't say anything angry anymore, please don't do this."
"Don't say it anymore"
"Um"
"you promise?"
"I guarantee"
Xiao Lingye held her back in his arms
"How about I take you far away and let whoever wants to be the crown prince be the crown prince?"
Ye Qingge admitted that she had just said something in anger. When she heard him say that he would take her away, her heart softened and she asked
"Your Highness, are you willing to give up this overwhelming wealth?"
"You are my lifelong treasure"
"Your Highness, I believe you can achieve both. Please do not act impulsively."
It's easy to say that they want to run away, but their identities are there, and there are too many relationships involved. They are destined not to live a simple life like ordinary people.
It's tiring to keep discussing this topic, and it will only alienate their relationship. Ye Qingge thinks it's better to change the topic.
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival. Please take me out of the palace. It must be very lively outside the palace. I want to go and see it."
"Okay, wherever you want to go, I will take you there."
Xiao Lingye lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He thought to himself that if the day really came when he had no other choice, he would not care so much.

Prince Xuan's Mansion
Xiao Lingche was so angry that he threw everything he had on hand. This time, Xiao Lingye actually came back safely. He really underestimated him.
He originally planned to kill Xiao Lingye on his way back to Beijing, or at least capture him alive and hand him over to his father along with his assassins. He didn't expect him to escape.
The most infuriating thing is that they captured Longlin Guard, and now they probably know that he was the one who did it.
He slammed the table again in anger.
"You're useless! You can't even do this!"
Qingshi and several secret guards were kneeling below. Qingshi saw that the prince was so angry. He didn't want to do it either, but the man was so powerful in martial arts, how could it be easy to kill him?
He said boldly
"Your Majesty, that man is extremely skilled in martial arts. If you don't take action, I will not be his opponent at all."
Xiao Lingche closed his eyes and asked slowly
"Has the letter to Qi Guo been delivered?"
"Your Highness, I personally delivered the letter to the Emperor of Qi. He said he owed you a favor and will definitely help you this time."
"Okay, in that case, I will wait for good news."
He didn't believe that Xiao Lingye would not die this time. As long as he died, the country and the beauty would be his.
He clenched his fists and thought of the scene in the Imperial Garden last night. He saw Qingge in another man's arms, so charming and attractive. He wanted to rush over and kill Xiao Lingye to snatch Qingge away.
That was originally his woman!
He then ordered
"Keep a close eye on Shen Qingqing tomorrow and don't let her ruin my plan. If necessary... you know what to do."
Qingshi understood and immediately clasped his fists and said
"My subordinates understand"

next day
Ye Qingge put on beautiful makeup because today was the Qiqiao Festival. This was the ancient Valentine's Day, so she had to dress up well and go out of the palace on a date with His Highness. This was also their first Valentine's Day together.
She tried on several dresses in succession and showed them to Xiao Lingye, asking him to help her choose.
But men are so perfunctory
"My beloved concubine looks good in any outfit."
Ye Qingge pouted dissatisfiedly and said
"Your Highness, can you please be more serious?"
Xiao Lingye looked depressed
"I'm worried about you going out dressed so beautifully"
Ye Qingge said with a smile
"Your Highness is right beside me, why should I be worried?"
"I'm worried that people are always staring at you"
"How can it be so exaggerated? I am worried that those women will stare at Your Highness."
"How about we not go?"
"No, this is the first Valentine's Day that I have spent with Your Highness, and I don't want to spend it bored in the palace."
……
In the end, the two chose ordinary clothes and left the palace, but what they didn't know was that their good looks were not due to the clothes at all.
So even if they dress ordinary, they will still shine in the crowd. After all, their height alone is very eye-catching.
Ye Qingge took off the gold hairpins on her head, and Xiao Lingye took her to Ruyifang and bought her a magnolia hairpin.
Ye Qingge was very satisfied with this hairpin, it was fresh and elegant, and it matched the moon-white dress she was wearing today.
"I like this hairpin very much, thank you, husband."
"Then can you wear it every day from now on?"
Xiao Lingye remembered that she used to wear a special hairpin every day, but she never wore it again. He guessed that it might be a gift from Xiao Lingche.
Ye Qingge hugged him and said coquettishly
"Of course, I have to wear the hairpin my husband gave me every day."
