Chapter 355 Lotus Tower 14
Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, the Queen was quite helpless.

Although she felt sorry for her daughter who had to leave the palace to travel outside since she was young, she felt more proud in her heart.

She also knew that Xier's path was not going to be easy. It was not easy for a woman to become an emperor.

If there is not enough strength to convince people, those stubborn old guys in the court will be the first to disagree with this matter in the future.

If Ling Xi knew what the Queen was thinking, she would probably burst out laughing.

She was traveling abroad simply because she liked her freedom, and she didn't want to become emperor so early.

As for the ministers in the court, they will not be an obstacle to her.

The queen touched Ling Xi's face, and looking at her delicate and beautiful face which was very similar to her own, she became more and more pleased.

"By the way, Xi'er, this time when you come back, your mother and father are planning to find a consort for you. Your mother has already selected several young men from noble families for you. They are all excellent in appearance and knowledge. What do you think? If you are willing, you can meet those young men from noble families. Besides, it is time for you to choose a consort."

The queen held Ling Xi's hand, her face full of emotion.

The little girl at the beginning has grown into a stunningly beautiful young lady in the blink of an eye.

She wanted to choose the most perfect prince consort for Xier, who could also help Xier in the future.

A frown flashed across Ling Xi's forehead. Why did she have to choose a prince consort when she was just of marriageable age?

Ling Xi chuckled helplessly and said, "Mother, I'm still young. I don't want to marry a prince consort so early. Besides, I haven't traveled all the way around the world yet. I want to travel outside for a few more years."

The Queen also knew that Ling Xi was still young, and she was only offering an opinion, with no intention of forcing her.

She said softly, "Mother knows that if you don't want to, Mother won't force you. Your wishes are the most important. Mother wants you to choose a prince consort because she is worried that you will be too tired in the future. Having someone caring around you will make you happier."

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

For the queen, nothing is more important than the happiness of her own daughter.

The road Xier has to take is extremely difficult, and she hopes that there is at least one person who can accompany her.

Hearing this, Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't have any such thoughts for the time being.

She didn't want to find a husband for herself at such a young age.

For the next three months, Ling Xi stayed in the palace.

While helping his father to handle state affairs, he also helped his mother to continue to regulate her health, and at the same time helped to teach Qing'er.

Qing'er is now very naughty and cute. Ling Xi likes her very much, so he stays in the palace for a few more months.

Five months later, Ling Xi, who was urged by Li Xiangyi's letters, finally left the palace and planned to return to Yangzhou City.

Although she was in the palace during these five months, she never missed any news from the martial arts world.

Now there are many more people around Li Xiangyi, and the Sigumen’s territory is also under construction.

Sigumen is located in a quiet open space outside Yangzhou City. The surrounding area is sparsely populated, making it a very suitable place.

It is adjacent to Pudu Temple. Coincidentally, the abbot of Pudu Temple, Master Wu Liao, and Li Xiangyi are close friends regardless of age difference. Li Xiangyi often goes to Pudu Temple to have tea with Master Wu Liao.

This is much more convenient now.

The title deed to Sigumen was given to Li Xiangyi by Ling Xi.

That piece of vacant land was bought by the Divine Doctor Valley a few years ago, but the Divine Doctor Valley had never used it. This time, it was given to Si Gumen as a gift.

It can also be regarded as her investment in Si Gu Men. With this big gift, her status in Si Gu Men is almost the same as A Wan's.

She had a close relationship with Li Xiangyi, Qiao Wanwan, and Shi Shui, and everyone in the martial arts world knew that she was also a member of the Si Gu Men. This gift was also sent to their hearts.

When returning to the palace, Ling Xi rode as fast as he could.

This time in Yangzhou City, Ling Xi rode at full speed, only resting twice along the way, and then he never stopped and rushed straight back to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou City is still as lively as ever.

Ling Xi did not go to the courtyard that Li Xiangyi bought, but returned to Baicaotang.

Baicaotang is a clinic opened by the Divine Doctor Valley. When Ling Xi was in Yangzhou City, he usually stayed alternately in the clinic and the inn.

"Young Master."

The doctors inside saw Ling Xi and greeted her with a smile.

Ling Xi responded one by one.

After looking through the patient logs of the past few months in the clinic for a while, Li Xiangyi came hurriedly.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Ling Xi, who was reading the diary, heard familiar footsteps. He looked up and saw Li Xiangyi, who was still sweating on his face, running towards him.

After not seeing him for five months, the young man was still as dashing, handsome and cheerful as ever, but perhaps because he was leading a group of people, he looked a little more majestic.

What he was wearing was the red clothes that Ling Xi had someone make for him. There were a few gems embedded in the belt, which made the clothes more gorgeous.

The young man was full of vigor and enthusiasm, so the red color set off him particularly well and made him look even more handsome.

His hair was tied with a red headband, matching his red clothes.

Without waiting for Ling Xi to say anything, Li Xiangyi ran up to Ling Xi and hugged her.

The boy's chest was warm, and his rapid heartbeat and breathing all showed his excitement and his inability to contain himself.

"Axi, I miss you so much."

Li Xiangyi whispered in Ling Xi's ear, his breath was warm and sprinkled on Ling Xi's ear, causing a shiver.

Ling Xi was so stunned by Li Xiangyi's actions that she didn't react. When she came to her senses, she was already in Li Xiangyi's arms.

Ling Xi couldn't help but feel her ears getting hot. She pushed Li Xiangyi's chest, but failed.

Li Xiangyi hugged too tight.

"Okay, Xiangyi," Ling Xi reached out and hugged Li Xiangyi back, then said, "I'm back now, right? Besides, I was only away for five months, is it that serious?"

Li Xiangyi rubbed Ling Xi's shoulder like a puppy, and said in a humming voice, aggrieved: "As for, I haven't seen you for five months, and you can't let me hug you?"

Five months, a full five months. During these five months, Li Xiangyi experienced for the first time what it felt like to miss someone deeply.

I was so anxious and wanted to see her all the time. I wished I could go find her right away, but I didn't know where to find her.

Ling Xi pushed again, and this time finally pushed him away.

Raising her eyes slightly, Ling Xi saw Li Xiangyi looking at her tenderly, with deep longing in his eyes. That look made Ling Xi's earlobes red.

Why did she feel that after not seeing him for five months, Li Xiangyi became more and more handsome?

"I just came back about an hour ago, why are you here?"

Ling Xi looked at Li Xiangyi and asked with a smile.
