Chapter 383 Lotus Tower 42
Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi stayed in Tianji Villa for a few days.

Witnessed by Ling Xi and He Xiaohui, Fang Duobing offered Master tea to Li Xiangyi.

From then on, Fang Duobing became the disciple of Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Sigu Sect.

During these few days, Ling Xi also checked Fang Duobing's health. After all, he was her apprentice now, and she couldn't let her apprentice practice martial arts with a body that was about to die.

So, Ling Xi treated Fang Duobing seriously and gave him many rare medicinal herbs.

Afterwards, Ling Xi left He Xiaohui with two prescriptions for recuperation for the next period of time, and only then did he leave with peace of mind.

They rode straight ahead and arrived at the capital city in a few days.

In front of the palace gate, Ling Xi looked at Li Xiangyi, who did not show any surprise, with a smile in her eyes. She stared at Li Xiangyi and asked:

"You already knew my identity?"

Ling Xi had already noticed this.

She had no intention of hiding her identity in front of Li Xiangyi. With Li Xiangyi's intelligence, he would definitely be able to find out that something was wrong.

And once he remembered everything, her identity was no longer a secret in Li Xiangyi's heart.

Li Xiangyi looked at Ling Xi's bright and beautiful eyes and couldn't help but be dazed.

Then, he raised his chin and answered confidently: "Ah Xi didn't hide anything from me. If I can't guess Ah Xi's identity, then I am really stupid."

He looked at Ling Xi intently. There was no anger in his eyes because Ling Xi had concealed her identity from him. Instead, his eyes were filled with pride and honor.

Li Xiangyi spoke in a resounding voice: "Princess Zhaoming, nice to meet you!"

Ling Xi stretched out her hand and looked at him, her expression serious and solemn, "Then accompany me to the palace, my prince consort."

A warm look of joy appeared on Li Xiangyi's face. He also stretched out his hand, held Ling Xi's slender hand, and interlocked their fingers.

At this moment, his heart finally settled down. When he guessed Ling Xi's true identity, Li Xiangyi was scared.

It was not because he felt that he was not worthy of his Axi, but because he was afraid that his identity as a descendant of Nan Yin would bring trouble to Axi.

Even though he had no involvement in the imperial court, he had heard of the name of Princess Zhaoming among the common people.

Princess Zhaoming promoted improved varieties of seeds, built water conservancy projects, and established schools among the people so that ordinary people could also go to school and learn a craft. This gave many people a way to make a living and she was well-known among the people.

The title Zhaoming, to a certain extent, represents a unique meaning.

Therefore, Li Xiangyi did not want his existence to become a reason for others to attack Ling Xi.

But Ling Xi told him with her attitude and sincerity that he didn't need to be afraid, and that he would not be her weakness or soft spot.

In this way, Ling Xi brought Li Xiangyi into the palace.

When I walked into Chaoyang Palace, I saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne at the top with a serious expression on his face.

Standing in the hall, Ling Xi seemed not to notice the majestic expression on his father's face, and bowed calmly: "Your son greets you, father."

The emperor glanced at Ling Xi. Although he was upset that his daughter had chosen Li Xiangyi, he still couldn't bear to let his most beloved daughter keep the posture of saluting.

He raised his hand, his eyes showing a look of disappointment: "Get up."

Ling Xi stood up immediately, looking as if to expect it.

After Ling Xi stood up, Li Xiangyi knelt down in the hall and said, "I, Li Xiangyi, pay my respects to His Majesty."

Li Xiangyi's bow was not only a sign of respect for his elders, but also a way of telling the emperor that he was just Li Xiangyi, not a descendant of the Nanyin royal family. He would not pose any threat to them.

The emperor looked at Li Xiangyi coldly. To be honest, for the sake of stability in the court, he really wanted to kill this descendant of Nan Yin to prevent future troubles.

But he couldn't touch him because his precious daughter liked him.

"Li Xiangyi?" The emperor snorted, looking grim, and asked, "Are you just Li Xiangyi?"

Ling Xi was standing aside. When he heard this, he looked up at his father.

When the emperor noticed this look, he felt even more upset, so he simply stopped looking at her, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

His darling daughter, a beautiful and juicy cabbage, was taken away by a pig outside.

Li Xiangyi knelt on the ground, facing the emperor's questioning, neither humble nor arrogant, and calmly replied: "Your Majesty, I am Li Xiangyi, and I will only be Li Xiangyi."

Seeing Li Xiangyi's attitude, the emperor's mood finally improved a little.

He cared about Li Xiangyi's identity but didn't mind it that much.

On the one hand, it is because he understands his daughter and has confidence in her.

Even if he really likes Li Xiangyi, Ling Xi will not joke about the country.

Between her love and her duty to the country, his daughter would only choose duty.

On the other hand, if they are together with Li Xiangyi, their future children will be of the common blood of Daxi and Nanyin. The people of Nanyin in Daxi will therefore have a stronger sense of belonging to Daxi and will no longer try to do those things to restore their country.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Get up. Since my daughter has chosen you, I won't say anything. But you have to treat her well. Otherwise, there are many good men in the capital. My daughter can have many choices."

In the emperor's mind, his daughter will be the emperor of Daxi in the future, so it is normal to marry several men. Which emperor doesn't have three palaces and six courtyards?

Li Xiangyi was just standing up, and almost staggered when he heard this.

It has to be said that he was surprised. It turns out that the royal family can play like this! !

Is this a decline in morality or a distortion of human nature?

"Ah Xi, take him to let your mother take a look."

The emperor said to Ling Xi, with a gleam in his eyes.

He couldn't do anything to Li Xiangyi, but at least he could do something to the Queen.

Ling Xi naturally knew what his father was thinking.

"Yes, Father."

Ling Xi and Li Xiangyi walked out of Chaoyang Palace and headed towards the harem.

On the way, Li Xiangyi turned around and asked Ling Xi in doubt: "Ah Xi, is what your father just said true? If you are not satisfied with me, there are really many men who will take your place?"

Ling Xi suddenly came up with a good idea. She looked at Li Xiangyi's worried face, her eyes turned, and she smiled and replied:

"Of course. You know, my father has only two daughters, my sister and I. Whoever becomes my consort will be promoted to the top in one step. Xiangyi, believe it or not, if I spread the news today that I want to select a consort, the candidates will line up from the palace gate to Chaoyang Palace tomorrow."

Li Xiangyi: !!!!!!!!!!!!
It turns out that this is possible!!

"That won't do." Li Xiangyi grabbed Ling Xi's arm, his face wrinkled, and he said aggrievedly: "Ah Xi, you can only have me as your consort, no one else."
