Lin Qingqing was so angry at Lin Jiuqing that her face turned blue, and she couldn't find any words to refute. She was about to explode.

Seeing that the food was almost cooked, Lin Jiuqing stretched out his hand and pushed a plate of cakes in front of Lin Qingqing, saying, "This cake is your Majesty's favorite. Would you like to try it too?"

Lin Qingqing: “!!!”

I was so angry just now, but now my attention is completely diverted.

Can she eat the cakes that His Majesty likes? Does that mean she has also eaten at the same table with His Majesty?

When Lin Qingqing thought of this, she quickly reached out to grab the cake, but she froze mid-air and turned to look at Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing's face showed no strange expression, and he even nodded encouragingly: "Would you like to try it?"

Lin Qingqing stared at her for two seconds, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite of the cake.

Then, she slowly frowned, her eyes gradually became a little weird, and finally looked at Lin Jiuqing with suspicion: "You said, this is your Majesty's favorite cake?"

Lin Jiuqing nodded.

"You must be lying to me," Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "This cake tastes sour and astringent. How could Your Majesty like this kind of thing?"

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "You don't like sour food?"

Lin Qingqing didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.

Lin Jiuqing said with a half-smile: "I'm not lying to you, this is indeed your majesty's favorite pastry, and it is a must-have in the kitchen every day."

Lin Qingqing frowned and looked at the cake in her hand with a look of incomprehension. This seemed very hard to swallow to her, but His Majesty liked it very much...

Lin Jiuqing looked at her expression and said slowly: "If I asked you to eat this cake every day, what would you do?"

Lin Qingqing said without even raising her head: "It's better to die!"

Lin Jiuqing chuckled, "Yes, you are the daughter of Minister Lin, who was raised in the palm of his hand. Your parents have never let you suffer any injustice. If you were to eat something that doesn't suit your taste for the rest of your life, it would be really hard for you, and it would be a waste of your parents' love for you since you were a child."

Lin Qingqing: "..."

Lin Qingqing tilted her head and looked at Lin Jiuqing, always feeling that there was something else behind his words.

Lin Jiuqing did not continue to talk about this topic, but asked: "You came to my place today, are you just here to drink tea and eat cakes?"

Lin Qingqing's attention was diverted again. She threw the cake in her hand onto the plate and stared at Lin Jiuqing with a look of disappointment: "I warned you a long time ago, be careful of the dog around you biting back, you didn't listen to me, did you?"

Lin Jiuqing frowned: "What do you mean?"

"These days, the court and the harem have been discussing one thing," Lin Qingqing said unhappily, "Many people are watching to see when you will follow the second prince to the border."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

"Guess how many people in our harem want you to go?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiuqing said calmly without even thinking, "Everyone wants me to go!"

After all, she monopolized His Majesty, leaving all the concubines in the harem alone in their empty rooms. One can imagine how resentful they were towards her.

Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Don't you have a good relationship with Concubine Shun? Why, do you think she wants you to go too?"

Lin Jiuqing picked up the sour cake and took a bite, then said calmly, "I can't say it's good... She's also a member of the harem, so how could she expect me to always favor her?"

She is a woman, and she can understand what is hidden in Zhou Ruo's eyes when she looks at Mo Xiao.

Although, Mo Xiao always said that she was a smart person.
