Lin Jiuqing looked at the plate of cakes in front of him and said softly, "It's not that I don't like it, I just think it's okay."

If she eats a little when Mo Xiao eats, Mo Xiao will be happier than usual.

Lin Jiuqing suddenly looked up at Yingyue and said with a smile: "Did you see Concubine Xian's reaction when she ate the cake just now?"

Yingyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I saw it, I was quite disgusted."

"Yes, even if it was the cakes that her beloved Majesty liked the most, she didn't like them and looked disgusted. She only took a small bite of this cake and never touched it again. When I asked her if she wanted to take some back, she hesitated for a moment and said no directly."

The smile in Lin Jiuqing's eyes deepened: "Do you know what this means?"

Yingyue asked stupidly, "What does it mean?"

Lin Jiuqing said slowly: "It means that she loves herself more than His Majesty."

Yingyue looked at Lin Jiuqing in a daze, still not quite understanding the deep meaning behind Lin Jiuqing's words.

Lin Jiuqing just shook his head without further explanation.

She used to think that Lin Qingqing truly loved Mo Xiao, but now it seems... that is not entirely the case.

Lin Qingqing has been loved since she was a child, and has been held in the palm of her parents' hands. What can she not get? When she fell in love with Mo Xiao at first sight, her first reaction was to get him, because since she was a child, there was nothing she could not get.

But unfortunately, Mo Xiao was not someone she could get easily. As time went by, he became her obsession, and she also thought that she was deeply in love with Mo Xiao.

But judging from her performance just now, she clearly loves herself more.

The little girl is in love for the first time, and some things are not so clear to her, but it doesn’t matter, there will always be a day when she will understand.

Lin Jiuqing finished a cup of tea, and then said to Yingyue: "Go and call Xia Ying."

Yingyue was stunned, glanced at Lin Jiuqing's expression, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, Xia Ying walked in: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."

Lin Jiuqing personally helped Xia Ying up and said softly, "Why should we be so polite?"

When she was still with Tang Xiuyan, Xia Ying was arranged by Mo Xiao to serve her. Although she was still very wary of Mo Xiao at that time, and was not very close to Xia Ying, the affection between master and servant for many years still existed.

Since then, Xia Ying has been taking care of Mo Chengning until now.

Xia Ying looked at Lin Jiuqing and smiled lightly.

Lin Jiuqing pulled Xia Ying aside and poured her a cup of tea before asking softly, "How is Ningning? You served him, did he make things difficult for you?"

Xia Ying said quickly: "Your Highness has a kind heart and never makes things difficult for others."

Lin Jiuqing's eyes were filled with a smile: "If he does something wrong and embarrasses you, don't be polite to him. Discipline him if necessary. I will take care of it for you, so you don't have to worry."

Xia Ying said without thinking: "The little prince is extremely intelligent and kind-hearted. He doesn't need to be disciplined by me at all. Empress Chen, the little prince is really good."

Lin Jiuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I get it, just protect him."

Xia Ying paused, then smiled shyly.

What she said just now was not entirely false... Although the little prince was a little eccentric and sometimes gave her a headache, he was extremely respectful to people like them and never deliberately made things difficult for them.
