The Queen Mother did not expect Zhou Ruo to be so persistent.

The Queen Mother frowned and didn't want to agree.

However, Zhou Ruo was the biological mother of the second prince after all. If she did not allow her to take the child away, people would say that she, as an old woman, was mean.

The Queen Mother was caught in a dilemma for a moment.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, footsteps were heard outside. Qiuyue walked in quickly and said softly to the Queen Mother, "The Concubine Chen is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ordered the people beside him: "Go and bring up a pot of tea that His Majesty sent last time. Also, close the windows to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. Add another layer of cushions on the chairs to make them softer."

A long time ago, when Qiuyue was still in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she often took care of Lin Jiuqing's life. Later, Lin Jiuqing experienced a major change and walked through the gates of hell. After returning, he was always weak, and His Majesty had been carefully conditioning him. Therefore, Qiuyue habitually prepared all these.

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and agreed.

Lin Qingqing on the side stared at Qiuyue for several times, and finally turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, if you don't know, you would think Qiuyue is someone close to Concubine Chen, she is so attentive."

There was something sarcastic about what she said, and anyone who was not stupid could understand what she meant.

Zhou Ruo was still kneeling on the ground, watching Qiuyue's series of arrangements, and her face was not very good. She often came to the Queen Mother's place, and was familiar with Qiuyue, but Qiuyue was always indifferent to her and never took the initiative to talk to her. She thought that people around the Queen Mother should be a little arrogant, but she realized today that Qiuyue was not indifferent to everyone.

The Queen Mother glanced at Lin Qingqing and said calmly, "She used to be someone close to the Emperor."

One sentence explains Qiuyue's behavior.

Because she was close to the emperor, she would take special care of people the emperor valued.

Lin Qingqing curled her lips and was speechless.

After a while, Lin Jiuqing walked in from outside. Qiuyue stood at the door and saluted from a distance: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."

Lin Jiuqing smiled when he saw Qiuyue, stretched out his hand to pull Qiuyue up, and said softly: "There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Qiuyue smiled, opened the curtain for her and led her in.

After Lin Jiuqing entered, he saluted the Queen Mother politely: "Meetings, Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled, raised her hand, and pointed to the chair next to her: "No need to be polite, sit down."

Lin Jiuqing sat down, then looked at Zhou Ruo who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Zhou Ruo, then said calmly: "Nothing, it's just that Concubine Shun wants to take the second prince back to raise him."

After hearing this, Lin Jiuqing widened his eyes in surprise: "Really? That's really not a coincidence."

The Queen Mother paused and looked at Lin Jiuqing: "What do you mean?"

Even Zhou Ruo, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly, "Ningning has been busy with government affairs recently and has been under a lot of pressure. I was thinking of bringing An'er over to stay with him for a few days. When Ningning is free, I can play with him and relieve his pressure."

"Looking at the situation now... am I here at a bad time?"

After hearing what Lin Jiuqing said, Zhou Ruo's expression changed instantly, and the hand holding the child tightened instantly.

She never thought that Lin Jiuqing would come to snatch the child from her.
