Lin Jiuqing put down the rattle in his hand, walked to the side and sat down. After drinking a sip of tea, he looked at Lin Qingqing.

"Before, didn't you dislike the Second Prince?" Lin Jiuqing teased with a smile, "But why don't I look like you dislike him?"

Lin Qingqing glanced at her sideways: "Who told you that I don't like the Second Prince?"

Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

"What does a child know?" Lin Qingqing curled her lips. "It's not that I don't like him, it's that I don't like his hypocritical mother."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

Lin Qingqing seemed to have opened up her chatterbox. She sat opposite Lin Jiuqing, holding the Second Prince in her arms. With a cold face, she snorted, "Why, do you think I like the First Prince?"

The corners of Lin Jiuqing's mouth twitched, and the expression on his face was indescribable.

"He is just a little fox," Lin Qingqing said unhappily, "If it weren't for the sake of pleasing His Majesty, I wouldn't have anything to do with him. I don't know when he would sell me out, and I might even have to help him count money."

"Fortunately, this didn't happen. If it had happened, and I had become his consort, wouldn't I have shortened my life by ten years?"

As he said that, he looked up at Lin Jiuqing and said, "From the looks of you, do you want to raise the eldest prince? Let me remind you, with your brain, ten of you combined wouldn't be enough for that little fox to play with."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

Lin Jiuqing was a little amused and asked Lin Qingqing: "If you don't like the eldest prince so much, why did you give him such a big gift on his birthday?"

Lin Qingqing snorted, looking a little awkward: "Didn't he say we were friends? I've always been very generous to my friends."

Lin Jiuqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that even after all this, Lin Qingqing still regarded Mo Chengning as a friend. After all, Mo Chengning really played a trick on her and tricked her.

Lin Qingqing seemed to know what Lin Jiuqing was thinking, and shouted angrily: "Don't think so badly of me. Although the eldest prince is cunning and has done some bad things to me, it was me who had no intention of using him first... Besides, he is still a child. Why should I bother with a child?"

Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "You are right, he is still a child, and some things he did were not done properly. Don't take what happened to you to heart. From now on, you can get along as friends. Don't worry, he is very loyal to his friends."

Lin Qingqing snorted and said nothing, nor did she refute Lin Jiuqing's words. She should have agreed.

Lin Qingqing played with the second prince for a while, but the child couldn't play for too long and got tired after a while. Lin Jiuqing called the nanny and asked her to take the second prince downstairs to rest.

Lin Qingqing glanced at the people following the Second Prince, as well as the many extra children's supplies in the yard, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that you are so attentive to this child, much better than his biological mother."

Lin Jiuqing paused and said nothing.

Lin Jiuqing then asked: "You brought the child back, but what did you find out?"

"That day, Lord Zhou went to her palace to arrest someone. How is it? Did she confess?"

Lin Jiuqing looked at her helplessly and said, "My arms are not that long, and I can't reach the former dynasty. Lord Zhou is not someone I can interrogate."

Lin Qingqing sneered: "Why are you pretending? His Majesty dotes on you so much, and with just one word from you, isn't Zhou Chen still your dog and horse?"
