Lin Qingqing's expression is written all over her face. When she is unhappy, her face will fall straight down.

She stood up and said unhappily, "It's up to you. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"It's not fun here at all. I want to go back."

Lin Jiuqing was a little stunned as he watched her act one thing after another. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a report from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

Lin Jiuqing swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and Lin Qingqing's footsteps also stopped instantly.

The two of them looked towards the gate of the yard at the same time, and saw Mo Xiao walking in with big strides.

"Qingqing, how was your day? That brat didn't cry or make a fuss, did he tire you out?" Mo Xiao said as he walked inside. There was no airs of an emperor in his words, just like an ordinary husband who came back from outside and couldn't wait to run towards his wife.

When Lin Qingqing heard the first two words, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and she subconsciously took a step forward. Then her brain buzzed and she realized that the "Qingqing" was not "Qingqing", and it was not her who was called at all.

Lin Qingqing suddenly felt bitter and lowered her head slightly.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "No, An'er is very well behaved. He doesn't cry or make a fuss. I don't have to worry about him."

Mo Xiao: "That's good."

Mo Xiao walked closer and looked at Lin Qingqing who was standing aside: "Is Concubine Xian here too?"

Lin Qingqing then raised her head and said softly, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite," Mo Xiao walked to the side and sat down, looking at her, "How come you have time to come to Lan Yin Palace today?"

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "I heard that the Second Prince was brought to Lanyin Palace by Concubine Chen. I was worried about him, so I couldn't help but come to see him. Should I, should I not come..."

"That's not what I meant," Lin Jiuqing said quickly, "Your Majesty is asking you, not blaming you, don't think too much about it."

Lin Jiuqing glanced at Mo Xiao, who raised his eyebrows and then continued Lin Jiuqing's words: "Well, I just asked casually."

Lin Qingqing: “…Is that so.”

Mo Xiao picked up Lin Jiuqing's teacup and took a sip of tea. Then he looked at Lin Qingqing again and suddenly asked, "Have you eaten the cakes I brought you last time?"

Lin Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she said with gritted teeth: "Eat, eat."

Mo Xiao: "Really? How does it taste?"

"...very special," Lin Qingqing's smile was a little stiff, and she avoided looking at Mo Xiao and said softly, "I have never eaten such pastries at home."

"It seems you like it very much. Not bad, you can eat with me in the future."

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he turned his head and instructed the eunuch beside him: "Go, ask the kitchen to prepare a portion for Concubine Xian to take back."

Lin Qingqing's expression suddenly became a little indescribable, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty has people deliver cakes every day, so there is no need to prepare any more."

"Oh, yes, yes," Mo Xiao said seriously, "The cakes sent by the imperial kitchen will not be fresh when they are sent to you. The cakes made by the concubine Chen's small kitchen are better than those made by the imperial kitchen, and they are fresh and hot. You can take some back with you."

Lin Qingqing: "...Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao was satisfied, and tilted his head to ask her: "Then does Concubine Xian have anything else to do?"

Lin Qingqing quickly said, "No, no, I'll take my leave."

Lin Qingqing finally left Lan Yin Palace with a pale face and holding freshly baked cakes in her hands.

Add to that the portion delivered to the house by the imperial kitchen, that makes two portions in total.

The gift from the Emperor cannot be handled casually, and she is already starting to have a headache about how to deal with it.
