Lin Qingqing has always scoffed at Zhou Ruo's words.

She looked at Zhou Ruo and said coldly, "Is there anything more important than An'er? Those who know you are the imperial concubine, and those who don't know you would think you are some great person who is so busy that you don't even have time to care about your own children."

Zhou Ruo frowned and spoke in a much colder tone: "Xian Fei, I don't care what you think of me, but please maintain the most basic respect for me. In the past, I didn't bother with your arrogance and rudeness, but it doesn't mean you can always offend me."

After all, she was also the imperial concubine appointed by His Majesty himself, and her status was higher than Lin Qingqing. He had been so tolerant of Lin Qingqing for such a long time, but it was only because he knew that Lin Qingqing had a strong background, and even His Majesty could not easily touch her, let alone himself. If it were someone else, Zhou Ruo would not tolerate it.

Lin Qingqing's face also turned cold. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Jiuqing on the side said indifferently: "We will meet each other sooner or later. It's better not to make things too ugly."

She didn't say anything, it was all hypocritical talk from a sister, the words were unpleasant to hear, but they made the two of them quiet down at the same time.

Lin Jiuqing walked over and took the Second Prince out of Lin Qingqing's arms, turned to look at Zhou Ruo, and said lightly: "You came all the way to see An'er, hug him."

Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Jiuqing gratefully and said softly, "Thank you."

She reached out and held the Second Prince in her arms. The child might have recognized her, for he did not cry or make a fuss, but just looked at her with his eyes open.

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips, couldn't help but hold the child and rock him, and coaxed him gently: "An'er, I am your mother, do you remember?"

The baby can't speak, he can only look at you with his big innocent eyes blinking.

Lin Qingqing next to her rolled her eyes and simply turned her head away, trying not to see it.

Lin Jiuqing stood beside Zhou Ruo, watching her coaxing the Second Prince in her arms. After a while, Lin Jiuqing asked Zhou Ruo, "Do you want to take the child back?"

Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Jiuqing in surprise, and even Lin Qingqing, who had her back to them, pricked up her ears.

"Can I?" Zhou Ruo couldn't help but ask.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "You are the child's biological mother, so it is natural that you are the most reliable person to take care of him."

Zhou Ruo: "But... didn't you say that Your Majesty wanted to cultivate a relationship with him?"

"Relationships can be cultivated anywhere, not necessarily in Lan Yin Palace."

"What conditions?" Zhou Ruo asked softly.

Since Lin Jiuqing has brought the child back, it is impossible for her to take the child back easily.

Lin Jiuqing reached out and poked An'er's cheek, then said with a smile, "You know, something happened to me recently. It's not a life-threatening matter, but it has caused a lot of trouble to His Majesty, and it also made me very angry."

"I brought An'er here just to keep him company and relieve my boredom, not to take him away from you." Lin Jiuqing looked at Zhou Ruo and said meaningfully, "I understand your situation. An'er's existence is very important to you. He is your retreat and your hope."

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips and held the child a little tighter.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and continued, "Don't worry, after this is over, I will send An'er back to you, and no one can take her away."

"But the prerequisite is that you truly love An'er and promise me that you will take good care of him."
