After Lin Qingqing received the imperial edict, she immediately had someone clean up a yard and set up a baby room.

Not only that, he also specially arranged many people to take care of the second prince. He met each of them in person and checked their backgrounds before he felt at ease to have them stay by the second prince's side.

After being fully prepared, Lin Qingqing went to Lanyin Palace.

Of course, we were going to pick up the Second Prince, but there was something more important to do: we had to thank Concubine Chen.

When they arrived at Lan Yin Palace, the guard at the door did not make things difficult for them and immediately went in to report. A moment later, Yingyue came out to greet them personally.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine." Yingyue quickly changed her words.

Lin Qingqing was named a noble concubine, and this news had been circulating in the harem for a few days. During these days, people came and went in Lin Qingqing's palace, all to congratulate her.

However, among these people, there was no one from Lan Yin Palace.

Many people speculated that the man from Lanyin Palace and this man were still not getting along, after all, they had conflicts in the past. However, only Lin Qingqing and Lin Jiuqing, the two parties involved, knew that although they were not close, they had already put aside their prejudices.

Yingyue led Lin Qingqing inside, and whispered as they walked: "My master said that the imperial concubine would come to Lanyin Palace in the near future, and asked the servants to prepare early. The imperial concubine really came today."

Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Really? Your master has the ability to predict the future?"

Yingyue smiled: "Your Highness, you are joking."

When the group entered the yard, they saw Lin Jiuqing holding the second prince in his arms, talking to him with his eyes lowered.

Lin Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace. When she reached the side of Concubine Chen, she quickly stopped.

Lin Jiuqing had already seen her and said with a smile: "Greetings, Imperial Concubine..."

"Oh, there's no need for those sour formalities," Lin Qingqing reached out and scooped Lin Jiuqing up, muttering, "You didn't even need to perform formalities when you met His Majesty, so why do you need to do so when you meet me?"

It's not like she hasn't seen it before. When Lin Jiuqing saw Mo Xiao, he wouldn't even lower his head. Sometimes, he wouldn't even move when he was sitting.

Lin Jiuqing smiled: "This is different."

Mo Xiao was her husband, and there was no distinction between her and him, so there was no need for her to be polite. But in front of outsiders, she still had to be polite.

Lin Qingqing didn't understand her beating around the bush and said directly: "No matter how different you are, you don't have to do it when you see me in the future. His Majesty doesn't like me very much to begin with, and I don't want him to hate me even more after seeing you salute me."

Lin Jiuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay."

Lin Qingqing's eyes fell uncontrollably on the Second Prince in Lin Jiuqing's arms. In the end, she couldn't help but whispered, "Um... can I hug him?"

Lin Jiuqing knew that she couldn't help herself, and smiled as he handed the Second Prince to Lin Qingqing: "Hold him, you haven't been here for a long time, he probably misses you."

Sure enough, after An'er saw Lin Qingqing, he stretched out his hands and threw himself into Lin Qingqing's arms.

Lin Qingqing grabbed the child and hugged him, saying with a smile: "My love for you is not in vain."

When Lin Jiuqing saw the two of them being so affectionate, he thought to himself: It seems that my decision was not wrong.

Seeing how much Lin Qingqing cherishes An'er, she will definitely not mistreat this child in the future and will definitely treat him well.

Lin Qingqing held the child and played with him for a while, then looked at Lin Jiuqing again, took a deep breath, stood up straight, and said to Lin Jiuqing: "I came here today to thank you in person."
