Lin Qingqing is sincere and not a bit fake.

No matter what grudges she had with Lin Jiuqing in the past, at this moment, she was sincerely grateful to Lin Jiuqing.

She had been in the palace for quite a while, but His Majesty had never been to her palace. There were hundreds of people serving her in the palace, but she still felt lonely. She went to the Queen Mother every day, not only to thank her for her protection, but also because she had nowhere else to go, and only the Queen Mother was willing to see her and talk to her.

As for the other concubines in the harem... before the incident, she liked the hustle and bustle, and she was always surrounded by people when she went out. But after the incident, she felt the warmth and coldness of human nature, and finally understood that those concubines who used to hold her in high esteem did not really care about her at all, and they were just doing it for her father's sake.

After understanding all this, Lin Qingqing reduced her socializing and slowly learned to be alone. But she was lonely in the deep palace after all, and she was just an ordinary person.

Now, Lin Jiuqing sent this child to her, which was like giving her a life-saving piece of wood in the deep palace. It could save her from danger in every way.

Lin Qingqing looked at Lin Jiuqing and said word by word: "Anyway, thank you! I owe you a big favor. If I can be of use to you in the future, I will never refuse."

Lin Jiuqing reached out his hand to support her and said softly, "I can see that you really love this child, so I gave him to you to raise. You don't have to thank me. Raising this child well is the best way to repay me."

"Don't worry, I will treat him as my own son and do my best to raise him into adulthood." Lin Qingqing said solemnly.

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "That's good."

Lin Qingqing stared at Lin Jiuqing for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "I can see that you really like this child. You can obviously keep him by your side and raise him yourself, so why did you give him to me?"

Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, then said: "You know my body, a child of this age needs someone to take care of him, and I am afraid that I am not strong enough to take good care of him."

"What's more... His Majesty favors me alone, which has caused resentment among the people in the harem. If he gives the second prince to me, wouldn't the concubines in the harem be so angry that they die?"

After hearing this, Lin Qingqing thought about it and asked, "Is it because of... the eldest prince?"

Without waiting for Lin Jiuqing to speak, Lin Qingqing continued, "You don't have to hide it from me. I can see that the eldest prince will definitely be raised by you in the future."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.

As soon as Concubine Chen entered the palace, the eldest prince became particularly close to her and had been in contact with her when she was still in Chuxiu Palace. Now, there is a residence exclusively for the eldest prince in Lanyin Palace, and even the eldest prince's birthday party is held in Lanyin Palace.

The only difference between Mo Chengning and Lin Jiuqing is a legitimate status.

Lin Jiuqing was amused by Lin Qingqing, and then said: "Since you have seen it, I won't hide it. You are right, Ningning will be raised by me."

"Then how..."

"It's just that the time has not come yet," Lin Jiuqing said softly, "Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a few years, and his foundation is not yet solid enough. Now he has to deal with border affairs, so he can't spare the time."

"Once the news about the eldest prince is announced, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country. At that time, the court will be in turmoil, causing Your Majesty to be in a state of panic."
