Lin Qingqing took the second prince away, and the smile on Lin Jiuqing's face faded.

Yingyue came back after sending Lin Qingqing and others back. When she saw Lin Jiuqing like this, she looked a little worried.

Ever since His Majesty said those words to Lin Jiuqing some time ago, Lin Jiuqing has never had a good night's sleep and has been restless all day. Even Lin Qingqing, who had a grim look on her face, could tell that something was wrong.

But Yingyue didn't know how to persuade her, and she had no way to persuade her.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at her and asked, "Have you sent the imperial concubine off?"

Yingyue nodded and said softly, "The Imperial Concubine was very happy. She was smiling when she left. The Second Prince was also very close to her."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "In the future, An'er will definitely not have a bad life."

With a mother like Lin Qingqing, no one in the harem dared to bully An'er. Similarly, no one in the previous dynasty dared to criticize the second prince's origin, after all, the Minister of Revenue would not agree.

Lin Jiuqing sat there for a while, looked at the time, and then said, "Pack some food that your majesty and Ningning like to eat. I'll go to Yinghua Palace to take a look."

These days, Mo Xiao and Mo Chengning have become increasingly busy, and they come home later and later. Many times, they are already asleep when they come back.

Yingyue looked at Lin Jiuqing in surprise, thinking that since Lin Jiuqing took the initiative to go to Yinghua Palace, he should have figured it out, right?

Yingyue hurried downstairs to make arrangements, and soon she had packed the necessary things and accompanied Lin Jiuqing to Yinghua Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of Yinghua Palace, he unexpectedly ran into the Minister of Revenue.

The old man looked a little older, probably because he was tired, and there were many more white hairs on his head. However, his eyes were bright and he looked very energetic.

When he saw Lin Jiuqing, the old man was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head in shame.

Thinking back on the bad things he had done, he felt too ashamed to face Lin Jiuqing.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine!" The old man knelt down and performed a great salute.

Lin Jiuqing's eyes moved, and he took a few quick steps forward and helped the old man up himself: "Sir Shangshu, please get up quickly."

The old man stood up with Lin Jiuqing's strength, took a step back, sighed, and said ashamedly: "This old minister... is too ashamed to face the Empress Chenfei!"

Lin Jiuqing said quickly: "Your Excellency loves his daughter so much that I can understand everything you do. Moreover, I have not been hurt, so you don't have to worry about me."

The old man pursed his lips, looked up at Lin Jiuqing, and after a long while, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Empress Chen!"

Thank her for not holding a grudge and never retaliating against me. Thank her for letting bygones be bygones and giving Lin Qingqing a chance to live in the harem.

Lin Qingqing told her that she got along well with Lin Jiuqing.

What's more, the old man just got the news that his daughter was made a concubine. Not only was she made a concubine, but His Majesty also took the unprecedented step of placing the second prince on Lin Qingqing's lap to raise him.

It was the Concubine Chen who helped with the child's matter. If it weren't for the Concubine Chen, Lin Qingqing would probably not get custody of the child.

On this point, even the Minister of Revenue, a veteran who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, had to admire the broad-mindedness of Concubine Chen.

Lin Jiuqing said softly, "Your Excellency has served the country with all your heart and served His Majesty wholeheartedly. Compared to you, what I have done is not worth mentioning at all. Your Excellency, please don't keep thanking me. I feel ashamed of it."

The old man looked at Lin Jiuqing with some emotion, thinking in his heart: No wonder His Majesty loves me so much.
