Lin Qingqing sat here drinking tea and had no intention of leaving.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Lin Jiuqing looked at Lin Qingqing and said, "Would you like to stay and have a quick meal together?"

Lin Qingqing: "Since you sincerely invite me, I won't be polite."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Jiuqing looked at Lin Qingqing and said softly, "You stayed because you were worried about me?"

Lin Qingqing glanced at her sideways, and then said unhappily: "No matter what, I am also a concubine. What's more, you sent the second prince to my lap to raise him. I owe you a favor."

"If those clan members really come here to make trouble, with me here to accompany you, they might be a little more cautious."

After all, she was not like Lin Jiuqing, who was helpless in this palace.

Her father is the Minister of Revenue and the current Regent, with enormous power. No matter how arrogant those relatives are, they have to give her some face.

After hearing her say this, Lin Jiuqing couldn't help but ask, "Protect me for His Majesty?"

After saying this, Lin Jiuqing couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little corny.

But Lin Qingqing blushed, which was rare for her, and turned her head away without saying a word.

Lin Jiuqing: “???”

He didn't deny it!

Lin Jiuqing was once again at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She sighed: "You really love His Majesty very much."

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed a little: "What's the use? He can't see me in his eyes."

Lin Jiuqing couldn't help but say, "Have you ever thought about leaving the palace? Leave him and go find your own life. Maybe you can meet someone who only has eyes for you?"

"I haven't thought about it," Lin Qingqing glanced at Lin Jiuqing and said lightly, "You may not understand me. I am a very persistent person. If I can't get what I want, I will always think about it in my life, and I will never forget it, let alone find a substitute."

She smiled at Lin Jiuqing and said softly, "Your Majesty has already entered my heart. It is probably impossible to get her out of my heart."

After hearing what she said, Lin Jiuqin stopped trying to persuade her and just said to Lin Qingqing, "If you change your mind one day, you can come find me."

Lin Qingqing: "Will you help me?"

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "Just because you protected me today, I will help you."

"Then you are really brave," Lin Qingqing said word by word, "I am not some nameless concubine, I am a noble concubine."

She has such a strong presence in the palace that if she suddenly disappeared one day, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "You just need to tell me whether you want it or not. You don't need to consider anything else."

Lin Qingqing glanced at her and said calmly, "Then just wait, maybe that day will come."

Lin Jiuqing didn't argue with her, but just smiled.

After a while, lunch was served. Lin Qingqing didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and started eating.

After eating a few bites, he stared at Lin Jiuqing and said with a jealous tone: "I thought my small kitchen was already very good, but I didn't expect your chef to be better. No need to think about it, it must have been carefully selected for you by His Majesty, right?"

Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything, just smiled.

Lin Qingqing said: "Your Majesty always gives you the best."

Lin Jiuqing still didn't say anything. If he talked about this kind of thing too much, it would only make Lin Qingqing sad. It would be best to remain silent.
