There was deathly silence in Yinghua Hall.

All the ministers knelt on the ground, lowered their eyes slightly, and protested with their silence. At the front, only Zhou Chen and Minister Lin stood. The two of them folded their arms across their chests and closed their eyes slightly, as if they were asleep.

On the dragon throne above, Mo Chengning sat upright, but with his eyes slightly lowered, it was unclear whether he was asleep or thinking.

In short, the entire hall was terribly silent except for the sound of everyone's breathing.

And it was at this time that Lin Jiuqing walked into the hall.

Lin Jiuqing's voice was so overwhelming that he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the door.

All the ministers opened their eyes, and their faces changed instantly after seeing Lin Jiuqing. One of them couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why is the Concubine Chen here?"

In one sentence, it was earth-shattering, like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan, exploding in an instant.

Zhou Chen and Minister Lin, who were standing at the front, opened their eyes immediately. After seeing clearly that it was indeed Lin Jiuqing standing at the door, they looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly began to hang in their throats.

At this time, Mo Chengning, who was sitting on the dragon throne, stood up and walked quickly towards Lin Jiuqing, saying with some disapproval in his voice: "Why are you here?"

Lin Jiuqing reached out and touched Mo Chengning's head, his eyes full of heartache. He did not answer Mo Chengning's words, but looked at the civil and military officials in the court.

Zhou Chen and Minister Lin were the first to react. They walked through the crowd and quickly came to Lin Jiuqing, saying respectfully, "Your humble servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."

If it were any other time, Lin Jiuqing would definitely not accept this gift and would have helped the person up himself, but today he just stood there and calmly accepted the gift from the two men.

Until Lin Jiuqing shouted, the two men continued to kneel.

As time passed, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and Lin Jiuqing's expression became increasingly cold.

Finally, the group of kneeling ministers behind him reacted and stood up and knelt down towards Lin Jiuqing: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."

Lin Jiuqing then bent down and personally helped Zhou Chen and Lin Shangshu up, saying in a gentle voice, "No need to be polite, both of you. Please stand up quickly."

Zhou Chen and Minister Lin stood up, looked at each other again, and then stood silently behind Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing ignored the group of kneeling ministers, held Mo Chengning's hand, walked through the hall, and came to the chair. She pressed Mo Chengning to sit on the dragon chair and said softly, "You've been busy all day, are you tired?"

Ever since Lin Jiuqing appeared, Mo Chengning's eyes have been on her. When he heard her words, he quickly shook his head: "Not tired."

Lin Jiuqing touched his head and said, "You must be hungry, right?"

Mo Chengning: "Not hungry..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled uncontrollably twice. Mo Chengning quickly raised his hands to cover his stomach, with an embarrassed look on his face.

He was more patient than other children. He didn't cry or make a fuss after not eating for such a long time, and he could confront the ministers without changing his expression. However, he was still growing up, so he felt uncomfortable when he was hungry.

Lin Jiuqing smiled, asked Yingyue to put the food that had been prepared long ago on the table, and whispered, "These are all your favorites, eat quickly."

Mo Chengning's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he subconsciously turned to look at the minister who was still kneeling on the ground, with a hesitant look on his face.

Lin Jiuqing stretched out his hand and pulled his head back: "Don't worry about anything, fill your stomach first."

"As for them... they'll be fine as long as I'm here."

She is a mother, and her children are the bottom line.
