Ever since the last incident with the clan member, Mo Chengning had great trust in Lin Jiuqing. When he heard his mother asking him to fill his stomach first, he thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

Yingyue moved quickly, tidied up the documents on the table and put them aside, then placed the prepared hot meals on the table, all of which were Mo Chengning's favorite dishes.

Mo Chengning took a look and his appetite immediately increased. He walked forward, picked up the chopsticks and started eating without paying any attention to the ministers who were still kneeling on the ground.

When he ate this, all the ministers below opened their eyes wide.

One was dissatisfied and couldn't believe that the Crown Prince had just abandoned them and ate without caring about anything. The other was that they were also very hungry, and seeing the Crown Prince eating so happily, their stomachs also started to get mad.

Everyone in this hall has been hungry since morning. Those with stronger willpower are still fine, but those with weaker bodies have already felt dizzy.

Seeing Mo Chengning eating sweetly, Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Mo Chengning was very obedient and immediately slowed down his eating.

Lin Jiuqing was satisfied, then turned to look at the ministers kneeling in the hall.

The ministers who had previously focused their attention on Mo Chengning, now seeing Lin Jiuqing looking at them, immediately straightened their backs and stared at Lin Jiuqing with very angry eyes.

This Concubine Chen was a demon concubine in everyone's mind. Because of her, His Majesty's three palaces and six courtyards became decorations, and those concubines all became mascots. For so many years, the harem only had one child, the Second Prince.

In addition, he had previously interfered in the affairs of the previous dynasty and forced two clan members to death in the blink of an eye, which also made the court officials very dissatisfied.

Now that they were facing this man again, the court officials felt even more dissatisfied.

Lin Jiuqing took in all their dissatisfaction, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and finally spoke: "My Lords, there is no need to be polite. Please stand up."

Everyone rolled their eyes and said there was no need to be polite, but they made them kneel for such a long time.

As soon as one of them stood up, he couldn't wait to express his dissatisfaction to Lin Jiuqing.

"Empress Chen, this is Yinghua Palace, and concubines from the harem are not allowed to enter without permission." The man spoke in a sonorous and stern tone.

Lin Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "This lord looks a little unfamiliar, I have never seen him before."

The man immediately raised his chin and said with a somewhat proud tone, "I was transferred from the local area to the capital last month. Naturally, the queen has never seen me."

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "No wonder, this is your first time entering Yinghua Palace, and you don't know the rules of Yinghua Palace yet."

The man was stunned: "What?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled, his eyes swept across the faces of the others, and said slowly: "Everyone knows that I can enter the Yinghua Palace whenever I want."

After a pause, his tone rose a little: "Right?"

Upon hearing this, the other ministers lowered their eyes and did not look at Lin Jiuqing.

This issue was not the first time it was brought up. Last time, His Majesty made it clear that this was a privilege he gave to the Concubine, and no one could change that.

When that person saw that everyone was hanging their heads and no one stood up to speak, he knew that what the Concubine said was true, and he also realized that he had become the unpopular first bird to speak out.

He immediately lowered his head and said, "I am unaware of this matter and I have offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
