The queen was unforgiving and criticized Mo Xiao in various ways, but when it was time to eat, the table was filled with Mo Xiao's favorite food.

Lu Jiuqing sat across from the two of them, eating quietly with chopsticks. He listened to the bickering between mother and son the whole time, and couldn't help but bring a smile to his lips.

very nice.

Lu Jiuqing thought, this is the real family.

Mo Xiao is lucky to have a queen mother who loves him very much.

Mo Xiao was originally talking to the queen, but when he saw the smile on Lu Jiuqing's lips from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The queen threw a chopstick dish into his bowl: "Eat, why are you dazed?"

Mo Xiao had a meal and ate obediently.

There was a lingering pain in his heart.

He probably knew why Lu Jiuqing was laughing, but it was precisely because he knew that he felt even more distressed.

Lu Jiuqing has never received any sincere love from her relatives since she was a child.

When she was explaining the funeral arrangements to herself that night, she counted over and over again and found that only Chen Yuan, the little wild dog she picked up, could be entrusted with her care.

Mo Xiao no longer had any intention of joking, and even the food he usually loved was tasteless.

The queen looked at him and then at Lu Jiuqing, feeling a little annoyed that iron could not turn into steel.

As soon as the meal was finished, the queen kicked Mo Xiao out: "How can you be so old and stay in your mother's harem all day long? Get out and do things."

Mo Xiao: "..."

Although he is a prince, it is always not good to stay in the harem for a long time.

When leaving, he glanced at Lu Jiuqing.

Lu Jiuqing lowered his head and did not dare to react.

After the people left, the queen looked at Lu Jiuqing who was standing on the side: "Will you come with me to the imperial garden?"

Lu Jiuqing nodded.

The two of them left the queen's palace and arrived at the imperial garden.

The royal gardens are so beautiful that they are unparalleled by others. Lu Jiuqing walked along and couldn't help but stop several times.

The queen looked at her: "Isn't the scenery nice?"

Lu Jiuqing: "Very good."

"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I'll get tired of seeing it every day and every year." The queen said calmly.

Lu Jiuqing fell silent and said nothing.

The queen looked at her expression: "Do you like the palace?"

Lu Jiuqing hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to answer the queen's question.

The queen in front of her is Mo Xiao's biological mother...

Lu Jiuqing took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at the queen, and said softly: "No matter how good the palace is, it is not what I want."

"No matter how luxurious the cage is, it is still a cage."

The people in the cage can only look out through the cracks day after day, and can no longer see the vast sky outside.

The queen was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

This was probably the first time she had shown such a genuine smile to Lu Jiuqing.

After a while, she stopped laughing, looked at Lu Jiuqing, and said softly, "I have heard this before."

Lu Jiuqing was stunned and looked at the queen with some confusion.

"That old friend is just like you, scorning the palace that everyone flocks to, and avoiding certain people in the palace like snakes and scorpions." The queen said leisurely, "She can obviously have everything that others dream of, but she just doesn't want to don't want."

"She wants to be free and sincere."

After the queen finished speaking, she looked at Lu Jiuqing with extremely complicated eyes: "But she doesn't know that not everything in this world can be as she wishes."

"Sometimes, living is more important than anything else, what do you think?"

Lu Jiuqing didn't know if the queen was praising her with her words.

She pursed her lips, and after a while, she said: "Of course living is the most important thing, but sometimes, certain people and certain things are more important than life."
