Zhou Ruo thought that the person sitting in this position must be very important to make His Highness value him so much.

Could it be that he is Your Highness’s husband? However, I have never heard of His Highness becoming a disciple. His Majesty taught him personally.

What's more, what kind of gentleman dares to read a storybook under the emperor's nose?

Zhou Ruo was filled with doubts, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

She looked at Mo Chengning's little face and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't know you couldn't touch these."

Mo Chengning looked at her steadily: "Do you know now?"

Zhou Ruo nodded quickly: "I understand."

Mo Chengning hummed and said calmly: "Remember what I say, don't touch anything that's not yours, no matter if it's something or a person."

Zhou Ruo: "...Yes, I remember it."

Mo Chengning ignored her, picked up the book on the ground, and continued to read.

Zhou Ruo didn't dare to make any move now. He just stood there blankly and silently left the Yinghua Palace half an hour later.

After Zhou Ruo left, Mo Xiao looked up at Mo Chengning sitting there, and couldn't help but curling up the corners of his lips.

This brat warned Zhou Ruo over and over again, because he was afraid that Zhou Ruo would steal his mother's position, so he was protecting his shortcomings.

However, Mo Xiao was very happy. This boy protected his mother so much that he would have one more person to protect Lu Jiuqing in the future.

In the Yinghua Hall, the father and son tacitly understood each other, each looking through the papers on his desk.

Lu Jiuqing took Xiao Mo and Ying Yue out of the palace. As soon as they left the palace gate, they saw Chen Yuan waiting for her outside the palace gate.

A smile appeared on Lu Jiuqing's face involuntarily: "A Yuan, why are you here?"

The iceberg on Chen Yuan's face melted, and she quickly walked a few steps to Lu Jiuqing: "Of course I'm here to take my sister home."

Lu Jiuqing was stunned, feeling sour for a moment, and held Chen Yuan's hand tightly.

Back then, Lu Jiuqing was alone. The Lu family couldn't go back, the Tang family wanted to stay away, and Mo Xiao couldn't touch him. That house was the escape route she prepared for herself, and it was also the only home for her and Chen Yuan.

They were like two stray puppies, helping each other move forward, and then found a place for themselves to stay and call that place home.

Even after so long, that house was the only place where Lu Jiuqing felt a sense of belonging.

That was a place that only belonged to her, and had nothing to do with the Lu family, Tang Xiuyan, or Mo Xiao.

Lu Jiuqing held Chen Yuan's hand and said with a smile, "Well, let's go home."

Chen Yuan glanced at the huge team behind Lu Jiuqing and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you evacuate the palace?"

Lu Jiuqing looked a little uncomfortable: "Well...he said that the house had been vacant for a long time and lacked many daily necessities. He was afraid that I would not be used to it, so he brought all the things I am used to."

Chen Yuan didn't buy it and snorted: "It's unnecessary."

"Does he think that I, Chen Yuan, am still the same pauper after all these years and don't even have money to buy daily necessities for my sister?"

The corner of Lu Jiuqing's mouth twitched, knowing that Chen Yuan and Mo Xiao were not going to deal with it, so he quickly patted his hand reassuringly: "He didn't think so, he was just afraid that I wouldn't get used to the new one."

Chen Yuan: "I think he is full of tricks. If he doesn't play tricks, he can't live."

Why are you afraid that Lu Jiuqing won't get used to anything else? Isn't it because you want to take over everything in Lu Jiuqing's life? He wished that the air Lu Jiuqing breathed had his Mo Xiao's name written on it.

Chen Yuan couldn't stand this.
