Tang Yingqian was delighted when she heard this. It seemed that Xiao Jingyi had already verified it and got the answer she wanted him to believe.

Tang Yingqian pretended to be puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, I am very touched by what you just said, but I don't quite understand what you mean. What does Your Majesty want me to say to you?"

Seeing that Tang Yingqian was still trying hard not to bother him, Xiao Jingyi felt even more touched.

Xiao Jingyi got straight to the point and asked, "How do you feel today, Princess? Is there anything you want to share with me?"

Tang Yingqian's eyes dodged when she heard this, but she refused to say anything.

"No...no, I am fine today, and I have nothing special to say to you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Tang Yingqian was obviously feeling guilty but still unwilling to speak out, Xiao Jingyi sighed.

"Princess, I know you don't want to embarrass me, but who would know your grievances? I have heard about what happened this morning. It was indeed Aunt Lin's fault that you were wronged. Princess, you are too soft-hearted. You are the wife and she is the concubine. She contradicted you like this, you could have punished her. Why did you forgive her and let yourself be wronged?"

After hearing this, Tang Yingqian was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xiao Jingyi to ask her to punish Lin Qingrou.

Moreover, the way he addressed Lin Qingrou changed from the usual intimate "Rou'er" to "Auntie Lin". Xiao Jingyi's attitude was very clear. It seemed that this time he truly believed that what happened today was the result of Lin Qingrou's rebellion and she was wronged.

Although Tang Yingqian was happy in her heart, she knew that Xiao Jingyi liked kind and sensible people, not aggressive ones.

So even if she had the upper hand at the moment, she still had to plead for Lin Qingrou.

The more this happened, the more Xiao Jingyi felt that she was sensible, and Lin Qingrou seemed even more clueless.

Tang Yingqian sneered in her heart. Usually, Lin Qingrou played the role of being gentle and sensible. This time, let her feel the feeling of being wronged and unable to defend herself.

Tang Yingqian pretended to understand, "So the prince was talking about what happened this morning. Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. I don't feel wronged. Sister Lin has always valued the friendship between us. I did neglect her today. It's normal for her to be unhappy. It's just that what she said in a moment of anxiety did make me feel cold. But I know she didn't mean it, and I won't blame her. Besides, she is pregnant now, so it's possible that her emotions are a little unstable. How could I care about her?"

After hearing what Tang Yingqian said, Xiao Jingyi felt that she was more considerate and always considered Lin Qingrou. The balance in his heart had tilted towards Tang Yingqian.

He always used to think that Rou'er was gentle and sensible, but now he feels that is not the case.

Moreover, compared with Tang Yingqian, Lin Qingrou is just a dwarf compared to a giant, the gap is huge.

Judging from what Tang Yingqian has done in the past few days, she is truly considerate.

Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but hold Tang Yingqian in his arms, and said softly: "It's rare for the princess to be so considerate of others. But sometimes, the princess should also think more about herself, and not accommodate others in everything, which would only make herself feel wronged. You kept making excuses for Aunt Lin about what happened today. I believe she made an unintentional mistake and I didn't have the heart to punish her. But what about her? Has she ever said a soft word to you? I'm afraid she still doesn't think she's wrong until now, right?"

"Your Highness, you also know that I have always had a good relationship with Sister Lin. I'm afraid that Sister Lin has become accustomed to the way we get along, and she can't adapt to it for the time being. Besides, we were good friends before, but now I am the princess and Sister Lin is just a concubine. It is inevitable that she will feel unfair. I can understand it."

Xiao Jingyi shook his head helplessly after hearing this. "Princess, it's good to be kind, but you can't be soft-hearted all the time. As a woman in Prince Kang's mansion, you can't have personal emotions. You need to treat everyone equally. Otherwise, how can you manage the affairs of the palace? Although this prince dotes on Aunt Lin, it doesn't mean that he can indulge her to do whatever she wants. The palace has its own rules, and everyone must abide by them. Princess, you can't sacrifice public affairs for personal reasons."

Xiao Jingyi's words were exactly what Tang Yingqian wanted to hear. With Xiao Jingyi's instructions, she could boldly follow the "rules" in the future.

It was Xiao Jingyi who asked her to do this. Even if she really punished Lin Qingrou, he would not be able to say anything as long as she had a legitimate reason.

Tang Yingqian responded obediently, "Your Highness is right. I understand. I will do what a princess should do in the future and will not be so soft-hearted. I will not be biased because of my past relationship with Sister Lin and let others gossip about me."

Xiao Jingyi was very satisfied with Tang Yingqian's answer, "That's right, Princess is so smart, I believe you can do it well."

Tang Yingqian smiled when she heard this, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

As the two were talking, Caiyun whispered outside the door, "Your Highness and Princess, I have something to report."

Tang Yingqian glanced at Xiao Jingyi after hearing this, Xiao Jingyi nodded, and Tang Yingqian then ordered, "Come in."

Caiyun followed the instructions and walked in, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, Miss Yuting is here and said that Aunt Lin is not feeling well and would like you to come over and take a look."

Tang Yingqian frowned when she heard that. Lin Qingrou really had no feelings at all and only used this one trick every time.

Tang Yingqian's little expression did not escape Xiao Jingyi's eyes. The princess had already been wronged because of Lin Qingrou today, and he couldn't let the princess be sad again.

Moreover, he has not yet held Lin Qingrou accountable for what happened today, but now she is trying to deceive him with such a poor excuse. She is really out of her mind.

Xiao Jingyi said coldly, "If you feel uncomfortable, go find Doctor Ding. What problem can I solve? Tell Yuting to go back and tell Aunt Lin not to bother me and the princess for such unimportant things in the future, otherwise I will punish her."

Caiyun was delighted when she heard this and quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

Tang Yingqian, who was standing by, was also secretly delighted, but a worried look appeared on her face.

"Your Highness, will your sister be sad if you say that? After all, she is pregnant now. Could it be that something is wrong? Otherwise, Your Highness, you should go and take a look?"

Xiao Jingyi disagreed and said, "These days, I have been asking Doctor Ding to take care of her. Her pregnancy is stable, what can happen? She is so anxious to ask me to go over, it's nothing more than worrying that I will blame her after knowing what happened today, so she is anxious to explain. I already know what happened today, there is no need to listen to her anymore, and there is no need for me to go. Don't worry, Princess, with Doctor Ding here, she will be fine."
