Jia Yuanchun's behavior seemed very strange to outsiders. As an imperial concubine, her son was her lifelong support, but she treated the seventh prince so harshly, which was really puzzling.

But Jia Zheng disagreed. He thought that Jia Yuanchun did nothing wrong and if she was not taught strictly, how could she become successful?

Jia Baoyu has been smart and clever since he was a child, but he just doesn't focus on studying for the imperial examinations. In addition, he is doted on by his elders, which makes him even more lawless.

Jia Zheng thought that if it weren't for his strict teaching and fear in him, there was no telling what Jia Baoyu would look like now.

But he did not dare to judge the emperor casually, so he could only sigh and say, "It's all because the queen has not received the emperor's grace."

He didn't think it was Jia Yuanchun's problem at all.

Jia Zheng knew that the Seventh Prince was not born to Jia Yuanchun, but he did not think of anything else at all. He just felt that the Emperor's move was making a big fuss out of nothing.

If everyone was like this, wouldn't all the children in the world grow up to be devils?

Grandmother Jia's face was gloomy. She glared at him unhappily. She was very angry at his old-fashioned thinking and said impatiently, "We can't interfere in the affairs of the palace. The emperor's mind is hard to predict. I just hope that the emperor can change his mind and forgive the queen."

This touched Jia Zheng's heart. From the beginning to the end, he had never thought of any way to help Jia Yuanchun overcome this difficulty. "Mother, don't worry too much about this. It would be bad if you get hurt."

After saying that, he retreated respectfully, as if what they had just discussed was someone else's business.

When Jia Baoyu's incident happened, everyone in the mansion looked anxious, whether sincerely or falsely. But Jia Zheng was different. He seemed as if nothing had happened and even advised Lady Jia to take it easy. This really made people angry.

It was like this again now. How could Grandmother Jia not be angry?

I really don't know how she could have given birth to such a conservative and old-fashioned son.

In the Linhuai Palace, Lin Chengyu suddenly sneezed. Xuan Zheng anxiously touched the temperature of his forehead. The temperature of his hand was normal, but he was still a little worried. He put his forehead against Lin Chengyu's and didn't feel anything unusual.

"Why would this happen?" Xuan Zheng thought about it and thought that maybe he had been playing around at night recently and had exhausted himself. He felt distressed and said, "It's all my fault."

Lin Chengyu said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Why do you blame me?"

Xuan Zheng held the person on his lap like a baby, and anyone could hear the annoyance in his tone. "If I hadn't dragged you to make trouble at night, you wouldn't be like this. In short, it's all my fault."

"Oh..." Lin Chengyu dragged out the tone, "In that case, then we shouldn't..."

But before he could finish his words, Xuan Zheng said hurriedly: "No!"

Although Lin Chengyu is very strong, in Xuan Zheng's heart, she is just a treasure that needs to be taken care of all the time. He thought about it and reluctantly took a step back. "At most, I can do it less often in the future."

Lin Chengyu was delighted, but still looked embarrassed. "Alas, this is the only way."

To be honest, the frequency of Xuan Zheng's mischief is a bit too much to bear.

Even though Lin Chengyu had a different physique from that of an ordinary person, she was often forced to surrender, crying and being beaten and scolded, just hoping that he would restrain himself.

But Xuan Zheng always looks pitiful, as if he hasn't had enough to eat for eight hundred years, which makes people feel soft-hearted.

Seeing Xuan Zheng looking reluctant but annoyed at this moment, Lin Chengyu couldn't help laughing in her heart and couldn't help showing it on her face.

Xuan Zheng pretended to be angry, "Are you so happy just like this?"

Lin Chengyu realized that he was too happy. He didn't panic. He smiled and kissed Xuan Zheng's face, making him laugh before saying, "Your Highness is so gentle and considerate, which naturally makes people happy."

The soft and rosy lips separated at the touch, Xuan Zheng couldn't help but chase after him, "Little rascal."

The two of them had enough of the fight. Lin Chengyu was a little out of breath, and a blush crept up her face, casting a layer of light on her dark, clear eyes. "Truce, truce."

"I'll spare you first, and we'll talk when I get back tonight." If the emperor hadn't sent them to the palace, Xuan Zheng would have never withdrawn his troops. "Brother, what a fool! He sent us to the palace for no reason."

It takes too much time.

Lin Chengyu laughed a few times, "If your brother heard this, he would be so angry that his beard would stand up."

In fact, the emperor had no important business in summoning them to the palace. He just wanted us to have dinner with him and chat with him.

Eunuch Wu had been waiting outside the hall early. When he saw the two of them coming hand in hand from afar, his face immediately broke into a smile and he stepped forward to greet them.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you are finally here." Eunuch Wu bowed and led the two of them inside. "If you don't come soon, the Emperor will probably send someone to urge you."

The emperor couldn't help but feel sour when he saw Lin Chengyu being protected by Xuan Zheng like his own child, but he didn't have the courage to say anything.

Eunuch Wu's words hit the nail on the head. The emperor snorted and said, "Nonsense, who urged them? It's up to them to come or not. I don't care."

Xuan Zheng handed Lin Chengyu's cloak to the maid beside him, "My emperor doesn't care about it, but Chengyu and I miss the food here very much. Even if you chase us away today, we won't leave."

What a jerk! The emperor frowned and said, "It's warm today, why did you bring a cloak with you? Are you sick?"

Lin Chengyu slapped Xuan Zheng's hand away and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm not sick."

Since she is not sick, why is a grown man acting like a weak little girl, wearing a cloak when going out in such weather? The emperor really doesn't understand what they are doing.

Xuan Zheng wanted to hold Lin Chengyu's hand, but he was not angry when it was pushed away. He smiled in a worthless manner and said, "Chengyu is weak, so he should be carefully taken care of."

What he said made sense, but...weak body? Was he really talking about Lin Chengyu?

The emperor felt that he had asked so many unnecessary questions. "Serve the food, serve the food. After they finish eating, send them away immediately."

After dinner, the emperor and Xuan Zheng had something to discuss, and they were all topics that Lin Chengyu was not interested in. Xuan Zheng was afraid that he would be bored, so he asked someone to accompany him out for a walk, "I'll come to see you later."

"Ah."

The emperor simply couldn't bear to watch, and after Lin Chengyu left, he said, "Is it so rare?"

"Chengyu is my life." Xuan Zheng pretended to be a mentally twisted and perverted person again, which made the emperor have a heart attack. He wanted to curse, but seeing the emperor like this, he couldn't say anything.

After the two of them finished discussing the business, Xuan Zheng was about to look for Lin Chengyu when he saw the eunuch accompanying Lin Chengyu hurried back and said, "Your Majesty, Prince, Marquis... The Marquis is missing."

"what?!"
