His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 279 The Prince's Question

How about saying that the imperial palace is the place with the least secrets in the whole world?

Here Concubine Yang had just walked out from Jiangfuxuan when Qin Ao received a note.

There were only a few words on it, but it made him sit there and meditate for a long time.

After a long time, he laughed at himself:
"So all these years... have you never trusted me?"

He thought he had made it obvious enough.

Unexpectedly, even today, she would still be in such a state of anxiety, that she could not even sleep peacefully at night, but she still refused to tell herself.

It's really... unsatisfactory!

This feeling is no different from when he suddenly discovered another face of his father, which surprised him, but also felt a little lost...

Qin Ao sat in the study for a while, and finally got up and walked out.

Concubine Yang went back, and Chen Fulin and her daughter were still in the gazebo in the backyard.

Mother didn't say back, Qin Xi just sat there quietly and continued to take apart the Jiulianhuan in her hand, and talked to her brother by the way.

A small mouth trumpeted non-stop, and the other moved a few times in response from time to time.

"Look, brother, it only took so little time for my sister to untie it, is my sister smart?"

"My brother took longer than me last time, so my sister is the smartest. Don't play with my brother in the future."

Qin Xi said seriously.

Even the father said that they don't have to go to the study of Changxin Palace these days, and they have to take good care of their mother.

As a result, my brother ate breakfast in the morning, and plunged into Jiang Fuxuan's study.

Ugh!
What a nerd...

From now on, Qin Xi can only take care of her younger brother and mother by herself.

Just thinking about it, Qin Xi spotted her father at the entrance of the back garden with sharp eyes.

"Father, father, we are here!"

Qin Xi stood up with a look of joy.

Chen Fulin followed her gaze in surprise.

It's really His Royal Highness?
How did he come here?

Chen Fulin supported the table and wanted to stand up, but Jin Yun hurried forward to support him.

"You are inconvenient, so you don't have to get up."

Qin Ao stepped into the pavilion in two or three steps, seeing this hurriedly stopped her movements, and pushed the person back to the seat with his own hands.

It was the reclining chair that she brought specially when she was talking to Concubine Yang just now.

This chair is quite old, and it was a coincidence that it was begged from the concubine Cui back then.

That year, she saw that Concubine Cui's chair was very comfortable, and she even gave it to herself. Later, when she was pregnant with Qin Xu's brother and sister, the prince thought that the chair looked quite suitable for her, but the craftsmanship was too rough, lest she would sit on it. It fell apart halfway, so I deliberately used good materials to fight again.

Chen Fulin was forced to sit down, but said: "Your Highness, etiquette cannot be discarded."

Qin Ao was almost laughed at by her:

"Rite? Over the years, have you talked about etiquette with Gu?"

He just said that her speech has become more and more weird these days, and now she finally found the reason.

She was setting boundaries with him.

Chen Fulin's face turned pale, yes, for so many years, relying on the "specialness" she slowly discovered with His Royal Highness, she tested his bottom line little by little, and where did she talk about etiquette?

Seeing her expression, Qin Ao calmed down and remembered why he came here.

"Take the little princess down, I have something to say to Chen Liangdi."

Suyun walked in, and seeing that her master had no intention of objecting, she went down with Qin Xi, who was circling her father and mother curiously.

Jin Yun had just been trained by his master, but now he didn't dare to move, but glanced at Chen Fulin.

Seeing her like this, the latter waved his hands helplessly: "You go down too!"

Only then did Jin Yun bless his body, and retreated outside the gazebo.

People are gone.

Only she and the prince were left in the pavilion.

Chen Fulin sat there, looking at the calm lake not far away, and asked:
"What does Your Highness want to say?"

Qin Ao didn't answer immediately, the gazebo was covered with blankets, and he knelt down directly opposite her.

He took the unused cup of tea in front of her and poured it out, filled it up for himself, sniffed it slowly, and took a sip.

Chen Fulin didn't hear the voice for a while, looked away, and said with a smile:
"Is your highness here to drink tea?"

Qin Ao raised his eyes, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes, opened his lips and asked:

"What? Can't you?"

Chen Fulin looked away, and turned to another place again: "Since His Highness did it, there is nothing wrong with it."

The person opposite suddenly sighed deeply: "A Bao, between you and me, do you have to do this?"

Chen Fulin suddenly turned his head and looked at him without speaking.

Qin Ao said again: "It's been seven years, I thought there was no love between us, but these few days you have been distracted and restless at night, tell me, what are you worried about?"

His eyes were burning, as if he must have an answer.

What is she worried about?
He wanted her to tell him herself.

But Chen Fulin looked at him for a long time, but still avoided the question, she smiled:

"What is Your Highness talking about? The concubine is just about to give birth, and I am a little scared."

"Snapped"

He casually threw the teacup in Qin Ao's hand on the tea tray.

"You don't trust me so much?"

Just as Chen Fulin was about to shake his head, he heard the prince continue:

"Because Gu is about to ascend the throne and become the king of a country in Dajing, so you think I will definitely be in the Sangong and Sixth Court, with wives and concubines in groups, right?"

"Do you think that if you become the throne alone, your and my current life will be broken, and you will die in the palace from now on, don't you?"

"Are you even worried that Qin Xu's status and safety will be affected if Gu marries the queen and gives birth to a son-in-law?"

"So from now on, you have to draw a clear line with Gu, you want to get out of the body, don't you?"

Facing the prince's continuous questioning, Chen Fulin was very surprised:
"You...how could you say such a thing? How dare I have such outrageous thoughts."

Qin Ao smiled, with a bit of sarcasm in his smile: "Don't you dare to have it? Or don't you?"

Chen Fulin really wanted to say that she didn't, but when she met those faintly red eyes, she wanted to open her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

"So, that's right, right?"

Qin Ao asked again.

Chen Fulin didn't speak, she acquiesced.

Seeing this, Qin Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally touched the pulse door.

"But you know, how ridiculous are these things you worry about?"

Chen Fulin finally stared at him, his slightly fluttering almond eyes seemed to be asking him: Why am I so ridiculous?
"Looking at the entire Dajing, would any of the emperors and crown princes of the past dynasties live with a concubine in a huge harem for seven years like an ordinary couple?

And who, for the sake of a concubine's room, would reject the courtier's advice to accept wives and concubines again and again?
Still, who will accompany a concubine to return to Ning every year?

Or, who would trust her with his back and just want to have children with a concubine and spend the rest of his life together? "

Being a concubine, she always likes to call herself a concubine these days, it seems to remind her, and also remind him.

Then he asked her to take a good look, what she got and what she enjoyed, is what a concubine can have?
