Before Cuizhu could think of an excuse, there was a creak and the door was opened from the inside.
Su Jingqin rubbed her eyes and walked out, muttering: "What happened to Cuizhu? Who is here?"
Then he seemed to see Concubine Liu, and was stunned for a moment, "Concubine, why are you here?"
Cuizhu saw Su Jingqin coming out from the side, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and stepped aside.
"I..." Concubine Liu paused, "I heard from the palace officials that you were feeling unwell, so I came here to take a look."
Su Jingqin's hand on the door frame curled up unconsciously, her eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her eyes, "...Oh."
An unspeakable embarrassment and silence spread.
Concubine Liu Guifei looked at Su Jingqin, who was almost as tall as herself, with a bitter smile on her lips, "Jingqin... why don't you invite me to come in and have a seat?"
Su Jingqin said nothing, paused for a few seconds, and turned sideways.
"Cui Zhu, serve tea."
Cuizhu glanced at the slightly embarrassed mother and daughter, feeling inexplicably sad, "Yes, I will go and prepare now."
Concubine Liu Guifei sat in the upper seat, and Su Jingqin put a cloak on her body and sat sideways.
Su Jingqin lowered her eyes and looked at the tea cup. The young green leaves slowly unfolded in the water, and the milky white mist curled up, exuding a faint fragrance.
There were only two people in the palace, her mother and concubine.
Concubine Liu Guifei looked at Su Jingqin, slightly stunned. It seemed that in her memory, Jingqin seemed to be as old as Su Jiu. How could she... grow up without knowing it?
"Jingqin..."
Su Jingqin's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Yeah."
Concubine Liu always felt that she had a lot to say, but when it came to her mouth, for some reason, she couldn't say a word. Her lips moved, and finally she just said: "Are you... okay?"
"Although the weather has gotten a lot warmer these days, you still have to pay attention to what you wear. Although you are in better shape than your imperial brother, you still have to pay attention..."
Perhaps this is the reason why he has taken care of Su Hongxuan all year round. In this regard, once the chat box is opened, it can never be closed again.
When Liu Guifei reacted, she found that the tea in front of her seemed to be a little cold.
Subconsciously glanced at Su Jingqin, "Sorry, concubine..."
"...Well, I will pay attention to it. Concubine Xie is concerned about it."
Maybe she didn't speak much, but Su Jingqin's voice was hoarse than before.
Concubine Liu smiled faintly. Although she couldn't tell, she clearly felt that the gap between the two seemed to be much less than before.
"Then I'll go back first."
Concubine Liu stood up.
Su Jingqin raised her head, looked at Concubine Liu's slightly haggard expression and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
"Um."
Standing at the door, Su Jingqin looked at Concubine Liu's leaving figure, feeling a little lost.
There was movement from behind.
Su Jingqin closed the door and turned around, meeting Xuanyuan Che's worried eyes, "I thought I was past the age where I needed her care.
However, I was still very happy when I just heard her say those words."
Xuanyuan Che looked deeply at Su Jingqin, then quickly walked up to her and hugged her into his arms.
"That's pretty good, isn't it?"
Su Jingqin raised her hands and tightly grasped the hem of Xuanyuan Che's clothes, her body couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to that year when she first met her mother-in-law. She held the ball and watched from a distance as the woman greeted the young man in the wheelchair.
But this time, the woman no longer looked back at her from a distance, but pushed the boy to her side, caring for her in the same gentle and watery tone.
[Ding! Su Jingqin -5, current blackening value: 60.]
**
February 15th, Flower Goddess Festival.
Changchun Palace.
"It's such a big deal that Xiao Jiu'er becomes the flower god. Why did you just inform me now?"
After the foreign envoys left, he originally wanted to return to Shanzhou, but he was reluctant to leave so soon. He shamelessly begged his mother to let him stay and go back after the second princess's wedding ceremony.
But before I had time to be happy, I was dragged by the emperor's uncle to the military camp for a walk, and I just returned to the palace today.
The eunuch knelt down on the ground, shaking like a quail, "Here, in this important place of military camp, even if I want to tell you, the Crown Prince, I am powerless!"
Gu Shenghui groaned and glared at the young eunuch, "You still say that?"
There was no need to open any pot. Now that he heard the word "military camp", his head hurt. He swore that he would never enter the military camp in his life.
The little eunuch was shaking even more violently.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and change my clothes. I want to see Xiao Jiuer!"
Gu Shenghui stood up and kicked the young eunuch.
The little eunuch trembled, "No!"

"Third brother, you are not in good health and cannot enjoy the wind. I will draw it for you when Jiu'er comes back!"
Su Jiu hugged Su Hongxuan's arm and coaxed a child and said, "Third brother, you have to listen to Uncle Chu and take good medicine. If you are afraid of hardship, you can eat some milk tofu. Jiu'er will be back soon."
Su Hongxuan looked at the villain's bright apricot eyes and smiled a little. He raised his hand and put his hand on the villain's little head and rubbed it gently.
"good."
Chu Bai looked at the appearance of the villain from the side, his little heart trembled at the cuteness, how could the ninth princess be so cute, woo woo woo~
"Okay, if you continue to be so reluctant to leave, Old Man Luo may cry."
Su Jingqin looked at the villain holding Su Hongxuan's hand tightly, and felt extremely uncomfortable. She bent down and lifted the villain up, spread her fingers, and wrapped them in her palms, "And, as for your
Even you yourself can’t understand the ghostly talismans’ paintings, what are they painting!”
As she said that, Su Jingqin glanced at Su Hongxuan who was leaning on the couch, and said in a sinister tone: "If someone is not in good health, just lie down, so that Jiu'er won't have to think about you when he's playing."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Su Hongxuan, hugged the little man and turned around to leave.
Su Jiu subconsciously hugged Su Jingqin's neck, and reluctantly waved her little hand to Su Hong, "Third brother, be good, Jiu'er will be back soon~"
Su Hongxuan watched the villain leave, saying nothing from beginning to end, but with a faint smile on his face.
At this time, Xiao Huazi walked in with the medicine. Chu Bai glanced at Su Hongxuan and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine."
Hearing this, Su Hongxuan glanced at Chu Bai lightly, and the smile on his face faded a bit, as if all the doting and smiles just now were just Chu Bai's illusion. Although he was still smiling now, he gave people a feeling.
A kind of indifference and alienation.
"knew."
After being in contact with His Highness the Third for so many days, Chu Bai also understood the Third Prince's temperament. He seemed gentle and polite, but in reality he was very alienated from others. Only in front of the Ninth Princess did he show some emotion.
Thinking that today is the Flower Goddess Festival, Chu Bai was also a little stunned. Counting the days, the boy's training should be almost over.
