The next day.

Lu Qin was brought here crying. Zong Zhengchen had just finished feeding Wei Xi when Yun Ying came over with her crying.

“Your Majesty…”

Yunying didn't expect the prince to be there.

In the past, at this time, the prince would have already gone to take care of military affairs.

As soon as she saw the prince, she subconsciously hugged the crying Lu Qin tightly, held the back of the child's head, gently pressed her into her arms to reduce her crying, and tried to run away.

Because Zong Zheng Luqin is the child of Zong Zheng Li and Qin Jiaojiao, the prince has been disliking her since he knew the truth.

Zong Zhengchen hugged Wei Xi and suddenly spoke:

"Now that you're here, why are you leaving?"

Yunying choked slightly.

She was afraid that when the prince saw Lu Qin, he would think of the Li Wang couple, the princess and Zi Ye, and become unhappy...

"No, nothing... Lu Qin just kept crying. She probably missed the princess. The princess is not here, and I want her to stay with Wei Xi."

"These two sisters have been together since they were born. Lu Qin and Wei Xi will behave better when they are together..."

She observed the man's expression and spoke cautiously.

Zong Zhengchen had a cold expression on his face, and when he looked at Zong Zheng Luqin, his eyes were calm and peaceful, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Indifferently:

"It's normal for a child to cry. You don't have to comfort her all the time, or she'll get spoiled."

Yun Ying: “…”

I didn't dare to talk back, so I had to bite the bullet and put Luqin into the crib.

Lu Qin lay down and kept crying.

Crying non-stop.

Cry loudly.

Wei Xi blinked her bright and lively eyes, nestled obediently in her father's arms, and looked at her crying sister with confusion. She looked curious, as if she was thinking:

Why does she keep crying?

"Xi'er."

"Ah?" Wei Xi turned his head back.

Zong Zhengchen looked at her with loving eyes and said:

"He's almost six months old, and it's time for him to start talking. When will he learn to call me mom?"

“Hmm…Hmm…”

Wei Xi pouted her little mouth, bit her fleshy teeth twice, and shouted a few unclear words, but no one knew what she was saying.

"Call me mother, mother, dear."

"Mmmmm... ah! I want grandma~~"

She waved her little hands, held the man's face, licked his cold cheek, and began to suck it.

Zong Zhengchen's brows were relaxed. Not only was he not angry, but his expression was full of indulgence and love for his daughter.

Yun Ying stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene, then looked at Lu Qin, who was crying and gasping for breath in the cradle, and sighed helplessly in her heart:

well--

Her biological parents ignored her and didn't care about her.

The sins committed by parents implicate innocent children.

"Wow! Wow..."

Lu Qin cried and hiccuped, "Wuwuwuwa..."

Zong Zhengchen saw it and frowned, "Shut up."

Scold in a low voice.

Then, the crying became louder: "Wow!"

“Don’t cry!”

The low roar mixed with majesty frightened Lu Qin. Her crying voice choked for a moment, and her pair of red eyes looked at him innocently and aggrievedly. She pouted her mouth, wanting to cry but not daring to, and tears fell one by one.

A six-month-old child already knows how to read adults' facial expressions and listen to their tone of voice.

Lu Qin was frightened.

She didn't dare cry, and tried hard to hold it back. Her face flushed, and her tearful eyes looked clean, clear, pitiful, and cautious.

She just looked at Zong Zhengchen with great grievance.

Children's eyes are the cleanest, like frost on the top of a mountain, not polluted by anything, pure and flawless, just like a clear lake that can reflect all the evil in the world.

Zong Zhengchen met those eyes and for some reason, his breathing became slightly choked.

like……

What unforgivable thing did he do?

She pursed her lips tightly and threatened:

"Don't look at me like that! Your biological father is Zong Zhengli, and your biological mother is Qin Jiaojiao. They don't want you, so I am merciful for sparing your life. If you dare to cry again, I will throw you to the outskirts of the city to feed the wolves."

Lu Qin shrank her neck, raised her nose, and twitched, feeling aggrieved but not daring to cry.

Just looking at him like this.

Look at him.

Zong Zhengchen couldn't stand it anymore. "Yun Ying, take her away! You are not allowed to stay with Xi'er anymore."

"yes."

Yunying walked forward and just picked up Luqin, she heard a small, soft voice uttering an unclear word.

explain:

"father……"

Yun Ying was shocked and looked down in shock at Lu Qin in her arms.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

Was it Lu Qin who spoke just now?

Lu Qin clutched her clothes tightly with her little hands, sniffed her red nose, looked timidly at the man, and moved her little mouth:

“Daddy…”

Zong Zhengchen froze immediately:

"What did you call me?!"

Before Xier learned to call mother, Lu Qin had already learned to call father, and he called it to him.

A strong sense of weirdness surged in my heart.

He walked forward slowly, "Were you calling me just now?"

Lu Qin shrank her neck, a little afraid of him, but her eyes were full of longing. She envied her sister Wei Xi who was doted on by her father, and longed to get her father's attention.

But she was afraid...

Yunying felt uncomfortable when she saw this.

King Li made a mistake and the child was innocent.

She couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Lu Qin is just a child. She doesn't know anything. Since she was born, she has been raised by the princess herself. She has feelings for you. In her eyes, you are her biological father!"

It's not a pleasant feeling to live under someone else's roof.

Although the child is still so young, she has already noticed the difference between herself and her sister. She knows how to be careful, cautious and to read adults' expressions.

"When the princess was alive, she took good care of Lu Qin and showed her love and care. I believe she also regarded this child as her own flesh and blood."

She raised Lu Qin with great difficulty until she was half a year old.

She has feelings for the child and wants to plead for him, hoping that the prince can give some love to the child.

Zong Zhengchen had mixed feelings:

"I shouldn't have kept you, but I... couldn't bring myself to do it..."

"Master! Big deal!"

Just at this moment, Han Feng walked quickly outside the courtyard gate, looking anxious.

"We received a secret letter from the Tiandi Escort Agency outside the palace, saying it was sent by the princess!"
