Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned to Qingqing and said, "I want to have dinner, let him wait."

"Yes!" Qingqing bowed and watched Zongzheng Xiaoting walk into the front hall with lotus steps. Then she gave a few instructions to the palace maids and slowly walked towards Doctor Chen.

"I've seen Doctor Chen." Qingqing bowed to Doctor Chen, who turned around eagerly, his tone of urgency undisguised.

"Qingqing, has the second princess returned?"

"The princess just came back and is having dinner now." Qingqing lowered her head. "I wonder if there is something wrong with the princess's condition that requires Doctor Chen to come to the palace overnight? If that is the case, then I would like to ask the princess..."

"It's okay. I'll wait here for the princess to finish her meal." Doctor Chen interrupted Qingqing hastily, without any of his usual calmness and composure.

After secretly observing Doctor Chen's condition, Qingqing nodded and said, "Then Doctor Chen, please wait for a moment. The princess is having dinner in the front hall, so you can only wait here."

When Qingqing walked into the front hall, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was sitting on a wooden chair on the left, leisurely drinking the freshly brewed tea, the aroma of tea wafting into her nose.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and pointed to the seat beside him: "Come, sit down and drink tea with me and have a chat."

Qingqing was slightly startled as she looked at the teacup on the round tea table. Under Zongzheng Xiaoting's gaze, she struggled with etiquette for a while and finally sat down. The discomfort all over her body made her fidget.

"Haha, go and close the door. I see that you are usually smart, but this flexibility is a bit stupid." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing and sighed silently. This girl was worried about being caught. This ancient rule was really troublesome.

Qingqing stood up quickly as if she was saved, and closed the palace door properly with her back, which made Zongzheng Xiaoting laugh.

Well, after all, I will leave when I find the chance. If this little girl is changed so easily by me, it will be difficult for her to survive in this harem in the future.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but sigh that it was really difficult to find people who were equal to each other in this strange world.

Qingqing turned her head and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with a frown, and asked anxiously, "Princess..."

"Sit down." Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head soothingly, "It's freezing outside. Winter is coming. Let's warm up."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Qing Qing blink. Did the Second Princess want Doctor Chen to freeze outside on purpose? But, wasn't the Second Princess waiting for Doctor Chen to speak?

He looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting who was sipping tea elegantly with a puzzled look.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting took a sip of tea and said, "Qingqing, you are used to seeing the rise and fall of favors in the harem. Do you know that many people lose their reason because of anxiety, are schemed against, and fail at the last moment?"

"This..." Qingqing frowned, and the freckles on her cheeks moved slightly upwards as she frowned. She looked like a mature little kid, which made Zongzheng Xiaoting feel much better.

With the corners of his mouth raised in a pleased arc, Zong Zheng Xiaoting quietly waited for Qingqing's answer.

Qingqing's lips moved and she nodded thoughtfully.

"Although I have never served other masters, I have seen many masters experience great ups and downs. Qingqing doesn't understand who is scheming against whom, but Princess, you said that they were so anxious that they lost their minds. If I think about it carefully, it seems that there are quite a few such cases." Qingqing looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting seriously, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing's changes, and the arc of joy on his face became more and more curved. She was indeed a smart girl who understood things immediately.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up slowly. "Normally, this Doctor Chen is very shrewd. When I am calm, he becomes more respectful. When I test him, he becomes more secretive. He was the only one who dared to speak out that day, but it was not because he was honest, but because he had other intentions. But until now, he has not revealed a single word. Qingqing thinks, should I rush to investigate him at this moment?"

"Princess, could this be a trap?"

"That depends on the news from the Empress." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled. After the Empress summoned Doctor Chen that day, she gave him a few instructions. Doctor Chen's background should be thoroughly investigated.

Qingqing lowered her eyes, a little uneasy: "But the Empress seems to be dissatisfied with Concubine Rou..."

Are you dissatisfied?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes sparkled. If he had his mother's temperament, and then looked at Concubine Rougui's personality, the protectiveness of the same family members might change because of the intrigues in the harem, but the nature would not change much, otherwise, when his mother occasionally recalled her relatives, she would not be so happy and sad.

The harem is a cannibalistic place. Sometimes, superficial friendliness may not be genuine, and superficial disgust may not be genuine either.

"Qingqing, go and ask Doctor Chen to come in." Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled and said nothing. Her slender fingers were curling the ends of her hair out of boredom. Her eyes were slightly fixed. She wanted to see whether Doctor Chen was a human or a ghost.

At least, she was confident in her ability to peek into someone's expressions and thoughts.

As the door of the hall opened, Doctor Chen turned around anxiously and walked over quickly.
