But he still resisted the urge to tilt his head.

He just slightly increased the strength of his hands on her round shoulders.

He looked straight ahead, and if one looked closely, one could still see that Xiao Linting's body was somewhat stiff.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has always regarded Your Highness as her own child. If you fail to welcome him once, I'm sure Her Royal Highness the Princess will not blame Your Highness."

When Jiang Qingqing heard this, she stood firm, but still looked up at Xiao Linting's profile anxiously.

From the handsome profile of the emperor's uncle, one can clearly see his excellent and high nose bridge and his deep phoenix eyes.

In the past five years, although there have been many handsome young men in the capital, none of them has the temperament as righteous as the emperor's uncle.

I can't describe the righteousness.

Looking at the handsome face of the emperor's uncle, she was distracted for a moment.

Xiao Linting couldn't hear what Jiang Qingqing was thinking. He just saw her looking at him infatuatedly out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

He slowly turned his head, and the two people's eyes suddenly met.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Qingqing felt a sudden panic in her heart and quickly looked away, looking at the situation in the front hall in front of the screen.

With the revelation of the eldest princess, she is the most noble woman except Empress Xu, who is the mother of the country.

The eldest princess strode into the front hall, not giving Madam Chi any chance to react. She pointed at Madam Chi and pointed out that she was slow to react, did not leave the main seat, and did not respect her as the eldest princess.

"So you are the wife of Marquis Nanguan. I heard Ah Ling tell me about you not long ago. When I came, you not only refused to give up the main seat, but also sat on the main seat and looked at me in a dignified manner. What's the matter? Do you think you are the most powerful person in Kyoto because of your son's excellent performance in the Imperial College?"

The eldest princess gave a sharp rebuke.

Her intimidating appearance without even getting angry is enough to make people afraid of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Now the eldest princess deliberately maintained her most honorable status and scolded Madam Chi.

Mrs. Chi, who had never been exposed to the bigger world, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she could not stand up.

The eldest princess saw that the other party was guilty and afraid, but she still took another step forward. She looked at Madam Chi with cold eyes and a self-deprecating smile on her red lips.

"Or does Madam Chi think that I have no sons and no one to take over my family? But you have three sons, so you look down on me!"

The last sentence had a rhetorical question and an upward tone, making the scene seem aggressive.

The only noble lady in the palace that Mrs. Chi had ever met was Empress Xu.

Empress Xu was well-known in Tianqi for her gentleness and virtue, so the pressure on her getting along with her was not particularly great.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess is different. She is the emperor's elder sister. Her husband who passed away was a meritorious general who held military power. The identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess is not just talk!

At this moment, Madam Chi could only bite the bullet and stand up. The maid beside her half lifted her up, half supported her, and she left the main seat in embarrassment and stood aside, at a loss as to what to do.

He even lost the arrogance he had just shown off in the front hall about how good his relationship with Princess Dunming was.

Although Jiang Qingqing couldn't see the picture clearly through the screen, she couldn't help laughing just by listening to the conversation.

In order to prevent herself from exploding, she had no choice but to cover her mouth with her hands and stand obediently in Xiao Linting's arms.

From Xiao Linting's perspective, the little guy looked like a little hamster, the kind of furry and soft little hamster, with its little hands covering its mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons.

If possible, he would like to pamper her for the rest of her life.

The front hall was a scene of grandeur like a Shura field. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess sat in the main seat, she was not sitting in the place where Madam Chi had just sat, but in another chair.

Obviously, this was to tell everyone openly that she, the eldest princess of Tianqi, disliked the wife of the Marquis of Nanguan.

Mrs. Chi and Chi Dao's faces suddenly turned embarrassed.

Jiang Qingqing saw that the Chi family had been tortured to a point where they were almost exhausted. She was just about to go out to save the situation, but the eldest princess spoke again.

"What are you doing, darling?"

Gan Yuan had just heard the prince ask the maids to keep a unified tone to the outside world, so she quickly explained: "I woke up early this morning for the coming-of-age ceremony, and I was taking a nap in the backyard to catch up on my sleep. I will go wake up Your Highness now."

"No need, let her rest. She is still young and growing. It won't hurt for her to sleep more." The eldest princess raised her hand and stopped Gan Yuan from leaving.

This time, another perfect comparison is made.

Not long ago, Madam Chi, relying on Empress Xu's background, clamored for Princess Dunming to come and meet her.

At this moment, Princess Dunming's aunt came. When she heard this, she not only did not let the maid wake up Princess Dunming, but instead acted like an elder and indulged her.

For a moment, the servants in the front hall who witnessed the whole process looked up at the Chi mother and son from time to time, although there was no whispering to them.

But sometimes, when people are embarrassed, their senses are very sensitive.

Mrs. Chi didn't even dare to raise her head. She hurriedly said that she was sorry for being rude today and was about to take Chi Dao away from the princess's mansion.

Jiang Qingqing listened to this and shook her head regretfully.

[What a pity, I haven't made my debut yet. I'm about to make my debut. With the help of my aunt, I will beat up the Nanguan Marquis' wife without any hesitation!]

Jiang Qingqing muttered to herself with gritted teeth, and at this moment she clenched her hands into fists and punched the air.

In Xiao Linting's eyes, she was like a soft and harmless kitten who was wronged and was hesitant to give in at first, but after having a huge backer on her side, she dared to stretch out her kitten pads, revealing her not-so-sharp little claws, and cried.

His heart was completely soft.

Xiao Linting raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head.

When the eldest princess saw Mrs. Chi leave, she did not stay for a moment, but stood up and returned to her usual calm and composed demeanor.

"Okay, don't call Qingqing out. Let her have a good rest. We're on the way here."

The eldest princess said this and left the princess's mansion with the lady with whom she had a good relationship.

After Gan Yuan saw off the distinguished guest, he ordered the maids and servants in the mansion to return to their own rooms and no one was allowed to come out, and cleared the mansion.

At this moment, Jiang Qingqing brought Xiao Linting from the warm room into the front hall.

In the front hall, the tea cups left behind by the guests have not yet been cleared away, but there is an illusion that the tea has gone cold.

While Jiang Qingqing was in a trance, Nafu came over. He had just come in with Gan Yuan.

"Why did you suddenly... return to Beijing?"
