Chapter 43 You Can't



Princess Qi Yang looked a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to refute and attack Jiang Chen, but when she saw Xiao Linting's handsome profile.

Her chest rose and fell for a moment, but she finally endured it and sat down unwillingly.

Jiang Qingqing only felt a gust of wind passing by her, and then she saw Princess Qi Yang sitting next to her.

At this moment, Xiao Linting turned his head and looked at Princess Qi Yang.

She felt Xiao Linting's gaze and quickly changed her girlish demeanor, looking down at the table slightly shyly.

"Princess, you'd better change your seat. If you sit like this, the dishes will be served on His Highness' side." Xiao Linting's tone was steady, without any emotional ups and downs.

Princess Qi Yang, who was originally shy, turned her head in a daze and looked at the distance between herself and Jiang Qingqing. Jiang Qingqing was holding the teacup and drinking hot tea obediently.

"Hey, you're not going to let my sister sit at the serving counter on purpose, are you? If some hot dish gets spilled on my sister, will your goal be achieved?!" Jiang Chen quickly glanced at that position and immediately frowned and questioned.

Princess Qi Yang felt that she had never felt so embarrassed today.

She stood up immediately. Xiao Linting thought about it and took the initiative to sit next to Jiang Qingqing, giving his seat to Princess Qi Yang.

"I didn't mean that!" Princess Qi Yang sat down again before expressing her thoughts to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen snorted.

This little episode soon came to an end when the door opened and the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

Jiang Qingqing tasted these delicacies with great anticipation. At first, Jiang Chen still acted like a good brother and occasionally used a serving chopstick to pick some for her, which was like a brother taking care of his sister.

Later on, as Jiang Chen felt that the food at Fan Lou was indeed delicious, he gradually stopped caring about his biological sister Jiang Qingqing.

The five-year-old's body was so short that Jiang Qingqing had difficulty even standing up to pick up the food in front of her.

Just as she was eating the food in her bowl bit by bit and thinking about how to add new dishes to the bowl, suddenly a few new dishes appeared on her plate.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of the chopsticks, and saw Xiao Linting looking at her with deep eyes with a questioning look.

The little girl blinked and looked at the emperor's uncle.

"Eat, don't be in a daze." Xiao Linting looked at the silly look of the little guy, frowned, and warned in a low voice.

Jiang Qingqing was so frightened by his sudden gloomy expression that she quickly lowered her head.

But as she lowered her head, Jiang Qingqing reacted slowly.

Why should she be scared? Xiao Linting's total age is not even half her mental age!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing raised her head stubbornly and looked at Xiao Linting beside her.

Xiao Linting, who had no physical contact and could not hear the little princess's thoughts, felt the little girl next to him suddenly raise her head, and he could not help but turn his head to look at her.

"What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Qingqing held the chopsticks, wrinkled her nose, and snorted, "Uncle, don't talk when you sleep or eat. Have you finished eating yet you start talking."

She did this to refute the face that was shocked just now.

Jiang Chen was eating happily at first, but when he heard their conversation and then heard his sister's confident voice, his heart trembled as he was in awe of his uncle.

Xiao Linting's black eyes flashed with unexpected emotion. He looked at the stubborn and frank little guy, and his thin lips curled up slightly.

"Your Highness will pay attention."

Jiang Qingqing was satisfied to hear the answer she wanted, and she lowered her head to start eating again.

The food at Fanlou was indeed delicious. Jiang Qingqing touched her slightly bulging belly and sighed comfortably.

The eldest prince glanced at the sky outside the window, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's still early, is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Jiang Chen raised his hand slightly and said carefully: "I heard that teahouses are the most interesting. I can listen to storytellers telling stories. I want to go and listen."

The usually taciturn Second Prince nodded in agreement when he heard this.

Princess Qiyang looked a little dull from the beginning, "I won't go. I have an appointment with a good friend in the capital, so I won't be with you this afternoon."

Jiang Qingqing looked at Princess Qi Yang's depressed expression.

One can vaguely guess that her filter for Xiao Linting was slightly broken, causing Princess Qi Yang to no longer want to conquer this man.

Indeed, if it were her, she would have been met with a cold response after saying a few cautious and tentative words, and she would have lost interest in the strategy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing looked at Princess Qi Yang and saw that the sharp confrontation in her eyes was gone, but she shook her head regretfully.

Seeing that the little girl had a very complicated expression, Xiao Linting thought that she was probably thinking about something again. He took the opportunity of correcting the hairpin on the princess's bun and began to touch her physically.

[You're giving up on your uncle just like that? You're giving up just when you've reached the point. You have no perseverance. Tsk!]

Xiao Linting raised the end of his eyebrows in surprise.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the teahouse later?" Xiao Linting asked her calmly.

Jiang Qingqing came back to her senses and said quickly: "I won't go to the teahouse. I want to go to the side yard to see that girl."

"The one from Ba Village?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion. "What's so good about that? Most of them just come out to make a living because they don't have many people at home."

When Jiang Qingqing heard this, she couldn't help but frown and turned to look at Jiang Chen. She pointed her index finger at Jiang Chen and corrected him very seriously.

"Don't say that. You were just lucky enough to be reborn into a royal family. If you were just an ordinary person, would you be able to say such things so calmly and nonchalantly?"

"Every family needs to make a living, and every family needs to work hard to survive. Don't we have any goals or ideals when we are so carefree now?" Jiang Qingqing ignored the other people at the table. She felt uncomfortable listening to Jiang Chen's seemingly unconscious words.

"They are conscious and ambitious people, and they all have significant plans for their lives. Their goals and ideals are just more down-to-earth. As a royal descendant, your ideals and ambitions are not so ordinary, but you should think about your concern for the world."

The baby's voice should have been sweet, but this topic was too serious, and there was a bit of stubbornness and seriousness in it.

Princess Qi Yang originally listened to the conversation between the brother and sister with her chin in her hand, indifferently. However, as Jiang Qingqing's words became more profound, the frivolity in her eyes gradually faded, and finally a rare serious look appeared in her eyes.

Jiang Chen was probably used to being told this by Jiang Qingqing, so he didn't feel embarrassed. On the contrary, he really thought about Jiang Qingqing's earnest words.

Xiao Linting's expression gradually became serious as he looked at Jiang Qingqing, and he began to think.
