The scolding came to an abrupt end, and he suddenly stopped talking. Then he realized that Jiang Qingqing was the only one who was scolding in the room.

I realized too late that now is not the time to train Jiang Chen.

Jiang Qingqing pursed her lips shyly and lowered her head. She tried to make up for her loss and pretend to be the innocent and lovely five-year-old child again.

The Second Prince slowly came to his senses after listening to Jiang Qingqing's words, cleared his throat, and said softly: "My sister has only been in the Imperial Academy for less than a year, but her enlightenment is even better than our brothers. I should reflect on myself."

The eldest prince also came back to his senses. He coughed lightly to hide his surprise and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "If the emperor knew what my sister said, he would be very happy."

Jiang Chen looked up at his two brothers, frowned, and said, "What can those old teachers in the Imperial College teach us? Is there any need to say more? It must be the Imperial Uncle who taught us well!"

After these words were spoken, some people suddenly realized, some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and some people -

Xiao Linting turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen, who was full of pride. He raised the end of his eyebrows with a rare smile.

"Since we've almost finished eating, I'll leave first." Princess Qi Yang calmly passed over this somewhat awkward topic.

Jiang Qingqing immediately raised her eyes and looked at Princess Qi Yang.

The latter adjusted her skirt gracefully, as if she was not the one who had left the palace to target Jiang Qingqing in the first place.

Everyone nodded slightly and greeted Princess Qi Yang. As soon as they waited for her to leave, the comfort in the room began to ease.

The second prince took a breath, sorted out the dishes in front of him, and said softly, "What do you mean now? We will do our own thing. When the sun sets, where will we gather and go back to the palace together?"

The eldest prince nodded slightly and naturally took over the words of the second prince, "Third brother wants to go to the teahouse, I will accompany him, what about the second brother?"

"One piece then."

After exchanging a few words, the three brothers turned their heads in unison and looked at Jiang Qingqing and Xiao Linting.

Jiang Qingqing blinked her eyes in attention. Just as she was about to explain where she was going, the emperor's uncle beside her suddenly spoke.

"I will go with you to the side courtyard to see that commoner girl," he said solemnly, finalizing the itinerary. "After the sun sets, your highnesses will return to Prince Xiao's mansion to meet up."

They had no objection and nodded in response.

Jiang Chen remembered something, rubbed his hands together, chuckled, and dragged his two brothers towards the door.

As he walked, he turned around and said to the emperor's uncle: "In that case, let's go to the teahouse first. Emperor's uncle, remember to pay the bill!"

After saying this, he ran out of the room with his two ignorant brothers.

Jiang Qingqing was left alone, staring at the escaping figure, hesitant to speak.

She and her uncle were the only ones left in the room.

Thinking back to the big principles that Jiang Qingqing had just scolded Jiang Chen with, it was the first time that Jiang Qingqing felt so much pressure staying with the emperor's uncle.

"Let's go." Xiao Linting unexpectedly did not mention what happened just now, but stood up as if nothing had happened.

The more this happened, the more panicked Jiang Qingqing became.

"Uncle, don't you want to ask me why I know so many principles?" Jiang Qingqing quickly grabbed Xiao Linting's robe.

Because he was sitting, the opportunity to grab him happened to be the moment Xiao Linting stood up, so the little guy could only grab the robe beside his leg.

Standing next to the round stool, Xiao Linting could see the little girl looking up with her head held high. Her skin was white and tender, and her round eyes clearly reflected an innocent emotion. Her pouty red lips were slightly pouted, making her look very pitiful.

[If I tell him later that I read a great truth in a book, will he believe me? What if he doesn’t believe me…Will he think that I’m too young and thoughtful and not want to play with me? Then will I still have someone to rely on? If I don’t have anyone to rely on…Wuwuwuwu]

The sound of a baby crying suddenly came into his mind. There was a hint of smile in his deep eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

The slender hand with calluses held the smooth little hand.

"Your Highness, it is a good thing that you like to read. I am so happy that I don't have time to be curious."

Once he deliberately lowered his voice, it no longer had the awkwardness of the voice change period in his youth, but instead had a deeper masculine voice.

Jiang Qingqing's heart moved slightly for a moment.

[I have to say, the emperor's uncle is quite good at this. I can say that he is in control of me.]

The smile in Xiao Linting's eyes deepened a lot.

Jiang Qingqing caught the fleeting smile in the emperor's uncle's eyes. She felt a little relieved and began to hold the emperor's uncle's palm tightly with her backhand, feeling at ease.

She smiled brightly with a guilty yet flattering smile.

Xiao Linting naturally lowered his hands, and his soft little hands just held his hand.

Although he walked out of the wing room, Xiao Linting was after all a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender body, so his steps were naturally quite big. There were several times when Jiang Qingqing had to jog a few steps to catch up with him.

The boy didn't feel anything about it, he just felt the little guy's hand was getting tighter and tighter.

until--

[Does he want to send me away? Does he want to send me away? Does he want to send me away? ]

Xiao Linting: What to give?

Confused, he glanced to his side and saw the chubby little kid trying hard to keep up with his pace.

Seeing that the counter was only a few dozen steps away, he suddenly stopped.

Jiang Qingqing could clearly feel that the person holding her hand slowed down his pace.

Her brows, which were furrowed at first, finally relaxed.

The distance should have been reached in just a few breaths, but in order to match Jiang Qingqing's small steps, it took her half a cup of tea to reach the counter.

The shopkeeper who was standing behind the counter waiting for cashiering saw Xiao Linting coming and quickly put on a flattering smile.

"Come on, now. Do you like the food today?" He carefully looked at Xiao Linting's expression.

"Are the dishes today delicious?" Xiao Linting did not answer the shopkeeper directly, but lowered his head and asked the little guy beside him.

The shopkeeper didn't notice that there were other people around Prince Xiao today, so he couldn't help but look over.

I saw that the iron-faced prince who was always serious, never had any women around him, and was chaste, actually had someone beside him——

It's still a pink and tender little baby girl, looking at her makes people feel full of love.

"It's okay overall, but can it be spicier?" She loves spicy food, so no matter where she is or when, she will always try her best to satisfy her appetite.

Xiao Linting nodded in understanding. He raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper and saw him lying on the counter, looking at Jiang Qingqing with a smile.

Suddenly, Prince Xiao's expression suddenly darkened. He stroked the back of Jiang Qingqing's head with his big hand, then pressed lightly, and pulled Jiang Qingqing's face towards him, blocking the shopkeeper's sight.

"Shopkeeper Lin." Xiao Linting spoke in a deep voice with a warning tone.
