Chapter 165 Staying in Rongle Palace

The Great Chu Emperor felt even more disgusted when he saw her innocent look.

Not wanting to look at her any longer, he turned to look at the Queen Mother beside him, and said in a softer tone, "Mother, Xing Hui has always been very naughty. Now that her mother is gone, there is no one to teach her. I hope you will take care of her."

When Lu Xinghui heard what the Emperor of Great Chu said, his heart broke into two, but he did not dare to say anything. He just silently prayed that the Empress Dowager would not agree.

"That's fine," the Queen Mother said, but Lu Xinghui was disappointed. "Xinghui is still young, and it won't do without someone to take care of her."

"You don't have to worry too much about her, mother," the Great Chu Emperor said indifferently, "You should take care of your own body first."

He turned to look at Lu Xing who was kneeling on the ground and said, "From today on, you must go to Yanhua Hall to copy scriptures for two hours every day to pray for the baby in your elder sister's belly."

Two hours? Is Father crazy?

Lu Xinghui was about to open his mouth to refute, but the third prince who was kneeling beside him pulled his clothes.

Lu Xing turned his head and looked over, only to see his third brother frowning and shaking his head at him, his eyes full of anger.

Seeing his third brother like this, Lu Xinghui didn't dare to say anything more. He just bowed and thanked him: "I will obey you in everything."

The Emperor of Great Chu was not unaware of the little actions of the brother and sister, but he did not care. After all, his goal was achieved.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the Emperor of Great Chu prepared to get up and leave.

The Third Prince at the side hurried forward and said, "Father, can you please let me take Xing back so that I can pack some clothes?"

"Go!" The Emperor of Great Chu waved his hand, said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and left Rongle Palace.

How could he not know what Jin Chen was thinking? He just wanted to go back and give Xing a few more words of advice, so he just let them go.

But he still thought his son was too naive.

As soon as he left Rongle Palace, Lu Xinghui began to mutter: "Why did my brother agree to..."

However, after seeing the look in the Third Prince's eyes, he suddenly shut his mouth and obediently followed his brother back to Changqiu Palace.

Lu Xinghui was carried out by the Third Prince, so the maid beside her could not follow him. She could only stand at the gate of Changqiu Palace and keep looking for the direction they came from.

Just then he saw his master following timidly behind the Third Prince.

Lu Xinghui was afraid of the Third Prince, and even the maids around her were afraid of him.

Yinghong hurried forward and greeted him: "Greetings to His Highness."

Then he trotted over to Lu Xinghui and said, "The princess is back."

Lu Xinghui just glanced at Yinghong and didn't dare to say anything.

"Go and pack some clothes for your princess. She will live in Rongle Palace from today." The third prince gave the order expressionlessly.

Yinghong was frightened for a moment. Going to Rongle Palace?

Hasn't the Queen Mother always disliked the Sixth Princess? Why did she want the Sixth Princess to live in Rongle Palace?

Before she could react, the Third Prince's voice of rebuke came over: "Are you deaf?"

Just two words frightened Yinghong so much that she dared not hesitate any longer and did not even bother to look at her own princess's expression, and hurriedly ran back to the side hall.

This time, the third prince brought Lu Xinghui back to his study.

"It's fine if you live with the Empress Dowager," the Third Prince was impatient, but he patiently brought a cup of tea to Lu Xinghui and handed it to her, "You should try to curry favor with the Empress Dowager and let her love you well."

Lu Xinghui was worried: "When my mother was alive, the Empress Dowager didn't like me, and she doesn't like me even more now."

The third prince took a step forward and came in front of Lu Xinghui. Lu Xinghui was startled and shrank back, almost falling off the stool.

Only when the Third Prince grabbed her shoulders did she calm down: "It is precisely because your mother is gone that you need to let the Empress Dowager know how miserable it is for you to live alone, so that she can love you more."

“Please also say something good about my brother in front of the grandmother.” The third prince’s voice became lower and lower when he spoke here. “In the future, we will have a place in this palace. Whether it is Xingwan or the elder sister, my brother has dealt with them for you.”

"Really?" Lu Xinghui's eyes widened when he heard it.

"Of course," the Third Prince heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she finally gave in. "When has my brother ever lied to you?"

"Just be sure to follow what your father says."

"Okay!" Lu Xinghui stood up suddenly as if he had suddenly made up his mind, "Royal brother is right, I will definitely try to curry favor with the Royal Grandmother."

"I will go and apologize to my elder sister now."

Having said that, he walked towards Xingyang Palace without looking back. When the Third Prince saw Lu Xinghui speaking like this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yinghong, who was busy packing her things, was so frightened when she saw the Third Prince's expression.

Since the death of Concubine De, the Third Prince seemed like a different person.

It's become so scary.

Yinghong didn't dare to look at the Third Prince again. She just lowered her head and packed the Sixth Princess' things.

At this time in Xingyang Palace, the eldest princess had already woken up and was being carried out by Wen Chun.

The Crown Prince followed behind him and muttered, "Just now the Empress Dowager sent a message that when you come to the palace next time, you should ride in a sedan chair."

The eldest princess who was walking in front suddenly turned around and said, "Brother~"

Seeing her acting so coquettishly, the prince felt a little embarrassed and could only say softly, "Okay, I won't say anything more."

"I have spoken to the female doctor in my aunt's palace and asked her to accompany you back home. She will come back to the palace after you are well."

In order to reassure the prince, the eldest princess finally nodded this time: "Okay, I'll listen to my brother."

Just as the princess was about to get on the sedan chair, Lu Xing turned around and hurried to Xingyang Palace: "Big sister."

When Lu Xingruo heard Xinghui's voice, she paused before getting on the car, turned her head and looked towards the palace gate. A flash of displeasure flashed through her mind, but she quickly adjusted her mood: "Why is Xinghui here?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xinghui knelt directly at the feet of the eldest princess, which scared Wen Chun who was standing beside her and she stepped forward to protect the eldest princess.

Then he felt something was wrong, so he changed direction and pretended to help Lu Xing back up.

Lu Xinghui pushed Wen Chun away and took a few steps forward: "Big sister, it was my fault today. I almost hurt the baby in your belly. Please forgive me."

Lu Xingruo didn't say anything, but just smiled and looked at Lu Xinghui, wanting to see what she would say.

Seeing the eldest princess like this, Lu Xinghui felt even more guilty, and had to bring out the same trick he had used in Rongle Palace again: "After meeting my eldest sister today, I saw the cat that my mother raised when she was alive. I, I really missed my mother so much that I went after the cat."

"But I didn't expect that cat to bump into my elder sister. Xinghui is really guilty."

After saying this, he actually bent down.

Lu Xingruo then signaled to Zhongping who was beside the prince. Zhongping was a man after all and was stronger, so he lifted up the Sixth Princess.

"Don't worry, Xinghui, big sister won't blame you." Lu Xingruo said lightly.
