Chapter 297 I'm Not Angry

Naturally, the two people's little movements did not escape Hawking's eyes.

Seeing them like this, he knew that things were definitely not as simple as Yun Qin said, but he could naturally figure it out, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He had summoned Yun Qin, so he didn't need to ask any more questions. So he looked at the eldest prince and asked, "What do you want to see your father for?"

The eldest prince subconsciously glanced at Yun Qin, as if drawing courage from her. After Yun Qin looked at him, he stepped forward hesitantly and said to Huo Jinchi, "Father, I want to go back to the palace to see my mother."

Huo Jinchi also glanced at Yunqin first, then looked at him and said, "Didn't I tell you that you will only stay in the palace for a while, and go back when the weather cools down? It's only a short time, you still need to go back to the palace."

This is really inhumane...

The eldest prince's face immediately fell.

Yun Qin glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "The eldest prince hasn't seen Concubine De for a long time. This is not just a few days. The emperor is going to bring the queen mother here. What's wrong with the eldest prince just wanting to see Concubine De?"

Her words were not just an intercession for the eldest prince, but also contained a hint of sarcasm.

The Emperor, who is so old, cannot live without the Empress Dowager, let alone a child...

Huo Jinchi naturally understood, he looked up at her, his tongue touching his teeth again, he didn't say anything when asked her, but he was actually very dissatisfied.

But this could not change Huo Jinchi's mind. Ever since he began to suspect Concubine De, he had already decided to cut off the relationship between the eldest prince and Concubine De.

Yun Qin may not be able to have children anymore, so the eldest prince is very likely to be the future crown prince.

The future prince must not have a mother with bad conduct and vicious thoughts!

"No, I'm worried about you going back to the palace alone. You'd better wait for some time." Huo Jinchi refused indifferently.

Yun Qin had already guessed this result. She glanced at the eldest prince who kept his head down and said nothing, but couldn't help but asked, "How about I accompany the eldest prince back to the palace?"

When the time comes, I will severely provoke Concubine De once again. She just doesn’t believe that she will not reveal her true colors!

Huo Jinchi raised his eyes to look at her, his expression indifferent, but there was a smile in his eyes.

The eldest prince did not see the smile in his eyes, but only saw his tense jaw. He was afraid that his father would scold Concubine Xi as well, so he hurriedly said, "Father, I will not return to the palace. The Concubine Xi is just feeling sorry for me. Please don't be angry with her."

The word "pitiful" made Yun Qin feel a little sad. This child actually knew everything.

Yun Qin tried to hold back but couldn't help it and reached out to touch his head.

Huo Jinchi looked at the eldest prince and sighed slightly in his heart, but he did not show obvious sympathy like Yun Qin did. He just responded again,

He said to the eldest prince: "If you are worried about your mother, I will ask her to send you letters regularly, and you can also write to her."

"Really? Thank you very much, father."

The eldest prince didn't expect that his father would bring it up before he even opened his mouth. He was so happy that he excitedly grabbed Yun Qin's hand.

"My Lady, I can receive a letter from my mother now. I will definitely ask her in person if she is angry with me or if she is hurt."

He was so happy that he didn't even notice that he had let the cat out of the bag.

Yun Qin touched his head again and said with a smile, "Then the eldest prince must learn to read more, otherwise he won't be able to understand the letter from Concubine De."

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I also need to learn to write well so that I can write a letter to my mother." The eldest prince nodded with a smile.

This silly child...

Even if Concubine De sent a letter, I'm afraid Huo Jinchi would have read it first. Concubine De would naturally know about this and would naturally not say anything sad in the letter.

This is a good thing for the eldest prince.

I just hope Concubine De will do good things and not wait until the eldest prince grows up and feel ashamed of having such a mother.

With Yun Qin's comfort and Huo Jinchi's promise, the eldest prince finally got over Nanny Lin's departure and her words, and his mood was no longer so depressed.

Afterwards, he was taken by the eunuch to take lessons from the tutor.

Yun Qin and Huo Jinchi were the only two people left in the hall.

"What happened before?" After the eldest prince left, Huo Jinchi asked Yun Qin again.

Yun Qin sat on the other side of the couch, drank a sip of tea, and then said, "If Your Majesty wants to know, why not just ask the people around the eldest prince? Why ask me?"

Before she could say anything, Huo Jinchi smiled and said, "Did you promise Yan'er something?"

"Your Majesty, why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Yun Qin glanced at him and changed the subject. She looked at the books on the table and asked, "Your Majesty is in a good mood and has read so many books."

"I asked someone to prepare this for you." Huo Jinchi pushed the book towards her.

Yun Qin lowered her eyes and glanced at it. "For me?"

"Last time I saw that you were interested in travel notes, and I also knew that you had read a lot, so I asked someone to collect some more and bring them to you." Huo Jinchi said in a calm voice.

Yun Qin was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to do such a thing.

She blinked at Huo Jinchi, then lowered her eyes to glance at the book on the table, and chuckled, "Your Majesty must have asked someone to prepare it a long time ago, but why did he only give it to me now? Why?"

Hawking Chi's expression froze slightly.

Yun Qin glanced at her sideways, "Because the emperor stayed at Concubine Shen's place last night?"

Huo Jinchi did not deny it, but followed her words and said: "Father Shen is quite smart and capable. I plan to use him. Regarding Concubine Shen..."

Before he could finish, Yun Qin interrupted her.

"Am I so ignorant in the eyes of the emperor?" Yun Qin smiled and said, "You are the emperor, the emperor of the whole world, not just me. You have devoted all your energy to state affairs. If I can't help you, will I hinder you?"

Huo Jinchi looked into her eyes. The smile in them was not forced at all, and even had a hint of teasing, as if she felt that his behavior was unnecessary.

He suddenly realized that in Yun Qin's eyes, his behavior at this time was just to comfort her.

That was true, but he comforted her because he didn't want her to be angry, not because he wanted her to continue working for him as she thought.

But obviously, she was not angry.

Huo Jinchi opened his mouth but did not say that he did not favor Concubine Shen last night. His staying in Shen Concubine's Liuyunxie was a real comfort.

Since she's not angry, there's no need to say these words.

He knew that the Shen family had been feeling uneasy because of Concubine Shen's health, and this act of favor would make them more loyal.

Huo Jinchi suddenly felt that what Nie Danying said was right. A person who is full of calculations, even if he expresses his true feelings, will only be seen as calculation in the eyes of others.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yun Qin was too lazy to think about whether he was unhappy because she had exposed him, or because of something else.

"Then I thank the emperor." Yun Qin smiled at him and stretched out her hand to put all the books in front of herself.
