Si Xueyi's body trembled slightly, but in the end she did not take back her hand.

After singing Happy Birthday, Lin Zhan took back his chopsticks. The emperor was very pleased and said, "Although the tune is simple, the blessing is also simple and clear. The prince likes this birthday gift from Xiao Zhan'er."

"Of course I like it." Jun Beiqi quickly stood up and said to the emperor.

Lin Zan, who passed the test successfully, slowly breathed a sigh of relief and sat back next to Jun Beiqi.

The little face showed an innocent smile towards Jun Beiqi, and Jun Beiqi pushed some of her favorite food in front of her, the meaning of pampering was self-evident.

The prince's birthday banquet went smoothly. Lin Zhan's belly was full from eating so much, but fortunately she didn't have to walk back.

The prince sent Lin Zhan back to Hanfang Pavilion and handed a black pill to Lin Zhan. "You ate a lot at my birthday banquet today. This is a digestion pill. Take it to avoid bloating."

"Your Highness, you are so thoughtful. Thank you, thank you!" Lin Zan took the digestive pills with a smile, then bowed like a little Fuwa and looked towards his luggage.

Jun Beiqi was amused by her naive appearance, then turned and left.

The next day was the day when Jun Beiqi officially left the palace for the Prince's Mansion. Lin Zan followed Concubine Xian on the palace wall, watching Jun Beiqi slowly leave the palace.

"Tuanzi, sooner or later you will leave the palace, right?" Lin Zan didn't know why, but an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, and then he said to Jun Anqing beside him.

Jun Anqing seemed to be confused about Lin Zhan's emotions. He tilted his head and said, "Of course, it would be great to leave the palace. There are so many delicious and fun things. But don't worry, I am very loyal and will definitely bring some to you when the time comes."

Looking at the Fourth Prince who was as fat as a glutinous rice ball and whose mind was only on eating, drinking and having fun, Lin Zan actually envied him a little.

After seeing Jun Beiqi off, Jun Anqing happily took Lin Zan to Chaoxia Palace where Concubine De lived.

Lin Zhan was also a little excited at the thought that he was about to meet the eccentric Concubine De.

"Mother, mother." Jun Anqing pulled Lin Zan into the palace gate, but they didn't expect an arrow to fly towards them, directly passing by their faces and shooting into the door behind them.

Such a horrifying scene made Lin Zhan’s eyes widen instantly, and then he looked forward in disbelief.

In the middle of the yard stood a long-haired woman in black tights. There was a hint of rebelliousness on her heroic face. Her long hair was tied up high with a jade crown, and she held a bow and arrow in her hand.

"Mother, why are you shooting arrows again?" Jun Anqing pouted, as if he was no longer surprised by this scene, and pulled the stiff Lin Zan inside.

Wait a minute, is this the gentle, virtuous, and considerate Consort Hua De described in the original book? Why is this different from the description in the book?

Lin Zan's thoughts instantly became confused, and he walked in front of Empress Defei in a daze.

Concubine De's eyes fell on Lin Zhan, and she raised her heroic eyebrows and said, "This must be Lin Zhan, the sister of the late Queen Lin."

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine." Lin Zan quickly came back to his senses and bowed towards the Virtuous Concubine's luggage in front of him.

Defei waved her hand casually, then strode to the stone bench next to her and sat down, throwing the bow and arrow in her hand onto the stone table.

Afterwards, Lin Zhan clearly heard a dull clanging sound coming from the stone table, and even faintly heard the sound of it breaking.

When I looked closely, I found some bumps and dents on the stone table, which were dents caused by falling.

"Mother, please don't scare Lin Zan." Seeing Lin Zan standing there in a daze without saying anything, Jun Anqing said to Concubine De with some dissatisfaction.

Concubine De glanced at her son sideways, then raised the corner of her mouth. "At such a young age, you have learned to be sympathetic to women. Not bad, not bad."

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Jun Anqing immediately lowered his head awkwardly and twisted his body like a twist.

Wait a minute, could it be that Jun Anqing has already fallen in love with me now, Lin Zan thought with a calm expression.

However, Jun Anqing's awkward posture made Concubine De frown, and she threw the teacup in her hand directly at Jun Anqing.

Fortunately, Jun Anqing reacted quickly and dodged quickly, and the teacup fell to the ground.

"As a man, why are you acting so shy?" Empress Defei scolded softly.

Just then, news came from outside the palace that the emperor would have lunch in Chaoxia Palace today.

The Virtuous Concubine curled her lips in dissatisfaction and grumbled, "I have to pretend to be so gentle again. It's really annoying!"

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room, asking the palace maid to quickly change her clothes. After a while, a dignified and gentle, typical palace beauty appeared in front of Lin Zan.

Lin Zhan was completely stunned by the two different faces of Concubine De before and after.

It was at this moment that Lin Zan discovered that the characters in the book were no longer dry paper people, but living beings with flesh and blood appearing before her.

"Mother, aren't you tired of pretending and changing like this every day?" Jun Anqing tilted his head and said in confusion when he saw that his mother had turned into the dignified queen she used to be.

Concubine De clenched her fist and hit Jun Anqing on the head, whispering, "You little bastard, don't expose your mother, or I will tell everyone that you wet the bed last night."

"Mother." Jun Anqing stomped his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do as his mother had already told him about his embarrassing incident last night.

Looking at the mother and son who were fighting and playing in low voices, Lin Zan now finally understood why Jun Anqing had such a personality when he grew up.

When the emperor came, Jun Anqing and Lin Zan naturally didn't want to be a light bulb there, so they ran to Hanfang Pavilion to play.

At this time, Si Xueyi also wanted to come over and join the two of them, but unexpectedly, Jun Anqing, who had a simple personality, didn't seem to like Si Xueyi either, and simply refused with a pout.

Si Xueyi turned away in great disappointment. Lin Zhan asked Jun Anqing curiously, "Tuanzi, don't you like Si Xueyi?"

"I don't like it." Jun Anqing answered directly.

Lin Zhan then asked, "Why?"

"Because my mother said that she is not a good person and entered the palace with ulterior motives, so she asked me to stay away from her." Jun Anqing raised his little head and said to Lin Zan very seriously.
