Chapter 76 Beating is love, scolding is love
Empress Zhou raised her head and glared at Lu Linyuan, angrily saying, "Your father is old and his behavior is becoming more and more foolish. You're not even the crown prince yet, and you want to imitate his foolish ways?"
Not only did she not punish the three bastards, but she was also asked to praise them?
They deserve it!
Bai Jinfeng's face turned pale, and she quickly advised, "Mother, be careful, there are ears behind the walls."
Queen Zhou said this out of anger, but when she heard this, she quickly shut her mouth and sat there sulking.
Lu Linyuan quickly explained to Queen Zhou, "Mother, Lu Jingbai has taken the Phoenix Seal. Can a child like her protect him?"
Empress Zhou looked up at Lu Linyuan and asked, "What does your Highness mean?"
Lu Linyuan said: "Losing the Phoenix Seal is a serious crime!"
Losing the Phoenix Seal is a serious crime. Not only will Bai Taotao be punished, but even Crown Prince Lu Jiuyuan will be implicated.
Bai Jinfeng also looked at Lu Linyuan in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are not going to..."
Send someone to steal the Phoenix Seal and harm Lu Jingbai? She didn't dare to say this idea out loud, so she quickly advised: "Your Highness should not act rashly. Not to mention the three children, even the Crown Prince is not a threat to you. Now, being humble and courteous to the Crown Prince is the right way."
Lu Jiuyuan is about to die. If he can just hold on for a few more months, the position of crown prince will naturally fall on Lu Linyuan.
Therefore, there is really no need to do anything at this time, so as to avoid being caught by others.
Also because Lu Jiuyuan was about to die, Emperor Shengzong would rather be a tyrant and pamper him.
The other five princes did not dare to offend Lu Jiuyuan at this time.
He was afraid that Emperor Shengzong would dislike him and he would have no chance of becoming the crown prince.
Lu Linyuan looked at Bai Jinfeng and nodded slightly: "This is what I think too. Don't act rashly. Support the Crown Prince unconditionally and let Father see that I respect my brother."
He then said to Queen Zhou, "Mother, you must understand that spoiling a child is like killing him. It is not a bad thing for us to pamper these three children at this time."
At this moment, Empress Zhou calmed down and understood, and she was no longer angry: "The emperor is really smart. Mother understands. From now on, mother will love them like her grandchildren."
As for the loss of the Phoenix Seal, he didn't need to take action, because there would always be people who were jealous of their success and would take action.
All they have to do is turn a blind eye, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits.
…
Bai Taotao accompanied Emperor Shengzong to finish his lunch, and then took Sanbao back to the East Palace.
The three babies fell asleep as soon as they got in the car, including the eldest baby who had just woken up.
Bai Taotao sat in the carriage, looking at the phoenix robe that Queen Zhou had ordered to be put away and sent to her, and seemed to be lost in thought.
Lu Jiuyuan looked at her: "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Taotao came back to her senses and said softly, "The Queen is really generous. She gave me the Phoenix Seal and also had the Phoenix Robe packed and sent over."
Lu Jiuyuan sneered: "Stupid woman."
Bai Taotao narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Jiuyuan: "Your Highness, are you saying that I am stupid?"
Lu Jiuyuan hummed without comment.
Queen Zhou had finally taken the throne, so how could she be so generous as to give away the phoenix seal and robe?
They don’t know what kind of misfortune is waiting for them here.
Bai Taotao held her face in her hands and looked at Lu Jiuyuan with her eyes as bright as stars: "Your Highness even calls me a nickname when you call me a concubine. It's only been a short while since we started, and you're already teasing me. I feel embarrassed."
When Lu Jiuyuan looked up, he saw Bai Taotao holding her face with both hands, her eyes half closed, looking extremely shy.
He: "What is my nickname for you?"
Bai Taotao blinked and nodded shyly: "The men in the storybook always call their beloved women stupid women. Their tone is both helpless and doting, just like what Your Highness said just now."
Lu Jiuyuan didn't have this feeling at first, but after Bai Taotao said this, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some interest in it.
Then, he blushed again and said sullenly, "You're overthinking it. I was just scolding you!"
Bai Taotao looked at Lu Jiuyuan's blushing face, and thought of his majestic and cold protectiveness in Fengling Palace, which formed a contrast with the current situation.
This made her want to tease him even more, and she became even more shy: "Your Highness, beating is love, scolding is love. You always scold me, so you must love me to the bone."
Lu Jiuyuan: "Always talking about love and affection, shameless!"
Bai Taotao watched helplessly as the blush on Lu Jiuyuan's face spread all the way to his ears, becoming as red as if blood was about to drip out.
She suddenly had a bad idea to tease him.
