"Mother, will you allow me to marry her as my principal wife?"

"Jinjie, you are still young and can't tell the difference between good and bad people. Don't easily get married to someone privately."

"How come I can't tell the difference between a good person and a bad person? She is a kind-hearted girl who doesn't seek fame or gain. She didn't even know I was the crown prince at first, and she was so nice to me..."

"Little prince, have you forgotten what I just said? In this harem, who else could it be other than the prince if she is young, good-looking, and not a eunuch? In my opinion, she knew you were the prince a long time ago, so she deliberately approached you."

"You're talking nonsense... Camellia isn't that kind of person."

"I'm talking nonsense? Do you dare to try it?"

"What is there to try? Camellia is pregnant with my child now."

"Oh, I guess that her pregnancy with you is all fake. You are only sixteen years old. Do you know anything about sex? How can you let her get pregnant?"

"you……"

Jinjie was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

Luo Nianxi raised her hand to stop him.

"Jinjie, your mother understands your feelings. How about this? Let's ask the imperial physician to check her pulse and see if she is pregnant. As for whether she is sincere to you, maybe we can tell from that."

Jinjie nodded without thinking.

"Then ask the imperial physician. She won't lie to me anyway."

Jinjie is full of confidence, and Camellia is also full of confidence.

She was waiting for the prince to come back and for good news from him.

But to her surprise, when the prince returned, he not only brought the queen, but also two imperial doctors.

Seeing this scene, she immediately panicked.

"This...what are you going to do?"

Jinjie hurried forward and gently persuaded,

"Don't be afraid, Camellia. When your mother heard that you were pregnant, she took it very seriously. She asked the imperial physician to check your pulse and prescribe some medicine to protect your pregnancy."

Camellia waved her hands in panic to refuse.

"No, I don't want the imperial physician to check my pulse. I can't let these men touch me, Your Highness. These men have dirty hands. They can't touch me."

As she spoke, she hid behind Jinjie. This scene made Luo Nianxi even more suspicious.

She stepped forward and pulled Camellia out from behind Jinjie.

"Since you can't let a man take your pulse, I will come and check it for you myself."

After saying that, she placed her finger directly on her pulse, which made Camellia even more frightened.

She tried to pull it back, but Bai Lan stepped forward and held her down, making her unable to move.

She began to ask Jinjie for help.

"Your Highness, please save me. This servant hurt me. Please save me..."

Her crazy behavior made Jinjie very anxious.

But seeing that his mother was concentrating on checking her pulse, he could not forcibly step forward to stop her, so he could only keep comforting her.

"Don't worry, Camellia, it will be fine in a moment, don't worry!"

"Snapped!"

Luo Nianxi suddenly raised her hand and slapped Chahua on the face, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

This scene surprised Jinjie. He stared at her blankly.

"Mother, why did you hit her?"

When he asked this question, his eyes began to turn red. He stepped forward to hug Camellia and stared at Luo Nianxi with resentful eyes.

"Why did you hit her? She is pregnant with my child, your grandson."

"Humph!"

This was the first time that Luo Nianxi, who was always gentle, got so angry.

She raised her finger and pointed at Camellia, angrily saying:

"How dare you lie to the prince about your pregnancy? You are so bold. Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

Jinjie seemed not to understand what she said. He glanced at her and then looked at Camellia.

"Camellia, aren't you pregnant? Tell her it's true. You didn't lie to me. It's true."

Camellia bit her lips and fell to her knees.

She never thought that the lie she made up would be seen through by the Queen.

At the moment, she no longer dared to ask herself to be the Crown Princess. It would be good enough as long as she could keep her life.

"Your Highness, I admit that I lied to you, but I really like you and I really want to be with you, so I made up this lie. I was wrong. Please ask the Queen to help me."

Hearing this, Jinjie sat down on the ground weakly, his face as pale as paper.

He didn't believe Camellia would lie to him.

Luo Nianxi looked at Camellia, who was crying bitterly, and angrily said:

"This girl dared to deceive the Crown Prince and attempted to gain power by such despicable means. Take her to the Ministry of Punishment and await your punishment."

"Mother..."

Jinjie suddenly knelt on his knees.

"Mother, even if she deceived me, I don't blame her. Please forgive her for my sake!"

Luo Nianxi knew that if she didn't let Jinjie give up, even if she sent Camellia to the Ministry of Punishment, he would be distracted and think about her every day.

She nodded.

"Okay, I will give you face, Prince, and punish you by confining you to your room for a month. During this period, you are not allowed to go out."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

Luo Nianxi got up and left. Nanny Wu called two maids to come forward and take Camellia away.

Jinjie weakly got up from the ground and looked at Camellia who was looking back at him and crying. He felt indescribable feeling in his heart.

After returning to Chaofeng Palace, Luo Nianxi's anger had not subsided.

When Leng Yiyan came in, she couldn't help but come forward to complain.

"Your son is a brainless lover who has been deceived by others. If he becomes the emperor, how can we feel at ease?"

Leng Yiyan placed his hands on her shoulders and comforted her softly:

"I have heard that there are many women in the harem who want to control men by this means. Jinjie just doesn't have the ability to distinguish. However, he is still very good at doing things. The ministers in the court all praise him."

"He has IQ but no EQ. I really want to slap him in the face today."

"Don't be angry, my lady. I will try to persuade him later."

"He is a stubborn donkey, and even ten oxen can't pull him back. That little palace maid deceived him, but he still pleaded for her and believed her lies. If he is not allowed to give up completely, believe it or not, he will be fooled by that little girl sooner or later."

"You have found a suitable candidate, and I heard that she has a similar temperament to you. As long as she can handle Jinjie well, just like you do to me, then this harem will be a peaceful scene!"

When she mentioned this, she gave a helpless smile.

"Why? Do you think I don't allow you to take a concubine or do you think I don't allow you to select concubines?"

"Neither. Having you as my wife is enough for me in this life. Besides, the world you live in practices monogamy. It's a pity that you couldn't give birth to another child for me."

"How old are you and still want to have a baby?"

"You don't have to give birth to the child, but... you are my only woman, so you have to put out this fire for me."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked her up horizontally. Bai Lan and others who were standing not far away saw this and quickly turned their faces away...
