Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

After receiving Huimin's hint, Xia Dongchun turned his head reluctantly.

"Yeah, Sister Xia should also say a few words."

Huimin continued to pull Xia Dongchun's sleeve.

"As a sister, yeah."

Xia Dongchun felt the force and secretly glanced at An Lingrong, but still said nothing.

An Lingrong held Huimin's hand and slowly looked up at Xia Dongchun.

The atmosphere between the two of them was so strange, so tense, what should I do? This was a suffocating atmosphere.

Huimin was just about to ease the atmosphere when Xia Dongchun spoke.

"For... ahem... um...'s sake, I am magnanimous enough to accept you joining us."

Xia Dongchun held her head high proudly.

An Lingrong listened to this and said with a smile:

"Lingrong came here because of Sister Min's invitation, so naturally she follows Sister Min's wishes. The "we" Chao Guiren said is wrong. Sister Min didn't say it was you. Sister Min's "we" refers to me and Sister Min."

An Lingrong's implicit meaning was that you should stop being sentimental. Sister Min and I are us, and you are an outsider...

Xia Dongchun is usually a slow person, but when Huimin was involved in this matter, she became alert.

"You, An Lingrong, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the two were on the verge of a fight, Huimin pulled one of them with each hand, and with one action, they both shut up.

"Okay, if you don't go now, I'll go back to Hanyue Tower."

"going or not?"

Huimin asked with a smile.

"Go, go immediately."

"Go, don't ruin my sister's mood."

Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong looked at each other, and then quickly turned their gaze away from each other with disgust.

The two of them stood on either side of Huimin, carefully protecting her, one on the left and one on the right, like two guardian angels.

"Let's go see the lotus flowers."

Huimin is pregnant now, so she walks slowly and is especially careful with her steps.

Xia Dongchun, who was always carefree and walked with a breeze, slowed down his pace and walked carefully with support.

An Lingrong, who was always careful, paid special attention to the road under Huimin's feet and in front of her, staring at the road surface carefully.

The three of them linked arms and quarreled all the way, yet they were surprisingly harmonious.

"I remember when I picked red plums for you, the maids in Yimei Garden all said they were beautiful. Do you think what I picked is beautiful? Do I have good taste?"

Xia Dongchun stole a glance at An Lingrong, rolled his eyes, and secretly showed off himself.

Huimin was about to answer.

An Lingrong seemed to have inadvertently taken the lead.

"I remember last year when Lingrong and my sister were admiring the lotus flowers by the lotus pond, and Lingrong had the honor of teaching my sister to sing. Time flies so fast, a year has passed, but it seems like yesterday."

Huimin was about to speak again.

Xia Dongchun said first:

"Ah, I missed shooting arrows with you last year. I even taught you archery, and the emperor praised me for my good teaching."

The two of them chatted with each other, and both began to recall the past.

Huimin watched the two of them interacting with each other without interrupting.

Although the two of them refused to give in to each other, their relationship was now more peaceful than before, but the hatred in their hearts was less.

Now we can still argue, which is progress.

They quarreled all the way and finally arrived at the lotus pond in a lively manner.

It is the perfect season now, and the pond is full of lotus flowers, which are pure and beautiful.

Huimin couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

The three of them stood beside the lotus pond, looking at the boundless beauty together, laughing and playing.

Even An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun, who had always been at odds with each other, rarely "shook hands and made peace" temporarily and enjoyed this rare quiet time together.

But just as the three of them sat down on the soft stools brought by the palace servants, they saw someone coming towards this direction from afar.

Xia Dongchun looked around and was the first to discover it. She had the best eyesight and saw who that person was. She frowned and gently pulled Huimin's sleeve.

"look."

Huimin was still chatting and laughing with An Lingrong, and they both looked in that direction.

"Fourth Prince? What's he doing?"

When Huimin saw who was coming, the smile on her face faded a little.

An Lingrong seemed not surprised at all and explained to Huimin:

"The Fourth Prince has always been diligent. I heard that he has been here every day these days to memorize his lessons."

Huimin narrowed her eyes slightly, Fourth Prince.

He should have known that she was pregnant, but he still...

Forget it, let’s wait and see, and don’t jump to conclusions.

When the Fourth Prince came closer, Huimin was sure that he was coming towards her and her group.

"Greetings to the virtuous queen, may the queen be blessed with good health."

The Fourth Prince bowed to Huimin in a proper manner and called her affectionately, but he seemed not to notice An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun beside Huimin.

"Please get up quickly."

It was only after Huimin personally held his arm and called out that the Fourth Prince turned his gaze towards Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong.

"Goddess of Chao, Goddess of An, may you be blessed with good fortune"

The Fourth Prince greeted them one by one. Although he was polite, he was not very warm to them.

When Huimin saw his attitude, she knew what was going on.

It's coming for me, and I still want to have it recorded under my name.

But she had never thought of having the Fourth Prince as her own son.

It is foolish to raise a tiger to cause trouble.

Huimin smiled and asked:

"Fourth Prince is here to admire the lotus flowers too?"

The fourth prince said:

"The lotus pond is pleasing to the eye and clears the mind. Hongli feels that reviewing his studies here is more effective than getting twice the result with half the effort."

"This lotus pond has this effect, not bad, it seems that my brother must have a lot of inspiration when looking at the lotus."

Xia Dongchun felt that it was hypocritical to see the Fourth Prince acting like this. She knew very well what he was thinking.

After all, Xia Dongchun himself is the first person under Huimin's protection, and the Fourth Prince's little tricks are not enough for Xia Dongchun, a veteran.

And... the Fourth Prince is not sincere enough. I am devoted to him, but he is fickle.

I heard that she met Zhen Huan, the favored Concubine Wan, a few days ago.

Humph, you want to show goodwill and surrender, but you don’t know how to learn.

Xia Dongchun couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"In this hot weather, you are not studying in the house, but come to the pond every day. Brother, you are in a good mood."

The Fourth Prince showed some embarrassment on his face. He was born in a poor family, lost his biological mother, and was not liked by his father. He had always been walking on thin ice, so he actually had a very strong self-esteem.

He usually hides it well, but Xia Dongchun's weirdness is obvious. After all, the Fourth Prince is young, and he almost couldn't hold it back this time.

"I think this lotus pond is beautiful and it's a good place to study."

The Fourth Prince replied with this and turned his attention back to Huimin. He just felt that this nobleman was really annoying.

"And doesn't Your Majesty also like the scenery of this lotus pond? I'm sure Your Majesty can understand Hongli's feelings."

Seeing that Xia Dongchun was about to retort, Huimin quickly touched Xia Dongchun to remind him.

The Fourth Prince is a vengeful person, so don't let him make you jealous.

"The fourth prince loves to study, and the emperor will surely be happy."

Huimin did not answer the question of "understanding" but just made some nice remarks and changed the subject.
