Qin Junyu felt really refreshed when he heard this intimate name. The anger he had just felt disappeared instantly, and he felt like the happiest person in the world.

The corners of his mouth slowly rose uncontrollably, but were manually pressed down by Nian Susu.

"Ahem..." Qin Junyu tried his best to control his expression. "It's okay. The Queen accidentally knocked over the teacup just now. It's okay. Really. It's okay."

He blinked his eyes and looked at Nian Su Su pitifully, like a bullied puppy seeking comfort from his owner.

The Queen cried out that it was too much to watch. She had lived long enough to see everything, even Qin Junyu acting like a coquettish child. Was he still the Crown Prince who was usually cold and aloof and kept people at a distance?

"It turned out to be the Empress." Nian Susu straightened up and looked at the Empress meaningfully, "You said you were not here to call for punishment? You knew that my prince had injured his leg and was unable to move, but you still came to target him. If the Emperor knew about this, I wonder what he would think of you."

"Nonsense!" The queen was furious. "I am here to visit the prince on behalf of the emperor. How could I possibly target him?"

"Oh my, you're angry. Did I get it right?" Nian Susu asked sarcastically.

The queen was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. It just so happened that Nian Susu was right, and she couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

In the end, the queen was "defeated".

"The Crown Princess is really sharp-tongued." The Queen left with these words and left.

Nian Susu's emotions only dared to show at this moment. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to check on Qin Junyu's condition.

Ah Falcon ran over and pushed Jing Xue aside, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Qin Junyu answered Ah Falcon's question, but he was looking at Nian Susu, "I'm fine."

Nian Susu put his hands on his hips angrily, "The Queen is so good at picking the right time. She actually took advantage of my absence to bully you. But don't worry, I will stay by your side in the future. Don't let her take advantage of me again!"

After she finished speaking, she remembered that there was a stranger here.

Jingxue looked at her, then at Qin Junyu, and dared to believe what she had just heard.

The Crown Princess protects the Crown Prince? !

Isn't this location wrong?

She twitched her lips, remembered something, and knelt down hurriedly, "Crown Princess, I came to see you, and happened to see His Highness and the Queen arguing. I was worried, so I barged in without permission. Please forgive me, Your Highness, Crown Princess."

Nian Susu was stunned and shocked by Jingxue's speed of reaction. He hadn't even started to blame her yet, but she took the initiative to admit her mistake. How could he hold her accountable?

Jingxue straightened up, tears like pearls falling from a string, she looked at Qin Junyu with tearful eyes, her voice soft and gentle: "Your Highness, I am also worried about you, Your Highness must know it in your heart, right?"

The Queen had just said it so bluntly, and His Highness hadn't refuted it. Jingxue didn't believe that he didn't have that thought in his mind.

However, Qin Junyu kept a straight face and said without any emotion: "I don't know."

He felt sick at the thought of the contact just now.

Nian Susu was not in the mood to guess what Jingxue was thinking, so he just told her to go back.

Jingxue was obviously reluctant, but Ajun's eyes were wide open, staring at her like a thief, so Jingxue had no choice but to leave.

Caiyue Pavilion.

At this hour, the palace maids in Caiyue Pavilion were having lunch, except for Jingxue's seat, which was empty. A few nosy people asked about it, because Jingxue, Lingxiu and Yunqing were usually close, so everyone's attention naturally fell on them.

Lingxiu stuffed her cake with big mouthfuls, not caring about these things. She replied vaguely, "I don't know," and continued to eat.

Yun Qing had a bad attitude and answered coldly: "How should I know? Will she report to me where she goes?"

The maids who wanted to watch the fun immediately became excited. They turned around, stopped eating, and grabbed Yun Qing to ask, "What's going on? Did you three break up?"

"No." Yun Qing stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth without changing his expression.

Lingxiu hasn't realized what's happening yet, but in her opinion, Jingxue is the one who's going to be their master, and they can't afford to lose this big brother. If Jingxue has misunderstandings because of their crazy words, it would not be worth it.

She hurriedly helped Yun Qing explain: "She is not feeling well. We are so good to Jingxue, how could we break up? Stop asking." Lingxiu urged them to shut up.

Several people lost interest in an instant and sat back in their seats listlessly.

Lingxiu pushed Yunqing and whispered, "Yunqing, I know you have a problem with Jingxue, but she's not a bad person. She even promised to help us when we become rich. Just bear with it, okay?"

Yun Qing's face turned pale and he didn't answer.

Lingxiu just thought she took it to heart.

Just when things had quieted down here, the main character that everyone was talking about, Jingxue, came back.

She was in high spirits and walked into the crowd with a proud look on her face. Her smug look made people feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, what good news is this?" The palace maid who had always been at odds with Jingxue asked sarcastically.

Because Jingxue usually acts in a high-profile manner and always looks down on others, many people in Caiyue Pavilion dislike her very much.

But because Jingxue was beautiful, they were afraid that Jingxue would be favored by a master one day, and turn into a phoenix, and retaliate against those who had offended her. Therefore, they did not dare to target her openly. They could only speak in a sarcastic way and use some sneaky tricks behind her back.

Jingxue herself knew this, but in her opinion, these lowly and lowly palace maids who were ugly and had no advantages were dissatisfied with her just because of jealousy.

In her own words: "It is my destiny to be excluded."

"Hehe." Jingxue raised her chin higher. Everyone's eyes were on her. She enjoyed this feeling very much. She kept it in suspense and didn't say anything immediately.

When someone impatiently asked again, she said smugly, "I just saw the Queen Mother, and there were only the Queen Mother and His Highness there, and I was serving on the side."

Her tail was raised to the sky, and she was waiting for their envious and surprised voices.

Jingxue was not disappointed by the palace maids' reactions. They opened their eyes wide, mouths agape, and discussed the information they heard enthusiastically with their companions around them.

"Is this true? Doesn't His Highness never allow maids to serve him? And this is even more so with the Empress present. This is unheard of and unseen before!"

"No way, could it be that His Highness really likes Jingxue and wants to take her as a concubine?"

"Maybe he just happened to need someone to serve him, and Jingxue was the only one around, so he called her over. The Crown Princess is so beautiful, she is not on the same level as Jingxue at all. How could His Highness marry the Crown Princess and still be interested in Jingxue?"
