Xie Wuji raised his face, looked at Lin Junxue, and showed a long-lost smile.

He seldom smiles...

Because there is nothing worthwhile and nothing worthwhile at all.

Today's smile is truly sincere and comes from the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, Xie Wuji felt the real "warmth" and "care"

Lin Junxue reached out and pinched Xie Wuji's face. Xie Wuji's face immediately turned red and he spoke softly.

"My Queen, this is against the rules."

Lin Junxue curled her lips and picked up the osmanthus cake and put it on the plate in front of him.

"In Zhonghe Palace, the Empress is the rule. It's okay. Eat more."

Xie Wuji nodded and said softly, "Okay."

The two of them had their meal together, and then according to custom they had to stay up all night and not sleep.

Xie Wuji sat obediently on the stool, his posture upright. Despite his young age, his every move was proper and proper, without any mistakes.

Lin Junxue asked Danzhen to prepare fresh grape juice for him.

Xie Wuji took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaimed "It tastes good"

Lin Junxue said, "Drink more if you like."

It was the first time that Xie Wuji relaxed in front of others like this, showing his preference and drinking two cups.

While staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, Xie Wuji looked at Lin Junxue with some confusion in his eyes, but he finally asked.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't I come to pay my respects to you?"

Lin Junxue put down the teacup. Behind her, Qiao Xin and the other two looked at each other.

The eldest prince really shouldn't have come to Zhonghe Palace to pay his respects today.

Because of what happened two days ago, although the emperor's suspicions have dissipated, it does not mean that he will no longer have doubts.

If the eldest prince came to Zhonghe Palace to pay his respects on New Year's Eve, it would indeed arouse the emperor's suspicion again, which is a troublesome matter.

Lin Junxue pondered for a few seconds, looked at the eldest prince who looked nervous, and chuckled softly, her laughter was meaningful.

"Prince, you are very smart."

Xie Wuji was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Lin Junxue meant?

Lin Junxue said, "Two days ago, in the Imperial Garden, you did it on purpose, right? You wanted to use me to punish the stubborn servants around you, so you deliberately led those two maids to scold you in the Imperial Garden so that I could see it."

As soon as this word comes out

Qiao Xin and the other two were startled and looked at Xie Wuji, who was sitting there with an obviously shocked expression.

Lin Junxue was very patient and did not continue to ask. In fact, she had already seen it that day in the Imperial Garden.

Xie Wuji did it on purpose

However, he was just taking a gamble and was not sure that he would stand up for him.

Even if the princes in this palace are in a bad situation, how could there be any real fools?

for a while

Xie Wuji said nothing, stood up, knelt on the ground, his eyes red, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, I have nowhere else to turn, so I let go to gain your sympathy. It is my fault and I shouldn't have done this. Please punish me, Your Majesty. I have no complaints."

At this moment, Xie Wuji no longer had the nervousness he had when they first met, but was filled with the courage and strength to risk everything.

His words were an admission that the incident with the Imperial Garden was indeed something he had carefully planned.

Lin Junxue smiled faintly

She didn't blame Xie Wuji at all. When people are in trouble, it is understandable for them to try to find ways to escape and save themselves.

The fact that he could think of this solution shows that he is a smart person.

She likes handsome and smart people, so Xie Wuji is very much to her liking.

If Xie Wuji was of humble origin and stupid, that would be annoying!

Just when Xie Wuji thought that Lin Junxue would be fed up with him because of this calculation, and felt disappointed that the warm rumor he had just received had slipped through his fingers.

Lin Junxue spoke

"My lord, I saw it that day but did not expose it and punished the servant. I will not punish you for this now, so you don't have to kneel. Stand up."

Xie Wuji looked up in disbelief at Lin Junxue, who had a calm expression.

Is the Empress really not angry?

Lin Junxue smiled and said, "I'm not angry. Get up and talk."

Xie Wuji then stood up and lowered his head, "My Queen, I'm sorry."

Lin Junxue stood up and walked in front of him. "Raise your head and look at me."

Next second

Xie Wuji raised his head with red eyes. Lin Junxue said, "My Lord, do you know why I am willing to help you even though I see everything clearly?"

Xie Wuji thought about it, and finally shook his head, "Madam Queen, I don't know."

Xie Wuji was not pretending to be stupid, he really couldn't understand this matter.

Why did the Empress know about this? Why did she help him punish the wicked slave?

Lin Junxue stared into his eyes and said calmly, "Because you are someone who deserves my help. I believe in you. There will be unlimited possibilities in the future."

Xie Wuji was stunned, then shook his head in self-mockery.

"Your Majesty, the best future for a prince like me is to be a leisurely prince in the future. There is no other possibility. I know this."

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Prince, do you believe in these four words, 'Man can conquer nature'? Although birth is very important, it is not impossible to change one's destiny. What choice will a person make? How will he act? That is the most important thing."

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Wuji, who was thinking in front of her, and had other ideas in her mind.

She was in the harem and had taken medicine that could keep her infertile for ten years. From the beginning to the end, she had no intention of giving birth to a child.

But she can't live without the prince, so at the moment, Xie Wuji is her best choice.

She could totally train a "prince" who had no blood relationship with her to be her future support.

Although the process will inevitably be difficult, everything is difficult, and she has already prepared herself mentally.

A good while

Xie Wuji looked up at Lin Junxue, as if he had already made some decision in his heart. His face was firm, his eyes were extremely determined, and he bowed.

"Madam Empress, I want to change our destiny with you. Please rest assured, if one day you have a prince, I know what to do."

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Wuji who had figured things out. This child had the decisiveness of an emperor.

The fact that Xie Wuji was able to make such a decision in a short period of time after she said what she just said shows his character and intelligence.

As long as it is polished over time, it will definitely give people unexpected surprises.

Xie Wuji needs her and she needs Xie Wuji. No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win situation.

Lin Junxue took Xie Wuji's hand, walked to the window, and looked at the white snow outside.

She curled her lips and said, "My prince, the road ahead is long. The Empress will accompany you. I hope you will not let her down. Life is full of thorns. Only by breaking through them can you usher in the light. Everything is difficult, but from now on, you are no longer alone."

Xie Wuji stared at Lin Junxue in a daze, at that flawless, breathtaking face.

From now on, is he really no longer alone?

What if the Empress Dowager has her own son one day?

Lin Junxue seemed to see through his inner thoughts and said calmly, "My Queen, there will be no prince in this life."
