As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 64 Don’t love those women
"Your Highness, you——" Aunt Zhao behind the Crown Princess couldn't help but say something.

Crown Princess Wang raised her hand to tell her to shut up.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I am also concerned about your health. As long as you can hold on... Are you here to deliver food to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

She looked at the food box Xuan Ming was carrying behind Yun Qi, and her smile became gentler: "His Highness is more sensible now, and the Prince can be more tolerant."

Yun Qi said coldly: "I have something to talk to my father about."

The implication is, if you are fine, leave immediately and don't disturb me.

Crown Princess Wang nodded: "Well, could you please bring this midnight snack in for the Crown Prince?"

Aunt Zhao sent the food box forward.

Xuan Ming glanced at Yun Qi hesitantly, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he took the food box.

The princess looked at the silhouette of the prince working hard on the window of the Zen courtyard, and sighed quietly, with deep concern in her eyes.

She said nothing, turned and left.

Xuan Ming looked at the princess's back and whispered, "She is really good-tempered."

A person has such a good temper at all times. No matter how harsh words others say, he can always be gentle and treat him like a Guanyin Bodhisattva.

But where is the true Bodhisattva in the world?

Some of them are fake and well-intentioned.

Yun Qi turned around and walked inside.

Xuan Ming chased after two steps and asked: "Your Highness, this midnight snack——"

"Take care of it yourself." Yun Qi said, took the food box he had prepared, and walked to the door of the wing.

The prince's guard commander cupped his hand towards Yun Qi and asked someone to go in and report.

After a while, Yun Qi entered the side room.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" The prince frowned and dealt with the official duties at hand, without raising his head: "Is something wrong?"

"Seeing the lights in my father's yard, I thought my father would be busy with official duties, so I brought some midnight snacks over." Yun Qi put the food box on the table in front of the prince.

The prince paused and slowly raised his head.

Because he hasn't had much rest recently, the prince's eyes are a little red and his face is a little haggard.

But his gaze at Yun Qi was still sharp.

Yun Qi has performed well in the past two months, but the prince is not happy.

Thinking that Yun Qi performed so well, most likely because of Xie Zhaozhao, the prince felt angry in his heart.

"There are people taking care of my food and drink. If you care about late-night snacks, why not pay more attention to the important affairs of the various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee."

The prince said coldly: "And you will be pregnant in two months, and the young lady of the Chen family will also come to Beijing——"

"Father." Yun Qi interrupted the prince: "I will not marry Chen Shulan, absolutely."

The prince's face suddenly changed, "How presumptuous! You don't want to marry Chen Shulan but you want to marry Xie Zhaozhao? She is Chu Nanxuan's fiancée. Do you want to seize my wife?"

"I have my own idea about this matter." Yun Qi took out the pastries from the food box and placed them on the simple and clean square table. "Father, let's eat something first."

The prince said that he looked so obsessed with Xie Zhaozhao that the veins on his forehead twitched with anger. How could he still be in the mood for a midnight snack?
The prince said coldly: "Back off!"

"I heard that this is my mother-in-law's favorite food." Yun Qi didn't seem to hear and said this calmly.

The prince was stunned for a moment.

Yun Qi asked: "Father, do you still remember the taste of the pastries that my mother-in-law likes to eat?"

In the past, Yun Qi hardly talked about her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, with the prince. When she did, she would be irritable and resentful that the prince was busy with government affairs and did not take good care of his mother-in-law, leaving her to die at a young age.

He even hated the prince for letting so many women live in the East Palace after his mother's concubine Lu passed away.Regarding the matter of the former Crown Princess Lu, Yun Qi had deep resentment towards the Crown Prince.

But today Yun Qi's tone was calm and gentle.

Talking about this matter seems like a commonplace conversation.

No longer covered in thorns.

The prince thought of his dead wife, and after a moment of silence he said, "Of course I know."

Yun Qi calmly put the cakes away and made tea. Then he went to the prince and took the ink pen away from the prince's hand. "If my mother-in-law knows that you work so hard and don't take care of your body, you will definitely be angry."

The prince glanced at Yun Qi in astonishment and wanted to shout "presumptuous".

But after all, he looked at Yun Qi, whose facial features were similar to his wife's, and said nothing.

He walked to the table and sat down, pinched a piece of plum blossom-shaped pastry and put it in his mouth. It was a meal.

After reluctantly swallowing it, the prince said: "It tastes wrong!"

"Oh, I'll buy it somewhere else next time." Yun Qi said nonchalantly. He had already sat down at the prince's original seat, took the approved official documents aside, and flipped through the pile of uncorrected ones to look at.

The prince frowned: "These are important court affairs, and I won't tolerate your playing around. Put it down!"

"You eat, and I'll read it to you." Yun Qi looked at it carefully, "Then you tell me how to approve it, and I'll write it."

The prince's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly, "You will have to kneel in Guande Hall tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter." Yun Qi said casually and then began to talk about the contents of the official document in his hand.

He reads quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, and does not read word for word, but only talks about what is important.

The prince was a little speechless by his gesture, but the fatigue was real, so he told him how to approve the reply and asked Yun Qi to write it.

The two of them worked together as father and son, occasionally discussing, and soon finished approving a stack of official documents.

The prince also frowned and ate all the plate of pastries while holding back his disgust.

Yun Qi said: "Isn't it delicious?"

"I'm just hungry." The prince said expressionlessly as he picked up the tea and took a sip.

Yun Qi thought for a while and suddenly asked: "My father remembers the taste of pastries so clearly, so I guess he also remembers my mother deeply, right?"

The prince glanced at Yun Qi, "What do you want to say?"

"I'm very curious." Yun Qi said lightly: "Since the memory is so profound, why do you still put so many women in the East Palace?"

The prince slowly put the tea cup back on the table, "This involves government affairs and interests."

"Those women's families have some agenda, so they are sent to the East Palace. There will be no intrigues or intrigues overt or covert."

"Being alone in the whirlpool of the court situation, I also see many calculations in my eyes. Over time, I have become accustomed to it."

"There are many women in the East Palace, many of whom are talented and beautiful. But once interests are mixed in, their kindness to Gu is no longer pure."

"I will treat those women well and work together with those women's families. I will occasionally admire a smart and capable woman, but that's all."

"Except for your mother and concubine, the other women in the East Palace are all subordinates and courtiers to Gu."

Yun Qi was silent for a moment and said: "That's why my father only loves his mother and concubines, and will not love those women."

"Your mother-in-law..." The prince's eyes were deep, filled with tenderness: "She is unique."

The prince and Yun Qi's mother-in-law Lu were a young couple. They had an eye for thousands of years and a deep love. How could it be compared to any other woman?

Yun Qi suddenly said: "My father has someone he only loves, and Grandpa Huang also has someone he only loves. Why can't I have one?"

"I don't like other people. It's not that they are not good enough, but that someone already occupies that position in my heart."
