Chapter 43: Stay for a meal and secrets everywhere

The Empress’s presence is very strong. So, when the Crown Prince saw the scowled expression on her face. He didn’t dare to argue anymore and obediently walk to Lin Chujiu, then cup his hands and bow: “Imperial Aunt, those lone words suddenly slip from my tongue, so this Crown Prince ask Imperial Aunt’s forgiveness.”

The Crown Prince said. But, he didn’t even bow for at least ninety degrees in front of her and his tone doesn’t even have much difference.

So, with his actions or words, anyone could tell that the Crown Prince is not sincere.

Lin Chujiu doesn’t care anyway if he is sincere or not. She just wanted to put him in a trial and wanted him to understand that she is not the same Lin Chujiu anymore.

“Crown Prince, please stand up quickly. You will be the next emperor so how could I just reject your apology.” Lin Chujiu said, but she didn’t even perform a proper bow.

The Crown Prince’s face immediately turns red in anger, but he couldn’t just grab Lin Chujiu. So, he tried to push back his anger and just said: “Lin... ... Imperial Aunt, it seems you already got recovered from your injuries. So, I was wondering when will you visit your home? In these past few days, Wanting have been so worried about you. But, because of Imperial Fourth Uncle’s strictness, Wanting didn’t dare to visit.”

Lin Chujiu sighed and pretended that she felt so embarrassed: “Crown Prince, Prince Xiao is still unwell and simply cannot go out. If he is feeling well, then I wouldn’t visit the palace alone right now. And because Prince Xiao is still like that, how could I just ask him to accompany me to visit our home? I think father and mother would understand that.” Crown Prince if you want to take revenge on me by using her, just keep on dreaming!

“Imperial Aunt, if you can visit the palace alone, then you can also visit your home alone, right? Or could it be that Imperial Aunt doesn’t really want to pay her home a visit?” At that moment, the Crown Prince’s tone change and he ask aggressively. The Empress is not interested with their issue, but still, she just sits and smiles while looking at them.

Lin Chujiu doesn’t care about the empress’s face a bit, so she said with ridicule: “Crown Prince, are you saying that Lin Family can compare to the royal family?”

“Imperial Aunt, are you saying that you don’t consider your family as important?” The Crown Prince frown and didn’t dare to answer her in a positive way. However, Lin Chujiu also didn’t let him pass: “Crown Prince if you really can’t understand then forget it. But, why don’t you ask your teacher, if as long as a Princess is not ill she could just drag herself and pay her home a visit alone?”

This time, Lin Chujiu didn’t deliver her words politely and hinted that the crown prince is stupid. So at that moment, the Crown Prince face change in color and shouted: “Someone come!”

Lin Chujiu faintly smile, but when she was just waiting for the crown prince’s next move the Empress suddenly cough: “Ahem... ...”

“Chujiu, the Crown Prince is just worried about you and acted like a child.” The Empress said and gently smile. And didn’t pay any attention to the crown prince, then added: “Chujiu, Huángshàng (emperor) also ask to prepare a meal for you, so why don’t you stay a bit more in the palace to eat. And as atonement, let the Crown Prince accompany you to the Imperial Garden for now”

After the Empress finished her words, she got up and walk away. Leaving the Crown Prince and Lin Chujiu standing inside the hall.

When Lin Chujiu heard the empress’s words, she thought that going to the Imperial Garden and having a meal is not a good idea. However... ...

“Imperial Aunt, please ... ...” The Crown Prince was furious but didn’t dare to contradict the Empress’s words.

Lin Chujiu didn’t pay much thought. Anyway, Prince Xiao’s maidservants are with her, so she doesn’t need to worry much. After a few minutes, the two of them arrived at the Imperial Garden. And due to the Crown Prince’s diligence, he introduces a lot of flower to her along the way.

Lin Chujiu listen but didn’t walk beside the Crown Prince. Now, she was trying to recall the impression of the original owner of the body to the Crown Prince and Empress’s closeness.

In her memory, Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui is very competent. That’s why the courtiers praise him and the emperor is very pleased with him. The Empress also love him, but... ...

After thinking about it, Lin Chujiu didn’t get convince that the Crown Prince is truly talented. Instead, she even thinks that the Crown Prince is extremely stupid. Does the empress really love him?

But, if she truly loves him, then why she doesn’t show it?

Things about Royal Family is really hard to understand!

Lin Chujiu completely got immersed in her thoughts and no longer listens to the Crown Prince. So, when the Crown Prince notice that he speaks for a long time now, but didn’t get a response, he got very annoyed. However, Lin Chujiu is his elder now so he didn’t dare to speak badly to her.

The Crown Prince despised being ignored, but he tried to control his temper.

But, when the Crown Prince was about to leave, a seven-year-old little boy suddenly came with two eunuchs who has the same size as him: “Older Brother Crown Prince, Sister Chujiu.”

“Zimo, why did you come here? Didn’t you go to your class?” The Crown Prince immediately smile and forgot that he was about to leave.

“Older Brother Crown Prince, I came here to have lunch with you and muhou, so I left my class early.” The little boy looks well-behaved, his big eyes made him look so smart and pleasant.

Lin Chujiu got startled a bit and just remembered that the cute little boy in front of her is the Seventh Prince. He is the empress’s younger and favorite son.

“Seventh Prince.” When Lin Chujiu called him, the Seventh Prince’s eyes immediate fall on Lin Chujiu’s body:” Sister Chujiu... ... oh, I should call you Imperial Aunt now. Imperial Aunt, you didn’t visit me for a long time now, so I thought you already forgot about me.”

The Seventh Prince immediately wrap his arms around Lin Chujiu and acted spoiled. His innocent and lovely face could even stop a ruthless person to push him away.

“Seventh Prince is so cute, so how could I just forget you!” Lin Chujiu thought that the original owner of the body and the Seventh Prince has always been so close. So, she didn’t awkwardly reached out her hands and rubbed his head in exchange to his complaints: “Imperial Aunt, I’m not a baby anymore, so don’t rub my head.”

The Seventh Prince said but didn’t run away. Instead, he continues clinging to Lin Chujiu while moving forward: “Imperial Aunt, there’s nothing good about the Imperial Garden. So, let’s just go and look at the talking bird that I got two days ago.”

So, the Seventh Princes carelessly pull Lin Chujiu on his private quarter. As for the Crown Prince? The two of them didn’t pay any attention to him anymore.

The Seventh Princes is just like any naughty child. Aside from bringing his talking bird, he also took out his toys and ask Lin Chujiu to play with him.

Such innocent and forthright are natural to a child.

The Seventh Prince act like any normal children, so at that moment, Lin Chujiu felt surprised.

The Royal Family are also raising their child just like normal children?

But of course, no matter what Lin Chujiu thinks she could just keep it inside her heart. And somehow, she thinks that entering the palace is really like entering a battlefield. The Empress is very scheming, while the Seventh Prince ask her to play with him, which she finds no any difference.

Lin Chujiu and the Seven Prince continue playing and just stopped when a maidservant reported that it was time for lunch and the Emperor will come to Luan Feng Hall to have a meal together.

“Imperial Aunt, my clothes are dirty. I want to change my clothes first before I go. I can’t let fu huang (father) see me looking like this.” The Seventh Prince look at his dress in despised and pulled off his clothes.

“Ok, you can go. I want to tidy up myself too.” Lin Chujiu brushed off his clothes and smile calmly.

When the two of them turned around and went away on their own way. Their facial expression changed.

“When I get back, I better ask Wangye about the Seventh Prince.” Lin Chujiu said while her eyes are still in a deep thought.

“Tell Muhou (mother) that Lin Chujiu got even more difficult to deal with than before. She might really know that secret, so marrying him to Prince Xiao is wrong.” The Seventh Prince’s face turns gloomy and no longer has the innocent and lovely face he had before.

In the palace, everyone seems hiding a big secret... ...
