Lu Fenying was about to push her away, when he saw the edge of a peach-colored dress by the door. He expressionlessly grabbed Xiu’er’s hand and looked at it. There was already a red burn mark on the back of her fair and tender hand; it was a horrible sight.

  “Why are you so careless? If anything happens to your hand, who will make food for me?”


  Mo Qian’er saw this scene when she came in. Her eyes flashed, but she asked calmly, “What’s wrong with Miss Xiu’er?”


  “My…… My lady, I accidentally scalded my hand when I was serving the dishes.”


  Shivering, she rose from Lu Fenying’s arms and stood there pitifully with her hand hanging down.

  Those who didn’t know better would think that Mo Qian’er had asked her to burn her own hand.

  “Then hurry and put some medicine on it. It’ll be terrible if it leaves a mark,” Mo Qian’er said in concern. She then said to Lu Fenying, “Your Majesty, I’ll take the crown prince in to change his clothes first. He was sweating in the carriage just now.”


  Without waiting for Lu Fenying’s reply, she carried the little crown prince inside.

  The crown prince rolled his eyes speechlessly. His father was an idiot.

  His mother was determined to leave him, and he was still acting like this.

  “Take out the new clothes from Princess Zi for the crown prince.” Mo Qian’er was as calm as ever.

  The crown prince was truly worried. She really didn’t care about that trash father of his at all.

  She wasn’t even the least bit jealous.

  The wet nurse took out the clothes, which were made from the best silk.

  The wet nurse watched as Mo Qian’er gently changed the crown prince’s clothes, and she couldn’t help but say, “That Xiu’er is obviously doing it on purpose. She can even burn her hand to the point of falling into His Majesty’s arms……”


  Mo Qian’er smiled. “As long as His Majesty permits it, then she can do it.”


  The wet nurse felt sorry for her. “You should be tougher. How can you let that maid act so devilishly in front of you? Other women will copy her……”


  “The emperor isn’t someone who can be easily manipulated. He knows what he’s doing.”


  The wet nurse didn’t know what to say.

  In Mo Qian’er’s opinion, if Lu Fenying really didn’t like how someone else acted, he would’ve killed them long ago.

  Why would he let Xiu’er do as she pleased?

  It was simply because he permitted it.

  Since he had permitted it, whatever Qian’er said would only make him unhappy.

  There was no need for her to provoke him over such a dull matter.

  Besides, Lu Fenying liked the food that Xiu’er made so much. If he really did anything to her, he wouldn’t be able to eat it, and when that happened, he would look for Qian’er.

  Mo Qian’er was thinking that this was one less thing to worry about.

  Mo Qian’er changed the crown prince’s clothes, then gave him to the wet nurse. “Take the crown prince to rest. I’ll eat first.”


  The wet nurse carried the crown prince down.

  When Mo Qian’er came out, Xiu’er was still there, but it seemed she had already applied the medicine.

  “My lady, you’re here. I’ll prepare the cutlery for you.”


  Mo Qian’er took a look and saw that the cutlery hadn’t been prepared for her yet. That was really good.

  Mo Qian’er shook her head. “There’s no need. I ate at Princess Zi’s place. Your Majesty, I have a request. Can you come over after the meal?”


  Lu Fenying said coldly, “Sit down.”


  “I’ve already eaten.” Mo Qian’er looked at the greasy food and found it unappetizing.
