Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 196 Begonia Fruit

"My lady, aren't you in a hurry?"

Lu Xiyin was silent for a long while, then smiled with tears in her eyes, "Why am I not anxious? But what's the use of being anxious? If His Majesty doesn't come, I can't leave. What do you want me to do?"

"Don't cry, mother. Don't cry, mother."

The Sixth Prince, who was still a little kid, imitated Gao Yun's way of comforting him while he was crying and gently patted Lu Xinyin's back. However, he failed to comfort the other person and he couldn't hold it in either, so he burst into tears.

Seeing that he had also started crying, Lu Xinyin couldn't stop crying. The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly, leaving Gao Yun standing by at a loss.

"My Lady, My Lady, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned it."

After crying for a while and venting the uneasy emotions in her heart, Lu Xinyin was still sobbing, but her tears had completely stopped.

Lu Xinyin raised her head and looked at the Sixth Prince, who looked very much like Qin Zhi and was crying ugly, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tears were still on her eyelashes, and her almond-shaped eyes, which had been crying, looked like the sun just after the rain.

Although her fair and rosy face was thin and pointed, her skin was as clear as peeled lychee flesh.

This burst of crying was like a heavy rain that washed away Lu Xinyin's increasing panic, confusion and exhaustion as she stayed in the cold palace.

Lu Xinyin's laughter was so abrupt that the Sixth Prince gradually stopped crying when he saw it.

"Mother, why are you laughing?" the Sixth Prince asked with tears in his eyes.

"Mother is laughing at us Begonias." Lu Xinyin couldn't help laughing.

Because the Sixth Prince had no formal name, when he was one year old in March of this year, Lu Xinyin gave him a nickname, Haitangguo.

"Why are you laughing at me?" the Sixth Prince asked with a pout.

"Mother saw the sore throat in your throat when you howled. It was a little funny."

"Ah!" The Sixth Prince opened his mouth wide, allowing Lu Xinyin to look at his throat.

"Hurry up and shut your mouth. You might think Haitangguo is so hungry in the cold palace that he wants to eat his mother!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I will not eat my mother." The Sixth Prince hugged Lu Xinyin's waist and screamed loudly.

"Shut up and don't scream." Lu Xinyin pinched his cheek and said coldly.

Why do children like to scream so much? It really annoys her and hurts her ears.

The screams stopped abruptly the moment Lu Xinyin pinched the Sixth Prince's face, and it was quiet for a while as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, the Sixth Prince became restless again, asking a hundred thousand questions and keeping talking.

"Mother, why do we have to live in the cold palace?"

The Sixth Prince was the first to speak. Normally, Lu Xinyin sat in the Chongde Hall with nothing to do. The lonely Lu Xinyin was very happy when the Sixth Prince was able to speak.

Day and night, she wholeheartedly taught the Sixth Prince to speak, to recognize every tree and blade of grass in Chongde Hall, day and night, sunshine, rain and snow, as well as the sky in the four corners of Chongde Hall.

From simple names and phrases repeated every day to sentences.

Soon, the Sixth Prince was able to ask questions independently instead of just parroting others.

As for the Sixth Prince asking the same questions dozens of times every day, and then not remembering the answers and asking again, Lu Xinyin did not feel impatient at all because of the Sixth Prince's resemblance to Qin Zhi's face and the motherly love in his heart. She answered until her mouth was dry but she never gave any perfunctory answers.

"Who told you this is the cold palace? Didn't mother tell you? Because mother made a mistake, she was put in solitary confinement and had to reflect on her mistakes in Chongde Palace. It also implicated us, Haitangguo, who was also imprisoned here when she was in mother's belly."

At an angle that the Sixth Prince was not noticing, Lu Xinyin raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Yun coldly.

Gao Yun frowned and shook his head slightly, motioning Lu Xinyin to look at the few palace servants and eunuchs doing chores outside.

Last year, when Lü Xinyin went to see the empress dowager off, the group of palace maids and eunuchs she brought out from Hanzhang Palace returned to the Shanggong Bureau to wait for assignment after Lü Xinyin asked for their opinions, and did not stay to serve.

Because diehard loyalists like Aunt Bai Zhong had already been purged by His Majesty.

Of the palace maids and eunuchs that the Empress Dowager had assigned to serve in Chongde Hall, only Gao Yun and a man named Cen Yun were left.

Except for Gao Yun and Cen Yun, the few palace servants and eunuchs in Chongde Hall were sent here to do rough work after Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe, who had been given the right to assist in palace affairs, asked the Queen for mercy.

Lu Xinyin never dared to let these people be alone with the Sixth Prince. As a result of negligence, the Sixth Prince actually learned the term "cold palace" from them?

"What's the relationship between Chongde Hall and the Cold Palace?"

"Haitangguo, can you please tell mother who told you that this is the cold palace?"

"My mother fell asleep. I was in the room and they were outside the window. I heard them talking about the cold palace. They said my mother and Haitangguo were locked up in the cold palace."

The Sixth Prince's expression of long sentences was still a little discontinuous, but the content of his expression was very clear.

"The place we are staying in is called Chongde Hall, not the Cold Palace. Do you believe my mother, or those gossiping servants?"

"Mother, I believe you." The Sixth Prince answered very quickly.

"Haitangguo is really well behaved. Haitangguo is still young. You must have your mother or Aunt Gao Yun accompany you wherever you go in the future, okay? If you are not cautious, there is also Cen Yun."

"it is good."

"Mother, I did nothing wrong, why doesn't Father come to see me?"

"Because your father is busy, and you have several brothers outside Chongde Hall who want to compete with you!"

"Mother, I don't like my brothers. Did they take my father away?"

"Yes, they have taken away your father's attention from you, so that your father has no time to visit you."

"Mother, I hate them."

"Mother hates them too, but Haitangguo can only say this in front of mother, understand? Your father doesn't like petty children, he would definitely want you brothers to live in harmony, so in order for your father to like you more, when you see your brothers, you must behave well-behaved, sensible and pitiful, and never quarrel with them."

"Mother, I don't understand."

"Haitangguo is still young, she will slowly understand in the future."
