Why Did His Highness the Young Lord Look So Sad from Behind?

So that's what they wanted to ask in private. Lin Luo hid behind the curtain, continuing to watch the show.

"I'm sorry, Nanzhi, I've always thought of you as a younger sister."

Qian Renxue looked at her and could only say this.

Although the younger sister is innocent, it's necessary to be ruthless. One wife is troublesome enough; you can't marry another one.

"Impossible... My brother, the Crown Prince, should like me too. We've known each other for so many years."

Li Nanzhi's eyes reddened as she spoke to herself. Suddenly, she couldn't help but step forward and hug Qian Renxue, then stood on tiptoe to kiss her.

Lin Luo stared, completely mesmerized.

Qian Renxue panicked, raising her head and waving her hands haphazardly. "Nanzhi, calm down!"

Wow! So you guys are here!

Lin Luo suddenly jumped out, startling the two of them.

Having age is an advantage.

Li Nanzhi's mouth froze. She turned her head and glanced at the little boy who had suddenly jumped out beside her. Then, she burst into tears of shame and indignation, wiping away her tears as she ran out.

It seems she's still someone who cares about her reputation. Lin Luo was afraid that if she jumped out, Li Nanzhi would still press her lips to Qian Renxue's face.

If Qian Renxue were to be kissed by a girl again, she would be completely devastated.

She collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself in disbelief, "These girls are terrifying! Why do they all suddenly become so fond of their relatives?"

Lin Luo abruptly exposed her. "You're still talking about them? You've even kissed my butt."

"..." Qian Renxue twitched her lips, looking at her awkwardly. "That's different. You were little back then. Why don't you stick your ass out for me to see now?"

Lin Luo turned around and stuck her butt out at her.

"Smack!"

A slap rang out, and Lin Luo immediately clutched his buttocks, feeling a burning pain.

Qian Renxue gave a haughty snort, got up and walked out.

Ye Lingling is still outside.

The girl witnessed Li Nanzhi running out crying and had some guesses in her mind.

"Your Highness... Sister, is the situation... still stable?"

"Why are you suddenly stuttering?" Qian Renxue looked at Ye Lingling with amusement, then stepped forward and gave She Long was waiting outside, a wink.

The latter understood, and its mental energy began to act as a sentry.

Ye Lingling scratched her head. "This is my first time in the palace, and I'm a little lost when something like this happens."

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

At this moment, Lin Luo came out of the inner room rubbing his bottom. Qian Renxue glanced at him with annoyance and said to Ye Lingling, "This little guy should have told you about His Majesty's request, right?"

The latter nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Qian Renxue sat in her seat, quietly pondering for a moment. As if suddenly remembering something, she looked up and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot, I haven't officially met Lingling yet."

Ye Lingling was puzzled, but then she saw Qian Renxue lightly touch her brow, and a stunningly beautiful face quickly replaced the man's face.

Her clothes instantly loosened, but her chest area bulged out high.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Although we met once before, it was too rushed, and I didn't have a chance to talk to you."

Looking at him more closely than last time, Ye Lingling's eyes trembled, and her pretty face flushed slightly as she was deeply captivated by his good looks.

If there had to be one reason in the world for her to fall in love with a woman, it would definitely be the Crown Prince's sister.

"Lingling, you're one of the few people who have seen what I really look like."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she took the girl's small hand and gently patted it.

Overwhelmed by this trust, Ye Lingling nodded, flattered. "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

Qian Renxue: "Of course I believe you. Let's get back to what we were just talking about. As for the pregnancy, after thinking it over, I can only fake it."

Ye Lingling immediately asked, "What should we do on the day the child is born...?"

"There's always a way to get by."

At this point, Qian Renxue suddenly remembered her unexplained pregnancy. She wished Ye Lingling could also get pregnant unexpectedly, as it would save her a lot of trouble.

Just then, a small head beside her suddenly looked up at her.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Qian Renxue's face instantly tightened.

Ye Lingling covered her mouth and laughed.

That evening, the strange family of three dined together in an odd atmosphere.

After dinner, it was already night. Qian Renxue said casually, "It's getting late. Since we'll be living together from now on, why don't you stay here for the night, Lingling?"

"Huh? Is it convenient?" Ye Lingling covered her mouth in surprise.

Lin Luo: "Not at all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Renxue pinched his lips with her fingers, silencing him.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "It will definitely be inconvenient at first, but there's always an adjustment period. Stay here."

"Alright then."

Staying overnight in the palace for the first time was quite a novel experience for Ye Lingling.

I definitely can't sleep in Qian Renxue's arms tonight, so annoying... Lin Luo's face was tense as he carried his change of clothes towards the bathtub.

Qian Renxue ignored his sour face, led Ye Lingling around her palace, and finally pulled her to her sleeping place.

"I'll be resting here tonight." Qian Renxue finished speaking and glanced at Ye Lingling, tentatively asking, "Lingling, would you like to sleep alone tonight, or...?"

Ye Lingling blushed slightly and lowered her head. "If I sleep alone, wouldn't it be pointless to get used to married life today?"

That makes sense, but I want to sleep with my son in my arms... Qian Renxue thought to herself, but smiled and said, "Of course, I also want to chat with Lingling tonight."

"Huh? Does Your Highness usually sleep with the Crown Prince?"

Ye Lingling stared at the two pillows on the bed and asked in surprise, one of which was a size smaller and had a clearly cartoonish pattern on it.

Qian Renxue's expression hardened, and she quickly stepped forward, tossed Lin Luo's small pillow into the air, and then kicked it away with a flourish.

Then, she turned around and denied it with a smile, "No way, that brat must have sneaked onto my bed to play again while I was away."

Lin Luo opened the door after taking a shower, and the pillow that had been kicked away landed on his face with a "smack".

He squatted down expressionlessly, then stood up, picked up his pillow, and left silently, his small figure looking desolate and forlorn.

Fine, from now on I'm superfluous. You two can enjoy your time together...

The two women by the bed silently watched Lin Luo's departing figure.

Ye Lingling couldn't help but whisper, "Why does His Highness's back look a little sad..."

Qian Renxue laughed heartily, "He's faking it! This kid loves acting the most."

After saying that, she seemed unable to resist glancing silently towards the doorway again.

He's not really sad, is he...?

No matter how mature Lin Luo usually appears, in Qian Renxue's heart he is still a child.

Ye Lingling hadn't changed her clothes, so Qian Renxue took out a bunch from her storage ring and laid them on the bed.

Ye Lingling examined each garment, then suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, aren't you going to prepare some pretty clothes? They all look so conservative, even a bit old-fashioned, not at all matching your figure and appearance..."
