Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 263 Encounter

After finishing school, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu separated from his cousin and study partner Liu Jingzhou and came to the Pepper Palace again.

After paying a visit to Shen Ningyue, he went to see Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue, Princess Zhaode Qin Lingyi and his ninth brother Qin Mingxuan and played with them for a while.

Qin Mingxuan, my father is so biased.

When Qin Mingyu looked at his ninth brother Qin Mingxuan, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

My grandfather is right. Even if my ninth brother is the heir chosen by our father, he is still young and may not be able to grow up healthily.

Moreover, his ninth brother is younger than him. By the time his ninth brother goes to school, he may have already been entrusted with important tasks by his father.

My father did not make my ninth brother the crown prince. He is my father's eldest son and there is no need for him to belittle himself.

"Mother? I greet you, Mother!"

After the eldest prince Qin Mingyu declined Shen Ningyue's offer to keep him for dinner, he came out of the Pepper Room and happened to run into his mother Shi Qingzhang. When he looked at Shi Qingzhang, he looked back, but did not see Sui Wan, and raised his brows slightly.

He lowered his eyes, bowed his head and saluted respectfully.

"Mingyu, why did you come out of the Pepper Palace?" Shi Qingzhang stepped forward and took Qin Mingyu's hand.

"Mother originally wanted to bring gifts and ask you to come and congratulate the Queen. His Highness the Ninth Prince has been given a great name, so we must celebrate it well.

Who knew you were not in Lanlin Palace, and after school, you came straight to Jiaofang Palace."

"I like my brothers and sisters in the Queen Mother's Palace very much. As soon as I finish school, I like to come and see them without thinking too much.

Xiaojiu's name!

Xiaojiu just got a name, and I don't think it's necessary to come and congratulate him specially.

Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, Xiaojiu, and sister Zhaode were all given names by our emperor, and the decree was issued at the same time. Are you here only to congratulate Xiaojiu?

Besides, Xiaojiu's name is too loud, and the private discussions in the palace are very sensitive. I think this is not good for both the mother and Xiaojiu."

My grandfather said that my ninth brother's birth was not glorious, and everyone in the court knew it. The court officials would not like a legitimate son who was tainted at birth. This was his chance.

He must be the eldest son of the emperor who respects his stepmother and is friendly to his brothers and sisters in order to gain the favor of the court officials.

"Mingyu has grown up. It's your mother's fault for not thinking it through enough." Shi Qingzhang did not refute after hearing the eldest prince's dissatisfied words.

"Mother, you are pregnant, so please don't go out if you can. Mother is kind and will definitely not alienate you."

Shi Qingzhang gazed at the eldest prince Qin Mingyu with a faint smile, and after he stopped, he touched his head.

"Thank you Mingyu for your concern. Can Mingyu go back to the Pepper Room with my mother? My mother is craving for the food from the Queen Mother. I wonder if the Queen Mother is willing to let us have a meal here!"

Shi Qingzhang raised his eyes to look at Xiaoji who was approaching and joked.

If the eldest prince is bewitched by Sui Wan again when he returns and wants to release her, she will be so angry that she will die. It is better to do it today than to wait for another day. There is no need to wait until she gives birth to mention it. She will say today that Sui Wan can no longer stay with her and the eldest prince.

"Lady Shi Yi'an, the Queen is waiting for you in the palace!

If you want to eat here, you may as well bribe me. I am not being arrogant, but I will say a few good words for you to the Queen, and you can have as many meals as you want."

“Miss Xiaoji, if you make such a loud noise, everyone in the palace will know that you have demanded a bribe from me.

Here, I have fixed your hairpin for you. Do you like it?" Shi Qingzhang asked the palace maid to hand the hairpin wrapped in a small handkerchief to Xiaoji.

This hairpin was given to Xiaoji by Shen Ningyue. It has a very unique style and was said to be a treasure for her.

Xiaoji insisted on showing off, so he wore the hairpin, but he was so happy that he ended up breaking it and his heart was broken.

Originally, Xiao Ji was planning to take it to the decoration room to be repaired, but Shi Qingzhang saw it and took it away, saying that he wanted to use it to practice and promised to return it to Xiao Ji after it was repaired. Xiao Ji was embarrassed to refuse, and thought that if Shi Qingzhang damaged it, he could just ask the decoration room to repair it again.

Xiaoji opened the handkerchief with a smile, looked at the delicate hairpin that had been repaired, and said with a smile:

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. Lady Shi is very clever and skillful. When I have some free time, I will learn the craft of making hairpins.

As for whether to ask for a bribe or not, it's just a joke. There's no outsider here. Lady Shi, please! Your Highness, would you like to join us? The Queen wanted to invite you to dinner just now, and you said you wanted to go back and eat with Lady Shi. Now Lady Shi is here, what about you?"

"Thank you for troubling my mother and Aunt Xiaoji."
