Upon hearing the sound, Huangfu Lingyao quickly closed the book and stuffed it under the bed through a crack at the headboard.
His expression changed in an instant.
When Qu Yingrong came in, she saw a pouting, puffed-up, and indignant Second Prince.
She sighed and said as she walked over, “1 heard that you refused to eat. Are you going on a hunger strike with your Imperial Father?”
Huangfu Lingyao glared at her and replied, “When Father was hitting me, you didn’t speak up for me. Now 1 don’t want to talk to you!”
Box Novel.comHis pitiful appearance made him seem even more aggrieved.
Qu Yingrong was helpless, but at the same time, she was calm.
She was already used to his behavior. Sitting down by the bed, she signaled a senior palace maid to bring some soup and said, “If you really insist on not eating, that’s fine.”
Huangfu Lingyao raised his head and his eyes lit up. “Can I leave the palace to find Wife?”
Qu Yingrong gave him a cool glance and said, “If you won’t eat a proper meal, at least have some noodles, drink soup, and gnaw on some meat…”
Seeing his delicate face droop again, she continued, “Don’t you want to recover quickly and meet Miss Liu? If she finds out you’re not eating, she’ll be worried.” Listening to the queen’s cajoling tone, Huangfu Lingyao pouted and turned his head away, still behaving stubbornly.
Hearing the Empress’s coaxing tone, Huangfu Lingyao pouted and turned his head away, still looking angry.
He thought to himself, ‘Wife also coaxed me like this, why is the difference so great? My wife is so gentle and sweet, and this Empress is like… what did Wife call her? A grandmother wolf!”
Of course, Qu Yingrong had no idea about his inner monologue and patiently persuaded him again, “Really won’t eat?”
“Let me leave the palace, and then I’ll eat!” Huangfu Lingyao replied with frustration.
Qu Yingrong could not help but laugh at his reaction and asked, “So, you like Eldest Miss Liu that much?”
Huangfu Lingyao looked absolutely sure of himself, “Wife is so wonderful! Anyone who doesn’t like her must be insane!”
Qu Yingrong was speechless.
She shook her head. “People say you’re a fool, but you’re very good at making thing difficult! If you keep being stubborn, you’ll only get into more trouble. 1 brought you something to eat. As your stepmother, I can’t ignore your well-being. But if you really refuse to eat, remember that your father, the emperor, will punish you with more days of confinement. So, think about it, which option is better?”
Silly Second Prince’s stubbornness rose. “Then just kill me! My butt hurts!”
As he spoke, he wanted to throw a tantrum and cry.
After a moment of silence, Qu Yingrong said, “Then, with those injuries, you’ll leave the palace to see Eldest Miss Liu. Won’t she worry about you? When she came to the palace today, she specifically inquired about you. Take care of yourself, don’t make her worry!”
The young prince had his own logic, “If she doesn’t see me, she’ll be even more worried! But if she sees me injured, she’ll definitely feel sorry for me, and then she’ll comfort me!”
He silently added in his heart, ‘1 can also ask for hugs and kisses!’
Qu Yingrong had a helpless expression on her face as she said, “Forget it, forget it. You should eat well today and leave the palace tomorrow. I’ll talk to your father. Look at you!”
“Really?”
Huangfu Lingyao was really happy and immediately jumped up from the bed.
However, after being hit, his butt hurt so much that he grimaced.
Qu Yingrong chuckled and said, “That’s what you get. Now, eat up!”
Huangfu Lingyao was finally happy.
He was willing to eat, and the Empress left.
After the Empress’s phoenix carriage was far away, Li Xin appeared and whispered to Huangfu Lingyao, who was lying on the bed and eating intermittently, “Master, the Empress is truly cunning. She’s been playing a role for so many years.”
Huangfu Lingyao glanced at him lazily and said, “I guessed she’s going to the Eastern Palace after leaving here..”
