After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 241: If you can’t afford to offend someone, just hide away.

The emperor glanced sideways at Jinse, wondering if he had also thought of this, and nodded in agreement: "Well, if it's okay, just step back first!".

Jinse responded with a yes and hurriedly bowed his knees and exited the imperial study.

Just after coming out of the imperial study, Jinse saw Empress Li's mighty group from afar. She immediately lowered her head and silently quickened her pace.

Since being plotted by Queen Li, Jinse now doesn't want to confront Queen Li at all.

Therefore, if you can't afford to offend someone, just hide away.

Empress Li glanced at Jinse from a distance and couldn't help but narrow her eyes when she saw that Jinse was avoiding her.

Seeing that Jin Se's expression was wrong, Shui Xiu took a step forward and cautiously called out: "Your Majesty?"

Empress Li hummed indifferently, then flicked her sleeves and continued to move forward.

On this side, Empress Li entered the imperial study room, while on the other side, Jinse had already hurried back to the imperial tea room.

Seeing Jinse looking in a hurry, Cha Qing asked: "What's wrong, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you just go to the Imperial Study Room to serve tea?"

Jinse shook her head: "It's nothing. The Queen is here. She must have something important to talk to the Emperor about. It doesn't have anything to do with me, so she came back first!"

When Cha Qing heard this, she nodded clearly: "That's why I have to come back early."

With the Queen's temper, she didn't know what she would do if she saw Jin Se. Thinking about what happened before, Cha Qing felt uncomfortable.

Jinse smiled at Cha Qing, and then he was pulled by Cha Qing to drink tea and eat snacks together.

After two rounds of summer tea, the two of them heard the news that the empress had come to ask the emperor to choose a concubine for the fifth prince, and the emperor had already agreed.

After hearing the news, Cha Qing clicked her tongue twice: "The Queen is really anxious!".

Jinse thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not the queen's fault for being anxious. The fifth prince has reached the age to marry the prince's concubine, right? I remember that this is also the time for the eldest prince to marry his concubine!"

Cha Qing nodded: "That's true, but it doesn't rule out that the Queen is jealous because she saw Concubine Ye in the eldest prince's residence being pregnant."

Is that right?
Jinse couldn't refute this statement for a moment and could only remain silent.

On the contrary, Cha Qing still muttered, and carefully analyzed with Jin Se why she felt so.

Jin Se looked at Cha Qing helplessly. She was not actually curious about this, but seeing how excited Cha Qing was talking, she couldn't help but listen to her talk.

Soon, the news that Queen Li was going to choose a concubine for the fifth prince spread throughout the palace.

The fifth prince naturally got the news quickly.

After hearing this, the fifth prince looked calm, as if he didn't care about it.

Seeing the fifth prince like this, Zhuo Fang didn't dare to say anything casually, and besides, he couldn't say anything about this matter.

Empress Li wants to marry the fifth prince to a princess. The fifth prince himself is unhappy. What can Zhuo Fang, a slave, say?It's hard to say anything,

But if the fifth prince is unhappy, Zhuo Fang at most cares about it now, and no one else seems to care.

For example, Queen Li didn't care.

After returning from Emperor Zhao Palace, she immediately conveyed the news to Shui Xiu, asking her to spread the message outside the palace and summon the ladies of various ministers' families into the palace to pay their respects.

Because of Empress Li's big move, many people outside the palace understood that Empress Li wanted to choose a concubine for the fifth prince.

After all, the fifth prince is also old, so everyone in the court who has this idea is thinking about this matter.Therefore, as soon as Empress Li sent the edict, many wives of ministers responded immediately.

As a result, in the following period, Fengzhao Palace once again became a lively place, with the female relatives of the ministers coming in and out every day.

Cha Qing has completely become a gourmand. She goes everywhere to gossip every day, and then talks to Jin Se when she comes back.

Anyway, it’s either how tough the wife of this grown-up family is, or how pretentious the young lady’s personality is.

In short, there was no gossip that Chaqing couldn't find out.

After Jinse got off duty that day, she planned to go to the Imperial Garden for a meeting. The Twelve Prince had a lot of homework these days, so they didn't meet each other for several days.

So Jinse wanted to see if the twelfth prince was doing well these days.

But unexpectedly, when Jinse arrived at the imperial garden, he did not meet the twelfth prince, but instead saw the fifth prince standing in the corner pavilion.

At that time, the fifth prince was standing on the side of the corner pavilion, looking out, as if he was admiring the scenery or something. Jinse didn't recognize him at first. After all, from the angle she came from, she could only see five princes. The prince's back.

But Jinse could still recognize that the other party was not the twelfth prince, so after a moment of hesitation, she wanted to turn around and leave.

Anyway, no one in the pavilion saw her. She slipped away quietly, so there should be no problem.

However, before Jin Se could move away, the fifth prince standing in the pavilion suddenly said: "Since we happened to meet him, come in and talk to me!".

Jinse subconsciously looked over and saw that the fifth prince was still standing with his back to her. He didn't know who he was talking about...

Jinse thought, since the people in the pavilion didn't name anyone, she left quietly, so it should be fine, right?
"come in!"

I don’t know if the fifth prince guessed what Jinse was thinking, so he spoke again, and after saying that, he turned back and glanced at Jinse: "What, now it’s not okay to ask you to accompany me to have a conversation? You don’t care about the eldest brother. More casual?".

What I said seems a bit strange.

Jinse didn't speak in silence. It was the fifth prince's words that made her feel uncomfortable, so she didn't want to pay attention to them.

Seeing that Jinse remained silent, the fifth prince frowned, looked at Jinse and said, "Why, do you want me to invite you here in person?".

Jinse hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the corner pavilion.

After entering, Jinse bowed to the fifth prince, and then asked with a calm expression: "I wonder what the fifth prince wants to say when he comes in with his slave?".

The look on the fifth prince's face was much colder than that of Jinse.

He asked calmly: "Why, I don't have anything to say, so can't I ask you to come in and accompany me?".

After asking, the fifth prince did not wait for Jinse to answer, and then calmly answered: "In the past, did you have the same attitude towards the eldest brother?".

Jinse stopped talking.

But he was thinking in his heart that the fifth prince and the eldest prince were different.

The eldest prince might have been annoying before, but Jinse felt that the current eldest prince, apart from being a straight-tempered and occasionally arrogant person, was actually quite easy to get along with.

But the fifth prince is different.

The fifth prince is different from the eldest prince. The fifth prince is the kind of person who seems to be easy to get along with on the surface, but is actually much more elusive than the eldest prince.

Jinse didn't like dealing with such people.
