The Eldest Prince can hear the meaning of the Seventh Prince’s words, so of course, it was impossible for Lin Chujiu not to hear it.
Ordinary people may think that this was just a child’s trust in the elders. But Lin Chujiu knew that the Seventh Prince was not an ordinary child, and his words were not casual.
Lin Chujiu didn’t answer the question immediately, but stared at the Seventh Prince with a smile for a long time, until the Seventh Prince shriveled his mouth and said with an aggrieved face, “Imperial Aunt, did I say something wrong?” Then she laughed and joked: “The Seventh Prince is so cute, no wonder the Empress would not let you go out. If I had such a lovely child, I would also not rest assured if he goes out.”
“Eh, does Imperial Aunt have a baby?” Lin Chujiu said. The Seventh Prince immediately showed a bright smile and said with surprise: “Imperial Aunt looks good, Imperial Uncle looks better. Imperial Aunt’s baby will definitely be very beautiful. Imperial Aunt, Imperial Aunt, when did you have a baby? Can I hug the baby after he was born?”
The Seventh Prince looked at Lin Chujiu expectantly. His eyes were bright as if Lin Chujiu would give birth in the next second.
Unfortunately, Lin Chujiu didn’t say that she had a baby, but said with a feigned sadness: “Little Seven means, your Imperial Aunt is not as good-looking as your Imperial Uncle?”
“Ah, Imperial Aunt, I don’t mean that, I just, just…” The Seventh Prince lowered his head, looking embarrassed.
This expression was really like an ordinary and honest child. Because as long as the children were a bit smarter, they will be eager to deny it, while honest children will not insist on their judgment.
However, Lin Chujiu felt even more scared!
The Seventh Prince himself was not an ordinary child. If he immediately denied it and praised her, she will only think that the Seventh Prince was smarter than the other children.
However, Lin Chujiu could not take the Seventh Prince as a slightly smarter child after his performance.
This was a little fox with a deep mind. Even she was not as good as him.
However, the Seventh Prince can act, and she was not bad. Lin Chujiu immediately exaggerated and said: “This Imperial Aunt is so sad. In Little Seven’s eyes, his Imperial Uncle is the most beautiful person.”
“Imperial, Imperial Aunt, no, I didn’t mean that.” The Seventh Prince stood in the same place as if frightened. He was at a loss. After a long time, he stammered: “Imperial Uncle is beautiful, but Imperial Aunt is also beautiful, both of you are beautiful.”
“Well, I’m not as good as your Imperial Uncle. Forget it, Little Seven’s heart is towards your Imperial Uncle, after all, it’s useless for me to treat you well.” Lin Chujiu pretended to be resentful and showed an exaggerated acting skills as a ‘bad’ elder who plays tricks on children.
Of course, adults will not be fooled, but ignorant children will!
The Seventh Prince had a worried look on his face as he trotted to Lin Chujiu’s side, pulled her sleeve, and said pitifully: “Imperial Aunt, I am wrong, you… don’t be angry, I said you look better than Imperial Uncle.”
“Little Seven is so cute, This Imperial Aunt is so happy.” Since she wants to play, she must play from the beginning until the end. Lin Chujiu stretched her hand and embraced the Seventh Prince to sit by her side while laughing happily.
“Ah… Imperial Aunt, you are not angry?” The Seventh Prince finally seemed to understand that Lin Chujiu was teasing him. His face turned red, leaned on Lin Chujiu’s… stomach and muttered: “Imperial Aunt is too bad, bullying me. When Imperial Uncle comes back, I will tell Imperial Uncle to know and let Imperial Uncle punish you.”
“Okay, okay, when your Imperial Uncle comes back, we’ll file a complaint.” Lin Chujiu smiled softly, with a good-tempered look on her face, but she was very bored in her heart.
She was not used to being so close to the Seventh Prince. She found it boring.
“Then Imperial Aunt, when will Imperial Uncle come back?” The Seventh Prince raised his with a naive look on his face, making people defenseless.
If Lin Chujiu doesn’t have a brain, or if she really knows Xiao Tianyao’s whereabouts, she may be tricked by the Seventh Prince. But Lin Chujiu was smart, and she doesn’t know Xiao Tianyao’s whereabouts. She really couldn’t answer this question.
However, she couldn’t let the Seventh Prince know about this.
Lin Chujiu pretended and said in a way that coaxed the children: “Your Imperial Uncle is helping Imperial Aunt teach the bad guys. He will come back in 2 days. Don’t worry, Little Seven, you can live here at ease. If you are not used to life in the army, you can go back to the capital first. When your Imperial Uncle comes, I will send someone to inform you.”
Since the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince were here to welcome Xiao Tianyao back to the city, they were determined to wait for Xiao Tianyao back in the army. Instead of waiting for them to speak, it was better to invite them.
“Imperial Aunt, can I really stay here?” The Seventh Prince’s eyes lit up and jumped out of Lin Chujiu’s embrace with a look of surprise. However, in a blink of an eye, he wilted again. Then said weakly: “But Imperial father said that a military camp is an important place. I can’t live here, a child. My eldest brother and I will wait for Imperial Uncle at the post station.”
“You are not a child. You are a prince. There is no place where you can’t live.” Lin Chujiu said with a smile. She looked at him as if she didn’t see his intention, and didn’t take it seriously when the Seventh Prince deliberately bumped into her just now.
Yes, when the Seventh Prince just jumped away, his elbow “accidentally” bumped her stomach. This bump was definitely not ordinary and simple bumping. The Seventh Prince used this method to judge whether she was pregnant or not.
If she was really pregnant, she will definitely be nervous. But because she acted normal, the Seventh Prince can conclude that she was not pregnant.
“Really? Is that true Imperial Aunt? Can I really live in the barracks and wait for Imperial Uncle to come back?” The Seventh Prince seemed to find it unbelievable and asked several times.
Lin Chujiu said with a good temper: “You are a prince, and no one dares to stop you.” Still, she didn’t say that she invited him. But only said that with the identity of the Seventh Prince, he can live anywhere he wants.
“Imperial Aunt, you……” The Seventh Prince looked happy, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Eldest Prince: “Imperial Aunt, this is not good. You are indulging him too much.” him.”
“The seventh prince is a prince, so he can live wherever he wants, and I will indulge him wherever he needs to be.” If she doesn’t, the Seventh Prince and the Eldest Prince will not be reconciled. Rather than being calculated by the two of them, it’s better to take the initiative and keep them under her nose.
“Elder brother, Imperial Aunt agreed, you’re not allowed to say no.” The Seventh Prince said to the Eldest Prince with a proud and charming face, and turned to embrace Lin Chujiu’s arm with a full of a smile: “Imperial Aunt, you are the best! I like Imperial Aunt the most.”
The Seventh Prince’s joy was three percent fake, but seven percent genuine.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be intimidated by the Jinwuwei Army before, it was a bit humiliating to be shocked by the Jinwuwei Army. However, it was a great pleasure to live in the camp of the Jinwuwei Army smoothly.
After all, if Lin Chujiu refuses, it was useless even if he was a prince.
“Just now you said that Imperial Aunt is bullying you, but now you’re saying that you like me. Which one of them is true?” Lin Chujiu smiled and knocked on the head of the Seventh Prince. The action was very light, not a lesson but a sign of intimacy.
The Seventh Prince also cooperated. He exaggerated his pain, which seemed to be a tacit understanding.
The Eldest Prince looked at the aunt and nephew who were more harmonious and closer than ordinary people and secretly admired them.
No need to mention the imperial family, even in an ordinary family, the aunt and nephew will not be so close. These two people, neither them was simple. If he can, he doesn’t want to offend any of them, but… …

Usually those fake affectionate face saving conversations are disgusting, but somehow it’s especially revolting when a child does it :’)
