Chapter 70 CFV Ch.70 Wrongdoings (1)

The new Rubik’s cube had a hint of soft fragrance from the pine wood and paint.

Qin Jiu held the cube and played for a while, each turning of the cube was smooth. In comparison with the modern world, the cube highly resembled theirs, and it was crafted rather exquisitely, with vibrant colors painted on it, attracting the others’ attention.

After seeing the Rubik’s cube, Gu Zhen liked it very much. Qin Jiu only taught him once, and the little fella could already play with it on his own.

“Click, Click, Click....”

The rotating sound of the magic cube echoed in the air.

Gu Zhen seemed to have something on his mind. After playing with the cube for a while, he could not help but rant towards Qin Jiu softly:

“Cousin. Let me tell you a secret. Yesterday, mama was scolded by the dowager during the morning greeting.”

“The dowager told the empress that she should mind her own business.”

“She even reminded her that the imperial noble consort’s last name was “Liu”!”

“Cousin, what does it mean to mind your own business?” Gu Zhen looked up to Qin Jiu, his innocent face looked puzzled, “Did my mother do something wrong?”

Hence, he whispered and asked Qin Jiu.

Now that Qin Jiu told him that the empress was right, and everything was fine!

Gu Zhen’s gaze was bright and full of trust, he said: “Actually, the Empress Dowager doesn’t like me at all.”

He was only four, but every time he spoke about this, he couldn’t cover the sadness in his eyes.

“The empress loves Zhen, the emperor likes Zhen, and I also like Zhen.” Qin Jiu said in a happy tone, “Those who don’t like Zhen, we shouldn’t force them to.”

“Ok!” Gu Jin nodded his head strongly again, the corners of his lips showed a shallow dimple.

That’s right, he still has the empress, emperor and cousin Jiu!

Gu Jin’s vision fell on the Rubik’s cube that was held in Qin Jiu’s hand, furrowed his brows, he pointed at the cube and said:” This is wrong, you should turn it the other way round!”

“No! It should be on the right side.” Qin Jiu persisted.

“Cousin, if you don’t believe me, you will regret your decision!”

“......”

They talked and laughed, and no one noticed that Empress Wei was standing outside the door quietly for quite a moment.

Empress Wei didn’t go in, she turned around and left.
