Deyin didn't know what Concubine Liang was going to do, but what was certain was that Concubine Liang would do anything to help his son get that position.

Deyin was very smart and different from ordinary women. If he continued to talk, he might drag her into this dangerous situation. Yinzhen didn't want Deyin to think too much, so he didn't say anything. Deyin also saw what he was thinking and didn't mention it again. The two of them tacitly avoided the topic.

"Today, the emperor has summoned me to the palace, so I may not be able to stay with you for too long." Yinzhen sounded apologetic, but Deyin didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she knew that as a prince in that era, he had no choice but to do what he wanted. Who would dare to disobey the emperor's order?

Today Kangxi summoned Yinzhen not for the affairs of the court, but for Yinzhen's marriage. The decree for the marriage had been issued for some time, and the auspicious date that was previously selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also finalized by Kangxi. Yinzhen probably still didn't know about this happy event, and Kangxi took the opportunity today to tell him about it. The time was also chosen very well, just before the end of the year, so the day was getting closer and closer.

There are always people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who can tell the harem about the news. As long as the money is in place, it is not easy to get the news. In order to win favor, the women in the harem will let their subordinates curry favor with the eunuchs. Whether this will succeed depends on the sincerity of the ladies in each palace. The people in the harem don't care about feelings, they only recognize gold and silver jewelry, and whoever gives more will naturally be the one to serve.

Concubine Liang had already established this relationship and knew about it long before letting Juelan enter the palace, otherwise she would not have been in a hurry to let Juelan enter the palace to start her next plan. Now that Yinzhen has the Nianhulu family as his backer, if she, as his mother, can't help in this matter, she doesn't know what else she can do.

Juelan has been accompanying Concubine Liang in Zhongcui Palace to relieve her fatigue these days. The Eighth Prince has come several times these days. Concubine Liang has called Juelan to serve her with ulterior motives these times, and she would let the two of them chat from time to time. Juelan has been in love with the Eighth Prince Yinsi for many years. She had been clamoring to meet him before, but now that she has really met him, she is still too shy to look him in the eye or talk to him. It is thanks to Concubine Liang's help that the atmosphere is not so awkward.

Yinsi had an impression of Juelan, but today she was different from how she treated Deyin that day, as if she had become a different person. He didn't know if she was pretending to be so in front of his mother. He hadn't heard of Juelan entering the palace before he came today. He didn't pay much attention to people and things that he wasn't interested in, and he didn't ask Concubine Liang much about what he saw today. He seemed calm and indifferent. Yinsi also knew what his mother was thinking, but he didn't want to expose it too early. Although the forces in the court had changed sides one after another, he was born in the Aisin-Gioro family and he didn't have to rely on women.

"Look at what's wrong with you today?" As soon as Yinsi left, Concubine Liang's face looked bad. She took out all her anger on Juelan, blaming her for her panic just now.

Not to mention that she was not able to speak fluently when she saw Yinsi, even when Concubine Liang personally helped her, she could not seize the opportunity. This would make anyone uncomfortable. Concubine Liang thought this was a useful chess piece, but she didn't expect it to be far from what she wanted. She just kept a good face. This brain is really useless. She missed the opportunity to come to her door. No wonder these brothers are fascinated by her sister.

Juelan had not yet recovered from what had just happened. When she saw Concubine Liang was angry, she immediately stood up from her chair, knelt down quickly, lowered her head and said nothing.

"I have always given opportunities to those who can seize them. Whether they can seize them depends on their own luck." Concubine Liang did not say much, but just left this sentence and went back to her bedroom to rest, leaving Juelan alone kneeling in the side hall. Juelan could not help it, and tears fell down her hair. Today, Concubine Liang did not treat her like she did in the past few days, and she was really a little scared. If Concubine Liang was disappointed in her, her road to turning over would probably be ruined by her own hands, and she would suffer more cold eyes in the Taifu Mansion, and she was unwilling to accept it.

She didn't know what happened today. As soon as she saw the Eighth Prince, she seemed to be out of control. She didn't look like the graceful and elegant lady of an official family at all. She regretted it every time she thought about it.

Juelan stayed alone in Zhongcui Palace, thinking back on today's events and making a secret decision in her heart. In the Taifu Mansion, Yinzhen told Deyin about the wedding date, and they both couldn't help laughing out loud.

Deyin calculated the days and estimated that there was still a month left. The day was not far away and everything had to be prepared well, as there were many people waiting to watch the big day.
