The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Qi Siliao said, "How can a person give up greed overnight?"

A moment before leaving, Qi Siliao asked her to stay in the room and told her to act according to the circumstances.

After this separation, if I want to know something, I can only rely on my own ears.

When Hu Luanfei was in a state of confusion, someone knocked gently on the door.

A maid's voice came from outside, asking, "Princess, are you up yet?"

It seemed to be Chanyu, the imperial lady-in-waiting who had watched the emperor grow up since he was a child.

Hu Luanfei came back to his senses, quickly put on two more pieces of clothing, and asked in a very gentle tone: "Did the prince send you to call me?"

Chanyu replied, "I heard that the queen was ill, and the emperor sent me here to see her."

A weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken - he has no good intentions.

"I have just caught a cold and cannot stand the wind. I hope my aunt can tell the emperor..."

Before she could finish, Chanyu pushed the door open and walked in, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am only following your orders."

Hu Luan Fei covered her face with her embroidered handkerchief and coughed a few times, "It's okay. I'm afraid it would be my fault if the disease spread to you."

"What are you saying, Your Majesty? I was born to serve others and I am not worthy of your sympathy." Chanyu stood a few steps away from the bed, looking at her.

Hu Luan got up from the bed and suddenly felt dizzy. When he stood up, his legs felt weak and he leaned on the square table beside the bed to stabilize himself.

She selected a turquoise robe from the rack to go with her pink dress; it was neither too plain nor too gaudy.

Chanyu took the initiative to come over and help her dress up.

The skin that has been moisturized by the space spring water for many years is white and flawless. Even without makeup, it is a naturally good complexion.

The only thing that surprised people was the marks left on her neck from lovemaking.

Now the collar was high enough to cover it a little, and when someone lifted her hair, the bite mark was particularly conspicuous.

Hu Luanfei tried to cover it up by applying some powder that was close to her skin color, but it didn't work very well and it was still visible when looking closely.

"Your Highness is really reckless." Chanyu's words had a hidden meaning, and her fingertips brushed across the bite marks on the neck intentionally or unintentionally.

Hu Luanfei stood up from the mirror and chuckled, "Auntie is an experienced person, so she will definitely think that reckless men are more compassionate to women."

As she spoke, she carefully looked at her neckline in the mirror again, making sure that there was no trace of it. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, "It's a private matter between women, I hope my aunt can keep it a secret for me."

Chanyu forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I am not a gossipy person."

Hu Luanfei blushed slightly, and after a long silence, he said solemnly, "I also believe in my aunt's character. Of course, the prince and I are of the same mind, and we will not doubt that my aunt would leak the news to the emperor."

Chanyu nodded gently and kept silent.

"Now that my aunt has seen me, it's time to go back and report."

Chanyu never thought that she would be asked to leave. She looked slightly surprised and said, "In fact, the emperor sent me here because he has something to tell you."

Hu Luanfei said gently: "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Chanyu hesitated for a moment, then took out an envelope from her sleeve. The envelope smelled faintly of ambergris, and Hu Luanfei knew who wrote it as soon as he smelled it.

Chanyu finally spoke: "The emperor asked me to bring this to you, you will know it when you see it."

Hu Luanfei glanced at the envelope calmly and did not take it. "Aunt, the emperor is confused. Are you confused too? Do you know how much impact the secret correspondence between uncle and his sister-in-law will have on the reputation of the prince?"

The aunt's words gradually became lower and she was quite embarrassed: "I know that this is against the palace rules, but the emperor's affection..."

Hu Luanfei's voice suddenly became cold: "I know I can't bear it!"

Seeing the tangled look on Chanyu's face, she relaxed her expression and spoke softly, "Aunt, don't you understand that the emperor is not the person I want in my heart? Now only the prince is my support."

Chanyu nodded slightly: "The emperor also knows the love between the queen and the prince, but he also wants you to understand his feelings. I have watched the emperor grow up, and I really can't bear to see him suffer from lovesickness."

She paused, then stuffed the envelope into Hu Luanfei's hand and said, "You can deal with this letter yourself."

Hu Luanfei put the letter on the table and said indifferently: "Please tell the emperor to manage his country well and not worry about people who should not be worried about."

Chanyu said: "I will pass on your words. But according to his personality, he may not do what you want."

Hu Luanfei said nothing, but picked up a hairpin from the dressing table and put it in her hair.

Chanyu was slightly stunned when she saw it, "Is this hairpin given by the prince's mother?"

"That's right. It means having many children and good fortune." She picked out a pure gold hairpin from the jewelry box and stuffed it into Chanyu's hand. "Aunt, just pass on the message. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it."

Chanyu, who often went in and out of the storeroom to collect or register for the emperor, looked at the hairpin in her hand, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly put it back into the jewelry box, "I dare not covet the things that the emperor has rewarded you with."

"Take it. Maintaining a relationship with the Emperor is good for both him and me. Now my status is different from his, and it is no longer the same as before."

After that, he turned around and took out a black robe to show her, and said softly: "I made a new robe for the prince in the past few days. Aunt, please help me take a look and see if it suits him."

Chanyu smiled bitterly: "Of course, everything your majesty makes is good."

"In that case, when the prince comes back, let him try it."

Chanyu wanted to say something else, but Hu Luanfei blocked her mouth and hurriedly sent her away. "It is bitterly cold in Menghu Mountain, and life is hard. It is difficult to find a doctor here. Aunt and the emperor should be careful not to catch a cold."

Chanyu responded, walked to the door, looked back with loss in her eyes, and looked at Hu Luanfei quietly.

Hu Luanfei put away his robe and remained silent for a long time.

"My lady, the Emperor has also ordered this servant to take you to the front hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Luanfei started coughing violently, perhaps because the door was open.

Chanyu ordered someone to bring in a few braziers and pour charcoal into the fire basket. The temperature in the room rose instantly. Fearing that she would feel suffocated, Chanyu carefully opened a window to let in some air.

"I am ill and cannot face the emperor. Aunt, please report to the emperor on my behalf."

Chanyu also knew that Hu Luanfei was making excuses to avoid suspicion, so she shook her head, closed the door and left.

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Hu Luanfei took off his disguise and fell onto the stool as if he was exhausted.

The fire was burning brightly at this moment, and she was just about to burn the heavy letter.

Suddenly I saw a small line of words on the back of the envelope. I looked at it carefully and couldn't bear it. I opened it and saw only a few short lines of poetry: "There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her when I see her. I miss her like crazy when I don't see her for a day."

Bah, belated affection is as hard to accept as shit.

Hu Luanfei threw the letter into the fire with disgust, and with a "whoosh", the flames burned out.

She poured a cup of tea and drank it, feeling upset. The scene of Qi Sili luring the original owner into a trap by offering her the position of imperial concubine emerged clearly in her mind. According to the palace rules, after serving the emperor in bed, the maids would start from the lowest position and then move up step by step.

At that time, the original owner had received Qi Sili's promise before she had even slept with the emperor, so she must have been in a very good mood. She served tea to the emperor every day and served him wholeheartedly.
