The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

When Hu Cuiwei said this, she laughed.

But before she finished laughing, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped laughing, "I feel really uncomfortable watching the Third Prince and Chuan'er become estranged. It always reminds me of many things in the past."

"You don't have to worry about this." Xuanyuan Li promised solemnly: "No one can shake Chuan'er's position."

"How can I know whether what Your Majesty said is true?" Hu Cuiwei said, walking to the octagonal candlestick and stirring the incense burner. Seeing Xuanyuan Li didn't say anything, she glanced at his face and hurriedly changed the subject, "Recently, the Queen Mother gave me an expensive incense, but I was reluctant to use it, so I borrowed it to offer to Your Majesty."

Hu Cuiwei poured out the flower and fruit fragrance from the incense burner, then walked to the window and opened all the windows. The breeze penetrated the entire Yangxin Palace and dispersed all the fragrance. When Hu Cuiwei saw that it was almost done, she poured the spices given by the empress dowager into the incense burner and lit them.

After a while, a strange smell instantly filled every corner of the Yangxin Palace.

Xuanyuan Li frowned, suddenly feeling something was wrong, and quickly picked up the bright jade cup and poured it into the incense burner. The incense burner that had just been lit went out with a "sizzle".

Hu Cuiwei was startled, then she knelt down hurriedly after realizing what was happening, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was I who overstepped the bounds."

Xuanyuan Li was slightly annoyed, "You said this incense was given by the Queen Mother?"

Hu Cuiwei said anxiously: "I dare not lie."

"Don't order it again in the future." Xuanyuan Li helped her up, "Especially when Luan Fei and the baby are here, don't order it anymore."

Hu Cuiwei stared with her big round eyes and asked: "Why, I like Luan Fei very much..."

Xuanyuan Li said nothing, but ordered his men to confiscate the spices given by the Queen Mother and replace them with fresh and light floral and fruity scents.

Just then, a maid from the Yanxi Palace came to invite him. Xuanyuan Li looked down and saw Hu Cuiwei's different look. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this for the sake of the two children."

Hu Cuiwei felt disgusted, but she had no choice but to put on a show, smiling and rubbing the big hand covering her face, "I can return to your majesty's side, enjoy wealth and glory, have children, daughters and a husband, how can I feel wronged? Your majesty is worrying too much, Concubine Jin is here to invite your majesty over, don't make her wait anxiously."

At this moment, Hu Cuiwei was as considerate as she was back then. Even though she was over forty, she was still much more beautiful than the vulgar beauties in the palace. She was pure and elegant, as if she would never age. Her every frown and smile was full of radiance, making it hard not to be moved by her.

"Forget it. You know I have been thinking about you all these years."

She had already taken the initiative, so why would he go to someone else's palace?

Hu Cuiwei took advantage of the victory and stayed in the Yangxin Palace that night. When everyone in the harem heard the news, they had different opinions.

The next morning, someone stood at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, waiting to meet the legendary Concubine Chen.

Concubine Jin arrived early in the morning and stood at the front, followed by Concubine Xian, and then Concubine Wan.

Xiao Lan Zi went in to pass the message. Xuanyuan Li just stood up, but before he could get out of bed, Hu Cuiwei beside the bed turned over, and the thin quilt slipped off, revealing a charming and dangerous look.

Xuanyuan Li almost couldn't control himself, but fortunately the sound of Xiaolanzi interrupted his evil thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the ladies from the various palaces request to see you."

Xuanyuan Li frowned, "What time is it?"

"It's early morning."

Xuanyuan Li knew that he had missed the morning court long ago. He looked back at Hu Cuiwei who was still sleeping and smiled with satisfaction. He was stunned. He looked at the sky outside and then at the emperor's expression, and felt it was incredible.

"It doesn't matter when the Concubine Chen gets up, as long as she doesn't disturb her sleep."

Xiao Lanzi said respectfully, "I obey your order."

Xuanyuan Li dressed neatly and washed up before walking out of the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. The concubines in various palaces denounced Hu Cuiwei one after another, with Concubine Jin bearing the brunt the most.

"Your Majesty was tired yesterday, and even the morning court was late." As she spoke, Concubine Jin looked back from time to time, "Why can't I see the Concubine Chen?"

Xuanyuan Li glanced at Concubine Jin and said, "She is still sleeping."

"This is against the rules." Jin Guipin felt dissatisfied. "As a concubine, it is most important for me to serve His Majesty and wake up early. How can the Empress Chen wake up later than His Majesty? If this gets out, not only will His Majesty lose face, but the Empress Chen will also be criticized."

"That's enough. All of us below me are subordinates. Who dares to make irresponsible comments? All of you go back."

Xuanyuan Li strode out of the Yangxin Palace, got on the sedan chair that he had been waiting for a long time and left in a hurry.

Concubine Jin lost face in front of everyone and slapped Xiao Lanzi on the face for no apparent reason, "You coward, you can't even serve His Majesty properly, what's the point of keeping you."

This scene happened to be seen by Hu Cuiwei who came out. After a moment, she protected the small basket behind her and said, "If Concubine Jin has any grievances, just vent them on me. What's the point of making things difficult for a eunuch?"

As soon as she appeared, Concubine Jin was stunned. Looking at the face in front of her that was exactly the same as Concubine Hu's back then, she took two steps back in disbelief, "You, you are..."

Concubine Jin's voice was trembling. Hu Cuiwei glanced at her calmly. Before she could say anything, one of the concubines stood up and asked in surprise, "Hu Jieyu?"

It was Concubine Wan, who was inseparable from Concubine Hu. Hu Cuiwei was able to escape from the palace successfully, thanks in large part to Concubine Wan.

When old friends meet, Hu Cui nodded slightly, "Sister Wanpin, long time no see."

The deliberate reminiscing immediately caused everyone present to talk about it.

"Didn't Concubine Hu fall into the carp pond and drown?"

"I'm not an old man in the palace, how would I know the story?"

"..."

Concubine Jin was so frightened that she had a miscarriage and beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead.

Hu Cuiwei took the opportunity to ask the eunuchs to arrange sedan chairs to transport the people back to the Yanx Palace, and also called a group of eunuchs to go with them.

In the side hall of the Yanx Palace, all the concubines including Hu Cuiwei were waiting.

The Queen Mother also heard the news and hurried into the gate of Yanx Palace.

The concubines saluted, and the empress dowager swept a sharp look at Hu Cuiwei, accusing her of the crime without any reason, "Empress Chen, you are so bold that you dare to murder the heir to the throne."

It was the first time that the concubines saw the Queen Mother get angry, and their faces turned pale. At this time, Wanpin stood up to explain: "Your Highness, you misunderstood the Queen Mother. It was Concubine Jin who suddenly had a miscarriage. It has nothing to do with the Queen Mother..."

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Wan coldly, and she was so scared that she immediately knelt down.

Hu Cuiwei straightened her back and stood up to speak: "Empress Dowager, please listen to me."

"Did you light the spices I gave you?"

"Yes. It's such a wonderful thing. I have invited Your Majesty to enjoy it with me."

The Queen Mother's expression changed in shock, but she quickly returned to her usual harsh expression, "That is a gift from me to you alone. You will use it all by yourself from now on."
