Officials from the Honglu Temple and the Qintianjian left the Zhaozheng Hall in groups of two or three.

Hong means sound; Lu means to spread. Honglu means to spread sound. Most people think that Honglu Temple is only in charge of diplomatic affairs. In fact, the affairs of court ceremonies are also under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple. When the emperor gets married, it is the officials of Honglu Temple who offer betrothal gifts to the emperor.

Qin Zhi was just about to ask someone to go to Luanyi Palace to explain the matter of the new concubine entering the palace to Concubine Yi, who was in charge of the phoenix seal and the harem, when he heard a palace servant coming to report.

"Your Majesty, Qingzhang from Concubine Rou's side and Banxia from Concubine Ying's side are outside asking for an audience."

Qin Zhi: "Let them in."

Qin Zhi tapped the imperial desk with his finger. He could tell with his fingernail why Concubine Rou and Concubine Ying sent them here. It was nothing more than to invite him to the palace for a meal, and then ask about the arrangements for the concubines, and most importantly, the Empress.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your servant Qing Zhang respectfully wishes His Majesty good health and longevity."

"Your servant Banxia respectfully wishes His Majesty good health and longevity."

"I'm fine. What's the matter?" Qin Zhi was a little impatient.

"Empress Roupin said that the prince in her belly has started to move, and she would like to invite you to Lanlin Palace to take a look."

"Empress Ying asked me to invite you to have lunch at Yuntai Palace."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Qing Zhang and Ban Xia looked at each other, and there seemed to be fire in their eyes.

Qin Zhi ignored the two people's quarrel and said, "I have already promised Concubine Yi that I will go to Luanyi Palace for lunch. Later, I will visit your queen when I have time."

"Everyone go back."

Qing Zhang's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Qin Zhi ordered them to leave, so the two had to leave Zhaozheng Hall together.

"Zhang Deli, prepare your carriage and go to Concubine Yi's palace."

"Go to Luanyi Palace."

Qin Zhi and Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue had finished their lunch and were drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, are you here for the issue of palace power?" Meng Wuyue asked bluntly.

"It will take at least half a year before the Queen moves into the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Observatory has not even started counting the days yet. How can it be that fast? During this time, you have been busy with the affairs of the palace. For so many years, you have been diligently managing the six palaces for me. Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Zhi said.

Meng Wu Yue lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.

Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows: "But do you feel unhappy?"

Meng Wuyue raised her eyes and glared at Qin Zhi: "How dare I."

Qin Zhi leaned close to Meng Wuyue's ear and said in a low voice with a smile in it: "Don't dare? So you have it?"

"Your Majesty has married a wife and will have a legitimate son in the future. Dayong will have a successor. I am so happy that I can't express it in words." Meng Wuyue said in a muffled voice.

"But when I think about the fact that there is only one princess, Ronglu, in the palace and there are no children to play with her, I feel that Ronglu is a little lonely."

Meng Wuyue buried his head in Qin Zhi's arms, his expression unrecognizable.

After Qin Zhi hugged her quietly for a while, he smiled and said, "I don't think Ronglu is lonely."

Meng Wuyue raised his head and asked, "I heard that His Majesty has asked the Ministry of Eunuchs to announce the decree for the new concubines. I wonder what the positions of the sisters are? Has His Majesty arranged the palaces for the new concubines?"

Qin Zhi: "I have conferred the title of Beauty on your sister Meng Xinghe, and the title of Honored Lady on Lü Xiyin. As for the rest, Zhang Deli, show the list to Concubine Yi."

Zhang Deli handed the list of concubines with ranks drawn up by Qin Zhi to Concubine Yi with both hands.

"I haven't decided on a palace yet. I plan to arrange for Lü Xiyin to live in Chongde Palace, which is closer to the Queen Mother's Palace. As for the others, I'll leave it to you to decide."

Meng Wuyue: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

"Okay, lunch is over, you can take a rest. I still have to go back to review the memorials."

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

--------------------

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange the palace for the new concubine to live in?" Weixia asked.

"Your Majesty said to arrange for Concubine Lu to be placed in Chongde Hall, so let's arrange for her to be placed in Chongde Hall."

Qinghe stood aside with his eyes downcast as if he was dozing off, not saying a word.

“There are not many beauties entering the palace this time, only five. Xinghe will be placed in the Suzaku Palace next to the Luanyi Palace in this palace.

As for the others, although these newcomers are not of high rank, they are the first batch of beauties selected by His Majesty. I have chosen the Suzaku Palace for Xinghe, and I cannot be too disrespectful to others, so I will choose the Yutang Palace, Yilan Palace, and Yueshi Palace."

--------------------

After leaving Luanyi Palace, Qin Zhi walked in front, with the dragon chariot following behind him.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to Zhaozheng Palace?"

Zhang Deli asked.

"No, go to Lanlin Palace and visit Concubine Rou."

As I walked into the Lanlin Palace, I saw Concubine Rou Liu Yiren, wearing a purple dress with a wide skirt and gold thread and Yao Huang pattern, flying in front of me like a butterfly.

"My queen, go slower. You have a little prince in your belly! Go slower."

Qing Zhang opened his arms slightly, remained highly alert, and followed Liu Yiren quickly, keeping a distance so as not to step on her clothes, ready to protect her at any time.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Liu Yiren stood in front of Qin Zhi.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best." She bowed, her voice a little breathless, and she looked in poor physical condition.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best of health."

Qing Zhang and the other palace people knelt behind Liu Yiren.

"Zhen An, come in." Qin Zhi said.

Liu Yiren took Qin Zhi's hand and walked into the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, the prince can move. Your Majesty, come and touch him." Qin Zhi sat on the couch. Concubine Rou Liu Yiren leaned on his arms and placed Qin Zhi's hand on her belly.

"Do you feel uncomfortable when he kicked you like that?" Qin Zhi gently stroked Liu Yiren's pregnant belly.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel extremely happy when I feel the child in my belly." Concubine Rou Liu Yiren showed a longing smile.

"You!" Qin Zhi raised his hand and gently rubbed her earlobe.

"Your Majesty, has the Queen been chosen? Who is she? When will she enter the palace?" Concubine Rou Liu Yiren asked bluntly.
