Liu Hua was startled by An Lingrong's sudden confession, especially her tone, which sounded gentle at first, but upon closer inspection, it was bone-chillingly cold, like a haunting female ghost.

Liu Hua chose to avoid the main point and immediately changed the subject, "Since they have already made their choice, why not ask them to go now.

Let's settle them down, it will be considered a true match made in love and bring more joy to Yonghe Palace."

Liu Hua called out to Dongli, who was counting the silver from Jiangnan using some old man's number Liu Hua had given him, and doing the calculation for Liu Hua.

Hearing Liu Hua's call, he immediately lifted the curtain and came in.

"Does Your Majesty have any instructions? Your Majesty has calculated the basic silver used for this southern tour, and I have calculated it again, and everything is correct.

I don't think Jiang Zhongmin from the Imperial Household Department would mess with our Yonghe Palace so easily."

Liu Hua nodded, first praising Dongli for her attentiveness, then instructed her, "Why didn't Xiao Yunzi and Cai Ju come in? They said they had something to do this morning, and they said it together. I guessed something was wrong a long time ago.

Today, Concubine An brought up these things again, so I'm afraid it's already been resolved."

Dongli and Caiju lived in the same room, so how could he not know that she was climbing through the window in the middle of the night or secretly winking at Xiaoyun through the crack of the door.

She did not hide anything from Liu Hua, "Your Majesty, Xiao Yunzi and Caiju pretended to deliver something to the Empress Dowager this morning and went to play in the garden of the Concubine Dowager's residence."

An Lingrong knew about their affair, but she hadn't expected them to be so presumptuous. She said to Dongli in dissatisfaction, "If they go out like this in the future, you should try to stop them. What if someone sees them?"

In Dongli's eyes, Caiju is like a little sister who has not grown up, and he usually protects her in front of Liu Hua.

Although I know today that she was the one who made the mistake first, I still apologized for her.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty. It's not that easy to be discovered. It's all in the concubine's garden, and no one usually goes there.

They will be back soon, so there is no need to look for them deliberately. They are all sensible and will come back on time every day.

An Lingrong then snorted, indicating that she understood.

Liu Hua also expressed his opinion in front of the two of them.

"Ask Caiju and Xiaoyunzi their opinions. If they truly love each other and are completely sure of each other, then give them a favor and let them live together."

Dongli's eyes widened in disbelief, but then he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Caiju is still young, and her eyes have only stayed in the palace. She can't tell what is good and what is bad.

Xiao Yunzi is indeed not bad, but for Caiju, he is not really a good man. When she is 25 years old and grows up, she can speak out and then make a good choice. "

An Lingrong leisurely refuted Dong Li's words, "How do you know that they don't fall in love with each other?"

"So what if they're in love? When Caiju is no longer pretty, Xiao Yunzi can find another palace maid to marry.

He was just a eunuch and couldn't give Caiju anything.

And if Caiju truly becomes his consort, she won't be able to leave the palace anymore. Xiao Yunzi was meant to stay in the palace for the rest of her life."

Liu Hua was speechless, and felt that what Dongli said made more sense.

It is a truth that romantic love cannot withstand the daily necessities of life.

But Liu Hua still insisted that Dongli tell Caiju and Xiaoyunzi. After all, Liu Hua was not qualified to decide their love.

If it really happens, it will probably be the first marriage in the harem that shows true love.

An hour before dinner, Xiao Yunzi and Cai Ju took their positions and prepared for their respective tasks.

Being a eunuch or a palace maid in the east of the Forbidden City, no matter how honorable you are, you still have to work hard.

Just like Songzhi that day, even as the head aunt, she had to sit on the cold ground or sleep on a bed made of two small stools outside the room to keep watch for Concubine Hua and Yinzhen.

Xiao Yunzi and Caiju's daily playfulness is just a good remedy for their dull, tedious and depressing life.

After dinner, Dongli saw the smiles in their eyes, so he stopped delaying and told them what Liu Hua meant.

When they first heard it, they were surprised and happy, but in the end they hugged each other in a corner and cried.

They were slaves and were not allowed to cry in the yard as it would seem disrespectful, so they could only hide in the side room and cry.

"I am a eunuch and cannot satisfy you. You can leave me at any time. Just think of me when you are bored. My life will not be in vain."

Xiao Yunzi has never been to school. Dongli lives next to the old lady in the Liu family because she is smart and clever.

When the young master was in school, he would hide at the foot of the wall and listen to the old teacher's lectures from time to time.

After learning a few words, I read many poems in a hurry, but I felt that what Xiao Yunzi said today was even more sincere and passionate than the affectionate poems in the book.

When Dongli was young, he liked Qin Guan very much - if the love between two people lasts for a long time, it doesn't matter if they are together day and night.

It was not until that year, when Mr. Liu and An Lingrong were discussing poetry on Jingshan Mountain, that they realized that this poem was written by Qin Guan to a singing girl from Changsha.

After the two of them had been in love for a few days, Qin Guan left without picking her up later.

Qin Guan was a nobleman, and he wrote such sentimental poems, but it does not represent his sense of responsibility.

Then why can’t Xiao Yunzi give it a try?

The fat and dark Fifth Prince Hong Zhou was enjoying the meat soup in the bowl with the help of Nanny Yun.

Seeing that Liu Hua wanted to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth, he stopped thinking because of his earth-shaking crying that even ghosts and gods would avoid him.

Nanny Yun protected Hong Zhou last time, and Ying Zheng was rewarded with many things. She also bought a larger mansion outside the palace. Now she has become more wealthy and plump.

"Your Majesty, I think among all the princesses and princes of the Emperor, our Fifth Prince looks the most like him."

Liu Hua nodded confidently, secretly complaining in his heart: "I'm afraid they will look more similar in the future. After all, Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan, and Shi Feng are not easy to mess with."

Liu Hua put his hand under Hong Zhou's neck and looked at his dark red skin.

I can't help but worry that no girl will be interested in him because of love in the future.

As soon as the topic of love was mentioned, Dongli came in and told Liu Hua about Xiao Yunzi and Cai Ju's attitudes. Liu Hua saw that they had really made up their minds.

After all, Cai Ju is 20 years old. Whether in the Qing Dynasty or now, she is an adult and has her own judgment, so let them do as they please.

Before leaving, she added to Dongli, "Caiju also needs a dowry. Although the palace maids and eunuchs cannot hold a grand ceremony, I cannot wear red clothes to send them off.

But the necessary ceremony still had to be done. It would be decent to decorate the interior of their house a little and choose festive red clothes for them both.

I'm making some gold ingots with Ruyi patterns for them, and I'll also give Caiju a phoenix crown."

After Liu Hua finished speaking, Qingmei and Pengpeng looked at each other, their hearts filled with envy.
