Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

Liu Hua forced a very awkward smile and said, "Now that I'm out, the most important thing is to take the emperor back to his room."

Yinzhen was very pleased with what he said, and the two of them walked into the warm room together.

Looking at the well-prepared food on the Eight Immortals' table, Yinzhen nodded.

"Xuan'er is still the one who pleases me the most. The food she prepared is very good."

Liu Hua, who was one of the first to see the beard growing on Hongli's mouth, openly reminded him to shave it off.

Now seeing the beard on Yinzhen's mouth, I feel like he seems to have aged ten years.

Dongli and Caiju pulled the two chairs apart, and Nanny Yun also carried the fifth prince Hongzhou to Yinzhen's side. Yinzhen was very happy to see his big fat black son.

"My fifth prince is different. He is healthier than other princes and princesses."

Nanny Yun took care of Hong Zhou every day, so she naturally knew what nice things to say.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince loves to make trouble every day, and he is about to leave now."

Yinzhen was originally free today, and thought that he hadn't seen Liu Hua for a long time, so he came to see him.

Seeing Nanny Yun say this, she was also happy to watch Hong Zhou's performance.

Under the gaze of everyone, Nanny Yun carefully placed Hong Zhou on a blanket and teased him with a cloth tiger.

Hongzhou was also very brave. He stood up immediately with his short chubby legs and took a few steps forward. However, because his center of gravity was unstable, he fell into Yinzhen's arms, with one of his chubby hands pulling Yinzhen's beard.

Yinzhen did not blame him, but rubbed Hongzhou's face with his beard. After a few rubs, Hongzhou burst into tears.

The more sadly Hongwu cried, the louder Yinzhen laughed. Nanny Yun felt a little reluctant, but because Yinzhen was there, she couldn't pick him up to comfort him.

He could only stand there anxiously. Liu Hua, who was standing next to him, discovered the problem in time and picked up Hongzhou from Yinzhen's arms. He was indeed heavy, and Liu Hua almost couldn't lift him up.

Caiju was a considerate person and became more sensible. She quickly took the baby from Liu Hua's arms and coaxed him softly.

Nanny Yun also hurried over.

"Your Majesty, you too, he is your son too, you want to make him cry."

Yinzhen also wanted to show his temper in front of Liu Hua today. After all, a man is a boy until he dies.

"How could I? I was outside visiting those officials, and you never even bothered to care about me.

I just came back and made him cry, and you're scolding me. Am I not better than him?"

Liu Hua's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained, "If I really want to show concern for Yinzhen and comfort the officials, I will be accused of meddling in government affairs.

What's wrong with the Emperor today? Didn't I already bring Fu Rujin and Fang Chunyi here? Why are you looking for me again?

Even though Liu Hua was very dissatisfied in his heart, he could only say nice things to satisfy Yinzhen's current psychology.

"Your Majesty is joking. In my eyes, you are certainly no match for the Fifth Prince.

You might as well list your merits so that I can tell who is more important between you and the Fifth Prince.

Yinzhen didn't say much, just pointed at the pile of dishes on the Eight Immortals table.

Although he said this with a smile on his face, Liu Hua had to be cautious.

"The dishes on this table are beyond the rank of a concubine. If it weren't for me, Xuan'er, Ri wouldn't be able to eat them safely."

Liu Hua took a look at the dishes and found that they were different from those in the palace, and most of them were specialties from the Jiangnan region.

His heart was at peace, so he sat down, picked up the ebony chopsticks, and picked up the gills of a plate of West Lake vinegar fish.

Yinzhen looked at the fish Liu Hua was eating, sitting on the armchair, his eyes full of smiles.

He was just about to laugh at Liu Hua's joke, as he often referred to the West Lake Vinegar Fish as a top-notch "delicious" dish in his book.

No chef can easily separate fish and vinegar.

Some fish don't even have the scales removed to preserve their freshness, but the one on Liu Hua's table has had the scales removed.

As expected by Yinzhen, Liu Hua simply picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He chewed it carefully first, then frowned and spit it on his handkerchief.

"No, this can be called the best dish in West Lake, how tasteless!

Don’t the people who are offered as tribute have long tongues?”

Yinzhen's laughter became louder and louder, even louder than when he laughed at Hongzhou just now.

"Who told you to eat these? Now you know how good they taste."

People will smile when they are speechless. Liu Hua could only agree with Yinzhen and smile bitterly.

Liu Hua felt that it was time to prove his innocence, and pointed at the large table of food and said:

"Your Majesty, I am mistaken. All of this is not something a concubine can enjoy.

Because they were dishes from outside, not from the palace, and they were tributed by them.

These dishes were paid for by my uncle's family. Will the emperor allocate some money from the palace to my uncle?"

Yinzhen had no intention of blaming Liu Hua. The dishes in front of him aroused his appetite. He tried a bite of all the dishes except the West Lake Vinegar Fish.

"We are husband and wife, and these dishes are just for your husband to fill his stomach. Why should I charge him money?"

Liu Hua didn't dare to talk to Yinzhen about being a husband and wife. Anyone who talked to him about being a husband and wife would end up badly.

"Your Majesty, you think that others are not bullying me enough, and you say that husband and wife are one. How dare I be your wife?

Back in the Forbidden City, he became a sitting duck again.

Yinzhen knew that many people in the Forbidden City were targeting Liu Hua, but he also gradually saw through some of her methods.

Liu Hua was very honest in his work and generous in his rewards to his servants. Yinzhen's only doubt was that Liu Hua's money was too much.

It seemed as if the supply was inexhaustible and could be used endlessly. Such an emperor who loved to confiscate property was very envious.

"Most people in the Forbidden City are on your side. How can anyone pull down this powerful tree like you?"

Yinzhen said this with a smile, but Liu Hua didn't think he didn't have any ulterior motives.

The best way now is to play dumb. Liu Hua put on a flattering smile and brought the large plate of boiled shrimps in front of Yinzhen to himself.

"Even big trees need nutrition. If Your Majesty is just talking and not eating, why not let me eat all your shrimps?"

Liu Hua ate heartily, not caring about the thoughts that flashed in Yinzhen's eyes.

Only by not looking at each other at this time can Liu Hua hide his current panic.

Yinzhen didn't realize it, but he couldn't help but recall in his heart the teachings and help he had given to Liu Hua when he first entered the palace.

Looking up, I saw only a pile of golden ornaments.

His expression became dazed. "Where are your jades?"

Liu Hua said nonchalantly, "When I was pregnant with Hong Zhou, the Emperor said that wearing white was not very festive.

Let me wear some gold ornaments, so that I can be rich and support myself. I don’t like wearing jade very much now.

The only thing that kept me company was the white lotus jade hairpin given by the Empress Dowager."
