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

Officials in Jiangnan first sent sea ships and then asked foreign envoys to meet Yinzhen.

Which one of them is not worthy of the title of lifting the maritime ban? Once the maritime ban is lifted, there is a lot of money to be made.

Fu Rujin started by speaking for them, and then there were rounds of advice and suggestions.

Yinzhen sneered and did not respond.

A young man dressed in the attire of a first-rank official stood up first. Liu Hua looked at him and thought he was too young.

He should be in his early 30s, and it is very rare for someone to hold this official position at this age.

After he stood up, Yinzhen's expression became serious, with a hint of coldness.

"Governor Yin, what do you want to tell me?"

Liu Hua didn't want to listen to what he said. She said to Yinzhen beside her, "I will take my leave first."

After Liu Hua finished speaking, both Yinzhen on the high platform and the ministers below showed admiring looks.

As for Yin Jishan, he tilted his head slightly and smiled at Lin Rulan who was sitting behind him.

Tong Jia Yunrong also saluted Yinzhen, and all the concubines in the harem retreated behind the scenes.

When Liu Hua came back, he saw that the palace was in an uproar. After asking, he learned that it was Yinzhen who had just issued an imperial decree to prepare for a visit.

Liu Hua was overwhelmed by this sudden surprise or shock. She didn't know what was happening and how it could happen so quickly.

Xiao Xiazi bowed and nodded in front of Liu Hua, and listened quietly to Liu Hua's instructions.

"I am going to the Lin family, and Concubine An is going to Songyang County. What about the other sisters?"

Xiao Xiazi could only report this, "Fu Changzai has to accompany the emperor, and Concubine Chang is pregnant and has to stay in the palace."

Fang Chunyi was very anxious at the moment. Xiao Xiazi had only mentioned Tong Jia Yunrong and Fu Rujin just now, but she herself didn't know what the arrangements were. She didn't want to stay in the palace with Fu Rujin.

Before leaving the palace, Fang Chunyi learned from Shen Meiyu how Tong Jia Yunrong dealt with Zhen Huan, and her whole body felt as if it was immersed in ice water.

She looked at Liu Hua for help, while An Lingrong next to her looked at Fang Chunyi with a half-smile.

"Since Concubine Fu has gone, Concubine Chun should also go with her. It's not considered as favoritism."

Xiao Xiazi was in a dilemma. Seeing her in a dilemma, Liu Hua looked towards the carriage behind and found that Fu Rujin's carriage was empty.

He also realized in his heart that either Fu Rujin would take the initiative to find Yinzhen again, or Yinzhen would find Fu Rujin. In any case, the two of them would have to perform a big drama of a secret visit.

As soon as Liu Hua came in, he warned everyone in the palace, especially Fu Ruyin. The palace maid next to her was assigned to her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so how could she be sincere?

It was just a promise of gold, silver and jewelry. After a while, she copied down all the letters that the Fu family sent to Fu Rujin.

Liu Hua didn't believe it completely. After all, the fact that a palace maid could write was enough to make her wary.

Fang Chun thought that Liu Hua just turned around to look at the carriage behind him. She also knew that Fu Rujin, who left last, did not follow them at all. She was desperate at the moment. She was smart, but that didn't mean she wasn't afraid.

"Empress Qian, I really don't want to stay here. Sister Shen..."

"Okay," Liu Hua interrupted her. Even though she didn't know what Fang Chunyi was going to say, Liu Hua knew very well that if Shen Meizhuang was wrong, Wen Shichu would not know what kind of situation would be caused.

Wei Lin is his own man, and Wen Shichu is his master. If he is implicated, he will also suffer losses.

Liu Hua knew Wei Lin best. She followed Zhen Huan only because Zhen Huan could give him the power he wanted. If she could not help him become the judge of the Right Court, she would be in trouble.

I'm afraid he won't be loyal and will use Wen Shichu's method to take over other people.

"The Emperor will definitely not show favoritism, Xiao Yunzi, go ask again and ask Concubine Chun to go as well.

When you see the Emperor, tell him that this trip is to show His Majesty's grace and benevolence to the world, but please don't overwork yourself. Concubine Chun can also help relieve His Majesty's fatigue when necessary."

Xiao Yunzi was Liu Hua's confidant, so how could she not know that Yinzhen was going on a secret visit under the guidance of Fu Rujin?

The letter that arrived last night was truly shocking. A minister in the opposition who had long lost his official position actually had the emperor personally come to his house to present him with precious treasures.

The most crucial thing is that a person of this status could actually deliver the letter to this palace. Firstly, the defense of this palace is really loose, and secondly, the person behind him is also quite powerful.

Xiao Yunzi was very smart and of course he understood that Liu Hua was considering the application and wanted to use Fang Chunyi as a shield.

After all, the emperor's incognito visit would not be a matter of one or two days, but three or four days. At this time, Fang Chunyi was beside her, which also made it clear that the emperor was in the official residence in Jinling City and had not gone out.

Xiao Yunzi took the order and left. Fang Chunyi breathed a sigh of relief. Tong Jia Yunrong was not so easy to fool.

With her keen political sense, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Tong Jia Yunrong did not take any action. The purpose of her trip was to protect her baby and avoid being harmed by the empress dowager in the palace.

As for Yinzhen's favor, she would have it even if the baby was a princess when she was born.

According to Yinzhen's promise, giving birth to a princess would not result in a promotion, but there should still be some expression of his gratitude.

Pampering is the best thing.

The honor and disgrace of so many women in the palace depend on a small piece of paper.

That night, the entire palace was still in turmoil.

Instead, it became even more lively, because Yinzhen issued an order to leave the capital, which made Liu Hua and An Lingrong leave the palace immediately.

Liu Hua once told Yinzhen to be frugal, but unexpectedly Yinzhen became extravagant this time and gave her and An Lingrong a grand ceremony, which attracted a lot of attention, yes, attention.

Most officials' attention gradually shifted to the concubines in the palace brought by Yinzhen, and they were silently placing their bets.

Liu Hua looked at the gifts piling up in his yard in the middle of the night, and now he realized that the access control system of the Forbidden City was really a good thing.

She couldn't sleep to begin with, and seeing these things made her even more unable to sleep. An Lingrong hugged her from behind.

Liu Hua was startled and quickly grabbed her hand and walked into the inner room.

"Sister, why are you so anxious? What did the emperor find out? Wasn't it you who released him?"

Liu Hua was not worried that Yinzhen would really find out anything. They were referring to his mother's maternal clan, not his own maternal clan. Even if three clans were to be exterminated, Liu Hua would not be the only one to be punished.

Moreover, Liu Hua did not believe that Yinzhen had seen the Lin family giving out rice and porridge and treating patients.

He would even get angry when he was given subsidies to poor farmers' children to take the imperial examinations.

What worries her now is how An Lingrong will face An Bihuai, her sad father, after returning to the An family.

What kind of person is An Bihuai? Liu Hua knew it very well, so it was inevitable that he would take this opportunity to ask An Lingrong for something.

The most important thing is that An Bihuai should not take advantage of An Lingrong's return home to visit her parents to do evil things and cause trouble for himself and An Lingrong in the palace.

Liu Hua could imagine how helpless An Lingrong was when An Bihuai accepted bribes reaching hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, with no one behind her.

But in this life, I am right behind her.

Yinzhen was afraid that the officials would accuse him of extravagance and haste, so he declared in a separate post: "It has already been arranged, and the money will not be paid by the national treasury, but by the concubines themselves. This was discussed in the harem."

When Liu Hua learned the news the next day, his impression of Yinzhen dropped again.

When she first entered the palace, Yinzhen still had some genuine feelings for Liu Hua and would give her some guidance.

By now, having seen so many beauties, he began to scheme.

Not only did she and An Lingrong cover up for Yinzhen and attract his attention, but they also had to pay for it, especially An Lingrong. How could she afford it?

Doesn't this give An Bihuai a legitimate excuse to get the money? And since they're leaving tomorrow, the total preparation time is only a full day.

An Bihuai's hungry wallet must have been thirsty for a long time, right?

"Don't worry, sister. He has moved into a big house now. He used to write to warn people about the big money, but he didn't get any.

But water and oil are definitely necessary. I only stay overnight and eat two meals a day, so it won’t cost much.”

An Lingrong saw that Liu Hua had not slept all night and was still wandering around while eating. Since she and her had a telepathic connection, she knew what Liu Hua was thinking about.

"No, the emperor wants us to go in style, so let my uncle take some money. After all, he is happy to do so."

"Not good, sister."

"Why not? Husband and wife share common property. I don't know how much money my uncle made by using my name. He said he had people send salt and cloth to Nian Gengyao. It was more than 200,000 or 300,000 taels of silver every year."

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

When Zhen Yunming arrived at Liu Hua's yard, he saw piles of gifts. However, none of them had been moved in, they were just being registered. Many of them were anonymous, and no one knew who sent them.

Zhen Yunming has been in the business world for many years, and she entertains the wives of dignitaries every day in the hope of protecting her husbands.

Of course, we know that these anonymous people are the real big bosses, and the real list of names has long been hidden in the gifts.

Those who have their names marked on them are the ones who don’t know the rules.

"Our queen is so noble, how could she do things for them just for a small gift, and even remember their names just because of a small gift? It's ridiculous."

Zhen Yunming lowered his head and walked into Liu Hua's main hall, thinking as he walked.

When Liu Hua saw her coming, he quickly asked her to sit down.

An Lingrong was already feeling very guilty. She wanted to go visit her parents, but she couldn't even take out money from her mother.

At this moment, she also wanted to say something good to Zhen Yunming and express some gratitude, but when her eyes fell on the auspicious clothes Zhen Yunming was wearing.

I was instantly puzzled. "She is just the wife of a merchant family. How could she possibly afford to wear such a royal attire?"

An Lingrong sat on Liu Hua's right and whispered softly in her ear: "Sister, your aunt has an imperial decree, not a royal decree."

Liu Hua suddenly woke up and looked carefully at the clothes Zhen Yunming was wearing as he knelt on the ground.

According to the system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the wives of officials of ranks 1 to 5 were granted imperial decrees, while those of ranks 6 to 9 were granted pardons.

Liu Hua lived in the deep palace, and the only ladies he saw were wives of royal family ministers or wives of high-ranking Manchu officials, all of whom dressed like Manchu ladies.

Therefore, Liu Hua did not quite understand how the women of the Han army banner should dress.

What's more, Zhen Yunming is not a Han army flag, he can only be considered a Han Chinese from Jiangnan.

According to the Yuan Dynasty system, they would be the fourth class of people: southerners.

Her imperial attire was not as eye-catching as the previous ones. It did not have the eight embroidered five-clawed dragons on the auspicious robes of the other wives, nor did it have the eight round flowers on the auspicious robes of the ordinary Han army flags.

There are only some flowers and auspicious birds, but this style should be suitable for a fifth-rank lady.

Liu Hua now regretted that he had voluntarily withdrawn from the banquet because he was afraid that Yinzhen would suspect him of interfering in government affairs.

Liu Hua still had only a vague idea of ​​what happened after the banquet.

It doesn’t matter, there is a ready-made message bar here.

"Aunt, please stand up first. How can I allow you to perform such a grand ceremony?"

After Liu Hua finished speaking, Cai Ju, who was standing next to him, helped Zhen Yunming up, took out the handkerchief from her waist, and brushed off the dust stuck on her trouser legs.

Xiao Yunzi brought Zhen Yunming an embroidered robe. This treatment was completely different from when Lin first entered the palace.

Liu Hua never asked Lin to make her a real dress. Every time, Dong Cai and Cai Ju would support her together.

Zhen Mingming knelt on the ground for some time. She originally thought that Liu Hua was unhappy because his daughter was going to enter the palace, so she didn't dare to speak.

"Aunt, this imperial dress is truly rare and beautiful. I have never seen anything like it in the palace."

After listening to this, Zhen Yunming grinned. Her husband and son's success is the greatest confidence for her as a wife and mother.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. This suit is an old-fashioned style. At the ceremony yesterday, the Emperor praised your cousin Wu Lue for his skill in beating the barbarians. He said he could beat seven or eight of them alone.

In addition, our family has been doing good deeds under the orders of the Empress, and the Governor has also told the Emperor about it, so the Emperor was so pleased that he granted me a title of nobility.

Liu Hua and An Lingrong looked at each other and realized that the key might lie with Governor Yin.

Liu Hua originally thought that Yin Jishen was just dissatisfied because Longkodo asked him to take the blame.

First, she found out about Yinzhen's preferences and sent Fu Rujin into the palace. Later, she wanted to expose Longkodo's crimes in Jiangnan.

This is the only way to get rid of his original guilt and redeem the bad reputation he had previously been slandered with. It would be best if Yinzhen would feel guilty about him and reward him accordingly.

But now it seems that Governor Yin still wants to be the next Longkodo.

Zhen Yunming was unaware of the tense atmosphere and continued to talk to himself and said many nice things before revealing his true purpose.

"My Lady, since I came back last time, I have been thinking about you all the time.

When this lady comes home this time, I will have a good talk with her.

If you really still miss her, why not bring her to this palace? It's just a palace after all, and it's not as strict as the Forbidden City.

If you tell the emperor something, that's fine too."

Liu Hua lowered his head and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand. These beads were given to him by Wu Ya Chengbi.

His thoughts couldn't help but drift to the Buddha statue given by Wuya Chengbi, and he had already decided to give it to Shen Meizhuang.

Regardless of whether Shen Meizhuang is pregnant or not, she can at least give some hints.

"Your Majesty, you must have been tired last night. The Emperor issued the decree so hastily, and thank you for your trouble."

"Aunt, you're joking. This time, the funding will still be provided by our Lin family. The emperor joked that the show should be grand, so let's make it grand.

By the way, I asked someone to secretly sell some of the Lin family’s furniture.

After all, our family does these good deeds every day to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and even if we earn more money, we can’t keep it.
