"Chun Yuan, you have a kind face and a good heart. Even on your deathbed, you would take good care of your sister. Now that you are still alive, you would definitely not want to see Concubine Wan's child without their mother."

Yixiu picked up the handkerchief embroidered with gold and brocade to wipe her tears, but her eyes were cold.

Liu Hua looked around and saw the beautiful women in the harem.

I thought to myself, with a hint of sarcasm.

"If Empress Chunyuan were still alive, I would be three points inferior to all these beauties. She is one year older than Empress Yixiu. Is she really kind and beautiful in Yinzhen's eyes?"

As one grows older, beauty fades, and as beauty fades, love comes later. This is the right way.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many concubines wanting to pursue a princess or even a prince.

Having children gives you confidence and some comfort in the depths of space.

"According to the Emperor, since Concubine Wan has already admitted her mistake, why not return to the palace so that everyone can have more fun.

But now that the New Year is approaching, it would be inappropriate to let her suffer any longer. We should choose an auspicious time in the spring to make a decision.

Tong Jia Yunrong changed her strategy and suggested to Yinzhen with a sweet smile.

"Empress Chang, the speed at which your expression changed is completely different from before. Don't you think you deserve it?"

Huanbi mustered up her courage and contradicted Tong Jia Yunrong, who was usually very respectful to her, behind her back.

"Everything for this palace is my cousin's priority. Since my cousin likes her and wants her to return to the palace, I will not hesitate.

It’s true that the palace rules are strict, but my cousin is the king of the Forbidden City. My cousin’s happiness is the most important thing.”

No wonder they say honest advice hurts to the ears and that flatterers are in power. That sounds really nice.

Liu Hua would be very happy to have a beautiful woman in front of him who was thinking about him wholeheartedly.

However, given Tong Jia Yunrong's temper, she would definitely make another choice.

"All of this is not a big deal. Since the emperor has made the decision, no one will stop him. I would like to ask what arrangements the Third Prince should make."

Qi Yuebin showed up inexplicably, and his intention to seize power began to emerge.

"When the Fourth Prince got married, he was a Duke of Fuguo, although he followed the Emperor to Jiangnan. But the Third Prince is a Beizi, which is higher, and the marriage was delayed for half a year, so the Emperor should give him some compensation."

Liu Hua's words were ambiguous. Yinzhen had expressed his intention to make Qi Yuebin a noble concubine, so naturally he could not neglect Liu Hua.

The news of promotion to imperial concubine cannot be released casually. The key is whether or not there are offspring.

"The Third Prince has been studying very hard recently. I will build a mansion for him and marry him off with great fanfare.

He is my eldest son, so I will confer him the title of Beile. The conferment ceremony will be held after the Spring Festival. Of course, the Fourth Prince has made great contributions in Jiangnan, and his service to me is very righteous, so I confer him the title of Beizi.

Other members of the royal family who have reached the age of aging should also be rewarded.

Yixiu took the fifth prince Hongzhou from Yinzhen's arms into her own arms, stretched out a finger, and teased his fat face.

My thoughts drifted to a rainy season many years ago, when a thin chin was wrapped in soft cloth and slowly died silently in my arms.

No mother would have the heart to see her own son calling him mother.

This is true for Zhen Huan, and even more so for Wuya Chengbi.

All matters, big and small, were summarized one by one, the important ones were discussed, and then the meeting in Jingren Palace was disbanded.

Liu Hua felt relieved. Yinzhen, ostensibly for her health, relieved himself of his power as assistant manager of the six palaces in order to temper her character.

Liu Hua got a lot of advantages. Since she was just recuperating, he didn't have to pay her respects to Yixiu. Even the fifth prince Hongzhou stayed in Yixiu's palace.

"Sister, I have recruited several Suzhou embroidery embroiderers in my home and have placed them in the Imperial Household Department."

An Lingrong herself was a master of Suzhou embroidery, and Yinzhen was amazed when he "accidentally" saw her work.

Liu Hua therefore petitioned for the throne and took this opportunity to allow Xunmei to enter the palace.

Since they are hired from outside, they can be withdrawn at any time.

"The servants pay their respects to the Empress Qian and the Empress An. May the two be blessed with longevity and good health."

Dongli, as the head aunt, was already feeling angry when she was in Jingren Palace. Liu Hua couldn't say anything, but that didn't mean she couldn't discipline her.

"Your Majesty, please go in first. I have something to say to them."

Liu Hua knew that he should be lenient with the palace maids and eunuchs, and he was afraid that they would become lazy after being away for so many days. So he did not ask any more questions and took An Lingrong into the main hall.

"Your Majesty is kind and considerate of your subordinates. She is asking you to guard Yonghe Palace and not let other palaces take advantage of the situation. Princess Longyue, even if you are weak, you must not be sick."

Qingmei and Pengpeng were the first to kneel down and accept the punishment, followed closely by the third-class palace maids and the eunuchs who did the menial work.

"We, the servants, would like to ask the Aunt in Charge to punish us."

"It's not a punishment, it's just a short month, and it's not easy for everyone. There won't be any extra rewards."

As the New Year approaches, Yonghe Palace will distribute large amounts of rewards every year, just like the Yiku Palace did in the past, but the rewards are limited to within the palace.

Everyone returned to their original duties. Qingmei took the path book given by Wuya Chengbi, and Liu Hua symbolically flipped through it a bit.

But I found that the red color in the ink had a bloody smell.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that this was sent to the palace by the practicing Concubine Shu to pray for Prince Guo.

After the masters had worshipped it for a long time, it was given spiritual energy. When Prince Guo returned safely, this item was given to the Empress.

"Concubine Shu is truly thoughtful, but why did Prince Guo return safely?"

Qingmei followed her master's instructions and recounted everything to Liu Hua: "The general said he was unwell and unable to drink ice. He even relinquished most of his remaining 100,000 troops and retreated to the Qinghai area.

With Princess Chaogui in Junggar, there's definitely no major worries. Prince Guo was only assigned to guard the border and hasn't actually been on the battlefield, so there's no need to worry."

Liu Hua waved his hand gently. Qingmei knew that she was not Liu Hua's confidant, so she quickly retreated.

"Sister, what's so mysterious about this?"

An Lingrong flipped through the Diamond Sutra with a dull look of interest. A strong smell of blood rushed into her nose, and some parts even had a faint moldy smell.

"How come this book is still moldy even though the monk performed this ritual?"

"How can a high monk really do this? If he really knew magic, he would want to achieve immortality first.

As for the mystery, I just find it strange that a man as powerful as Nian Gengyao reduced his 20 troops to and retreated to Qinghai. Yinzhen had already saved his dignity, so why did he retreat another ?

Liu Hua asked two questions and answered one, but he always felt something was wrong and things were out of control.

Nian Gengyao, who was born a Han Chinese bondservant, was able to reach the position of a first-rank general. He was really willing to be toyed with by Yinzhen in this way.

Who hasn't been to the battlefield and has not gained blood? Isn't the 14th Master the best example? He is not afraid of death. If his wife was not still in Yinzhen's hands, how could he bow his head and surrender!

"Sister, let's not talk about this for now. Even if the border is in danger, they can't reach our capital for the time being.

The key is how Xunmei and Taxue will meet.

"How else can we meet? Let's try Concubine Ning. She also gave birth to the Sixth Prince, so she can prepare some baby clothes for Tong Jia Yunrong, so it makes sense.

It also allows me to see the skills of this Suzhou embroidery master and see who is better than Arong.
