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

"Brother Liu, congratulations! Not only did you pass the imperial examination this year, but you were also assigned to the Ministry of Personnel. You've directly become a principal!"

"Hey! Brother Wenhe, you're joking. I was just lucky."

Liu Wentao and Lin Wulue were praising each other in the corridor of a good jewelry store in Kyoto.

Upstairs, Fucha Yijia fanned herself and said in dissatisfaction, "She just got promoted to concubine by chance. As expected of someone from a humble family, these bondservants are just slaves."

Qi Fengji hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Fucha, how dare you speak on the royal family's affairs?"

Fucha Yijia had a sarcastic smile on her face and was holding the maid specially provided by the Treasure Pavilion in her arms.

He joked, "My sister is only a noblewoman now, but she will be pregnant soon."

A hint of darkness flashed in Qi Fengji's eyes, and he immediately complimented her, "Yes, that's great. With the background of your Fucha family, I'm afraid she will be promoted to concubine, and then to consort after the birth of a prince."

Fucha Yijia said arrogantly, "Of course, Concubine Hua has no children. If my sister becomes a concubine, what will Concubine Hua mean to me?

But your sister is a little too weak. I'm afraid she won't have children in this lifetime."

【Lotus Pavilion】

The Queen Mother, Wuya Chengbi, has implemented the worship of Buddha in every aspect of her life.

This seemed to be the only way to comfort the souls she had dealt with when she became the Queen Mother.

Liu Hua sat obediently on the soft couch that Aunt Zhuxi pointed to for him.

The Queen Mother did not come out for a long time. Liu Hua and the others were anxious and could only stare at each other with Aunt Zhuxi.

Aunt Zhuxi looked at Liu Hua in front of her and asked the little palace maid to serve her various snacks.

Liu Hua knew very well that Aunt Zhuxi was a hidden talent. She was the personal maid of the Empress Dowager when she was a court lady. She was not of high birth. She was the daughter of the county magistrate and her stepfather was wrongfully imprisoned.

She entered the palace at the age of fourteen.

I am 54 years old this year, which is considered old in this era.

Her position in the empress dowager's heart is self-evident. After all, the late emperor did not accompany the empress dowager for her entire life, but this Zhu Xi has been with the empress dowager for so long.

After three incense sticks, the empress dowager gently raised her jade hand, and the attendants beside her carefully pried open the precious coral bead curtain.

The pearl curtain swayed, making a slight sound, and Wuya Chengbi slowly sat on the throne in the middle.

The Queen Mother looked calm, her eyes filled with concern and majesty.

"Xuanpin, you have done a great job caring for the prince. The royal family lacks concubines with a heart like yours."

Liu Hua quickly stood up and saluted, saying that he dared not.

But the Queen Mother shook her hand and said, "You deserve it," and then she pulled out a jade lotus hairpin from her hair, hanging with tender yellow beads.

She said lovingly, "This is what the emperor's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyiren Tong Jia, wore when she was granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort. You are a good child, so I will give it to you today."

Liu Hua's heart was filled with shock and she quickly knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, how dare I ask for such a valuable thing!"

The Queen Mother was sitting on the throne, turning her Buddhist beads in silence. In the hot summer, the palace was full of ice, which made it a bit cool, but Liu Hua was covered in cold sweat.

After a long while, the empress dowager nodded, and then signaled Aunt Zhuxi to help Liu Hua up quickly.

"I was right. You are a good person. If you give birth to a princess and make her a concubine, I will give you the name 'Qian'."

The Queen Mother paused, recalling what Liu Hua had done since entering the palace.

She said meaningfully, "After you are promoted to concubine, you will be moved to Yonghe Palace.

As long as it's not too quiet there."

Liu Hua was extremely grateful. After all, it was very rare for a princess to be granted the title of consort. Usually, a prince was granted the title of consort.

As for the deeper meaning of Yonghe Palace, Liu Hua only understood a little after Zhuxi's explanation.

After all, this palace is far away from Yinzhen and is considered to be of middle to lower level among the twelve palaces in the east and west.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and handed the jade hairpin to Liu Hua personally.

But Liu Hua still refused. The Queen Mother did not give Liu Hua another chance. She walked down directly and inserted her jade hairpin into Liu Hua's hair.

Stroking Liu Hua's young face, he said, "When I was like you, I was still an official girl, but now you are a concubine."

Wu Ya Chengbi seemed to see her former self from the humility on Liu Hua's face.

The same was true for me. I had to deal with the four concubines and also divide my energy to deal with the Imperial Concubine and the Noble Concubine.

She still remembered that she could not raise her son because of her low rank. When her son saw her for the first time, he was not affectionate to her because his adoptive mother was Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia and she was only a concubine.

She did not dare to show too much concern for her own son because Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia would be dissatisfied. It was not until she gave birth to the fourteenth son that she showed extra care for him.

Wu Ya Chengbi never imagined that her most beloved son and the son she owed the most would become enemies.

Later, when he saw Yinzhen trying to kill Prince Guo, and when he saw the Queen Mother crying,

I could only slowly stroke the old man's back in his Shou'an Palace.

Wuya Chengbi asked Zhuxi to pack up a lot of novel pastries, and then personally escorted Liu Hua out of the bedroom.

Wuya Chengbi couldn't help but smile at Liu Hua's straight back and cheerful steps when he came out.

He said to Zhuxi, who had been with him for most of his life, "No wonder the Emperor and Empress like him. It's the nature of youth. I like him too."

Then he looked at the wild geese and mandarin ducks kept in captivity in the Old Summer Palace, and a bitter taste rose in his mouth.

Young people's love disappears too easily.

This was later told to Liu Hua by Wuya Chengbi, and then Liu Hua told Qingying when she became the empress dowager.
