"Sister, look. It seems to be Huanbi from the Wan Guiren Palace. She is picking lotus flowers with us."

Liu Hua placed the fan on his forehead to block out the strong light of the summer afternoon and looked up.

Huanbi, wearing a bean green cheongsam with a pink collar, was picking lotus flowers there.

The lotus attracted flocks of butterflies, which complemented the two blue and green butterflies on her headdress.

But Caiju would not let her off. She angrily said to Liu Hua, "That was the young lady's favorite lotus flower. It was the most beautiful one, and she was so picky that she picked them all!"

Just as Caiju was complaining, Huanbi threw some poorly picked lotus flowers back into the pond, and the originally lush lotus leaves were also messed up.

An Lingrong frowned, and she thought back to when she personally went to deliver Fu Guangjin, it was this palace maid who looked her up and down.

Now, he has no manners and is bullying his elder sister!

An Lingrong winked at You Ran behind her, and You Ran ran away quickly.

He quickly grabbed Huanbi's restless hands, and then pulled all the lotus flowers she picked into his own hands.

She complained dissatisfiedly, "Whose maid are you? How can you be so rude? Don't you know this is our lady's place?"

Huanbi pouted and retorted, "This whole world belongs to the emperor!"

These words made Liu Hua, An Lingrong and the others extremely uncomfortable. Cai Ju, who was lively and active by nature, certainly did not indulge her.

"Da da da" he ran over and pushed Huanbi hard, pushing her into the jasmine bushes next to him.

"I didn't know that this Red Lotus Waterside Pavilion was where our Lady Xuan Concubine lived. Taking it without asking is theft.

There is nothing missing from the Old Summer Palace, but there are plenty of lotus flowers! Why did they insist on taking them from us? What are they thinking?

Looking at the broken and messed up lotus flowers, she said, "Just break it, but why break it into such a mess? Our Empress and An Changzai love cakes made from lotus flowers the most, and you've turned them into this."

Huanbi knew she was wrong but refused to change. She suddenly stood up and pushed Caiju again, saying, "You ruined my new dress made of floating brocade!"

"Wait a minute, bring that maid up here!"

Liu Hua didn't want to waste any more time watching this boring show, but Huanbi mentioned Fu Guang Jin.

This reminded her of something, and her face instantly darkened. If Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were sisters, she shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.

But now Arong is hers. When she first entered the palace, Arong didn't have anything good. In order to repay Zhen Huan for her kindness in giving her the Begonia, she gave her the best Fuguangjin again.

Something that Arong herself was reluctant to wear was actually given to a servant by Zhen Huan.

How could I not be angry when Arong's sincerity was trampled upon like this?

Huanbi struggled, but was still forced forward by Caiju and Youran.

After Huanbi carefully looked at Liu Hua, she knelt down in fear, but still looked unconvinced.

Liu Hua used an ivory fan to swat the kingfisher butterfly on Huanbi's head and warned her in a serious tone:

"There are regulations for headwear and clothing in the palace. Slaves wear what they are supposed to wear and carry what they are supposed to carry."

Huanbi was so angry that her teeth itched. She raised her head and said to Liu Hua, "When the empress was trying to win favor by dancing to the Qingshang music, who knows how many skinny horses have danced to that tune?

Is that compliance?”

An Lingrong stepped forward. Although Zhen Huan had done her a favor, Liu Hua was not someone Huanbi could talk to.

She raised her hand and slapped her in the face, saying, "The Queen is the master, and you are the servant. Even the noble Wan in your family wouldn't dare to speak to me like that, but you are so bold!"

"It's clearly a New Year's Eve banquet, a celebration for the Emperor. Are you saying that the Emperor likes looking at skinny horses? Are you saying that the Emperor is a tyrant?"

Huanbi hadn't realized her mistake yet, so Liu Hua gave Zhen Huan some face and said:

"Okay, send her back and explain the whole story to Lady Wan."

Liu Hua still didn't go to extremes. After all, Shen Meiyu's pregnancy was fake. If Huanbi did something against the rules, and they were caught by their arch-enemy Concubine Hua, it would be better to punish them all.

Unfortunately, Huanbi is loyal but too arrogant.

However, he is not as arrogant as Shen Meizhuang, but rather conceited and noble.

Huanbi stood up immediately and said bitterly, "Empress Xuan, please don't be too proud. Your background is not very good either."

Then he turned to look at An Lingrong and said dissatisfiedly, "An Da... Chang Zai's father, let alone."

Liu Hua's mind moved slightly: "An Bihuai."

Qin Yun, who was fanning Liu Hua, had a gleam in his eyes. He smiled flatteringly as Liu Hua said, "Miss Huanbi, what you said is really disrespectful. You should go to the Shenxing Division."

Liu Hua turned to look at the attentive Qin Yun, covered his forehead, and thought, "Is he okay now? Has he been caught by the Hua Fei team?"

Liu Hua didn't want to explain things to Huanbi in detail, so he asked Xiao Yunzi to cover her mouth, threw her out of Honglian Waterside Pavilion, and let her go to Zhen Huan to explain herself.

Huanbi returned to Bitong Academy in a huff. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Liuzhu catching cicadas.

Liu Zhu saw that she came back empty-handed, and even the clothes she used to love so much were covered in dirt.

Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Huanbi, where have you been?"

Huanbi then realized that she had not completed Zhen Huan's task. Liuzhu looked at her standing there stupidly like a fool.

He said with some amusement, "You are usually so smart, why are you so stupid now? The young lady and the emperor are inside, you should change some clothes and serve tea."

Huanbi thought of the emperor, then of what Concubine Cao had said to her, and of her deceased mother.

if……

Huanbi made up her mind and hurried to the nearest pond to pick a few better lotus flowers and a few leaves, and then went into the room to choose clothes.

Seeing Huanbi rummaging through boxes and drawers, Yu'er asked in confusion, "Sister Huanbi, what are you looking for?"

Huanbi blurted out subconsciously: "It's the new cloud-blue dress I made, and the pearl hair ornament the young lady gave me."

Ying'er's heart moved slightly, and she glanced at the room where Zhen Huan and Yinzhen were, then quietly left.

After carefully dressing up and holding the lotus flowers, she came into the room and saw Yinzhen. She immediately saluted with a charming look and said in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed with good health and happiness."

Zhen Huan, who was lying on the couch, leaned forward, her eyes flashing with interest as she looked at Huanbi's outfit and her shy posture.

Yinzhen was surprised by her outfit and her face which looked 50% like Zhen Huan.

Dressed like this, she doesn't look like Zhen Huan, but more like...

Of course, it’s only one or two points.

But he still asked with great interest: "Why pick so many lotus flowers?"

Huanbi replied in surprise: "Your Majesty, our young lady likes to smell the fragrance of lotus flowers in the summer, so I went to pick them specially."

Then he brought out a blue and white porcelain basin made in Jingdezhen, poured clean water into it, and then placed lotus flowers on it one by one.

Yinzhen was even more interested in her actions, but he hadn't asked any questions yet.

Huanbi explained, "I think the lotus looks more real when placed on this clear water. Your Majesty, you can play with it."

Yinzhen praised Zhen Huan, saying, "She is indeed worthy of your training. She is very attentive."

Zhen Huan's heart moved, and she looked at the flirting Huanbi and sighed inwardly.

"If she really wants to be the mistress, then let her do it."
