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

Jingshan Mountain opposite Liu Hua was covered with white ice and snow.

She and An Lingrong sat together in the pavilion below, which was surrounded by a huge lake.

The ice and snow on Jingshan Mountain are like the frozen moonlight shining on the frozen lake.

At dawn, Liu Hua and An Lingrong wrapped themselves in a cloak and looked up at the white clouds on the top of Jingshan Mountain.

Liu Hua said unconsciously: "The moon is frozen over the lake, and clouds are flying over the ridge at dawn."

"Hahaha, come and chase me!"

The girl's sweet laughter reached Liu Hua's ears. Liu Hua looked up and saw a woman in a red cloak in the wind and snow. She was holding a red plum and chasing a group of little palace maids.

"Young Master, please slow down. If Mammy finds out, we'll be punished again."

"Today I have specially found a place far away, Madam will definitely not be able to find it.

If Mammy brings it up, you can just say I went to Noble Lady Wan's place."

The potatoes roasting on the iron stove and the grilled skewers next to it are emitting a fragrant aroma.

Chun was always sniffing, his watery eyes darting around.

Seeing Liu Hua and others, she cautiously asked her personal maid, Yu'er.

"Yu'er, look who's boiling the pot?"

Yu'er put her hand on her forehead to block the heavy snow, and opened her eyes to look out.

I saw seven or eight people crowded in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

He advised Fang Chunyi, "My dear, let's not go. His position is quite high."

Fang Chunyi felt a little aggrieved. She smelled the fragrance and felt hungry.

Just as he was hesitating, Dongli came over quickly.

"I, the maidservant in charge of Yonghe Palace, Dongli, pay my respects to Chun Changzai. "Changzai Jin, my queen has a request for you."

Fang Chunyi asked cautiously: "Which lady is it?"

"It's Concubine Xuan and Concubine An who are enjoying the snow in this pavilion."

Fang Chunyi said happily: "Can I really go and eat?"

Dongli chuckled and nodded.

"The Queen is just about to invite Changzai, and has already prepared the food for you."

Fang Chunyi skipped towards the pavilion where Liu Hua was.

Liu Hua and An Lingrong had already sat down, but the white bear cloak given by Concubine Hua was still covering An Lingrong.

Liu Hua asked Fang Chunyi to sit down and warmed a cup of ginger sugar tea for her.

Fang Chunyi took it with a smile and thanked Liu Hua sweetly.

An Lingrong, who was standing next to him, stretched out her flower-pot shoes and gently hooked one of Liu Hua's feet.

Dongli saw this and coughed softly.

A slight blush appeared on Liu Hua's face, and he added a lot of beef slices to An Lingrong in a soothing manner.

Even sprinkle cumin and salt on it personally.

Fang Chunyi standing next to him took note of it secretly.

"Princess Xuan and Concubine An are just like Sister Wan and Concubine Shen."

But Fang Chunyi seemed to feel that something was wrong with the two of them.

【Sui Yu Xuan】

Accompanied by Liu Hua and An Lingrong, Fang Chunyi picked many more plum branches and held a few brightly colored ones in her hands.

Then, she said goodbye with a sweet smile.

Seeing Fang Chunyi rushing in, Jinxi smiled and said, "Chun Changzai, be careful. The roads are slippery in the snow."

Jin Xi looked towards the inner room, where Zhen Huan and Yin Zhen were sitting on the warm couch.

She hurriedly stopped him: "Chun Changzai, the emperor is also inside. Would you like to wait a moment..."

Yinzhen lowered his head and was unaware of Fang Chunyi's arrival. He was just concentrating on copying the poems.

As soon as Fang Chunyi came in, Zhen Huan raised her head.

He asked her to sit down and said to Liu Zhu, "Chun Changzai is here. Hurry up and bring the milk cakes and chestnut cakes."

Fang Chunyi ate the cakes and said happily, "Sister Wan, this cake is really delicious."

Yinzhen watched Fang Chunyi eat, her cheeks shaking like a little hamster eating.

Yinzhen touched Fang Chunyi's hair bun lovingly and said with a smile, "You are happy to have cakes. Eat slowly and don't choke."

Fang Chunyi looked at Yinzhen and Zhen Huan with sparkling eyes, and teased deliberately,

"When I'm at home, my brother-in-law and sister treat me the same way."

Yinzhen looked at Fang Chunyi with great interest, while Zhen Huan took out a handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of Fang Chunyi's mouth.

Fang Chunyi said with a smile: "This beef bun is really delicious. Sister treats me so well. I am satisfied as long as I have cakes to eat every day."

Yinzhen laughed beside him and said with some nostalgia: "Today I am just a son of a rich family, forgetting all the troubles.

Zhen Huan saw that Yinzhen was rarely happy. In recent days, Nian Gengyao's temper had subsided very quickly, and he was no longer as arrogant and domineering as when he first came to Beijing.

As a suspicious emperor, Yinzhen felt more and more that Nian Gengyao must be hiding something from him.

The more obedient Nian Gengyao was, the more anxious Yinzhen became.

Zhen Huan said gently, "Then Your Majesty, please copy all the plum blossom poems for me."

Zhen Huan seemed to be immersed in the words "sister" and "brother-in-law" mentioned by Fang Chunyi, and unconsciously used the word "I".

Fang Chunyi then handed the plum blossoms in her hand to Yinzhen and said expectantly, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the plum blossoms I gave to Sister Wan?"

Yinzhen looked at the red plum carefully. Each petal was very complete, and the cut parts were tied with fine sky-blue ribbons.

"Did you pick this? But why does this color seem to be what Concubine Xuan often uses?"

Huanbi was sitting on a willow-branch wooden chair, reading a book and learning to read.

Because Zhen Huan told her that Yinzhen likes educated women.

Huanbi's apology to Liu Hua was not sincere, but was just a consideration of the current situation.

"Your Majesty, I have a question. Why is it that only Concubine Xuan can use any color in this palace?"

Yinzhen shook his head and looked at Huanbi's irregular handwriting and the peculiar way of holding the pen.

With a hint of disgust, she said, "Princess Xuan likes the color sky blue, often wears headbands, and wears brocade patterns. Isn't it known to everyone in the palace?"

Fang Chunyi nodded and said, "I have indeed seen Concubine Xuan. Concubine Xuan praised me for being cute and invited me to dinner. I was very happy to eat."

Huanbi, who was washing her hand brush, snorted in disdain.

The hand that turned the pages of the book exerted a little more force, but Zhen Huan noticed it in time.

Zhen Huan thought to herself, "Huanbi, you're still not at peace."

His gaze turned to Fang Chunyi's face, which still had baby fat.

"It is truly rare to have inner purity engraved in one's bones."

Fang Chunyi smiled with two dimples, and said to Yinzhen coquettishly:

"Your Majesty, have I grown taller? Chinese New Year is coming soon. How many gold melon seeds will Your Majesty give me?"

Yinzhen recalled what Liu Hua had said before and said with a smile: "You are only 16 years old this year, you will naturally grow taller."

Fang Chunyi said seemingly unintentionally: "After the New Year, I will be 17."

Zhen Huan next to her suddenly realized, and Huanbi next to her accidentally put her hand into the pen wash while thinking about something.

There was even more dissatisfaction in the look he gave Fang Chunyi.

Yonghe Palace

Liu Hua listened to Xiao Yunzi's report, "Your Majesty, the emperor turned over the name of Concubine Chun last night. This was Concubine Chun's first time sleeping with him."

"When Concubine Chun came to pay her respects today, the Empress said, 'Concubine Chun was smiling the entire time she was with the Emperor. She's so lively.'"

Liu Hua pretended to be unwell, and Yixiu didn't pay much attention to Liu Hua's greetings to her.

Because every time Liu Hua paid his respects, he just ate snacks, drank tea or ate fruits, and did not participate in the open or secret struggles between the Queen and Concubine Hua.

When Liu Hua was appointed as a concubine, the Queen Mother asked if she wanted to learn how to assist in the management of the six palaces. Liu Hua did not even think about it and decisively refused in front of the Queen and Concubine Hua.

Therefore, Liu Hua had already postponed the greeting ceremony at five o'clock in the morning, which took place every three days in winter.

Liu Hua's excuse was naturally that he was not feeling well, and An Lingrong had to take care of him.

Concubine Hua and the Queen did not want to share power, so they left it to Liu Hua.

That's why I accompanied An Lingrong to watch the snow early yesterday morning.

Liu Hua opened the diamond-shaped window, letting the smell of charcoal in the room dissipate with the wind.

However, her breath was also blown to An Lingrong who was embroidering.

Snowflakes accidentally fell on Liu Hua's face.

An Lingrong, who was standing opposite, glanced at them for some unknown reason, and snowflakes began to fall on the hair of both of them.

In order to have a more engaging conversation with Liu Hua, An Lingrong has read quite a few books.

With selfish motives, I know there is a sentence that can better describe this moment.

"A head covered with frost and snow is also a head of white hair."

However, the snow that had just fallen on her hair was evaporated by the heater in the house and turned into water droplets.

An Lingrong didn't know what was going on, but she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Xiao Yunzi continued interestingly, "I heard that Concubine Chun specifically told the Empress that she wanted to live with Concubine Wan, saying that Concubine Wan would feel lonely living alone."

"Noble Lady Fucha was furious, saying that Concubine Chun was trying to climb up the social ladder.

However, I don't understand, doesn't someone from Suiyuxuan already agree to it?"

Liu Hua thought of something and said, "Who else lives in the Yanxi Palace now?"

Xiao Yunzi said respectfully, "There are also Concubine Xia, Concubine Ning, and Noble Lady Fucha."

"By the way, Noble Lady Fucha has moved to the main hall."

Liu Hua thought to himself, "I wonder how many people have been angered by Fucha Yixin this morning. The future of the crown prince is even more uncertain."

"Huan promised to make tea. Can you make a cup for me and my sister?"
