Jianqiu smiled, and this smile made Liu Hua very scared.

"Xuan Chang is here. If there is nothing else, Nubei will leave first."

Liu Hua felt a little relieved, but immediately became more alert.

She activated her single-celled paramecium-like brain and thought:

"The Queen's tactics are truly powerful! If I were forced to choose a team today, I would choose the Queen or Concubine Hua.

What’s even worse is that some people think they are smart and choose neither.

With my abilities, I won't have a good ending.

This actually reflects the Queen's intentions and tolerance, rather than Hua Fei's initial pressure."

Liu Hua slumped on the soft couch, rubbing his temples with his hands dipped in the hot water from the teacup.

"The Queen has been so thoughtful today because she's hoping I'll develop a favorable impression of her and win her over."

"But what does she see in me?"

Liu Hua thought to himself that both Concubine Hua and the Queen were not easy to mess with.

Yunchao was trained by the upper three banners as Lipin's palace fighting companion system.

How could he not have the tact? He also knew to leave a good impression on Liu Hua. After all, leaving an impression just now was a difficult task for a newcomer.

Yun Chao sighed inwardly, "This Miss Xuan, I really hope she's true to her nature. Otherwise, if she's so flexible, there'll be another big Buddha in the palace."

After the palace maids and eunuchs in the east side hall paid their respects to Liu Hua, they went back to their posts and packed up their belongings.

The usual configuration in the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is three eunuchs and three palace maids.

This does not include the personal maid that Liu Hua brought from home.

Liu Hua considered himself not a good person, so he asked An Lingrong for her mother's maid, Youran, in order to win her over.

After all, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right.

Caiju and Dongli counted the items Liu Hua brought from home and carefully placed them in the wooden box under the glazed window.

Especially the 500,000 taels of silver were hidden under the jade pillow.

During Liu Hua's time in the palace, she slept very peacefully with the silver under her head every day, unlike other women who shed tears alone in the middle of the night.

Liu Hua looked at the long and narrow bed and felt extremely tormented.

I'm used to sleeping in a big bed, and in this era I'm pampered and wake up naturally at noon.

Liu Hua felt that this "lucky" bed was extremely painful.

He sighed and sat back on the chair with his hands supporting his cheeks.

Dongli and Caiju next to them looked at each other, and ordered the little palace maids who had just been selected, Caixia and Cuiyun, to go to the imperial kitchen to get food.

At this moment, the second-class maid Qin Yun said, "Empress Hua and Concubine Li are very caring for you, my lady, and have prepared food for you in the small kitchen."

Liu Hua was looking at Qin Yun in his mind. He had a pretty face, but there was a bit of harshness between his eyebrows. He seemed to be petty.

I thought I should send him away to a quiet place so as not to offend him or cause trouble for myself.

Otherwise, who would know that she was the second Yu Ying'er?

Dongli, who was standing next to him, had followed Liu Hua's grandmother since childhood, so he naturally cared a lot about it.

He smiled and said, "Qin Yun, I'll go with you."

After a while, the two of them brought out a large plate.

It was far more than the usual portion, especially the eight-treasure black chicken soup, lotus root powder meatballs, braised pork tenderloin, and pickled cabbage and spicy cucumber shreds.

Not to mention the various special desserts, dried fruits and melon seeds.

Although Liu Hua was worried, he was also amazed. After all, people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.

Besides, it has already been taken. If I reject Hua Fei's kindness, I will not end up well.

The dishes were served. Adhering to the principle of "since I'm already here, I might as well eat", Liu Hua was supported by Dongli to the table with peace of mind. He wolfed down the food with big mouthfuls. His eating manners were really hard to describe.

Fortunately, she has a beautiful face. Liu Hua's face is indeed good-looking. It looks cold with the clothes she wears, but she looks charming again after changing clothes. In addition, her figure is not as good as that of the women in Jiangnan. She is about 1.7 meters tall.

Among the women in the harem, she is indeed tall, with a slender figure and truly beautiful.

Her skin is fair, and even though she eats in an uncouth manner, she still looks playful, cute and innocent.

After all, her image is completely different from those concubines in the palace who have 800 thoughts in their minds after hearing a word.

After eating and drinking his fill, Liu Hua fell into a deep sleep with everyone's help.

Yanghe Hall, the eastern side hall of Qixiang Palace.

Liu Hua didn't know the name of the place he lived until the next morning. He didn't feel guilty. Instead, he thought that "Yanghe" meant lying flat.

But paying respects to the Queen at five in the morning is really annoying.

Liu Hua's eyelids were twitching up and down. Under Cai Ju's repeated instructions, he posed to make it easier to change his clothes.

Caiju took a few clothes with elegant colors but exquisite embroidery, as well as some matching silver and jade jewelry.

Liu Hua looked at the accessories and shook his head, thinking to himself:

"This is my first time paying my respects to the Queen. Amongst a crowd of gorgeous beauties, how could I not stand out dressed like this?

I really don't understand how someone as smart as Zhen Huan couldn't figure it out."

Liu Hua waved his hand and ordered, "These are too plain and not suitable for today's occasion. Change me into something brighter."

Dongli thought that his daughter was not the kind of vain person, so he immediately understood and said:

"The Empress gave me an exquisite jade hairpin with red agate on it, which is very beautiful. The gold-rimmed Su silk hairpins given by Concubine Hua are also very nice. Why not take them all with you?"

Liu Hua nodded in satisfaction. Dongli took the opportunity to add, "My lady, what do you think of this light yellow apricot blossom dress?"

Liu Hua looked at the Manchu dress. The fabric was of fine quality, and on the soft background like the tender buds of early spring, it was embroidered with tender yellow apricot flowers.

Liu Hua stood in front of the half-length peep show, sizing up the somewhat unfamiliar girl.

The waist is cut just right, perfectly outlining the girl's slender and graceful figure. As the girl walks, her slender waist appears and disappears, like a willow swaying in the wind.

Liu Hua was very satisfied with his figure and unconsciously touched his chest twice.

After eating a few more pieces of cakes to calm her stomach, she staggered out of the Yanghe Palace with her two maids.

An Lingrong from the western side hall, Huanfu Palace, had already been waiting at the gate of Qixiang Palace.

Seeing Liu Hua appear at the palace gate on time, she felt relieved and wanted to pat her chest and say, "Sister, thank goodness you're up. When you were at home, you always had to ask me to call you. The etiquette maid in the palace reminded me countless times. Fortunately, you're not late this time."

Liu Hua patted An Lingrong's shoulder and said with a smile, "Ah, it's all thanks to Lingrong. But when can I get some more sleep?"

Lipin proudly stepped onto the colorful banner, looked back at the two of them, and said boastfully, "Don't even think about sleeping a little longer. If it were you, my sister, you'd better leave quickly, lest you be late. I'll leave first in my sedan chair."

Following Lipin's sedan chair, they hurried and hurried until they finally arrived at Jingren Palace. There were still many empty seats.

For example, Concubine Hua who disrespects Concubine Yixiu and Concubine Duan who is plagued by illness.

The newcomers to the palace all stood in the center, and Liu Hua looked at Zhen Huan carefully.

She was wearing a moon-white cheongsam, pure and with a touch of elegant luster.

The girl's head was decorated with a few simple velvet flowers, which were carefully pinned in her black hair, like stars twinkling in the dark night.

A few silver hairpins were casually inserted into the bun, without any excessive carvings on the hairpins.

Her face was not heavily made up, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, undecorated yet natural and pretty, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water.

She stood there, exuding a fresh and refined aura.

"Da da da"

The sound of footsteps came from under the flowerpot. It was Concubine Hua.

Liu Hua didn't want to attract her attention, so he lowered his head and acted like a fool.

Concubine Hua bowed perfunctorily and sat down on the left without waiting for the Queen to "stand up".

The newlyweds were not arranged according to their status or the difference between Manchus and Han people, so Liu Hua and Zhen Huan naturally did not stand together.

Everyone drew out the embroidered handkerchiefs from their waists and waved them in salute to the queen.

Liu Hua couldn't help but recall the sentence "I have been so presumptuous many times even though I am not allowed to do so". It was a pity that this strong-willed woman ended up like this, but the queen was also very miserable.

Originally, Big Fat Ju promised to make Yixiu his principal wife after she gave birth to a son, but in the end, she was snatched away by her own sister.

Moreover, her own son died because he had no right to see an imperial physician! Even her husband, who saw her day and night, asked her to take care of Chunyuan, who was pregnant.

Yixiu did not make things difficult for the newcomer, but only said that the sisters should serve the emperor together.

Then came the highlight of paying respects to Concubine Hua.

As expected, it was Sister Siji. Unaware of the danger, Concubine Hua asked, "Who is Concubine Xia?"

Only then did Liu Hua take the opportunity to look up at Concubine Hua.

The black hair was dotted with exquisite kingfisher feathers, and the most eye-catching thing was the inch-sized phoenix on top of the head.

She was wearing a rose-red dress, the color of which was just like the gorgeous roses in full bloom in spring.

Her face was like a carefully carved jade, delicate and smooth, without a single flaw.

Her eyebrows were like distant ink, and her slightly upturned eyes carried a hint of innate pride and sharpness, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

Seeing Liu Hua staring at her in a trance, Concubine Hua pouted and said, "Xuan Chang, tell me, who is prettier, me or the Queen?"

Liu Hua looked at the queen on the platform presumptuously.

She was wearing a bright yellow Manchu dress, on which was carefully embroidered a pattern of a phoenix spreading its wings as if about to fly.

The queen's inky black hair was neatly combed up, and a pair of gold pearl earrings hung down on both sides of her bun.

Inadvertently, my heart skipped a beat.
