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

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Qian. Her Majesty the Concubine Qian, will you mind if I bring Wen Yi with me and disturb you?"

Liu Hua glanced sideways and saw that it was Concubine Cao who came with Princess Wen Yi.

Liu Hua knew very well that with Concubine Cao's clever brain, she would never come to the temple for no reason.

He gave Dongli a silent wink, and she immediately understood and told all the palace maids who were cleaning to leave.

Liu Hua pointed to the soft couch beside him and signaled Dongli to hold Princess Wen Yi.

Concubine Cao lifted her skirt, nodded to Liu Hua, and drank her tea. She said, "Yinxiu, the wooden hydrangeas in Concubine Qian's palace are quite good. Go pick a few for her."

Yinxiu paused, bowed and replied, "Yes, my dear."

Liu Hua secretly admired Concubine Cao's extraordinary brainpower, which even made her personal maidservant on guard against it.

Of course, this Yinxiu was the contestant who would later cause her death.

Concubine Cao looked at Liu Hua with an unnatural expression on her face, but she still explained clearly: "Yinxiu is the maid that the Empress Dowager assigned to me when I entered the palace.

My family background is not good, so I don’t have any personal maids to enter the mansion with me.”

Liu Hua nodded secretly in his heart, and understood why Yinxiu let Concubine Cao enjoy "Da Lang, it's time to take your medicine."

Concubine Cao was always so well-prepared. She drank a cup of tea slowly and said to Liu Hua with a smile, "This is a top-grade Dahongpao, with a rich base and a fragrant aroma."

Liu Hua said sincerely: "Lady Cao, if you want, I still have several boxes.

This palace thinks it is too bitter and not tasty, so I will give it all to you. This palace likes to drink the fruit tea made by An Changzai.

Concubine Cao smiled and used the rattle to tease Princess Wen Yi, saying with a smile:

"Parents always love their children. Parents who truly love their children will also be respected by their children."

Liu Hua agreed and said, "That's true."

Her hands unconsciously stroked her belly. She was very unhappy at first about being pregnant with Yinzhen's child, but in the end she couldn't abort the baby.

All we can do is, as Wuya Chengbi said to Shen Meizhuang, "Look forward."

Shen Meizhuang only used half of this sentence, but Liu Hua did use it.

Concubine Cao changed the subject and said meaningfully, "Daughter Huan is indeed very filial. Last year I saw her burning paper for her deceased mother in the palace."

Liu Hua's mind moved: "Huanbi didn't agree last year, and burning paper is against palace rules.

If it were an ordinary palace maid or eunuch, they would be beaten to death if they were discovered."

Seeing that Liu Hua had understood, Concubine Cao's mind turned and she thought to herself, "Concubine Qian is indeed not just a person who eats, wears clothes and has fun as outsiders think. She is really very wise, otherwise she would have been promoted to a concubine in just two years."

Concubine Cao continued to smile and said, "My Lady Hua, now that I know about this, I wonder what to do?"

"I ask you, why do you love your parents? Of course, your parents are the root of everything. Only by destroying the root can you achieve your goal."

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Cao looked at Princess Wen Yi with pity and worry.

Liu Hua is not a very stupid person, and he has been in this deep palace for two years.

Holding Concubine Cao's hand, she said affectionately, "I have a pair of butterfly-loving hairpins here. These flowers cannot live without butterflies, otherwise they will not bear fruit.

Butterflies cannot live without flowers, otherwise they will starve to death.

Besides, being in pairs is a good omen.”

Liu Hua paused, then held Concubine Cao's hand tighter, and freed his other hand to take her hand, waving it in front of Wen Yi, and said cheerfully:

"I have promised to be Princess Wen Yi's godmother and to add some dowry to her. This will be considered as my dowry this year."

This time, Concubine Cao actually smiled brightly and said quickly, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I like lotus seeds the most.

But now is not the time for lotus seeds to form. When they do, I will personally make a bowl of lotus seed soup for you, Your Majesty."

Liu Hua covered his mouth and chuckled, "What can I do? I can't even get used to Da Hong Pao. I want to drink sweet fruit tea.

The heart of the lotus seed is very bitter, but if it is lost, the flavor will be lost.”

Concubine Cao stared at Princess Wen Yi who was playing with the cloth tiger on the couch, her eyes red.

The twenty-fifth day of the fourth lunar month

Lin did not bring Liu Man today, but brought two young girls instead.

"This is just the Old Summer Palace. The scenery and artifacts are already so beautiful. I wonder how magnificent the imperial palace must be."

Lin gently patted Guaerjia Wenyuan's hand and said softly, "What's the big deal? You'll be selected for the imperial selection next year. If you're lucky, you'll become the emperor's concubine."

Even if you are not that good, with your looks you can be betrothed to one of those Beile as his wife.

Guaerjia Wenyuan's peach-like cheeks flushed even more red as she shyly twisted around Lin and said coquettishly, "Madam Liu is so kind to me. Please wait a moment and introduce me to Concubine Qian."

Guaerjia Wenxiu was not dressed like her younger sister, but was very dignified and elegant.

She gently scolded her sister, "This is also a way to pay attention to your manners in the palace. Don't lose face for Concubine Qian and our Guaerjia clan."

Guaerjia Wenyuan pouted, hummed a few times, and then set her eyes on the Albizia julibrissin tree next to her.

Clusters of Albizia julibrissin flowers, light pink on top and tender yellow below, constantly stir the heartstrings of the young girl who has just entered the palace.

Guaerjia Wenyuan developed a yearning for the beautiful scenery before her and vowed to enter the palace.

The roads in the Old Summer Palace are not wide, and are mostly winding paths, which appear fresh, rather than the usual gold and silver tacky style of the Forbidden City.

It was for people to watch and enjoy, so Lin did not call for three sedan chairs. Instead, she took two maids and the two sisters of the Guwalgiya family directly to the Honglian Water Pavilion where Liu Hua lived.

[Red Lotus Waterside Pavilion]

An Lingrong was embroidering a bellyband with two cute fat tigers on it.

Liu Hua gently touched the auspicious dress for the concubine in front of her. Jiang Zhongmin, the newly appointed chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, told her the name of the dress.

It took Liu Hua a long time to remember that it was a robe made of lake blue satin embroidered with eight auspicious clouds.

Looking at this lake blue dress, Liu Hua inadvertently thought of the light yellow Manchu dress she wore when she first entered the palace to pay her respects to Yixiu.

Liu Hua vaguely remembered that Dongli had collected it, but many of the threads and pearls on the dress had fallen off.

Liu Hua now sighs: "It is true that time cannot be reversed, people cannot be reversed, and objects will also become old."

Xiao Yunzi quickly knelt before Liu Hua and said joyfully, "It's Lady Liu who has brought the two young ladies from the Guarjia family to the palace to see you, Your Majesty."

An Lingrong raised her head and asked seriously, "I've never heard that my sister has other sisters."

Liu Hua was also confused, but still ordered to invite the person in quickly and serve some good fruit tea and cakes.

When Lin opened the glass curtains and walked in happily, a girl in a pink dress hurriedly followed behind her.

Liu Hua was horrified and secretly exclaimed, "Isn't this Guarjia Wenyuan? Commonly known as (2+4), or Gualiu."

Guaerjia Wenyuan's face, which looked like a peeled lychee, came in front of Liu Hua.

Jiaojiao softly and sweetly said, "Your humble servant, Guaerjia Wenyuan, greets Her Majesty Consort Qian. May Her Majesty remain forever young and give birth to a prince soon."

An Lingrong, who was embroidering nearby, placed her work into a box. She looked at Guaerjia Wenyuan with disapproval and said coldly, "Young lady, you are quite ignorant of etiquette. You should bow before the Empress, not just say a casual word."
