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

"Changzai An, please calm down. My sister didn't mean it."

Guaerjia Wenxiu immediately pulled Gualiu to her knees and quickly apologized.

Liu Hua looked at Lin with a puzzled look on his face. Lin said to Liu Hua with a smile as beautiful as a flower: "This is the new sister-in-law your brother is going to marry."

Liu Hua looked at Gua Liu in panic, feeling silent grief for his brother.

Lin noticed Liu Hua's gaze and quickly said, "Oh, no, this is your sister-in-law's cousin."

Guaerjia Wenxiu felt a little embarrassed and said, "I participated in the selection with Your Majesty two years ago. I was two years younger than you, but unfortunately I was not chosen due to my bad luck."

Liu Hua was slightly startled, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

His brows gradually relaxed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he nodded slightly.

Then he said to Gualiu, "You haven't participated in the draft yet, right?"

Gua Liu smiled cheerfully, seemingly without any ulterior motives, and said, "Yes, my father told me to bring honor to the family."

Gua Liu looked at Liu Hua with reverence and said, "Just like Concubine Qian."

After saying this, her face, which looked like a pink crystal shrimp peeled from its shell, lowered again, and she looked at An Lingrong beside her with anger.

Liu Hua now just wants to hold her head and laugh. She never thought that one day she would be praised by Gualiu.

Liu Hua recalled Gua Liu in the play, who clearly wanted to win the glory of his family, but then stood on the wrong side.

She couldn't help but frown at the situation that would bring disaster to the family. After all, her brother was going to marry her sister.

Liu Hua said tentatively: "When you are selected, you must ask me to appoint a Beizi as your legitimate wife."

Gua Liu wanted to say more, but Guaerjia Wenxiu next to her stopped her somewhat silly cousin in time.

Then she looked at Liu Hua and knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I, Guaerjia, will never let you down."

Lin, who was standing next to them, saw the two of them kowtow.

He sat on the mahogany chair that Dongli brought up, so as not to stand right in the center of Liu Hua.

She didn't help them up, but just watched them kowtow three times together.

Then he exchanged a glance with Liu Hua, thinking to himself, "I am bringing my new daughter-in-law into the palace for her sake.

If she is chosen as a concubine, standing on my daughter's side will be an additional help.

But if we give them a good place to live, the Guarjia clan will definitely not say anything."

Lin looked at her daughter with a worried look on her face. Although her face was flushed, there was always something hidden in her eyes.

In the Heart Palace, he sighed and said, "How could the daughter who fell from my body hide her worries from her mother?"

Dongli promptly asked Xiao Yunzi to send two palace maids to bring up footstools and asked the two sisters of the Guaerjia clan to sit down.

An Lingrong next to her started embroidering again, but she was just sorting out the silk threads.

He arranges the threads one by one with great patience, but his eyes are never on the threads.

Caiju happily served many sweet candied fruits and said, "Tomorrow is the day when the queen will be crowned as a concubine, so she must have something sweet.

Just now, Xiao Xiazi, who is beside Eunuch Su Peisheng, came to pass on a message, saying that the Madam and the two young ladies can stay in the palace until tomorrow when Her Majesty will confer the title of Consort."

Liu Hua felt a warm current in his heart after hearing this. Seeing that Lin wanted to act like a spoiled child, but considering An Lingrong, he said in a serious tone, "My daughter wants to sleep with her mother."

Lin was particularly indulgent towards Liu Hua since he was young, because Liu Hua was a child she had risked her life to give birth to.

Lin married Liu Man at the age of seventeen and became pregnant with a son at the age of eighteen, but fell ill after giving birth.

It was not until he was 32 years old that he had a daughter, Liu Hua.

Lin looked at Liu Hua, her daughter who looked serious but spoke like a child.

She said with a smile: "You are already so old and will soon become a mother, but you still want to sleep with me. Aren't you ashamed?"

After saying this, he gently scratched his face with his fingers, making the same gesture of embarrassment as when he teased Liu Hua when he was a child and couldn't even finish half a bowl of rice.

An Lingrong, who was standing beside him, was unusually talkative. "Madam, you're joking. A daughter is still a daughter when her mother is around. I won't disturb you and Madam from reminiscing about the past. I've already made some new peach blossom wine in my room. I'll bring it in for Madam later."

Lin stood up, shook An Lingrong's hand, and said, "I've heard my little girl Hua mention An Changzai a long time ago. In her letters, she always remembered An Changzai's kindness.

You and my daughter have been living together in this palace, and I like you very much. Why don't you recognize me as your godmother today?

I am old now, and I have become thick-skinned for once."

An Lingrong felt bitter in her heart. Since ancient times, no husband or wife would call their father-in-law or mother-in-law "godmother".

But this is an impossible relationship after all, and it would be good to have a closer relationship with my sister.

An Lingrong immediately took off the jade bracelet in her hand, put it on Lin's arm and said, "This is my gift to my godmother. I hope you don't mind. Lingrong meets my godmother!"

Lin quickly pulled it off and said in a reproachful tone, "Alas, since ancient times, no daughter has ever given a congratulatory gift to her mother. I, a humble servant, don't have anything good to offer either."

Lin quickly pulled out a hairpin from her head and inserted it into An Lingrong's bun without giving her any chance to refuse.

"This is a golden cicada woven with gold filigree, lying on a green leaf. Is this a gift for my newly adopted daughter?"

Guarjia Wenxiu, who was sitting in a row, quietly sipping her tea, chimed in, "Mother is really partial. I don't have anything."

Lin approached and nodded her head, then said angrily, "You have nothing yet, but I gave you a longevity lock the first time I saw you. I hope you are healthy and successful, and I treat you like a child."

Guaerjia Wenxiu snorted, a little bit proud.

【Jiuzhou Qingyan】

Yinzhen took into consideration that Liu Hua was less than four months pregnant.

They were afraid that the fetus was unstable and it was not appropriate to confer the title in the Forbidden City, but in order to bring good luck to her, they wanted to add some so-called blessings to this baby.

So he simplified the process and chose Jiuzhou Qingyan where he handled government affairs.

It cannot be said that it is against the rules. After all, Jiuzhou Qingyan is not a main hall like the Qianqing Palace.

Yinzhen looked at Liu Hua, who was wearing a light blue auspicious dress, bowing to him, and hurriedly helped her up. His eyes fell on a jade lotus hairpin on her bun.

"This hairpin looks familiar to me."

Liu Hua replied respectfully, "It was given by the Empress Dowager. She said it was originally worn by Empress Xiaoyiren, Tong Jia."

Yinzhen nodded and looked at Liu Hua with a thoughtful expression.

Looking at this lily hairpin, I recalled the rare happy times of my childhood.

For the first time, he took the initiative to ask, "How is Fourth Prince's schoolwork?"

What Liu Hua agreed to was naturally the best that could be.

After Liu Hua simply paid her respects to Yinzhen and the queen, and accepted the congratulations of the concubines, she personally went to see her mother and the two sisters of the Guwalgiya clan out of the garden.

Hua Fei, sitting in the sedan chair, looked at Liu Hua and asked Song Zhi, "Didn't Qian Fei just get promoted? Why is she leaving now? She looks so anxious, she hasn't even changed her Ji Fu."

Zhou Ninghai beside him said respectfully, "I heard it was Concubine Qian's mother, and she came with two young ladies. Concubine Qian slept in her mother's arms yesterday, and I don't know how many people in the harem envied her."

With tears in her eyes, Concubine Hua thought of her mother who had taught her horse riding and archery, but unfortunately she had passed away.

Hua Fei patted her heart and said with some discomfort but also some comfort: "Fortunately, I still have my brother."

Looking at the two sisters Gua Liu, Concubine Hua said complacently, "My sister Shi Shao is so much prettier than them both."

Zhou Ninghai quickly explained, "Your Majesty, one of those two is Concubine Qian's sister-in-law, and the one in pink is Concubine Qian's sister-in-law's younger sister, not Concubine Qian's biological sister."

Concubine Hua curled her lips and said proudly, "I can see that too. She doesn't look like Concubine Qian either. She can't compare to me and Shi Shao."

Just as Hua Fei and Song Zhi were recalling how heroic Nian Shishao was and how good he was at riding a horse.

Huanbi, dressed in green clothes, walked up to Concubine Hua.
