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

【Lotus Pavilion】

"Concubine Qian, your belly is getting bigger. Next time, please don't come to pay your respects to me, or you will harm the heir to the throne."

Liu Hua said modestly, "Your Majesty, you are joking. It is my great honor to serve you."

Empress Dowager Wuya Chengbi laughed "hehe", and with her makeup today, she looked like a Bodhisattva who had descended to earth.

She brought another plate of pastries to Liu Hua, and Liu Hua felt that she was more like a Bodhisattva.

"I see you're just here to eat my cakes, otherwise why would you come here so often?"

Liu Hua thought to himself, "Why not just stay in the palace or go out for a walk? If you keep going, you might not even have a grandson."

Liu Hua sighed and said to Wuya Chengbi, "It's really too disturbing outside."

His eyes fell on the rosewood table and chairs, and Liu Hua curiously asked Wuya Chengbi, "Where has Concubine Hui been recently?"

The Queen Mother coughed a few times, and Zhuxi quickly helped her to breathe.

Then he slowly said: "He is a good child. He listened to my advice. He has relaxed recently and went to the emperor to serve as a beautiful lady."

Cai Ping lifted the curtain and said respectfully, "Empress Dowager, Prince Guo is here."

Prince Guo walked in quickly, carrying a flute. He was startled when he saw Liu Hua, then he immediately greeted her and said, "Your son greets the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with great fortune."

She stood up and bowed as usual, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Concubine Qian."

Liu Hua nodded slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at this "brother-in-law."

Wuya Chengbi looked at Prince Guo's attire, especially the sachet around his waist, and asked in confusion, "Where is the sachet your mother, Concubine Shu, embroidered for you?"

Prince Guo quickly found an excuse, "Your Highness, the sachet's gold-inlaid crabapple jade band is broken. I'm looking for someone to make a new one."

Wuya Chengbi said even more puzzledly, "That's not right. I remember that the sachet didn't have this kind of ribbon.

And those are mostly things that girls wear, while men's jade belts are mostly made of pine and bamboo. Could it be that... Seventeen, you are showing mercy?"

Liu Hua, who was sitting next to Wuya Chengbi, swallowed a mouthful of snack and tried his best to control his unspeakable expression.

He thought to himself, "If the Queen Mother knew about the Seventeenth Prince's love for his wife, she would probably get sick from anger."

Prince Guo retorted in a panic, "No, my son did not. Your Majesty, you must be joking."

Wuya Chengbi just smiled and said nothing, then continued to persuade: "You have grown up, and you should choose someone you like. Why not let Concubine Qian help you choose someone for the selection next year?"

Now it was Liu Hua's turn to be surprised. She hurriedly evaded the question: "How could I do such a thing? Aren't there the Empress and Concubine Nian?"

Wuya Chengbi smiled, but her eyes were cold as she stared at Liu Hua and said, "Nian, you haven't been given the title of Imperial Concubine yet, so don't call me Imperial Concubine."

He turned the Buddhist beads and flipped through a few chapters of the Heart Sutra.

As if unconsciously murmuring, "A woman who threatens the royal rule will not have a good end."

While the Queen Mother was reading the Heart Sutra, Prince Guo found a chair and sat down casually.

Taking out a handkerchief and carefully inserting it into the flute, Liu Hua felt a little embarrassed to eat cakes alone.

So he asked with a flattering face, "What song is your best at playing, Your Highness? The Fourth Prince also got a flute recently."

Prince Guo's smile is like the breeze and bright moon, warming people's hearts.

Liu Hua thought to himself, "It's no wonder that so many women like him, including Huanbi, Meng Jingxian, Zhen Huan, and Ye Lanyi.

He is indeed handsome and good at capturing the hearts of beautiful women."

Every time Liu Hua saw Prince Guo, Wen Shichu would unconsciously appear in his mind.

After chatting with Prince Guo for a few words, he said goodbye.

Liu Hua was pregnant, so she walked very carefully and slowly.

Dongli and Caiju were serving him, and he could smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

I wanted to get closer, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Prince Guo, why did you invite me here today? What do you want to do?"

Caiju curled her lips and said unhappily, "My Lady, that's Huan Da Ying's voice."

Liu Hua did not have Yinzhen's bad habit of eavesdropping, and it would be easy for him to be discovered at this distance.

To avoid embarrassment, Liu Hua gestured to the two men to help him leave.

But I didn't expect the weather to be bad.

Zhen Huan, Liu Zhu and Xiao Yunzi, the master and servant, hurried over and brought Liu Hua and Zhen Huan face to face.

Zhen Huan put a finger in front of her lips, signaling Liu Hua to be quiet.

Pulling aside the branches of the laurel tree, Liu Hua and Zhen Huan also heard the expected sound.

"Your Majesty, you clearly gave me that sachet, so why do you want to take it back today?"

"Huan promised, my mother, Concubine Shu, embroidered it for me stitch by stitch before she became a nun. I've been wearing it for two or three years. Please return it to me."

Prince Guo paced back and forth under the osmanthus tree, his steps becoming increasingly disordered.

Finally, grabbing the braid at the back, he frowned and said, "Huan promised, if you can give me this sachet, Xiao Wang is willing to pay a great price."

Huanbi took a few steps closer and said, "Then I would like to invite His Majesty to have another cup of tea with me."

Prince Guo immediately waved his hand to refuse, and said sternly: "You are the emperor's concubine, and I am a prince.

It is already extremely inappropriate for two of us, a single man and a single woman, to be in the same place, and you still…"

Zhen Huan asked Xiao Yunzi to clear a path through the osmanthus trees.

The noise disturbed Prince Guo and Huanbi who were talking.

When they looked back, they saw not only Zhen Huan, but also Liu Hua and his gang.

Prince Guo quickly begged for mercy, "My Lady Qianfei and My Lady Wanpin, I know that we have always had a good relationship.

This must be a misunderstanding. Besides, you all heard it. Huan and I agreed. It’s really nothing.

Especially Concubine Wan, Huan promised to be yours..."

Zhen Huan stared at Huanbi who was trying to escape and said coldly: "She is my sister, I still remember her."

He added, "I don't know, does Huan Ying still know that I'm your sister?"

Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan and said, "But you are my eldest sister, and I clearly asked you to write a letter to father.

I wanted to carry my mother's tablet into the ancestral hall, but why didn't you do that?"

Zhen Huan stepped closer and demanded, "How do you know I didn't do it? Where did you get the information?"

Huanbi didn't want to lose to Zhen Huan in terms of momentum, so she took a step closer and said, "Don't bother with that, elder sister."

Prince Guo looked at the angry Zhen Huan and said quickly, "You are still pregnant, it is not appropriate to get angry. You should go back quickly. The weather has turned cold."

Liu Hua noticed that Huanbi's eyes were about to spit fire, and he guessed that the grudge between Zhen Huan and Huanbi could no longer be eliminated.

Things were far from over. Wei Lin's voice came again, "Empress Qian, why are you here?"

"Hey? Concubine Wan and Concubine Huan are here too."

Zhen Huan looked back and found it on the bluestone slab in the middle of the apricot tree.

Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu walked side by side.
