The special spiritual fragrance from An Lingrong wafted over, and Liu Hua's vision became a little blurred.

It is September now and the weather has turned cooler. Liu Hua feels a sense of heat rising.

An Lingrong's face was very red, not Fang Chunyi's girlish pink.

Instead, as his affection grew, Liu Hua became obsessed and leaned forward with his neck.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Fang Chunyi let out a "Huh" and An Lingrong suddenly stepped back.

He staggered out, opening the glass door curtain, leaving behind only Fang Chunyi's exclamation.

"Sister Qianfei, what happened to Concubine An?"

Liu Hua coughed and said to divert attention: "Hurry up and eat the cakes. This is the new water chestnut cake."

【Bitong Academy】

The guards around were patrolling seriously, their swords half drawn.

Liuzhu was about to go in with a bowl of lotus seed and longan soup when Huanbi tapped her shoulder.

Liu Zhu looked back and said in surprise: "Huan promised, why haven't you left yet?"

Huanbi first held Liuzhu's wrist, then slowly took the bowl of soup in her own hand.

Then he looked at Liu Zhu sincerely and said, "Your Majesty, you are my sister after all. Besides, I have made mistakes before, so let me go in and apologize to Your Majesty."

Ever since Zhen Huan was imprisoned at noon today, the atmosphere in the Old Summer Palace has changed dramatically.

Jiang Zhongmin from the Imperial Household Department stayed in the Forbidden City and did not come to manage it.

In the Old Summer Palace, all the belongings of the concubines were transferred by the original eunuchs of the Old Summer Palace.

At this time, Zhen Huan had fallen out of favor and was imprisoned. Even though she was pregnant, the eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace still treated her differently.

Zhen Huan's pregnancy-maintaining medicine was fully supplied, but the others were also included in the monthly allowance.

As for the special tribute items that Yinzhen had given to Zhen Huan before, they naturally stopped doing so.

Zhen Huan was holding a copy of "Zuo Zhuan" and flipping through it carefully.

When she looked up, she saw Huanbi, not Liuzhu, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Bitong Academy closed? Why are you still here?"

Huanbi wiped her tears with her sleeves, looked around, and found that there were no young eunuchs or the like.

Then she lifted up the bottom of her cheongsam, revealing her red knees.

While Huanbi was lifting the lid, she also placed the bowl of soup in front of Zhen Huan, who looked at it in shock.

Then he knelt down and said carefully, "Sister, I know I was wrong."

Zhen Huan stared at Huanbi for a long time, then helped her up, sighed, and said, "It's true. We are sisters whose blood is thicker than water. We are different from the sisters in the palace after all."

Huanbi smiled and thought to herself, "After all, my elder sister looks like Queen Chunyuan, so how could she really fall out of favor?

Besides…"

Huanbi raised her eyes to look at Zhen Huan's belly and added in her mind, "She is also pregnant with the heir of the dragon."

Zhen Huan was so moved that she couldn't control herself. After all, the blow that Yinzhen dealt to her was too great.

When she was crowned as a concubine, she stripped off her clothes in public.

Then he was carried back to Bitong Academy in a sedan chair and then imprisoned.

When Zhen Huan was riding in the sedan chair back, she could hear the whispers coming and going in the eunuchs' palace.

What lingers in my mind is Yinzhen’s angry expression, Yixiu’s “kind” smile and Nian Shilan’s resentful eyes.

He came back to his senses and looked at his sister in front of him, hugging her tightly.

"Huanbi, who did you ask for help again?"

Huanbi wiped her tears and soothed her, "I went to ask the Queen Mother for permission. Because of my low rank, the Queen Mother was reluctant to see me.

So I kowtowed to her for a long time, and finally the Queen Mother was merciful and relented, allowing me to return."

“Ah. Ah…”

Zhen Huan clutched her stomach in pain. Huan Bi said anxiously, "Sister, are you okay? I'll go find Doctor Wen right away."

【Taohuawu】

"Ugh."

"Is there something troubling the Emperor? Why are you sighing?"

Concubine Qi spoke to Yinzhen with great concern, and Noble Lady Fucha next to her also made her presence felt.

He glanced at Liu Hua and deliberately asked, "Your Majesty, is you worried because Prince Dun has a son?

In fact, I think it would be good for Concubine Qian to give birth to a princess or a prince.

Princess, you are also very cute, right? Concubine Qian.

Liu Hua almost rolled his eyes in front of Yinzhen, trying his best to restrain his speechless mood.

She thought to herself, "Thanks to your good words, even if I give birth to a prince, I will not make him a noble concubine.

But then again, if I really became a concubine, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep no matter how much Lingxi incense I burn in the middle of the night.

As soon as he thought of An Lingrong, Liu Hua secretly glanced at An Lingrong's position and found that she was not there today.

My mind couldn't help but recall that night, when the words from her mouth...

Liu Hua tried hard to clear his mind of the thoughts, but Yinzhen, who was sitting at the head of the group, noticed and asked anxiously, "Is Concubine Qian feeling unwell? There really is something wrong with summoning everyone here today."

Liu Huaweng said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am fine. I just remembered the cakes I ate last night and I don't know if they are spoiled."

Yinzhen said with amusement: "The weather is getting cooler now. How could cakes go bad easily after just one night?"

Liu Hua retorted in his heart: "That's not necessarily true, it will get worse..."

I inadvertently recalled the time when An Lingrong came back in the middle of the night, and the intoxicating feeling of her fragrant and round arms wrapping around me.

"What a pity!" Liu Hua looked at his stomach hatefully.

Then he looked at Yinzhen hatefully, and Yinzhen thought that it was Fucha Guiren's words that made Liu Hua angry.

Looking at Noble Lady Fucha, he retorted, "Whether it's a prince or a princess, I like it."

Yixiu, who was standing next to him, promptly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I think so too. As long as there is someone who can expand the harem, that would be great."

Yinzhen began to stroke his jade Buddhist beads again, making a crisp sound.

"I came to the harem today because I just received a note from Junggar asking for my respects during breakfast.

He said he wanted to marry a princess of the Qing dynasty. That is why I am troubled by this.”

Noble Lady Fucha said nonchalantly, “Zhungar is asking for a princess this time, but he didn’t say which princess it was.

If I were to ask you, just pick a girl from the royal family and send her over."

Yinzhen frowned and said irritably, "I'm not stupid. If it were that simple, I wouldn't have told you. What they want is a legitimate princess."

Perhaps Yixiu couldn't bear to see Yinzhen worrying too much, or perhaps she wanted to highlight his talents as the Empress Dowager.

After all, in Yixiu's heart, her target has always been Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

A woman from the Borjigit clan who raised Emperor Kangxi like an eagle.

The prerequisite for this is to become the queen mother, and to become the queen mother, the first thing to do is to get rid of Nian Shilan.

"Nian Gengyao..."

Yixiu sneered in her heart, then said to Yinzhen in a gentle voice: "If you say she is a legitimate princess, the emperor's daughter is still young now."

As soon as Yixiu finished speaking, Liu Hua looked at Concubine Cao nervously.

There was a pleading look in Concubine Cao's eyes, and Concubine Xin next to her had the same look.

Yinzhen, who was at the head of the group, said dissatisfiedly, "If I really had a daughter of prime age, I wouldn't worry about this. It's a pity that Wen Yi is so young."

When Yinzhen mentioned Wen Yi, Liu Hua noticed that Concubine Cao became obviously nervous and her whole body trembled.

Yixiu smiled gently at Concubine Cao, as if expressing her kindness.

She looked at Yinzhen and said, "Princess Wenyi is still young. In my opinion, isn't the late emperor's youngest princess, Princess Chaogui, a true princess of the royal family?"

Yinzhen sighed and said, "Princess Chaogui's biological mother was only a noble lady during the late emperor's time; she was not a legitimate child.

And she is my sister after all."

Liu Hua sneered in his heart. Doesn't Liu Hua know who Yinzhen is?

He felt that if he let his youngest sister marry an old man in his 60s, she would be criticized by others, so he asked Yixiu to make the decision for him.

Then, she was reluctantly given the title of Princess Gulun, turning her from the daughter of a concubine into the daughter of the queen.

While Liu Hua was thinking, Yinzhen, who was in the lead, had already made his decision and added at the end: "It would be truly honorable and noble to let her marry the Khan of Junggar as the legitimate princess of the late emperor."
