"Sister, look at the hawthorns sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are really delicious."

Liu Hua's eyes fell on the willow wood tray, where the plump, round, and red hawthorn fruits were.

Jiang Zhongmin bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this was specially prepared for you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I heard that you have been unable to sleep well and have a poor appetite recently because of the Fifth Prince's crying.

An Lingrong looked at Jiang Zhongmin and said with praise, "Eunuch Jiang is quite thoughtful. He's only been the head of the Imperial Household Department for a few months. Who in the palace wouldn't praise Eunuch Jiang for his dedication?"

Jiang Zhongmin was originally a eunuch. He looked very righteous, with a strong build and a square face.

His usually serious face was now smiling happily and he nodded repeatedly.

Liu Hua asked Caiju to give him a cup of tea, and then asked Dongli to take some golden melon seeds and send her out.

Liu Hua was already swallowing his saliva as he looked at the fragrant hawthorns.

After An Lingrong wiped the hawthorn clean with a handkerchief, she took the spoon on the table and poked it hard, then handed it to Liu Hua.

When Liu Hua took a bite, it was sweet, with only a hint of sourness left.

An Lingrong saw that Liu Hua was enjoying his meal. She asked with a smile, "We have nothing to do today, why don't we set up a stove, roll some syrup, and make some candied haws?"

I remember my sister brought one when she was at Liu's house, and we shared it."

Liu Hua couldn't help but recall that it was September at that time.

The sycamore tree was still green, and the pomegranates had borne fruit. In order to promote his relationship with An Lingrong, Liu Hua sat under the pomegranate tree together.

Liu Hua picked up the candied haws wrapped in oil paper and fed them to An Lingrong one by one.

An Lingrong stuck out her delicate tongue, and Liu Hua gently rolled it when he placed it near her lips.

A whole sugar-coated hawthorn was swallowed, along with Liu Hua's fingertips.

Liu Hua was frightened by the warmth at his fingertips, and his hand trembled, causing the remaining two to fall to the ground. Liu Hua subconsciously wanted to pick them up.

But the hem of the clothes was too complicated and wide, and his legs were tripped, and he suddenly fell into An Lingrong's arms.

The wind blew, and the sycamore leaves rustled, along with some fiery red pomegranates.

They fell one after another, blurring Liu Hua's eyes, and he ignored the smile on An Lingrong's lips.

An Lingrong stretched out her hand, waved it in front of Liu Hua's eyes, and smiled as she leaned in close, "Why are you distracted while my sister is talking to me? Who are you thinking about?"

Liu Hua looked at An Lingrong's face getting closer and closer, and stepped back a few steps. An Lingrong noticed Liu Hua's intention to retreat.

Sitting up straight, holding her face with one hand, she said nonchalantly, "Sister, are you waiting for the emperor? But the emperor is now with Wanpin, or with Concubine Nian.

I don’t have time to accompany my sister now, it’s just me…”

Liu Hua quickly covered An Lingrong's mouth and pleaded, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. If you want to eat candied haws, we'll make it right away."

"Dongli, hurry up and get ready."

Dongli nodded in agreement and was about to go out. At this moment, the sound of a baby crying came from next door. Liu Hua covered his head and said with a headache: "Dongli, go and see what happened to the Fifth Prince?"

Nanny Yun's voice came from next door, "Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong. Fifth Prince is just hungry. This servant and Nanny Li will take turns feeding him."

Liu Hua looked at Hong Zhou, who was very lively and whose little hands were flying in the sky.

Thinking about it, he is indeed the ruthless person who held his own funeral and came to collect money.

Liu Hua sighed, then changed his mind and instructed Nanny Yun, "The Empress, you have long said that you want to see the Fifth Prince. Now that the wind and snow have stopped, please send him to the Empress carefully."

Liu Hua didn't simply dislike Hong Zhou's noise. The bigger reason was that when she entered the palace, Liu Man once told her that if she wanted to have children in the harem, she should establish a good relationship with the queen.

But if you took the medicine and still got pregnant, it means someone replaced your medicine.

In this harem, the only one who has such influence and has not punished herself is the queen.

In addition, Jiang Fuhai took Qin Yun away at the beginning. Given Yixiu's scheming, it is not impossible that Qin Yun was instigated to rebel and then silenced.

She actually wanted to give birth to the child so much, so why not use this child to become her ally? After all, I had originally supported Yixiu.

Liu Hua entered the palace not to become the empress dowager, but simply to bring some benefits to the family. It was not considered that Liu Man and Lin gave birth to her.

Besides, the Fourth Prince was her adopted son at that time, but it was not accurate to call him an adopted son now.

Because, but I really changed it to Yudie last time.

Even if we check the historical books in later generations, we will find that the Fourth Prince is her biological son.

Liu Hua didn't want to see the image of brothers killing each other. If Hong Zhou really had great ambitions, he should look at the long term and not limit himself to a corner of East Asia.

After all, Liu Hua knew very well that this was the period when the Qing Dynasty was at its peak.

If you go out to sea...

An Lingrong wrapped the boiling hot syrup on the candied haws and looked at Liu Hua who was in a daze.

He gently touched her waist with his crutch and said, "Sister, I've already glued it on, don't you want to eat it?"

Liu Hua opened his mouth subconsciously, but touched something hot and cried out in surprise.

"what!"

An Lingrong was shocked and hurriedly gave Liu Hua a glass of water.

Liu Hua drank the water and met An Lingrong's sad gaze.

An Lingrong said sadly in her heart, "The first time I used a trick, I hurt my sister. Now I can't even make a candied haws. I'm so useless. How can I compare to him who is so heartless?"

Liu Hua was afraid that An Lingrong might be suspicious, so he quickly held her hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's not that hot, actually. It's okay."

An Lingrong remained silent, and Liu Hua grew even more worried. He moved closer, almost touching An Lingrong's face, and whispered softly, "Really? Just watch if you don't believe me."

A burned red tongue appeared in An Lingrong's eyes, and the red circle looked like it had been bitten.

An Lingrong thought silently in her heart: "Sister, you really are..."

【Broken Jade】

Liu Zhu looked at Wen Shichu anxiously, and without even taking off the handkerchief from Zhen Huan's wrist, she hurriedly asked:

"Why is Lord Wen frowning? Is my queen's baby not good? My queen has already lost a child. If..."

Before Liu Zhu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jin Xi, who frowned and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, Lord Wen is here, so nothing will happen."

Wen Shichu nodded gently, his eyes filled with pity as he stared at Zhen Huan and asked, "Your Majesty is in good health. Even after spending so long in the snow, the fetus is still healthy.

I thought the prescription I prepared for the queen was good, but the queen had already been drinking it for two or three months before her first pregnancy.

I used that prescription before and it was a quick-acting medicine, so how come I miscarried so easily? "

Zhen Huan clutched her stomach, reminiscing in her mind. She recalled the bowl of soup Huanbi had brought her that day in Jingren Palace. She thought of Huanbi's timid look whenever she faced her, especially the last time she had asked who was behind her.

"Noble Lady Cao, Concubine Qian."
