Liu Hua finally drank the whole bowl of tonic, but a bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue, and he wanted to vomit.

Unfortunately, this was a special order from Yinzhen and Wuya Chengbi. It was a gift, and Liu Hua had to drink it.

This is the only way to replenish the body's vitality and better expand the royal family.

It’s a pity that Liu Hua was too unreasonable and asked Wei Lin for three taels of saffron.

Cao Qinmo was very careful and knew it was time to end it.

She politely said to Dongli, "Aunt, please take Ying'er out. She has been standing here for a long time, and the blood is making the queen irritable."

Liu Hua regained consciousness and personally instructed: "Caiju, bring her some silver, small change, for her to use frequently. Also, some good medicine."

When Ying'er saw clearly that Caiju opened her purse, she saw a bag of change and immediately knelt on the ground to express her gratitude.

Liu Hua waved his hand to stop him, and Xiao Yunzi took Liu Hua's instructions and immediately took Yin'er out.

Cao Qinmo frowned in distress and muttered to himself, "What should I do? Although Yue Axing did it, no one has verified it. It's hard to find evidence against him."

A figure appeared in Liu Hua's mind, and he whispered to Cai Ju beside him, "Go and have a look in seclusion. Is there anyone named Niuhulu Neqin among the guard leaders?"

Cao Qinmo covered her mouth with a crabapple-flowered handkerchief and smiled softly, "It turns out that Concubine Qian is the one who has the solution. I could only perform poorly just now."

Liu Hua also knew that Cao Qinmo would not do anything without benefits, and if he didn't give her some benefits today, she would probably be "disappointed".

He opened the rosewood cabinet and took out a booklet.

Qingluan, wearing the pearl armor, pointed at the title written on the book and asked gently, "I wonder how Concubine Xiang would like to decorate the main hall of Qixiang Palace?"

Cao Qinmo bowed her head slightly, teasing Princess Wen Yi, and said, "I want to arrange a suitable living room for the princess, so that she can live better before she gets married."

Liu Hua nodded in agreement. Cao Qinmo's eyes darkened and she babbled on, seemingly unintentionally, "Princess Chaogui is very different now. I heard that it only took Nian Gengyao two short months to pacify Junggar.

Now, Junggar is under the jurisdiction of Princess Chaogui, the Grand Princess."

Liu Hua inadvertently revealed a satisfied smile, which was accurately captured by Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo looked at Princess Wen Yi who was playing with the jade disc and flower hairpin in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

She said happily in her heart, "Princess Chaogui and Concubine Qian have no connection, and she has never done anything good for Concubine Qian, but Concubine Qian has always helped her.

Now that I have voted for Concubine Qian, my Wen Yi has a better chance of having a good future."

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Hua did not want to keep Cao Qinmo any longer. He gave her a few instructions, such as telling her to be careful with her steps when it got dark, and then asked Dongli to ask the mother and daughter to leave.

Now only Liu Bi and An Lingrong were left in the warm room. An Lingrong casually asked, "In three days, Concubine Cao will be promoted to Concubine Xiang, but she will still live in Qixiang Palace. If Concubine Arong is promoted to Concubine in the future, can she still live in Yonghe Palace with her sister?"

Liu Hua asked doubtfully, "If you were promoted to a concubine, you would be in charge of one palace. Why would you live with me in Yonghe Palace? You must have moved to another palace."

An Lingrong was embroidering little tiger eyes, and she suddenly stopped after hearing Liu Hua's words.

A drop of blood fell into the tiger's eyes, like the finishing touch.

But An Lingrong just secretly covered it with her other hand to prevent Liu Hua from seeing it.

There was none of the fragility and tenderness of that day.

After smiling gently at Liu Hua, he lowered his head, showing no dissatisfaction.

On February , the dragon looked up.

Liu Hua was still sitting in the first position on the right, wearing a lake green auspicious dress.

Yixiu comforted and warned Cao Qinmo and others, and the ceremony was completed.

Cao Qinmo looked at the golden seal in Yinxiu's hand and smiled complacently.

Liu Hua asked softly, "Lady Hui should be well now. Is the Chengqian Palace I arranged for you all right?"

Shen Meizhuang naturally did not offend Liu Hua. She smiled gracefully, her eyes like stars, and thanked him softly.

Zhen Huan asked Liu Hua in a questioning tone, "What Concubine Qian has done is naturally good, but there is one thing I don't understand.

Why did the funeral procession for Consort Dunsu stop at Jingshan instead of Yuhua Pavilion?

The concubines' eyes swept over Liu Hua, who explained calmly, "A ritual is being performed in the Baohua Hall. I heard that the Queen Mother is offering a jade disk.

The Queen Mother is so thoughtful, the master told me that the body must not be allowed to collide.

Yixiu's face turned serious at this moment, and he asked anxiously, "How did you find out?"

Liu Hua answered truthfully, "It was I who wanted to hold the funeral in Yuhua Pavilion. It was the Empress Dowager who specifically reminded me of this."

Yixiu said it was no wonder, but she couldn't help thinking about Yinzhen's visit to Longkodo's house a few days ago.

Noble Lady Fucha was given the title of Concubine Chun, and she seemed to have gained confidence, not caring at all about Yunchao's expression beside her.

She kept insisting, "Why didn't Concubine Qian tell the Empress?"

Liu Hua looked at Shangshou Yixiu and apologized, then explained: "My Lady, we were busy with the spring plowing ceremony at that time.

These minor matters need not be reported, and the Queen Mother has repeatedly ordered that no particular information be disclosed."

Zhen Huan's hand holding the teacup shrank slightly, and she recalled the day when she wanted to get in touch with Fang Ruo, but was rejected.

Sister Mei had no choice but to use her father's connections to sneak into Yikun Palace under the protection of her father's disciples.

Zhen Huan still remembered that the chief guard had clearly discovered the three of them and even questioned them, but he just let them go easily.

Afterwards, he asked Doctor Wen to inquire in the outer court and found out that the guard Tianling was actually Longkodo's eldest son Yue Axing.

"Could it be the imperial concubine?"

Zhen Huan and Yi Xiu were both shocked in their hearts, and then they looked thoughtful.

[Tong Mansion] Three days ago.

Shehli was directing the servants in an orderly manner to clean up her daughter's clothes and jewelry for entering the palace.

Meanwhile, in the East Courtyard, Li Si'er irritably clutched her stomach and scolded her maid, "Why is the mansion so noisy so early in the morning?"

Qing Li looked at her aunt, afraid of offending her, and answered cautiously, "I heard that our princess is going to enter the palace to become a concubine?"

Li Si'er frowned and exclaimed, "Princess!"

Then he threw the bowl of An Tang medicine at Qing Li's feet and said bitterly: "Being a concubine, so what? The master doesn't like her, that's all."

Li Si'er looked at the nervous Qing Li, helped her up, and said softly, "Qing Li, can you tell me where this news came from?"

Qing Li didn't hide anything and told the truth, "Is there any need to ask? The eldest lady heard it.

The eldest lady has already given rewards to the maids and guards in the mansion, so there is no mistake."

Qing Li also added: "I heard that the Empress Dowager is very fond of our princess. After the Emperor left, the jade disk was taken away by Aunt Zhuxi, who is by the Empress Dowager's side."

After hearing Qing Li's words, Li Si'er ate a candied fruit on the table with confidence. A sweet feeling rose in his heart, and a determined smile appeared on his face.
