There were many things in Xianfu Palace that attracted the young Yonghuang, and he was a little hesitant.

After all, although Concubine Xian is good, it is still unclear whether she is willing to be his adoptive mother. Right now, only Concubine Hui is eager to take over.

"Father, I want to think about it..."

Hongli lowered his eyes and looked at his eldest son carefully, which was rare.

As a contestant who had a hard time climbing out of the Old Summer Palace, Yonghuang's little tricks seemed too naive to Hongli. It is human nature to have double standards. There are some things that you do yourself but you will not like others do them.

Hongli was not very happy with Yonghuang's behavior of looking for a better job while still having one.

Although Concubine Hui is not very smart, she still cares about this child very much. Could it be that someone is secretly extending an olive branch to Yonghuang?

If it were an inference that someone had secretly had some inappropriate thoughts and led his eldest son astray, Hongli would be more receptive to this inference.

The father and son, who felt very good about themselves, were both full of little ideas, but unfortunately, there was no one else to support them except Gao Xiyue.

Just when Yonghuang was in the so-called consideration period, a new storm broke out in the harem.

"Have you heard? Wang Qin in front of the emperor wants to get married!"

"Ah?! Is it true?"

"How could it be fake? The Queen has already started selecting candidates and is planning to grant him a marriage!"

"What?? It was the Queen herself who arranged the marriage?"

"I seem to have heard someone say before that Wang Qin seems to be interested in the maids in Changchun Palace."

"Then I think I have a rough idea of ​​who the marriage proposal is..."

"I also……"

The explosive news that the Queen Mother was going to personally arrange a marriage for Wang Qin quickly spread throughout the harem, and everyone was discussing it.

When the rumor reached Fucha Langya's ears again, the rumor had become "The Queen Mother admired Wang Qin who had been serving the Emperor since his residence, and after careful consideration decided to give her dowry Su Lian to him."

Fu Cha Langya was reluctant to let Su Lian marry an old and ugly eunuch like Wang Qin, but the rumors were true, saying that Wang Qin and Su Lian had equal status with the emperor and empress, and that the empress must be the candidate chosen after careful consideration.

These words were blocked, and Fu Cha Langya couldn't do anything to slap Su Lian in the face, so she had to let Su Lian down.

"My Lady, I have been with you for many years, and I cannot bear to leave you!"

Of course Su Lian didn't want to do that. It would be better for her to die than to marry an old man like Wang Qin.

She was seen kneeling in front of Fucha Langya, begging with tears in her eyes, and every word she said expressed her unwillingness.

"Good Su Lian, women will eventually get married. Isn't Wang Qin's condition better than many men outside the palace?"

"I know you don't want to leave this place. After you marry Wang Qin, you can still go back to Changchun Palace to work during the day. It's not like you won't see me anymore."

Su Lian looked at the master she had served for many years with tears in her eyes. She had always been gentle and would never scold her servants harshly, but her words were like gentle knives, each one drawing blood and leaving people unable to move.

"Master, I..."

Su Lian wanted to say something, but Fu Cha Langya was obviously a little impatient.

It was Su Lian who originally suggested that Lian Xin could marry Wang Qin, so that her connection with the Imperial Court would be closer. She was only forced by the rumors to change the candidate to herself, but she didn't expect Su Lian to be so reluctant and completely lost her previous words of loyalty.

"Your Majesty, Sister Su Lian is probably just too excited and overjoyed to know what to do. She's going to be a bride in a few days, so it's normal for her to be nervous."

Lianxin, who has always been taciturn, suddenly spoke to break the awkward atmosphere. She seemed to be finding an excuse for Su Lian in a soft voice, but it was Fu Cha Langya's expression that was obviously eased.

"Lianxin is right. I was careless for a moment and ignored your feelings as a bride. I will give you a few days off so that you can prepare well."

"Don't worry about the wedding dress. I will send someone to prepare it urgently. I will also send a message to the Fucha family. Your mother will be happy for you when she hears the news."

Su Lian was still kneeling there, but when she saw the queen's expression, she felt as if she was pricked by a needle and completely lost her strength.

"This servant bows to thank the queen."

Su Lian kowtowed slowly, tears dripping onto the ground as she did so. They were instantly absorbed by the gorgeous carpet, leaving no trace in an instant.

……

Later in the evening, Lianxin carefully checked to see if anyone was paying attention to her, and walked all the way to a secluded corner of the imperial garden.

Jinbao, who was guarding behind the rockery, was originally leaning against a place. When he saw Lianxin, he immediately signaled Jinzhong to go out and keep watch for him.

Jinzhong walked out muttering to himself, and Lianxin, who passed him by and walked in, knelt down directly when facing Jinbao.

Jinbao was so frightened that he staggered.

"Sister, you are shortening my life like this!"

Jinbao tried to pull Lianxin up, but the silly girl didn't know where she got the strength from, and she knocked her head awkwardly. Jinbao was so scared that he jumped up and rolled behind her.

Jinzhong, who was on the lookout, fell silent upon seeing this.

What is this doing?

Goat jumping?

"If it weren't for Eunuch Jinbao helping me, I wouldn't know what would have happened... I'm afraid I'm the most desperate person right now."

Lianxin couldn't help crying. She was very glad that she didn't refuse Jinbao when he came to see her that day, otherwise she couldn't imagine how desperate her life would be in the future.

"Please stop crying and wipe your tears."

Lianxin had just reached out to take the handkerchief Jinbao handed her when she heard him add, "You're crying so pitifully, so I'll give it to you for free."

Tears were still hanging on her chin, about to fall, but Lianxin inexplicably felt like laughing.

Seeing that her emotions had stabilized a lot, Jinbao stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm facing upwards.

"We agreed on the final payment, and even if you cry, you can't get a discount."

As Lianxin handed over the purse, she saw Jinbao quickly pour out the silver and return the purse to Lianxin.

"If you need our help again in the future, use the most ordinary purses to hold your money. I don't know if these fancy ones are most likely to cause problems."

Jinbao kept stuffing silver into his arms, and looked at Lianxin with a complicated expression, afraid that he had said too harshly, but also afraid that he was too gentle.

Lianxin looked up at Jinbao, pursed her lips several times, and suddenly her face turned red.

Jinbao:?

"Eunuch Jinbao..."

Jinbao:? ?

"Nice to have you."

Jinbao:???
