Warm my heart

The emperor's expression was as calm as water, without a trace of emotion. He slowly said, "It's just that their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar."

The Queen beside her nodded slightly in agreement: "Even if there is only a slight resemblance, it is truly rare."

In the eyes of everyone in this world, they all believed that the emperor was deeply in love with Chun Yuan and was completely devoted to her.

However, only the emperor himself knew clearly in his heart that he did not truly love Chun Yuan.

It's just that I have been pretending to be affectionate for a long time, and it has become a habit over time.

Sometimes, even he himself was almost deceived by this disguise.

At this time, the Queen opened her mouth again and asked, "Forgive me for being so presumptuous, but I wonder what rank the Emperor intends to bestow upon Zhen?"

The emperor thought to himself that he really wanted to reply to her, "Why did you ask such a question when you knew you were being nosy?"

But he finally restrained himself and thought it would be better to just brush it off first and then say: "Just make him a noble."

When the queen heard this, her heart sank suddenly, and she thought to herself: It seems that the emperor still hasn't forgotten my sister.

But she didn't show any displeasure on the surface.

Instead, he smiled and replied, "Noble lady? That's very good. Then I will grant you the title of Noble Lady as the Emperor wishes."

Then he changed the subject and continued, "Let's not talk about the fact that the Fu Cha family, who came from the Manchu military flag, has already been awarded the title of noble lady.

There is also the Borjigit family from the Mongolian military flag, who is also a noble person.

There happen to be two noble ladies among the beautiful women of the Han army.”

This is the emperor's two nobles, the Manchu and the Mongolian.

There are two noble men among these Han people.

The emperor casually asked, "What's the other one?"

The Queen immediately replied: "Noble Lady Shen, the daughter of Shen Zishan.

Shen Zishan's official position is higher than Zhen Yuandao's."

This is a reminder to the emperor that he cannot eliminate her.

Then the Queen added: "Although the Emperor values ​​the Han army flag, marriage between Manchus and Mongols is an old custom."

"There are two nobles in the Han army flag. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to do this?"

When he came out, he had no intention of giving Zhen a noble lady.

I just want to see the queen get humiliated.

So he said, "Then let Zhen be a sixth-rank concubine. As a Han army flag, her position in the palace should not be too high."

The Queen then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please understand."

The queen just felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "Although she is a concubine, I still want to give her a title."

The queen was afraid that the emperor would give her a particularly precious title.

He immediately said, "Then let the Ministry of Internal Affairs come up with a title."

How could the emperor do as she wished? "No need, I've already thought about it. You come..."

The queen stepped forward upon hearing this.

The emperor took the queen's hand and wrote the character "Wan".

Empress: "Wan? I remember there was a line in the Tang Dynasty spring poetry: 'Wan and yellow willow branches, misty and mixed flowers hanging down.'"

The emperor seemed not to be afraid of not being able to provoke the empress.

"I think Zhen's smile is very beautiful." He said with a knowing smile.

The way he smiled, it seemed like he was very satisfied with Zhen Huan.

The Queen must have cursed all nine clans of Zhen Huan in her heart.

"And Xia Wei's daughter, I think she's also a concubine, I want to give her a title as well."

The Queen responded immediately.

She was respectful on the surface, but in reality she was worried: "Then I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draw one up."

If there is another favored concubine.

I'm afraid my headache is coming back.

"No, I've already decided to call her Zhen."

When the queen heard this, she was shocked.

This might be another seductive person.

She tried to dissuade the emperor by citing his name: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. It's related to your name..."

The emperor seemed to enjoy it.

He liked the way the Queen pretended to be magnanimous even though she was obviously unhappy.

The emperor's face suddenly darkened.

There was obvious displeasure in his voice: "Can't I even think of giving you a nice title?"

The queen sensed the emperor's displeasure and immediately knelt down: "I dare not."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling the queen to leave.

There was obvious impatience in his voice: "Okay, get off."

On the way back to her palace, the queen's mind was full of thoughts.

She was weighing the pros and cons between Zhen Huan and Xia Dongchun.

I don’t know who will be favored by the emperor.

It was Zhen Huan, who looked like an older sister, who was favored.

It’s still the beautiful Xia Dongchun.

I think it’s Zhen Huan.

After all, my sister is the emperor's favorite.

It seems that Zhen Huan's place needs to be properly arranged.

And there is that place called Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun just arrived at the entrance of the alley outside the mansion.

There was a festive atmosphere at the door.

The sound of firecrackers and horns rang out one after another.

Xia Dongchun sat in the sedan chair with a happy face.

See, this is all a celebration for her.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xia Wei bowed and said, "Your Highness, I, Xia Wei, and my whole family are here to see you, my Lord."

"Good luck to the young master"

When Xia Dongchun saw her parents bowing, she immediately stepped forward to help them up, a look of displeasure on her face: "Father, Mother, how can you bow to your daughter? This is ridiculous."

Xia Dongchun looked unhappy.

Xia Wei was even happier when he saw his daughter's reaction.

As a military general, he was not particular about details.

He didn't care about these formalities: "Okay, then no greeting. How can a father greet his daughter?"

Xia Dongchun heard what his father said.

A relieved smile appeared on his face: "That's right, you will always be my father and mother."

"By the way, Ama, what happened to me today is similar to what I dreamed about last night."

"What." Even if she wasn't a daughter, it would be like in the dream.

That one zhang red.

"Girl, why don't you..."

I really want to tell my daughter that we won’t enter the palace anymore.

But this is impossible.

What about his daughter?

It seems I need to contact his third brother.

Mrs. Xia held her daughter Xia Dongchun's hand tightly.

Carefully instructing about the affairs in the palace.

"Chun'er, you must control your temper when you enter the palace."

She was afraid that her outspokenness and hot temper would cause trouble in the palace.

"You still have to avoid that disaster. You must not confront Concubine Hua head-on." Madam Xia reminded her daughter.

"Our family is not as powerful as theirs. But we are not afraid, because we are the emperor's trusted ministers." He gave his daughter confidence again.

However, the Xia family's influence in the court is not as great as that of Concubine Hua.

But as the emperor's confidant.

The Xia family also has its own foothold.

"As long as you control your temper, we will need your help. We just hope you will be safe and sound in the palace."

Although Xia Dongchun is arrogant, he also understands his mother's painstaking efforts.

She responded coquettishly: "I want to be a favorite concubine, I want it, I want it."

Madam Xia had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, okay, but dear, if you want to be a favorite concubine, you must first learn the palace rules."

"And you need to learn some skills." Mrs. Xia continued.

When Xia Dongchun heard this, she immediately said, "I want to learn to play the pipa and the konghou."

What, learn two things at once?

How can I learn it in such a short time?

But seeing how excited she was, they didn't want to interrupt her.

I had no choice but to quietly arrange for a master to come and teach me.

Learning two musical instruments at once is a difficult task with tight time constraints.

"Father, I hate that Zhen Huan. She looks so fake."

Anyway, I just hate her.

Xia Weiwei didn't respond: "Okay, okay, then, Ama, I'll send someone to investigate her family right away."

Xia Dongchun was very happy now: "Thank you, Ama."
