The moonlight was like water, making it coincidentally the best protective talisman in this deep palace. There would always be some people who would secretly do some small things, not caring about the lives of others, but only for their own wealth.
Liu Chugrong rubbed the paper in his hand. It was broken, but the words were clear: Be more careful these days. Naturally, you will get what you want. Although he did not know who had sent the young palace maid to deliver it to him, he could be considered to have fulfilled his wish.
"Empress, dinner is ready." Lamei didn't know what Liu Chugrong was thinking, so he called to her in a low voice, even though he had been by her side for so long. However, she did not dare to compliment the temper of this noble.
Liu Chu Rong was really dissatisfied after his thoughts were interrupted. He glanced at La Mei for a second and then put her paper back, carefully locking it before he went to have his meal.
The maids around watched Liu Chugrong eat carefully, afraid that they would be punished if they were careless. If it was light, then it was just a superficial wound. However, if it was heavy, he might not even be able to survive.
Liu Chugrong didn't care about the thoughts of the people around him, he just enjoyed it. Although her grade had yet to be restored, the Emperor's intentions towards her had already been made clear. He was only missing a clear decree. So she waited, and waited. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
"My beloved concubine, what did you think of? Why are you smiling so happily? You're lost in thought." Suddenly, a voice came into his ears. He got up and saluted.
"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty. I didn't know that Your Majesty had descended, I beg your forgiveness." Fu Yuheng smiled as he helped her up before sitting down with her again.
"What's going on with you servants? Why did the emperor come and spread the news? Are there any rules?" After taking their seats, they turned around and sharply reprimanded the servants beside them. Everyone in the room then kneeled down and begged for forgiveness.
She had just regained her favor and was now most afraid of losing the Emperor's heart again. How could she tolerate their mistakes? Fu Yuheng only frowned and did not speak up to stop them from leaving.
"Alright, stop being so popular. Why were you smiling so happily just now?" As she spoke, she gently caressed Liu Chugrong's face. She used to think that her delicate and pretty appearance was different from before, but today, she felt it was a bit eye-catching.
In the end, he still looked very much like that person! Thinking of Shen Qingwan, Fu Yuheng felt annoyed again.
"Reporting to your majesty, chenqie only thought of seeing the Emperor everyday for the next few days, so she was very happy." As Liu Chugrong spoke, he leaned lightly against Fu Yuheng. The servants retreated upon seeing him.
That was true. That was what she was happy about. As long as Fu Yuheng was able to make it here, then the day of her being crowned as one of the Six Palaces was just around the corner. When that happens, Shen Qingwan and the carrageenan will be the ones to take revenge!
Although he thought this in his heart, he still maintained the delicate and touching posture of a pitiful little woman, holding onto Fu Yuheng's clothes and not letting go.
"Alright, as long as my beloved concubine is happy, then it's fine. I'll properly compensate you for the grievances you've suffered a while ago." He stood up and carried Liu Jiaorong to the bed.
Half a room in the Spring Festival Glow, the night was Spring Festival Gala.
Since ancient times, the imperial harem could not be separated from the family, so Liu Chugrong was pampered in the harem, once again gaining the favor of the emperor. The days in Prime Minister Liu were much better, and now, they were full of joy every day, no longer frowning.
This morning, he had instructed the butler to prepare a carriage to announce that he was leaving. He only brought a few attendants with him as he walked all the way to an inconspicuous restaurant. He looked around but didn't see anyone. Then, he hurriedly walked in.
"This humble subject pays my respects to Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince is well." When they arrived at the private room on the second floor, Prime Minister Liu bowed respectfully.
Fu Huaiyu heard the sound and put down the teacup. He stared at the person who came over with a smile and a pair of peach blossom eyes. Prime Minister Liu need not be so polite. Sit down, please. "
Seeing that this old man was in such a good mood and had even specially arranged to meet him, it seemed that his plan had succeeded. However, he was still careful as he knew that he chose an inconspicuous place to hide from others.
"Hehe, I still need to thank you. If it were not for the prince, my daughter would not have been able to regain her favor. I'm afraid my Liu Manor would not have been able to get up." The Liu Residence was implicated in Liu Chu Rong's loss.
Originally, he was extremely worried about this matter, but fortunately, he had received help from the Ninth Prince. That was why he was able to protect Liu Chugrong and the wealth of the Liu Residence.
"The Honorable Liu was only framed by someone. This king can't bear to see it, so I came up with a plan." He picked up the teacup and savored it. The tea was good, but the cup was a bit worse. If he did, it would be perfect.
He poured another cup and passed it to Prime Minister Liu, who accepted it with a smile and took out a silver note from his sleeves.
"This humble servant knows that the prince was born rich, and must have seen many fine things. "There's nothing to bring here today. I hope that Your Highness can accept these banknotes. This old man will consider it as a thank-you gift." The other items were too eye-catching, and the banknotes were the most valuable.
Even the butler didn't know about this. He went to the bank to retrieve the banknotes himself. This could be considered a generous gift.
Fu Huaiyu looked at it for a moment, then accepted and placed it on his body. As a prince, he was naturally interested in whatever he wanted. The thing he lacked the least was silver. However, since it was the Prime Minister Liu's intentions, he naturally accepted it.
"Alright, but I should still tell Honorable Liu. He should be more obedient during this period of time and not act so recklessly." After the tea was finished, it was time to leave. He had given such a huge favor to this Prime Minister Liu and there would be a lot of places that he could use it in the future.
The Prime Minister Liu didn't dare stop them, and followed Fu Huaiyu down the stairs. The two exchanged greetings in front of the door for a while longer before leaving.
Only after he sat in the carriage did his heart calm down. Liu Chugrong was fine in the palace, and he was no longer scolded by the emperor in the court. As for this Ninth Prince, he will talk about it later.
The two of them left separately, thinking that the matter was over. However, there was no wall in this world that was impervious to the wind. Naturally, there would be other eyes that would be able to see it.
"Jiu'er, what are you looking at? Why are you so lost in thought?" A small maid touched a small, stunned maid with a delicate jewelry box.
She had not spoken since the beginning, and had been in a daze. It was unknown what she had seen.
"Ah, nothing. We've already gotten the jewellery the empress wants, let's hurry back. It's about to close. " The little palace maid called Jiu'er shook his head and quickly walked forward.
She had just seen the Ninth Prince together with this Prime Minister Liu as if there was some sort of deal, but she was still the Empress's person. Therefore, this matter could only be told to the empress. Right now, it was imperative that they return to the palace.
