Madam Ye took the white paper flowers off her temples. Xue Yaohua who was inside the coffin had a head full of black hair, but a person with white sideburns like her wanted to personally send away the black haired man she raised up.

Xue Liuhua choked with sobs: "I went to beg father for Xue Ronghua's life, but father listened to that slut's slanderous words and let her go."

Seeing Xue Liuhua's indignant look, Madam Ye was so angry that she threw a flower paper at the mirror, "Aiya, didn't I already say it? Don't be rash yet, with you begging like this, not only was the master unable to punish you, the b * tch even took advantage of you."

"But my sister had died innocently, I can't take it anymore."

Madam Ye clenched her fists and said with deep hatred: "Don't worry, I will make Xue Ronghua pay with her blood for the revenge of killing a girl."

Xue Liuhua wiped away her tears, "Mother, what should we do now?"

Madam Ye said: "She is currently protected by her quasi-Princess Duan identity, even your father has to be wary of her, so we have no way of attacking. We might as well wait for a while."

"But, if they choose to get married soon, and Xue Ronghua becomes the legitimate Princess Duan, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

Madam Ye sneered: "Being a quasi wangfei is her luck, but whether or not she can be a Princess Duan is up to her."

"What does Mother mean?"

The Madam Ye looked out the window at the peach trees that were densely covered with flower buds, and chuckled. "The year's plan is in spring, and when spring arrives, I believe the Empress's Hundred Blossom Banquet will soon begin as well."

Xue Liuhua said: "Do we want Xue Ronghua to enter the palace as well?"

"I don't know how the empress arranged it, but it would naturally be best if she could enter the palace," Madam Ye squinted her eyes dangerously. "It's not easy to deal with the Prince Duan. It's not easy to deal with so many misses in the capital.

"Of course, the Prince Duan has an outstanding talent, how can he give it to that slut for free?"

"Liuhua, play the role of a good big sister first. Let the outside world think that Xue Ronghua is unruly and willful, and has been making things difficult for you, this kind big sister."

Xue Liuhua nodded her head, "Then I will be walking around with the other young misses for the next few days."

When Madam Ye saw her blushing face, she sighed and said, "I'm not the one who mentioned Hundred Blossom Banquet, you should be thinking of Prince Jin."

Xue Liuhua bashfully bit her lips, "Daughter is indeed against Prince Jin …"

"You are the only daughter I have left. Mother will help you get what you want."

Xue Liuhua happily kneeled down, "Thank you mother for your help."

"But no matter how much you like it, you have to be reserved. When you go to the Hundred Blossom Banquet in the future, you have to be calm and collected, take every step you take, slowly capturing the Prince Jin, and don't be in a rush to push yourself out.

Xue Liuhua quickly nodded her head.

Chu Zongge waited by the bridge for a while before he saw a familiar looking young master walking towards him.

"Mn," Chu Zongge looked at her jade white face, and revealed a praising expression, "Madam is so handsome today."

Xue Ronghua said with a stern expression: "The word 'eight' hasn't been said yet, where did this' Madam 'come from?"

Chu Zongge laughed: "You've invited me out to meet you, what else do you have to say?"

"That day when I went to the Tingxue Building to drink, guess who I met?"

"Who?"

Xue Liuhua stared into his eyes, "Prince Jin Chu Yuanma."

"He's also going to the Tingxue Building to drink?"

"Not really. He seemed to have gone to meet someone. The person he met was a very tall and sturdy man."

Chu Zongge thought about the General Lin that the Prince Jin had told him about before, and said, "Prince Jin and the General Lin is indeed working together."

Xue Ronghua asked curiously: You and Prince Jin are friends?

Chu Zongge shook his head and pondered: "Prince Jin is the child of Noble Consort Kang, I don't usually interact with him, but he actually revealed his intentions to me two days ago."

"What did he say?"

"He knew that I was fighting for the throne with the Crown Prince. He said that he wanted to form an alliance with me to deal with the Crown Prince together."

Xue Ronghua thought for a while: "The Empress Chen is doted upon deeply by the Emperor, the position of Crown Prince cannot be underestimated, the Noble Consort Kang is of noble birth, and has an illustrious maternal family as support, if you can form an alliance with the Prince Jin, it would truly be a good thing."

Chu Zongge sighed, "On the surface, Prince Jin does not care about the imperial government, but in his heart, there is a huge gap. If by any chance he did not sincerely cooperate with me and instead borrowed me to eradicate the Crown Prince's power, by the time we fight again, I would not be able to do anything."

"Since you also have doubts in your heart, then don't agree to Prince Jin's request first."

Chu Zongge asked: "Your biological sister seems to be interested in the Prince Jin?"

Xue Ronghua revealed a look of contempt, "As long as Xue Liuhua is a good-looking man, she would have some interest.

Chu Zongge looked at her seriously, "This must have been the first time you saw the Prince Jin at the Tingxue Building that day, as if you knew his taste."

Xue Ronghua was startled, and then said: "It's you, you would actually fall for a woman like Xue Liuhua?"

Chu Zongge pretended to be deep in thought, "Although Xue Liuhua is a little arrogant and malicious, her beauty is so beautiful that it would cause the downfall of nations."

Xue Ronghua rolled her eyes at him in displeasure, "Your taste is vulgar, vulgar and unbearable."

Chu Zongge smiled, "Alright, enough. The Queen is preparing to hold her Hundred Blossom Banquet at the Imperial Garden. Are you interested?"

Xue Ronghua flung her sleeves coldly, "I'm not going with those chirping sparrows again."

Chu Zongge smiled, "In any case, the empress has invited the direct daughters of the ministers, so it can be said that you have escaped death."

"Although we escaped this calamity, it is still not good to act with the identity as a concubinage."

Chu Zongge comforted her: "Xue Yaohua is gone, Xue Liuhua and Madam Ye are still fine, it's not easy to avoid their attacks."

Xue Ronghua said calmly: "I am not wholeheartedly trying to kill them, it's just that they have never let me off."

The imperial garden was still shrouded in the cold air of the end of winter, but a few flower trees had sprouts emerging from them, causing people to be pleasantly surprised. Prince Jin accompanied Noble Consort Kang and himself for a walk in the garden. The three of them chatted and laughed merrily.

"After spring begins, I want to set up a Hundred Blossom Banquet in the imperial garden and invite the ladies of the ministers and officials of the capital to the palace to admire the flowers. Firstly, I want to help the Emperor contact the relationship between a sovereign and a subject, to show that the Emperor is magnanimous and magnanimous, and secondly, I want to help the princes of the imperial palace who are suitable to age to choose an imperial concubine."

After she finished speaking, she lightly swept her gaze across Prince Jin's face.

The Prince Jin smiled slightly. "Would the empress be able to specially invite a lady for this subject?"

Empress Chen asked curiously, "Oh? Which palace is it? It can't be the Prince Jin's lover, right? "

Prince Jin laughed: "It's not my beloved, but my beloved."

The Noble Consort Kang curiously turned her head, "The quasi wangfei of the Prince Duan, is that little miss Xue Ronghua who came from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Prince Jin cupped his hands and said, "That's right, Prince Duan asked me to plead with the Empress."

The Empress Chen said with great difficulty: "My invitation list is filled with young ladies, but on account of the Prince Duan, I can add her to the list."

Noble Consort Kang laughed. "Prince Duan is the same as him. He likes to be different from others, and Mrs. Heyi is the same."

When the Empress Chen heard what the Noble Consort Kang said, his face immediately turned pale.

Noble Consort Kang threw herself onto the ground and laughed like a flower, "At that time, Mrs. Heyi …"

Empress Chen gave her a fierce stare, but he still smiled: "Noble Consort Kang speaks of a Mrs. Heyi, how could I not personally witnessed it myself? I even thought that Mrs. Heyi and you were siblings, yet you are actually so close."

The Noble Consort Kang said with a smile: "In the imperial harem, the Empress and the Mrs. Heyi are the most similar, most like sisters.

The corner of Empress Chen's mouth twitched a few times, "I'm old, so naturally, Noble Consort can see clearly."

"No matter how clear my sister's vision is, she can't compare to the emperor. Big sister, don't you think so?"

Empress Chen's heart was stifled as he said coldly, "I believe Your Majesty has gotten up for a nap. I'll go serve him first. All of you should continue admiring the flowers."

Empress Chen's angry figure disappeared from the imperial garden. "Liu Chengyun will always be a thorn in the Queen's eye. Even the willow trees in the garden would provoke her, not to mention the title bestowed to her by the Emperor, Mrs. Heyi."

Prince Jin whispered, "Empress Chen has been a substitute for so many years, I'm afraid he really wants to dig Liu Chengyun's grave."

Noble Consort Kang said in disdain: "If she had the guts to dig graves, would she have been a substitute for me for another twenty years? If not for Liu Chengyun's arrogant personality, the one sitting in Changchun Palace would be Empress Liu. "

She turned her head to look at Prince Jin, "Have you gone to find Prince Duan yet?"

"Your son has been there."

"What did he say?"

"He and his son analyzed the situation within the palace. However, they are only at the surface, and do not trust your son very much."

"It's natural for him to suspect you. Just slowly teach him to believe."

"Yes, this son will do his best."

Noble Consort Kang squinted her eyes, and said faintly: "Prince Duan is not as simple as Liu Chengyun, you have to be careful."

Prince Jin laughed and said, "Even though Prince Duan has some ability, in the end he doesn't have mother supporting him. After all, he can't be compared to this son and mother."

"You are my only child. No matter what you do, I will do my best to help you."

When Xue Ronghua bid farewell and returned home, she was suddenly stopped by Xue Liuhua at the door of her room.

Xue Ronghua looked at her in confusion. What was this woman trying to do now?

Xue Liuhua smiled and said: "Thank you, second sister, for your funeral. Sister's handwriting is very good."

She had spent a lot of money to ask the scholar on the street to help her copy it, so the handwriting was naturally beautiful.

Seeing Xue Liuhua's fake smile, Xue Ronghua felt nauseous in her heart. When she had been Mu Langhua in her previous life, her cousin Su Rushuang had also frequently put on such a friendly smile towards her.

"Sister should have done it." Xue Ronghua had no intention to pester Xue Liuhua any longer and turned to leave, but was stopped by her from behind.

Xue Liuhua looked at her innocently, "Sister, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I still have something to say to you."

Xue Ronghua asked coldly: "Second sister's funeral is over, I don't know what else I have to do."

"The empress wants to gather Hundred Blossom Banquet at the imperial garden and invite many of her daughters. Does little sister know?"

Xue Ronghua calmly replied, "Don't worry, your sister's status is low, the empress would definitely not invite me."

Xue Liuhua said complacently: "The empress originally didn't invite my sister, but remembering that my sister is a quasi wangfei, she prepared a special seat for her sister."

What? Xue Ronghua was shocked. Didn't Chu Zongge say that he didn't need her to go?

Xue Liuhua secretly laughed, "Little sister, what are you standing there in a daze for, it's a good thing to be able to enter the palace to admire the flowers."

Xue Ronghua saw her gloating smile and became even more furious, she then laughed: "Since it's a good thing, then I'll accompany my sister into the palace to participate in the Hundred Blossom Banquet."

Xue Liuhua smiled, and nodded to pay her respects, "I don't know how many ladies are thinking about my sister, but my sister will definitely not be bored when it comes to Hundred Blossom Banquet."

Xue Ronghua chuckled: "Then I really have to thank all of you young misses for missing me."
