Xue Ronghua looked at the silk bottom of the dogwood embroidery dress in front of him and covered her face with her hands, feeling a headache coming on. This Xue Liuhua had already become Imperial Concubine Hua, and she still had to call her into the palace as her concubine. She really couldn't calm down for a single moment.

"Miss," Little Zhui bit her lips, "The carriage sent by the palace is already waiting outside the mansion. Miss, please quickly change your clothes."

Xue Ronghua looked at her with an aggrieved face, "Can you not go against the decree?"

Little Zhui waved her hands in panic, "That won't do, who dares to disobey the emperor's orders?"

Xue Ronghua took off her clothes gloomily and changed into her new dress. She was afraid that she would have to waste her time in Xue Liuhua's palace on such a sunny day, which was suitable for going out to have fun. She had not seen her for several months and still didn't know how the concubine would make things difficult for her.

"Miss," Little Zhui took out the Liluan pendant that she had not used in a long time, "Do you need to wear this to the palace?"

Xue Ronghua thought for a while, then said: "Wear it, the Emperor always gives you some face when you wear it."

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion unwillingly, Xue Ronghua had been thinking about why she called her here the whole way.

"Miss, who is this Imperial Concubine Hua in the palace?" Little Zhui asked suspiciously, "How come I've never heard of him?"

This matter concerns the Emperor. Chu Zongge and Prime Minister's Mansion, the less people know about them, the better. Xue Ronghua said hesitantly: "... Empress Imperial Concubine Hua is a distant relative of the Xue Clan. When she just entered the palace, perhaps because her maternal family lived far away, she wanted to meet her relatives in the capital and have a heart-to-heart talk. "

"But I see that Miss doesn't like this esteemed lady."

"When I was young, I had a grudge with this Empress, so I didn't really approve of her as a person," Xue Ronghua tried her best to make the lie seem more perfect, "However, she has now become the legitimate mistress, so I didn't dare to slight her."

"Is the Imperial Concubine Hua Empress good-looking?"

Xue Ronghua laughed: "You only care about the looks of the parents, if you were to be like Xue Liuhua, what use would it be to look good." After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment. She clearly shouldn't have mentioned it, so why did she say it out loud?

Little Zhui did not notice Xue Ronghua's stiff expression, "The old master has been very upset since the death of the young miss. When I saw him yesterday, I saw his eyes red."

"The precious pearl that was raised for more than ten years died in the palace without anyone knowing, so how can I not feel sorrowful?" Xue Ronghua's gaze dimmed down, "Tomorrow, go and send some congee for the old master to recuperate her soul."

"Yes, miss."

When Xue Ronghua entered the palace, she left Little Zhui outside the palace to wait. Xue Liuhua was in front of the mirror to comb her makeup. She calmly walked to the side of the Eight Immortals Table and calmly sat behind her.

Xue Liuhua looked in the mirror and saw how Xue Ronghua was sizing up the palace. She could not help but smile slightly, "How is it? This is the palace that the Emperor has bestowed upon me, isn't it? "

She slowly stood up and casually walked to Xue Ronghua's side. She was wearing a flower-colored dress with folded petals, and her hair was tied up in a bun. She was rolling her golden butterfly wings in the air.

Xue Ronghua was dazzled by the spring scenery before her eyes. If Xue Liuhua was not as venomous as she seemed, she might even be able to become a beauty of her generation.

"It's been a few months since we last met. Elder sister is becoming more and more beautiful."

Xue Liuhua smiled, "Why do you call me sister, I should call you esteemed Imperial Concubine Hua instead."

Xue Ronghua slightly nodded, "Queen Imperial Concubine Hua."

"Does little sister know where this title came from?"

"This subject does not know."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Xue Liuhua's eyes, she bit her lips and said: "Little sister, don't pretend to be stupid, wasn't the idea of letting me fake my death suggested by Prince Duan?"

Xue Ronghua curved her lips to the side, and laughed: "What is the Empress saying, everything is decided by the Emperor, how can it be Prince Duan's turn to criticize?"

Xue Liuhua's face turned sinister, "Do you think I don't know what the Prince Duan is doing?"

Xue Ronghua shrugged helplessly, "This is a matter between the Empress and Prince Duan, this subject is very confused."

"If all of you defile me like this, I will never let you off!"

Xue Ronghua raised her eyebrows, "Why would Empress Imperial Concubine Hua not let this subject go? This subject is the eldest miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Empress is the adopted daughter of the Duke of Ning.

Xue Liuhua was momentarily at a loss for words. She gritted her teeth and said: "You and Prince Duan, you two slut, colluded together. You wholeheartedly wanted to put me to death, and it was all because of you.

Xue Ronghua looked at her in disdain, "Empress Imperial Concubine Hua, I'm afraid you remembered wrongly. The person who escorted you into the palace was the Prince Jin, not me and the Prince Duan.

"It was Prince Duan's idea to call me a fake death and let me become Imperial Concubine Hua."

"Then the Empress will have to thank Prince Duan," Xue Ronghua said unhurriedly. "If it wasn't for Prince Duan coming up with an idea to fake her death, I wonder if the Empress would be able to continue bickering with me while blushing."

"Thank?" "It was all the Prince Duan's idea. I want to be forced to share a bed with a man I don't love, and to force a smile on those heartless concubines. I want to be imprisoned here day and night."

"Do you hate yourself for becoming a palace imperial concubine, or do you hate yourself for not becoming a high-ranked palace imperial concubine?"

Xue Liuhua bit her lips and spat out a few words, "What do you know?"

I have heard the Empress call me one by one, I think that you must be enjoying life in this palace, "Xue Ronghua licked her lower lip, full of provocation." Empress, it is better for you to take a breather, and properly accept the arrangements of fate, and not do anything useless. Otherwise, the Emperor will suspect that there is something between you and the Prince Jin that could cause you to be so willing to serve Your Majesty.

When Xue Liuhua heard the name Prince Jin, her expression stiffened. She opened and closed her lips, but was unable to refute a few words.

"As expected," Xue Ronghua's eyes flashed with an understanding smile, "The Empress is still extremely concerned about the Prince Jin. I wonder if the Prince Jin, who was enjoying life outside the palace, will remember the Empress working so hard for him in the palace."

Xue Liuhua said with a pale face: "There's no need for an outsider like you to interfere in matters between us."

"Prince Jin might not be the Empress's wife," Xue Ronghua said as she looked at her coldly, "Xue Liuhua, you should wake up. The reason why Prince Jin sent you to the Palace was to get rid of the burden on you, and also to use you to blow the wind around your pillow. You can't possibly think that in the future, the Prince Jin will inherit the position and look back at you, right?"

Xue Liuhua was startled, "What inheritance? I am not clear."

"I'm not sure, but I don't believe you. You have been at Prince Jin's side for so long, how could you not know that he dealt with Prince Duan to save the throne."

Xue Liuhua lowered her head and remained silent.

"You think that just by being Imperial Concubine Hua, you can help the Prince Jin?" Looking at her haggard expression, Xue Ronghua was overjoyed. "If I say one word wrong in front of the emperor, I think the emperor will first suspect that you have relations with the Prince Jin, or will he trust you more?"

The scene of him conversing with the Emperor quickly flashed through Xue Liuhua's mind. He forced himself to be calm as he said, "Prince Jin is the Emperor's prince, while his mother is the Noble Consort Kang. His uncle just solved the famine in Subei."

"He solved a problem that even the Emperor has not solved," Xue Ronghua said with a sweet smile.

Xue Liuhua looked at her in disbelief, "It would be a great achievement to solve the famine in Subei …"

"A meritorious service is a great merit, but there is a suspicion that a meritorious service is too great to bear," Xue Ronghua laughed. "I don't think the Empress believes this to be true either."

Xue Liuhua bit her red lips, and said after being silent for a moment: "At home … How about my parents? "

Father saw your corpse and cried bitterly. As for Madam Ye, I am afraid you do not know about the poison yourself, turning into a cripple and never waking up again. "

Xue Liuhua's eyes inadvertently reddened, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Xue Ronghua tidied up her skirt and gave her a fake salute, then turned and left.

"Also," Xue Ronghua stopped at the door and sighed slightly, "I see that the Empress's body is round and smooth, and there are even some acid on the table. I'm afraid I'm delighted, let's go find an imperial physician.

Xue Liuhua's current situation was entirely her fault. On the way, Xue Ronghua let out a small sigh and saw a bright yellow figure flash past a bunch of flowers in front of them. She hurriedly knelt down and paid her respects, "This subject pays her respects to the emperor."

The emperor slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at the Liluan pendant at her waist with rapt attention. "You put on the thing that I gave you that day."

Xue Ronghua said with a smile, "Naturally, this jade pendant personally bestowed by the Emperor needs to be worn on your body."

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction, "You came out of Imperial Concubine Hua's palace just now right?"

"Yes."

"Ever since you entered the palace, Imperial Concubine Hua had frequently mentioned to us that she misses her family members, and told us to summon them to the palace to resolve our feelings of love."

Xue Ronghua was not satisfied, this Xue Liuhua had indeed planned for this long ago. This subject's daughter misses her sister too, thank you, your majesty. "

"You …" The emperor looked at her, the meaning in his eyes unclear. "I will tell the world that your sister faked his death, Prime Minister Xue should be very sad."

"Father was sad for a while. This subject's daughter comforted him for a while, and then she felt much better."

"Mm," the Emperor thoughtfully nodded. "Then can you blame me for bringing your sister into the palace?"

Xue Ronghua was startled, why would the emperor ask such a question? Although the three of them knew very well that Xue Liuhua had faked her death to transform into Imperial Concubine Hua, but no one knew how to answer if the emperor asked publicly like this.

She pondered for a moment, still pretending that she did not know that the Emperor and the Prince Jin had become enemies, "Since Elder sister was willing to abandon her status as a direct daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and had abandoned her father and daughter to become concubines in the palace, I think she truly loves the Emperor," she smiled slightly. Although she was far away from her elder sister, it could still be considered as fulfilling Elder sister's wish, so why would this subject blame you? "

Seeing the Emperor's slowly opening mouth, Xue Ronghua heaved a sigh of relief.

"In the future, if quasi wangfei wants to see Imperial Concubine Hua, just come over," the Emperor said with a smile.

Xue Ronghua nodded slightly.

"Is the quasi wangfei in no hurry to return?"

Xue Ronghua looked at him in a daze, "... "I am not in a hurry …"

"That's good," the Emperor's eyes shone brightly. "Does the quasi wangfei know about Luan Feng Palace?"

"This subject knows, that is the Prince Duan's Bedchamber."

"It would be better if we go to the Luan Feng Palace for a walk," the Emperor said with a smile as he lowered his head. "There are many willow trees planted there, all green and very fresh and pleasant."

Xue Ronghua hesitated. Originally, after meeting Xue Liuhua, she wanted to go to Chu Zongge's Xinyang Hall, but met the Emperor halfway.

The emperor took a few steps forward. When he saw that she had stopped moving, he curiously asked, "Aren't you in no hurry to return home?"

Xue Ronghua touched the Liluan pendant with her finger and thought for a while. If she and the emperor go to Luan Feng Palace, she can get some information about the Mrs. Heyi.

She smiled sweetly at the emperor. "This subject isn't in a hurry to return to the residence. I'll take a stroll around the Luan Feng Palace with the emperor."
