The study room of the Royal Palace.

Fengying has returned to report the news.

Chu Xuanchi sat at the table, "Chu Xuanhan is gone?"

Feng Ying was surprised and asked, "How did the master know that Prince Qi went to the Minister of Revenue's residence?"

Wuying immediately reminded him, "Fengying, ask fewer questions, report more, and reply more."

"Yes, boss, I'll report it right away." Fengying recounted what he had seen and heard tonight.

Chu Xuanchi thought that Chu Xuanhan and Mo Yaohua would put on a show for him, and he didn't completely believe what Fengying said.

But when he heard that Mo Yaohua wanted to push Mo Zhaohua into the water, he still frowned. This was somewhat credible.

Fengying told him everything, "Miss Mo San used the excuse of feeling unwell and did not fulfill Prince Qi's wish..."

He was only fifteen years old and didn't know anything about sex. At that time, he even thought about whether he should cover his ears if they really did that.

After he finished his report, Chu Xuanchi sent him away, "Okay, go down and have a rest. You don't need to go again tomorrow."

Fengying saluted and said, "Yes, Master. I will take my leave."

Wuying asked in a low voice, "Master, is this why you asked me to investigate Prince Qi again this afternoon?"

Chu Xuanchi raised his hand to cover his chest, "Well... Prince Qi seems to be hiding something deeper than I thought."

Wuying was extremely worried, "Master, is your internal injury acting up again?"

Chu Xuan took a slow breath and said, "It's okay. Chu Xuanhan, see if you can place an eyeliner in."

Wuying was in a dilemma. "It's not easy to place new people. We can only think of ways to persuade the old people to rebel, or wait for Prince Qi's wedding. By then, the mansion will probably need more servants."

Chu Xuanchi knew his ability and trusted him very much. "You can handle this matter. I will leave it to you. I am at ease."

Wuying was already used to his attention, so he was not flattered. "Thank you for your trust, my master."

Chu Xuanchi changed the subject, "What do you think of the second young lady of the Mo family?"

Wuying answered carefully, "From the results of the investigation, she is a lady from a noble family with good character and personality."

Chu Xuanchi asked him tentatively, "How would you feel if she were to be your mistress?"

Even someone as calm as Wuying was slightly surprised, "Master, do you want to marry Miss Mo?"

Chu Xuanchi did not intend to tell Mo Zhaohua about his marriage proposal, "I am indeed old enough to get married."

Wuying didn't ask any more questions, "If the master likes it, I will respect the mistress."

Chu Xuanchi didn't really ask for his opinion, "Tomorrow you will personally deliver a letter to Miss Mo Er on my behalf."

Wuying responded respectfully, "Yes, Master."

***

The next morning.

Mo Zhaohua received a letter from Wuying, saying that Chu Xuanchi was willing to marry her as his concubine.

After reading it, she asked Zhenzhu to light the candlestick and burn the letter, not wanting to leave any evidence to others.

Mo Zhaohua then ordered, "Zhenzhu, get ready. I have to go to the palace this afternoon."

Ordinary people were not allowed to enter the palace at will, but the Empress Dowager in the palace was her great aunt, and Concubine De was her biological aunt, and they both liked her very much, so it was easy for her to enter the palace.

"Yes, Miss." Zhenzhu knew in Ruyizhai that she would be going to the palace soon, so she went to pack the gifts she bought yesterday.

Amber pouted and pretended to be angry, "Young lady doesn't take me with you again, does that mean young lady doesn't like me anymore?"

Mo Zhaohua coaxed her, "Don't worry, little girl. When you become more stable, I will take you out."

Amber defended herself coquettishly, "Miss, I have become much more stable now. I just acted a little casually in front of you."

Mo Zhaohua didn't want to favor one over the other, "Really? Since you say so, I will take you into the palace today."

Amber felt embarrassed and said, "I was just joking with you, young lady. I'd better restrain myself."

Mo Zhaohua didn't force it, "Okay, I'll take you next time."

***

In the afternoon, Mo Zhaohua entered the palace with pearls and gifts.

According to the rules, the guards would let people pass only after a thorough inspection, and there would be palace servants leading the way into the palace.

Those with greater privileges could ride in sedan chairs or sedan chairs when entering the palace, rather than walking.

Mo Zhaohua went to see the Queen Mother first. After receiving the news, Nanny Gui, the manager of Shoukang Palace, came to greet him in person, which showed how much the Queen Mother valued him.

Mo Zhaohua was quite familiar with Madam Gui, so he knelt down and bowed, "Thank you for coming here in person, Madam."

Aunt Gui smiled kindly, "Miss is finally here. The master has been looking forward to seeing you these days."

Mo Zhaohua and Nanny Gui chatted as they walked, "The mourning period is approaching, and there are a lot of trivial matters to attend to, so it is not convenient for us to enter the palace..."

When they entered Shoukang Palace, Empress Dowager Yuande was already sitting on the main seat in the main hall. Even before they saw anyone, she was already smiling broadly.

Mo Zhaohua looked quite similar to her when she was young, which pleased her deeply. However, the moment she saw him come in, she restrained herself and became somewhat serious.

Mo Zhaohua entered the palace and knelt down to pay respect, "Your Highness the Queen Mother, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Empress Dowager Yuande pretended to be angry and said, "Zhao Zhao hasn't come to see me for so long, but do you dislike an old woman like me?"

Mo Zhaohua coaxed her, "The Queen Mother is wise, Zhao Zhao is tied up by trivial matters and cannot enter the palace, and the Queen Mother is not old at all."

But even though she knew she was trying to coax people, Empress Dowager Yuan De was still quite pleased, "You are the only one who can talk, get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." There was a chair next to him. After Mo Zhaohua stood up, he walked straight towards Empress Dowager Yuande, knelt down at her feet, and brought them closer.

Empress Dowager Yuande was extremely satisfied. "Qing'er is cold-hearted and emotionless, but the daughter she raised is lovable."

Mo Zhaohua looked up at her and said, "Queen Mother, Zhao Zhao got some good stuff in Ruyi Zhai yesterday. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhenzhu understood and handed the two exquisite small boxes to the palace maid, who then presented them to Empress Dowager Yuande.

Mo Zhaohua took a small box, opened it, picked up a little with his fingernails, and gently applied it on the back of Empress Dowager Yuande's hand.

As she applied it, she explained, "This is the most popular Snow Mountain Beauty Lotion in Shengjing. It moisturizes the skin very well."

Although the things in the palace are good, there are few varieties. Mo Zhaohua often brings some fashionable things into the palace. This time, since he is asking for a favor, he naturally has to give more.
