Zhen Huan was afraid that her reminder was too subtle and her mother would misunderstand her meaning.

So he lowered his voice and said:

"Father and Lord Emin were officials in the same court. Now that father's official position is higher than his, he must be unhappy."

"Although we should not have the intention to harm others, we should also be on guard against others."

"Father is an upright person. I hope mother can remind him more often and tell him not to get too close to him."

After hearing this, Zhen's mother nodded cautiously.

After saying this, Zhen Huan took Huanbi's hand again and talked about her idea of ​​adopting Huanbi as her sister.

Zhen's mother's expression hesitated for a moment, but then changed.

She was not an unreasonable person. Although no one had stated Huanbi's life experience explicitly, it was tacitly known among them.

Judging from the time, the emperor will soon be leaving his morning court.

Although she had met the emperor before, Zhen's mother still instinctively wanted to avoid him.

So she said goodbye to Zhen Huan reluctantly.

After Zhen's mother left, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace accompanied by Xiao Xia Zi.

As soon as he sat down, the emperor looked at Zhen Huan and asked:

"Where's your mother?"

"I heard that the emperor was coming, so mother said goodbye and went back."

The emperor smiled and joked with Zhen Huan:

"What? I'm so scared of people that I even scared my mother-in-law away?"

"Mother always said that women from other clans should not meet the emperor, fearing that it would violate the rules. Father also often reminded mother that it was not appropriate to stay in the palace for a long time, fearing that it would cause gossip."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully.

He then told Zhen Huan that in order to commend the meritorious officials, he planned to select some women of appropriate age from the meritorious officials' families to bring them into the palace.

Zhen Huan thought that it was time for Guaerjia Emin's daughter, Guaerjia Wenyuan, to enter the palace.

"I want to report Concubine Xi for having an affair!"

When Zhen Huan thought about what happened in her previous life, she still felt a little scared!

If the person Guaerjia Wenyuan had reported at that time was not Wen Shichu but Prince Guo, the fate of her and her two children would have been extremely miserable.

Fortunately, in this life, she has no relationship with Prince Guo, so Guaerjia and Wenyuan can never sue her.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan felt even more apologetic towards the Emperor.

"Your Majesty's consideration is reasonable. Taking the daughter of a meritorious official into the palace can also let the meritorious official know that the emperor values ​​them."

Seeing how considerate Zhen Huan was, the emperor liked her even more.

He held Zhen Huan's hand with the hand holding the green pearl sling and said softly:

"Hanhuan, in this palace, you are the only one who can best understand my thoughts."

Zhen Huan smiled and said nothing.

The emperor patted her hand gently:

"But Huanhuan, don't worry. No matter how many women I have around me, you are the only one I care about the most."

"Huanhuan believes in Silang."

Zhen Huan knew that the emperor was very good at talking. As long as he wanted to coax a woman, he could say things better than anyone else.

Since the emperor has said so, she has to cooperate with him no matter what.

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with eyes full of affection and said:

"As long as Silang has a place for Huanhuan in his heart, Huanhuan will be happy."

"I'm relieved if you think this way."

"Hanhuan, you are pregnant now, so you must be careful about everything."

"Regarding the matter of selecting the daughter of a meritorious official, I will ask the Queen to help me arrange it."

"You stay in the palace and take good care of yourself. I will go to Jingren Palace to see the queen."

Hearing the emperor say this, Zhen Huan said sympathetically:

"Your Majesty, please go and take care of your affairs first. I will definitely take good care of our child."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with affection in his eyes, nodded, and then left Chengqian Palace.

On this day, when all the concubines were paying their respects to the Queen, the Emperor also arrived.

She asked the queen which women of marriageable age she had chosen.

The Queen looked at the Emperor with a smile and said:

"I have chosen the Censor of the Inspectorate, the daughter of Guarjia Emin, Guarjia Wenyuan."

"And Li Ying, the sister of Li Bin, the deputy commander of the Cavalry Battalion. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Li Ying was a Han army flag, and Guaerjia Wenyuan was a Manchu army yellow flag.

Because there were not many concubines of the Manchu military flag in the palace, the emperor chose Guarjia Wenyuan.

The Queen immediately followed up the Emperor's words and said:

"I have chosen the two characters Qixiang, both of which can be used as titles."

Seeing the Queen so enthusiastically recommending Guaerjia Wenyuan to the Emperor, Zhen Huan remembered that in her previous life, Guaerjia Emin's scheme against Zhen Yuandao was most likely the Queen's work.

While thinking, Zhen Huan accidentally caught a glimpse of Concubine Hua, who was rolling her eyes at the Queen with disdain.

What Concubine Hua hated most was the Queen's hypocritical face.

Given her temper, it's possible that she dislikes the Queen.

Concubine Hua felt someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw it was Zhen Huan. She pretended to be arrogant and touched her hair triumphantly.

When Zhen Huan saw Concubine Hua's arrogant look, she couldn't help but pursed her lips with her handkerchief and laughed.

While feeling happy, Zhen Huan quickly glanced at the expressions on the concubines' faces.

Except for Tong Jia Yuting, everyone else had a very calm expression on their face.

However, no wonder!

Because the emperor wanted to send Zhen Huan to Penglai Island, he briefly favored Tong Jia Yuting for a period of time, and then dumped her again.

She was thinking in her heart, how can she regain favor?

Now that there is a new person entering the palace, it would be strange if she wasn't anxious!

Compared with Tong Jia Yuting, Hongmei was much calmer.

Although she had a face similar to Queen Chunyuan, the emperor did not favor her very much.

Zhen Huan thought that it might have something to do with the fact that she had no intention of vying for favor, and also because the emperor was busy with affairs of the previous dynasty, it was possible that he could not take care of her for the time being.

Zhen Huan looked at Yun'er who was sitting next to her. She looked empty and lonely, as if everything here had nothing to do with her.

Since Longkodo's death, the emperor ordered his house to be raided.

Although the Tongjia clan was not completely killed, all the male members of the clan were exiled to a bitter and cold place.

Longkodo and Li Si'er's son, Tong Jia Yuzhu, was also among them.

As for Yue Xing'a, the emperor only stripped him of his title and demoted him to a commoner, but did not sentence him to exile, considering his contribution in exposing Longkodo.

I think Yun'er must be very worried about him this time!

Zhen Huan thought that after paying her respects, she would discuss with her sisters how to help Yun'er leave the palace.

At this time, the conversation between the emperor and the queen was still going on.

The emperor bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then chose a title from the ones proposed by the queen:

"Then it's Qi, Lady Qi, you will enter the palace on the first day of November."

After saying this, the emperor left.

The Queen spoke a few more words to the concubines, asking them to work together to serve the Emperor and to help him have more children, and then she asked them to leave.

"Chen and concubine retire."

After everyone stood up and bowed, and were about to leave, the Queen smiled and called Zhen Huan:

"Princess Wan, please stay. I have something to tell you."
