The emperor saw that Concubine Hua had returned to her former jealous self, and the smile on his face grew:

"Shilan, are you jealous of Concubine Xi?"

"I love seeing you getting jealous of me the most!"

"I don't have any."

Concubine Hua looked at the emperor shyly and said:

"I am only speaking the truth. In the emperor's heart, Sister Huan is always the best."

"Sister Huan? Shilan, you call Concubine Xi "Sister Huan?"

It was only this time that the Emperor noticed that Concubine Hua had changed her title, and he felt indescribably happy.

He thought he had played a role in the process and felt a sense of pride.

Because Concubine Hua had achieved what she wanted, she did not hesitate to joke with the emperor:

"Why, only the emperor is allowed to call Concubine Xi Huanhuan, but I am not allowed to call her Sister Huan?"

The emperor saw Concubine Hua smiling brightly and laughed too:

"Since you called me sister, it means you agree with what I said. In this case, I have accomplished a good thing."

"I hope that you sisters can get along well with each other in the future and work together to manage my harem."

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "It's the Emperor."

At this point, the relationship between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua was officially revealed.

The emperor was no longer as wary of Concubine Hua and the Nian family as he had been in the past.

After letting down his guard, the emperor felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally.

The palace was quiet for a while because of Ye Lanyi's incident.

Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing assisted in managing the six palaces. The emperor's favor for Hongmei grew day by day, and he promised that once Hongmei became pregnant, she would be immediately conferred the title of "concubine".

In Prince Guo's mansion, Meng Jingxian gave birth to a son and named him Yuan Che.

The days passed one by one, and Zhen Huan and her sisters lived a quiet life for a while.

But they know that what is often brewing in silence is a more intense explosion.

On this day, Zhen Huan learned from Yujiao that Prince Guo's mansion had sent a woman into the palace, her name was Caiping.

The emperor gladly accepted it, bestowed a title on him, and ordered him to serve as a concubine.

When the Third Prince found out, he was shocked and clamored to go find the Emperor to argue.

It turned out that Prince Guo listened to Meng Jingxian's advice and let Caiping meet the Third Prince first. After making the Third Prince fall in love with Caiping, he deliberately sent Caiping to the palace to become the emperor's concubine.

This is what Prince Guo said, muddy the water in the palace first.

"Why did the Emperor want to steal my woman? Why did the Emperor want to steal my woman?"

Hongshi yelled angrily in the hall:

"Father, you already have so many women in your harem, why do you want to snatch away Cai Ping, the only one I like!"

"why?"

"Third brother, be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"

Xiao Lezi was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the palace door:

"If the Emperor knew this..."

"You dare not take me seriously, do you?"

The Third Prince was so angry that he slapped Xiao Lezi hard:

"Get out! Get out of here right now!"

Xiao Lezi had good intentions, but he didn't expect to get slapped in the face like this.

Although I felt wronged, I had to cover my burning face and walk towards the door.

"return!"

After the Third Prince calmed down, he called Xiao Lezi down and said to him:

"This matter must not be made public. If it gets out, I will never let it go!"

"It's the Third Prince!"

After saying that, Xiao Lezi retreated, leaving the Third Prince alone in the hall, feeling sad.

"Cai Ping, Cai Ping, why didn't you wait for me? Why didn't you wait for me?"

"The Emperor is so old now. What good will it do for you to follow him? What good will it do... Cai Ping..."

The Third Prince drank his wine while speaking in a daze:

"What should I do? What should I do..."

"Can anyone tell me what I should do?"

At this moment, a person's shadow suddenly flashed in his mind:

Uncle Seventeen!

I want to go find Uncle Seventeen and ask him what is going on.

He knew that I was interested in Caiping, so why did he still send her to the Emperor?

Thinking this in his heart, the Third Prince began to shout towards the door:

"Little Lezi, little Lezi..."

Xiao Lezi heard the sound and ran in hurriedly:

"Third brother, what do you want me to do?"

The third prince stood up anxiously:

"Go and ask if Prince Guo has entered the palace today?"

"Yes, Third Prince."

Xiao Lezi was about to leave after saying this.

The Third Prince then noticed Xiao Lezi's red and swollen face, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart:

"Xiao Lezi, I was angry just now, so I hit you. You don't blame me in your heart, right?"

"Third brother, please don't say that!"

"I have been with Third Prince for many years, so I know your temper."

"Besides, these are what I deserve, and I dare not complain."

Xiao Lezi said this, but in his heart he was extremely disappointed with the Third Prince.

He is the emperor's eldest son, but because of a woman, he was so sad that he lost his mind.

He keeps saying that he wants to go to the emperor to ask for an explanation!

Isn't this a way of cutting off one's own path?

If the emperor knew about this, how could he let him inherit the throne?

No wonder the late Concubine Qi always praised the Third Prince for growing taller whenever she saw the Emperor.

Perhaps even she, as his mother, cannot find any other good qualities in the Third Prince?

Since Xiao Lezi said so, Hongshi believed it.

"That's good."

"Xiao Lezi, then go out and do your work. Once you find out the details, come and tell me immediately."

"Yes, Third Prince."

After Xiao Lezi left, the Third Prince felt so depressed that he paced back and forth in the hall.

"No, I have to go to the Yangxin Palace to visit the Emperor, and by the way, see if Ping'er is there."

The Third Prince talked to himself.

After making up his mind, he took the palace maids with him and went out.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I heard the melodious sound of a guzheng coming from inside.

Like flowing water in a mountain stream, it makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

The Third Prince closed his eyes involuntarily, shaking and turning his head along with the sound of the zither.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and sighed:

“Only she can play such a beautiful piece of music.”

"It is hard to find a soulmate in the mountains and rivers... Is the Emperor your soulmate?"

The Third Prince sighed silently in his heart, then walked towards the door with his entourage.

After Su Peisheng reported, he took a deep breath and walked in.

The first sight naturally fell on Caiping.

Although Caiping knew the purpose of Prince Guo's letting her enter the palace this time, she had no other thoughts about the Third Prince.

She just sat there quietly, listening to the father and son talking.

The Third Prince first told the Emperor about his studies;

Afterwards, he looked at Caiping and told the emperor that he also wanted to marry a virtuous and quiet wife in the future.

The Third Prince stared at Caiping with a silly smile every time, but Caiping avoided him every time.

The Third Prince was displeased when he saw this.

He interpreted Caiping's avoidance as being due to her fear of the emperor.

After a while, I couldn't help but feel hatred towards the emperor.
