The next day, the six palace maids came to pay their respects to Zhen Huan and then dispersed. Only Hai Lan stayed. Zhen Huan and her had a tacit understanding.

"Your Highness, Princess Qing is still under house arrest. Now she is in Chonghua Palace without a title, which is not right. Should we give her a title before putting her under house arrest?"

"Hai Lan, don't you resent her a lot? Why are you still willing to speak for her?" Zhen Huan felt something was not good. Hai Lan's soul power had returned, and she still wanted to help Qingying.

Hai Lan hurriedly explained, "Empress, she and her lover, Suo Xin, saved my life. I should repay her. From now on, she is the only one who owes me. Moreover, Suo Xin is innocent, and Concubine Shen is also suffering. I feel uneasy."

"I hope that in this life you can distinguish who truly loves you and who is truly important to you, and keep kindness in your heart, so that Langya's willingness to give you a chance to reform will not be in vain," Zhen Huan said comforted. "Okay, don't be restrained, we can still be like before."

Hailan smiled mischievously, "No, I used to call you Sister Fujin. If I continue to do the same now, it would be against the rules."

"You, living close to the imperial concubine, have become so cunning now." Zhen Huan smiled and pinched her nose.

"I was wrong, Queen Sister." Hai Lan smiled and dodged Zhen Huan's clutches. The Queen Mother was already eighty years old mentally, yet she was still so childish.

Zhen Huan came to the Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for mercy for Qingying.

As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she heard laughter and joy. When Zhen Huan was welcomed in by Aunt Fujia, she found that it was Gao Xiyue who was there.

It turned out that it was because she had just taken charge of the palace affairs and had to sort out everything from scratch, so she was extremely busy. Xiyue wanted to help her in whatever way she could, and in addition to often accompanying the third princess Jingse, she also came to pay respects to the empress dowager every day.

After a while, he got to know Princess Hengti well, and he felt less restrained in front of the Queen Mother. In addition, Princess Hengti was lively and sweet-talking, and Gao Bin would occasionally find something to entertain himself outside the palace, which made the Queen Mother laugh every day.

After Zhen Huan bowed and greeted, she explained her purpose. The Queen Mother had long since stopped caring about Qingying. Yixiu was dead, and her youngest daughter was by her side. She simply forgot that she had punished her by confining her to her room.

Although Gao Xiyue didn't like Qingying, since it was Sister Langya who came to plead for her and she fully supported her work, she kept silent and did not help or add insult to injury to Qingying.

Now Qingying can be released from house arrest, and the next step is to determine her position and the palace. In her previous life, she was first named Concubine Xian, and then moved into the Yikun Palace. In this life, the position depends on Hongli's own preferences, and Chu Ying has already moved into the Yikun Palace.

However, they did not want to let her live in Chengqian Palace, and still let her go to Yanxi Palace. Zhen Huan originally wanted to learn from Hongli, first sending her to Yanxi Palace under the pretext of repairing Chengqian Palace, and then waiting for her to make Hongli angry in the future, and then keeping her in Yanxi Palace.

As the mother of the virus, it is very necessary to live away from everyone.

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Zhen Huan went to the Yangxin Palace.

At this moment, Hongli had just finished discussing matters with the military minister and was admiring the wall vase. When he saw Zhen Huan come in, he pulled her along to admire it.

"After the rain, the sky turns blue and the clouds break, and this color will be the future. I only love this sky-blue one, it is as white as jade and is truly a work of art beyond imagination." Zhen Huan couldn't let go of Hongli's collection.

The two discussed porcelain for a while, and then Zhen Huan told Hongli the purpose of her visit. Hongli felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had forgotten Qingying and killed the Empress of Jingren Palace.

"Why not make Qingying a concubine? Since she came into the palace with Xiyue, it would be a shame to treat her like this. As for the title, give her the character 'Xian'. Qingying is as quiet as a chrysanthemum and likes poetry and prose. Er Yaxian is a good choice, and the character 'Xian' suits her best."

Zhen Huan's dignified and gentle smile almost couldn't be maintained. She almost burst out to kill the dragon for the second time. "Yes," Zhen Huan replied meekly. But Hongli still felt a hint of stiffness in her tone.

"Chengqian Palace is, in accordance with God's will, a place where only the favored concubine can live. Why not give it to Concubine Xian? But Chengqian Palace has been closed since the last emperor. Now it needs to be renovated if it is to be lived in." Zhen Huan was trying to enforce the law by scheming.

"No need. We already have Changchun Palace, so let's keep Chengqian Palace closed." Hongli pulled Zhen Huan's watch and made up his mind. Zhen Huan cooperated and gave him a loving look in return.

"Then the only thing left is the Yanxi Palace, but it's quite remote."

"Nothing, she just likes quietness. Just make sure to decorate it properly and don't let her down."

Qingying came out of Chonghua Palace and walked into Yanxi Palace. Zhen Huan arranged everything for her according to the standards of a concubine. There was no point in making things difficult for her over these trivial matters and tarnishing Langya's reputation.

A Ruo was naturally happy. Since her master had become a concubine, her own status had also risen and she would no longer have to suffer.

Qin Li came to the Yanx Palace with the stuffs appropriate for a concubine, "Oh, I'm here to pay my respects to Empress Xian." Qin Li introduced the chief eunuch Sanbao and several young eunuchs assigned to Qingying by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as several young palace maids, namely Lingzhi, Yunzhi, Shuizhi, and Zezhi.

He pointed at the things the young eunuch was holding as if presenting treasures and said, "These are all gifts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Empress Xian. Congratulations, Her Majesty." Qin Li said the compliments with a smile. He originally thought that he could be rewarded with a handful of golden melon seeds like the empresses and ladies in other palaces.

Qingying glanced at A Ruo indifferently, and A Ruo understood, walked forward with her hands on her hips, and started to scold Qin Li. "Eunuch Qin, we dare not accept your filial tribute to the Yanxi Palace, otherwise our master will be starved to death by you one day."

Qin Li ran out in disgrace, not only failing to get the golden melon seeds, but also being scolded. Qin Li only blamed Concubine Xian for this aggrieved scolding, saying that they were all servants, not the master's intention, so who dared to scold them like that.

"Bah, you only survived starvation in Chonghua Palace because of the subsidy from me, the eunuch. Just wait until the day you fall into my hands and I will make you pay back double." Qin Li jumped up and down.

In the evening, Hongli came to have dinner with Zhen Huan holding his sky-blue wall vase. Yonglian and Jingse, who had just finished school, were also there. Yonglian was smart and Jingse was clever. Needless to say, the family of four was very happy.

Qingying was sitting in the Yanx Palace waiting for Hongli to arrive. She suddenly had an idea and went to the Cining Palace to chat with the empress dowager for a while, asking her to change her name and allow her to cut off her past mistakes.

"The name Qingying was given to me when I was young. Most cherry blossoms are pink, but I am called Qingying, which is inappropriate."

"Ruyi, are you okay?"

“Is it the wish that everything goes well?”

"It's the Yi in Yide, which means beautiful and peaceful. Perfect beauty is so rare in the world. If I can be like Yi, it would be great."

The conversation between the Queen Mother and Qingying did not avoid the Imperial Concubine Gao who came to Hengti to see the Epiphyllum. Therefore, the Imperial Concubine, who witnessed the whole process of changing her name, wanted to learn it quickly and tell her sisters.

"Empress Dowager, did the late emperor ever shed tears in front of you?"

Queen Mother:…
