Lou Huan and Lou Shuying walked side by side to the imperial garden. This was the second time they had walked alone in the palace. It had not been long, but their mood was completely different. In the cold winter, the entire imperial garden still only had plum blossoms.
"It seems that Seventh Master treats you very well.”The handsome Seventh Prince and her beautiful and refined Fifth Sister, who could not say that they were a pair of immortals?
"Big sister, just say it.”Lou Huan was a little tired of people mentioning this matter. Qi Mu treated her very well, but they all knew how much of an act he was putting on.
Lou Shuying was a little surprised, but she did not say anything else. She could not forget her original purpose. She lowered her voice and whispered in Lou Huan's ear," Father is going to make a move on Yang Xianwan at this year's New Year's Eve banquet.”
Lou Huan's eyelids twitched. It was not because this news was shocking, but because she was surprised at the time and place. Why did they choose the New Year's Eve banquet? That night, the scene was so big. The palace must have been heavily guarded. Sending people in at this time was clearly courting death.
Seeing that she was thinking, Lou Shuying continued," Don't worry, everything has been arranged. This New Year's Eve banquet was arranged by Aunt.”
"Sister, what do you mean?" Lou Huan couldn't finish her sentence. They all knew that Lou Beiye was going to abandon Consort Shu. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, Consort Shu would be charged with lax management. Even if the Emperor showed mercy on account of the Eleventh Princess, Consort Shu would no longer be favored.
"Fifth Younger Sister, you're a smart person and as an elder sister, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm sure you're also clear about the relationship between Seventh Master and the Crown Princess. If anything happens to the Crown Princess, Seventh Master will definitely not stand by and watch.”Lou Shuying glanced at her coldly and told Lou Huan everything her father had told her in the letter.
Lou Huan lowered her eyes. There was one thing that she could not understand. She had endured it for so many years. Why was she in such a hurry to make a move now? She raised her head and asked," Why are you in such a hurry?"”
Lou Shuying smiled faintly. Her eyes were filled with infatuation and endless hatred." I've been planning this all along. I was waiting for you to marry Seventh Master before I made a move. However, Yang Xianwan is pregnant, so I had to plan ahead.”
Yang Xianwan was pregnant? This was undoubtedly another bombshell for Lou Huan. So that was how it was. If Yang Xianwan gave birth to this child, her status would be even more stable. Lou Shuying would probably have no chance at all. She might as well take advantage of the fact that Yang Xianwan still had feelings for Qi Mu. Once she became a mother, no matter how dissatisfied she was with her husband, she would have no choice but to plan for her child.
At the thought of this, all of Lou Huan's doubts were solved. She smiled faintly." I understand."”At this moment, she didn't need to offend Lou Beiye for Yang Xianwan.
"Fifth Younger Sister is very intelligent. It is already twice the result with half the effort to play the zither harmoniously with Seventh Master. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Where's my sister?”
"Since I'm out, I'll take a walk. Sister, go back first.”
"Then be careful. Oh, that's right. Father told me to tell Fifth Younger Sister that Seventh Madame is very good.”As soon as she finished speaking, that graceful figure gradually walked away.
Lou Huan's heart warmed when she heard the words 'Mother is very good'. Mother is good, that was more important than anything else.
Lou Huan had nothing to do, so she continued to walk around the imperial garden and digest what her elder sister had said.
"Eleventh Princess, my little ancestor, stop running.”Suddenly, not far away, the anxious shouts of the palace servants could be heard.
"I won't. If you have the ability, come and chase me.”The fifteen-year-old girl who was running at the front was dressed in a light yellow palace dress. She had a delicate hibiscus face and a pair of eyes that were filled with autumn water. Her figure was graceful and graceful. She really could afford to be as beautiful as Shun Hua and as graceful as a swan.
Lou Huan didn't hear their conversation clearly. She could only vaguely see the beauty running towards her and finally stopping in front of her. Her beautiful eyes moved, and she was pure and elegant. She was very beautiful.
"Who are you? You look about the same age as me. You don't look like my Imperial Father's concubine?”His father had recently taken in a few beauties. They were beautiful, but they did not have the charm and grace of this person in front of him. Looking at her appearance, he was immediately interested." Don't say it. Let me guess." This Rong Ya is elegant and elegant. Compared to my third sister-in-law, she is more beautiful and refined. Compared to my fourth sister-in-law, she is more beautiful and peerless. I know, you must be my seventh brother's princess.”
Lou Huan saw her peerless beauty and noble dressing, so she must be like a princess. Seeing that she was full of interest, she kept quiet and listened to her analysis. Finally, she came to a conclusion and smiled." The princess is so smart."”
"How do you know I'm a princess?"
Just as the princess was asking more and more questions, the old maids and palace maids caught up with her. They were afraid that if they were not careful, this little ancestor would slip away again. The leading nanny panted and said," Eleventh Princess, please don't torment this old servant anymore. This old servant's old bones can't withstand such torment."”
Eleventh Princess? Wasn't that Consort Shu's daughter, Princess Yue He? Emperor Zhao had many children, but he doted on the Eleventh Princess. It was said that because the Eleventh Princess looked very similar to the founding empress of the Qi Dynasty, Feng Qingqian, this princess was already treated like a prince even though she hadn't reached adulthood.
Yue He pouted and stomped her feet." Then don't bother about me."”
Everyone broke out in cold sweat. How could they not care? If anything happened to this princess, even if Consort Shu had a good temper and did not find fault with them, the Emperor would not spare them.
"Servant (servant) greets Seventh Princess Consort.”Everyone had just finished calming down when they looked up and saw a person who was not to be trifled with standing in front of them. They were afraid that this Seventh Princess Consort would punish them for offending their superiors, so their etiquette was exceptionally standard.
"Everyone, get up." Lou Huan's voice drifted away. She suddenly remembered what Lou Shuying had said to her just now. Since she had met the Eleventh Princess, she should take the opportunity to visit Consort Shu. After all, when she had just entered the palace, Consort Shu had taken good care of her. Thinking of this, she had an idea." All of you go back. I'll take a walk with the Eleventh Princess."”
" This..." The leading nanny looked troubled.
"Alright, alright, you can all go back. Seventh Princess Consort is my fifth cousin. I will go to mother's place after chatting with cousin.”Yue He hurriedly dismissed this group of people. After seeing them all bow and leave, she sighed deeply.
"What's wrong?" Lou Huan saw her sigh and asked curiously.
"Seventh sister-in-law doesn't know, but I'm turning sixteen this year. Imperial Father and Imperial Mother are afraid that I won't behave myself, so they let me learn the rules and etiquette every day.”Yue He didn't know why, but she felt that this Seventh Sister-in-law was especially amiable. She wanted to talk to her about everything. Was it because she was both her cousin and sister-in-law? No, it shouldn't be. She didn't have that kind of feeling towards her eldest cousin.
Sixteen, that was the age of adulthood in the Qi Dynasty, which meant that she was at the age of marriage. No wonder the Emperor and Shu Fei were so anxious to force this beloved princess to learn etiquette. They probably hoped to find a good marriage for their daughter.
"Princess must understand the emperor and Shu Fei niangniang's painstaking efforts. Alright, let's go and see Shu Fei niangniang together.”
"Yes." Yue He smiled sweetly and looked away.
Lou Huan could not help but be dazzled. She had seen Feng Qingqian's portrait before. Qi Yuehe and Feng Qingqian looked at most 50% alike, but their eyes were very similar when they smiled. Such a beauty was probably not inferior to Nan Xian Wan and Bei Shaoying.
He chatted and laughed with Qi Yuehe all the way back to the Yong Hua Palace, and the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.
"Imperial Mother." As soon as she stepped into Yong Hua Palace, Qi Yuehe ran into her mother's arms and acted coquettishly.
"How old are you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?”Although Consort Shu's mouth was condemning, it was more of a pampering tone. She patted her daughter's hand and asked in surprise," Why are you here with Huan 'er?”
Hearing Consort Shu call her Huan 'er and not the Seventh Princess Consort, Lou Huan understood what she meant and smiled." I happened to meet the Princess in the Imperial Garden. Huan' er thought that it had been a long time since I last saw you, so I came with the Princess."”
"Consort mother, look at how lucky Seventh Older Brother is to have married Fifth Biao Sister, such an immortal like person.”
"That's right, that's right. Let's see if our Yue-er can also find a god-like figure to be her husband.”Consort Shu teased, making Qi Yuehe's fair face blush.
"Consort Mother, you are bullying your daughter. I won't talk to you anymore. I will go and change my clothes first.”Qi Yuehe blushed and stomped her feet before running away.
"Aunt sent the princess away. Do you have something to say to Huan 'er?”Lou Huan said after Qi Yuehe had walked far away.
Consort Shu put away her doting expression and became gentle." You should know about Chu Xi's matter. After New Year's Eve, I'm afraid my Harmony Palace will become a cold palace.”She knew very well that once Chu Xi's incident happened, even if the Emperor would spare her life for Yue 'er's sake, this honor and favor would probably have to go.
Lou Huan knew and understood, but there was nothing she could do. Now, she couldn't even protect herself, so how could she save others? She sighed and comforted," Things might not be as bad as you think."”
Consort Shu smiled sarcastically, her charming face filled with desolation." I know Brother's methods very well. Huan 'er, seeing that I treated you well when you first entered the palace, I beg you to take good care of Yue' er for me.”
Without waiting for Lou Huan to speak, Consort Shu continued," Yue 'er's wedding gift is coming. I hope you can help her find a good marriage and ensure that she will have no worries for the rest of her life.”
"Aunt has filtered it. Princess Yue He is the emperor's beloved daughter. The emperor will definitely plan for the princess.”
Consort Shu shook her head, as if she had already predicted what would happen in the future." It's useless for her father to dote on her. Now, the imperial court and the harem are all led by the Zhao family. Empress Zhao hates me to the bone. After I lose power, how could she sincerely find a husband for Yue 'er? Yue' er has a simple personality. If she were to be alone in the future, what would she do? Moreover, Yue 'er's appearance will probably bring disaster to her.”
Consort Shu's words were reasonable. Having been in the palace for so many years, she could see more clearly than anyone else that the Emperor was held back by the Zhao family. He could not even keep the position of Crown Prince left behind by the late Empress, let alone his daughter. Lou Huan's heart was filled with sorrow." Why did Aunt choose Huan 'er?"”
"Shu 'er is infatuated with the Crown Prince. If Empress Zhao really took action, why would Shu' er resist Empress Zhao for Yue 'er? Moreover, I know that you really like Yue' er. Huan 'er, I've been in the palace for so long, I'm still good at reading people. You and the seventh master are not ordinary people.”Consort Shu did not shy away from giving her reason. With Empress Zhao's methods, if the Seventh Master was really what he looked like, how could he have lived so peacefully until now? Huan 'er was the same as the Seventh Master. She was someone who could not be seen through.
Lou Huan could no longer refuse, but she could not give a definite guarantee. She could only say that she would do her best. Then, he bid farewell.
Shu Fei looked at her gradually leaving back view. That frosty figure that had fused with the ice and snow, her smile was desolate. Tears that had dried up for a long time actually flowed down her face. She had used her daughter's life to gamble on her eyesight. This time, she did not know if it was right or wrong. But no matter whether she was right or wrong, she did not regret taking this gamble. It was because she had sympathy and sorrow for her aunt.
"Consort Mother, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Where's Seventh Sister-in-law?" When Yue He came out after changing her clothes, she saw her mother crying at the half-closed door.
Consort Shu quickly wiped her tears and smiled faintly." Yue 'er, tell Consort Mother that you like your Fifth Biao Older Sister.”
Yue He did not know why her mother would ask such a question. She smiled and said," I like her. Fifth Cousin makes people feel very comfortable and I really want to get close to her.”
"Yue 'er, promise Consort Mother that if one day, if someone asks you for your opinion or if you feel that something is wrong, you must tell your Imperial Father that you want to be with your Fifth Biao Sister, understand?”Consort Shu gripped her daughter's hand tightly and said anxiously.
"Imperial Mother, why? I want to be with Imperial Mother.”
"Yue 'er, listen to Consort Mother. If that day really comes, you must tell your Imperial Father.”Consort Shu saw that Yue He's clear eyes were filled with innocence and was so ignorant of the world. She was even more worried.
Although Yue He was spoiled and na?ve by the Emperor and Consort Shu, she was still fifteen years old and had learned a lot from her master. She knew that her mother had her reasons for doing this. Anyway, her mother would not harm her. Thinking of this, she agreed.
