Huilan had nothing to do after breakfast, so she pruned flowers and trees in the yard and put medicinal materials on the shelf to process and dry. These things were kept for future use in case of illness.

To invite an imperial physician, you need the prince's order. Low-level concubines like them are not qualified to invite an imperial physician. They need Chang Ji to invite them.

It was because of the trouble that Li Liangdi took advantage of her status as a high-ranking concubine and deliberately concealed the news, hoping to take the opportunity to kill her.

Anyway, he died of illness. Given the status and reputation of the Li family, it would not be a big deal if a little Liangyuan died.

Unexpectedly, things turned around after Huilan arrived, and she even caused a scene, punished Li Liangdi, and killed her only personal maid, the most loyal palace maid Hongling, which was equivalent to breaking an arm.

"Qiuyun, how is Li Liangdi? Is there any news?"

With nothing to do, Huilan sat on a deck chair in the yard to get some air in the shade.

Qiuyun took a step forward and lowered his head slightly. His voice was not loud, but it was clear to his ears.

"Going back to the master, the eldest palace maid Hong Ling went to the Shenxing Department and could not bear the punishment and served all the punishments. As a result, Li Liangdi was punished to be locked up in the Yilan Palace and was not allowed to visit or go out.

I heard that because there was no medicine, the people in the palace went to flatter Yu Liangdi. Li Liangdi didn't even have medicine to treat her injuries, and her face is not healed now."

At that time, Li Liangdi had been slapped fifty times in the mouth, and her face would definitely be swollen. Without medicine, it would not be disfigured, but it is true that things heal slowly, and Chang Ji was very measured in his actions.

Li Liangdi is the concubine of the military general's palace, and she also has the Li family as her backing. The Li family will not give up their alliance with the prince unless something unexpected happens, so Li Liangdi's face will be fine.

"Don't worry, her face will be fine. Yu Liangdi doesn't dare to openly offend the Li family. It's not that easy to choose another daughter to join. The draft also takes place every three years. The East Palace is not the Li family's backyard. If you want to enter, you can

Entered."

Huilan leaned on the recliner and swayed slightly, understanding the situation clearly.

"Master has a keen eye, it is indeed true."

"Well, there's no need to talk about the others. Let's talk about the Crown Princess. Tell me something I don't know."

The princess has already been decided, but the wedding has not yet come. The wedding is of great significance to the prince. It is necessary to make thorough preparations and choose a good and auspicious day. This is related to national policy, so there is no way to be careless.

"The Crown Princess's surname is Zhou, and her maiden name is Ying. She is the daughter of a second-rank official. Her ancestors also had people who enjoyed the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

I heard that the Crown Princess is as beautiful as a flower, talented and dignified. She is the wife chosen by the Queen for the Crown Prince. The wedding is scheduled for the beginning of next year."

"Well, the queen loves the prince very much, doesn't she?"

Huilan didn't know much about the relationship between the queen and the prince, and the original owner didn't know anything about it at all.

Qiu Yun glanced around, picked up the teapot on the small coffee table, gave her a cup of tea, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "The prince's biological mother is Lin Meiren, who relies on the queen. She was favored because of her beauty, but it was difficult to give birth.

And died.

The Queen's biological son fell ill and passed away, and she raised the Crown Prince. Our Crown Prince has been smart, hard-working and studious since he was a child. He was raised by the Queen. At a time when the court needed to stabilize the border situation, he was elected as the Crown Prince five years ago."

Qiuyun's voice was thin and weak, but Huilan heard it clearly, and there was a lot of information hidden in it.

"Isn't the queen's family powerful?"

Huilan narrowed her eyes slightly and went over Qiu Yun's words in her heart.

"That's right, the current left prime minister, Ma Xiangye, is the queen's mother and biological grandfather."

Qiuyun smiled and pointed out.

"I see. They were raised by their own hands, so their relationship must be very close."

"The prince has a cold personality and has been stable and introverted since he was a child. It is not good for the Ma family to get too close to the prince, lest others say that they are forming a clique for personal gain."

Qiuyun actually saw clearly.

Huilan opened her eyes and glanced at her meaningfully, "How did you get into the palace? Is there anyone in the family who is an official?"

It's really impressive that this little palace lady knows so much.

Qiu Yun lowered his head slightly, "It's not like anyone in the family is an official, my aunt is a fifth-rank palace minister.

My mother died early, and my father married the stepmother and could not tolerate me, so I begged my aunt to enter the palace, and my aunt took pity on me and chose me as a tea palace maid."

Huilan raised her eyebrows at her, but she didn't expect that she had accidentally picked up a treasure. Shang Gong, usually only those who have worked for more than ten years are qualified to be Shang Gong, and they are very knowledgeable about all matters in the palace.

"Well, it would be unfair for you to be the maid of honor here."

"I'm not aggrieved. When Eunuch Chang was choosing a candidate, my aunt took the initiative to ask me to come. She said you were smart.

If you can put people from Li Liangdi's family into solitary confinement, punish Hong Ling, and keep the Li family silent and not take revenge, you are a capable person. Only by following you as a slave can you save your life."

Qiuyun raised her chin proudly, obviously she thought she was very lucky to be able to come to Huilan's Qinghui Garden.

This attitude also infected Huilan, who smiled and said, "Since your aunt trusts me so much, I naturally can't live up to her hard work and do my best.

If you are loyal, I will not leave you alone. If I have meat to eat, you can all eat meat. If I die, you will only seek happiness and go your separate ways."

Huilan is a person who protects her shortcomings. As long as she does things seriously and sincerely contributes to her, she will remember your good deeds and will not leave her companions behind easily.

"Thank you, Master, for your trust."

"How long does it take for the prince to pay his respects to the queen?"

"I usually go there when I have something to do. Usually it's the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The queen likes to be quiet, so she greets the concubines in the harem on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year."

There is something in Qiu Yun's words, and the gongs and drums have to be listened to.

Huilan thought about it in her mind. It seemed that the relationship between the prince and the queen was mutual use. There would be no problem for the time being. Their interests were consistent and they would not fall out easily.

"How are the prince's brothers? I haven't seen them and don't know much about them. Please tell me carefully."

Huilan needed to understand the situation in the harem and how many sons the emperor had, whether they could threaten the prince.

"The emperor currently has three concubines, namely Concubine Hui of the Lin family, Concubine Li of the Wu family, and Concubine Hua of the Xu family.

The three concubines all gave birth to princes. Concubine Hui gave birth to the eldest prince Li Chenghao and the third prince Li Chengdong;

Concubine Li gave birth to the second prince Li Chengzhi and the eldest princess Li Yanran;

Concubine Hua gave birth to the fourth prince Li Chenggeng.

Qian Shuyi gave birth to the fifth prince Li Chengqian.

The prince is ranked sixth, and his biological mother is Lin Meiren.

Sun Fangyi gave birth to the eighth prince Li Chengan and the second princess Li Mingxue;

Zhao Caisheng gave birth to the seventh prince Li Chengxue and the third princess Li Yilan.

Currently, only the first six princes, including the prince, can go to court to observe, namely the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince."

Huilan nodded after hearing this. The relationship between princes born from the same mother would be closer. It seems that the prince's position is not too stable. There are many competitors, especially the three concubines' natal families should not be underestimated.

"I know, good girl, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't know all these things."

Huilan smiled at Qiuyun, and just wanted to understand it, to avoid breaking taboos in front of the prince.

Qiu Yun smiled sweetly and shook his head, "Master, you are so polite. There is basically no slave who doesn't know what you want to know."

"Well, you're the inquisitor, little clever guy. I'll have to rely on you to find out the information in the future. Your sister Dingxiang can't do this."
