Wan nodded and looked at He Changan behind him with gratitude.

He Changan nodded and retreated with a smile.

The bright moon was in the sky. On the first night after leaving the palace, Hua Chun slept very sweetly and didn't even have a dream.

He Chang'an stood in the garden, behind him was Huo Zichong, the imperial guard.

"Recommend Lu Sanbian to the emperor." He said, "The rest is nothing."

Huo Zichong bowed and said, "The Lord means that you and the Empress should try to minimize going out."

"I can guarantee her safety. What's wrong with going out?" Looking back at him, He Changan had a slight displeasure in his eyes: "It would be fine if he was locked in the palace before, but now he finally came out, so he still had to look at the sky in all directions?"

"…The humble position is just to convey the emperor's meaning."

"I understand." He Changan took a deep breath and rubbed his eyebrows: "You can go back early."

"yes."

He looked up at the Marquis of Gongyu, and Huo Zi turned around and walked out.

The Marquis was still as gentle as jade, and his side face looked as beautiful as a mortal in the moonlight. But for some reason, he always felt that the attitude of the Marquis of the Yu toward the Emperor was different from before.

Is it because of Huapin?

The Jade Marquis is so important to the emperor. If you really make a fuss because of a woman... it would be worth it.

Hua Chun slept very well, but the one in the palace had not been asleep for a night and sat in the Zichen Palace to change the letter.

"Emperor." Eunuch Qin said worriedly: "You'd better sleep for a while?"

"I'm not sleepy."

" Staying up late is harmful to your body, even if you close your eyes and rest."

"You go and change the palace lantern, it's too dark."

"……yes."

No matter how much he persuaded him, Eunuch Qin still couldn't help but miss Hua Concubine. It would be great if she was there, and she would be able to force him to sleep with the emperor's dark face.

Except for her, no one in the palace has the courage to do so.

Sighing, Eunuch Qin changed the palace lanterns, and then watched the emperor stay asleep all night and processed all the notes on the table.

At dawn, he asked tentatively: "Why, let Huapin return to the palace earlier?"

Yuwen Jie looked at him for no reason: "Why?"

This tone and expression seemed to be that all his abnormal behaviors had nothing to do with Huapin. Eunuch Qin was confused. Didn’t the emperor feel so depressed because Huapin is not there? He guessed wrongly?

"Slaves talk too much."

"Prepare to go to court for me." The emperor said: "It's time."

"yes."

As soon as Prince Xi left, the civil and military officials in the court became much quieter. No one dared to jump out to challenge the emperor's bottom line at any time. They were all silent like hibernating in advance.

Tang Yue had adapted to the position of prime minister and his relationship with the court officials began to get closer, but he could help the emperor a lot. But for some reason, Yuwen Jie still felt that something was missing in the court.

"Emperor, Li Zhongtang has been recuperating at home for a long time, and it is time for him to return to the court." Someone reported: "Zhongtang is still blaming himself, afraid that the emperor will not be relieved, so he dare not go to court."

This is pure nonsense. Li Ji's failure to attend court was clearly because the emperor did not give him a step, so he was embarrassed to lick his face and come back by himself. Now that Prince Xi has left, and the emperor has acted to undermine his power, he will make people persuade him.

Yuwen Jie glanced at the man and said, "Li Zhongtang is old and it is time to retire and return home."

All the officials below were shocked and had different thoughts. Tang Yue stood up and bowed: "I am just trying to report this to the emperor today. Many old ministers in the court are nearly 70 years old. If they are asked to work hard for the country, it will be unkind. Therefore, the important officials in the nearly 70 years old, including Li Zhongtang, think that the emperor should give a reward and let them enjoy their old age."

General Meng immediately stood up and opposed: "I am getting stronger and stronger. Although I am older, my loyalty to the emperor has not diminished at all. I only want to be loyal to the emperor until he is buried. Please give it a clear example."

"I can understand your loyalty." Yuwen Jie said lightly: "But at such an old age, it is indeed not suitable for work. I will discuss this with the Queen Mother and give you another result to all the beloved ministers."

When discussing with the Empress Dowager, would anyone else say that? The Empress Dowager must support the emperor, so would all the veterans in the court be removed from their official hats?

He was extremely unhappy. General Meng went to Li Zhongtang's mansion at once, and together with the old ministers, he gathered together to complain.

"The emperor is so unkind, so no wonder we are." Li Zhongtang said: "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, we should join forces and oppose the emperor's behavior of killing donkeys."

This statement was unanimously recognized by everyone, and they nodded one after another, and the old man with gray hair began to secretly discuss the solution.

When He Chang'an got off the court, Hua Chun was released for a walk again.

"The weather is good today, but it seems winter is coming soon." Hua Chun said: "It's starting to be cold."

He Changan nodded and pointed to a cloth shop in front of him: "That is the best cloth shop in the capital. Do you want to buy some winter clothes?"

"Okay." Hua Chun passed by happily.

There are naturally many women selling fabrics. She was choosing when she heard the ladies behind her gossiping.

"Hey, will your girl be sent to the palace next year?"

"Where do you have to wait for next year? It's time to recruit a girl this winter. Otherwise, why would I be so anxious to buy her clothes?"

"I heard that there are many beauties in the palace, so don't worry about your girl going to break into the dragon's and tiger's den?"

"My girl is not bad. Besides, haven't you heard of it? The most favored concubine Shu in the palace is not very good-looking, and she won't still be successful?"

As Hua Chun listened, the smile on her face disappeared little by little. He Changan frowned, reached out and pulled her wrist, and took her out.

"I haven't chosen yet."

"Let me go back and let me send the materials to the Marquis' Mansion for you to choose." He Chang'an said: "Some words will be unhappy when you hear them, so don't listen."

Shrugged, Hua Chun said, "It's not that you are unhappy, it's just a little disgusting."

"What's wrong with it?"

"When people like someone very much, will they really turn around and favor others?" she asked seriously.

He Changan was silent for a while and said, "The emperor has lived such a life since he was a child. Even if he really likes you, he still has to favor others. Otherwise, your favor is too heavy and will harm you sooner or later."

With a lip silence, Hua Chun said, "He's better for me?"

"Although I really want to provoke discord." He Changan smiled: "But the truth is, it is indeed for your own good."

After pissing his mouth for a while, Hua Chun sighed: "I want to stay in the Hou's Mansion for a while."

"Okay." He Chang'an said: "As long as you want, leave the rest of the matter to your second brother."

"Thank you, second brother!" Hua Chun smiled again, feeling that it was great to have an older brother. Unfortunately, she is an only child in modern times. Now she can experience such a brother who has something to do, and it feels great to eat candy behind her back.

However, out of gratitude, Hua Chun decided to do something to repay others.

So she bought a lot of vegetables and meat and threatened to go back to cook.

Qingniao, who was following behind, turned green and pulled her and said, "You are really here?"

"What's wrong?" Hua Chun said: "Marquis of Yu is so good, I have to do something to express my gratitude, right?"

"As far as I know, the only thing you can cook is fried rice with eggs and instant noodles." Qingniao looked at her with a complicated expression: "Do you know how much salt you need to add to cook?"

"There is a first time in everything." Hua Chun said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, let's explore together."

And exploring... Qing Niu suddenly felt extremely sympathetic to the Marquis of Chaoyu. It would be fine if he was tortured by emotions, but now he would even be tortured by others in his stomach.

However, He Changan didn't know Hua Chun's actual level, and even looked forward to it. He didn't eat much at noon for this supper.

Hua Chun pulled Qingniao to fight in the kitchen for an afternoon, and the things she brought out were actually quite like that, at least they were not very bad in appearance.

Wan looked at her with relief: "I didn't expect that you wouldn't let you learn cooking skills since childhood, and you still have talent."
