Sure enough, the next day, Baoyu brought back news that she saw Liuzhu quietly go to Prince Guo's Ninghui Hall in the evening, and Prince Guo left the palace the next day.

An Lingrong nodded, and just as she was about to let her back off, she suddenly thought of something and beckoned Baoyu to come closer. She whispered to her to take some silver to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tell Huang Guiquan that whatever Wanpin wanted should be granted, and no harshness was allowed.

After all, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department in the previous life was Jiang Zhongmin. Jiang Zhongmin was grateful and repaying favors, so he approved all the charcoal and flowers that Zhen Huan asked for. However, the same could not be said for Huang Guiquan, who was always flattering the weak and looking down on the powerful. She still had to make some arrangements.

A few days later, little Mencius brought back the news that Prince Guo had brought the butterfly.

An Lingrong nodded, then asked Xiao Mengzi to pass the message to Yun Yi, asking her to find a way to get the emperor to visit her in the next two days.

The next morning, Xiao Xiazi came to inform that the emperor would come to An Lingrong's place for lunch, and asked An Lingrong to prepare. After An Lingrong stood up to thank him, she asked Baoyu to take a silver ingot to Xiao Xiazi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The Emperor has been in a bad mood these past few days."

"I understand. Thank you, eunuch."

At 1 p.m., a voice was heard from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I haven't been here for a long time. Let me see the children." Then he came to the cradle. The three children could stand up now. When the three little people saw their father coming, they stood up by the fence and excitedly called the emperor father.

"Haha, did you miss your father?" The emperor smiled and teased the three children. He then hugged the three children one by one and weighed them.

"Well, Wenshu and Hongyun didn't feel anything, but Hongxu has gained a lot of weight."

Little Hongxu seemed to understand that his royal father said he was fat, and patted his belly unhappily.

"Haha, being able to eat is a blessing. Our Hongxu is a blessed man. Wenshu and Hongyun are the same." The emperor still knew that he had to treat everyone equally. After praising Hongxu, he also praised the other two children.

When the three children heard the emperor praising them, they laughed happily, and their newly grown teeth were exposed.

The emperor pursed his lips, then asked the wet nurse to take the three children downstairs to eat. He turned around and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: That was a close call, I almost laughed.

An Lingrong prepared coconut milk, red dates, snow clam, Ganoderma lucidum and pheasant casserole, steamed duck with rice wine and sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup for the emperor.

After the two finished their meal, An Lingrong winked at Bao He, who then brought a plate of lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake.

"I noticed that Your Majesty ate little just now. This lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake tastes sweet. Your Majesty, please try it."

The emperor nodded, picked up a piece of sugar cake and started eating, then asked: "How is Wanpin doing recently?"

An Lingrong smiled and congratulated the emperor, saying that Zhen Huan had gotten over her heart knot.

Although the emperor was happy after hearing this, he was puzzled as to why Zhen Huan had never come to see him?

An Lingrong tilted her head slightly, and Bao Yu handed her a copy of "Thirty-Six Strategies".

"I have finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics recently, so I thought of reading some books like this to pass the time. However, I am stupid and there are a few places I don't quite understand. I wonder if Your Majesty could explain them to me?" As she said this, she opened the book and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took the book and saw the page that An Lingrong opened, which was exactly the one of the Thirty-Six Strategies of Strategies: Playing Hard to Get.

The emperor looked up and exchanged glances with An Lingrong, then he understood. He happily explained the Thirty-Six Strategies to An Lingrong.

Before leaving, he patted An Lingrong's hand and said, "Rong'er is very pleasing to my heart."

"I serve the emperor. This is my duty."

After the Emperor left the Yanx Palace, although he knew that his Huan'er was playing hard to get, he also wanted to see what surprise Zhen Huan had prepared for him, so he arranged for someone to secretly inquire.

The news that the young eunuch brought back was that two days ago, Prince Guo brought a jar of butterflies from Changping Palace and gave it to Concubine Wan.

The emperor was very happy to know that his own Huan'er wanted to surprise him with a butterfly, but after being happy, he suddenly realized that it was Prince Guo who helped her get it. He also remembered that when Zhen Huan had a miscarriage, Prince Guo held Zhen Huan tightly. The emperor's happiness was immediately reduced by half.

An Lingrong's face changed instantly after the emperor left. Baoyu quickly picked up the lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake on the table and gave it to the servants. Finally, he brought a plate of peach blossom cakes.

"Your Majesty, this is your favorite peach blossom pastry." Then he brought a cup of tea for An Lingrong to rinse her mouth.

An Lingrong rinsed her mouth in annoyance, picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry and put it in her mouth: Well, peach blossom pastry is still delicious. The lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake is very sweet, so sweet that it makes people feel sick.
