Le Chuan nodded as if he understood, and then said nothing more, following Jiang Yishu silently.

When the Queen heard about the marriage, her face darkened instantly. "The Emperor didn't even tell me about such a big thing, and directly issued an order to grant the marriage. Does he still want me to be the Queen?"

The queen stood up and cleared everything off the table. Then, with a fierce look in her eyes, she said, "Go and summon Liu Yueru to the palace for me. Tell her that I want to eat the snacks she made. Ask her to make some and send them to the palace."

"Yes." Redwood was waiting carefully beside the Queen. Upon hearing the Queen's order, he immediately set out to pass on the message.

The Queen looked at Hongshan's back as he left, and suddenly thought of something, and then said, "By the way, ask Madam Liu to bring some clothes to change into and come to the palace to accompany me and relieve my boredom."

"Yes."

Redwood went out.

Soon, someone in the palace passed the message out. Rong Mama was an old lady beside the Queen. She stood in the main hall of the Liu Mansion and said to Liu Yueru condescendingly, "The Queen wants to eat the cakes made by Madam Liu recently. Please come with me to the palace and make some snacks for the Queen."

Liu Zhengtang naturally understood that the Queen would not allow the marriage of Xie Jingrui and Liu Yueru to go through so easily.

"If the Queen wants to eat, why don't you sit here and wait for a while? I'll make it now and you can bring it back with you when you go back?" Liu Zhengtang said.

Rong Mama ignored him, her voice filled with displeasure. "The Queen wants to eat what Madam Liu made, which is a gift to her. The food that the Queen wants to eat must be freshly cooked. If it is brought back and forth like this, it will lose its original taste. Madam Liu should just follow me into the palace."

Liu Zhengtang wanted to say something, but Liu Yueru stepped forward and spoke to Rong Mama first, "Then please wait here for a moment, Rong Mama. I will pack my clothes and go into the palace with you."

Seeing that Liu Yueru was so tactful, Madam Rong nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Zhengrang made an excuse to leave with Liu Yueru.

When they were far away from Rong Mama, Liu Zhengtang spoke worriedly, "The Queen must be worried about your marriage with the prince. This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet. If you go directly into the palace like this, Yue'er, I'm afraid it will not be good."

Liu Yueru lowered her eyelashes, knowing full well that the Queen's real intention was not just about the wine, but some other purpose.

"If I refuse to go to the palace, it will only make the Queen more certain of her suspicions. Even if I can avoid it this time, I will definitely look for other opportunities in the future."

Liu Yueru stopped and looked at Liu Zhengtang with a determined look in her eyes, "Father, if we can't avoid it, we must face it head-on and not be a deserter. This is what you have always taught us."

Liu Zhengtang's face was solemn. What the Queen was most afraid of was the throne.

Even if they stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, I'm afraid the Queen will not believe them now.

Liu Zhengtang withdrew his thoughts and warned worriedly, "Yue'er, be careful when you go there. Don't eat anything in the palace casually, especially those handed by servants you haven't seen before. Most of the concubines in the palace have their own thoughts and have people supporting them behind the scenes."

"Father, if you really can't think of a way, tell the prince to go to the palace and ask the queen for the person, and say that it was the maid in the mansion who wanted to teach me the rules of the mansion." Liu Yueru lowered her voice and said to Liu Zhengtang.

Liu Zhengtang thought about it, instantly understood the meaning, and then laughed.

Watching Liu Yueru enter the yard, Liu Zhengtang quickly pointed to a trusted servant and went to the palace to tell Xie Jingrui the news.

Madam Rong sat in the front hall and looked around the Liu Mansion quietly. The whole room was filled with the scent of books. In the middle hung a bow used by people from several generations, with blood on it from killing others.

The Liu family is a wealthy family with half of them being civil officials and half being military officials. So far, Liu Fufeng's generation is still considered to be one of the most meritorious.

If no one is willing to work together to overthrow them, I am afraid their current status may continue for many generations.

Madam Rong thought of something and the smile on her face turned a little colder.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. As the saying goes, the moon is full and then it wanes, the water is full and then it overflows. The connection between the Liu Mansion and the Prince Jin Mansion is to push them to a higher level.

The Liu Mansion has a large number of troops, and so does the Prince Jin's Mansion?

The emperor is most afraid of those who hold military power.

Liu Zhengtang hurried back from the backyard and saw that Rong Mama had been standing in front of the bow without him noticing.

At this time, Liu Yueru also packed up her things and rushed to the front hall.

She said to Madam Rong in a gentle voice, "Madam, let's go."

Madam Rong glanced at Liu Yueru indifferently.

The voice was somewhat displeased; "There are many servants in the palace, Liu Niang only needs to bring a maid with her, so as to avoid making a fool of herself in the palace due to too many people."

Liu Yueru's eyes fell sharply on Rong Mama. Although she was the madam beside the Queen, "The Liu Mansion is a wealthy family, and the training of servants has always been strict. Madam, don't worry."

Madam Rong snorted coldly, "I hope that what Madam Liu said is true, but for the safety of the queen in the palace, Madam Liu should bring fewer servants."

Liu Yueru did not argue much with Rong Mama. She specifically asked Lixia to go into the palace with her, and then left with Rong Mama.

As soon as she arrived at the palace, Liu Yueru was casually arranged to stay in a side courtyard. Before she could stay for a moment, Rong Mama urged Liu Yueru to go to the dining hall.

Lixia's face looked a little bad, but she saw the look Liu Yueru gave her.

He did not dare to cause trouble in the palace and could only endure the matter silently.

When they arrived at the kitchen, the imperial kitchen was empty. Liu Yueru gave Lixia a look.

Then, she asked Rong Mama in confusion, "Does the Queen have any dietary restrictions?"

"The Queen has invited many concubines to a banquet in her palace today. The Queen has no dietary restrictions, but Concubine De doesn't like sour food, Concubine Hui doesn't like sweet food, and Concubine Hui likes sweets..."

Aunt Rong said a lot.

Finally, he reminded Liu Yueru meaningfully, "Also, Huipin's desserts should be made separately for Her Majesty, as she has been craving for sweets lately."

After saying those words, Rong Mama turned and left. When she stood at the door, she said to Liu Yueru, "Hurry up, I'll go to the Queen Mother and tell her a message, and I'll be back soon."

When Aunt Rong saw her nod, she left.

Lixia's face darkened instantly. "Madam, they are deliberately trying to embarrass you. There is no imperial kitchen without a kitchen helper. How long will it take you to prepare snacks for so many people?"

Liu Yueru placed her index finger on her lips and warned in a low voice, "Be careful, the walls may have ears!"

She quickly searched for information about Huipin in her mind. She remembered that in her previous life, she learned about Huipin in late autumn. Huipin died because of overeating sweets. In the end, it was discovered that she was pregnant with a dragon heir. Could it be...
