Cao Qinmo was outmaneuvered by Zhen Huan and was at a disadvantage. She could only smile and look at the emperor:

"Your Majesty, look, Sister Wan knows how to joke."

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "It was Sister Cao who joked with me first, and I just responded by saying no to her."

"I'm just having fun, please don't blame me, sister."

Cao Qinmo had no choice but to go along with it and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that she failed to sow discord, Cao Qinmo stopped talking.

Several people watched the emperor and Prince Guo riding horses and shooting arrows with their own thoughts.

Originally, the emperor intended to take Zhen Huan for a ride on horseback, but the clothes Zhen Huan was wearing were not suitable, so he had to give up.

When they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, the emperor mentioned that the "Xue Ding Han Cui" they were drinking was obtained by Prince Guo with great effort.

Zhen Huan thought to herself, why can't the Emperor get around Prince Guo and always mention him in everything?

Doesn't this give Cao Qinmo another opportunity to discredit him?

Yu Ying'er took a sip and said, "I also think this tea is very good, but why is it so hard to find?"

Zhen Huan said that the Snow-Topped Green Tea grows on the steep peaks in the bitter cold of the far north and is extremely difficult to pick. There are only more than ten plants in the world. Because it is nourished by snow water all year round, the tea tastes fresh and cool, so it is rare.

This time, Zhen Huan did not mention anything related to Prince Guo.

Yu Ying'er was the first to laugh and said, "The prince is really thoughtful."

The emperor continued with Yu Ying'er's words and praised Prince Guo sincerely.

Cao Qinmo was sitting nearby, peeling a grape and wanted to hand it to the emperor, but was ignored.

Cao Qinmo had long been accustomed to it. After all, the emperor had never eaten the grapes she peeled.

She looked at Zhen Huan and said jokingly:

"No wonder everyone praises my sister's beauty. Even Prince Guo couldn't take his eyes off her when he saw her today."

Then she covered her mouth with her handkerchief and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, please hide my sister well!"

Zhen Huan replied to Cao Qinmo while looking at the emperor lovingly:

"Today in Yinyue Tower, my sister's eyes were always following the emperor, so she had no time to pay attention to Prince Guo."

"I didn't expect Sister Cao to know exactly who Prince Guo was looking at..."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Cao Qinmo fell silent again.

Zhen Huan found her so hateful and ridiculous...

In her previous life, wasn't it because of Cao Qinmo's few words that she was instigated, causing the emperor to almost have a rift with her?

This time she wants to give him a taste of his own medicine.

The emperor was suspicious by nature. When he heard what Zhen Huan said, he looked at Cao Qinmo with suspicion:

"Lady Wan has been looking at me all day, why? Lady Cao has been looking at Old Seventeen?"

Cao Qinmo's eyes were flustered for a moment, and she quickly stood up and leaned forward and said: "I dare not, I just..."

"I think Sister Cao will say that she is joking with me again, but I really don't know why Sister Cao always jokes with Prince Guo."

"I'm going to say something that shouldn't be said. Today, the emperor is here, so it's fine. If the emperor is not here today, and hears such a joke from somewhere else, will the emperor be suspicious of me?"

Zhen Huan deliberately said these words in front of the emperor in order to avoid bringing up the past again in the future.

"Sister Wan, I am the one who can't speak today." Cao Qinmo hurriedly apologized to Zhen Huan:

"But that's really not what I meant. If you don't like me making such a joke, I won't make it again. Please don't take it to heart."

"Is that really the case?" The emperor looked doubtful.

"It's true." Cao Qinmo said sincerely:

"I swear that I have never had any other thoughts about any man except the emperor."

Zhen Huan realized that her goal had been achieved and did not want to waste any more words on this matter, so she smiled and looked at the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Sister Cao has already sworn an oath. Please forgive my sister for this unintentional mistake."

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Zhen Huan: "You are just too kind."

Then he looked at Cao Qinmo with a serious expression: "Okay, it's getting late. I'm sure Wen Yi is hungry too. You should go back and check on Wen Yi."

Cao Qinmo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I'll take my leave."

When she left, she gave Yu Ying'er a look.

After seeing this, Yu Ying'er tactfully left, leaving the emperor and Zhen Huan some time alone.

"Hanhuan has something to ask Silang, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Zhen Huan walked to sit beside the emperor, and the emperor took her hand and said softly, "There is no one else here now, there is nothing between you and me that cannot be said in private."

"If Silang had not learned about what happened today from Sister Cao, but had heard it by chance from somewhere else, would Silang have doubted Huanhuan?"

As Zhen Huan spoke, she turned her back like a spoiled child.

The emperor gently placed his hand on Zhen Huan's shoulder: "No matter where I heard it from, I will definitely believe my Huan Huan."

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhen Huan turned around, with a girlish innocent light in her eyes: "Really?"

"I am the emperor, my words are my bond, so I take them seriously."

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Huan Huan believes Si Lang, but Huan Huan still has something to tell Si Lang..."

"I said this to the emperor when I was in Tangquan Palace, but I want to say it again to Silang today."

The emperor loved to hear Zhen Huan say sweet words. He stroked Zhen Huan's face with his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Zhen Huan bowed and saluted: "No matter how others view the emperor, in Huan Huan's heart, the emperor is my husband, and Huan Huan will only have one husband in this life..."

"So in Huanhuan's eyes, apart from the emperor, there is no other man."

"Compared to the emperor's favor, Huanhuan hopes to gain the emperor's trust more."

Zhen Huan's words touched the emperor's heart. Apart from Chun Yuan, no other woman had ever said these words to him. How could he not be moved?

He helped Zhen Huan up with a loving look on his face: "I promise you that I will never doubt you. Huan Huan and I will always love each other without any doubt."

In the Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua, who was always afraid of heat, was becoming annoyed by the heat.

I couldn’t even have a bite of the crab roe crisps I wanted to eat.

Cao Qinmo and Yu Ying'er rushed over from the Qinzheng Palace.

Concubine Hua glanced at Cao Qinmo impatiently: "How is the matter going? Is the emperor suspicious of that bitch?"

Cao Qinmo glanced at Concubine Hua timidly: "No...no."

I don't know how, but with just a few words from Lady Wan, the blame was shifted to me, and the emperor almost suspected that I and Prince Guo were having some affair."
