Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

When Yunli saw the emperor holding Lingxi and walking towards the screen, he was horrified and quickly put Yuan Che down. He ran to the emperor in two steps and stopped him, saying with a smile:

"Brother, Lingxi likes the peacock screen. I have a new one in my storeroom. How about having someone bring it over?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor stopped, looked down at Lingxi in his arms, and asked gently:

"Lingxi, do you want this screen or a new one?"

Zhen Huan was behind the screen, too nervous to even breathe. She clenched her fists tightly, her palms sweating slightly, and her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

She knew that she was only one step away from the emperor, and if she was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Concubine Duan at the side hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over:

"Okay, Princess Lingxi, stop making trouble. I'll ask your seventeenth uncle to deliver the new peacock screen to the palace later. Come, let your mother hug you!" As she said that, she stretched out her hands to take Lingxi.

When Lingxi heard this, she stopped crying and looked at the toy in Concubine Duan's hand. A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and then she said to the emperor in a baby voice:

"Father, I want to play with Concubine Duan!"

After saying this, she broke free from the emperor's arms and threw herself towards Concubine Duan.

Zhen Huan, who was hiding behind the screen, finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she listened to the voices of Hongzhan and Lingxi, her heart seemed to be bleeding.

Those were her children, twins born after ten months of pregnancy, but now they were so close to her, yet she could never see them.

Concubine Duan was sitting next to them holding Lingxi, Hongzhan was playing with Yuanche nearby, the emperor was sitting in the upper seat, and Guojun was sitting next to them.

The two brothers chatted about family matters, and the emperor sighed:

"Your palace is deserted and you really need a mistress. Xian Fu Jin and Yu Fu Jin are both gone. You can't stay so lonely forever."

"Royal brother, my wife died not long ago, and I have no plans to get married in the next few years. Let's talk about it later!" When Yunli said this, he pretended to be affectionate and squeezed out a few tears.

"Don't be too sad, everything is destined! If you like someone, I will help you pick a few from the girls from noble families, how about that?" the emperor continued.

Yunli: "Thank you for your kindness, my brother. I cannot waste the youth of other girls. When I have figured it out, I will ask you to be my matchmaker!"

The emperor exchanged a few more pleasantries with Yunli and stood up to leave. "Well, I have been out for a while now. I have to go back today to review memorials. You should come to the palace more often to talk to me when you have time."

Yunli accompanied the emperor all the way to the gate of the palace before turning back.

Zhen Huan stood at the door and watched silently. She wiped her tears and said, "I heard the voices of Hongzhan and Lingxi. I, as a mother, feel so sorry for my child!"

Yunli walked to Zhen Huan, took her in his arms, and said affectionately:

"Huan'er, I will never let you down in this life! Give me a little more time, and I will definitely take you away."

Zhen Huan nodded. Whether she believed it or not, this was how it would be in her life.

In Tangli Palace, Shen Meimei personally took care of the Seventh Prince, with Ye Lanyi assisting him.

Xiao Yunzi came in and reported:

"My lady, Hong Fu's body has been taken away! I had someone follow her all the way and finally found the person who took the body! Who do you think it was?"

"Xiao Yunzi, tell me quickly, who is it?" Shen Meimei asked anxiously.
