"I used to think that the emperor doted on you, but I didn't expect that you actually knew the emperor so well. No wonder the emperor thinks so highly of you..." Fu Cha spoke, looking at An Lingrong.

"Of course. Do you know what our emperor loved to eat when he was a child?" An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha with a smile, picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip of tea, and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"What did the emperor like to eat when he was a child? How would I know? Do you know?" Fu Cha said with a smile and took a sip of tea.

"Since I asked you, I naturally know." An Lingrong smiled cunningly.

"What do you like to eat? Tell me..." Fu Cha put down the teacup, looking serious.

"Tanghulu." An Lingrong said with a smile and continued to sip her tea.

"Stop lying to me. Who didn't like to eat candied haws when they were a child?" Fu Cha chuckled and continued talking to An Lingrong without getting angry.

"Why would I lie to you? A few days ago, I went to the Empress Dowager's palace to deliver a copy of the Diamond Sutra. I served her some tea in Shoukang Palace. I happened to meet Lord Longkodo who came to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager didn't see him. Lord Longkodo sent two strings of candied haws, saying that they were the Emperor's favorite food when he was a child."

An Lingrong put down the teacup in her hand with a serious look on her face and said:

"You don't believe me?" He was about to tickle Fu Cha...

"Believe it, believe it, I believe you. I believe you the most...hahaha...stop it..." Fu Cha dodged while giggling, and the two of them made a lot of noise.

"My lady, Concubine Cao has left..." The two stopped playing until Juqing came up and said something.

"Is your idea feasible?" Fu Cha asked An Lingrong quietly. An Lingrong said, "Just wait and see. Although it is not a long-term solution, Ulanara will not be able to enter the palace before the end of the year..."

The two of them talked in Qianqiu Pavilion for a long time before they got up and left.

Deer Park.

Not long after Concubine Cao arrived at the Deer Garden, Concubine Duan brought Wen Yi to the Deer Garden.

"May Empress Duan live in good health..." Cao Qinmo knelt down and bowed, then looked at Wen Yi, her face full of love and longing.

"Get up." After Concubine Duan said this, Cao Qinmo stood up and took two steps forward, wanting to hug Wen Yi.

"Wen Yi, this is your Empress Cao, let Empress Cao hug her..." Concubine Duan said as she pulled Wen Yi forward with a smile on her face.

The word "Empress Cao" made Cao Qinmo secretly sad. She was Wen Yi's biological mother, but now she could only call herself Empress Cao...

"Empress Cao, how are you?" Wen Yi called out in a soft and cute voice. Cao Qinmo felt her heart melt when she heard it.

"Wen Yi is so good, come and let Empress Cao hug you..." Cao Qinmo was a flexible person. She immediately put on a smile and reached out to hug Wen Yi.

Wen Yi had seen Cao Qinmo before, and seeing that she smiled gently, she let her hug her. Cao Qinmo hugged the little person in her arms, and felt her heart bleeding. This was her daughter who she had carried for ten months, and now she couldn't even hug her often...

Cao Qinmo held Wen Yi in her arms while feeding the deer, thinking to herself: No! She must find a way to get Wen Yi back! ...

"Wen Yi, Empress Cao will get tired holding you. Wen Yi, come down and feed the deer yourself..." Concubine Duan said softly, looking at Wen Yi, who nodded sensibly.

"It's okay, Your Majesty. I'm not tired..." Cao Qinmo's face froze at first, then she put on a smile and looked at Concubine Duan.

"I know you like Wen Yi, but children should not be indulged blindly. Wen Yi is not a child anymore and needs to learn rules." After Concubine Duan finished speaking, the wet nurse took Wen Yi from Cao Qinmo's arms.

"Your Majesty is right, it is my fault..." Cao Qinmo tried hard to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, forced a faint smile and spoke.

"Do you have any good ideas for the Empress Dowager's suggestion?" Concubine Duan did not respond, but sat down on a stone bench beside her. Cao Qinmo had no choice but to follow her.

"Now that the Empress Dowager has spoken, it is hard to take it back. If you want to stop her, the only place you can start is the Emperor. But the Emperor has always been filial to the Empress Dowager, so I'm afraid he will agree even if he doesn't want to." Cao Qinmo twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand and spoke slowly.

Yes, if Cao Qinmo knew that Concubine Hua was unreliable, she would think of relying on Zhen Huan and Concubine Duan to save her own life.

But just now, she changed her mind. She wanted to take Wen Yi back, but Concubine Hua now thought that it was no longer possible. The emperor was already showing special favor by not taking her life.

If Concubine Duan's family is allowed to dominate, will Concubine Duan really do as Zhen Huan said and give Wen Yi to herself just because she has the Third Prince?

Let’s not talk about whether the Third Prince has the brain to sit in that position. Even if Concubine Duan really promotes him to that position, who wouldn’t want to have a close daughter by his side? !

Now if a Ulanara came and the Queen Mother was there to vouch for him, if he turned to her, wouldn't it be much easier to take Wen Yi back than if Concubine Duan took over? !

In this way, she had her own calculations in her mind...

"I have heard that the emperor loved to eat candied haws when he was a child. Your Majesty might as well ask someone to make some and bring them over so that you can have a good talk with the emperor..." Cao Qinmo opened her mouth and came up with an idea that was not really an idea at all.

"Who told you that?!" Upon hearing this, Concubine Duan suddenly looked up at Cao Qinmo with a cold gaze, which frightened Cao Qinmo so much that her heart trembled.

"My concubine, when I came to the Deer Garden just now, I passed by Qianqiu Pavilion and heard the Concubine Chen talking and laughing with Fu Cha. I heard it..."

Cao Qinmo hurriedly started to explain, and Concubine Duan's eyes seemed to become even colder after hearing this...

"What did they say?" Concubine Duan looked at Cao Qinmo steadily. Seeing that she looked unhappy, Cao Qinmo repeated to her what she had heard one by one.

After listening to this, Concubine Duan fell silent for a long time. She remembered clearly that when she had just entered the palace, someone bought a string of candied haws for the eldest prince Honghui. Honghui was only two years old at that time. He ate it and said it was delicious, so he said he wanted to save some for his father.

The little guy sat in the corridor and waited until it was dark. When the emperor came, he eagerly handed him the candied haws. But when the emperor saw the candied haws, he suddenly got angry and frightened Honghui so much that he fell ill for several days...

Then why did An Lingrong say that the emperor loved to eat candied haws? Did she say this unintentionally or intentionally? ...

"Empress..." Cao Qin called out, and Concubine Duan came back to her senses.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is there anything wrong?" Cao Qinmo asked hurriedly, but Concubine Duan shook her head.

Even after returning to Changchun Palace and finishing dinner, Concubine Duan was still thinking about this matter. If what An Lingrong said was true, and the emperor obviously didn't like this thing, why did Longkodo send it to the palace? ...
