Today's weather was just right, and the snow stopped early. The palace servants of Qianyue Palace cleaned the yard, and hung the red paper flowers that had been cut all night on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. is good looking.

Han Qianzhui first went to the Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and then went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to greet the Emperor Yu and the Imperial Concubine.

No matter how much Emperor Yu didn't like Han Qianzhui, he still talked a lot on his birthday, all he wanted him to do was keep his own place, stay in his own palace when he had nothing to do, please be kind to the Empress Dowager. Save as much as you can, copy more scriptures, pray for his mother and brother, and chant scriptures.

The imperial concubine blew the wind beside Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yu remembered that he wanted to give Han Qian a reward. He frowned tightly, and his dislike for Han Qian chase had already surfaced on his face. He saw a water dragon inkstone on his desk, pointed to the inkstone, and said, "Take that inkstone away, I use it very comfortably, take it and copy scriptures."

As Emperor Yu paused, he added: "Later, I will ask Zhao Anzai to send something to Qianyue Palace. Don't think that I don't love you, but now that Yu State is facing a snowstorm, most of the treasury is in taels of silver. They were all used for disaster relief, and I am living a tight life now."

Han Qianzhui responded obediently to Emperor Yu. With his eyes slightly lowered, he imitated his little daughter's posture very much, and even his voice was as gentle as water, and said, "You don't have to pay attention to my son. Jewelry, it's just that my son loves to read a lot these days, and I often immerse myself in it when reading, if my father can lend me the "Tiangong" written by Mr. Jiuli to copy, my son will be very grateful."

Emperor Yu wanted to send Han Qianzhui away quickly, but he felt bored when he saw this child.

So he waved his hand, called Zhao An, and asked Zhao An to pick up the book "Heavenly Craftsmanship" in the study. There are a total of eighteen chapters in three volumes, all of which were handed over to Han Qianzhui.

After getting the book he was thinking about, Han Qianzhui couldn't put it down, and he didn't want to stay in this place for a second, he got up and saluted and was about to leave, when suddenly Concubine Xiao Huang, who had been echoing Emperor Yu, stopped him.

"Qian Zhui, why are you so patronizing to ask your father for something, why don't you ask your lady Zhao for it? Lady Zhao has already prepared your birthday gift in the year of birth." Xiao Huangguifei's title is Zhao, But most people in the palace call her imperial concubine, and the title is only mentioned on formal occasions.

Han Qianzhui sneered in his heart, concubine Xiao Huanggui usually tried every means to humiliate herself, would she prepare gifts for herself?

"Thank you for the kindness of the imperial concubine." Han Qianzhui said still calmly.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui clapped her hands, and several young maids came forward upon hearing the sound, all holding brocade clothes and jewelry in their hands.

"Your sister Huayang also has these things. I will not treat you badly. If your sister has them, you will have them too." Xiao Huangguifei said with a smile, but the absurdity did not reach her eyes.

Han Qian chased and thanked Concubine Xiao Huanggui, and brought these little maids back to Qianyue Palace.

From Yangxin Palace back to Qianyue Palace, you have to go through the largest palace road in the palace. There are many palace people coming and going on the palace road. They all saw Han Qianzhui carrying a lot of brocade clothes and jewelry in one hand. When they met the masters, they had to kneel down and couldn't look directly at them, so they all whispered and muttered after Han Qianzhui walked away.

"Our princess has been rewarded by the imperial concubine again."

"Princess Huayang's birthday a few days ago was not as valuable as these things he got. In fact, thinking about it carefully, the imperial concubine is also very kind to him."

"Hey, what's the use of being good to him? I heard that he sued in front of the empress dowager, saying that the empress dowager treated her concubine harshly, causing her to be reprimanded by the empress dowager. But you see, the empress dowager not only He didn't get angry about it, and gave him so many gifts, which really gave him enough face."

"If I was treated like this, I wouldn't give him good fruit. I'm not my child. What should I do to give him that face."

Today, it was Lan Luo who followed Han Qian to pay his respects. Lan Luo never listened to these words, but she still suppressed her anger and waited until she returned to Qianyue Palace and the concubine Xiao's concubine's concubine had left. cry.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying?" Lan Ying stored all the things that the imperial concubine Xiao gave to her in the warehouse, and when she came out, she saw her good sister Lan Luo squatting on the ground crying with pear blossoms and rain.

Han Qianzhui also squatted beside her, he sighed faintly, and while reaching out to pat Lan Luo's back lightly, he said helplessly: "On the way back, Lan Luo heard those palace officials gossip It's..."

"Lan Luo, don't cry, what are they chewing on?" Lan Ying put down her work, and squatted beside Lan Luo to comfort her, "Let them talk, isn't it good for us to live our lives? "

Lan Luo suddenly turned around and hugged Han Qianzhui, and said, "Princess, aren't you angry when they say that about you? They obviously don't know anything, so they just open their mouths and talk nonsense, the imperial concubine treats you well? Where are you?" Alright? Really blind!"

"Lan Luo, don't cry, think about it, do normal palace people dare to say that in front of their master?" Han Qianzhui hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a light smile, "The voice is still so loud, you said it wasn't intentional?" Do you believe me?"

Hearing this, Lan Luo was stunned for a moment, with wet tears on her face, she blinked her watery eyes a few times, she thought about it carefully, the voice of the palace maid on the palace road was really loud, like As if on purpose to be heard.

Lan Luo sniffed, blinked her eyes, and said, "Then...then what do you mean..."

Han Qianzhui nodded and said: "Anyway, those palace people must have been ordered to do this, otherwise, forgive them if they have a hundred guts and dare not speak nonsense in front of me, even if I am not favored by the emperor anymore , but the imperial grandmother prefers me, they dare not."

"Princess, then you..." Lan Luo asked cautiously, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Lan Ying." Han Qianzhui called Lan Ying's name, he stood up and gently brushed the snow on the corner of his skirt, "You go to the eunuch named Xiao Dezi in the Imperial Garden and tell him about this matter. He, you don't need to worry about the future, someone will take care of those palace servants who don't distinguish between high and low."

Lan Ying nodded, and then went out.

As soon as Hu Yanzhen went out, he saw Han Qianzhui standing with his hands behind his back. For some reason, he always felt that the temperament of the girl was different from the past, but he couldn't tell what was different. Indifference appropriate to her age.

"Okay, don't cry, help me in, it's really cold today." Han Qianzhui pulled Lan Luo up, and with Lan Luo's support, he walked into the main hall to keep warm.

Lan Ying came back not long after going out here. Lan Luo and Xiao Cui and the palace servants from Qianyue Palace went to the kitchen to cook a table of delicacies. Chase and sit down together.

"Princess, I wish you a happy birthday. This is a sachet made by my own hands. I hope that although it is a little simple, it is a little wish from my servant. I hope the princess likes it."

"Princess, princess, this is the fox mask brought back from outside the palace by the servant. I heard that children of your age outside the palace like this thing, so the servant specially gave it to the princess. I hope the princess will be happy."

"Princess, I don't have anything to give you as a gift. I learned how to make palace flowers from my aunt who can make palace flowers a few days ago. Princess, please see if it looks good."

The courtiers of Qianyue Palace presented their prepared gifts to Han Qianzhui one by one, and Han Qianzhui accepted them one by one, and even put the velvet flowers they made by themselves on his head, expressing that he liked it very much.

Later, Zhao An, who was beside Emperor Yu, came to present Emperor Yu's reward. There were many large and small items, and they were not particularly expensive after a closer look. Most of them were brocade clothes and jewellery, as well as a few scriptures and ink. .

"Thank you, Manager Zhao, please express my gratitude to the emperor." Han Qianzhui took a bag of silver from Lan Ying's hand and handed it to Zhao An while talking, "It's so late to disturb the manager ,I'm really sorry."

Zhao An didn't refuse, he took the money, put it in his pocket, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Where is the princess, this is what a servant should do. A servant should behave like a servant, Unlike the Dequan next to the fifth prince, he pushed you in the imperial garden a few days ago, didn't he? Today the emperor found out, and he was angry. The imperial concubine said that he should rectify it, and the emperor Yu ordered to cut it down. Dequan's two hands were taken, the rod was fifty, and he was thrown into Xinzheku to do hard labor."

"What about the other princes?" Han Qian asked.

Zhao An was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "The emperor doesn't care about the princes, but the fifth prince cries a lot. He has a good relationship with Dequan. You have to be careful. The fifth prince relies on his mother's Wang Zhaorong, I will definitely make things difficult for you."

Afterwards, Zhao An said everything he should have said, so he found an excuse and quickly retreated.

Han Qianzhui went back to the dormitory without making a show, just told the palace servants to finish their meal, and then sent them to sleep.

It was Lan Luo's turn to be on duty tonight, and she had just heard what Zhao An said.He squatted at Han Qianzhui's feet, worried, and said: "Princess, the imperial concubine made the fifth prince hate you!"

"I know, I already guessed what would happen when I asked Lan Ying to find Xiao Dezi." Han Qianzhui said calmly, holding the fluffy wolf cub in his arms, which made him feel warm and safe Feeling, "Father doesn't love me, but he loves his face very much. He heard that his daughter was bullied by his servants, and everyone in the palace knew about it. This made him lose face. He must not I will ignore it, so no matter how much he doesn’t like me, he must punish Dequan, lest someone say he is an incompetent father.”

"That's it..." Lan Luo looked puzzled, still a little puzzled, "The imperial concubine and the fifth prince's biological mother, Wang Zhaorong, aren't sisters? How could she... encourage the emperor to severely punish the fifth prince's close servant?"

"They are sisters, but the imperial concubine is actually very jealous of Wang Zhaorong. Wang Zhaorong is different from her. Wang Zhaorong's family background is better than hers. She has two sons. In addition to Yuying and a daughter, the imperial concubine also has a seventh prince and a son. , Do you think they can still maintain their sisterhood for the position of the crown prince?" Han Qianzhui hooked the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly.

"For the sake of the throne, the imperial concubine will try her best to get rid of all obstacles, just like she did when she framed my brother and mother." Han Qianzhui smiled with lowered eyes, "What she did was to make the fifth prince hate me and want the fifth prince to come Trouble me, the bigger the trouble, the better, and it would be best to disqualify the Fifth Prince from inheriting the throne, but ah... she didn't guess, I also planned to do so."
