The banquet dispersed after the banquet. The next day, Huilan went to Cining Palace to coax the Queen Mother. After entering the house, she greeted her first. The Queen Mother ignored her and got up by herself.

He personally poured a cup of tea and served it, "My concubine, Ding, apologizes to the Queen Mother."

"What mistake did you make?"

The Queen Mother glanced at her and snorted.

"This concubine falsely conveyed the instructions from the empress and came here to plead guilty."

"Well, you know, I'm getting bolder and bolder."

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and tapped her hard on the head, hating that iron could not turn into steel.

Huilan pulled her sleeves and shook her coquettishly, "Oh! Madam, I really have no choice. You also know how twisted the Crown Princess is. If we really let her make a scene, all this hard work will be in vain. It also makes the Emperor feel that His Highness

There is no room for brothers. His Highness has always said that it must be the salt merchant who caused the trouble, and it is definitely not his brother who did it. He cannot and cannot do it.

Do you think you can still keep this uproar? How will this end? His Highness said that the emperor is about to celebrate his full birthday. He cannot make his biological father unhappy because of such a big thing, let alone because of it.

This little thing makes me sad, but he’s fine anyway, so let’s forget about it.”

Huilan apologized sincerely, and then took the opportunity to express her grievances to Li Chengze, say nice words, and show her filial piety. Originally, this should be the responsibility of the princess, and it was not her turn to speak, but Zhou Ying couldn't count on him if he didn't take the responsibility.

The Queen Mother sighed and patted her hand, with a loving look on her face, "You are a good child, with a clear heart, sensible and measured. Since you understand in your heart, please help the Ai family to persuade the prince. Sometimes a disadvantage is a blessing, that's right.

How to be a family member is naturally a matter of course, and there are always difficulties."

"What you said is true. Listen to you."

Huilan sighed, she had no choice but to try her best to get some benefits for herself.

"Ai Jia likes your character. No matter what kind of adversity you are in, you can try your best to work hard to make yourself better off. You never feel sorry for yourself. You are suitable for this man-eating palace. Keep your heart and you will be lucky.

It’s at the back.”

"Thank you for loving me. I know your Majesty is good to me. That's why I have so much face. Lan'er is grateful to you."

Huilan was truly grateful. This had nothing to do with her status. This old man didn't want anything for himself, but just wanted to do something for his grandson. Others could make those medical patches, so it didn't have to be hers.

"Silly boy, tell the Aijia what fun things you did in Yangzhou and what interesting food you ate. Let the Aijia also open their eyes."

"Let me tell you that I have brought you a lot of stuff. I got them all from the market. Some of them are quite useful.

Also, this set of jewelry was chosen for you. It is made of rubies, but the workmanship is made with old craftsmanship. I thought it was particularly suitable for you when I saw it. I also bought this roll of orchid purple printed material for you, Tianlue

When it’s cold, it’d be nice to wear a skirt.”

Huilan was like a happy oriole, chattering about interesting things outside. Her little mouth was particularly good at talking, and her words were lively and interesting, which made the Queen Mother laugh.

The gifts were not valuable, but each one was novel and interesting. It looked like they had been personally selected and carefully considered, which made Her Majesty very happy.

In the end, Huilan coaxed the Queen Mother to forget about the false oral message. Until she fell asleep by chanting sutras, she did not think of punishing her or giving her a warning.

Before leaving, Huilan gave some medical patches, ointments, fruit wine and other things to the eldest palace maid, Peony, and said, "Mudan, these are for the Queen Mother. I have put a note on them and marked them. You can just give them to the Queen Mother for use."

This balm is for wiping my face. I made it myself, and I also made the makeup powder from pollen. Every time I come back, I have to have a few sisters and grandmas to take care of me. I’m really embarrassed, so I made some little things for everyone.

, you divide it up, don’t despise it.”

"How dare you think that Ding Liangdi is looking up to us like this? We are slaves and it is our duty to serve our master. It is our great honor to make our master care about us."

Peony quickly thanked her on behalf of the other maids. The maid from Cining Palace was very good at talking and behaving.

"Sisters also work hard on weekdays. If you don't mind it, I can find you a good marriage in front of the Queen Mother. Even if things don't work out, Aunt Yan will still be there."

The girl who serves tea at Cining Palace cannot be underestimated because she has many connections behind her to give her face.

"Thank you, Master Ding. I will remember this. Don't worry. The Queen Mother treats the slaves very well."

Mudan kept these words in mind. She was not willing to leave the palace to get married, but the Queen Mother was old and she had to think about her future as soon as possible. Ding could really help.

A wise man speaks with less effort, so Huilan smiled and left.

Naturally, there is a purpose for wooing the palace maids who are about to reach their age in Cining Palace. These palace maids have top-notch abilities and connections. To put it bluntly, they are qualified to be a minister. They can definitely cultivate their connections and make plans for the future.

Back at Qinghui Garden, Nanny Yan stepped forward and said, "Master, the Crown Princess of Yongning Palace wants you to hand over the account books."

"Where's Your Highness? Did you tell me to hand it over?"

Li Chengze had just come back these past two days and was very busy, so he didn't have time to come over.

"No, I asked Xiao Yuanzi to go find Chang Ji and ask, but the other end was pressing hard."

"Who has been here?"

"Jade face."

Huilan paused for a moment before revealing a naughty smile, "Qiu Yun."

"My slave is here."

"Go and report to the Crown Princess. His Highness has said that he will still let me hold the palace rights. Let the Crown Princess rest well and recuperate her body so that she can give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible."

"Ah, then the Crown Princess will tear me apart."

Qiuyun raised his head and blinked his beautiful big eyes.

"It's worthless, are you going?"

Huilan glared at her, "My momentum has been destroyed by you."

"Go ahead, I'll go, you can rest assured to complete the task."

Qiuyun walked away again.

Aunt Yan asked with some confusion: "You don't want to hand over the palace power?"

"Before, I didn't want to take care of it because I disliked the trouble. Now she takes the initiative and I'm not happy to give it to her. Why do you pass the responsibility to others if you don't want it? If you want the benefits, just take them all away. What good things are you thinking about? Don't give them.

."

Now that the prince has made contributions and his position has become more stable, why are you here to seize the palace power?

Huilan is also a little angry. When you first got married, the prince was still in a lot of troubles. You didn't help at all and you only focused on being jealous. Now that there is no shortage of heirs in the East Palace, and the position is secure, you have come to take the palace power. I am disgusted.

saliva.

"It's indeed a bit ugly when the Crown Princess eats her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't give it to her. It will be difficult for the women in the harem to live alone if they don't take the power of the palace."

"With these words, I will decide the palace rights."

Huilan raised her chin slightly, "If you come and grab it, I won't give it to you."

After a while, Chang Ji came back with Li Chengze.

"I'm back. Are you tired? I've made some sour plum soup to relieve the heat. Do you want a drink?"

Huilan stepped forward to greet him with a warm smile.

"Okay, let's have a drink. The heat is killing me. I haven't stopped sweating. I have to drink a lot of water."

"I asked someone to make some cold noodles in the evening, paired with some refreshing vegetables and sauces."
