After Li Chengze left, Huilan actually slept until about three o'clock in the morning, and then woke up slowly when it was already broad daylight.

Qiuyun and Dingxiang heard the noise and hurried forward and opened the bed curtain.

"Where is Your Highness?"

"I went to court and haven't come back yet. Miss, it's time to get up. It's already dawn. The prince has sent gifts to Qinghui Garden. He also gave me a beautiful screen."

"Well, let's get up."

Huilan lazily sat up and asked the two of them to change her clothes.

"Miss, you are the first person to stay overnight in the Crown Prince's bedroom. You have never done so before."

"Didn't Wang Qin also sleep with her? She just didn't stay overnight."

Huilan raised her head and opened her confused eyes and said something.

"Miss, you really don't know. This is the inner hall where the prince rests, and the attendant sleeps in the side hall next door."

Qiuyun sneered and sneered at Wang Qin.

"So that's it, then I have some face?"

Huilan doesn't quite understand the rules here either.

"Of course, this is your first time sleeping with me. Your face is very important. The people below don't dare to embarrass you. Even the daughter of the Ma family and the princess in the future will have to be careful. Special people have special favors, and others don't.

Dare to mess around."

Qiuyun whispered in her ear.

Huilan pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, it's a good thing to have face. Zelang treats me very attentively, I know that."

I understand somewhat in my heart, but I am not sure how long he can last with this love, or whether he really likes me. I am always a little uneasy and uncertain.

"Master, let's go back."

Qiuyun finished washing Huilan and combed her hair into a beautiful bun, put on a sapphire rocker and hairpin, and then she smiled with satisfaction as she looked beautiful.

Huilan looked at it and nodded slightly. The charming look on her face was still there after she went to bed last night, making her look even more radiant.

Wearing a light red cloak of ermine skin embroidered with white magnolia, she followed Ding Xiang and Qiu Yun back to Qinghui Garden, passed through the small garden of the East Palace, and happened to meet Wang Qin and Yu Ning, who held a

Small jar.

"Congratulations on Liangdi's makeup."

The two immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, what are you doing?"

"Back in Liangdi, I'm collecting snow water and boiling it to make tea."

Yu Ning responded cautiously.

"Well, you can do what you want, I'll go back first."

Huilan glanced at the earthen pot. It was snow water collected for Li Chengze to make tea. They themselves would not be in such trouble.

"Miss, they are prepared for the Crown Prince."

Qiuyun glanced back, but no one could be seen.

"Let them toss about it, and always give people a little hope. Desperate people can do anything. If you have hope, you will have scruples. If they don't do my business, let them go."

"yes."

"Qiuyun, has Wang Qin not slept with you for a while?"

Ding Xiang thought for a while before asking.

"Yes, after that incident with Yu Chenghui, I never summoned her again. I heard that she brought a message to Chang Ji, but there was no movement."

Qiuyun couldn't find out anything about the study, he just knew who went to see Chang Ji, that's all.

"They are the queen's people and are destined not to be trusted. They are also pitiful people. Let's not step on them."

"Yes, I understand."

Back at Qinghui Garden, the house was very hot. Huilan took off her cloak and sat in front of the stove to warm herself up.

"Master, do you want to take a medicinal bath?"

"Okay, go ahead and do it. You're a little cold all the way here. I'm sure His Highness won't go to court so early.

You ask the kitchen to stew some bone soup and serve some dishes, maybe His Highness will come over."

"Yes, I will prepare now."

"Qiu Yun, go and open the wine from Jar No. 2 and bring it over to warm it up. I'll have a drink with you when I'm here."

"Okay, little slave, let's go right away."

Qiuyun jumped up and ran to move the wine jar.

Li Chengze came back in the afternoon and went directly to Qinghui Garden. He had been thinking about her all morning and wondered if he had hurt her last night.

"Ze Lang, you have gone to court, is it still cold outside?"

"Fortunately, you are wearing thick clothes. What were you doing in the house? Does your body still hurt?"

He leaned over and whispered into her ear, and the masculine scent surrounded her, making her blush unconsciously.

"It's much better. I took a medicinal bath and it doesn't hurt much anymore."

She said quietly.

"Lan'er is so good."

"I have prepared some good wine for Zelang, would you like to try it?"

Huilan blushed and pulled him to sit by the copper stove to warm himself.

"What do you want to do by getting Gu Gu drunk? It's your first time to be favored and you need to rest for a few more days."

Li Chengze deliberately misunderstood her meaning and liked to tease her. Her face was as red as the sunset and she looked so beautiful.

"I hate it. I won't talk to you anymore and won't give you a drink."

Huilan turned to sit on one side and tilted her head, getting angry.

Li Chengze chuckled lightly and hugged her from behind, "Okay, don't say anything. I'll give you a sip of wine, just because I worked so hard last night."

"Disgusting, bad boy."

Huilan hit him with her fist.

"Hahaha!"

Li Chengze laughed happily and hugged her lovingly.

"Come with me to see the Queen Mother tomorrow. Have you finished copying your scriptures?"

"After I finished copying, I made some medicinal patches and ointments, but the Queen Mother didn't summon me, so I didn't dare to rush to disturb them."

"The imperial grandmother used your ointment to take a medicated bath, and the effect was particularly good. Her rheumatism was no longer painful. She specifically asked to see you."

Li Chengze felt that Huilan was very powerful, and he could make the imperial grandmother remember her and summon her again in just two simple steps.

"Really, that's great. Don't worry, Zelang. I will definitely try to please the Queen Mother and try to go there more times so that she can remember me."

Huilan was willing to do whatever she wanted. Only by currying favor with the Queen Mother could she suppress the Queen. If she had any trouble in the future, she could find many ways to deal with it. Even if there was little hope, it was better than no hope at all.

"Smart girl, the Queen Mother doesn't like sharp-tongued people, especially those who are trying to be clever. Instead, she likes honest people. You go and be good."

"I understand, don't worry."

That night, Li Chengze took the opportunity to stay in Qinghui Garden for the night. However, he did not go to bed tonight. Instead, Huilan painted red plum pictures, and they talked and laughed with him and commented on the paintings. The conversation was very enjoyable.

After noon on the second day, Li Chengze took her to Cining Palace to pay her respects.

Aunt Yan came out to greet them, "Please come in, the Queen Mother is waiting for you."

"Thank you, mama."

"Hello, mama, I've made some more of this medicinal patch, which is also used to treat rheumatism and bone pain. If you don't mind it, just treat it like Lan'er and respect your elders."

Huilan held up a small box with both hands, her expression and voice were a bit nervous and uneasy.

The old nanny's surname is Yan, and she is known as Aunt Yan. She is the most honorable old servant in Cining Palace. She is the dowry maid of the Queen Mother and has been with the Queen Mother all her life.

"Thank you Liangdi for the reward. I accepted it shamelessly. Please come inside quickly. Don't let it get cold outside."

Huilan nodded happily. She gave it to the prince in front of him, and there was no intention to win over him behind his back.

"Ask the imperial grandmother Yi'an."

"Ask the Queen Mother Yi'an."

Huilan also knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, your surname is Ding, right?"

"The Imperial Grandmother, her mother's clan is the Ding clan, and her maiden name is Huilan."

Li Chengze introduced it first.

"Oh, your ointment works so well, it makes you tired."

"It is my concubine's blessing and honor to be able to share the Queen Mother's worries. I brought some here today. You can use them in the next stage. There must be a pause between the medicinal patches and medicinal baths, otherwise there will be some minor problems. The medicinal patches will keep away the cold.

If you stick it to your skin for a long time, it will cause irritation, red rash and itchiness, so you have to stop using it again.”
