Xue Liuhua curved her lips, and revealed a charming smile towards the Emperor.

The Emperor stared at her. It had been a while since new concubines were recruited into the palace, and although Empress Chen and the other old people in the palace still retained their charm, they were gradually getting older and older. On the other hand, Consort Tong and the others were only beautiful girls, not as beautiful as Xue Liuhua, who was weeping for her.

Xue Liuhua said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"

Only then did the emperor react and he hurriedly said, "Liuhua is really very beautiful, even we were stunned."

Xue Liuhua smiled sweetly and said gently, "No matter how beautiful Liuhua is, how can she compare to the concubines and concubines in the palace?"

The Emperor was truly satisfied and excited, then he began to tease the beauty before him. "If you enter the palace, you'll naturally know that you can't compare to her."

After interacting with Prince Jin for a long time, Xue Liuhua's reaction had also become more nimble, "The Emperor did not answer Liuhua's question, but instead coaxed him into entering the palace."

A trace of a smile bloomed on the Emperor's lips as he said with a smile, "But now, Liuhua can only enter the palace and watch with us to see whether it's you or those concubines that are beautiful."

Xue Liuhua's face flushed red, as she said in a displeased tone: "Your majesty, if it's like this, then Liuhua really doesn't know what to think."

His little daughter's bashful attitude made his heart pound, and with a smile, he pulled the beautiful woman into his arms.

The snow melted and everything was restored. When Chu Zongge came out of the Xinyang Hall s, he felt that the sky was clear today, and the wind was blowing gently. He immediately felt happy, and as he walked towards the southwest, he began to play.

Chu Zongge walked into the dusky willow forest, only to discover that there was a bright yellow figure inside.

The emperor frowned slightly. "What are you doing in Luan Feng Palace?"

Chu Zongge also never expected that the emperor would actually come here. The events of that night were still fresh in his mind, and the infatuated man who affectionately recited the name of the mother had now turned into the Royal Father with a frown and cold eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The Emperor turned his face away and no longer looked at him. "That day at the Xinyang Hall, you reflected on it properly. Do you know where you were wrong?"

Chu Zongge took a deep breath in his heart, and said slowly: "This son knows his wrongs, and shouldn't have formed a personal alliance with a minister."

"Party formation?" The Emperor gave him a dark look and smiled. "Alright, you know you're wrong. In the future, you need to know your identity. After all, you're not the crown prince. There are some things that you shouldn't do, understand?"

Chu Zongge raised a bitter smile, "This son will listen to your teachings."

After a moment of silence, the Emperor suddenly asked, "Do you come here often?"

Chu Zongge was startled for a moment, then replied: "This son sometimes misses the mother, and would come over to take a look."

The Emperor pursed his lips and looked at him deeply. "The battle in the Liu Family has been impressive, and I have rendered great service to Great Qin. As the wife of your mother, she has also been bestowed with the title of Prince, so you will definitely be the most honorable prince in the future."

Chu Zongge nodded his head slightly. After saying such beautiful words, he basically wanted him to give up trying to ascend the throne.

"The longer you grow, the bigger you become," The emperor's gaze was glazed, his thoughts seemed to drift off into the distance, "And you have become more and more like your mother."

Finally he got to the point. Chu Zongge had a faint smile on his face as he gently said, "The people of the palace all say that this son looks like the crown prince and the empress. Perhaps this son looks more like the royal father.

The Emperor lowered his eyelids and coldly snorted, "Who said that you look like a crown prince?"

Chu Zongge acted as if he was at a loss. "This is how palace maids spread rumors.

"Quasi-wangfei?" The emperor thought of that charming hibiscus in the dream he had a few days ago. "Do you think that the wangfei has a big sister?"

"Yes," Chu Zongge said, "He is the direct descendant of Prime Minister Xue's wife, Madam Ye, and his name is Xue Liuhua."

The Emperor sighed helplessly and said, "Tell me, how about I take Prime Minister Xue's direct daughter to the imperial harem?"

Chu Zongge's eyes were filled with shock. Seeing the emperor's helpless but happy expression, he could already guess why Xue Liuhua had not returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the past few days.

"This son believes," Chu Zongge respectfully knelt down, "Royal Father cannot accept her as his consort."

The emperor's eyes narrowed. "Do you think Zhen can't allow a wicked woman who kills her mother and sisters to enter the palace?"

"No," Chu Zongge shook his head, "If Royal Father really likes Xue Liuhua, then it would be too evil."

"Then why can't I accept her?"

"Xue Liuhua is the direct descendant daughter of the Prime Minister Xue, and the Empress Chen has secretly allowed her to be associated with the quasi wangfei of the Prince Jin. In the entire history of the Great Qin Empire, it is possible that the direct descendant daughter of the Prime Minister could even be placed in the back end of the line, and if the Royal Father were to bring her into the harem, it would be a great loss of face to the Prince Jin, the Noble Consort Kang and the Crown Prince."

A trace of approval flashed through the emperor's eyes. "You seem to be able to see through everything. If it was someone else, they would have already ordered Zhen to quickly accept them."

Chu Zongge maintained his respect on the surface, "It's better to think about this matter more."

"A single moment of spring snack is worth a thousand gold," The Emperor's eyes were misty as he rolled up the jade pendant at his waist. "There are many things that I don't have a way back, so I only have to worry about how I'm going to go."

Chu Zongge thought to himself, "Damn it!" After all these years of not being selected, there were no longer any fresh girls left in the palace, and he actually even managed to sleep with the Prime Minister's daughter.

"Actually," the Emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, "I had thought of ending her life as well."

Chu Zongge was already detested by Xue Longhu, and the Prime Minister Xue Longhu's authority had already been weakened a lot by the Emperor, whether it was in the open or in the dark. If he was to kill Xue Liuhua instantly, no one in the world would know.

"Do you think it's better to kill her?" The Emperor looked him straight in the eye. "Or leave her in the palace?"

In that instant, Chu Zongge had a good idea, "Royal Father, if we create Young Miss Xue to fake her death, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"Fake death?"

"As long as the news of Young Miss Xue's death spreads, people would think that you have a concubine that is extremely similar to Xue Liuhua, and there would be no worries in the future."

"Are you sure the Prince Jin won't be suspicious?"

Chu Zongge laughed coldly in his heart, he was afraid that the Prince Jin was the mastermind behind the beauty trap. Prince Jin would at most feel pity for a while. My concubine has never been in close contact with the imperial family, and he wouldn't know that the person inside the palace was Xue Liuhua. "

"En," The Emperor looked at him with a smile, "Then how do you explain the situation with the Empress Chen?"

"The Queen and the Noble Consort are cautious and magnanimous. This son believes that they will definitely protect this secret for the emperor."

The emperor stared at him for a long time, his lips curling into a vague smile. "How did you come up with this idea?"

Chu Zongge laughed lightly, but his eyes were cold and detached, "It's just a sudden inspiration, I hope Royal Father will not take offense to this."

"Not at all," the Emperor said. "That's a pretty good idea."

The two of them walked around the abandoned Luan Feng Palace, causing Chu Zongge to feel slightly awkward. In the past, the people who lived in the Luan Feng Palace were the people who were the most restricted to other people, and he, after all, had borrowed someone else's body to revive himself.

"Also," the Emperor suddenly turned around and stared at him with shining eyes, "You are like your mother, not like him."

Xue Ronghua sighed softly when she heard Chu Zongge's explanation of how her Luan Feng Palace had met the Emperor.

"Father and son, between husband and wife, there is still such unfathomable suspicion and scheming. No wonder the ancients proclaimed that they were definitely not born in the imperial family."

Chu Zongge chuckled: "You're wrong, they are father and son on the surface, husband and wife. However, the deepest part of their relationship is naked like a relationship between a king and his subjects, since their ranks are not even that high, how can they talk about feelings?"

Xue Ronghua drank a mouthful of tea silently. Back then, it was because Mu Langhua and the entire Mu Family died miserably under the hands of the cold-blooded Emperor Meng Qianzhong because they could not understand the relationship between the two of them.

Chu Zongge said with a smile: "You're right about one more thing."

Xue Ronghua raised her eyebrows: What, is it related to the Mrs. Heyi?

"This has nothing to do with it either," Chu Zongge said as he reached out to stroke his own eyebrows, and laughed, "This piece of face of mine is truly interesting, it looks like my own mother, and also like his."

Xue Ronghua was startled, then immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "Let me say it, Empress Chen does indeed look similar to Mrs. Heyi."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're the best," Chu Zongge snappily snorted, his eyes filled with love.

"So the Empress Chen should be a replacement for the Mrs. Heyi at some point in time."

Xue Ronghua's deduction had simply skipped a step too fast. Chu Zongge sighed repeatedly, "It hasn't reached this step yet, right?"

Xue Ronghua winked at him, "You'll understand in the future."

"Then what do you plan to do about Xue Liuhua?"

Xue Ronghua only smiled slightly, "What's there to be conflicted about? She entered the palace to become the Empress after faking her death, and naturally isn't one of us, the Xue Residence.

"So it looks like that," Chu Zongge laughed, "As expected, it is as you wished it to be."

Xue Ronghua smiled, "Xue Longhu's concubine was tricked by Madam Ye to the point that she couldn't bear to bear another child, then I will become the only son of the family. If Xue Longhu doesn't consider me the descendant, could it be that I will have to wait for the half-dead Madam Ye to give him another child, or pray that Xue Liuhua can borrow the corpse to return the soul to me?"

Chu Zongge clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "Then, I'll be here to congratulate you, Young Miss Xue."

"Haha," Xue Ronghua was amused by him, "After I become the young miss, you will marry me and enter the Prince Duan. Even if you marry the first daughter of the Prime Minister and enter the palace, you don't have to be afraid of being mocked by others."

Chu Zongge suddenly looked serious: "I have never thought marrying you into my Palace is anything funny."

Xue Ronghua was startled by his serious expression and immediately laughed: "I'm not saying that you think marrying a concubinage would cause the price to go down, but since you want to compete for the position of crown prince, you should naturally marry a woman who comes from a noble family."

Her explanation seemed to be unnecessary. The moment her words left her mouth, the two of them became silent, not knowing what to say.

"Do you remember the questions you asked me before?" Chu Zongge still opened his mouth to break the silence.

Xue Ronghua was startled, and asked: "What's the problem?"

"You asked me why there are so many women in the world who want to marry you as their wangfei."

Xue Ronghua tried her best to remember, but she seemed to have said this before. So are you going to answer me now? "

Chu Zongge laughed, but just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly knocked on the door and entered.
