After teasing Zhu Tong for a while, Chu Zongge finally walked into the room. Today, she was leisurely browsing through history books in her room. Seeing his sudden arrival, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

"When I first came here, I saw Zhu Tong playing with the Peony Blossom, how come I didn't see Little Zhui?"

Xue Ronghua put down the scroll in her hand, "Little Zhui's not well, she went to look for a doctor. How did you get free today?

Chu Zongge leisurely spread out his hands and said: "I'm so bored inside the palace, I can only come find you. What are you looking at all day?"

Xue Ronghua laughed lightly, "I've been watching Han Dynasty."

"Which segment did you see?"

"I saw the story of Lu Zhi making Lady Qi into a character."

This was an extremely cruel history. Chu Zongge flipped through the books, "Although Madam Qi has once offended Empress Lu due to the favor of Ancestor Han Gao, she doesn't need to treat Madam Qi as a human being either. Fighting in the harem is truly the most frightening thing in the world."

Xue Ronghua thoughtfully nodded her head, "The harem is a battlefield without smoke, although there are no signs of swords or light, but rivers of blood flowed everywhere."

"From my point of view, Madam Qi and Madam Lu are both at fault. Madam Qi should not act so arrogantly towards someone like Lu Zhi. On the other hand, Lu Zhi is truly quite vicious."

However, Xue Ronghua shook his head lightly, "Don't you think that the culprit behind this is the Henggao Ancestor, Liu Ba?"

Chu Zongge was puzzled: "Why is that?"

"Lady Qi and Liu Bang are in love, so they are naturally people of his heart, and Lu Zhi and Liu Peng mutually support each other, so they are also considered as good helpers on his path to becoming Emperor. However, Liu Peng is not only unable to give the person he loves a safe future, but is also unable to help the daughter of the person he loves."

Chu Zongge smiled, "It's just a historical story, but you have read many things."

Xue Ronghua's eyes flashed, "Do you think the Great Qin Empress Palace could have done the same?"

Chu Zongge promptly waved his hand, "I have never heard of a concubine being made into a role model. Don't spout nonsense."

"The Noble Consort Kang had once told us that the Empress Chen was afraid that the Mrs. Heyi would harm the Emperor and poison the Mrs. Heyi. However, we have already deduced that the reason the Empress Chen killed the Mrs. Heyi was because of jealousy."

"Yes," Chu Zongge looked at her with rapt attention, "You also said that the Mrs. Heyi might be extremely merciful."

"Of course, this is the only thing that Empress Chen can hate," Xue Ronghua said as she took a sip of her tea anxiously.

"However, all of these are possible," Chu Zongge sighed softly. "Without the Noble Consort Kang, we can't hold on to anything tightly."

Xue Ronghua was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, when I went to the Tingxue Building yesterday, I met with Prince Jin, and we explained everything clearly."

"What?" Chu Zongge was surprised, "Why didn't you inform me in advance?"

Xue Ronghua panicked: The matter happened so suddenly, I did not expect Prince Jin to tell me everything. She immediately told him about the dancer.

Chu Zongge was in no mood to listen to her words, and said anxiously: "Do you remember that Prince Jin almost pushed you into the river to use your skin and flesh to force you to marry?"

"I naturally remember," Xue Ronghua said in a difficult situation, "But now that the situation is stiff, there's a high chance that the crown prince and Empress Chen will take the chance to enter. It's best to rope them in, and he also promised us to let the Noble Consort Kang explain everything."

Chu Zongge's face was ice-cold, he turned his head and no longer looked at her, "I spent a lot of effort to convince the emperor, I just wanted to get rid of the Prince Jin, how could you change your mind suddenly?"

"The world is hard to predict. He is a meritorious general of the Great Qin Empire right now, so I have no choice," Xue Ronghua said in confusion. "Why do you always want to get rid of the Prince Jin?"

Chu Zongge coldly replied: "Prince Jin is too cunning, a hundred times more difficult to deal with than Crown Prince."

"What reason is that?" Xue Ronghua was completely baffled. "Empress Chen and Crown Prince, Noble Consort Kang and Prince Jin, which side is on good terms, we can only judge the situation …"

"Prince Jin bought you off with just a dancer," Chu Zongge interrupted her. "That Xue Liuhua is so much stronger than dancers, why don't I see you have a trace of sympathy for her."

Xue Ronghua's expression stiffened, "It's not like you don't know that she almost tried to poison me to death.

"The Prince Jin and Xue Liuhua are the same kind of people, you can't trust them," Chu Zongge paused for a moment, "I absolutely have to get rid of the Prince Jin."

"It's not like you don't understand the logic of 'the sandpiper mussels fighting each other for the advantage' right? Aren't you afraid that the crown prince would take this opportunity to stab you in the back and snatch away his ally, the Prince Jin?"

"The fisherman will benefit from this," Chu Zongge stared at her forcefully. "I will not ally with someone who has once tried to take you away from me."

Xue Ronghua slowly relaxed and gently smiled: "Don't worry, Prince Jin has no other choice but to choose a different family's girl to get married to."

"That's not necessarily true. Originally, he was afraid of you because you were a concubinage. Now that Xue Liuhua has left and you have become a direct descendant, it makes sense."

"Xue Ronghua was about to take action when the childish Chu Zongge didn't know what to do," Don't just think about it, our marriage was agreed to by the Emperor, how could he have the chance to snatch it away.

"But …" Chu Zongge looked at her with eyes that wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xue Ronghua asked suspiciously: "What do you want to say?"

"..." In your previous life, you were betrayed by your husband and cousin. Was it because Prince Jin loved dancers, making you think that he was truly a loyal person. "

All the expression on Xue Ronghua's face instantly crumbled, leaving only the eye-piercing coldness. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Chu Zongge saw that her expression was amiss, but he had already said it, so he could only continue: "Don't be angry, I was just guessing, after all you thinking about revenge that much, maybe it's because you still have some feelings for Meng Qianzhong."

Xue Ronghua stood up expressionlessly, and spoke word by word: "Chu Zongge, you and I have known each other for close to three years, and this is how you look at me. You think I am still worried about Meng Qianzhong, so can I think that your displeasure with Prince Jin is because he has a good mother, and that's why you feel jealous?"

Chu Zongge's heart froze, he did not expect her to say such a thing, "You and I were betrayed by our families at the same time, so we will naturally carry such feelings with us in this life …"

"Then you admit it?"

Chu Zongge stared at her blankly, gritted his teeth and said, "I do admit that I was extremely uncomfortable when I saw the Noble Consort Kang helping the, and the Empress Chen helping the Crown Prince. I was also thinking if my mother was still alive, would I have a mother who would always be able to protect me and teach me a lesson so that I wouldn't feel so bad here in the palace?"

Xue Ronghua let out a heavy sigh, "No wonder you can't change the topic at Mrs. Heyi. After all, you haven't experienced the days of a mother being pampered, so you indeed can't experience it."

"Therefore," Chu Zongge said with a dejected look in his eyes, "The only one I can rely on is you. Fortunately, neither the Prince Jin nor the crown prince have an imperial concubine, so you are still unique."

Xue Ronghua looked at him calmly for a moment, then raised her eyes to look out the window, "It's already dusk, you should go back to the palace. I've said too many things today, I'm a little tired."

"Alright," Chu Zongge revealed an extremely bitter smile, "You rest first."

After the Noble Consort Kang had received the silk flower hairpin, she looked at it in the bronze mirror, then turned her back and smiled, "You sure are happy these past few days."

Prince Jin waved his hand and the palace maids by his side retreated, moving closer to mother. "There's a flower blooming in the imperial garden, why does mother still need to hairpin some silk flowers like these?"

"You don't know," Noble Consort Kang touched the pearl at the center of the silk flower, "No matter how well the flowers in the imperial garden bloom, they will wither one day. It's not like this silk flower will always live on my hair bun."

Prince Jin could immediately hear the hidden meaning behind mother's words. "What new flowers has the palace bloomed?"

"The marriage between the Great Qi and the Great Qin Empire took place, and sent a Peace-Making Princess into the palace."

The Prince Jin asked doubtfully, "In such a long period of time, the Emperor of Great Qi had only caused the death of one prince, and that prince even died young. Where did this princess come from?"

"It is precisely because the Great Qi Emperor has no daughter that all the people he is looking for are the princess that was sealed in the palace by the National Duke’s daughter before being sent to the Great Qin."

"Wouldn't the Great Qin lose? They would have to use a real princess in exchange for a fake princess."

"It's not really a loss," the Noble Consort Kang said with a faint smile. "There are many princesses who are not favored by the Emperor. Just randomly give them one."

"Did the princess get a title?"

"Give me your name, Consort Fu is here."

The Prince Jin thoughtfully nodded his head, "Then Imperial Concubine Hua, who has been pampering me for the past few days, can finally calm down for a few days."

"That's not necessarily true. The emperor has only been to the Consort Fu that one time and the favors Imperial Concubine Hua have never stopped," Noble Consort Kang couldn't help but say doubtfully. "Just what kind of ability does Xue Liuhua have to be able to confuse the emperor to such an extent?"

Prince Jin comforted gently: "Don't be in such a hurry, mother. Xue Liuhua is really somewhat beautiful, and young and tender.

"In the past, the Emperor was also infatuated with Liu Chengyun," Noble Consort Kang narrowed her eyes slightly, "In those days, every palace was incomparably bitter and cold, and only Liu Chengyun's palace was as warm as spring."

"mother need not worry," the Prince Jin smiled, "No matter how warm the spring is, it will pass, and no matter how cold the winter is, it will end.

The Noble Consort Kang nodded in satisfaction and asked: "How is what you and Xue Ronghua are doing?"

"Pour out the bitter water, she has already believed nine points."

"After all, she's a woman. It's hard to resist such a beautiful love story."

Prince Jin raised his eyebrows, "There's still another Prince Duan behind us. He has a deep grudge against me, so he probably won't believe me."

The Noble Consort Kang was annoyed. "Originally, Prince Duan's spearhead was not aimed at you, but you started the fire on your body for Xue Ronghua."

The Prince Jin laughed, "Xue Ronghua is now the direct descendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is perfectly justified for her to marry into the palace and become the imperial concubine."

"You really want to marry her? She's about to get married to the Prince Duan."

"As long as I don't get married, I will have a chance." Prince Jin said with absolute certainty.

Noble Consort Kang knew that she could not persuade Yue Yang, so she changed the topic, "Has the crown prince come to find you yet?"

"He invited me to drink a few times, but I politely declined. It was such a headache for someone like him to drink wine with his eyes only focused on singers."

Noble Consort Kang smirked disdainfully, "Empress Chen spent a lifetime of thought but this idiot gave birth to such a thing. It's truly unfortunate."

Prince Jin whispered into his ear, "I went to pay my respects to the empress that day and saw that she aged a lot again. She really was too concerned about the crown prince."
