Hongyin reacted belatedly and nervously held Mujin's hand: "So the third lady suspected that I was bribed by Aunt Liu, so she revealed the news about Qixiayuan to her. This matter has nothing to do with me. You know me,

At most, I am jealous of Ah Man and complaining to you, but I would never have the guts to do such a thing that betrays my master."

Yuxiang looked at Hongyin worriedly and suggested: "Are you serious? Do you want to explain it to the third lady?"

Hongyin nodded heavily, so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "It's really not me, you believe me."

"We can't go." Mu Jin said with a solemn face: "Miss San didn't question you directly. If you explain, I'm afraid it will get darker and darker, and there will be suspicion that there is no three hundred taels of silver here."

"Then what should we do?" Hongyin was at a loss and looked at Hibiscus and Yuxiang anxiously.

Mu Jin was also a little flustered, and glared at Hongyin: "I told you to be careful in your words and deeds, but you are always full of complaints because you are jealous of Aman. Can you not spread it to the ears of the third lady? I don't doubt who you suspect."

Hongyin cried aggrievedly: "I was wrong, sisters, help me."

Yuxiang wiped Hongyin's tears with a handkerchief: "Don't cry, things haven't reached the worst yet."

"Yes." Mu Jin said in a depressed tone, "The third lady didn't point it out, indicating that there is no evidence. This matter is probably over. As long as there are no mistakes in the future, you will always know that you are innocent."

Hongyin had already panicked and her mind was in a mess. She would listen to whatever Hibiscus said.

"Don't be afraid, the third lady is not an unreasonable master." Yuxiang said.

Empress Song wanted to recognize Lu Xiang as her adopted daughter, so she immediately sent a decree to Qin Tianjian asking them to pick a good day to come out. She also asked the Ministry of Rites to spend time preparing.

Although this matter did not spread in the harem, Qin Tianjian quickly went to find the emperor after receiving the queen's decree.

In the imperial study, the emperor was bending over his desk to approve the memorial. There was a table and chairs in his lower left room. Chu Jinyan was holding the memorial and looking at it with a cold expression. The palace ladies in the study all stood with their heads lowered, concentrating.

Obviously he is used to this kind of scene.

At this time, the young eunuch with great words stood at the door of the palace and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor, would like to see you."

Emperor Chengde said without raising his head: "Xuan."

Soon, Mr. Liu walked in respectfully and without looking around, he bowed his head and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Say." Emperor Chengde said concisely and concisely.

Mr. Liu raised his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Chu Jinyan, who was sitting aside and reading a memorial in his hand. He gasped so hard that he almost pushed him over.

Chu Jinyan raised his head, his handsome and miraculous face was covered with frost, and his cold pool-like eyes fell on Mr. Liu, making him shiver violently and he quickly looked away.

My mother-in-law.

What did he see?

Mr. Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, his heart beating wildly. Could it be that he knew too much and was silenced by the emperor in advance?

Buddha bless him, he was accidentally blinded just now and saw nothing.

Emperor Chengde fell silent when he saw Lord Liu come in. He frowned at him and said displeasedly, "Is Liu Aiqing here to stay in a daze?"

Gritting and chirping, can it still work?

Well……

Mr. Liu was so aggrieved, wasn't the impact he received too great?

"Back to the Emperor, the Queen Mother sent a decree to Wei Chen, saying that she would adopt the third young lady of Shilang Lu's family as an adopted daughter. This is not a trivial matter, so Wei Chen came to ask the Emperor what he wanted."

This queen's adopted daughter is the emperor's adopted daughter. She is a princess in name. This is an edict to the world. Your Majesty, why don't you give me an edict?

Emperor Chengde was stunned: "Who?"

Chu Jinyan put down the memorial and looked at Master Liu in surprise.

The father could not remember who it was, but he knew clearly that the person the queen wanted to adopt as her adopted daughter was Lu Xiang.

Chu Jinyan's handsome eyebrows suddenly turned into knots, and his face was full of disapproval. I resisted.

Lu Xiang became the queen's adopted daughter, isn't that her adopted sister?

What a joke!

Suddenly, the quiet imperial study room heard the sound of creaking and grinding stools. Chu Jinyan bowed his hands to Emperor Chengde with a sullen face and said: "Father, I have to leave beforehand." After saying that, he didn't look back.

of leaving.

Mr. Liu looked at Chu Jinyan who left arrogantly with dumbfounded eyes, and then looked at the loving Emperor Cheng De, and made a fussy move.

From now on, he will never meet the emperor alone again.

"Master Liu, you are half-talking, you don't want the black gauze hat, are you?" Emperor Chengde was most annoyed that his minister was half-talking. He was so anxious that he would have been thrown out long ago if he hadn't seen this guy's outstanding ability.

"Back...back to the emperor, she is Lu Xiang, the third daughter of Lu Youping, the minister of the Ministry of Industry." After a pause, he added: "She is the niece of Empress Zhen."

Emperor Chengde remembered that when the queen was in danger, it was this little girl who saved her. No wonder he wanted to accept a young servant's daughter as his adopted daughter.

However, there are many ways to repay a favor. Why should we adopt an adopted daughter? Emperor Cheng De did not really want to have multiple unrelated daughters.

"The queen and I will discuss this matter carefully. You can go back first."

"Yes, Wei Chen resigns."

Jingren Palace

Empress Song called people from the needlework bureau and ordered them to make clothes for Lu Xiang. A group of people took paper and pen and carefully wrote down the empress's requirements one by one.

"Seeing that winter is about to come, let's prepare winter coats too."

"And make a few more fox furs and cloaks, and wear them interchangeably."

"I will order Shaohua to bring you the materials for making the clothes. As for the colorful ornaments, you can decide how to match them yourself."

"Girls should be more playful and don't embroider lifeless things."

"Everyone give me snacks. If you do well, I will reward you. Who dares to perfunctory me and skin her?"

The embroiderers shivered and said they didn't dare.

The Empress has never cared so much about being a dressmaker herself. It seems that the rumors in the palace are true. The Empress dotes on the third young lady of the Lu family very much.

At this time, Sang Ye walked into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eighth Prince would like to see you."

She and Zisu are newly promoted palace maids.

Queen Song looked at Sang Ye in confusion: "What is he here for?"

She hasn't seen her since Chu Jinyan returned to Beijing, so why did she suddenly come to Jingren Palace?

Sang Ye shook his head gently. Empress Song did not expect Sang Ye to know, so she said: "Ask him to come in." Then, she said to the maids in front of her: "I will come here today. I will tell you what I think of."

, please step back.”

"Slaves, please leave." As they said this, they left one after another.

Sang Ye led Chu Jinyan into the palace.

At the banquet of Chu Jin, the ceremony was: "Good luck to the queen."

Queen Song: "Sit down."

After Chu Jinyan sat down, he said, "Please step aside, please."
