"Second Master Hua, is your sister okay?" The prince walked into the side hall and saw Hua Changkong sitting on the chair with a calm expression. Most of his worries were gone. It seemed that Hua Liuli had nothing to do with it.

"His Royal Highness." Hua Changkong stood up and bowed to the prince, "The imperial doctor has already come to see her, she has nothing to do, just rest for two days."

"Fortunately, the county master stopped the assassins today, otherwise I might have to suffer a lot." The prince looked at the lightly shaking gauze in the room, "The palace is heavily guarded, and everyone who can enter the palace has been investigated for several generations. Be clear."

But in just one month, there were two assassinations.

Hua Changkong's expression moved slightly, but he did not speak.

"There are people in power in the palace, and they should cooperate with the outside world." The prince glanced at the inner room, "In a few days, the palace will hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens. Back to your mansion, what do you think, the third son of Hua."

The bed tent moved slightly.

Hua Changkong pretended not to see it, and cupped his hands towards the Prince: "Everything is according to His Highness's wishes."

Maybe he thought of a few princes too noble, maybe there is really a deflated prince who disregarded the peace of the whole country for the sake of his immediate interests.

Such a person, even if he calculates to the world, cannot become a wise ruler.

"I heard that the third son is going to participate in the imperial examination after the spring?" The prince did not want to talk about the unsatisfactory brothers, and changed the subject, "There are two officials in the lonely palace who are the top three in the imperial examination. If the third son doesn't mind, he will come here often. Sit here alone."

"Thank you, Prince, Wei Chen..."

"Master, are you awake?" Iris' voice full of surprise came from inside the house.

Hua Changkong lifted the veil and walked into the inner room, meeting Hua Liuli's gaze.

Hua Liuli turned her head silently.

Hua Changkong coughed dryly: "Little sister, I'll pick you up in a few days."

"Thank you third brother." Hua Liuli stretched out her hand to straighten Hua Changkong's clothes, "It's been cold recently, third brother don't forget to put on clothes." Her fair fingers twisted around Hua Changkong's arm, "You have to take good care of your body. ."

Hua Changkong's smile froze and whispered: "The prince is still outside, save me some face."

Taking back her hand, Hua Liuli smiled and said, "Brother, sister is fine in the palace, you don't have to worry about me."

"Princess Shun'an's daughter, Princess Jiamin, is interested in King Ying." Hua Liuli whispered, "Princess Shun'an's family is very close to Concubine Xian."

If the relationship is not close enough, His Majesty intends to match her with the King of England, and Princess Jiamin can't know.

"Take care of yourself." Hua Changkong raised his voice, "Don't worry, the third brother will read books at home, maybe next year you will have a brother who is the champion."

"Third brother, you are so confident, I will write to my parents later." Hua Liuli rubbed her stomach.

"Little sister, it's past noon now, you should use something first."

"I'm not hungry."

"Eat if you're not hungry, otherwise how can your body hold up, be good, be obedient."

"Then I..."

"Want to drink some white porridge again? That's not possible, Iris, bring meat porridge to your master, and prepare a few more side dishes."

Hua Liuli blinked at Hua Changkong: Brother, you are my brother.

Hua Changkong put a finger on her forehead, got up and went outside to talk to the prince.

When Iris and the maid brought the food in, Hua Changkong got up to watch Hua Liuli eat.

The prince took a sip of tea and heard Hua Changkong's voice from the inner room: "Why did you eat so much, and take a few more bites."

"If you finish this bowl of rice, I'll buy you the pearl hairpin that you liked last time."

"If you eat such a little thing every day, how can your body be healthy? There are still vegetables that must be eaten. Don't think that if I can't see it in the palace, you can be picky eaters and don't eat well!"

"Third Brother..."

"It's useless to act like a spoiled child. Iris, when your master eats, you have to keep an eye on her, you can't let her temper."

"Your Highness, I made you laugh." After ruthlessly coaxing his sister to eat, Hua Changkong came out and said to the prince, "My sister is young and ignorant, and she has been worrying about eating since she was a child. Wei Chen can't do anything about it."

"The princess is still young, so it's normal to have things that you don't like to eat." The prince smiled, "Gu also has a lot of things that you don't like to eat."

After a while, the palace maid brought out the empty bowl, and the prince glanced at the empty bowl and plate. It seemed that the majesty of the elder brother was still useful, and the little girl ate all the food honestly.

After the imperial doctor checked the pulse and determined that Hua Liuli had no problem eating so many meals, the prince heard Hua Changkong scolded Hua Liuli for being picky eaters and said, "Sir Hua, the county master is still young, you don't need to be so strict. , Gu will help you watch the county master eat in the next few days."

"His Royal Highness is right." Hua Liuli answered quickly.

Through the veil, the prince couldn't see Hua Liuli's expression, but he could guess something from her tone.

Sure enough, he is still a proud child who has a backer.

To avoid panic in the palace, the assassination in the East Palace did not spread.

Although the crown prince was fine, Emperor Changlong was very angry. Not only did he check all the generals in charge of guarding the palace, but he also increased the number of guards in the East Palace.

Some officials in charge of the affairs of the palace were also affected a lot by this incident. Although the people in the palace didn't know what happened, they were a lot more careful when doing things.

The only person who is not affected is probably Hua Liuli. After she returned from the East Palace, she lived a leisurely life. I don't know what the prince said to the empress dowager. The empress dowager has a hobby since then, that is, staring at her to finish the meal.

"Ai's family used to see old folks coaxing their children to eat, and I only felt a headache, but today I feel a little interesting." The queen mother said to the close female official, "Liu Li is obedient and well-behaved, and even the way he eats is better than other families. Cute little girl."

The female official smiled: "You are right."

You have never felt the power of a bear child, and you think it is interesting to coax the younger generation to eat.

If Fushou County Master is not good-looking and loves to cry and make trouble, you can still bear it, let's say this again.

After the meal, Hua Liuli was driven out by the Queen Mother for a walk as usual. I don't know where her old man heard the rumor that she only brought one or two girls out of the house, and she just arranged for a few palace maids to follow her.

Her old man's original words were: "If you meet someone with a bad temper, even if there is a conflict, you won't suffer if you bring a lot of people."

Hua Liuli felt that the Queen Mother said that she almost didn't say it clearly. If anyone dares to attack you, if you can't win, let the palace maid fight back.

She thought that the queen mother would be euphemistic and obscure after being baptized by various conspiracies in the harem.

"Little girl, was the imperial grandmother kicked out for a walk again?" The prince saw Hua Liuli walking slowly from a distance, "How much did you eat for lunch?"

"His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli looked up at the prince sitting on the carriage, "Have you eaten?"

"Gugang used it in Chenyang Palace." The prince got off the carriage and handed Hua Liuli two boxes.

"What is this?" Hua Liuli took the box and smelled a faint scent of food.

"Tomorrow there will be a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky." The prince whispered, "It will start before dawn, and it will not end until after noon."

Hua Liuli turned her head to look at the eunuchs and court ladies who bowed their heads behind her, and whispered, "Your Highness, will this not be good?"

Eating secretly when sacrificing to heaven...

"What's wrong, when a child is growing up, he can't help but be hungry." The prince put his hands behind his back, very righteously, "God Tianze was born and tolerated all things, it will not take this trivial matter into consideration. ,rest assured."

Hua Liuli: "..."

She's a... fifteen-year-old kid

Before dawn the next morning, Hua Liuli was dug out of the bed by Iris and a few palace maids, and after a while, she was sent into the sedan chair.

"The county master, the snacks that His Royal Highness the Prince gave you, the slaves are in the bag."

"Hmm." Hua Liuli nodded confusedly.

"You are weak, and the palace attendants will not dare to make you tired, but the servants heard that after the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, it will be inconvenient to change clothes. You should drink less water today."

"Okay." Hua Liuli leaned against the sedan window and yawned a few times.

The bedroom was still a long way from the Temple of Sacrifice, but apart from footsteps along the way, Hua Liuli could not hear any words.

She was awakened by the cold air in the morning, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out. The road was covered with beautiful palace lanterns, and the whole road leading to the Temple of Sacrificial Heaven was brilliantly lit, as if it were daytime.

There is a large open space under the Temple of Sacrifices, which is already full of people. Hua Liuli took a careful look and found that the courtiers and wives were all there, but they were separated from each other, and they did not stand together.

The sedan chair fell to the ground silently, and a female official lifted the sedan curtain and whispered, "The county master, please get off the sedan chair."

Hua Liuli stepped out of the sedan chair, and saw the queen mother who had just got off the phoenix sedan waving at her: "Liu Li, come, support Aijia."

Several concubines who had been waiting for a long time heard the Queen Mother's words and felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. There is no queen in the palace, so it is an honor if the concubines can stand by the queen mother during the sacrifice to heaven. In previous years, the queen mother would always choose one of their concubines who had princes, but this year, she had a foreign minister and daughter to accompany her.

The concubines and concubines kept their smiles unchanged, but took a step back calmly, with a strange peace with each other.

Probably "although it's not me, but it's not you", they can still accept the result.

Hua Liuli held the Queen Mother's soft hand, accompanied the Queen Mother past the courtier's wife, and finally stepped on the steps leading to the altar.

The courtiers and the wives were secretly curious. Could it be that the little girl who supported the Queen Mother was the daughter of the Hua family

Does the royal make a face for the flower family

No, not right. The Hua family just won the battle, and the royal family will definitely give the Hua family all the glory they can give, but now that there is more scenery, it will be so ruthless when they suppress the Hua family in the future.

Ah, the king is like a tiger, the royal family is destined to be so ruthless.

After the officials expressed their emotions in their hearts, they couldn't help but glance at Hua Liuli.

Such a beautiful thing, how can it not be them.

If they are, they will never end up in the future of the Hua family.
