Meng Qi hummed, "If you think it's feasible, Zhou Yu will take care of the affairs in the Lotus Garden, and I will explain the situation to my second sister. You only need to make arrangements in the palace and Yong'an."
Fanghua exhaled, "This matter is neither easy nor difficult. Just wait for me to believe it. If I think it through carefully, I will let Qinxiang tell Aunt Guan, and she will have a way to tell Sixth Brother."
Meng Qi was happy. "Okay, then you should hurry up. After all, it's the princess' birthday, so the lotus garden will definitely be decorated in advance. Once Zhou Yu gets the letter, we need to start even sooner."
Fanghua hummed, "Don't worry, I know. As for the follow-up matters, you don't have to worry about it. I know in my heart that I must let Mrs. Hu marry a daughter-in-law who is 'satisfactory'."
Meng Qi thought for a moment and said, "Once Zhou Zheng's proposal to marry Yong'an is settled, your sixth brother will have a reason to speak on your behalf to the Emperor."
Fanghua blushed, "Are there any clues?"
Meng Qi whispered a few words, "Of course, this is just what your sixth brother found out. You can also find out a little bit yourself in the palace."
Fang Hua rarely became shy, "Sixth Brother is doing this for my own good. If he likes something, he must be right."
"We have to meet after this period of time. There are too many things going on right now. If we bring it up now, it will inevitably arouse the Queen's suspicion. It would not be good if she were to cause trouble again."
Fang Hua said coldly, "You have such a vicious heart. You should finally get rid of the rage you've taken advantage of me for so many years."
"That's a good opportunity. It's related to another thing I want to tell you. Please help us think of a solution."
"What do you mean? Is it directed at the Queen?"
"Do you know what your sixth brother has been busy with lately?"
Fanghua nodded and lowered her voice, "The last time I saw Sixth Brother in Chengtian Palace, he said Fifth Brother... Is that true? Is he really going to...?"
Meng Qi snorted coldly, "Otherwise, if he didn't have that intention, why would he dig that secret passage?"
"How dare he?"
"Why wouldn't he dare? Ever since the Queen became the Queen, he feels that all of the Prince's brothers should cease to exist."
Fang Hua was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes. "I never ask about their daily lives, and I don't have the ability to control them. But now he's setting his sights on Father, and I absolutely won't allow it. I told Sixth Brother the other day that we should just tell Father directly, but he disagreed. Could it be that you have a good idea?"
"I have an idea, but I need your help."
Fanghua nodded, "What do you need me to do?"
"Can you think of a way to get the emperor to go to Prince Cheng's mansion?"
"Ah? How can this be possible? Father has never been to any of the royal palaces."
"That's why I asked you to think of a solution."
Fanghua stood up and walked back and forth, "No, if we only go to Fifth Brother's house, it will be too conspicuous. How about, why don't we take Father to visit each house?"
Meng Qi's eyes lit up, "I knew you had an idea. It's a good idea."
Fanghua thought for a moment, "There's no rush, right? I need to see how Father is doing physically and mentally before I can bring it up. And the words I say need to be reasonable, so as not to arouse suspicion."
"Well, it just so happens that your Sixth Brother's arrangements are not yet at their best. I think two months should be enough."
Fanghua sat back down. "Two months? Fine, I'll slowly talk to Father about it. But do you have a full understanding of the situation in Fifth Brother's mansion? If Father really goes there and is not discovered, and then alerts Fifth Brother, all our efforts will be wasted."
Meng Qi heard the noise coming from the west room and smiled slightly, "Now you know how Meng Zhi came to the palace and why I let you cause the conflict between her and me, right?"
Fanghua opened her eyes wide, "I see, that's what I was saying. Even if you guys are still at odds, there's no need to set fire to the palace."
Meng Qi stood up and said, "Let her come in, and the three of us will work out what to do."
Not long after the three of them returned to the main hall, the emperor arrived with his princes. He specially gave Concubine Xian a birthday gift. He also asked about Yong'an's birthday and even asked about Meng Qi's health. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
After the emperor had dinner with everyone, he took his sons to Chengtian Hall.
Concubine Lian beckoned Meng Qi forward and apologized to the Queen, "It was my fault for not disciplining her properly. After the banquet, I'll have her go to Qionghua Palace and copy all the female rules before returning."
The Queen nodded in satisfaction. "It's time to control your temper. It's not good to pick a fight with everyone you meet. The Emperor is in a good mood today. If he finds out and causes trouble later, it will be a serious matter."
Meng Qi remained silent, only standing behind Concubine Lian, glaring fiercely at Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi stood obediently beside Yong An, and Fang Hua looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
When they arrived at Qionghua Palace, Concubine Lian first asked Aunt Mo to bring a bowl of dumplings in sour soup. "I thought you must not have eaten enough at the banquet. This is Ah Mo's specialty. Eat it while it's hot."
Meng Qi was grateful in her heart, "Wouldn't Mother like to have some food?"
Concubine Lian shook her head. "Eat it. I'll let A-Mo tell you about Concubine Hui later."
Meng Qi was happy, she thought that Concubine Lian would not let her come to Qionghua Palace for no reason.
"So fast?"
"It's nothing. She was originally an old lady in the palace. Although she has been gone for many years, she still has some foundation left."
Meng Qi nodded, glanced at the sky outside, and quickly picked up the soup spoon. She really wasn't full yet, and when she smelled the sour taste, her appetite was whetted.
"I don't know if the prince has eaten well." Meng Qi said softly.
When Concubine Lian heard her say this, her brows relaxed and she felt happy. "Don't worry about him. Just eat your food."
Watching Meng Qi eat contentedly, Concubine Lian said softly, "Although you got pregnant this time to handle matters in the mansion and to ease the palace's vigilance against you, you've been married for over a year now. I'm not in a hurry, but it's time for you to have a child. I'm doing this for your own good."
