In Fenghua Palace, Concubine Xian looked a little unhappy. This was the first time Chu Han spoke to her like this. She couldn't help but feel a little tense in her words: "I know."

Chu Han was also furious for a moment, but in a flash he noticed Concubine Xian's mood and quickly whispered to comfort her: "Mother, I was anxious for a moment and I don't mean to blame you. I know you did this for me."

Years of forbearing life in the harem have made the mother and son closely related and share weal and woe. Chu Han is not stupid. He knows that the most taboo thing at this time is the mother and son turning against each other.

After hearing Chu Han's surrender, Concubine Xian felt relieved and started talking about business.

"This time, it was because I was too impatient. His Majesty must have suspected me now. I can't avoid being ignored for a while. Han'er, what are your plans next?"

Chu Han actually had an idea. Now that Concubine Xian couldn't help him, he had to find a strong supporter. This supporter must not only have a firm stance, but also have enough influence.

So he set his sights on Lu Hanzhang, the Minister of Dali Temple, who had a daughter named Lu Wei who was of marriageable age.

Lu Hanzhang had a son in his old age and loved his daughter Lu Wei very much. If he could marry Lu Wei, Lu Hanzhang would stand on his side for the sake of his daughter.

Chu Han told Concubine Xian about his plan. Concubine Xian thought for a moment and said, "It will be the Harvest Festival in a while. His Majesty will definitely hold a banquet in the Farming and Weaving Garden. You should find a way to invite Lu Wei to come. I will try to find out what she has to say."

Chu Han nodded in agreement. Concubine Xian smiled and began to look forward to the arrival of the Harvest Festival. After a unlucky day, finally something happened that made her happy.

Chu Han was well prepared. He heard that Lu Wei was going to Tai'an Temple to pray for her mother because her mother had been unwell recently.

He set out for Tai'an Temple early in the morning and waited for the opportunity. He created a romantic encounter in the temple and portrayed himself as a kind-hearted, upright and capable man. In order to cure Lu Wei's mother's illness, he recruited famous doctors. In addition, because of his identity as King of Liang, the simple Lu Wei was quickly attracted to Chu Han.

So when Chu Han invited her to attend the Harvest Festival a few days later, Lu Wei accepted without thinking.

A few days later, the weather was clear and the emperor was in a good mood. He held a banquet in the Gengzhi Garden. The Harvest Festival is a festival opposite to the spring ploughing festival. As the name suggests, it is to celebrate the good harvest of the year.

Every day in spring, the emperor and the empress, along with all the officials and their families, would sow seeds and raise silkworms in the weaving garden. The work would then be handed over to someone else to take care of, and the harvest would come during the Harvest Festival.

But at the beginning of the year, the emperor was seriously ill and missed the spring ploughing, so the emperor attached great importance to this harvest.

The banquet was more grand than in previous years, and even Concubine Liang came with the Seventh Prince in her arms.

Now, Concubine Liang has become Concubine Liang. She has a child and feels reassured. Her spirit and complexion are much better than before.

When Lu Yanluo came, she saw that the seat that was previously occupied by Concubine Xian was now occupied by Concubine Liang.

When Concubine Liang saw Lu Yanluo, she waved her hand happily, called Lu Yanluo to her side, asked her to see the child, and the two of them started talking to each other.

This made Concubine Xian, who was sitting next to her, extremely angry, but she dared not say anything.

The emperor has been ignoring her in recent days and has begun to favor Concubine Liang. She still remembers Chu Han's warning and dares not overstep the line for fear of being caught.

The Minister of Rites loudly announced the start of the banquet. Lu Yanluo stood up and returned to her seat. When she looked up, a strange girl came into her sight.

This man was talking to Chu Han, and from their words and actions, it was clear that the relationship between the two was unusual.

"Whose girl is this? Why haven't I seen her before?" Taking the opportunity to pour wine, Lu Yanluo asked Xiao Ran in a low voice.

Xiao Ran looked up casually, then replied, "This is Lu Wei, the legitimate daughter of Dali Temple Minister Lu Hanzhang. Lord Lu loves this daughter very much and has always kept her in seclusion. She rarely goes in and out of the palace."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanluo looked at Lu Wei thoughtfully and immediately understood what Chu Han was planning.

He was eager to find a father-in-law whom he could rely on, but it was a pity for the girl who was deceived for no reason.

Seeing Chu Han leaving, Lu Yanluo felt an idea in her heart and wanted to find Lu Wei to talk, at least to let her see Han's true face.

Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, a woman came up from behind her, walked around her and stopped directly in front of Chu Xuan's desk.

This time, before Lu Yanluo asked, Xiao took the initiative to say, "This person is the daughter of the Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, Wang Qingqing."

The Chief Censor of the Censorate, although not a high-ranking official, is a censor of great status and is someone who is not easy to mess with.

Lu Yanluo watched silently as Wang Qingqing took the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Chu Xuan. Using the wide sleeves of her clothes, she shook out some powder from under her fingernails and then put it in front of Chu Xuan, with an indescribable shyness on her face.

Chu Xuan looked at the wine glass that appeared out of thin air in front of him. Just as he frowned and tried to chase the person away, he heard a sentence in his ear.

[You really treat me like a sick cat, giving my man drugs right in front of me. You must be tired of living! ]

The urge that was about to come out of his mouth was immediately stopped. Chu Xuan looked up at Lu Yanluo's expression and felt like teasing her. He calmly let Wang Qingqing flirt in front of him.

The more Lu Yanluo looked at it, the angrier she became.

[Ouch! Chu Xuan, this bastard, didn't even chase me away. What is he waiting for? He's waiting for me to drink!]

Lu Yanluo walked forward and poured the wine that Wang Qingqing had poured onto the ground. She then glanced at Chu Xuan angrily and said to Wang Qingqing, "Miss Wang, this is a bit unbecoming. Who are you flirting with in public? As for this wine, I advise Miss Wang that the Night King already has a partner. If you want to find someone else, you should look for someone else."

Wang Qingqing was so ashamed and angry when she saw that her little trick was discovered by Lu Yanluo that she turned her head to look at Chucun with pleading in her eyes. However, Chu Xuan's eyes were only focused on Lu Yanluo at the moment and he had no time to care about her.

Wang Qingqing was very unwilling and ran away in a hurry.

Chu Xuan raised his hand to his lips, and could no longer hold back the smile on his lips.

Lu Yanluo was furious and secretly raised her hand to shove Chu Xuan to vent her anger: "A beauty throws herself into your arms, is the prince happy?"

Chu Xuan quickly shook his head, almost swearing to the heavens, and quietly held Lu Yanluo's hand in his sleeve, and said softly: "What? Are you jealous?"

Lu Yanluo retorted, "Why are you jealous? You only know how to flatter yourself. I won't be jealous of a playboy like you."

Chu Xuan's heart softened and he held Lu Yanluo's hand tighter.

What a tough-mouthed but soft-hearted baby, so lovable.
