Chapter 346 the empress''s invitation (Part one)
After sending off Xuanyuan Yvzhen, the Crown Prince directly went to the Kunning Pce. The
empress also smiled when she saw the Crown Prince. For the affairs of the Crown Prince in court,
asionally, Emperor Hongjia would tell her when he came here.
She also knew that if it wasn''t for Xuanyuan Yvzhen''s help, her son wouldn''t have been able to secure
his position as the Crown Prince. There were too many people eyeing this position covetously. One of
them was no doubt Xuanyuan Yvfan.
Although she and Concubine Yi didn''t get along well, it didn''t mean that she couldn''t understand what
was going on in the harem. Moreover, Concubine Yi had the Lu n behind her. Fortunately, there
were still many people supporting the Crown Prince in the court.
"Mother, greetings!" The Crown Prince looked at the empress and said respectfully, "it has been a long
time since I visited youst time."
"Son, don''t say that. I know you are not dealing with the affairs in the court." The empress looked at the
Crown Prince and said seriously, "after all, they all want you to quit the position of the Crown Prince, so
that the Second Prince can inherit it."
The Crown Prince looked at the empress and nodded earnestly. "That''s what the Fourth Prince has
been worried about."
The empress appreciated the Crown Prince''s words. "Son, although the imperial concubine and I are
not in a good rtionship, I know the Fourth Prince is being sincere to help you."
Hearing the empress''s words, the Crown Prince nodded seriously. "Of course I know that, so I don''t
take it seriously." The Crown Prince looked at the empress and took out the bamboo slip. "This is what
the Fourth Prince gave me. Mother, you can also have a look."
The empress took the bamboo slip from the Crown Prince. She was surprised to see the news. She
didn''t expect that the news on the paper was so uneptable for her.
"Was it really the Fourth Prince who gave it to you?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince and
asked seriously, "I don''t know many of these things. How did he know?"
The Crown Prince shook his head. "Actually, Junzhu Leyi gave it to the Fourth Prince, and then he
gave it to me."
"You mean Junzhu Leyi?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince in astonishment and said, "that''s
impossible. It''s not something that such a young girl can know."
"Mother, maybe Murong Shizi did it. After all, they are both friends with the Fourth Prince. Besides,
didn''t you once admit that the Junzhu is a powerful person?"
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, the empress was speechless. She suddenly realized that Junzhu
was not as simple as she thought she was. Perhaps she came to help the Crown Prince with other
purposes.
"Son, do you think I can have a meet with Junzhu?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince and
asked seriously, "don''t worry. I don''t have any bad intentions. I just want to see this Junzhu."
"Mother, you should know that Junzhu has a good rtionship with the imperial concubine. If I want to
see her, you might need to get her own permission first." The Crown Prince looked at the empress and
stated seriously, "Mother, I suggest you call summon Junzhu yourself."
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, the empress nodded seriously. "It''s also a good idea."
"Mother, my princess is the adopted daughter of the imperial concubine. If you discuss it with the
imperial concubine, Junzhu might also be willing to see you." The Crown Prince looked at the empress
and said seriously, "after all, she won''t refuse the request of the imperial concubine."
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, the empress nodded with a smile. "Don''t worry, son. I will handle
this myself."
Seeing the expression on the empress''s face, the Crown Prince nodded seriously. Of course, he
believed in his mother, but he was still worried that Qingyan might think his mother might do harm to
her. Or maybe there would be some sort of deal between them.
"Son?" Seeing the expression on the Crown Prince''s face, the empress asked resignedly, "I won''t make
things difficult for her."
The Crown Prince felt awkward upon hearing the empress'' words. "Mother, you know I didn''t mean
that."
The empress looked at the expression on the Crown Prince''s face and nodded. Then they discussed
some daily affairs for with the Crown Prince. After that, the Crown Prince left the Kunning Pce.
Not long after the Crown Prince left the pce, Emperor Hongjia came. The empress was surprised to
see him. She didn''t know how much time had passed since thest time since he came here.
Thest time she saw Emperor Hongjia was when her son was seriously ill.
While seeing the figure of Emperor Hongjia, the empress said apologetically, "sorry, your majesty. I
didn''t know you wereing."
"Empress!" Leaving the empress alone, Emperor Hongjia sat directly on the host seat, "what do you
think about the selection show?"
Hearing this, the empress looked up at him in confusion. "Your Majesty has put this matter to

Concubine Yi, right? Why? "
Hearing the empress''s words, Emperor Hongjia smiled and said, "I just want to ask for your opinion. Mr.
Xv really wants to send his eldest daughter to the imperial pce."
The empress immediatly realized what was Emperor Hongjia''s intention. She answered respectfully,
"Don''t worry, your majesty. I will be the only empress of the Xv n.''''
Hearing the empress''s words, Emperor Hongjia nodded with satisfaction, "well, since you understand,
it''s the rule to hold the selection show. However, I don''t need any other women in the harem anymore."
The empress nodded. "I understand."
"Empress! We have been married for so many years. You should know my temper. Although those
women can go to the imperial pce, I don''t want to see their dirty tricks. "
What Emperor meant was that she didn''t want to see what happened to Concubine Min a second time.
Although it was an ident, she knew clearly that if it were not for the Fengqin, Concubine Min
wouldn''t end up like that.
"I understand." The empress answered in respect.
"Empress! Don''t worry. As long as I don''t die, your son is still the Crown Prince. "
The empress answered in awe. "I''m so scared to hear that."
Emperor Hongjia waved his hand and said, "I know exactly what kind of person you are. So I will help
the Crown Prince. Moreover, the Fourth Prince is always on his side. You don''t need to worry too
much."
The empress remembered she wanted to see Qingyan as soon as Emperor Hongjia mentioned
Xuanyuan Yvzhen. She looked at the emperor and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, may I summon
Junzhu Leyi to meet me?"
