...

Early morning.

The empress, with dark circles under her eyes and feeling helpless, went to the imperial study. Concubine Xiao Shu, with peach-shaped eyes, returned to the palace holding her waist.

Zhao Wujiang changed places to catch up on his sleep in the middle of the night.

Zhongshu ordered Liu Zhe to walk on the palace road leading to the harem with an old but vigorous pace.

Last night, he got the news that the emperor favored Concubine Xiao Shu. Today, when the sky was bright, he set out and came to the palace.

Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to make peace with the Moon Worshiping Kingdom in the Western Regions, it is certain that there will be one more concubine in the harem, which will be an additional "threat" to the two granddaughters of the family.

It was just that the emperor had not started to favor his concubines before, but now that the emperor has officially begun to favor his concubines, the competition in the harem has naturally become particularly fierce and important.

As a veteran official in the court, he naturally had to supervise and supervise his granddaughter.

...

Harem, Zhaoyi Palace.

Liu Meier personally served tea and water:

"Grandpa, your favorite Biluochun."

Liu Zhe, who was sitting at the main seat with a white beard and kind eyes, took the tea presented by his granddaughter and nodded with a smile. He took a sip of the fragrance of the tea and relaxed his eyebrows:

"Mei'er, you did a good job, one step faster and the other step faster.

There is nothing wrong with Dugu Mingyue being the first to be favored. If you can get ahead of Concubine Xiao Shu, you will already have an advantage.

As for Qinger..."

Liu Zhe looked to the other side, his little granddaughter Liu Qingqing, who was wearing a green dress with a green face and a pursed mouth, raised her white eyebrows, sighed, and said seriously:

"You have to hurry up. You can't... you can't be too subtle. You have to take the initiative to get close to the emperor and please the emperor..."

"But...but the emperor has many things to do, how to get close to him, how to please him." Liu Qingqing pouted her little mouth, feeling aggrieved, and kept stirring the palace skirt with her fingers.

"Look at what your sister is doing. You two sisters are in the same palace and need to help each other. Can't you please ask her for advice?"

Liu Zhe looked serious.

Liu Qingqing's eyebrows were green and slightly childish, and she muttered: "Sister Mei'er is so beautiful..."

Liu Zhe frowned, held his forehead with one hand, and said slowly:

"Qing'er, you are just a green lotus that has not yet bloomed. When it comes to looks, you two sisters are both stunning. You have to be more proactive and confident like your sister, do you understand?"

"Oh." Liu Qingqing was unhappy, glanced at her grandfather, and quickly buried her little head.

"Grandpa, how was the tea made by Meier?" Liu Meier smiled sweetly and changed the topic.

Liu Zhe nodded: "Yes, much better than that bastard boy of your father!"

"Haha..." Liu Meier covered her mouth and smiled, turning her beautiful eyes.

"By the way, there is a person you should pay more attention to. He should be able to be of some help to you in terms of the Emperor's favor."

Liu Zhe's face gradually became serious.

"Zhao Wujiang?" Liu Meier was quick-thinking and pointed out clearly.

"It seems that Meier, you have been in contact with him..." Liu Zhe nodded:

"There are rumors in the harem privately that Zhao Wujiang, who is favored by the emperor, has given some suggestions.

But in Grandpa’s opinion, this matter is exaggerated. Haha, the emperor is the emperor. He may listen to the advice of us veterans, but how can he listen to the advice of a young eunuch?

But Zhao Wujiang is indeed capable.

Even though many imperial doctors died, he was able to take care of the emperor's body and was left in the Yangxin Hall by the emperor, which shows that he has superb medical skills and gained the emperor's trust!

Since the emperor trusts him, you can make good friends with him.

Mei'er, if you have some insight in advance and come into contact with him, I have to say that grandpa will give you a compliment."

Liu Meier pursed her red lips slightly, and her peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.

"And you, Qing'er, do you remember what grandpa said?" Liu Zhe looked at his little granddaughter who was looking down and nodding.

"Remember grandpa." Liu Qingqing's bright eyes and white teeth turned into bitterness, filling her pretty face. She pouted her lips and made a loud sound.

Liu Zhe said earnestly: "Repeat it."

"Befriend him." Liu Qingqing pursed her red lips.

"who is he!"

Liu Qingqing mixed her little hands together and lowered her head slightly:

"Zhao Wujiang."

Seeing the look of his little granddaughter, Liu Zhe frowned, held his forehead, and said: "Mei'er, please worry more and teach your sister how to contact others."
