After Zhen Huan and Yinzhen returned from Tangquan Palace, Xia Dongchun became the favorite again. This time, she could not sit still, but she knew from Yunling that Zhen Huan would eventually become a noble concubine, so she could barely accept it.

But it was different for the others. The one with the biggest reaction was Concubine Hua.

After all, the favor of the concubine is even greater than her back then. How could she possibly endure it?

Although the emperor still treats her as well as before, she feels uncomfortable when she sees Zhen Huan being favored.

Cao Qinmo was holding Princess Wen Yi in Yikun Palace. Concubine Li was also there. Since the last incident with osmanthus oil, Concubine Li had been much more well-behaved.

"All of you just sit there and keep silent. Did I call you here to glare at each other?" Hua Fei said unhappily, snatching the fan from Lingzhi's hand and fanning her rapidly.

Her voice was a little louder, and Princess Wen Yi in Cao Qinmo's arms was frightened and started crying.

Cao Qinmo raised her eyes to glance at Concubine Hua and hurriedly went to coax Wen Yi.

Concubine Hua became even more annoyed: "I asked you to come and share my worries, why did you bring her here? Crying and crying! She keeps crying! My head hurts because of her crying!"

Cao Qinmo lowered her head and quickly covered Wen Yi's little ears.

Lipin spoke up at this time: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's feelings towards Zhen are just temporary, but you are the one he loves forever."

Concubine Hua glanced at her and said, "Of course I know this, but I am really angry when I see Zhen. Look at the records of the Jingshifang yourself. Zhen Huan has been sleeping with you for seven consecutive days!"

Concubine Li was silent. She couldn't refute this. Besides, the emperor hadn't visited her for a long time, but he had been to Zhen Huan for seven days in a row. After all, she was jealous.

"Alright, there's no point in saying more. I asked you to come here, and you can only listen to my complaints, but you can't help me solve my problems." Concubine Hua looked at the two of them with disdain.

"Speaking of which, since Zhen Huan is busy serving the Emperor right now, why don't I teach her good sister, Shen Meizhuang." Concubine Hua smiled, "Didn't the Emperor ask her to learn how to do accounting? Then I will teach her well."

Cao Qinmo and Lipin looked at each other and knew that Concubine Hua was going to take out her anger on Shen Meiyu.

But they both lowered their heads at the same time in a rare tacit understanding. It was better for Concubine Hua to take her anger out on others than on them.

When it was time for dinner, Concubine Hua swallowed the food in her mouth and asked Songzhi, "Did the emperor go to Suiyuxuan again tonight?"

"To answer your question, the Emperor went to Concubine Qi today," Songzhi replied in a low voice.

Hua Fei was about to pick up some food when she paused: "Why did the emperor go to that bitch Qi Fei's place?"

"I...I don't know. Maybe the emperor is just in a spur of the moment mood. After all, the emperor hasn't visited Concubine Qi for nearly half a year." Song Zhi glanced at Concubine Hua's face and said tentatively.

Hua Fei slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table and said coldly, "Isn't Qi Fei relying on the fact that she has a stupid and foolish Third Prince? If...if I also have a child, it will definitely be ten or a hundred times smarter than the Third Prince!"

"Your Highness is right," Songzhi tried to comfort her, "but didn't Your Highness say today that she wanted to teach Lady Shen how to read the account book? Shall I send someone to ask her?"

Hua Fei took the soft handkerchief handed to her by Lingzhi and wiped her mouth, then said slowly, "Then go and ask Concubine Shen to come over. I happen to be free today, so I will teach her a lesson!"

"Yes, I'll ask Zhou Ninghai to ask Concubine Shen to come over." Songzhi breathed a sigh of relief. With Shen Meizhuang here to take responsibility, her queen would not take her and Lingzhi out on it.

After saying that, Songzhi hurried out. When she got outside, she pulled Zhou Ninghai and said, "Go quickly and invite Concubine Shen over. The queen is worried."

Zhou Ninghai was also an old man who had been with Concubine Hua. How could he not understand Concubine Hua's temperament? Hearing Songzhi say this, he could probably guess that Concubine Hua was unhappy because the emperor had gone to Concubine Qi's place tonight, so he quickly agreed: "You go and persuade the queen first, I'll go to Cunju Hall now."

Songzhi nodded, turned around and went back in.

When Shen Meizhuang heard Zhou Ninghai say that Concubine Hua wanted to see her at this time and also said that she wanted to teach her how to read the account books, she knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she couldn't not go. If she didn't go, what if Concubine Hua took advantage of the situation and asked the emperor to take away the power that allowed her to learn how to assist in managing the affairs of the six palaces?

So even though she knew she would be in trouble, Shen Meizhuang still took Caiyue and Xiao Shi to Yikun Palace.

She couldn't give up the power to assist in managing the six palaces in the future just because of a momentary fear.

Xia Dongchun still didn't know that Shen Meizhuang was called to Yiku Palace. They didn't live together, so any news would not be able to reach her.

But she has Yun Ling by her side. Yun Ling probably remembers when Shen Meizhuang got into trouble. Xia Dongchun has been keeping an eye on her these days, so when Shen Meizhuang was called away today, she also got the news.

But even though she knew what would happen, Xia Dongchun had no way to stop it and could only watch. Firstly, the thing had not happened yet. If she said that Shen Meizhuang would be assassinated if she went to Yiku Palace, it would probably be her, not Shen Meizhuang, who would be in trouble first.

Secondly... she was a nobody at the moment, how could she compete with Concubine Hua? Even if she tried to stop them, she couldn't change anything in the end, and could only watch the events of the previous life repeat themselves.

"My lady, your relationship with Concubine Shen was not that good, and nothing really happened to Concubine Shen in the end. Why should you be so worried now?" Yun Ling said as she made the bed for Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun sighed for the first time: "Although our relationship is not good, there is no hatred between us, right? Now that she is about to fall into the water and almost died, I feel uncomfortable."

Yun Ling paused and said, "My lady, are you thinking of Noble Borjigit? After all, Noble Borjigit just fell into the water."

Xia Dongchun didn't say anything, but Yun Ling knew that she was right.

Yun Ling pursed her lips for a long while, then smiled helplessly: "I know that although you are impatient, you are kind and soft-hearted. However, we cannot control this matter. You should forget about it. If I had known that telling you would embarrass you like this, I would have kept it from you from the beginning."

"No, no," Xia Dongchun shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, "You have to tell me anything in the future, don't hide anything from me."

Yun Ling just said it, how could she not tell Xia Dongchun if there was something wrong? She nodded: "Don't worry, young lady, I just said it casually. If there is anything wrong, I will tell you. You can sleep peacefully now, this is the most important thing."

"Okay, but if it's true as you said, there will probably be more trouble in the second half of the night." Xia Dongchun curled his lips, replied slowly, and then lay down to rest.
