"Haha, what the Queen said is true. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really miss you!"

Faced with the Queen's seemingly concerned but actually sarcastic words, Concubine Hua narrowed her eyes and immediately fought back without thinking.

"Oh, sister, you look so good, are you recovered from your illness?"

The Queen stared at Concubine Hua's face for a long time, and then, as if she had just reacted, she let out a cry of surprise, and then said, "I originally thought that you were ill and it was not suitable for you to go out, so I exempted my sister from the ceremony of greeting. Now that my sister has recovered, we can come and visit often in the future!"

When the Queen said this, even Hua Fei, who was the slowest to react, understood her subtext.

Since she had been "sick" before, she could accept not coming to pay her respects or greet her, and everyone could understand that.

But now that you, Concubine Hua, have come to me yourself, everything must be done according to the rules!

Hua Fei heard the Queen's hidden meaning, but her eyes changed slightly, and then she said: "It's been a long time since we last met, I really should pay my respects to the Queen!"

"Okay."

The Queen smiled and sat back on her throne, looking at Concubine Hua leisurely, waiting for her to salute her.

Although Hua Fei's arrival was somewhat unexpected, the Queen still quickly seized the initiative.

Concubine Hua came to Jingren Palace definitely not to pay her respects to her. Her real purpose was nothing more than to show off in front of many concubines and demonstrate her presence!

It’s a pity that the complacent Concubine Hua overlooked the most important point!

That means the current queen is still Unalana!

No matter how much the Emperor loves Concubine Hua, the Queen is the Queen and the master of the six palaces!

Since she is sitting here, Concubine Hua has to pay her respects!

"Good luck to the Queen. I wish the Queen a long and healthy life!"

No matter how upset Concubine Hua felt, she knew that she had unknowingly fallen into the Queen's trap.

Now in public, Concubine Hua felt deeply humiliated, but still had to salute the Queen.

However, in the eyes of others, Hua Fei's "paying respects" could be said to be extremely casual.

Not to mention her nonchalant tone, even Hua Fei's action was just a slight bow, which showed that she was extremely reluctant in her heart.

"Hahaha, then I will accept your kind words, sister."

But the queen sitting on the throne seemed to hear nothing and could not see anything wrong, but accepted Hua Fei's gift with a smile.

"My lady..."

Concubine Li was a person without tact to begin with. She had suffered injustice from Concubine Qi before, but she couldn't vent her anger. When she saw Concubine Hua coming, she felt that she had found her "big brother". She seemed to have found her backbone and she instantly gained confidence. She whispered to Concubine Hua.

"What's wrong!"

Concubine Hua is in a very bad mood now, and all this is thanks to the smiling Queen. She is already feeling irritable, and Concubine Li is looking timid, which undoubtedly intensifies her anger.

"Nothing... I just miss you, Madam!"

Although Lipin had no tact and did not know how to judge the situation, she looked at Huafei's livid face out of instinct and did not dare to say at this time that she had failed to stand up to Qifei.

Lipin's intuition told her that if she told him now, not only would she not receive any comfort from Concubine Hua, but she would also be more likely to be angered by her!

"Oh, by the way, Sister Hua Fei, I was just about to talk to you."

The Queen looked at this scene, as if she suddenly remembered this incident, and said: "Lipin was very disrespectful to Qifei before. I have already taught her a lesson, but considering that she and you have a good relationship, I have to say something to you. We are all elders in the palace, and we have the responsibility to guide the concubines. How can Lipin serve the emperor well if she is so reckless? Fortunately, Qifei is considerate and did not care about it. But if she was so rude in front of the emperor, I am afraid I would lose face!"

The Queen's words were extremely fluent, and she directly praised Concubine Qi as a "good person" who knew the big picture. While Concubine Li's arrogance and disrespect for her superiors were certainly her own fault, it was also because Concubine Hua had not fulfilled her responsibility to teach her.

Concubine Hua just listened to the Queen's nonsense with her eyes wide open. In the end, she was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She turned around, glared at Concubine Li, and left in anger.

"Miss!"

Concubine Li felt very wronged, but in front of the Queen, she dared not say anything and could only follow Concubine Hua.

The Queen successfully slapped Concubine Hua in the face, and she thought she had turned the tables. She didn't care about their leaving without informing her, and then said to everyone, "Forget it, you all leave too!"

An Lingrong and the others watched such a good show for nothing and felt it was worth it. When they saw the Queen spoke again, they saw no point in staying any longer and left one after another.

……

"I didn't expect Concubine Hua to come here at this time. It's a pity that this time it backfired."

On the way back, Zhen Huan said this to An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang was not originally on their way, but because she met Concubine Hua, she became a little nervous, thinking that Liu Bin would soon attack her again.

In order to appease her good sister and also to discuss the next countermeasures, Zhen Huan discussed with An Lingrong and together they led people to escort Shen Meizhuang back to Xianfu Palace.

"Yes."

Shen Meizhuang nodded, looking a little frightened.

She had dared to speak frankly to Lipin before, not only because what she said was all true and she could speak up for justice, but also because she felt that sooner or later she would have to compete with Huafei's camp. In fact, at this moment, she had already become a target in the other party's mind, so naturally she had no extra fear.

Having said that, when Shen Meizhuang saw Hua Fei, who had not appeared in public for a long time, reappear, she still felt a little uneasy.

Especially before leaving, when Concubine Hua turned back, that meaningful look fell on Shen Meizhuang, making her feel uneasy.

"Sister Mei, you don't have to worry too much."

An Lingrong said, "Hua Fei is now eager to restore her prestige in the palace, so her primary enemy must be the Queen. The incident in Jingren Palace before was enough to prove it. Besides, everyone is afraid of Hua Fei, and some of them hate her. She has made many enemies, so she can't take care of us for the time being."

From the perspective of an outsider, An Lingrong saw things very clearly.

Although Hua Fei's current status is closely related to the emperor's favor for her, it is also because of the support of the Nian family. In this regard, it is Xiao He who makes her successful and Xiao He who makes her fail!
