I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 112 Fu Cha Yi Xin (17)

Nian Gengyao came back, and the emperor, in order to show his favor, specially invited Concubine Hua to have dinner with him.

No one warned Nian Gengyao in advance, and Nian Gengyao was a person who was easily distracted. He also felt that he was the emperor's brother-in-law, and now he had pacified the northwest and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, so he started to act pretentiously.

Nian Gengyao didn't like eating mutton, but the emperor had someone bring him a plate of roasted mutton. The Nian family was proud and arrogant, and Nian Gengyao felt that the emperor had forgotten his preferences. He was a little angry, but he didn't say anything.

If he told the emperor himself, how could he show his difference from other ministers in front of the emperor?

But he was very angry because there was no response at all, so he deliberately made trouble and insisted that Su Peisheng pick the mutton for him to imply that he was unhappy.

But unfortunately, the emperor and Nian Gengyao's brain waves were not connected. The emperor only saw that Nian Gengyao was too powerful and unruly.

The emperor even began to drift into darkness again. If Nian Gengyao dared to be so disrespectful when he met the emperor in Beijing, then when he was in the local area, wouldn't he have become a local emperor?

Concubine Hua was also frightened by Nian Gengyao's behavior, and she ate the meal in fear.

When the emperor asked Nian Gengyao to escort Concubine Hua back to the palace, she complained to him on the way, but he quickly calmed her down. Nian Gengyao then asked Concubine Hua if she had any problems in the palace, which immediately ignited Concubine Hua's emotions.

Concubine Hua complained to her brother in grievance, "Others are fine. Although Concubine Zhuang has become a concubine now, she is still respectful to me as always. Last time the emperor awarded her five pieces of floating brocade, she gave one to the queen and me respectively, and the remaining three pieces of clothing were also given one to each of the three people in the Yanxi Palace. It can be seen that she treats the queen and me equally. Only that Zhen Huan, who is now just a small noble, dares to ridicule me repeatedly.

Brother, you don’t know, one time the Emperor was staying at my place, but was intercepted by that vixen Zhen Huan. Because of this, I was laughed at in the palace for a long time.”

How dare someone bully Nian Gengyao's sister?

How could Nian Gengyao tolerate this?

"Don't worry. Since this noble lady Wan dared to embarrass you in the palace, I will go back and ask someone to go to Zhen Yuandao to see if she dares to embarrass you again!" Nian Gengyao said this with murderous intent.

After hearing what her second brother said, Concubine Hua smiled again.

Nian Gengyao was an absolute man of action. He had just promised Concubine Hua that Zhen Yuandao would be punished, and the next day his followers listed 81 pieces of evidence of Zhen Yuandao's crimes in the court.

After reading the series of evidence of Zhen Yuandao's crimes listed by Nian Gengyao's followers, Yi Xin felt anxious. How come Nian Gengyao couldn't find the right target for him?

"Yunhui, go tell Father to help Nian Gengyao." Yixin wanted to take this opportunity to let Yunhui reveal Huanbi's life story.

Yi Xin thought that Nian Gengyao was very popular right now, but Country Garden collapsed ahead of schedule, so Zhen Yuandao and the others could return to their second hometown Ningguta ahead of schedule.

But she underestimated how much the emperor cared about Zhen Huan.

Nian Gengyao was indeed very powerful. After a member of the Fucha family revealed the news to Nian Gengyao, he asked his followers to praise Zhen Yuandao the next day.

Nian Gengyao's followers reported that Zhen Yuandao secretly married the daughter of a criminal and secretly sent the criminal's daughter into the palace, attempting to harm the emperor and shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. They committed the heinous crime of exterminating nine generations of the clan!

The censor spoke these words with great passion, as if Zhen Yuandao was an evil official who had committed some unforgivable crime.

But in fact, taking the daughter of a criminal minister as his concubine and sending Huanbi into the palace, to put it mildly, was because Zhen Yuandao was not well-behaved and had bad personal ethics; to put it more seriously, it was what the censors of Nian Gengyao's party said. Whether to give a heavy or light sentence was actually up to the emperor.

Considering that the Emperor still likes Zhen Huan very much at this stage, and has even gradually let Zhen Huan go to the Yangxin Palace to serve as a clerk, he certainly will not send Zhen Huan's parents to Happy Home at this time.

But everyone with a discerning eye knew that the censor was impeaching Zhen Yuandao at the behest of Nian Gengyao, who had just returned from a military campaign and could not deny him any face. The emperor thought about it and finally decided to cut Zhen Yuandao into pieces and let him go home to eat his own food. As for Huanbi, she was originally used as a palace maid, and now that he knew her identity was not innocent, the emperor simply beat her to death.

When the news that Zhen's father was dismissed from office and returned home reached the harem, it goes without saying how sad Zhen Huan was. The only people who were happy besides Hua Fei's party was An Lingrong. No, there were two An Lingrongs.

The local An Lingrong is secretly happy that she is no longer the one with the lowest family background among the concubines; the An Lingrong with a heart of Lingrong and a skin of Yi Xin is mindlessly happy as long as Zhen Huan is in trouble.

Concubine Hua is a person who doesn't know when to quit. Zhen Huan had offended her badly before, so she wanted to give the fallen dog a beating.

Hua Fei mentioned that the day when Zhen Huan took away her favor was too embarrassing, so she used Qi Fei as an example.

It is said that Zhen Huan had snatched the Emperor away from Concubine Qi by singing the song Xiang Fei Yuan. So Concubine Hua took advantage of the fact that the Emperor came to accompany her that night to call Zhen Huan to play the piano and sing.

After all, when it comes to humiliating people, it has to be Concubine Hua?

Concubine Hua called Zhen Huan and asked her to play a cheerful song for her and the emperor.

When Concubine Hua gave the first order, Zhen Huan looked eagerly at the emperor, hoping that he would make the decision for her. But unfortunately, the emperor avoided her pleading eyes.

The emperor was unreliable, so Zhen Huan had no choice but to follow Hua Fei's instructions and play a cheerful song. After the song was over, Zhen Huan thought that Hua Fei had achieved her goal of making her sad and embarrassed, and would let her go.

But she underestimated Hua Fei's bravery. How could Zhen Huan avenge her being deprived of favor by only letting her play and sing for a short while?

Concubine Hua asked Zhen Huan to play for more than an hour, but finally, seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, Concubine Hua let Zhen Huan go without much satisfaction. Before she left, she gave Zhen Huan a jade pendant and some silver, just like she was giving a reward to the lowest-class palace maids in the Jiaofang Division.

When Zhen Huan returned, she hugged her only remaining loyal servant Liu Zhu and cried loudly.

This is different from the original plot. In the original plot, Concubine Hua wanted to humiliate An Lingrong, and Zhen Huan, out of a deep sisterly love, took the initiative to help take the blame.

Moreover, at that time, An Lingrong sang for a long time and the emperor did not say anything. When Concubine Hua was tormenting Zhen Huan, the emperor could not sit still and asked them to go back. Maybe Zhen Huan was still happy in her heart that the emperor treated her differently from others.

And, most importantly, in the last life, Zhen Huan confronted Concubine Hua again and won. The only one who felt humiliated at that time was An Lingrong.

On the contrary, Zhen Huan gained the emperor's good impression of her as "loyal", "the embodiment of justice", and "brilliant in writing", and An Lingrong's gratitude and touching sisterhood. Moreover, under the premise that Hua Fei had such a big advantage, she still won, and Zhen Huan might have been even more proud of herself.

But this time, Concubine Hua specifically asked her to sing for money and treated her as a singing girl for her amusement. The emperor turned a blind eye to Concubine Hua's evil deeds at first, but only came out to smooth things over when he saw that he could no longer bear it.

There is a huge difference between the two. How could Zhen Huan not feel ashamed and angry, and hate them?
