The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 40: The Snipe and the Clam Fight, Yin and Yang

Shen Meizhuang guessed in her heart that this little eunuch might have been specially arranged by Concubine Hua.

No matter what, my behavior today did violate the palace rules, and I don't think Concubine Hua will let me go like this.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has always been respectful and diligent to you, and has never been late for paying respects. Today is the first time, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her."

After all, Shen Meizhuang is a member of her own palace. In this situation, even if Jingpin doesn't want to cause trouble, she can't just remain silent.

"Noble Shen is a member of your Jingpin's palace. If Noble Shen makes a mistake, Jingpin is also at fault for not teaching her well."

Concubine Hua didn't even bother to look at Concubine Jing. No matter who pleaded for mercy, she would not let Shen Meizhuang go so easily today.

"Let's talk about the matter at hand."

Seeing this, the queen quickly spoke.

"Since Sister Hua Fei has such thoughts on this matter, why not speak them out for everyone to hear."

The Queen smiled and looked at Concubine Hua and said.

"Mrs. Shen's mistake today was that she relied on her favor to become arrogant and disrespectful to the Queen. According to palace rules, she should have been caned thirty times."

Hua Fei spoke in a cold tone.

After these words were spoken, Shen Meizhuang's expression suddenly became even uglier.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Hua raised the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at the frightened and nervous Shen Meizhuang with a very good mood.

Then the conversation changed.

"But considering that this is the first time Concubine Shen has made a mistake, I will fine her two months' salary. As for Concubine Jing, as the head of Xianfu Palace, you are also responsible for the mistakes made by the concubines in your palace, so you will also be fined two months' salary."

"I wonder what the Queen thinks of this treatment?"

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and looked at the Queen provocatively.

"I have done something wrong, and I am willing to be punished. However, this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jing. Please, Queen, look into this matter."

Shen Meizhuang quickly stood up and said.

Jingpin, as the queen of Xianfu Palace, was implicated by Huafei just because she pleaded for herself.

If I don't stand up at this time, wouldn't Jingpin be dissatisfied?

"Sister Hua Fei, what you said makes sense, but the New Year is coming in two months. If I stop paying my salary for two months at this time, it might be inconvenient. Let's stop it for one month."

The Queen smiled and looked at Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua didn't even bother to smile. She rolled her eyes at the Queen and was about to say something.

Concubine Shen and Concubine Jing knelt down and responded almost at the same time.

"Your humble concubine, I will always remember the Queen's teachings and will not dare to make the same mistake again."

This made Hua Fei stop talking about what she wanted to say.

"Everyone, get up."

The Queen looked at the two of them and spoke.

"A few days ago, the Emperor specially arranged for Concubine Shen to learn how to manage the affairs of the harem. Concubine Hua, you must teach Concubine Shen well in the future."

The Queen smiled faintly and looked at Concubine Hua and said.

She could naturally understand what the emperor meant. Compared to Concubine Hua, who had a strong foundation, Shen Meizhuang was easier to deal with.

Besides, when two people are fighting, it is only I, the fisherman, who will benefit, right?

When Concubine Hua heard the news, her eyebrows raised and her eyes were as sharp as blades, as if she wished she could scratch Shen Meizhuang's face.

Shen Meizhuang naturally did not miss Concubine Hua's fierce gaze, but she did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, she felt faintly proud in her heart.

Shen Meizhuang glanced at the expressionless, cold and elegant Fu Cha Zhixi inconspicuously, feeling faintly proud in her heart.

Since entering the palace, among all the newcomers, only Xiang Guiren has had everything weighed down on her head.

Both the grace and the reward are far superior to mine.

But the emperor did not choose her to assist in managing the six palaces, but chose himself.

Doesn't this prove that the emperor still values ​​me more?

Perhaps the favor shown to Concubine Xiang was all because of the Fucha family.

Although Shen Meizhuang knew that her thoughts were not good, she had no way to control her inner jealousy.

She thought she would be the first person to sleep with him, but it turned out to be Concubine Xiang.

That would have been fine, but Concubine Xiang could wait for the emperor in Chengqian Palace, but she could only be wrapped like a dumpling and carried to the Yangxin Palace.

How could she not be upset when his attitudes were so different before and after?

Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor specially gave her his favorite green chrysanthemum, but they ignored the fact that the emperor planted two rarer yellow magnolias in the yard for Concubine Xiang.

She heard the news by chance from the young eunuchs who came to deliver green chrysanthemums.

However, because of this green chrysanthemum, he attracted everyone's attention, and Concubine Hua deliberately made trouble for him.

Xiang Guiren obviously got something more precious, but she just sat there and watched herself being punished as if it had nothing to do with her.

How can I not feel jealous when faced with such unfairness?

As Concubine Hua watched Shen Meizhuang's complexion improve, she became even more vicious towards her.

It’s okay to steal the green chrysanthemum, it’s just a toy.

I didn't expect that the other party would dare to snatch the power of assistant manager of the six palaces from me. He is really so bold.

"I originally thought that the emperor valued Concubine Xiang the most, but I didn't expect it to be Concubine Shen."

"This really surprised me."

"As expected, being favored for a short time in this palace is nothing. It is considered a skill to be favored for a long time. Don't you think so, Xiang Guiren?"

Concubine Hua also hated Concubine Xiang who had taken away her favor, and she provoked her in a bad tone.

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Concubine Hua calmly, without any emotion caused by Concubine Hua's words.

"Replying to Empress Hua, you are right."

Fu Cha Zhixi’s main character is a person who doesn’t understand what you mean, and if you ask me whether I am right or not, then I am right.

"???"

Concubine Hua was completely dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Concubine Hua was so angry at Fu Cha Zhixi's calm expression that she clenched her handkerchief tightly in her hand.

"Mrs. Shen is quite capable. It has only been a short time since you entered the palace, but the emperor has granted you permission to learn how to manage harem affairs from me. You must not disappoint the emperor."

Concubine Hua vented all the anger she had just experienced from Fucha Zhixi on Shen Meizhuang and spoke in a sinister tone.

Anyone can hear the ill intention in the other person's words.

"I will definitely study hard with Concubine Hua and live up to the emperor's kindness."

Shen Meizhuang quickly spoke.

Concubine Qi was even angrier than Concubine Hua. You know, even though she was a high-ranking concubine, she didn't have the right to assist in managing the six palaces. She didn't expect that the new Noble Lady Shen would snatch it away.

"Yes, Lady Shen."

"You have only been here for such a short time and yet the Emperor has given you the power to assist in managing the six palaces. If you stay for longer, I don't know what will happen."

"I guess in the future, Concubine Shen will not even take my position as a concubine seriously."

Concubine Qi said in a rather sarcastic tone.

Shen Meizhuang felt that today's payment of respect took an exceptionally long time. Even with the help of the Queen from time to time, she still found it difficult to cope with the pressure from the people in the harem.
