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

Yangxindian

"Has the stuff been delivered?"

"How is your health, Miss Xiang?"

When the emperor saw Su Peisheng coming back, he put down the memorial in his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty, my lady looks much better than before. When the gifts were delivered to her, she liked them very much."

Su Peisheng lowered his head and spoke in a flattering tone.

"As long as she likes it."

"Xiang Guiren has been ill for such a long time, why hasn't she fully recovered yet?"

The emperor couldn't help but frowned and asked Su Peisheng with an unfriendly look.

"Is it because the people who serve us are not attentive enough, or are the doctors in the Imperial Hospital not very skilled?"

"Your Majesty, I see that the young lady is in much better condition than before. When I went there just now, she was already able to get out of bed and sit up."

"I think the maids and eunuchs who came to serve should have taken good care of the young lady."

Su Peisheng quickly opened his mouth to explain.

"As for the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, they are all experts in the field. I think their medical skills must be excellent."

"I guess the young lady is probably missing you, Your Majesty. She is so exhausted because of you."

Su Peisheng carefully observed the emperor's expression, and at the same time signaled the eunuch following behind him to present the things.

"When I left, Lady Xiang specifically told me to bring this thing to Your Majesty."

There was a hint of interest in the emperor's eyes.

"Oh, I want to see what this little girl asked you to bring me."

When the emperor picked it up, he found that it was actually an exquisitely embroidered purse with an elegant and beautiful magnolia flower embroidered on it.

The emperor could tell at a glance that the flower was probably embroidered according to the magnolia pattern he had sent over, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

No one would hate the feeling of having a gift they give out being cherished, and the emperor is no exception.

He moved his fingers holding the purse slightly and felt as if there was something inside the purse.

"Is there anything in here?"

As the emperor spoke, he reached out and opened the purse.

Upon closer inspection, there was actually a piece of magnolia letter inside.

When I opened the thing, I saw a poem written in extremely elegant calligraphy on it - the moon is bright, the flowers are pale, which arouses lovesickness.

It seems that this little girl really misses me too much as Su Peisheng said.

I have been busy with state affairs these past two days and haven't been able to visit Xier much. It's normal for Xier to miss me.

The emperor put the things back into his purse with a smile on his face.

He took out a piece of rice paper from the table, spread it out, and wrote a poem with a stroke of his brush - Colorful paper, red face's tears, only two hearts know.

"Su Peisheng, give this to your Lady Xiang and tell her that I will go to see her after I finish my state affairs."

The emperor said to Su Peisheng.

"Slave, let's do it now."

Su Peisheng quickly bent forward and took the thing down.

Yikun Palace

"What a bitch!"

"She actually pretended to be so shameless as to trick the emperor into giving her all the Dongzhu. How shameless she is!"

Hua Fei angrily stretched out her hand and slammed the table hard, but she felt that it was not enough to vent her anger, so she threw the white porcelain tea set on the table to the ground.

"Why should your majesty be angry?"

Seeing this, Songzhi quickly ordered the servants to come in and clean up the porcelain fragments, while also comforting her.

"The reason why he gave the Dongzhu to Xiang Guiren is that he is afraid of the Fucha family behind her. However, the emperor would rather give Xiang Guiren something as compensation than punish the queen. Doesn't this show his love for the queen?"

Songzhi originally said this just to comfort Concubine Hua, but the more she spoke, the more she felt that what she said made sense.

"Is that right?"

Concubine Hua frowned slightly, and after carefully pondering Songzhi's words, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was some truth in it.

"What you said does make some sense. I think the emperor cares about me the most."

"It's just a pity that the string of pearls was lost. It really got away with that pretentious bitch!"

Concubine Hua thought about the string of oriental pearls that could only belong to the Queen. She had never even gotten one in all the years she had been in the palace, but now, by some strange combination of circumstances, it had fallen into the hands of the bitch Fucha Zhixi.

In her heart, she wished she could scratch Fu Cha Zhixi's face with a knife so that she would never dare to seduce the emperor again.

"My lady, as for Dongzhu, you don't have to be angry."

"If anyone is going to be angry, it should be the Empress in Jingren Palace who is more angry."

Songzhi quickly pulled the queen out, trying to distract Concubine Hua from the tightness in her chest.

"You're right. The queen, that pretentious old woman, must be vomiting to death by now."

As expected, happiness is achieved through comparison. When Concubine Hua thought of the queen who was even more miserable than herself, she suddenly felt much better.

Concubine Hua leaned lazily on the beauty couch with a sneer on her lips.

The queen, an old and ugly woman, likes to pretend to be virtuous and generous. Now she wants to see if the queen can continue to pretend.

The Queen is not only capable, but extremely capable.

It was the first time that Fu Cha Zhixi came to pay her respects after her illness, and it was rare for Concubine Hua to arrive on time.

As soon as Fu Cha Zhixi came in, the other concubines glared at her viciously, as if they wanted to tear her apart alive.

"Greetings to the Queen."

In response to these looks, Fu Cha Zhixi said he saw nothing.

If these people like to watch, let them watch. Anyway, I get real benefits, so I don’t mind being stared at by them.

"Get up, Lady Xiang."

The queen still looked at everyone with her loving smile as always.

"Since Xiang Guiren is not feeling well, she should rest more. There is no need for her to rush over to pay her respects to me so early."

Upon seeing this, the Queen took the initiative to express her concern.

"Your Majesty is kind and loving, so I naturally cannot take advantage of your favor and become arrogant. Paying respects is a rule set by our ancestors, and I dare not violate it."

Fu Cha Zhixi spoke to the Queen with a very respectful look on her face.

The little face that was deliberately painted white, the bloodless lips, and the smoky blue Manchu dress made her look even more lovable.

"Don't you dare to be arrogant because of your favor?"

Concubine Hua opened fire first.

"As a concubine, you seduce the emperor to come to you even though you are ill. You are abandoning the emperor's health."

"Lady Xiang, you know your mistake!"

Hua Fei and Fu Cha Zhixi have been together for such a long time, so she naturally knows each other's character. She asked sternly by name.

"I don't know."

How could Fu Cha Zhixi admit this mistake? This was a typical example of Concubine Hua's unreasonable behavior. Unless she was stupid, she would not admit it.

"I am the emperor's concubine. It is my duty to serve the emperor. How can this be considered as seducing the emperor?"

"Secondly, it is His Majesty's own choice as to where he wants to go. I, a concubine, do not have the ability to dare to disobey His Majesty and influence his decision."
