Comprehensive film and television: male god's favorite

"See the Queen!"

The queen stepped down from the sedan chair with the help of palace maids. She glanced at the plaque of Yongshou Palace and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Is Concubine Chen in the palace?" asked the Queen.

A eunuch in charge quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine Chen is in the palace, and the Emperor is also here."

The Queen paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. The Emperor was here? This was beyond her expectation. But on second thought, it was reasonable. The newly promoted Consort Chen was naturally favored by the Emperor.

"Go and report."

"Yes."

The eunuch hurried in to report, and soon returned: "Empress, the Emperor invites you in."

The queen adjusted her dress, straightened her back, put a proper smile on her face, and walked into Yongshou Palace.

Inside the hall, Yinzhen was sitting in the main seat, with a woman in luxurious palace clothes standing next to him, with her back to the door.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you," the Queen bowed.

Yinzhen nodded slightly: "Queen, please don't be polite."

The queen stood up and looked at the woman with her back to her: "This is the new Imperial Concubine Chen, right?"

The woman turned slowly, revealing a delicate face.

The queen's smile froze on her face instantly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Huanbi?!"

No, it's not Huanbi, it's Nianhulu Chuhua, the Imperial Concubine Chen. But this face is clearly Huanbi, the maidservant beside Zhen Huan!

She stared at the familiar face in front of her, the face that once knelt humbly at her feet and flattered her carefully.

How is it possible? A palace maid suddenly became the noble Consort Chen? And was given the surname Niu Hulu?

Huanbi, no, now it should be Niuhulu Chuhua, she bowed slightly: "I am Niuhulu Chuhua, I pay my respects to the Empress."

That voice and that gesture seemed to be mocking the queen's gaffe.

Yinzhen's expression was also a little subtle. He did not expect the queen to call out the name "Huanbi" directly. But he quickly regained his composure and said lightly: "Queen, this is my concubine, Niuhulu Chuhua."

"Your Majesty..." The queen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yinzhen.

"If the Queen is coming to visit Concubine Chen, then there is no need. Concubine Chen is weak and needs to rest."

As Yinzhen spoke, he turned his gaze to Chuhuan, and his voice instantly softened: "Huan'er, are you okay?"

The concern in that tone was something the Queen had never experienced before.

Chu Hua's eyes were slightly red, and she shook her head gently: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"I'm glad you're okay." Yinzhen reached out and gently stroked Chuhuan's cheek. The action was so gentle that it made the queen jealous and crazy.

What was this? Openly showing affection in front of her?

"Your Majesty!" The Queen suppressed her anger and tried to maintain her calmness: "I am here to give some gifts to Concubine Chen."

She motioned to Jianqiu to present the gift box.

Yinzhen glanced at the gift box and said calmly, "The queen is thoughtful."

"As the mistress of the harem, I should take good care of all my sisters." The queen said, her eyes falling on Chu Huan again.

"But there is one thing I don't understand, and I hope Your Majesty can explain it to me."

"Oh?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows.

"This Imperial Concubine Chen...why does she look familiar to me?" The Queen paused, her tone hinting with tentativeness.

"I remember that there seemed to be a maidservant named Huanbi beside Lady Wan..."

She deliberately paused and observed the reactions of Yinzhen and Chuhuan.

Chu Hua's face turned pale in an instant. She clutched her sleeves tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She subconsciously looked at Yinzhen, her eyes full of help.

Yinzhen's face also darkened, but he did not answer the queen immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Chu Huan and said in a low and powerful voice: "Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid?

The queen sneered in her heart. She wanted to see how the emperor would cover up this lie.

Yinzhen held Chuhua's hand and pulled her to his side, then looked at the queen and said in a frighteningly calm tone: "Queen, you've got the wrong person."

"Wrong person?" The Queen almost laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, my eyes are not that bad."

"If I say you admitted your mistake, then you admitted your mistake." Yinzhen's voice turned cold, with unquestionable majesty.

"Your Majesty..." The Queen wanted to argue, but Yinzhen did not give her the chance.

"If the Queen has nothing else to say, please leave." Yinzhen said, helping Chu Huan to stand up.

"I will accompany the concubine to rest."

"Your Majesty!" The Queen was anxious.

However, Yinzhen seemed not to hear it and just left.

The queen stood there like a stone statue.

Jianqiu supported her carefully, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace." Jianqiu's voice was trembling.

The queen came back to her senses, her eyes empty.

"Back to the palace? Back to where? Jingren Palace?"

"Can my Jingren Palace still accommodate me?"

Jianqiu didn't dare to respond and could only lower her head.

The queen walked very slowly, step by step.

Every step feels like walking on the edge of a knife.

Back at Jingren Palace, the Queen dismissed everyone.

She sat alone at her dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Why? Why is it Huanbi?"

The Queen muttered to herself, her voice full of confusion and anger.

"Doesn't the Emperor love my sister the most? How are Huanbi and Chunyuan similar?"

She couldn't figure it out, she really couldn't figure it out.

She had witnessed the emperor's feelings for Chun Yuan.

How could that kind of deep affection, that kind of unforgettable feeling, just disappear like that?

Could it be that the emperor really has a change of heart?

But if he changed his heart, why did it have to be Huanbi?

The more the queen thought about it, the more confused she became and her headache worsened.

She stood up, walked to the window and looked at the night outside.

The night was dark, just like her mood at the moment.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death."

There was a flash of determination in the queen's eyes.

She couldn't let Huanbi, no, Nianhulu Chuhua, step on her head like this.

"Jianqiu!" the queen shouted.

Jianqiu came in quickly: "What do you want, Madam?"

"Go, call Jiang Fuhai to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Fuhai was the Queen's trusted eunuch and the chief steward of Jingren Palace.

He came quickly and knelt before the Queen.

"This slave pays my respects to the queen."

"Get up." The queen said lightly.

"I'm asking you, is there any movement in Yongshou Palace?"

Jiang Fuhai replied: "Your Majesty, everything in Yongshou Palace is normal, there is nothing unusual."

"Nothing unusual?" The queen sneered.

"A palace maid suddenly became a royal concubine. Is this normal?"

Jiang Fuhai didn't dare to speak.

"Go and keep an eye on Yongshou Palace for me. Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Jiang Fuhai left, the queen fell into deep thought again.

She must find out why the emperor suddenly favors Huanbi.

There must be some unspeakable secret behind this.
