This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 20 Three Slaps

"Look at your natural beauty. Back then, you were favored three times in one night and no one could match you. Now, you are wearing heavy makeup. You are no longer as pretty as a lotus out of pure water. Not to mention the emperor, even I feel upset when I see you."

"I know that I am old and ugly, and I cannot compare with the younger sisters in the palace."

"You should dress according to your age. Go down and think about it carefully."

After being severely scolded by Concubine Hua, Lipin went down in disgrace.

She didn't understand why Concubine Hua suddenly got angry while talking. Concubine Cao did have a daughter, she was right.

With resentment in her heart, Concubine Li left Yiku Palace and returned to Qixiang Palace. She immediately sent someone to pass a message to Suiyuxuan, allowing Kang Luhai to come and serve her.

A few days ago, Kang Luhai praised her beauty as the best in the palace, but now that Concubine Hua rejected her opinion, Lipin needed high recognition from others.

Just after sending away Concubine Li, Cao Qinmo brought Princess Wen Yi to Yikun Palace.

Concubine Hua just felt annoyed. She didn't even have time to drink a few sips of hot tea. She had to deal with one after another with her mind on the matter.

Concubine Hua thought about how Cao Qinmo betrayed the Nian family and herself in her previous life, and she wished Zhou Ninghai would throw her directly into the well.

After being reborn for a long time, she had been avoiding Cao Qinmo for fear that she would be furious and slap him in the face when they met.

Wait, why can't you just give him a slap in the face?

Anyway, I am an arrogant and domineering person in the harem.

I've been pretending to be sick for so long that I've forgotten my true self.

"I am here to see Her Majesty Hua Fei. I heard that Her Majesty has recovered and the Emperor has restored Her Majesty's authority to assist in the management of the six palaces. I am here with Wen Yite to congratulate you."

"Snapped!"

Concubine Hua slapped her, and half of Cao Qinmo's hair bun was messed up.

"Your Majesty, I don't know..."

"Snapped!"

Cao Qinmo was stunned by the slap from Concubine Hua. Just when she was about to open her mouth to argue, Concubine Hua slapped her again, and the bun on the other side of her hair was also messed up.

Cao Qinmo panicked. She was afraid that Concubine Hua already knew the purpose of her visit to Yikun Palace.

A few days ago, Cao Qinmo heard rumors that Concubine Hua had met Princess Linglong in the Imperial Garden. The next day, Concubine Xin brought Princess Linglong to Yikun Palace and talked for a long time. It seemed that Concubine Hua liked Princess Linglong very much.

Cao Qinmo was afraid that Concubine Hua was going to give up on her and support Concubine Xin, so she hurriedly brought Wen Yi to Yikun Palace to make her presence felt and to find out Concubine Hua's intentions.

If it were any other time, she would never want Wen Yi to show up in front of Concubine Hua.

"Your Majesty, this concubine..."

"Snapped!"

Cao Qinmo mustered up the courage to speak once again, but this time, before she could finish her words, Concubine Hua slapped her in the face again.

There was an obvious slap mark on Cao Qinmo's right cheek.

"You know what you did wrong." Hua Fei rubbed her wrist, and the pent-up anger in her heart was relieved a little. "Wen Yi stays here, and you go back to the palace to reflect on yourself."

"Miss!"

Hua Fei's fierce look

Cao Qinmo was scared. Hua Fei's keeping Wen Yi was tantamount to asking for her life.

A huge hatred surged in her heart. If she had the chance, she would make sure Concubine Hua was doomed.

She had had this thought countless times, and Cao Qinmo had long forgotten why she was favored and why she had the opportunity to give birth to Wen Yi.

When Cao Qinmo had difficulty giving birth, it was Concubine Hua who invited the best imperial physician in the palace and took out the hundred-year-old ginseng given to her by the Nian family to save her life.

Later, when she entered the palace, Concubine Hua fought for her to keep Wen Yi by her side, and she forgot all this.

She only remembered Hua Fei's rage and bad temper.

She was unwilling to be inferior to others, but had to rely on Concubine Hua for some chance of survival.

She hated the Nian family's enormous power, and she hated that Concubine Hua could live so recklessly.

If she had the chance, she would destroy it all.

Cao Qin nodded in agreement and walked out.

The news that Cao Qinmo walked all the way back to Qixiang Palace from Yiku Palace with a red and swollen face and loose hair spread throughout the palace immediately.

It happened that An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu were on their way to Sui Yuxuan. They heard the palace servants talking about this incident along the street. When they arrived at Sui Yuxuan, they immediately told the story to Zhen Huan.

"Isn't Concubine Cao the concubine of Concubine Hua? Could the rumors be false?" Zhen Huan sat on the couch, covered with a small quilt, listening to Shen and An talking about this strange thing.

"Although everyone in the palace said so, she didn't visit Concubine Hua many times when she was ill. It shows that not all rumors can be trusted."

When Concubine Shen saw that Zhen Huan was burning silver charcoal, she felt much more relieved. She had always been worried that the servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs would flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and would destroy Yuxuan.

"But all the servants in the palace saw Concubine Cao with her swollen face and disheveled hair." An Lingrong was a little afraid of Concubine Hua's cruel methods, but she was also a little secretly happy.

Cao Qinmo was a noble yet she was beaten by Concubine Hua, but she was taken care of by Concubine Hua on her first day in the palace. It can be seen that Concubine Hua is not a person who cares about birth or status.

"Perhaps Concubine Cao really did something wrong, but we just don't know it. I have been learning how to manage household affairs in Yiku Palace with Concubine Hua these days. I have seen that she is lenient and strict, and knows how to relax and work in moderation. She is not an unreasonable person." Shen Meizhuang's eyes sparkled when she talked about Concubine Hua.

"Maybe. I'm afraid that Concubine Cao won't be able to leave the palace in the next few days." Zhen Huan had a kind of trust in Shen Meizhuang that didn't need any reason.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I see that even though you are ill, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not treated you harshly. I feel relieved." Concubine Shen changed the subject. She didn't like Cao Qinmo, who had no gratitude at all.

"This is a huge misunderstanding, Lady Shen." Liuzhu was serving on the side, and when she heard Shen Meizhuang say this, she couldn't help but interrupt.

"You see, the winter clothes for our young master and the servant Suiyuxuan were all made by ourselves. This silver charcoal was a reward from Concubine Hua a few days ago for Xiao Yunzi making a windmill for Princess Linglong."

"Stop talking too much!" Zhen Huan wanted to stop Liuzhu, but Liuzhu was too quick to speak.

"Those servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to deduct their master's share. I must return to Concubine Hua and have her punish them severely."

"Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Concubine Hua only has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and managing the six palaces is already very difficult. It's better not to cause trouble for her."

Zhen Huan thought of what Shen Meiyu had said before, that the servants in the palace took advantage of her because she was young and shameless, and pretended to obey Shen Meiyu's instructions but actually disobeyed them. She felt that perhaps it was not easy for Concubine Hua to help manage the six palaces.

Moreover, Concubine Hua seemed to have foresight. She sent a lot of silver charcoal needed for the winter, as well as cotton and cloth for winter clothes early on.

When Zhen Huan thought of these things, she felt grateful.

The friendship of helping others in times of need is extremely rare, not to mention that Hua Fei, who is in a high position, can still think of herself, a concubine living in seclusion and without favor. Zhen Huan has even more respect and protectiveness for Hua Fei in her heart.
