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

Chapter 32: Family Property

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Concubine Hua was really frightened by Yongzheng's actions.

"Your hands are cold, let me warm them for you." Yongzheng leaned his head against Hua Fei's neck and took a deep breath. "What a nice smell~"

"The Emperor gave me the Huan Yi Xiang, and I use it every day, so my body is covered with this scent." When Hua Fei said this, her body involuntarily stiffened a little.

"By the way, I like this smell, and only you have it. I'll go to your place tonight." With the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Yongzheng's body reacted, and Hua Fei naturally felt it.

"I have been having a good time these days. Your Majesty, please don't bother me. It's better to go to my other sisters." Hua Fei deliberately rubbed herself in Yongzheng's arms, put her arms around Yongzheng's neck, and said coquettishly.

Concubine Hua did not lie, she was indeed having her period, so her hands would be cold if she didn't cover them with a hand warmer.

Yongzheng felt his lower abdomen tighten even more: "Bad girl, wait a few days, I will come to see you again."

Yongzheng and Hua Fei were being affectionate, and Hua Fei was finding it difficult to escape when Xiao Xiazi came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang and Concubine Xia are dead."

When Concubine Hua saw Xiao Xiazi coming in, she suddenly stood up from Yongzheng's arms and adjusted her posture.

Concubine Hua was very upset, but when she looked at the Emperor, there was no expression on his face, as if he understood everything.

In the previous life, after Concubine Hua died, Cao Qinmo was secretly sent to the Imperial Hospital by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager and slowly killed.

Hua Fei didn't know what would happen to Cao Qinmo, but after living a new life, she had a great fear of life and death.

Concubine Hua hated Cao Qinmo, but she never thought of letting her die in this life.

Concubine Hua did not intend to have any life on her hands in this life.

There are so many ways in this world that can make people miserable and miserable, and death is the most painful way.

"I understand. Concubine Xiang will be buried in the imperial mausoleum with the rites of a concubine. As for Concubine Xia, let the Empress take care of it." The news about Xiao Xiazi suddenly made Yongzheng lose interest. Yongzheng crossed his legs, twisted a jade bead in his hand, and gave the order lightly.

Concubine Hua suppressed the surging thoughts in her heart and looked at Yongzheng, trying to find out something from the emperor's face.

But seeing that Yongzheng had regained his emperor's cold and majestic demeanor, he bowed and left.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace and sitting on the sedan chair, Concubine Hua still found it hard to believe that Concubine Xiang was dead.

Before she committed suicide in her previous life, Cao Qinmo had just been named Xiangpin and should have enjoyed great glory. But how come in this life, she died just two days after becoming Xiangpin?

Unless, in the previous life, Cao Qinmo had the same ending.

In order to confirm her guess, Concubine Hua called Zhou Ninghai to investigate.

Concubine Hua was a little uncomfortable with the fact that one of her great enemies was gone just like that, so she ordered Songzhi to turn the sedan chair around and go back to Xianfu Palace.

Anyway, now that he and Xianfu Palace are tied together, it's an open secret and there's nothing to be secretive about.

In Xianfu Palace, Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing were together teasing Wen Yi. When they heard the news that Cao Qinmo had died, they were also shocked.

Just then, Concubine Hua arrived, and the two of them wanted to ask her what was going on.

But when Concubine Hua came in and saw Wen Yi crawling all over the bed, she said she didn't know what was going on.

The news they heard was very consistent: he died suddenly of a serious illness.

Concubine Jing felt a sense of uneasy pleasure in her heart, and was even a little relieved. At least, no one was competing with her for Wen Yi. People are selfish, and this was the only time in her life that she was selfish.

After playing with Wen Yi for a while, the palace maids from Yikun Palace came to report that the New Year was almost coming. Madam Nian had sent holiday gifts to Yikun Palace from Qinghai, and he needed to go back to count them, so he returned to Yikun Palace.

Originally in this life, Concubine Hua wanted to save Cao Qinmo's life, but she didn't expect that Cao Qinmo would die like this.

In fact, a few days ago, Concubine Hua heard from the Imperial Hospital that Cao Qinmo was ill. Concubine Hua did not pay much attention to it, as she thought Cao Qinmo was really sick.

Concubine Hua thought that Cao Qinmo had been smelling the Huanyi incense with her for many years, so apart from her inability to reproduce, her body should be quite strong, and she should recover from the illness in a few days.

It was my own carelessness after all.

There is no point in thinking too much. In fact, Concubine Hua had some vague guesses about who killed Cao Qinmo, but she needed Zhou Ninghai to verify her guess for her.

Concubine Hua saw that the Yikun Palace was filled with various Northwestern specialties sent to her by her sister-in-law, including food, clothing, daily necessities, novel and fun things, and things with Northwestern characteristics.

I knew that this was not only prepared by my sister-in-law, but also by my brother.

In the past, my brother liked to bring some new and interesting things with him wherever he went.

The palace maid also presented a letter from Madam Nian to her family.

Although Nian Gengyao was born a scholar, he later became a military officer, so Mrs. Nian's letters were very straightforward.

The letter first talked about the folk customs of the Northwest. Although it is a place covered with yellow sand, the people are simple and honest, with a unique sense of humor. There are also many local folk arts. The Dunhuang dough figurine sent to Hua Fei this time was made by a local artist with excellent craftsmanship, based on the one Hua Fei made when she was a child. A pair of them were made for Hua Fei to enjoy when she is bored.

He also talked about how time flies. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nian Gengyao and Nian Fu drank and practiced boxing under the moon. When they were drunk and excited, Nian Gengyao said that he missed his sister very much. He also said that he had been fighting outside for a long time and he began to miss the past as he got older. He planned to resign from the emperor and return home to be a pastoral man after the northwest campaign.

Mrs. Nian's letter was long-winded and seemed to be just a casual chat, but a closer look revealed that it was very skillfully written. In the letter, she inadvertently mentioned that after getting drunk, Nian Gengyao often felt that everything the Nian family had now was a gift from the emperor, and he was extremely grateful for the emperor's kindness.

The rest were some casual conversations between the aunt and the sister-in-law, reminding Concubine Hua to worry less, eat more, take good care of herself, and not miss her family in the palace.

When writing excitedly, Madam Nian also boasted to Concubine Hua that she had opened several more shops in Qinghai and made a lot of money, so she asked Concubine Hua not to be reluctant to spend money. Of course, there were also several ten thousand taels of silver notes stuffed in the envelope.

"Your sister-in-law is extremely talented in making money." These words made Hua Fei, who was originally shedding tears, suddenly laugh.

At the end of the letter, Madam Nian returned to her serious tone and wrote that she wished Concubine Hua good health in the new year, and finally added, "May the emperor live long and be safe."

It was just an ordinary family letter, but Concubine Hua read her sister-in-law's cleverness. The words expressing gratitude to the Emperor must have been noticed by the Emperor long before Concubine Hua received the letter.

Hua Fei held the last piece of letter paper in her hand, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, burst into laughter, and said to Song Zhi: "Sister-in-law is really a bitch, always worrying that we have no money to spend in the palace."

Songzhi listened to her mistress reading the letter and cried and laughed at the same time.

Hua Fei gave the banknotes in the envelope to Song Zhi and put them away. Hua Fei would reward the six palaces every festival. This year, Nian Gengyao made great contributions in pacifying the war in the northwest, so Hua Fei had to reward him more generously. These sisters-in-law thought of her, and Hua Fei felt very warm.

In fact, Concubine Hua was not short of money in this life. She did not need to go to great lengths to prepare gifts for Yongzheng and the Empress Dowager and her son. Even if she doubled the amount she gave to her servants, it would only be a drop in the ocean.

In addition to the banknotes, Madam Nian also sent in several farms owned by the Nian family in the suburbs of Beijing, along with the indentures of the servants in the farms. Concubine Hua looked at the box of indentures and was a little hesitant.

Judging from the number of land deeds and personal deeds, Concubine Hua guessed that it seemed that all the properties of the Nian family in the capital were given to her.
