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

Chapter 91: Mother's Honor Depends on Her Daughter

Why would Concubine Li come here for no reason?

It had been so long since the incident that Concubine Hua almost forgot that Huixiang and Xiao Yuzi had already died.

Come to think of it, it has been nearly a month since I asked Lipin to ask for leave from the Queen on my behalf, and she did so every day. Has she really not heard about Huixiang and Xiaoyuzi?

After hearing Zhou Ninghai's report, Concubine Hua continued to grind the incense ashes and placed the armor next to the incense burner.

"Then please come in, Lipin."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I heard that you had a headache for many days and I had no chance to visit you. Are you feeling better now?" Concubine Li came in and paid her respects to Concubine Hua.

"Get up. I'm sorry you're still thinking about me." Concubine Hua didn't even raise her head, still concentrating on fiddling with the incense ash in her hand.

After flattening the incense ash, Concubine Hua took an incense seal with a "Fu" pattern on it from Songzhi and pressed it on the ash, then sprinkled some goose pear incense on it.

Lipin was not polite either. She stood up and went to see what Huafei was doing.

"Why is the incense that the Queen burned today a little different from the Huanyi incense she used to burn in the past?"

"It's goose pear tent incense. Nian Xi sent it to me from the palace. Nian Xi is so filial, so I can't help but appreciate it." Concubine Hua responded lazily.

"I heard that this goose pear tent incense is in great demand in the capital. I asked people to buy it from outside the palace several times but failed to find any. Your Majesty must be very capable and has so much."

When Lipin heard that what Hua Fei was holding was the Goose Pear Curtain Fragrance, she was very envious. Hua Fei always had a lot of good things, such as the Jade Wheel for beauty and skin care and the Goose Pear Curtain Fragrance that was sought after by all the young ladies in the capital.

I heard that the goose pear tent incense is limited to half a tael per person, and a little bit can make the room filled with the sweet aroma of pear. But on Hua Fei's small table, there was actually a box of goose pear tent incense. Hua Fei just put it on the table so casually, as if it were common sandalwood.

Concubine Hua had heard that Sun Miaoqing had used some tricks to make the goose pear tent incense a hot item, but she had never imagined that it had become so popular that even Concubine Li, who was used to seeing good things, was so interested in it.

The box of goose pear tent incense in Hua Fei's hand was given to her by An Lingrong before. It was not brought in from outside the palace by Nian Xi. It was just that Hua Fei felt there was no need to let others know that An Lingrong was good at making incense.

After Hua Fei lit the goose pear incense in the tent, covered the incense burner, and handed it to Song Zhi to place on the incense table, Hua Fei turned around and looked at Li Bin.

"Sister Lipin, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you doing well? Look at my memory. You've been here for a long time, but I didn't even let you sit down. Songzhi, quickly move a stool for Lipin."

"Your Majesty is having a headache and can't take care of these little things. It's okay for me to stand." Lipin glanced back and saw Songzhi brought a small round stool for her, so she sat down.

"Did Lipin come here today just to visit me?"

Concubine Hua picked up the armor on the small table one by one and put them on.

"Of course there are other things." Lipin winked at the people outside the palace, "Bring them in."

Two eunuchs were seen carrying a fat eunuch in. The fat eunuch was Kang Luhai, and his face looked pale and miserable.

"I have brought my servant here to apologize to Empress Hua." Lipin also stood up from the stool and knelt down.

"What do you mean, sister?" Concubine Hua took the teacup handed to her by Songzhi and took a sip without even glancing at the person on the ground.

"Kang Luhai, this traitorous servant, hid it from me and bribed Huixiang and Xiao Yuzi in the palace of the Empress, and told Princess Linglong that Concubine Xin was under house arrest. I was not aware of this at first. It was not until Yu was sent to the cold palace that this dog servant was frightened and told me the truth."

When Concubine Hua heard what Concubine Li said, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"I thought it was nothing. It's hard for my sister to notice it after such a long time. They are just two ungrateful servants. I don't take it to heart. I will just kill them with a knife."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Hua Fei's tone.

Concubine Hua let Concubine Li kneel on the ground without even saying anything to help her up.

"Anyway, these two have gone to the underworld and become ghosts. We know who harmed them. Even if they come to look for them, they won't be able to find me, right?"

Hua Fei recalled that in her previous life, Li Bin was frightened crazy after seeing Xiao Yunzi pretending to be a ghost, so she wanted to tease Li Bin on a whim.

Seeing Lipin's shoulders tremble when she heard the ghost story, Hua Fei understood that Lipin had indeed surrendered to the Queen and was using Kang Luhai to take the blame in front of her.

"Your Highness is right. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. They will go find the person who really hurt them."

Lipin was scared, so she surrendered to the Queen. The first thing the Queen asked her to do was to steal the girl from Yikun Palace. She did it bravely, but she didn't expect to be found by Hua Fei and executed immediately.

I think the Queen is the culprit. Even if Huixiang and Xiaoyuzi want to take revenge, they will go to the Queen, not me.

That bastard Kang Luhai has been hiding this matter until now. If the palace maid beside him hadn't heard the news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday, he would still be keeping it a secret.

Such a long time had passed, and Concubine Hua had not gotten angry with her. She thought that Huixiang and Xiao Yuzi had only exposed Kang Luhai, and she should not have been implicated, otherwise Concubine Hua would not have asked her to ask for leave from the Queen on her behalf every day.

After pondering for two days in the palace, Lipin decided to tie up Kang Luhai and bring him to Yikun Palace to test Huafei's attitude.

Judging from Hua Fei's tone, it seemed that she really didn't blame herself for this incident.

Concubine Li felt a little relieved.

"To be honest, it's my sister's fault for not governing strictly enough, which has caused trouble for the Empress." Concubine Li knelt more properly.

"It's all because of this dog slave who has been fickle and ungrateful to his master. What does it have to do with my sister? My sister was also implicated by this dog slave, wasn't she?" Seeing that the time was right, Concubine Hua got down from the couch and helped Concubine Li up herself.

Hua Fei looked at Kang Luhai lying on the ground, smiling and talking. She was obviously scolding him, but Lipin felt that her words were connected and meant something. If Hua Fei hadn't helped him up personally, Lipin would have thought that Hua Fei was secretly mocking her.

No, Concubine Hua doesn’t have that brain, she must have believed herself.

Hua Fei: Do you think everyone is like you?

"Your Majesty is right. You can deal with Kang Luhai as you wish." Concubine Li forced a smile.

"You should deal with your servants yourself, sister. However, since Yu has already laid her hands on me, I will definitely not let her go. I hope you can assist me." Songzhi felt creepy when she saw her master's fake smile towards Concubine Li.

"Your Majesty, please tell me what you want. I am willing to make up for my sin by doing good deeds." When Lipin heard that Concubine Hua was still willing to use her, she felt more at ease.

That's right. Lipin had been wondering before how it was possible for someone like Xin Changzai, who was so brainless, average-looking and greedy, to win the favor of Hua Fei. It would be more useful for her to be beautiful.

Xin Changzai: Do you know what it means that a mother is honored by her daughter?
