Zhen Huan and the other two stopped and looked at Xia Dongchun as if he were a madman. This guy was really annoying.

Xia Dongchun came over triumphantly and said sarcastically, "Oh, so many things! Can you sisters put them all in the palace?"

Shen Meizhuang seemed to be getting a little impatient with the pestering. She forced a smile and said, "The grace of the Heavenly Family must naturally be shared with all the sisters. Since Concubine Xia happens to be here, please let Concubine Xia pick some first!"

The curve of Xia Dongchun's mouth deepened. She looked them up and down and snorted, "My Xia family is rich and powerful, so we don't need these things of yours. Keep them for yourselves!"

She deliberately took a few steps closer and taunted Shen Meizhuang in her ear, "But Concubine Shen is really good at using these small favors to win people's hearts. She has the best of both worlds!"

Concubine Hua, along with Songzhi and the others, also arrived here. Seeing Xia Dongchun gathered there, mocking Shen Meizhuang and the others, she couldn't help but say with disgust, "To think there are such foolish people in the palace, and they were even given the title of concubine. They must be making fun of themselves here all the time!"

Songzhi quickly echoed Hua Fei's words, "People like this are just beautiful in appearance. The Xia family's status is not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of our Nian Mansion!"

An Lingrong happened to glance at Concubine Hua. She took a few steps forward and whispered, "I heard that Sister Xia's family has been loyal and brave for generations. Lingrong really admires them!"

This further emboldened Xia Dongchun's arrogance. She said proudly, "My family has been brave and loyal to the country for generations. How can a mere county magistrate like yours be compared to them?"

An Lingrong nodded. "No wonder my sister is so brave, it turns out that's the family motto!"

Xia Dongchun hadn't realized An Lingrong was mocking her yet. Instead, she nodded and said, "Of course!"

When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Xia Dongchun also reacted. She was so angry and embarrassed that she even reached out to hit An Lingrong.

"presumptuous!"

Songzhi supported Concubine Hua, and the two of them walked out with an indomitable momentum. Xia Dongchun was stunned at first, and then she knelt on the ground to explain: "An promised to speak rudely, and I just wanted to teach him a lesson!"

Concubine Hua lowered her eyes, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes: "I didn't know that Concubine Xia is the head of this palace. Are the Empress, Concubine Xian and I not here? It's Concubine Xia's turn to give orders!"

Hua Fei looked at Xia Dongchun, who was shivering on her knees, and said with a leisurely and meaningful smile, "This year's maple leaves seem not red enough for me. So I will reward Concubine Xia with a hundred feet of red!"

Xia Dongchun was stunned and said, "One Zhang Red, what is that?"

Zhou Ninghai immediately smiled and explained the meaning of Yi Zhang Hong to Xia Dongchun. She was shocked and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Empress Hua, please spare me, please spare me!"

But Concubine Hua had already made up her mind to deal with Xia Dongchun, who was ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Begging for mercy was of no use. Two young eunuchs came forward and dragged Xia Dongchun away.

Concubine Hua squinted her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan and the others with disdain. "Although today's incident was caused by Concubine Xia, you three also have unshirkable responsibilities. Reflect on your past behind closed doors!"

"Stop! Concubine Hua is so arrogant!"

Concubine Xian, who had been watching the show in the dark, knew that the time was ripe and came out.

Xia Dongchun is stupid. She has offended Concubine Hua. According to Concubine Hua's temperament, she will definitely punish her severely. All she needs to do is follow behind her and wait for Concubine Hua to severely punish Xia Dongchun, and then take the opportunity to suppress Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua's expression froze. This Concubine Xian was simply her nemesis. Why was there a Concubine Xian everywhere?

But now in front of the newcomers, Concubine Hua didn't want to lose face, so she casually said, "Concubine Xia is not following the rules, why can't I punish her?"

Consort Xian's tone was blunt. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't a punishment of one zhang of scarlet blood too much? Consort Hua, you are too presumptuous! I will confine you to your house. Do you accept this?"

Concubine Hua took a deep breath and cursed Concubine Xian in her heart.

She thought that she had no choice but to punish the person she wanted to punish. Even if she was confined to her house, what difference would it make? The emperor would come to see her anyway.

"The virtuous concubine has the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. How dare I disobey? Since the virtuous concubine wants me to be under house arrest, then I will go back!"

Concubine Hua bowed and took Songzhi away directly. She was confined to her house, but she also saved herself the trouble of paying respects every day!

Shen Meizhuang quickly bowed to Concubine Xian, "Thank you so much for rescuing me!"

Concubine Xian looked at the dignified and elegant Shen Meizhuang and was very satisfied. "No problem! You are newcomers to the palace, so you must remember to abide by the rules of this palace. If you have any problems or difficulties, send someone to my palace!"

The three of them kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Noble Concubine."

After Consort Xian left, An Lingrong looked at his back with a deep expression and said with emotion: "Consort Xian is really a good person."

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan looked at each other and felt relieved.

Originally, I thought it would be difficult to survive in the palace with a domineering person like Concubine Hua, but I didn't expect that there was someone as fair as Concubine Xian in the palace. They didn't have the intention to make things difficult for others, but they also didn't want others to make things difficult for themselves!

As for Xia Dongchun who was dragged away, although Zhen Huan lamented the cruelty of the harem, she also felt from the bottom of her heart that Xia Dongchun was too stupid. Who could do such a brainless thing?

Too Hospital

Wen Shichu looked around furtively, and after confirming that his father was not there, he tiptoed with the medicine box and wanted to go to the harem to visit his sister Huan'er.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the Imperial Medical Bureau, he was caught by Doctor Wen.

Doctor Wen grabbed Wen Shichu by the collar and scolded him coldly, "What did I tell you? It seems you didn't take my words to heart at all. Zhen promised to enter the palace. She is now the emperor's woman. You should cut off all ties with her!"

How could Doctor Wen not see that his son loved Zhen Huan, but she was the emperor's woman!

A woman who covets the emperor is guilty of a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of her family!

Wen Shichu lowered his head and said, "Father, I still want to go see Sister Huan!"

Doctor Wen didn't answer him. Instead, he turned to everyone in the Imperial Hospital and said, "Come here, take him to the pharmacy and have someone watch him prepare the medicine. Don't leave!"

Wen Shichu wanted to struggle, but was dragged away.

He didn't dare to make any loud noise because he could already see the lip movements his father was making.

Doctor Wen looked back at the deep palace walls and let out a long sigh.

There are constant disputes in the harem, and I am just a floating duckweed. If I want to survive well, I can only choose a tree to live in.

He had already taken refuge with the Queen Mother, so there was no way he would let his son get along with other concubines, not to mention that the brat had thoughts that he shouldn't have!

Maybe I can ask the Queen to arrange a marriage for my son, and once he gets married, maybe everything will be fine.
