Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Broken Yuxuan

It is said that the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Ever since her plot to frame Zhen Huan was discovered, Huanbi's life has been extremely miserable.

Not only did she lose the favor of the emperor, but even the people around her began to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

"Oh, you still think you are the emperor's noble lady? You started out as a palace maid, so you know the rations of the lower-ranking officials very well. This is the only service a palace maid provides. It's up to you whether you like it or not."

The palace maid who came to deliver food to Huanbi threw the food on the table in annoyance and said sarcastically.

Huanbi glared at the maid and said sternly, "How dare you! Who do you think you are? Even if I'm no longer the Emperor's concubine, I've still served him. I'm just asking you a few questions. Why are you talking so much?"

The maid said angrily, "Yes, yes, you are the master. Whatever you say is what it is. Since you are so powerful, then go and sue me in front of the emperor!"

After saying that, the palace maid rolled her eyes and left.

This made Huanbi so angry that she went crazy. She suddenly swung her hand at the food on the table and dumped it all on the ground.

When Xia He came in, she saw the mess on the ground.

Huanbi sat on the couch with red eyes, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Xia He quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "My lady, please don't pay attention to those people's gossip. The Emperor was just angry for a moment, so he ignored her. He will definitely continue to favor you in the future."

Huanbi's brows relaxed for a moment, but she immediately heard the laughter from next door.

Liu Zhu spoke in a very loud voice, as if she was deliberately speaking for Huanbi to hear.

"This gift from the Emperor is truly wonderful. He has our young master in his heart. As a person, it's better not to fight for temporary favors. If you climb high, you'll fall hard!"

Huanbi clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

Xia He stood up and closed the door, whispering, "Don't be angry, young master. You don't have to pay attention to her."

After saying that, Xia He started to clean up the mess on the ground.

Huanbi also knew that it was useless to be angry now, and she felt a little hungry at this time.

Huanbi looked at Xia He and asked, "Are there any snacks or anything like that in this room?"

Xia He hesitated for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, "The little master is hungry, so we can only use our own money to buy some food from the imperial kitchen."

Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.

Xia He got up and opened the door, only to see Zhen Huan standing outside with a food box.

Xia He quickly bowed to Zhen Huan, "This servant pays respects to Concubine Wan. May Concubine Wan be blessed with good health."

Zhen Huan smiled and nodded, saying softly, "You go out and guard for a while. I have something to discuss with your mistress."

Xia He turned around and looked at Huanbi. Huanbi waved her hand, and then she left.

Huanbi wasn't particularly shocked by Zhen Huan's arrival. She mocked him, saying, "Why? Did Concubine Wan come here to laugh at me? Now that you've seen how miserable I'm, Concubine Wan should be satisfied, right?"

Zhen Huan shook her head, walked forward silently, put the food box on the table, and then sat down opposite Huanbi.

"Huanbi, you and I grew up together, do you really hate me so much? You even went so far as to join forces with Concubine Hua to kill me. You thought you had the support of Concubine Hua, but you didn't know that there are turbulent times in the harem. The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Concubine Hua has a family, so the emperor won't punish her severely. You are the only one who sacrificed yourself in vain."

Huanbi raised her head and tried hard to hold back the tears from her eyes.

She laughed foolishly and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what I hate most about you? I hate the way you act so high and mighty while teaching me a lesson. Of course I know that Concubine Hua is using me as a target, but I just want to take a gamble and see if I can pull you down from that pedestal. I just hate you.

Why have I always been your stepping stone since childhood? You are the well-educated daughter of the Zhen family, while I am just a humble servant serving you. After entering the palace, if you don't want to be favored, you can hide from the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, I am just your substitute. The emperor favors me, but he uses me to deliberately provoke you. You are so smart, you should have guessed it long ago. Have you laughed at me many times in your heart? Do you think I am a clown?

Zhen Huan shook her head tiredly, with a haggard look in her eyes.

"Huanbi, you're wrong. The Emperor doesn't like you, and he doesn't like me either. In his eyes, we're nothing more than toys. If he truly treated us as human beings, he wouldn't deliberately use you to provoke me. He's praising one and putting one down, just to make us fight among ourselves so he can sit back and watch."

Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan in surprise. She met her eyes and asked, "Don't you hate me? Why are you telling me this?"

Zhen Huan stood up, turned around and faced Huanbi with her back, but tears were already rolling down her eyes.

"I've truly wronged you over the years. From now on, the Zhen family and I no longer owe you anything. Our sisterly bond has ended, and from now on, we're strangers. According to palace rules, you're now a court lady, and the furnishings in your room are no longer appropriate. Finally, I'm kindly reminding you to exchange these things for silver, and perhaps your life in the palace will be easier."

After Zhen Huan left, Huanbi started crying, and then she started laughing while crying.

Shoukang Palace

Hua Fei was dressed simply and accompanied the empress dowager in chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, keeping a very humble attitude.

"I was deceived by Huanbi at the time, which is why I did such a wrong thing. Now when I think about it, I still feel sorry for Concubine Wan and the trust of the emperor."

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. The Queen Mother knows that Concubine Hua is talking nonsense.

But for the sake of the greater good, she could only go along and say, "You've always been a simple-minded child. I know that. Otherwise, why would I have asked the Emperor to release you early? You've been by my side every day these days, praying before the Buddha. Even if you've made some mistakes, the Buddha will forgive you."

Hua Fei didn't want these things. What if Bodhisattva and Buddha didn't forgive her? What she wanted was the emperor's forgiveness.

"That being said, I cannot find peace in my heart."

After being pestered by Concubine Hua for several days in a row, the Empress Dowager became annoyed.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and recited a few verses of scripture. Then, opening her eyes, she said, "You are dressed too plainly, child. Zhuxi, go and fetch me my hairpin. In my opinion, the Emperor still values you the most. The Huanyi Incense you use was personally selected by the Emperor. Who else in the harem has such an honor? You are young, so you should dress up and serve the Emperor. Why do you always stay here with an old woman like me?"
