Zhen Huan said in great fear, "I really don't dare."

The emperor gently met Zhen Huan's pitiful eyes, and seemed relieved.

"Well, it's useless to tell you this.

.........

Concubine Hua was so proud when she learned that Zhen Huan's father was demoted. Zhen Huan actually dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor and didn't even know her own weight and dared to go against the Nian family.

She carefully touched the gorgeous armor on her hands.

"The craftsmanship of the Imperial Household Department is just average, so I can only wear it reluctantly."

Songzhi quickly flattered her, "Your Majesty, what good things haven't you seen? But Your Majesty is so beautiful, no matter how good the thing is, when you wear it, it only shows your beauty, not the beauty of the thing itself."

Concubine Hua was very happy. At this moment, the imperial physician came to check her pulse.

Ever since the two brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen died and were exiled, the hospital assigned a new imperial physician to diagnose Concubine Hua's pulse.

After taking her pulse, Concubine Hua asked with a burning gaze, "How is my health?"

This imperial physician was appointed by the emperor, so he naturally kept his mouth shut about Concubine Hua's true physical condition.

"Your Majesty is in very good health, and there is nothing wrong with her."

A feeling of irritation gradually welled up in Hua Fei's heart. It was always like this. Every imperial physician said that she was in very good health, but why couldn't she get pregnant?

"Kang Jian! Kang Jian, why can't I get pregnant?"

The imperial physician lowered his head and whispered, "Your Majesty is still young and deeply favored by the Emperor. Having an heir is only a matter of time. Your Majesty need not worry."

Hua Fei has heard such words too many times.

She waved her hand impatiently, but still did not forget to ask Songzhi for rewards.

"Take good care of my health. If I conceive a dragon heir, I will surely reward you handsomely."

The imperial physician accepted Hua Fei's reward with a guilty conscience and left without daring to stay any longer.

After the imperial physician left, Concubine Hua looked a little sad.

"Everyone can give birth, why can't I?"

Flower viewing feast

Because of the Nian family, Concubine Hua was deeply favored during this period, and she became arrogant again.

Facing all the concubines in the harem, she picked on them one by one in a bad mood.

"Hasn't Lady Wan recovered from her illness? Why is she still dressed so plainly? Today is a beautiful day for flower viewing. If someone didn't know better, they'd think she was deliberately trying to bring bad luck!"

"Jing Fei, why are you still like a gourd without a mouth? No wonder the Emperor doesn't go to your place."

"It's so lively today that it reminds me of my sister, the virtuous concubine. She loves a lot of fun and she doesn't go out anymore."

"But Concubine Xian does have a good son. The Second Prince is humble and steady, and it's a good thing he was born a little later than the Crown Prince. If he had been born earlier, one would have been the legitimate heir and the other the eldest, then the Empress... look at what I, your concubine, would have said."

"It's better for Sister Qi to be at ease. This Third Prince is stupid and clumsy. He is not good at schoolwork, riding or shooting. The Emperor is unwilling to teach him."

The expressions of the concubines, including Yixiu, were uglier than each other.

Hua Fei's words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into everyone's heart and lungs.

The flower-viewing banquet turned into a meeting to mock Concubine Hua. For a moment, everyone who was originally laughing and talking became silent.

Concubine Hua became even more proud. When she was under house arrest by the emperor, these bitches were laughing at her. Now that she was out, she would definitely teach them a lesson.

Yixiu forced a smile, "Thankfully, all the sisters in the harem know that Concubine Hua is always harsh with her words. Otherwise, if she were to encounter someone who was suspicious, she would probably get angry."

Concubine Hua did not say anything, but walked straight to the peony bush beside her.

She casually plucked a peony and said with a smile, "Although it's not the queen of flowers, it's a dazzling crimson. This is the true color of generosity! The empress loves that cluster of pink peonies, but... pink seems to be used by concubines. I heard from the emperor that the empress was once a concubine in the palace."

Zhen Huan stood up,

"The peony in the courtyard is wild and without character, the lotus in the pond is pure and sentimental.

Only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital is moved when it blooms. "

Yixiu smiled frankly, "No matter how red the peony is, it is still no match for the beauty and fragrance of the peony. Today we are just admiring the flowers, so there is no need to take it too seriously."

Concubine Hua originally thought she had won the game, but she didn't expect to be hit back by Zhen Huan.

At that time, she looked a little unhappy when she saw Zhen Huan's face, and her eyes seemed to want to stare a hole in Zhen Huan.

Because she had made big mistakes several times before, all because of the Nian family, the emperor always lifted her up high and put her down gently. This undoubtedly further stimulated Hua Fei and made her act recklessly.

She gave Songzhi a wink, indicating that Songzhi should find a way to deal with the bitch Zhen Huan.

After Songzhi got the hint, she retreated quietly while everyone was not paying attention, ran to Zhou Ninghai's ear, whispered a few words and came back.

After a while, when everyone was admiring the flowers, they suddenly heard a scream from Zhen Huan.

"what---"

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan fell straight into the peony bushes.

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Even if the peony is the most beautiful in the world, Concubine Wan doesn't have to go close to the flowers to appreciate them carefully!"

Liu Zhu angrily grabbed a palace maid and said, "I saw clearly just now that you pushed my Concubine Wan."

The maid knelt on the ground and cried, "I have no grudge against Concubine Wan, so why would I push her? Sister, how can you so easily accuse someone?"

Hua Fei sneered, and Song Zhi strode forward with him, "You are a servant of Concubine Wan, so naturally you speak in favor of your master. Besides you, who else saw her push your master? She accidentally fell into the flowers, and yet she wrongly accused the palace maid. How funny."

Jin Xi helped Zhen Huan out. There were bloody marks on Zhen Huan's face from the peony thorns, and she looked a little scary.

Concubine Qi exclaimed, "Reverend Wan, your face, what happened to your face?"

Yixiu knew that this was another idea of Concubine Hua. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Zhen Huan found out that she was pregnant at this time. She wondered if this life would be the same.

Yixiu asked Jianqiu to call Doctor Wen and stepped forward and said, "Come here, take this palace maid away first. Is Concubine Wan all right?"

As expected by Yixiu, Concubine Wan was found to be pregnant.

Hua Fei ground her back teeth viciously, and her tone seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Could it be that Imperial Doctor Wen is mistaken? Concubine Wan is truly pregnant. We must not let the Emperor and Empress be so overjoyed."

Doctor Wen cupped his hands and said, "I have served in the Imperial Hospital for decades. If I can't even find out whether a woman is pregnant or not, I would be unworthy of this official uniform and hat."
