An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

Five days later, at the beginning of the You hour, news came from the Jingshifang that the emperor had flipped the sign indicating Fang Jia's agreement.

"Your Majesty, I heard someone say that Fang Jia agreed to go to Suiyuxuan to eat the milk and water chestnut flour cake specially made for her by Concubine Wan, and she ran into the Emperor. Fang Jia's innocent words made the Emperor laugh so much that she was allowed to sleep with him."

Baoque reported the news he had learned.

It doesn’t matter how Fang Jiachun tries to please the emperor; what matters is where she meets the emperor.

"Bao Que, you..."

Before it got dark, Shen Meizhuang of Cunju Hall learned that Concubine Wan had helped Fang Jia agree to sleep with him.

"My lady, I have asked the Concubine Shu to send a letter home. When the Emperor learns the truth, he will treat you as before."

Caiyue comforted her with red eyes.

Shen Meizhuang turned a deaf ear to this, and the images of Huanbi and Fang Jia's agreement kept switching in her mind.

After sitting there for half an hour, she gave the order in a hoarse voice.

"Caiyue, let me write a letter and give it to Huan'er tomorrow."

"Miss, you..."

Caixing disagreed a little.

In the past, when Concubine Wan was still seriously ill, the young lady visited her every day. Even if she was busy studying palace affairs or was troubled by Concubine Hua, she would instruct them to send things to her in time.

There was never a shortage of fine pens, ink, paper, inkstones, silks, satins, rouge and powder.

However, when their young lady was suffering, Concubine Wan rarely visited her. Even when she knew the young lady's feelings, she took the opportunity to win over Huanbi and Fang Jia to compete for her favor.

"Cai Xing, Cai Yue, this young lady is unfilial. After entering the palace, I have not brought honor to the family. Instead, I have made my family run around for me."

"Once Liu Bin is captured at home, someone will have to report him to the Emperor."

Caiyue nodded repeatedly before speaking doubtfully.

"Miss, why don't you ask the Concubine Shu for help?"

Shen Meizhuang, who had regained her energy, shook her head.

"The Concubine Shu has helped us so much, so we should not cause her any more trouble."

Although she has been lying in bed these days, she has not been idle.

There were not many concubines in the palace who could reach out to the Imperial Medical Bureau. After careful screening, she believed that Concubine Hua was the most suspicious.

Empress Shufei entered the palace with her. She has a shallow foundation and has to take care of the Sixth Prince. It is still unknown whether she is willing to confront Concubine Hua.

But Concubine Wan was different. Both of them had suffered torture from Concubine Hua.

Shen Meizhuang guessed correctly. When Hua Fei paid her respects to Zhen Huan the next day, she took the opportunity to criticize Chun Changzai and severely humiliated Zhen Huan.

He also said that Huanbi was very good at serving people, and took the person directly to Yiku Palace, where she massaged her shoulders for more than an hour.

Concubine Hua did not avoid others in her actions, so the emperor naturally heard about her domineering behavior.

"This Hua Fei is really..."

He threw Nian Gengyao's letter of greeting onto the table.

"Su Peisheng, tell Lady Wan to let her know that I'm going to have dinner with her."

"The slave obeys the order."

After going out, he wanted to point to a eunuch to report, but when he thought of Concubine Wan's face, he turned his head to Xiao Xia Zi.

"Go to Suiyuxuan..."

Before Xiao Xia Ziren returned to the Yangxin Palace, the news that the emperor was going to the Suiyuxuan for dinner had spread.

"Songzhi, what do you think the Emperor means by this? I just lectured Zhen Huan, and he announced with great fanfare that he was going to have dinner at Suiyuxuan."

"I'm not sincere in saying this..."

Concubine Hua couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she took the newly acquired black fox cloak to Shoukang Palace.

When she came out again, there was a phoenix hairpin on her head that looked like it was about to spread its wings and fly.

When the emperor learned of the empress dowager's reward, he hurried to Shoukang Palace.

"My Queen Mother, the Phoenix Hairpin is your most beloved item. I don't understand why you would give it to Concubine Hua."

"Your Majesty, Nian Gengyao has won a great victory in the northwest and will soon enter the capital. This is a gesture of respect to Concubine Hua."

The emperor was silent for a long time before he bowed and took his leave.

Zhu Xi watched the emperor walk away, thinking that the Nian family might be coming to an end.

The emperor stayed in Suiyuxuan for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, he went to Yonghe Palace to visit the Sixth Prince, and then he was busy with the affairs of the former court.

After Hua Fei's constant boasting for several days, everyone in the palace knew that General Nian Gengyao had returned victorious, and the emperor even held a celebration banquet for him.

General Nian won the battle, so naturally he wanted to benefit his family. The emperor stayed in the Yiku Palace for seven consecutive days.

"Master, there are rumors in the palace that General Nian, relying on the emperor's favor, is acting rather arrogantly and does not take Prince Guo seriously..."

An Lingrong sighed. Without the emperor's deliberate connivance, how could they, who were in the harem, know about the affairs of the previous dynasty?

"Bao Que, Concubine Hua sent us mutton from Qinghai, so we should reciprocate."

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, General Nian Gengyao returned to the court after the New Year, so why did he return so much earlier this time?

Hua Fei: Me, me, me! It's me! I complain every day, so naturally my brother has to come back to support me.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Hua also heard about her brother's improper behavior as he was a meritorious official of the court. Just as she was getting worried, she heard Baoque from Yonghe Palace asking for a meeting.

"Songzhi, why do you think Concubine Shu sent someone here at this time?"

"I'm very upset. I won't see you."

"Your Majesty, since returning to the palace, Concubine Shu has been concentrating on watching over the Sixth Prince in Yonghe Palace, except for two visits to the garden. I dare to guess that she must have come here on a real matter."

Songzhi hurriedly persuaded.

She had also heard the rumors among the palace people, and privately thought that the young lady should not lose face for Concubine Shu at this moment.

Shufei is one of the few people who has shown kindness to the young lady.

"Then come in."

After receiving the Queen's instructions, Baoque put down the return gift and left without stopping.

"When the moon is full, it is waning; when the water is full, it overflows."

Hua Fei repeated this sentence over and over again, and became more and more anxious.

"Songzhi, hurry up and get your writing ready."

A few hours later, a letter sent from Yiku Palace arrived in the hands of the unruly bearded man.

"Is everything in front of me a scene of scorching fire and flourishing flowers?"

"My silly sister, if your brother hadn't been more assertive, how could the emperor have remembered you?"

With a wave of his wolf hair, he sent a conciliatory reply letter out of the house.

"Songzhi, my brother didn't take my advice to heart. Instead, he advised me to be more assertive."

"What should I do?"

Concubine Hua was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat in the cold weather.

The old lady, the Queen, specially sent Jianqiu to deliver the reward during the day.

This made her feel that Concubine Shu's reminder was very reasonable.

"Miss, please don't panic. When you pay your respects tomorrow, please ask the Concubine Shu for advice."

Songzhi felt that Concubine Shu must have a way to help.

The next day, when paying respects, Concubine Hua, whose face turned pale, rarely refrained from arguing with anyone.

The queen, who guessed the emperor's thoughts, was unwilling to let her go.

"Sister Hua Fei, you seem so unhappy, is there something bothering you? Why don't you tell us so that we can help you think it over?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Sister. I am fine. I just ate a few bites of mutton yesterday and have a little indigestion."

Concubine Hua replied perfunctorily to the Queen and casually glanced at everyone in the room.

The more she looked, the gloomier her heart became. She sat there with a sullen face until the greetings were over.
