In the original story, Concubine Hua couldn't stand seeing others being favored.

Even sleeping with her would make her jealous.

Among them, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Shen were the main targets of Hua Fei's attacks. Hua Fei would always call them away on the pretext of teaching them a lesson.

Then ask people to grind ink while standing.

Each time starts from one hour.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Dongchun hurriedly tried to please Concubine Hua to avoid suffering, but it was also very hard to say things against her will every day. She sighed and had no choice. In order to suffer less, she really tried her best.

Even though they didn't complain of being tired, Yinzhen felt tired just by listening to them. After learning about this, Yinzhen said nothing but called Concubine Hua.

In a gentle manner, he asked Hua Fei to help grind the ink.

At first, Concubine Hua was proud and happy, thinking that this was a sign of the emperor's closeness to her.

Otherwise, why did they ask her to grind the ink and not others?

However, she soon realized that things were completely different from what she imagined. It was not about getting close to each other, but suffering...

Yinzhen was writing calligraphy and reviewing memorials while Hua Fei was standing beside him grinding ink.

Hua Fei has always been pampered and almost has her own way in the harem. Even the Queen dares to go against her. She has never suffered such hardship.

For about half an hour, she secretly changed her feet from time to time, stealing glances at the emperor, wanting to say something, but was told to continue by Yinzhen, so she had to continue.

An hour later, Concubine Hua was already in great pain. She said pitifully, "Your Majesty, I am tired..."

"Go on, I'm teaching you." Yinzhen said lightly without even raising his eyelids.

Yinzhen and the original owner had always been very loving and doting towards Concubine Hua. When had they ever been so cold and unkind?

Hua Fei's eyes suddenly felt hot. Her feet were sore and her heart was hurt by the emperor's indifference. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Lowering her head, she quietly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She has always been a strong person, but when it comes to the emperor she loves deeply, she can be easily broken down and her mind can be swayed.

If the queen was deliberately tormenting her like this, she would not complain of being tired or feel wronged.

He would only carry out the Queen's orders with a tenacious and resilient attitude, refusing to show any vulnerability.

But this person is the emperor, the man she loves the most. How can she not feel aggrieved when he treats her like this?

After Yinzhen finished writing the important comments on the memorial in his hand, he finally looked up at Concubine Hua.

I saw that she had a slightly pursed mouth and her pretty face was full of grievance, but her hand holding the ink stick was still steady and she kept working.

"Are you tired?" Yinzhen put down his brush and asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua blinked her tear-filled eyes, and a line of tears flowed down her cheeks. She said aggrievedly, "I'm tired."

While she was speaking, she didn't dare to stop her hands, even though she could act so domineeringly just because of her brother's status.

But if she really faced the emperor's order, she would not dare to stop at will.

"Do you know that Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Shen are also so tired." Yinzhen looked at the tears on her face, stood up and wiped them away with his fingertips.

Hua Fei's heart trembled, and she finally understood why the emperor deliberately ordered her to do something for so long today.

When she came to her senses, her first reaction was anger. She thought to herself that they actually complained to the emperor. What a bitch they were.

But she naturally did not dare to question the emperor openly, so Concubine Hua could only follow the meaning of his words and said:

"Your Highness...Your Highness didn't mean it."

Yinzhen said calmly:

"Whether it was intentional or unintentional, I want to tell you that my concubines did not come to the palace to be my women to suffer.

"I know that Shilan likes me, that's why she acts so jealously. However, I am the emperor, so I must treat everyone equally.

"Being favored is just an ordinary thing. From now on, don't ask people to go to your Yikun Palace to ask for work. There are palace servants to do it.

"I need a peaceful and harmonious harem.

"Don't do anything that can make things difficult for the concubines in the future. I handed over the power of the palace to you because I value your excellent management skills. I hope you can manage the harem for me. Don't cause trouble, and don't let others cause trouble."

He spoke calmly, using both soft and hard tactics, including warnings and praise.

Hua Fei's tears fell. The emperor protected others, but he also cared about her, otherwise why would he say so much to her.

She felt sour in her heart, angry that the emperor protected others, but also happy that the emperor praised her excellence. The complicated emotions made her mind go blank for a moment.

"Yes, I understand." Concubine Hua leaned lightly on Yinzhen's chest, her delicate hands gently drawing circles on it.

Yinzhen grasped her fingers and looked down at her. The beauty shedding tears was quite charming. He kissed Hua Fei's cheek and sighed:

"You've suffered a lot today. Go and rest, Songzhi. Give Concubine Hua a good massage."

Songzhi whispered, "Yes, I understand."

Concubine Hua went to a side hall to rest. Songzhi stood beside her and carefully massaged Concubine Hua's fingers and palms to relax her muscles and bones.

Hua Fei's fingers were extremely sore, and it was the first time she experienced the pain of her own torture methods.

Hadn't she known how uncomfortable this was before?

The answer is undoubtedly yes.

It is because I know this that I do this on purpose.

But today the emperor deliberately asked her to do so, which probably meant to punish her.

Hua Fei took turns using both hands and was very tired. In addition to Song Zhi, a palace maid named Taozhi also helped Hua Fei massage.

Taozhi does not exist in the original plot, but perhaps the parallel world has completed some settings, filling the gap that Concubine Hua has only one personal maid.

But although Taozhi is also Hua Fei's personal maid, she is not favored by Hua Fei. On weekdays, she can only follow Hua Fei everywhere.

All other matters are mainly handled by Songzhi.

When Yinzhen gave orders, he also ordered Songzhi to be the chief.

In fact, the original owner had never ordered Songzhi around so far, it was just something Yinzhen did for fun.

When she was ordered to do so for the first time, Concubine Hua was shocked for a moment, and her glares pierced Songzhi.

She thought Songzhi had had some contact with Yinzhen without her knowing.

But Yinzhen didn't show any abnormality towards Songzhi later, so Concubine Hua knew she was overthinking it.

Enjoying the massage from the palace maid, Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn't worked for so long in a long time and was really exhausted.

Concubine Hua knew that she could no longer continue to torture the concubines she disliked for no reason.

She sighed in her heart.

Are you sad? Of course I am a little sad.

But the emperor also showed his love for her.

What can she do?

You can only wait until others make a mistake and then punish them.

The emperor just praised her excellent governance skills, and she must work hard to do even better.

-

Because of Yinzhen's advance preparations, Concubine Hua stopped being jealous.

Therefore, when An Lingrong went to pay her respects to the Queen on the first day of her service, she was not deliberately harassed by Concubine Hua.

-

The second month after Yunxiang returned to the court.

Xia Yi, the leader of the Flying Guillotines, whom Yinzhen sent to investigate the Fourteenth Prince, is back.

Yunxiang's life trajectory was simple, and Yinzhen naturally trusted him, so Yunxiang returned quickly.

But Old Fourteen is different.

Investigate longer.
