Chapter 45 Daily Life of the Maids Around Concubine Fang 18

As soon as Yinzhen and Yixiu left the palace, Nian Shilan's thoughts became active.

That day, Concubine Cao and Concubine Li were called over to discuss how to give everyone a great warning when paying their respects in the morning.

However, although Nian Shilan was careful and thoughtful, others did not give her the face and she did not go the next day.

Summoning the concubines to pay their respects in the morning was a power reserved for the Queen. Nian Shilan was just a concubine, so how could she have the power to ask everyone to pay their respects to her?

If you want to rely on the power of the palace to suppress others, then I'm sorry, Zhen Huan also holds some power in the palace, so there is no reason for her to play house with Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan and others did not cooperate. The living room of Yikun Palace was quiet and there was no sound in the morning.

The concubines waited for a long time until the queen was no longer there, but they didn't want to make any trouble, so they just slept soundly in their own bedrooms, then got up and enjoyed a good breakfast, without paying any respects.

After waiting for a long time but no one came, Nian Shilan knew that she was being ignored. She was so angry that her face turned blue and she casually swept the things on the table down.

The porcelain shattered all over the floor.

Songzhi and all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down.

Even Songzhi was trembling with fear. She was afraid that Concubine Hua would notice her, and at the same time she was thinking bitterly in her heart that she had to go to the Imperial Household Department to get new tea sets.

How many times has this month been this? If she takes it again, it's fine. The Emperor won't blame Concubine Hua for being favored, but a maid like Songzhi who works hard is bound to be subjected to the sarcasm of the Imperial Household Department.

Concubine Cao faced Lipin's pleading gaze and Nian Shilan's death stare. Her lips trembled, and she was extremely nervous. After a while, she finally offered a suggestion:

If we can't pay our respects, then we can hold a meeting to discuss things. When everyone comes, won't they still have to pay their respects to Nian Shilan?

They said they were going to discuss something, but when people arrived, Nian Shilan didn't talk about business. She left everyone alone and went to confront Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan was sharp-tongued and never gave in to Concubine Hua. After a while, Concubine Hua was defeated. She was so angry that she accused Zhen Huan of being disrespectful to her and punished her by making her kneel outside in the scorching sun.

Zhen Huan stiffened her neck and wanted to go. Qu Lian had been quietly observing the development of the situation. Seeing Zhen Huan about to kneel, she thought, wasn't this the opportunity for a miscarriage?

Naturally, the more children there are in the palace, the better, and there is no need to endure unnecessary hardship, so she reminded Concubine Fang.

Concubine Fang stepped forward and said, "Lady Wan, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly. If the child is hurt, you will regret it."

She seemed to be persuading Concubine Wan, but in fact she was warning Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan was so arrogant and domineering that he even asked a pregnant concubine to kneel under the scorching sun. His behavior was so cruel that it was frightening.

An Lingrong couldn't help but recall the scene last year when Concubine Hua punished Concubine Xia by giving her a lash of red lashes.

The Concubine Hua of that day seemed to overlap with the Concubine Hua of today. An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan worriedly, but because of fear in her heart, she did not dare to persuade Zhen Huan or plead with Concubine Hua.

An anxious mood made An Lingrong look ugly.

Zhen Huan glanced at everyone. Among those who came today, there was no Sister Mei. Sister Mei was due to give birth in the next few days, and...

Qu Lian always said that even if you are in good health, you should not exercise too much, as it is not good for the fetus and may also hurt the mother.

If she really got hurt or bruised, not only would she regret it, but she might also scare Sister Mei.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhen Huan's noble heart hesitated. She no longer stiffened her neck to kneel, but sat down again, looking at Nian Shilan calmly:

"Even if I am guilty, I should wait for the Empress to come back and make the final decision, instead of being punished by Concubine Hua. Besides, I am pregnant and cannot be punished. If Concubine Hua is angry, she should not take it out on the child."

Zhen Huan kept talking about the child and humiliating her in front of everyone, which directly frustrated Nian Shilan's pride. She thought of her own miscarriage of six-month-old child and felt angry and resentful. Zhen Huan's caution seemed to turn into a mockery of Nian Shilan's behavior of casually drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine sent by Concubine Duan.

Nian Shilan shouted sternly:

"What a Zhen Huan! You don't take my orders seriously, do you? Go up and force Zhen Huan to kneel down!"

She looked at her maids and eunuchs with a fierce and frightening look in her eyes.

After Zhou Ninghai died, the chief eunuch beside Concubine Hua was replaced by another one named Zhou Ninghe, who was also from the Nian family and was loyal to Concubine Hua.

Zhou Ninghe led everyone up and forcibly dragged Zhen Huan to kneel outside in the scorching sun.

Yikun Palace is Concubine Hua's territory. When people come to discuss things, they can only bring two personal maids in, and the rest have to wait outside the Yikun Palace.

Huanbi and Liuzhu cried and shouted to protect Zhen Huan, but were violently suppressed by Zhou Ninghe and others. Concubine Fang, Concubine Jing, An Lingrong, and even Concubine Xin all spoke up for Zhen Huan.

However, Nian Shilan was determined to punish Zhen Huan and redeem her bruised self-esteem. She glanced at her coldly and said sternly:

"Any of you who asks for mercy, please go out and kneel with Lady Wan!"

Songzhi stepped forward and fanned Nian Shilan with a fan to help her cool down. The temperature was dry in autumn and the wind might have been cool, but the sun was shining brightly at this time. Nian Shilan was angry and sweat broke out on her body.

Songzhi fanned herself non-stop, and the cool breeze blew against her pores. Nian Shilan squinted her eyes comfortably. Seeing Zhen Huan kneeling outside, she felt even better. She picked up a piece of cut fruit and ate it, snorting coldly:

"I have the power to assist in managing the harem, and I am qualified to punish concubines who have made mistakes. Even if the Queen comes, what does it matter? I will punish them according to the palace rules, so what's wrong with that?

Watch carefully! If anyone dares to disrespect me again, you will end up like Consort Wan."

Qu Lian sighed in her heart. Nian Shilan was domineering and would use her power to bully others whenever she was not satisfied. Zhen Huan was also sharp-tongued and would not give in. Every word she said hit Hua Fei's sore spot.

Even if Concubine Fang and other concubines pleaded for mercy, it would not change Zhen Huan's fate of being punished.

However, the fate of being punished cannot be changed, but the outcome can be turned around.

Zhen Huan may not have a child, but it must not be lost by Concubine Hua, as it will be of greater use.

This time, without An Lingrong's sneak attack, Zhen Huan's child is much more stable.

Huanbi and Liuzhu were pulled apart and could only watch as the young lady was forced to kneel down, her knees knocking against each other with a loud bang.

Before long, Zhen Huan's face turned red from the sun and her back was sweating.

Qu Lian called Huanbi over and whispered to her, "Go kneel beside the young lady and ask her to pretend to faint. Don't kneel for too long and hurt the child..."

Huanbi knew that Zhen Huan had no right to act as she pleased, so she pursed her lips and rushed to Zhen Huan's side, asking to kneel down with her.

Some people knelt together, but Nian Shilan didn't try to stop them. She just waved her hand and agreed. If they wanted to suffer, then they could suffer. How could she stop them? Ha.

Zhou Ninghe and the others were also afraid of the sun, so after they had pinned down Zhen Huan and achieved their goal, they retreated to the shade and watched.

Huanbi took the opportunity to whisper:

"My lady, please pretend to be unconscious. If Concubine Hui knew that you have suffered for so long, she would probably be frightened..."

She knew her elder sister's arrogant nature, and she knew that she could control her life with just one sentence.

Zhen Huan's lips were dry, and she was stunned when she heard Huanbi's words. In fact, she didn't expect that she could pretend to be faint.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhen Huan whispered "OK" and then fainted.

There was a period of chaos and confusion. Huanbi and Liuzhu cried and asked for a royal physician to help the young lady. Fangpin and others took the opportunity to put pressure on Nian Shilan. Nian Shilan insisted that Zhen Huan was pretending to faint.

The situation was in chaos, and Zhen Huan had been unconscious for a long time. Nian Shilan was very worried, so she had to have Zhen Huan taken to the side hall and ask the imperial physician to come.

However, Concubine Cao was cautious and reminded Concubine Hua to invite Liu Bin over.

Liu Bin is Concubine Hua's man. If Zhen Huan pretended to faint, Liu Bin would definitely tell her, but the other imperial doctors might not.
