The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System
Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The Emperor's Audience
Today is the day when the whole palace will have an audience with the emperor. It is also the day when Xia Dongchun will be punished with "one zhang of scars". It is also the day when her promise will be fulfilled.
Baojuan carefully put on the silk flower headband given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for me. I was ready to go and meet the queen who caused me to lose my fertility.
This old vicious woman!
I recall that in my past life, whenever I was favored by her, she would secretly order someone to give me contraceptive pills, which prevented me from having children for the rest of my life. In this life, I will make her pay for her sins!
In this life, I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!
I felt resentful.
I left the gate of the Yanx Palace as early as possible, deliberately avoiding the most direct path leading to the Jingren Palace, and instead stepped into the quiet corridor adjacent to the Changchun Palace where Concubine Xin lived.
Soon, as I expected, Concubine Xin came out slowly. She was also heading towards Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Empress in the morning and evening.
"Xin Chang is in Wan'an."
"Who is this...?"
"I am An Yingying from the Yanxi Palace."
Xin Changzai has always been a careless person. She didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she walked side by side with me naturally and went to Jingren Palace together.
Xin Changzai has always been a straightforward and outgoing person, and she chattered all the way.
I found the right moment, and when the topic reached a delicate point, I pretended to casually tell her what Xia Dongchun had said in the Yanx Palace: "The things awarded by Concubine Hua are not as good as those given by the Empress."
When they arrived at Jingren Palace, they still had to wait for the late-coming Concubine Hua, and it seemed like a grand ceremony.
"Isn't it too late for me?"
"Greetings to Concubine Hua."
Judging from Concubine Hua's demeanor, she must have been late on purpose to intimidate us and to make things difficult for the Queen.
Instead of asking us to stand up, Concubine Hua turned around and started a verbal battle with the Queen.
She said that because the Emperor had been reviewing memorials until late last night, she had stayed by his side until quite late. This morning, the Emperor had granted her permission not to get up early, so her arrival to pay her respects was somewhat delayed.
Although she asked the Queen whether she would be unhappy with her lateness, it was clear that she was disrespectful to the Queen and was provoking her.
By bringing up the emperor, the queen can't blame him too much.
The queen was not to be outdone, saying that the emperor had been busy dealing with state affairs in recent days and was inevitably negligent towards some concubines, so she was especially considerate and caring towards that sister.
It was also mentioned that there were many more sisters "keeping her company", which made Concubine Hua feel very uncomfortable.
Concubine Hua never hesitates to flaunt her favor, both openly and covertly, while the Empress repeatedly emphasizes the Emperor's neglect and indifference towards her in her words and actions.
This wonderful scene was interspersed with Xia Dongchun's whispers to Noble Lady Fucha:
"Who is Concubine Hua doing this grand show for?"
This inappropriate whispering caused Noble Lady Fucha to stay away and also attracted Concubine Hua to look at her sideways.
However, at this moment, Hua Fei's mind was not on Xia Dongchun, the little maid, but was entirely on the Queen.
But at this time Xin Changzai interrupted:
"Sister Xia, you're wrong. How can we, the humblest of us, easily guess at Concubine Hua's spirit? Sister Xia, you've always been critical of Concubine Hua in the Yanxi Palace, and you're speaking out here again today. I'm afraid that's inappropriate, isn't it?"
Seeing this, Concubine Hua curled her lips into a cold smile:
"What Concubine Xin said is absolutely right. As the Hua Concubine, I have the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. I should maintain order in the palace and will not allow anyone to slander me wantonly. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If it is true, I will punish them severely and will not tolerate any leniency."
The Queen gently stroked the armor on her hand, her eyes filled with a deep and majestic look:
"Sister Hua Fei, as one of the best in the harem, you are my honor to assist me in managing the six palaces. However, the affairs of this palace are complicated and must be handled with caution to avoid damaging the harmony between sisters."
The Queen paused for a moment, a glint of wisdom flashing in her eyes:
"I understand your resolve to maintain order within the palace, but as the Empress Dowager, I am the only one who can exercise the highest authority within the harem. Sister, please exercise due discretion when exercising your authority to assist the six palaces, and do not let a momentary anger lead you astray. After all, every sister in this palace is dear to my heart. I shall be impartial and selfless, and will not allow anyone to abuse their power and harm the bonds of sisterhood."
Hua Fei's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal:
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I understand. As for the matter of Concubine Xia, I will also investigate it immediately. This is also to maintain order in the palace and ensure the peace of the harem. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
Concubine Hua still didn't let us get up. Instead, she changed the topic and said that the jadeite from the Imperial Household Department was not good.
The Queen told her that the Imperial Household Department had specially prepared fresh and tender food for her.
Facing this war without the smoke of gunpowder, the Queen told Hua Fei with a tolerant look in secret: You are too young to fight with me.
"Yeah, I always feel that this jade is a bit old-fashioned."
When Concubine Hua wanted to give the jadeite to the Empress, she was also mocking her: You are old.
The queen issued a warning again, and she got a pair of Dongzhu.
Dongzhu is so precious that only the wife can wear it to show her high status.
We knelt and waited for a long time, until the Queen and Concubine Hua had exchanged several rounds of verbal battles, and then we were able to stand up and leave.
What a grand ceremony Empress Hua has.
Afterwards, Concubine Hua even consulted Xia Dongchun, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, these outstanding people, individually, as if they were completely unaware of my existence.
However, this is not important.
......
"You two sisters are so eloquent! After flattering the Queen, you start fawning over Concubine Hua. You're playing both sides like a stage. It's really admirable!
Three people became four. I was originally the one with the lowest rank, but now it becomes me and Zhen Huan.
At this moment, the drama of "Yi Zhang Hong" officially begins.
