TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 136 Yixiu 5

After the two left, Zhen Huan talked to Shen Meizhuang in private for a long time.

"Xia Changzai's words were polite, but Hua Fei is powerful and devotedly in love with the Emperor. She will definitely not be in a good mood towards us. I'm afraid we have to be more careful in the future."

"Sister Mei is right. Concubine Hua suffered a loss at the hands of the Queen, and she doesn't know who to vent her anger on."

"Xia Changzai is easier to get along with than we thought. Now that Lingrong and her conflict has been resolved, she doesn't have to worry about being bullied anymore."

"It seems that he is very favored at home. That's good."

The autumn heat has subsided, but Concubine Hua in the Yiku Palace is still fanning herself with her fan, leaving behind afterimages.

"A bunch of mediocre people, sitting here for a long time without being able to say a word, what do I want you to do?"

Lipin raised her eyes and glanced at Cao Guiren, seeing that she frowned and quickly buried her head deeper.

"Songzhi, tell me exactly what the emperor said."

Songzhi knelt down with a bitter face. She was just a personal maid, so how could she dare to stare at the emperor's face? "Your Majesty, the emperor didn't say anything after hearing what you said. He thought for a long time before letting Eunuch Su come with him."

"Your Majesty, from what I've seen, this must be related to the Queen's transformation. Although I don't know what happened, the Queen is obviously different from before."

“We should change our attitude.”

Hua Fei snorted coldly, "What does the Queen do to me? I only care about the Emperor's opinion. With my brother's support, that old woman can't do anything to me no matter how arrogant she is."

Cao Qinmo thought about Wen Yi's food, clothing, and other expenses, and her tone softened. "Your Majesty is right, but the Empress can influence the Emperor's decision to some extent."

"You can't just ignore it, my queen!"

Songzhi obediently massaged Hua Fei's legs and also advised that the Queen was still the Queen now, and her master would suffer if she always went against her will.

After being persuaded by everyone, Concubine Hua finally calmed down.

The emperor walked into the Yiku Palace with heavy steps, and his dislike for the queen increased even more.

Can't you be as gentle and generous as before?

Things have become so tense, and he still has to clean up the mess. It's totally unbecoming for the mother of a country to have no tolerance at all and to be petty like a little girl.

"Su Peisheng, have you found out who went to Jingren Palace? Has the Queen been instigated by others?"

Su Peisheng bent down and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Empress has not been unusual recently. I just heard from the palace servants..."

"The queen has been talking about the late eldest prince for a while now, and has copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures."

Thinking of the deceased child, the emperor subconsciously avoided the topic.

"Forget it, let's go see Concubine Hua and let the Queen be a little more unruly."

Concubine Hua was feeling aggrieved and was waiting for the emperor to comfort her, but he changed the subject after just a few nice words.

"The Queen is the mother of the country after all. I used to indulge your little temper, but now it's different. The court officials and the people of the world are watching. It will never be good for you to disrespect the Queen."

Hua Fei's hand that was picking up the food stopped in mid-air, and the corners of her mouth that were raised also dropped.

Her eyes turned red at once. During the day in Jingren Palace, she only felt angry, but now she was really sad.

When she was in the palace, she was the most favored and no one dared to say a word against her.

The emperor sighed and pulled her into his arms. After all, he had doted on her for many years, and it still made him uncomfortable to see her being wronged.

"It doesn't matter what happens in front of me in private, but in other occasions, the Queen represents my reputation."

"I know I've wronged you, and I will definitely compensate you, okay!"

The emperor already felt that the Nian family was powerful, so he wanted to select a few newcomers to compete with Concubine Hua.

It is a good thing that the queen suddenly becomes strong at this time, and it is also good to be able to suppress Hua Fei's arrogance.

He would be even happier if the queen could be more sensible and not always leave the war to the emperor to deal with.

Concubine Hua gradually lost herself in the sweet words of her lover.

Although she felt bitter inside, she had to admit that the position of queen was very useful at certain times, and therefore she coveted that position even more.

She wanted to accept the emperor's favor openly, not as a concubine.

Even if she assists in managing the six harems, it cannot change the fact that she is not the principal wife.

The newlyweds soon began to serve the emperor in bed. Without the spices under the crabapple tree and the matter of Fuzi, Zhen Huan did not get sick and happily waited for her good day.

The emperor missed this woman who looked so much like his deceased wife, and he couldn't wait to summon her on the first night.

"Come!"

The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand tightly and led her forward step by step without any resistance.

The pure white clothes and the similar face, the scene in the memory fell like a heavy hammer, knocking the emperor dizzy.

At this moment he was not an emperor, but a husband, a husband who was about to spend his wedding night with his wife.

Zhen Huan was too shy to look up. Facing such a gentle emperor, her ears were already red as if they were about to bleed.

The blush meandered down the side of the neck.

After the first night with the emperor, he was in a very good mood. "Su Peisheng, go and tell him that Jin Wanchangzai is a noble lady."

Zhen Huan was extremely surprised and wanted to express her gratitude immediately.

Seeing the other person's clear eyes, the emperor changed his mind again, "Wait, such a promotion is too ostentatious and will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others."

"Su Peisheng, send more rewards, and deliver them in person."

Normally, the emperor would never explain anything to a small maid, but everything was different when facing this face.

He leaned over and helped Zhen Huan up, his tone gentle, "The Concubine Hua is somewhat spoiled, and the Queen is very strict about rules. It will not be good for you to become the target of public criticism."

"When we have a child, I will reward you handsomely."

A strange feeling flashed through Zhen Huan's mind. She had not yet had a conflict with the Queen and Concubine Hua, but the Emperor's words seemed to be reminding her to be careful.

But she quickly put this feeling behind her.

The most outstanding among the remaining newcomers is Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong also gained some favor under Baojuan's advice.

The emperor was still somewhat interested in such a docile plaything.

Listening to her talk in my spare time can also help me relax.

Only Xia Dongchun was detained by the Queen. Yixiu did not hide it at all and told the Emperor frankly that Xia Dongchun was too naive and was learning the rules again.

Out of respect for her father and brother, the emperor did not take it too seriously and just thought the name was interesting.

In the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong brought gifts to find Xia Dongchun. When she saw her, she buried her head on the table, and her shoulders shook as if she was crying.

"Are you here to show off? And with all these rewards, get out. My Xia family doesn't lack these things."

An Lingrong has become much more cheerful and thick-skinned than before.

"Sister, you misunderstood. I'm grateful to you for taking such good care of me since Lingrong came to the palace, regardless of past grudges. I brought this good thing especially for you."

"Of course I know that you don't need these, but at least they are my token of appreciation. If I get something better in the future, I will give them to you."

Xia Dongchun is rich and generous. She dislikes what An Lingrong wears and uses, but she likes to go to her and gives An Lingrong a lot of good things with a wave of her hand.

She had completely forgotten what her family taught her when she entered the palace, about pleasing high-ranking concubines.

Being coaxed by others is much more comfortable than being rejected by others.

She slowly raised her head and looked at An Lingrong with a pursed mouth, "Really?"
