Chapter 248 Huanbi 17

Shen Meizhuang, who was also present, saw the situation and knew that something was wrong. She was extremely anxious for Zhen Huan and wondered why Huan'er came so late. She prayed that she would come quickly.

Zhen Huan didn't come late, it's just that they came too early.

When Zhen Huan and Huanbi, master and servant, stepped into Jingren Palace and saw the concubines neatly arranged, they were still shocked even though they had expected it and were prepared.

Obviously, this is a tough battle.

Sure enough, after the two of them finished their greetings, no one paid any attention to them and they could only remain in a half-squatting position.

Everyone was waiting for Concubine Hua to speak, but Concubine Hua started chatting with Concubine Qi beside her. She and Concubine Qi had always been at odds with each other, but today they were in perfect harmony and chatted non-stop.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't bear it and said, "Huan'er, get up."

"Hey," Concubine Hua turned her gun around and pointed it at Shen Meizhuang who liked to stand out. This bitch who took away her power in the palace really didn't learn her lesson. "Don't you think that you can ignore others just because you have power in the palace? You have a clever mouth without the Madam above giving the order."

Concubine Qi on the side also echoed, "That's right."

Shen Meizhuang took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. Ever since she gained power in the palace, Concubine Hua had been nagging her and harassing her all day long. She had no choice but to bow to Concubine Hua and said, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn. Please forgive me, Concubine Hua."

However, she has always been a person who only appears smart. She only cares about the beginning and not the end. She only apologized to Concubine Hua but forgot about Concubine Qi who had just spoken. This move made her another enemy.

Concubine Qi was secretly resentful in her heart. She was not as good as Concubine Hua, but she was much better than a noble lady. However, Noble Lady Shen ignored her. Did she look down on her?

However, Shen Meizhuang did not notice Concubine Qi's unfriendly look. She was regretting standing up for Zhen Huan.

It's not that she felt implicated by Zhen Huan, but she was afraid that she would implicate Huan'er. Huan'er had just been favored by the emperor, and Concubine Hua already bore a grudge against her. If it was because of her, Huan'er would definitely be targeted by Concubine Hua.

Not only did he fail to rescue Huan'er, but he got himself involved as well. The two of them knelt together in the middle of the hall.

It was the Queen's appearance that saved them both.

"Well, now that the Emperor has a new beauty, the sisters must get along well with each other, especially Concubine Hua, you must not be as petty as before."

Hua Fei looked down on Empress Yi Xiu, and was not convinced by her lecture. She retorted, "What does this have to do with me today? Concubine Shen is committing a crime and breaking the palace rules. Could it be that the Empress agrees with this?"

Everyone knew that it was Concubine Hua who had caused the trouble, but what she said was not unreasonable, so the Queen had no choice but to say, "Since that's the case, then let's punish Concubine Shen lightly and give her a severe warning by fining her two months' salary."

Hua Fei wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the Queen, "Okay, let's stop here. Wan Chang was just favored by the Emperor yesterday, so it's her turn to serve tea."

All the concubines who had served in the harem were present. Zhen Huan served tea to them one by one, but the etiquette was different. When it was Concubine Hua's turn, as everyone expected, something went wrong.

"Oh, this tea is so hot? Is Concubine Wan trying to harm me on purpose?"

Hua Fei's tone was affected and she deliberately exaggerated.

Zhen Huan had no choice but to pass the tea again.

"What's wrong with you, Lady Wan? I haven't even held the teacup firmly yet and you let go. Do you really not want to toast me?"

It was obvious that Concubine Hua let go on purpose, and the fallen teacup splashed tea, wetting Zhen Huan's clothes.

The Queen then spoke up, "I don't think Concubine Wan did it on purpose. Sister Hua Fei, please give her another chance."

Hua Fei was disgusted by Yi Xiu's call of "sister", but she also knew that she couldn't go too far, so when she was offered tea for the third time, although she took it, she asked Song Zhi to take it for her, saying, "She didn't dare to take it because she was afraid that Wan Changzai would cause trouble again."

In short, no matter who took the cup of tea, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Zhen Huan's turn to serve tea to the Queen. The Queen smiled gently, asked her with concern whether she was feeling well, and urged her to give birth to an heir for the Emperor.

Zhen Huan blushed with shame at what she said, but Concubine Hua felt uncomfortable listening to it. After completing the formalities, she squatted down casually, shook her handkerchief and turned away.

Concubine Qi was also unhappy and jealous when she heard this. The Queen actually attached so much importance to Concubine Wan. What about her Third Prince?

After the greetings were over, everyone left, but Concubine Qi stayed behind to find out Yixiu's feelings.

Yixiu was speechless at her stupidity, but she also knew that if Concubine Qi and the Third Prince were not stupid, the Emperor would not be at ease with them.

He had no choice but to coax her patiently, "The emperor is very interested in this Wan Changzai, why bother to spoil his fun? It's better to help her first and wait until the emperor is tired of playing with her."

Concubine Qi finally realized what was going on and showed joy on her face. She praised the queen, "Your Majesty is truly virtuous."

The queen smiled politely but did not reply.

Although people like to be praised, if they are praised by a fool, the joy will be halved. If they are praised frequently by a fool, the praise can be simply ignored.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Cao, Concubine Li and Yu Ying'er were all there. Concubine Hua asked them to come up with a way to deal with Zhen Huan, among which Yu Ying'er was the most active.

However, the center of discussion in Yikun Palace - Zhen Huan, was not in a good mood.

Everyone was jealous of her being able to stay in the Yangxin Palace, but who knew the humiliation she felt?

The emperor kept her just to secretly touch Huanbi's feet!

The Emperor did not notice that she was awake last night, so he acted very openly, so that Zhen Huan could see it clearly!

Now when she looked at her half-sister Huanbi, she found everything about her dislike unacceptable. She wanted to lose her temper several times, but she forced herself to hold it back.

One reason is that she knew that Huanbi was completely unaware of this, and in her heart she could barely be considered the injured party, even though she was very reluctant to admit it.

The second reason is that the emperor was only doing some sneaky things in private and had not made it clear, so why should she give the emperor the opportunity to protect the beauty?

What if it was because she treated Huanbi badly that Huanbi became alienated from her, and then under the emperor's protection she sided with the emperor? Wouldn't she lose everything - a huge loss!
