After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 104: Spice Merchant

Looking at the emperor's hurried back, the queen stretched her neck, feeling sad.

Jianqiu couldn't bear it.

"My lady, why did you put up the sign of Lady Wan?"

Jianqiu was the maidservant of Empress Ulanala Yixiu. She watched the Empress grow from a concubine to the Empress of the Qing Dynasty step by step. She also knew why the Empress had a special affection for Zhen Huan.

Just based on the emperor's deep love for the late Queen Chun Yuan, the 50% resemblance between Zhen Huan and her was enough to make the emperor's heart moved.

"I have no choice. Hasn't Concubine Hua been getting close to Zhen Huan recently? I want to see if Concubine Hua can continue to be sisters with Zhen Huan if Zhen Huan also becomes favored."

Jianqiu understood the Queen's intention.

The Queen wanted to use Concubine Hua to deal with Zhen Huan, so that she could reap the benefits.

"Your concubine Zhen Huan, pays respect to His Majesty." Zhen Huan was reading a book by the fire in the house. When she heard Su Peisheng's voice coming from outside the yard, she thought she had misheard.

After the emperor came into winter, he basically never came to see her, and Zhen Huan spent almost every day in resentment.

At that time, Zhen Huan really cared about the emperor. Seeing that he had not come for a long time, she felt a little resentful, so when she paid her respects, her tone was extremely polite and distant.

"Hanhuan, get up quickly." The emperor walked forward and helped Zhen Huan up.

Zhen Huan raised her eyes and saw the emperor's handsome face, then immediately lowered her eyes.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was shy and a little angry.

"Hanhuan, you are angry with me."

"How dare I be angry with the emperor? The emperor is the Son of Heaven. I am just one of your concubines. I have no right to be angry with you."

"Okay, it's Shiro's fault."

The emperor was already 45 years old at that time, and he was particularly generous when facing the young girl Zhen Huan, and even the tone of his voice was like coaxing a child.

The young girl Zhen Huan was also very easy to coax. She let out a soft moan when the emperor pulled her into his arms.

"Silang, if you don't come, Huanhuan will miss Qiushui so much."

"So, I'm here, right?"

The emperor picked up Zhen Huan by the waist and went straight into the house.

Jinxi, along with Huanbi, Liuzhu, Xiaoyunzi and other palace maids and eunuchs, tactfully withdrew.

As soon as Zhen Huan lay down on the bed, the emperor couldn't wait to press her under him.

Zhen Huan gently supported the emperor's body with her hands, "Silang, why are you so anxious today? In the past, you would say a few sweet words to Huan Huan before you started."

The emperor leaned down and said, "Silang, I miss Huanhuan."

A night of upheaval.

Zhen Huan felt that the emperor's skills in bed had improved.

The next day, when the emperor got up, he saw Zhen Huan was still asleep, so he ordered Jin Xi and others not to wake her up, and went to court.

By the time Zhen Huan woke up naturally, it was time to pay her respects to the Queen.

She washed and dressed in a hurry, and when she arrived at Jingren Palace, she saw that all the concubines were already seated and looking at her.

Zhen Huan quickly stepped forward and apologized to the Queen who was sitting on the main seat.

"I am late, please forgive me, Queen."

The queen smiled amiably and said, "Young people are bound to be sleepy, but I won't blame you. Get up and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhen Huan sat down on the chair obediently, but she was still a little uneasy.

Shen Meizhuang sat in front of her and quietly held her hand.

"I heard that the emperor stayed at Suiyuxuan last night, so Concubine Wan got up so late?" Concubine Fucha asked suddenly.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyebrows and replied, "The emperor did stay in Sui Yuxuan last night."

Noble Lady Fucha snorted coldly, "So this is the reason why you haven't come to pay your respects to the Queen yet?"

Zhen Huan hurriedly stood up and knelt down to salute the Queen. "The Queen is the master of the six palaces. Even if Zhen Huan had a thousand guts, she would not dare to disrespect the Queen. Please understand!"

When Concubine Hua saw that Noble Lady Fucha was targeting Zhen Huan, she also stood up to help her out.

"Noble Lady Wan has been in the palace for so long. She has not come to pay respects to the Queen except for being sick. She has come regardless of wind or rain. Today, she just overslept and ate a little. Noble Lady Fucha, why are you so aggressive?"

After being scolded by Concubine Hua, Noble Lady Fucha was about to say something, but when she saw Concubine Hua's eyes as cold as a knife, she closed her mouth again.

Hua Fei is a noble concubine and has the emperor's favor, so she can't afford to offend her.

The Queen waved her hands and said impatiently, "We are all serving the Emperor, why bother about it? Lady Wan didn't do it on purpose, I know that."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhen Huan, smiled and nodded, and Zhen Huan also smiled back at the Queen.

The Queen looked at Noble Lady Fucha again and said, "You are also thinking about me, and I understand."

After hearing what the Queen said, Noble Lady Fucha raised her head again like a rooster that had lost blood.

"It's getting closer to the end of the year, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will begin to distribute money and items for the New Year. When the time comes, I will ask the servants to distribute them to each palace so that everyone can have a good New Year."

"Thank you, Queen."

"It's nothing important, let's all go."

"Yes."

All the concubines left, but An Lingrong stayed behind deliberately, just because the Queen had just given her a secret look.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang have been together for many years and have developed a tacit understanding. When they came out, they unconsciously walked together.

Seeing Concubine Hua walking in front, thinking that it was Concubine Hua who spoke for him, he stepped forward and greeted her.

"Please stay, Madam Hua."

When Concubine Hua heard Zhen Huan calling her, she immediately stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "Lady Wan, what's the matter?"

Zhen Huan looked around and saw that there were no other people around, so she knelt down and saluted.

"Thank you, Madam Hua, for helping me out."

"I just can't stand Noble Lady Fucha's aggressiveness. Noble Lady Wan is too polite."

"No matter what, you helped me out of this predicament. I should thank Madam Hua Fei."

Hua Fei smiled, "Mrs. Wan is too polite. I may need your help in the future. So it's better not to say thank you."

After saying that, Concubine Hua turned and left.

Zhen Huan pondered over Concubine Hua's words and felt somewhat puzzled.

In terms of family background, Hua Fei's brother Nian Gengyao was a general with military power, while Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao was just a Dali Temple official. Even if there was something wrong in the previous dynasty, it should be Zhen Huan who asked Hua Fei for help, and it would never be Hua Fei's turn to ask Zhen Huan for help.

As for the harem, Zhen Huan was just a noble lady, and was no match for Concubine Hua, who was a noble concubine.

So, Zhen Huan didn't understand what Concubine Hua meant by asking a favor of her.

"I heard that your father was a spice merchant before he became an official." The Queen asked about this matter as soon as An Lingrong sat down.
