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

Chapter 107: As the debt I owe to Concubine Hua over the years

Aunt Zhuxi looked at the flying snow all over the sky and thought it wouldn't stop for a while, so she sighed.

"Empress Hua, the snow won't stop anytime soon. The Queen Mother has been sleepy since winter and I don't know when she will wake up. Why don't you come back another day?"

Hua Fei smiled and said, "I will wait here for the Queen Mother to wake up."

Seeing that Concubine Hua had made up her mind, Aunt Zhuxi stopped trying to persuade her. She just knelt down and bowed before turning around and leaving for the bedroom in Shoukang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother should have woken up at this time in the past." Songzhi and Concubine Hua had been to Shoukang Palace several times, so they naturally knew the Queen Mother's schedule.

"The weather is cold, and people can't help but feel sleepy. I'll just wait for you." Concubine Hua knew what Songzhi meant.

The Queen Mother doesn't want to see her.

However, Concubine Hua must meet the Queen Mother and must show her filial piety.

If for no other reason, it was just so that if Nian Gengyao got into trouble in the future, the Queen Mother would be able to say a few useful words.

"The Queen Mother, Concubine Hua said she wanted to wait for you." As soon as Zhu Xi returned to the room, he conveyed Concubine Hua's intention to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at the dark sky outside, listened to the whistling wind coming from time to time, and she sat up.

"Please wash my face for me."

Just as Aunt Zhuxi was about to step forward to serve, she heard the Queen Mother say, "It's snowing so hard, let Concubine Hua come in first."

As soon as Concubine Hua entered the room where the charcoal fire was burning, she sneezed loudly.

"Didn't Zhuxi tell you that the weather is cold, you don't have to wait outside." The Queen Mother couldn't help but blame Hua Fei when she saw that her face, nose and ears were all red from the cold.

Concubine Hua wiped her nose with a handkerchief, put it in her sleeve, and washed her hands carefully before stepping forward to speak to the Queen Mother.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed."

After the ceremony, Concubine Hua replied to the Empress Dowager's words.

"Since the birth of the Fourth Prince, I have been less likely to visit the Queen Mother because I have to urge him to study. Now that I finally come, I feel uneasy about leaving like this. So I waited. It's just snow after all. I'm young and can bear it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hua covered her handkerchief with her hand and sneezed loudly.

The Queen Mother was amused by her appearance.

"Okay, sit down first." The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Zhu Xi, "Tell someone to make a bowl of ginger soup for Concubine Hua."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhu Xi turned and walked out.

Several palace maids came in one after another, carrying the empress dowager's toiletries.

When Concubine Hua saw him, she stood up and knelt down to salute him: "Queen Mother, let me serve you."

Seeing that Concubine Hua was respectful and polite, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, come on."

Concubine Hua took the hot towel for washing her face, tea-leaf mouthwash, and spittoon from the palace maid.

Whether she was helping the empress dowager wash her face or rinse her mouth, Concubine Hua always looked respectful, without a trace of disgust.

The Queen Mother felt relieved when she saw this.

"You all go down." The Queen Mother sent away the serving palace maids, leaving only Hua Fei and Song Zhi.

Concubine Hua asked Songzhi to give the newly made mink coat to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took it in her hand, weighed it carefully, and praised: "It is a good thing. It will definitely keep you warm in winter."

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "I know that the Queen Mother is afraid of cold weather in winter, so as soon as the fox fur arrived, I rushed to Shoukang Palace."

"I will remember your filial piety." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hua with satisfaction.

In fact, if you count it all, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hua have known each other for quite a long time.

As early as when the current emperor was still Prince Yong, Concubine Hua married into the prince's palace.

As the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager had known Concubine Hua for more than ten years.

Over the years, the Empress Dowager watched the Nian family gradually become more prosperous and Concubine Hua became more and more arrogant and domineering. She knew that this was the Emperor's method of "praising to death".

The more Nian Gengyao boasted of his achievements, the more cruel and ruthless the emperor would be when he took action behind his back. The empress dowager would definitely not have any mercy on Nian Gengyao, no matter how miserable his final fate was. After all, killing meritorious officials was something that emperors loved to do since ancient times.

Moreover, Nian Gengyao opposed Longkodo in every way, and the empress dowager was indeed hoping that Nian Gengyao would be dealt with by the emperor as soon as possible.

But Hua Fei was different. As a member of the Nian family, Hua Fei was kept in the dark and used by the emperor and the queen mother from beginning to end.

The more filial Concubine Hua was to the Queen Mother, the more uneasy she felt.

That's why the Queen Mother didn't want to see Concubine Hua so often.

I thought that with such a heavy snowstorm outside, given Concubine Hua's spoiled personality, she would definitely go back early.

The Queen Mother never imagined that Concubine Hua had waited for so long in the wind and snow just to give her this warm mink coat.

The Queen Mother's heart softened after all.

"I have never forgotten the teachings of the Empress Dowager over the years. You said that a wife is the backbone of the family. Although I am not the Emperor's legal wife, but only a concubine, I also want to share the Emperor's worries and show my filial piety to the Empress Dowager."

When Concubine Hua saw that the Empress Dowager's eyes had softened, she said some emotional words again.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes turned red.

Human nature is strange like that.

If a person has always been a good person and has always done good things, and then one day he does something bad, people will definitely criticize him and sigh, "So, he was that kind of person!"

If a person has always been a bad person and has always done bad things, and one day he does something good, people will sigh, "It turns out that he is not that bad!" Then as the bad person does more and more good things, people will feel that this person is really a good person.

And Concubine Hua was the former "bad guy".

After seeing Hua Fei's performance during this period, both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had a great change in their impression of her.

"The Emperor's love for you is not in vain!" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hua with satisfaction.

Thinking of the war in the northwest that he had heard about a few days ago, he continued, "If your brother can capture Lobsang Danjin alive, it will be a great achievement. You are Nian Gengyao's sister, and you have served the emperor for many years. I have seen it all. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?"

The rewards of the previous dynasty were decided by the emperor.

The rewards for the harem are usually decided by the queen.

However, if the Queen Mother speaks, then the Queen must listen to her.

Hua Fei didn't expect that the Queen Mother would take the initiative to mention her brother Nian Gengyao's victory over Lobsang Danjin.

It seems that the Queen Mother already knew the purpose of her visit, which was related to her brother Nian Gengyao.

In this case, Concubine Hua felt that there was nothing to hide.

She stood up and curtseyed.

"Queen, I have a favor to ask of you."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again and said, "Tell me, as long as I can do it for you."

Concubine Hua clearly felt the anger hidden in the Queen Mother's tone.

The Queen Mother sat back in her chair, the kindness on her face gradually fading.

No matter what Concubine Hua asked her for, the Queen Mother would try her best to agree.
