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

Chapter 114: Visiting Concubine Hua

Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Hua's face, which was still so beautiful and charming even though she was sick. As a woman, Zhen Huan actually felt a little envious.

"Your Majesty has General Nian as your backer, and the Emperor's favor, so peace and safety are within your reach."

Concubine Hua listened to Zhen Huan's words and smiled faintly.

"Sometimes a backer can be a support, but it can also be a mountain that crushes you to death. Lady Wan, if it were you, what would you do?"

Zhen Huan was shocked.

She didn't expect that Concubine Hua would tell her such private thoughts.

In fact, it is now rumored in the harem that Nian Gengyao will definitely be rewarded handsomely by the emperor after returning victoriously this time.

But Zhen Huan also knew that living with the emperor was like living with a tiger.

Nian Gengyao returned with a great victory, but the real test had just begun.

Before this, when the emperor came to Suiyuxuan, he also revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, some of Nian Gengyao's "evil deeds" in the northwest.

For example, they used the name of war to demand military pay from the imperial court, and even enclosed land in the northwest to make money.

There was no blame in the emperor's tone, but Zhen Huan could sense the hostility emanating from his eyes when he said these things.

After returning to Beijing, if Nian Gengyao had been content and retired while the world was at its peak, he might have been able to retire with honor.

However, if Nian Gengyao does not restrain himself, the emperor will definitely not be merciful.

Zhen Huan originally thought that Concubine Hua would not know the key point.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hua not only knew, but also asked herself what to do.

Is this a test or trust?

Zhen Huan thought quickly in her mind.

"Mr. Wan?"

Concubine Hua called Zhen Huan again, and Zhen Huan had to raise her head and look at her.

Zhen Huan frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Since other people's backers are unreliable, then I will become my own backer."

"Be your own support." Hua Fei savored this sentence carefully, and after a while, she smiled again.

"No wonder the emperor likes Lady Wan so much. Lady Wan is indeed smart and thoughtful."

Zhen Huan knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

Hua Fei stroked her hair with her green jade fingers and said leisurely, "The frustration I've felt over the past few days has been completely cleared up by Concubine Wan's words."

Zhen Huan also laughed.

"I think the queen must have had an idea in mind, and Zhen Huan just happened to hit the mark."

The two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. At this moment, silence was better than words.

After chatting for a while, Zhen Huan felt that it was enough and was about to leave.

Concubine Hua called her.

"After the Lantern Festival, the Queen will hold a flower viewing party. Wan Guiren should be invited."

"Yes, ma'am."

"The Queen has a cat named Songzi. Concubine Wan stays away from it, and so does Concubine Fucha."

Zhen Huan knelt down again and saluted, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty."

After Zhen Huan walked away, Concubine Hua sighed.

"I have reminded you clearly, Lady Wan, I hope you can remember my words and escape this disaster."

For more than ten days, Concubine Hua claimed to be ill.

During this period, Shen Meizhuang also went to see Concubine Hua.

Cao Qinmo and Concubine Hua lived in the same Yikun Palace, so naturally she went there too.

In the past, Concubine Hua always asked Cao Qinmo to come up with various ideas to deal with people in the harem.

Now, apart from occasionally giving Cao Qinmo some good things, Concubine Hua never asked Cao Qinmo to do anything bad.

This made Cao Qinmo uneasy, worrying that Concubine Hua was going to abandon her.

After all, she had become accustomed to living by relying on Concubine Hua in the harem.

Without Concubine Hua, she was really afraid that others would bully her.

"My queen, have I done anything wrong recently? Have I made you unhappy?"

Cao Qinmo smiled awkwardly at Concubine Hua and looked at her guiltily.

Concubine Hua knew what Cao Qinmo was thinking, and smiled and said, "Concubine Cao is smart, what could she do wrong?"

Cao Qinmo quickly replied, "Then why don't you ask me to serve you recently, Madam?"

"Lady Cao, you must be joking. I have servants like Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai to serve me. You are still a master, no matter how big or small you are. Don't forget your status."

Hua Fei's words were meant to distance herself from Cao Qinmo, and also to tell Cao Qinmo that she would not ask her to do anything in the future.

Cao Qinmo was a little panicked.

Stand up and bow.

"My queen, I have always followed your lead and never betrayed you! You can't abandon me like this!"

Concubine Hua had a headache.

In her previous life, she kept threatening Cao Qinmo to do bad things for her. In this life, she no longer threatens Cao Qinmo. Why is Cao Qinmo still panicking?

"What are you talking about, Lady Cao? You live with me in the Yikun Palace, and I am the mistress. It is my duty to take care of and teach you. How can I abandon you?"

Cao Qinmo was a little confused by what Concubine Hua said.

"Okay, don't think too much. What you should do is to accompany Princess Wen Yi to grow up."

Seeing that Concubine Hua was getting impatient, Cao Qinmo didn't dare to stay any longer. She knelt down, bowed, and left.

After returning to his own bedroom, Cao Qinmo became more and more uneasy.

Thinking about how close Concubine Hua has been to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang recently, but how she has been getting further and further away from herself, she concluded that Concubine Hua must have become alienated from her.

Based on Cao Qinmo's understanding of Concubine Hua, she believed that she was a ruthless and unscrupulous person, and there was absolutely no way she could get along with the favored Zhen Huan.

"Hua Fei must be trying to get close to Wan Guiren and Hui Guiren on purpose, and then kill them when they let their guard down! It must be like this! When the time comes, Hua Fei will still need my advice!"

Cao Qinmo was delighted by her own inference.

But she didn't know that her cleverness might backfire.

In this life, Concubine Hua not only had no intention of using her to do bad things, but also sincerely hoped that she would raise Princess Wen Yi.

But Cao Qinmo misinterpreted Hua Fei's meaning.

This led to her subsequent tragedy.

A few days later, the emperor sent invitations to all the royal relatives, asking them to celebrate the New Year in the palace.

The emperor, who always advocated diligence and thrift, also gave some additional rewards to the palace after Nian Gengyao captured Lobsang Danjin alive.

After a few days of recuperation, Concubine Hua's health was generally better.

She also visited the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince talked about the interesting things in the Old Summer Palace, "There are many horses there. My son wanted to ride, but the nanny always wouldn't let him, saying that my son was too young and would fall down."

Concubine Hua looked at the Fourth Prince and asked him to stand up and turn around. The Fourth Prince didn't understand why, but he still stood up and turned around in a small circle.

"Fourth Prince is so strong that he can ride a horse. Mother will go and tell your father right away."

The Fourth Prince’s eyes lit up.

"Is what my mother said true?"

Concubine Hua pinched his cheek.

"Your mother can't take back her words once they've been spoken!"

The Fourth Prince was delighted and chuckled, touching his forehead.

"You want Hongli to learn how to ride a horse?" the emperor asked in disbelief. "I don't have time to teach him."

"I have time." Concubine Hua looked at the emperor with a gleam in her eyes.
