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

Chapter 24: What are you kneeling for?

Looking at Concubine Cao kneeling on the ground, Concubine Hua curled up the corner of her lips in a sneer.

In her previous life, Concubine Cao also caused her great harm. She colluded with Zhen Huan and the Queen and informed the Emperor, which led to her death at the hands of Zhen Huan.

Concubine Hua would never dare to use such a person again.

But thinking that it was she who had driven Concubine Cao into a corner in her previous life and given Concubine Cao's daughter Princess Wen Yi a tranquilizer, which led to Concubine Cao's rebellion, Concubine Hua decided to keep her distance from Concubine Cao and stop harming Princess Wen Yi.

"Noble Lady Cao, why are you kneeling down for no reason?" Concubine Hua knew clearly what Noble Lady Cao was afraid of, but she still asked deliberately.

Concubine Cao held Princess Wen Yi in her arms, trembling with fear. When she heard Concubine Hua's question, she became even more nervous, fearing that Concubine Hua would say that she wanted to keep Princess Wen Yi by her side.

Because in the harem, after a concubine of a lower rank gave birth to a child, it was not allowed for her to keep the child by her side and raise it, but had to give it to a concubine of a higher rank to raise. If Concubine Hua wanted to raise Princess Wen Yi, Concubine Cao had to give it to her.

"Your Majesty, the princess is still young. Please let her stay with me for the time being. When she grows up, I will send her to Yikun Palace."

As Concubine Cao spoke, she began to kowtow.

Hua Fei felt a little relieved when she saw that she had a broken forehead and was bleeding.

"Lady Cao, you are overthinking this. I have never thought of raising a child for you."

Concubine Cao raised her head, with a look of disbelief on her face, "My Lady, don't you want to raise Wen Yi?"

Concubine Hua showed a look of disdain, "Of course you should raise your own child yourself, why do you want to give it to me? I don't have the extra energy for that."

Hearing what Concubine Hua said, Concubine Cao cried with joy and hurriedly hugged Wen Yi to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Madam Hua Fei, thank you, Madam Hua Fei!"

Hua Fei smiled, "Okay, it's not a big deal, get up quickly!"

Concubine Cao wiped her tears and stood up.

When Concubine Hua saw Concubine Cao sitting down, she said leisurely, "Before, I had a bad temper. I hope you don't take it to heart. Since I said I won't raise Princess Wen Yi, I will definitely not take her away from you. You can rest assured."

Concubine Cao looked at Concubine Hua suspiciously, still unable to believe what she said.

Since she entered the palace, she has been following Concubine Hua's lead. She knows Concubine Hua's personality and methods very well. Looking at the six palaces, no one can be as cruel and fierce as Concubine Hua.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, madam! If you need my help in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water!"

Concubine Cao knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the harem, she still had to cling to Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei knew what she was thinking, so she just went with the flow, "The Queen Mother must be missing Princess Wen Yi, let's go to Shoukang Palace to see her together."

Concubine Cao was startled: "That's it?"

Hua Fei stood up and rolled her eyes at her, "Or do you still want to go through fire and water?"

Concubine Cao smiled awkwardly.

The Queen Mother had the habit of taking a nap. When Concubine Hua and Concubine Cao arrived, she was still asleep.

Zhuxi was an old lady who had served the empress dowager all year round. She was really surprised to see Concubine Hua waiting respectfully outside the bedroom.

After the Queen Mother woke up, Zhu Xi told her about this matter.

"Is Concubine Hua outside?"

"Yes, Concubine Hua is outside saying that she wants to pay respects to the Queen Mother and serve her at the same time!"

The Queen Mother looked at the sky and murmured, "Is the sun going to rise from the west?"

In her previous life, since Concubine Hua was favored, she never took the Empress seriously. The Empress and the Empress Dowager were both from the Ulanara clan, and Concubine Hua also disliked the Empress Dowager and rarely came to pay respects to her.

The Queen Mother knew that Concubine Hua could not tolerate any sand in her eyes, so she didn't care.

Today she suddenly came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and waited outside for such a long time. The Empress Dowager thought that Concubine Hua must have something to ask of her.

"Didn't Concubine Hua say she would serve me? Then let her in."

Aunt Zhuxi let Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao into the bedroom.

Concubine Cao was a clever person. As soon as she saw the Queen Mother, she asked her to report Wen Yi. Although the Queen Mother did not like the Emperor's concubines who were very cunning, after all, Wen Yi was her granddaughter, so she happily hugged her.

After enjoying some family happiness, the Queen Mother asked Concubine Cao to hold Wen Yi, and then looked at Concubine Hua, "You come and serve me."

Concubine Hua bowed and agreed.

Concubine Cao thought of Concubine Hua's promise not to snatch Wen Yi away, and wanted to repay Concubine Hua, so she said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty's hand is injured, let me serve the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother showed displeasure on her face, and she thought that Concubine Hua came to serve her sincerely, but that was not the case.

"What is Concubine Cao doing? Are you going to snatch from me the chance to serve the Queen Mother?" The Queen Mother was about to get angry when she heard Concubine Hua say this.

Concubine Cao looked at Concubine Hua and found that there was a subtle anger on her face. Only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing.

"I am clumsy, how can I compare to the considerate Empress Hua? You have to do the important matter of serving the Empress Dowager." Concubine Cao smiled awkwardly and took a step back while holding Wen Yi.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she saw Concubine Cao was afraid of Concubine Hua. This Concubine Cao was really a dog of Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua stepped forward with a smile, "Queen Dowager, let me serve you."

The Queen Mother also had this intention. She wanted to dampen Hua Fei's arrogance, otherwise she would be too arrogant in the six palaces.

Concubine Hua smiled as she got the Queen Mother some water for rinsing her mouth and brought her a basin filled with rose petals.

After the Queen Mother washed her hands, Concubine Hua quickly handed the basin to Aunt Zhuxi, and then swiftly handed the clean handkerchief to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother wiped her hands, and Concubine Hua took it attentively, then turned around and handed it to Aunt Zhuxi.

Throughout the process of serving the Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua had a respectful expression and proper manners. Even the strict Aunt Zhuxi could not find any fault with her.

It was almost time to take the medicine, and the palace maid brought the medicine.

Just as Aunt Zhuxi was about to take it, Concubine Hua took the lead.

"Aunt Zhuxi, you have worked hard in the past. This time, let me do it."

Zhuxi didn't dare to make a decision on his own, but glanced at the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, agreeing to let Concubine Hua serve her medicine.

Concubine Hua took the medicine bowl, stirred the medicine gently with a small spoon until it was cool, and then fed it to the empress dowager one spoonful at a time.

It took nearly half an hour to carefully serve the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied. She told Concubine Hua to work harder to continue the Qing Dynasty's lineage, and then let Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao leave.

"Zhuxi, what do you think?" The Queen Mother asked Zhuxi after Concubine Hua left.

Zhu Xi said, "I have just been observing Concubine Hua secretly. I saw that she lowered her head and looked very respectful when serving you. She seemed sincere."

The Queen Mother nodded, agreeing with Zhu Xi's words.

But he seemed to have thought of something, and said, "No matter what, he is diligent. Could it be that something happened to Nian Gengyao?"
