The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth
Chapter 83 Calculation
"Empress, you have a headache, and I really can't bear to see you work so hard. Concubine Hua has learned her lesson from the incident of searching Xianyue Pavilion privately. She is now cautious and obedient. I think it would be better to restore her power to assist in managing the six palaces from today, so that you can have more free time."
At the dinner table, the emperor told the arrangements he had already made. The fact that the Nian family had instructed Zhao Zhiyuan to impeach Zhen Yuandao repeatedly served as a reminder to him that he had to remain stable with the Nian family and not let them become alert at all. Therefore, it was particularly important to appease the harem.
The queen was stunned for a moment with a decent smile on her face, but she quickly recovered:
"Hua Fei has been in charge of the six palaces, and she is efficient in her work. With her by my side, I can save a lot of effort. However, Hua Fei is suffering from an epidemic. Wenpin and Hui Guiren still need to see a doctor and take medicine every day. The palace affairs are trivial and tiring. I am worried that Hua Fei is in poor health now and should not be overworked."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "The sequelae of the epidemic vary from person to person. Concubine Hua has a good foundation, and Jiang Shen has done his best. She has recovered well, but the queen's worry is not unreasonable. In this way, I will find you another helper."
The queen was curious: "Who is it?"
"Jingpin has served me for a long time and has always been cautious and prudent. I will confer her the title of Jingfei and let her learn from Huafei so that she can share your worries in the future."
The Queen finally understood that the Emperor was looking for someone to contain Concubine Hua, so she said tentatively:
"I will obey the emperor. This way, no one in the palace will say that the emperor has disappointed his meritorious officials."
The emperor acquiesced to the queen's attempt and gave her an approving look: "The queen is virtuous and is a blessing to me. So after breakfast, let them come over to pay their respects and settle this matter."
It seems that the emperor has already made plans to attack the Nian family, but no one dares to explore the depth of this game. The queen finally felt relieved and nodded immediately: "I will give the order right away. Is there anything else that the emperor needs to do in such a hurry?"
"The scholars in Henan are causing trouble and boycotting the exam. I will go on a tour of Henan tomorrow. You will still be in charge of the affairs of the harem. Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing can only assist from the side."
"I understand. I will manage the harem with my two sisters."
After the emperor and empress finished their discussion, they summoned all the concubines to Jingren Palace, and the emperor came forward to issue the decree.
Everyone congratulated Concubine Jing on her promotion, but Concubine Hua felt uncomfortable. How could a princess in her room be qualified to be on equal footing with her?
"Hua Fei, you have just recovered from a serious illness. I really can't bear to see you overworked, so let Jing Fei take care of the trivial matters, and report any difficult matters to the Queen. You must not force yourself and ruin your health." The Emperor glanced at her unpleasant complexion and spoke with concern.
The emperor's public concern made Concubine Hua smile and relax: "I thank your majesty for your concern. Your majesty has been tired outside. You must take care of your health. Only in this way can I feel at ease in the palace."
The emperor also smiled: "Don't worry, those who follow me are all old people, just take care of yourself."
Hua Fei smiled even more brightly and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The Queen kept wearing a decent and graceful smile, but there was a hint of teasing in her eyes when she looked at Concubine Hua.
Zhen Huan saw with her own eyes that the Emperor and Concubine Hua cared for each other and for a moment she couldn't tell what was true or false.
"April 19th is a good day. The ceremony of conferring the title of imperial concubine to Consort Jing will be completed on that day. The Empress will be in charge of this matter. I have something else to do and I'll leave first." The Emperor left Jingren Palace after saying his last words.
Everyone sat with the Queen for a while and prepared to leave, but the Queen kept Zhen Huan.
The Queen said to Zhen Huan as always: "Lady Wan, the affairs of the court are unpredictable. Some things seem to be disasters, but they are actually blessings. Don't think too much and be at ease. If someone in the harem embarrasses you because of this, don't bear it. Come and tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Zhen Huan thanked her and said, "Your Majesty has always been virtuous. I am grateful for your kindness. I have been very open-minded about my father's affairs. No matter what I do, it is to relieve the emperor's worries. I have received your grace in the palace, and no one will make things difficult for me."
The Queen took another close look at Zhen Huan's face, then stood up, walked to her side, and took her wrist, continuing to show concern: "I noticed that you don't look well, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Zhen Huan saw that both of her wrists were held in the Queen's hands. She was a little uncomfortable with such intimacy for a moment: "Your Majesty, maybe it's spring. I'm a little sleepy and didn't sleep well. Everything else is fine."
The Queen kept holding Zhen Huan's hand and said, "The Emperor will be leaving the palace tomorrow, and you are young and thin-skinned. You never like to complain. I am afraid that you will force yourself to hold on, and your minor illness will turn into a disease, so I ask more questions." After saying this, she finally let go of Zhen Huan's hand.
Such words made Zhen Huan ignore the Queen's sudden contact. She stood up and bowed: "I am sorry to make you worry, but I am really fine."
The Queen glared at her and said, "Please sit down. I have already said that there is no need to be so restrained when we are alone. I have something else to ask you."
Zhen Huan sat down again as she was told: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"I see that Concubine Hui has been depressed. Her mood is not conducive to her recovery. When you are free, you can ask Concubine Chun to accompany her more. Concubine Chun loves to talk and laugh, and maybe she can make Concubine Hui smile a little. When Concubine Hui is taking medicine, if she needs anything, you can come to me."
Seeing that the Queen still cared about Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan was naturally happy: "Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. Sister Mei is blessed to have your favor."
The queen said all the nice things she could: "Sisterhood is rare in the palace, and I don't want you to worry too much about Concubine Hui."
Zhen Huan expressed her gratitude again and talked with the Queen for a while before leaving Jingren Palace.
"Jianqiu, I have a headache. Come here and massage it for me." As soon as Zhen Huan left, the Queen frowned and repeatedly called Jianqiu to massage her head.
"Your Majesty, has your guess come true?" Jianqiu gently relieved the Queen's headache.
"Well, she is too young, and there is no one around to remind her, so she hasn't noticed it yet." The queen closed her eyes with a very complicated expression on her face.
"You are so sharp-eyed, Madam. Lady Wan comes to pay respects every day, but I didn't notice anything unusual."
The Queen gritted her teeth and snorted coldly: "Jianqiu, I was once a mother. Lady Wan looks very similar to me back then."
Jian Qiu reminded: "Then let's take advantage of this opportunity to let her fall without anyone noticing."
The Queen shook her head and said, "Don't forget, the Queen Mother asked me to copy scriptures for Fucha. She was a good person and wanted a grandson, but she didn't think about it. Fucha is a great family in the Qing Dynasty. There are many talented people in the family. If they really give birth to a prince, there will be no glory for the Ulanara family in the future. I don't have the good fortune like my aunt. She doesn't have to fight for anything and can sit firmly on the position of Queen Mother. If I don't fight, the women in this palace will tear me apart."
"My lady, what should we do about this?"
The queen opened her eyes, and there was a chill in her eyes: "Zhen is favored by the emperor, and has a face similar to that of her sister. If she really has a prince, I'm afraid I will have to give up my throne for her."
"It's just that I can't do anything about this matter, otherwise my good aunt will hold me accountable again."
"Doesn't the Queen Mother dislike Zhen?"
"No matter how much I dislike her, she has reached the age of vegetarianism and Buddhists, so naturally she wants to have grandchildren. Let this matter be exposed. When the time comes, I won't be anxious, but there will be many people who are anxious."
......
Zhen Huan was completely unaware of the Queen and Jianqiu's conspiracy and still went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects every day.
