Longkodo finally stepped back, ran out of the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother asked Longkodo to leave but she had to mention the Emperor, after all, Concubine Hua was here.

Now that Longkodo was gone, Hua Fei naturally could not mention him anymore. She just kept it in mind and knew how to treat the empress dowager.

"Queen Mother, it's time to take your medicine." Zhu Xi came over with a bowl of boiled medicine.

"Is the Queen Mother ill?"

Nian Shilan thought that the empress dowager had always been in good health, and she had never heard anyone in the palace say that the empress dowager was unwell, so why did she take the medicine out of the blue?

"It doesn't matter. It's the emperor who specially asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare tonic medicine for me. It's really a pity for the emperor to be so filial."

The emperor was indeed filial, and the queen mother could not help but praise him, "It's just that this medicine is too bitter, and I don't want to drink it."

The Queen Mother looked at the medicine in the bowl in Zhuxi's hand and shook her head in disgust.

Concubine Hua felt like laughing when she saw the Queen Mother, she was so old but still so childish.

"Give it to me." Hua Fei took the bowl from Zhu Xi.

"Queen, I will feed you."

"You kid."

The Queen Mother did not refuse, and was obviously happy in her heart. This Hua Fei was much better than her cousin's daughter of the Queen. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, the Queen had never come once.

While feeding the Queen Mother medicine, Concubine Hua smiled and said, "It is my duty to show my filial piety to the Queen Mother. The Emperor is very busy with government affairs, so I should spend more time with the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled but said nothing, accepting Hua Fei's approach.

"I heard before that you were so domineering. I thought the emperor couldn't control you, and I was afraid that the emperor would spoil you. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

There were many rumors in the past, all about what kind of lady Nian Shilan was. Although she was stunningly beautiful, not many people dared to marry her because of her personality.

Concubine Hua laughed when she heard what the Queen Mother said.

In fact, what the Queen Mother said was correct. I was indeed like that before. However, I have been reborn, so naturally there are many things I need to change.

Since the path chosen in this life is different from that in the previous life, there is bound to be suffering to experience.

"Now that the Queen Mother has seen me, I am relieved."

Hua Fei's playful appearance naturally won the Queen Mother's favor. She patted her head and smiled dotingly. They didn't seem like the Queen Mother and the concubine, but more like mother and daughter.

After feeding the empress dowager the medicine and chatting with her for a while, Hua Fei left, also thinking of going out quickly to see if she could meet Longkodo.

However, after meeting Concubine Hua in the Empress Dowager's palace, Longkodo was also afraid, and naturally did not dare to turn back.

Concubine Hua also knew the seriousness of the matter and she absolutely could not let the emperor know about it now.

"Songzhi, ask Zhou Ninghai to investigate secretly. There must be something fishy about this matter."

"Yes." After Concubine Hua said this, Songzhi also remembered something.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? Since that banquet, the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager has been somewhat different."

Thinking about it carefully, it was true. I was drunk that night, but Songzhi should have known about it. I only heard that the next day or so, the empress dowager asked the emperor to come to the palace, and the emperor looked very unhappy.

Could it be related to that palace banquet?

The only person accompanying the emperor that day was Su Peisheng, but Su Peisheng was a loyal person and naturally would not say anything.

Forget it, let’s go back to Yikun Palace first.

Concubine Hua originally wanted to return to Yikun Palace to discuss the matter slowly, but she never expected to meet Cui Jinxi on the way.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

When Cui Jinxi saw that it was Concubine Hua, she quickly squatted and saluted.

Only then did Concubine Hua notice her.

I actually forgot about Cui Jinxi. Now Zhen Huan hasn't entered the palace yet, and in my previous life I didn't pay attention to where she was working.

Hua Fei is now pretending to be confused even though she knows the truth: "It's not just this aunt..."

Concubine Hua deliberately did not say it and waited for Cui Jinxi to answer.

"I used to serve the Concubine Dowager, but because she didn't like crowds of people, I was assigned to work in the Flower Room."

Cui Jinxi answered Hua Fei's questions.

After all, Cui Jinxi is an elder in the palace and she should know the rules better than others.

She works in the flower room, but looking at her outfit, she doesn't look like an ordinary palace maid. The level of her clothes should be that of a head palace maid. I guess this must have been arranged by Su Peisheng.

After the emperor ascended the throne, Su Peisheng became the chief eunuch. Naturally, he had the right to arrange all the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace.

Cui Jinxi was no longer with the Concubine Dowager, and it seemed that she could not find a suitable master in the palace, so Su Peisheng arranged her to be the head maid in the flower room, which was an easy job.

Su Peisheng is really thoughtful.

"Aunt Cui originally served the imperial concubine, so I think she must be very capable."

"Your Highness, you are overpraising me."

Although Cui Jinxi had never seen Concubine Hua, she had heard of her a little. When Concubine Hua suddenly started praising herself, she didn't know how to respond.

"If I ask you to come to Yikun Palace to work, would you be willing?"

Concubine Hua thought that if she could get Cui Jinxi to her side, then having Cui Jinxi would be the same as having Su Peisheng, and wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort in the future?

I just don’t know if Cui Jinxi can agree.

If she doesn't agree, I can only ask the emperor for help. She is just a palace maid, I don't think the emperor will refuse.

Cui Jinxi thought about going to work in Yikun Palace. Since Concubine Hua was so favored, Yikun Palace might not be a bad place to go.

"If I can serve you, I will do my best for you."

After careful consideration, Cui Jinxi agreed, which was also a pleasant surprise for Concubine Hua.

If that’s the case, that’s great. I don’t have to go to great lengths to beg the emperor.

"Then wait for the emperor to come back. I will tell him and you can pack up and come to Yikun Palace."

This matter cannot be delayed. Fortunately, I met Cui Jinxi today, otherwise I would have forgotten about her. If I wait until the day of the selection in the future, I guess Su Peisheng will give her to that bitch Zhen Huan again.

"Yes. Thank you, Madam. I will take my leave."

There was nothing else to do, so Cui Jinxi bowed and left.

Concubine Hua and Songzhi then walked towards Yikun Palace.

Songzhi had been holding back on asking just now, but now that she had arrived at Yikun Palace, she could finally speak up.

"I wonder why the Queen values ​​Cui Jinxi so much?" Song Zhi asked cautiously while massaging Concubine Hua's leg.

"Songzhi, you don't know, this Cui Jinxi is useful."

A smile flashed across Hua Fei's lips.

"What's the use?"

"You will know in the future, but I am afraid I will wrong you."
