Now when Zhen Huan looked at Fu Zi, she felt a little upset.

Then he changed his expression and said, "Get up. The Queen said your name is Fuzi, right?"

Although Fuzi seems to be well-behaved on the surface, I can't like her from the bottom of my heart when I think that it was arranged by the Queen.

"Yes, my name is Fuzi, and I'm here to see Concubine Wan." After saying that, Fuzi bowed to Zhen Huan again.

But she was just a little girl. Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, Xiao Yunzi, Liuzhu and Huanbi were standing in a circle around her in the room.

"Since it is the Queen's kindness, I naturally cannot refuse. However, when working in Sui Yuxuan, being smart and diligent is one thing, but what I value more is the word 'loyalty'. Do you understand?" Zhen Huan said sternly.

"Yes, I understand. I will serve Wan Changzai, even if it means death."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Fuzi quickly agreed. It was unclear whether she was truly impressed or just doing it to get it over with.

Looking at Fu Zi like this, Zhen Huan had said everything she needed to say. As for the rest, it would depend on Fu Zi's performance in the future. She would not use her in any important position.

Zhen Huan turned her head and glanced at Huanbi: "Huanbi."

Huanbi understood immediately: "Fuzi, come with me."

After saying that, Huanbi took Fuzi away. She also understood what Zhen Huan meant. She just wanted her to do some rough work.

"It just so happens that Suiyuxuan is still short of a palace maid to sweep the courtyard. From now on, you will do this job." Huanbi picked up a broom and handed it to Fuzi.

It was not easy for these servants to live in the palace. They had no choice but to obey orders. If they met a good-natured master, they would have a better life. But if they met a bad-tempered master, they would have to endure it. Especially for people like Fuzi, who were arranged by other palaces, who would not be on guard? Their life would be even more difficult.

Fortunately, Zhen Huan's temper was not impatient, and she did not mistreat Fuzi or target her in any way. She just asked her to do some simple and rough work.

When Shen Meizhuang first heard that the Queen had arranged a palace maid for Zhen Huan, she was very anxious and anticipated many possibilities. In fact, the most difficult one to deal with was the maids in their thirties or forties, who were the most experienced and worried that Zhen Huan would be plotted against.

But now that he had met Fu Zi, who was only a little palace maid of about sixteen or seventeen years old, he felt much more relieved.

"Don't use Fuzi too much. Even though she seems okay on the surface, you still have to be on guard. After all, she was arranged by the Queen, and we don't know the Queen well." Shen Meizhuang was still worried and reminded her again.

"Sister, of course I know this." Zhen Huan also said seriously.

"I feel more at ease with Huanbi and Liuzhu watching over her."

"Alright."

Zhen Huan looked around and said, "Okay, you guys can leave first."

It seemed like he had something to say to Shen Meizhuang.

After the door was closed, Zhen Huan pulled Shen Meizhuang to sit down on the couch.

"Sister, you saw what happened with Xia just now. I always feel that it is not that simple. Concubine Hua doesn't look like someone who will let it go." Zhen Huan said in a low voice while holding Shen Meizhuang's hand.

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Shen Meizhuang thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. This matter was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface.

What happened just now is now replaying in Shen Meizhuang's mind over and over again, and it is still vivid in her mind.

......

"Miss."

Nian Shilan was sitting in the house, flipping through a book to kill time, when Songzhi came in from outside.

Just now, Nian Shilan noticed that something was wrong with Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan. In her previous life, she met Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong in the Imperial Garden.

However, it seems that later on, Zhen Huan was so frightened after seeing Fu Zi at the wellhead in the Imperial Garden that she fell seriously ill.

However, in this life, she did not keep Fu Zi by her side. The Queen would not do anything about it. However, to be on the safe side, Neng Nian Shi Lan still sent Song Zhi to go and check it out in case there was anything wrong.

After all, I have been reborn, and I don’t know how the current space is composed. Did I travel back to the past, or are these people just illusions? I haven’t figured these out yet.

Seeing Songzhi's expression, Nian Shilan knew something had happened, and her expression immediately became serious: "But what happened?"

"Your Majesty, it's Fuzi." Songzhi said softly.

"Fu character? What happened to Fuzi? Did something unexpected happen?!" When she heard it was Fuzi, Nian Shilan immediately became nervous.

Nian Shilan's first reaction was that Fuzi was dead. Zhen Huan saw her at the wellhead, just like in the previous life. But it shouldn't be like that. In the previous life, it was Zhou Ninghai who killed Fuzi. But in this life, she and Fuzi had no connection.

Seeing Nian Shilan so excited, Songzhi and Jinxi didn't know why.

"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. What kind of accident could happen to Fuzi? What I want to say is that Fuzi is now serving Concubine Wan." Songzhi said hurriedly. She followed Zhen Huan all the way to Suiyuxuan. Fuzi was inside Suiyuxuan and she saw it clearly.

Before, Songzhi wanted to give Fuzi to Concubine Hua. Songzhi and Jingxi knew this too, but the Empress refused. Now that Concubine Wan has entered the palace, the Empress has given Fuzi to Zhen Huan. Could it be that this Fuzi has some origin?

It's a bit strange that the queen is so anxious to send Fuzi away.

"Fuzi is in Suiyuxuan?" Nian Shilan was a little surprised. First, this Fuzi actually had some connections with Zhen Huan. Second, Zhen Huan would actually keep Fuzi.

But it could also be the same as in my previous life, I don’t know how to refuse.

But Zhen Huan should not be a fool. She must know why the Queen did this. But it’s better this way. The Queen made her purpose so obvious as soon as she came up. It’s impossible for Zhen Huan not to be on guard.

I don’t know what the fate of this blessed child is in this life, but if she lives longer, it can be attributed to her ability.

"Forget it, I'll just stay in Suiyuxuan. I don't think I'll be of much use to you."

Zhen Huan is an old rival. Nian Shilan can be said to know her very well and she is also clear about what kind of person she is.

"By the way, Songzhi, go and invite the emperor to come over for dinner tonight."

I was so focused on Zhen Huan's affairs that I forgot I had something important to do.

"Yes." Songzhi agreed and went to do it quickly.

Although there was a new person entering the palace, Nian Shilan sent someone to invite the emperor, and the emperor was happy too, after all, that was his favorite woman.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to visit the newlywed today? The newlywed has already paid her respects to the queen and is ready to sleep with her. You..." Su Peisheng reminded from the side.

Generally speaking, unless there are any accidents, when a new person enters the palace, the emperor will choose one of them to sleep with him, but today the emperor went to Concubine Hua.

If the Emperor didn't favor anyone today, I don't know how to explain it to the Queen Mother.

Although Su Peisheng is capable, he can be quite nagging sometimes, especially when the emperor is making a decision and Su Peisheng is trying to dissuade him. Fortunately, he is Su Peisheng. If it were any other concubine, she would have been scolded by the emperor long ago.

"It's okay. I'm just going to Shilan's place for dinner. It's no big deal. Besides, I've been busy with the beauty pageant these days, and I haven't seen Shilan for a long time. I miss her so much." The emperor didn't listen to Su Peisheng at all and walked out the door happily.

Su Peisheng had no choice, since he was the master, he quickly followed behind.

"Your Majesty will be able to feast on a feast today. The food in Concubine Hua's palace is top-notch. No wonder the Emperor loves to visit Concubine Hua." Su Peisheng teased as he walked beside the emperor.

“Hahaha, I like to go to Yikun Palace, not because of the food there, but mainly because I really have Concubine Hua here. In other words, I feel comfortable with her.” The emperor smiled and pointed to his chest and said.

"Yes. I understand."

After all, it was the emperor's own business, so Su Peisheng couldn't say anything. He just smiled and dealt with it without saying anything else.

The emperor had just left when Jianqiu arrived at the Yangxin Palace. Needless to say, Jianqiu's arrival was probably because the queen asked her to invite the emperor.

However, the door of the Yangxin Palace was closed, and Su Peisheng was not seen at the door. Jianqiu also knew that Su Peisheng was usually the one guarding outside the palace. Su Peisheng was not outside. Could it be that the emperor was not there? Not only Su Peisheng was not there, but Xiao Xiazi was also not there.

"Eunuch, is the emperor in there?" Jianqiu walked forward and asked a young eunuch.

Who is Jianqiu? She is someone close to the Queen, so how could anyone not know her? The young eunuch quickly replied, "Aunt Jianqiu, thank you for taking this trip. The Emperor just left."

Originally, the young eunuch thought that if Jianqiu didn't ask, he would not tell her about the emperor's visit to Yikun Palace. Firstly, it would make the queen angry, and secondly, it would add to the conflict between the queen and Concubine Hua.

However, Jianqiu must ask, otherwise it would be difficult to report to the Queen. Even if Jianqiu did not ask, the Queen would still ask Jianqiu when the time comes.

"The emperor just left. Where did he go?" Jianqiu asked.

However, the young eunuch didn't really want to say it, and he hesitated.

Originally, she knew that today was the day the newlyweds should sleep with the emperor, but the emperor went to Concubine Hua's place instead, and it was not known whether he would stay overnight. If this got to the ears of the queen, she would scold him again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has gone to Yikun Palace."

When Jianqiu heard the words Yikun Palace, her face immediately turned bad, and she thought to herself, "It's Concubine Hua again."

Coincidentally, there were several times when the Queen wanted to invite the Emperor but was always asked to leave by Nian Shilan.

Since the emperor could not be invited, Jianqiu returned to Jingren Palace to report to the queen.

Originally, the Queen had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the Emperor. She had set the table and was waiting for the Emperor to arrive.

"Miss."

Jianqiu came back and called out as soon as she entered the door.

The queen turned her head and looked over. Only Jianqiu was there, so she thought that the emperor must not have been invited.

"Today all the newlyweds can sleep with the emperor, but which young lady's palace did the emperor go to?" The queen asked slowly while sitting at the table.

The Queen had expected that Jianqiu could not invite the Emperor. After all, there were so many new people in the palace, it was normal for the Emperor to lose control.

"The emperor went to Yikun Palace." Jianqiu said with his head down.

"What?!" The queen suddenly turned her head and looked at Jianqiu.

This was something she had not expected. It would be fine for him to go to the newlyweds. It was also what she should do. No matter who the newlyweds were, as long as the emperor went, he could give an explanation to the empress dowager. However, if the emperor did so, she was afraid that the empress dowager would be angry.

"Does your Majesty want to remind the Emperor?" Jianqiu asked again.

But the queen shook her head and said, "No need."

The Queen thought that although the Queen Mother would be angry, she would not vent her anger on the Emperor. However, she could take advantage of today's incident to file a complaint against Concubine Hua in front of the Queen Mother.

The Emperor can favor Concubine Hua, but he cannot favor her exclusively. Being exclusively devoted is the last thing that should be seen in an imperial family.

Looking at the Queen's appearance, Jianqiu could think that the Queen might have other plans, so she didn't say anything else and just served her attentively.

"All the newlyweds are allowed to sleep with the emperor today. Which sister does the emperor plan to go to?" Concubine Hua asked tentatively.

Although Concubine Hua was not completely sure, she was 80% sure. If the emperor really knew where to go, he would not have come to her Yikun Palace.

"Isn't it good for me to be here with you?"

The emperor asked lazily. Looking at Nian Shilan's appearance, he naturally didn't want to leave.

". What is the emperor talking about? If the emperor really neglected his other sisters because of me, the queen mother will probably blame him."

Nian Shilan was not stupid. She would not break the rules for the emperor and offend the empress dowager. Besides, letting the emperor stay overnight was not her original purpose.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Jingshifang are here." Su Peisheng came in from outside and announced.

Xu Jinliang, the chief steward of the Jingshifang, was already waiting outside the gate of the Yiku Palace with a sign of the newlyweds. Although this was what the Jingshifang should do, it also had the Empress Dowager's intention.

As soon as Su Peisheng came in, Nian Shilan immediately understood what was going on, and quickly took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, today is a big day, and all the sisters are waiting to receive your grace. Why not let Eunuch Xu come in?"

The emperor thought about it and didn't say anything. About three seconds later, Su Peisheng waved to the door.

"Your servant pays his respects to His Majesty. Please turn over the plates." Xu Jinliang raised the plates above his head. They were all brand new plates. Among them, Concubine Xia's plate was the most conspicuous.

Sure enough, the emperor noticed it at a glance.

"Who is this Xia Changzai?"

Originally, Xia Dongchun was randomly picked by the Emperor when he was angry with the Empress Dowager that day, so naturally he didn't remember that there was such a person.

"Your Majesty, she is the daughter of the Baoyi Zuoling family, Xia Dongchun, and Xia Changzai, who lives in the Yanxi Palace."
