After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

In the Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua stood up suddenly and said, "Say it again, the emperor is furious because of your brother?"

Zhou Ninghai lowered his head and dared not look, "I heard what the people in front of the emperor said, I think it must be right."

Concubine Hua stared at him angrily and asked in confusion, "Brother has returned victorious, shouldn't the emperor be happy? Why is he so angry?"

Zhou Ninghai's eyes tightened, "Perhaps some ignorant people were gossiping in front of the emperor and blinding his eyes. It is also possible that the emperor misunderstood the general for a moment."

Concubine Cao patted Wen Yi's back gently, her hairpin swinging back and forth, "Yes, General Nian has returned with great success, and some people are jealous, but General Nian is a rare talent in our Qing Dynasty. The emperor is wise and will make a clear decision, so don't worry, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua turned to look at Cao Qinmo and spoke much faster.

"The emperor is angry, how can I not be anxious? I heard that the emperor met my brother in the Yangxin Palace that day, and my brother sat with his legs apart. Even when the emperor asked the generals to take off their armor, they only listened to my brother and didn't take the emperor seriously at all. How could my brother do this?"

Concubine Hua knocked on the table in annoyance, scaring everyone in the room so much that they dared not even breathe.

Cao Qin thought for a moment and said, "Instead of worrying here, why don't you go see the emperor and find out what he has to say?"

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes and finally smiled, "Yes, Songzhi, ask the kitchen to make some cakes that the emperor likes to eat. I will send them to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor in a while."

Songzhi turned sideways, bowed, and left the hall.

In the Yangxin Palace, after Zhang Tingyu's advice, the emperor temporarily put aside the idea of ​​dealing with Nian Gengyao. Seeing that it was still early, he called Su Peisheng and planned to go to Suiyuxuan to see Zhen Huan.

Just as he was about to go out, Concubine Hua came in with some food.

"Your Majesty, your servant pays respect to you." Concubine Hua put on a well-behaved look different from usual and looked at the emperor with blinking eyes.

The emperor leaned back slightly, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Hua waved her hand to let the maid put down the things, and she virtuously opened the food box herself, placed the plates one by one on the table, and respectfully handed over a pair of chopsticks with both hands.

"Your Majesty, I personally watched them make these. Your Majesty, please try them, especially this mung bean cake. It is the best way to cool down in the summer."

The emperor picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. As he was chewing, he saw a red patch on Hua Fei's fingertips and asked, "What happened to your hand? How did the servants take care of it?"

Songzhi knelt on the ground in a hurry and cried, "Your Majesty, you don't know, these past few days, the Queen has been looking forward to your coming, and she has been going to the small kitchen to watch them cook for every meal. Sometimes, she was afraid that they didn't cook well, so she gave some pointers from the side, and even cooked for them herself.

I have advised Her Majesty to let us handle these trivial matters, but Her Majesty said that nothing is more important than the Emperor's food and drink. The burns on Her Majesty's hands were caused by carelessness when cooking."

Hua Fei leaned to one side and pretended to blame, "How can you have the right to speak in front of the emperor?"

She straightened her body again and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Songzhi's nonsense. What I did is nothing."

At the door, the pair of eyes under the brim of Eunuch Su's hat had already seen through everything.

The emperor took Hua Fei's hand and patted it twice. "If the people around you don't tell me, how long are you going to keep it a secret from me? I'll have someone go to the Imperial Hospital to get some good medicine. You don't have to do this kind of thing yourself in the future. It's a pity to use your delicate hands to do this."

Concubine Hua lowered her head shyly and pouted.

She pressed herself against the emperor's chest for a while, as if she had just come to her senses. "I saw that the emperor was in a hurry just now. Are you going out?"

Su Peisheng exchanged glances with the emperor from a distance, and the emperor said, "I haven't been to Yikun Palace for quite a while. I was just about to go see you when you came over."

When Concubine Hua heard this, she felt happy and proud, "This is what it means to be in tune with each other!"

The emperor raised her chin playfully and asked, "Don't you always dislike poetry and literature?"

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Your Majesty likes talented women. When I have time, I want to read more poetry and books so that I can talk with Your Majesty more."

The Emperor hugged Concubine Hua and laughed, but his smile was fake.

Mei Zhuang was sitting in the palace and was feeling relieved when she heard the emperor was angry about Nian Gengyao, but then the eunuch came to report that Concubine Hua had been in the Yangxin Palace for an hour and the emperor must have lunch with her.

Mei Zhuang was so angry that she grabbed the handkerchief and almost knocked over the teacup with a "bang".

"Nian Gengyao was extremely disrespectful to the Emperor, and Concubine Hua just bowed her head and gave in and let him off? I'm so angry."

Caiyue brought another cup of tea and nervously comforted her, "My lady, don't get angry and get yourself hurt. The emperor has his reasons for doing this."

Mei Zhuang snorted coldly and stood up, "Let's go to Sui Yu Xuan to see Huan'er."

When Mei Zhuang came in, Ling Rong and Zhen Huan were talking and laughing.

"I noticed that you were in a bad mood a few days ago, but it seems that you are feeling better now." Sister Mei put aside her unhappy expression and walked in with a relaxed and happy expression.

When Ling Rong saw her coming, she hurriedly stood up to give up her seat, but Mei Zhuang pushed her down, "You just sit here, I'll sit aside."

Ling Rong felt uneasy and stood up again, "I'll sit here. It's not good for Sister to sit next to me. Sister Mei should sit here!"

Seeing this, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Okay, we don't need to be so particular in private. Lingrong, you take a seat. Huanbi, go get Sister Mei a soft chair."

Huanbi agreed with a smile and came over with a chair after a while.

The three of them were all angry when they talked about the past. Just then, Xiao Yunzi came in.

"My lord, I heard from the eunuch in front of the emperor that due to the flood in Henan, the emperor and the queen are going to leave the palace to pray for blessings. It is estimated that they will leave in the next two days. The palace... the palace affairs will be handed over to Concubine Hua to take care of."

When Huanbi heard this, her heart tightened instantly. In her previous life, the young lady's first child was lost when Concubine Hua was in charge of the harem. This time, she must protect the young lady at all costs.

Mei Zhuang's face darkened. "It seems that the emperor has restored Hua Fei's power to assist in managing the six palaces."

Zhen Huan smiled disdainfully, "Nian Gengyao has returned triumphantly and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, how can Concubine Hua not be arrogant?

But I don’t understand, the emperor was clearly angry with Nian Gengyao, but he didn’t punish him, and even praised Hua Fei so much, is it really because he loves her deeply?"

Sister Mei sneered, "The Emperor's friendship, haha, is the most unreliable thing in the world. Hua Fei can believe it if she wants to, but now that the Emperor and Empress are gone, the harem has become Nian Shilan's world. I'm afraid she will stir up trouble again."

Lingrong nodded, also a little scared. Huanbi looked at her and suddenly had an idea.
