The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 362: Beware of Songzhi, Concubine Hua is in a panic

"We used to fly paper boats together, and we always said that the farther we fly, the farther we will marry. My sister said that we should marry to the same place so that we can be together every day."

"Now that we are together every day, we are not as close as we were when we were children. We have become so estranged."

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of grievance.

"Sister, are you really going to be estranged from your sister?"

"All good things must come to an end. Forget it. Go back now. You don't have to come here again in the future."

Shen Meizhuang felt a little reluctant when she saw Zhen Huan in such a state, but many things stood between them, preventing her from seeing clearly what Zhen Huan was like now.

"One day the elder sister will understand the younger sister's feelings."

Zhen Huan felt a pain in her heart when she saw Shen Meizhuang turning her face away.

The pain of Sister Mei ignoring him was even greater than the discomfort of being treated coldly by the Emperor.

"maybe."

Shen Meizhuang didn't want to look at Zhen Huan, so she spoke in a calm tone.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and left.

As Shen Meizhuang listened to the footsteps of Zhen Huan leaving, she felt more and more uncomfortable.

Here, in order to make Zhen Huan work for him more attentively, the Emperor personally ordered to summon Zhen Huan's mother into the palace.

Zhen Huan was extremely happy to see her mother and sister again, and all the sadness she had felt during this period because of her sister Mei had faded a lot.

"Your Majesty, be safe."

"Get up, what are you talking about that makes you laugh so happily?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua and asked.

"I was just joking with Songzhi, saying that if we were in the palace on such a hot day, we would be as hot as roasted sweet potatoes."

Concubine Hua looked at the emperor with a smile and said.

"Your Qingliang Palace is the coolest place in the Old Summer Palace. Why do you still think it's hot?"

The emperor asked in return.

"How could that be? I know how well the Emperor treats me."

"By the way, Your Majesty, please prepare to wash your hands before eating. I have prepared many dishes that Your Majesty likes."

Concubine Hua smiled and called Songzhi over to help the emperor wash his hands.

When the emperor was washing his hands, he suddenly felt that the powder for washing his hands was different from before, and asked casually.

But Songzhi interrupted Concubine Hua at this time and gave her a stern speech.

She didn't notice at all that Concubine Hua was staring at her viciously.

But the emperor did not miss Hua Fei's look.

He looked at Songzhi who was talking in front of him, his eyes flashed. Could it be that Songzhi also knew about spices?

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but open his mouth to test it out.

"I didn't know you knew these things before."

"Your Highness is very careful with the things you use. I have been keeping an eye on these things for you. After a while, you will naturally understand them."

Songzhi smiled and spoke to the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, the vigilance in his eyes became more obvious. It seemed that Song Zhi could not be kept.

"You are quite good, and your hands are white. No wonder Concubine Hua is willing to use things you have tried."

The emperor looked at Songzhi meaningfully and spoke.

After saying this, Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi with even more resentment. Could it be that Songzhi was also planning to betray her and seduce the emperor?

"I remember your name is Songzhi?"

"Your Majesty, my surname is Qiao, and Songzhi is the name given to me by the Queen."

Songzhi was delighted to see that the emperor was willing to ask her name, and she quickly explained.

She is naturally loyal to the Empress, but except for Concubine Cao, everyone else around Concubine Hua is useless.

There is no capable helper around her. If something happens to the queen, there will be no one to help her.

If Her Majesty had fallen out of favor this time, and the Emperor had someone close to Him who could speak well of Her Majesty, it wouldn't have taken so long for Her Majesty to regain His Majesty's favor.

"Zhilan Yushu is a good name."

The emperor looked at Songzhi with even more passion in his eyes. Seeing this, Concubine Hua became extremely angry.

Even when eating, the emperor refused Hua Fei's offer to serve him food and instead asked Song Zhi to serve him food.

After this series of moves, Concubine Hua became completely jealous of Songzhi.

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua's glares that occasionally drifted towards Songzhi, and felt that his appetite had improved a lot.

The previous dynasty was busy with political affairs, and at the suggestion of the emperor, more and more people began to impeach Nian Gengyao. Fortunately, the impeachments were all trivial matters, and the emperor naturally took this opportunity to express his trust in Nian Gengyao, making the already arrogant Nian Gengyao even more complacent.

When Concubine Hua in the palace learned about this at the emperor's instruction, she was panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do.

It just so happened that at this time the emperor deliberately did not visit Hua Fei in her palace for several days, which made Hua Fei even more panicked and uneasy.

"Go ask the emperor where he has been these days since he came to my palace."

After Hua Fei sent Su Peisheng away with a grim look on her face, she asked Song Zhi.

Soon, Songzhi came back with the news she had heard.

"Reporting to the queen, the emperor has been to the Imperial Concubine and Wanpin these days."

Songzhi answered cautiously.

"Your Majesty, haven't you ever been to the noble lady's place for years?"

Hua Fei asked somewhat uncertainly.

"No."

Songzhi shook her head affirmatively.

"The emperor didn't come to this palace, nor did he come to the noble lady's palace last year. Could it be that the emperor is really angry with my brother?"

Hua Fei no longer cared about being jealous and was only worried about her brother.

In a panic, he actually went straight to Noble Nian and wanted to discuss the matter with him.

Noble Lady Nian was dismissive of Concubine Hua's worries. She had her younger brother as a backer. The Emperor was very optimistic about her younger brother because of her. If Nian Gengyao passed away, it would be a great joy for her, as her younger brother could take this opportunity to become the head of their eldest house.

Concubine Hua didn't expect that Noble Lady Nian was not worried at all. This made her extremely angry, and she secretly cursed her in her heart for being such a loser.

Helplessly, Concubine Nian had no way around it. She remembered that the Emperor seemed to have some interest in Songzhi before. Although she was extremely unwilling, she could only push Songzhi away since things had come to this point.

On this side, Fu Cha Zhixi turned a deaf ear to the disturbances in the palace. As long as it didn't affect her, she was too lazy to get involved.

"Are you reading Xunzi?"

The emperor walked in with a majestic carriage and spoke with some curiosity.

"Why did the emperor come here suddenly?"

Fu Cha Zhixi put down the book, looked at the emperor curiously and asked.

"Why don't you want me to come?"

"Humph, Your Majesty has found another beauty now. I just didn't expect Your Majesty to know how to get to Wufu Hall. I was just a little curious for a moment."

Fu Cha Zhixi wrinkled her nose and spoke in a coquettish tone.

"How could that be? I don't believe you can't see it in this situation."

The emperor put his arm around Fucha Zhixi's shoulders and spoke softly.
