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

Chapter 316: Winning over the nobles and plotting against the Queen Mother

"It is the Queen's duty to teach the concubines. You, Hua Fei, naturally don't understand these principles."

"But I have to remind my sister that after you get promoted, you must be more careful with your words and actions, and don't make any jokes that are not worthy of being shown on stage."

The queen had a smile on her face, but her words were like a knife stabbing directly at Concubine Hua.

"Thank you for your guidance, Queen. When I am promoted in the future, I will definitely work harder to help you manage the harem so that you can have more rest."

Hua Fei was very disdainful of the Queen's behavior of using her power to bully others because she could not get the upper hand in the argument.

"Today, I was only concerned about my sister Hua Fei, but neglected Noble Nian."

"Mr. Nian, you are new to the palace. Is there any inconvenience?"

The Queen glanced at Noble Lady Nian who was sitting at the back, and the smile on her lips became more and more obvious.

After all, according to her understanding of Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua hated any woman who competed with her for the emperor's favor, even if that woman was her sister.

What's more, Concubine Hua might not have known about this Noble Lady Nian entering the palace. As such, Concubine Hua would definitely not look at this Noble Lady Nian with a good face.

If the time is right, she could ask someone to get in touch with this young nobleman. Maybe he could find a useful knife.

"Your Majesty, I have no inconvenience whatsoever."

Before Noble Lady Nian stood up, she glanced cautiously in the direction of Concubine Hua, but Concubine Hua didn't even pay her any attention, so she had no choice but to stand up and reply honestly.

Although before she entered the palace, the people of the Nian family told her a lot, asking her to serve the emperor well and win his favor, some said that it should be easy for her to win his favor with her looks.

Her brother repeatedly reminded her to obey her sister's instructions in everything after entering the palace, to help her sister win the emperor's favor again, and to remember not to compete with her sister.

In the past, she would feel heartbroken when she heard her brother say such things.

But now, she no longer feels sad about their partiality.

She never wanted to enter the palace, let alone compete for the favor of an emperor who was about the same age as her father. She just wanted to live a peaceful life in this palace.

As for what her brother and father said, she felt that they were just thinking too much.

Not to mention, today when she entered the palace and looked at the concubines in the palace, she felt as if she had entered a fairyland and saw fairies. They were all beautiful and charming in their own ways. How could she, with her frail figure, compare to them?

Besides, the emperor still dotes on her sister, and her sister hates her presence. Her sister doesn't need her help at all, and she can't help her sister in any way.

"That's good. You entered the palace in such a hurry that I was not able to have someone clean up the room you were staying in in advance. This was really my negligence."

"But I think that Concubine Hua is your elder sister. If you live in Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua will naturally take care of you, so I can feel a little more at ease."

When the Queen saw Concubine Hua’s unhappy expression, she felt even more relieved.

It seems that using this noble lady Nian to deal with Concubine Hua is very useful.

Seeing the queen being so gentle, Noblewoman Nian felt a rare sense of gratitude, and developed a sense of dependence on the queen in her heart.

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

Noble Lady Nian stood up and looked at the Queen with gratitude and said.

After all, it was her first time meeting the Queen Mother, and no one had told her how to behave. She only remembered a lot of the rules that the nanny at home had told her, but she was simply unable to cope with such a big occasion.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not pick out the gift for herself, but asked about her in a gentle manner and showed concern for her.

Compared with her sister who was indifferent and even a little disgusted with her, the Queen was so gentle and easy-going, just like the Chinese mother in her heart.

Seeing Concubine Nian's tearful expression, the Queen felt more confident in getting Concubine Nian to come to her side.

Concubine Hua gave Nian Shishao a look of disdain, and she felt quite disdainful of her younger sister's petty behavior.

Fu Cha Zhixi, who was sitting aside and watching this good show, felt that Concubine Hua was really getting too arrogant now.

It seems that the love potion that the emperor fed to Concubine Hua was very effective. Even now, Concubine Hua still believes that the emperor will make her a royal concubine.

Putting aside other things, the emperor himself is a very law-abiding person. How could he enthrone an imperial concubine when there was already a queen?

Hua Fei also compared herself with Imperial Noble Consort Dong E. It is recorded in history books how favored Emperor Shunzhi was to Imperial Noble Consort Dong E. How could Hua Fei compare to her?

What's more, Queen Borjigit was born in the Mongolian military banner. The emperor did not want the Mongolian forces to grow in his harem, so he naturally would not give any face to this queen of Mongolian origin.

But the current queen is actually from the Manchu military flag, and the empress dowager is behind her. How could the emperor abandon the queen just to help Concubine Hua to the throne?

However, for her, the imperial decree that prohibited the empress from being deposed left behind after her death was indeed a bit troublesome.

For her little Fuzhen, for her family, and for herself.

She hoped that she could become the queen in the future, and her family background was much better than other concubines in the palace. If the queen was deposed, she would naturally have a chance to compete.

But before that, she had to clear the obstacles in front of her, the first of which was the Queen Mother.

Fu Cha Zhixi carefully recalled the original plot and thought that this point should be the time when the emperor was going to take action against Longkodo.

And Longkodo just happened to be the empress dowager's old lover. If he could handle it properly, maybe he could make the empress dowager and Longkodo go to the underworld together to relive their old love.

However, this matter needs to be carefully considered. It would be best to do it without bloodshed and without leaving any handle.

After coming out of the Queen's Palace, she has been thinking about this question.

Soon, she remembered what she had heard before. In history, Longkodo had a concubine whom he loved very much. She was snatched away from his father-in-law. For the sake of this concubine, he even turned his wife into a human pig. It was extremely cruel.

"Suqin, ask the palace to find out if Lord Longkodo has any weaknesses, such as people or things he particularly likes."

Fucha Zhixi did not directly ask them to inquire about Longkodo's concubine. After all, she should not know such things with her status.

"Yes, Madam. I will go right away."

Suqin was the maid given to Fucha Zhixi by Lady Fucha. After entering the palace, the task of contacting people in the mansion was also given to Suqin.

Suqin was a cautious person, and she had never made any mistakes in this regard. She would carefully hide the content to be conveyed in the written letters home, so that even if someone wanted to check, they would not be able to find anything.

After the letter was delivered to the Fucha Mansion, there would naturally be servants who were familiar with the whole thing and reorganize the translated content.
