Chapter 283: Zhen Huan is frustrated, Jingpin is promoted to concubine
"Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings."
Zhen Huan arrived a little late, but because the Emperor was present today, Concubine Hua did not dwell on the matter.
After all, the more she saw Zhen Huan's frustrated look, the happier she felt, so naturally she was too lazy to argue with her about such a small matter.
"Get up, you don't look well."
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan's face, which was obviously much more haggard, and said with some concern.
"Your Majesty, I may have drunk a cup of strong tea before going to bed, so I didn't get enough rest."
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and then began to explain.
"What are the palace servants who serve the noble lady doing? How can they serve the noble lady strong tea before bedtime?"
The Queen spoke in a very virtuous and concerned manner.
Although the Queen still needs Zhen Huan and does not want her to collapse, she has to admit that it is really refreshing to see such a frustrated look on a face that is 80% similar to her sister.
"Thank you for your concern, my lady. I will rest more after I return."
Zhen Huan quickly opened her mouth to thank him.
"This time, Concubine Hua, Concubine Xuan, and Concubine Hui have made great contributions to the epidemic in the palace. Especially Concubine Hua, she helped the Queen arrange the affairs of the six western palaces during this epidemic, which made the Queen feel a lot more relaxed."
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with admiration in his eyes.
Concubine Hua stood up shyly and thanked the emperor. Without the little bitch Zhen Huan blocking her way, the emperor's attitude towards her became much better.
"Congratulations, Concubine Hua."
The Queen smiled and congratulated Concubine Hua.
Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at the Queen imperceptibly. She was not doing all this for the Queen. The Queen was really getting more and more pretentious.
"Jingpin has served me for quite some time. Moreover, she has taken good care of Princess Wenyi and has been very diligent in helping the queen to manage the six palaces. These are all your contributions, and you should be rewarded."
"Jingpin has a kind and gentle character, is prudent and prudent, and is canonized as Jingfei."
The emperor smiled and said to Concubine Jing who was sitting beside him.
Jingpin never expected that she would have something to do today, and it was such a happy event. This really caught her off guard, and for a moment she was so rude that she did not answer the emperor immediately.
Upon seeing this, Fu Cha Zhixi coughed softly at Jingpin who was sitting next to her, signaling her to answer the emperor quickly.
The emperor, who was sitting at the very top, naturally noticed Xier's little action and couldn't help but smile.
Concubine Jing is an honest person and is genuinely nice to the princess.
Although he had given the princess to Concubine Jing before, he was still worried about whether Concubine Jing could take good care of the princess and whether she would use the princess to win favor like Concubine Hua did.
But since the princess came to Jingpin's palace, there has been almost no news of the princess being unwell. Every time he went to Xianfu Palace to see Jingpin, he found that Wen Yi was much heavier than last time, which shows that Jingpin took good care of the princess.
In addition, now that Hua Fei is very powerful, he is worried that Xi'er alone may not be able to compete with Hua Fei, so he has to raise the status of Jingpin. In this way, while they are both concubines, with Jingpin and Xi'er holding Hua Fei hostage, Hua Fei can be a little more restrained.
"Are you so happy that you even forgot to thank me?"
The emperor smiled and looked at Jingpin and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After being reminded by Fucha Zhixi and teased by the emperor, Jingpin quickly stood up and thanked the emperor.
"The ceremony of enthronement will be held on the 19th of next month. You and Concubine Hua entered the palace from the royal residence in the same year, and you are also old people in the palace. I am confident in you."
"The queen is not feeling well. You, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Hua are the two who need to share her worries."
There were many hints in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Jingpin.
After all, the position of concubine was not given for free. If you accept the benefits given by him, you naturally have to do something.
Concubine Jing was no fool, so she naturally understood what the emperor meant by this.
"I will certainly fulfill my duties and do my best to relieve Her Majesty the Queen's worries."
"Congratulations, Sister Jingfei."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly, looked at Concubine Jing and congratulated her.
Concubine Jing smiled a little embarrassedly.
The harmonious atmosphere between the two of them made Concubine Hua, who was standing by, very unhappy.
After all, in this case, Jingpin became Jingfei, and it would not be so easy to deal with her and Xuanfei together.
"Recently, the scholars in Henan Province have been causing trouble and boycotting the exam, so I decided to go there in person to see what's going on. After I leave, the harem will be handed over to the Queen, with Concubine Hua, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xuan helping to manage it."
The emperor spoke to the crowd.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to help you take care of the harem."
The queen smiled and took over the conversation.
Concubine Hua was a little annoyed. Although the Queen was not favored by the Emperor, she had this title and many things she did were not justified.
When Concubine Jing heard that the emperor was going to leave the palace, she subconsciously looked at Concubine Hua. Seeing that the other party's face was not very good, she felt a little uneasy.
With the Emperor leaving the palace this time, there will probably be turmoil in the harem again.
As for Fu Cha Zhixi, his face remained as cold as ever and it was hard to tell that he had any major emotional fluctuations.
But the emperor keenly sensed Xier's unhappiness. I guess she felt sad knowing that I would be away from the palace for a while.
The emperor looked at Fucha Zhixi lovingly, but Fucha Zhixi seemed not to be aware of the emperor's gaze at all. She lowered her eyes and looked at the handkerchief in her hand.
Sure enough, he was angry.
The emperor understood what was happening and decided to go and comfort the girl later. Otherwise, he didn’t know how angry she would be after he had been away for so long.
"This servant greets the young master."
"I heard that the emperor wants you to serve Sister Mei until she recovers. It's really hard work for you, aunt."
Zhen Huan reached out and held Aunt Fang Ruo's hand and spoke softly.
"Your Excellency is too polite. This is what I should do."
Fang Ruo said with a smile.
"Lady Wan, the medicine on the stove will be ready soon. I will leave first."
Fangruo was very considerate and left space for the two sisters.
"Sister, are you feeling better now?"
"I heard that you had the epidemic, and I was worried about you for a long time. Now that you look better, I feel a little relieved."
Zhen Huan said as she looked at Mei Zhuang, whose lips were pale, with a worried look in her eyes.
"Why is there so much noise outside? What happened?"
Mei Zhuang looked outside and asked curiously.
"It's because Concubine Jing has been personally canonized as Concubine Jing by the Emperor, so there should be a lot of people coming to congratulate her, that's why there's a bit of noise."
Zhen Huan also looked outside and explained with a smile.
"I see. Concubine Jing is also an old lady in the palace. Now that she has the merit of raising the princess, it is not surprising that she is promoted to a concubine."
Shen Meizhuang spoke.
