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

Chapter 141: Eager to win, 4 resentments arise

As for whether Shen Meizhuang would be envied by the concubines in the palace, what does that have to do with him?

In addition, the Queen clearly wanted to push Shen Meizhuang into this trap, and An Lingrong had clearly reminded Shen Meizhuang, but the other party was eager to win and wanted to achieve something urgently, so she jumped in without hesitation.

Now that she was pregnant, she naturally wished that all the attention of the palaces would be drawn away to Shen Meizhuang, and naturally would not make this matter clear in front of the emperor too early.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Although she would not take the initiative to harm others, she would not help others in everything either, especially when the other party knew that there was a problem but still wanted to do it regardless, she would not try to persuade them.

After all, her kindness is based on preserving herself. If she can't even take care of herself, she won't be so saintly as to care about the life and death of others.

"I heard that even Hua Fei's favorite crab roe cakes are out of stock. I wonder how angry Hua Fei will be when she knows this news."

Yu Hu couldn't help laughing out loud as she thought about the news she heard.

"I think Concubine Hua's favorite is crab roe crisps, but crab roe has always been expensive, and the imperial kitchen will naturally not purchase it now."

Suqin took over the conversation.

"It's not just Concubine Hua. If Concubine Shen does this, everyone in the palace will be offended."

"If the master can't even eat enough, then the servants under him will naturally not be able to get anything good."

Fu Cha Zhixi suddenly remembered that in the original plot, Concubine Hua had specifically asked Song Zhi to take some silver and money to distribute to the servants in each palace in order to win people's hearts.

"Aunt Fangqiu, the people in this garden are in a state of panic and resentment. I hope you and Eunuch Chai will work together to protect our natural painting and not let anything in that shouldn't come in."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Aunt Fang Qiu with a serious expression and said.

"The slaves obey."

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and realized what the other party was worried about.

The servants in the palace live a hard life nowadays. If someone bribes them, it is easy for traitors to appear.

Although the queen is kind-hearted and deliberately subsidizes the palace servants, there are still people who want to take advantage of the opportunity. It is indeed important to guard the courtyard well.

"Don't worry, Madam. The new servants serving in this garden, Suqin and I will always supervise them."

"When it comes to your Majesty's food and daily life, we servants will never let others do it, so we will definitely be extra careful."

Yuhu has indeed grown a lot now. She has reached the point where she will actively think about what she can do for the Empress without Fu Cha Zhixi telling her too much.

"That's right. You and Suqin are the only ones serving me. This way I feel more at ease."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Yu Hu approvingly and nodded.

"Don't worry, madam."

Suqin also quickly agreed.

"Huan'er, this is the sour plum soup that Caiyue made using a new recipe. Come and try it."

Shen Meizhuang smiled and pushed the bowl in her hand towards Zhen Huan.

"Sister Mei, you must have forgotten that I don't like sour things."

"Why did you bring sour plum soup today?"

Zhen Huan always felt that Shen Meizhuang looked a little strange today and didn't understand why she acted that way.

"Hey, I don't know why, my memory is not so good these days."

"Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, so I really like to drink this to cool off."

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan a little embarrassedly and explained.

"Sister has been busy these days following the Queen's lead in learning how to manage the affairs of the harem. It's normal for her to be confused for a while."

Zhen Huan didn't mind this little thing too much and spoke with a smile.

"It is because Fuling's sour plum soup is truly extraordinary that the young lady specially thought of bringing it here for you, Lady Wan, to taste."

Caiyue also spoke up to explain for her master.

"Poria?"

"You've never heard of this person?"

Zhen Huan was instinctively wary of this somewhat unfamiliar name and asked subconsciously.

"Replying to Lady Wan, this Fuling is a maid assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the young lady. She was originally from this temporary palace."

After Caiyue received Shen Meizhuang's eye signal, she began to explain to Zhen Huan.

The more Zhen Huan listened, the more she felt something was not right. How could she allow the servant sent by the Imperial Household Department to serve her food and drink?

She couldn't help but frown and looked at Sister Mei with some worry. When she was about to say something, she heard someone outside announcing that An Lingrong was coming.

"What are the two sisters talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

An Lingrong was dressed in a sky-blue Manchu dress, which made her look particularly fresh and refined, and it was a pleasant sight in this hot summer.

"We were just talking about this sour plum soup. Sister An, do you want to try it?"

Shen Meizhuang smiled and pointed to a bowl of sour plum soup on the table.

"I wanted to bring it to Huan'er to try, but I didn't expect Huan'er doesn't like sour things."

After saying this, Shen Meizhuang felt as if she had said something wrong.

Doesn't this mean that Huan'er didn't want to drink this bowl of soup, so she gave it to sister An?

Zhen Huan also felt something was wrong. She was about to say something to make amends for her sister Mei, but she saw An Lingrong with an unchanged smile on her face. She looked at the two of them and said.

"Really? Then I'm in for a treat."

An Lingrong did feel a little uncomfortable when she first heard Shen Meizhuang say these words, but she also knew that Shen Meizhuang was a good person, but sometimes she did speak without thinking.

That's right, I just don't have a brain.

If he really had some brains, he would not have given the emperor such an unreliable suggestion that would offend so many people.

An Lingrong originally thought that these two should all know about the incident during this period of time when Shen Meizhuang's suggestion caused a lot of resentment among the palaces in the Old Summer Palace, but now it seems that these two are not very clear about this matter.

"If you like it, I'll let Caiyue give you the recipe."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to mind, Shen Meizhuang finally put her mind at ease and said to An Lingrong with a smile.

"Thank you very much, sister."

An Lingrong nodded with an unchanged smile.

"Sister Mei, do you know that the palaces have not been doing well these days?"

Seeing that the two were a little at a loss, An Lingrong took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.

"what 's wrong?"

Shen Meizhuang was obviously stunned, as if she had never expected such a thing to happen. She didn't even know anything about it.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhen Huan, but the expression on her face was enough to show that she also knew about this.

"Sister Mei actually doesn't know anything about this?"

An Lingrong seemed to have not expected the other party to react like this. She looked at him strangely and asked.
