After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 106: What if the Queen Mother doesn’t want to see you?

"A man should stand between heaven and earth, and should make achievements and return home in glory. But you asked me to take off my armor and return to the countryside, to be a man without ambition. How can I face my ancestors? Don't say such things again! I am busy with military affairs, so I will not reply to your letters from now on. Take care."

Five days later, Concubine Hua received a reply from Nian Gengyao.

Looking at Nian Gengyao's stubborn look in the letter, Concubine Hua sat dejectedly on the chair.

Brother, brother, why can’t Shilan wake you up?

Since Nian Gengyao's ideological work failed, Concubine Hua could only do the work of Nian Fu and Nian Bin.

"This time, if your father returns victorious, you must persuade him to retreat while the tide is still."

Nian Fu and Nian Bin were puzzled and asked why.

When Concubine Hua thought about the tragedy that was about to happen, she didn't care about anything else and just said something.

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the good dog is cooked. When the high bird is gone, the good bow is hidden. When the enemy country is defeated, the counsellor dies."

Nian Fu and Nian Bin were somewhat educated, so their faces turned ugly when they heard this.

"Aunt, father did nothing wrong. I don't think the emperor would do this." Nian Fu comforted Concubine Hua and also comforted himself.

Concubine Hua shook her head. "We are in the Forbidden City. How can we know what happened thousands of miles away in the northwest?"

Moreover, if the emperor really wanted to kill Nian Gengyao, wouldn't he be afraid of not having charges against him?

"Remember what I said today. If your father returns victorious, please tell him this."

Seeing that Concubine Hua had a serious and solemn expression, Nian Fu and Nian Bin nodded seriously.

Hua Fei closed her eyes. She felt that she couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor looked at the battle report and slammed the table.

Su Peisheng was dozing off, and was so scared that he quickly straightened his hat and was about to ask what had happened.

Then the emperor laughed heartily and said, "Well, Nian Gengyao lived up to my expectations and has driven Lobsang Danjin into a dead end. Now Lobsang Danjin is like a dog from a hundred families and has fled to the Junggar tribe!"

Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is a great event!"

The emperor nodded, "What a happy event! What a happy event! This year, we must celebrate it well!"

The news that Nian Gengyao had won a victory in the previous dynasty was immediately spread to the harem.

The Queen's hand was shaking as she was practicing calligraphy, and the character "和" (harmony) that she wrote calmly was written crookedly.

"Your Majesty, if General Nian returns with a great victory, the Emperor will definitely reward him handsomely." Jianqiu said worriedly.

The queen threw the pen aside heavily, "It's not just Nian Gengyao who will give a big reward. If one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit."

Jian Qiu asked: "My Lady, are you saying that the Emperor will reward Concubine Hua generously?"

The queen sighed, "The huge rewards are just empty talk, they are not as real as the promotion of status."

Jianqiu had a bad feeling in his heart.

"My Lady, do you mean that the Emperor will promote Concubine Hua to Imperial Noble Concubine? This goes against the ancestral system. Concubine Hua has not given birth to a son or daughter, but has been promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine. The Empress Dowager will not agree to this either."

The Queen sat back in her chair and sneered.

"What if the Queen Mother agrees?"

Jianqiu shook her head, "How is that possible? The Queen Mother is also from the Ulanara clan!"

The Queen said, "So it depends on the Queen Mother's side."

The New Year is coming soon, and the palace is starting to decorate, with festive red everywhere. The palace maids and eunuchs are busy cutting red paper.

Concubine Hua came to Shoukang Palace.

Aunt Zhuxi came out to greet them personally.

"Greetings to Concubine Hua."

"Aunt Zhuxi, please stand up."

Zhu Xi stood up and looked at Concubine Hua and said with a smile: "Didn't the Queen Mother say that the weather is cold, Concubine Hua doesn't need to come so often, lest you catch a cold."

Concubine Hua turned around and looked at the newly made fox and mink coat in Songzhi's hand. "Shilan's brother Nian Gengyao hunted a hundred-year-old fox in the northwest and made a coat with its fur. I brought it specially to the Queen Mother. Please tell Aunt Zhuxi about it."

It was still cold in February, with heavy snow falling from the sky from time to time.

Seeing Concubine Hua lying in the snow with her nose red from the cold, Zhu Xi couldn't bear it anymore and went back to report to the Queen Mother.

"My lady, if you still feel upset after seeing Concubine Hua, I will go and send her away right away."

Zhu Xi knew that the Queen Mother always felt uncomfortable whenever she heard Concubine Hua mention the dead fetus because of some past events.

Her master is the Queen Mother, so naturally she thinks of the Queen Mother in everything.

If the Queen Mother is unhappy, then Zhu Xi also feels that there is no need to see Concubine Hua.

The Queen Mother was silent for a long while. Listening to the whistling wind outside and the heavy snow in the sky outside the window, she sighed.

"In fact, Concubine Hua is just a miserable person. It is understandable that she complained to me. I am guilty and dare not face her."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was worried, Zhu Xi said, "Then I will go and tell Concubine Hua to leave."

"Wait, let me think about it again." The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly.

"My queen, it's snowing so hard and the wind is so cold. How long will the queen mother keep you waiting?"

Songzhi felt distressed when she saw that Hua Fei’s ears and nose were red from the cold and her lips were a little purple.

"Wait until the Queen Mother is willing to see me." Concubine Hua stood in the snow, looking firmly towards the bedroom of Shoukang Palace.

Judging from the time, Aunt Zhuxi should have told the Queen Mother and reported to Concubine Hua long ago.

The reason why he hasn't come yet is probably because he doesn't want to see Concubine Hua.

"Your Majesty, what if the Queen Mother doesn't want to see you?" Song Zhi asked cautiously.

Hua Fei said word by word: "Then wait until the Queen Mother is willing to see me."

Songzhi gritted her teeth and said, "Then I will compensate you."

After a stick of incense had passed, Concubine Hua's jet-black hair was already covered with white snow.

Hua Fei's hands had turned purple from the cold in the snow.

"Zhu Xi, go and see if Concubine Hua is still here. If she is, tell her that I am asleep. If she is willing to wait, she can wait. If she is not willing to wait, she can go back and rest first and come back another day."

Aunt Zhuxi took the order and came to the door, where she saw the graceful figure of Concubine Hua standing in the snow.

As expected of a daughter of a general, even when standing in such a heavy snowstorm, Hua Fei did not shiver like other girls, but stood straight with a very upright posture.

Aunt Zhuxi felt her eyes getting hot. She sniffed and walked forward into the wind and snow. A gust of cold wind poured directly into her body.

Aunt Zhuxi couldn't help but shiver.

How did Concubine Hua manage to stand in the snow for so long?

She walked up to Concubine Hua and looked at her with more respect than before.

"The Queen Mother is still taking a nap and will not wake up for a while. If Concubine Hua has other things to do, you can go back and come to see the Queen Mother another day."

Hua Fei said with trembling purple lips: "Thank you, Aunt Zhuxi. I will wait here for the Queen Mother to wake up."
