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

Chapter 109: Who said Concubine Hua has no children?

"This matter does not depend on what I do, but on what Nian Gengyao does," the emperor said meaningfully.

The Queen Mother understood what the Emperor meant.

"I hope Nian Gengyao can live up to Concubine Hua's sensible attitude."

Inside Jingren Palace.

Jianqiu told the Queen what had happened in the past two days.

"That day, Concubine Hua went to see the Queen Mother, but was left alone in the snow for half an hour. I guess the Queen Mother didn't want to see Concubine Hua either."

The queen was comfortably rubbed on her temples by Jianqiu and did not say a word.

"The next day, the Queen Mother went to the Yangxin Palace to find the Emperor. As for what they talked about, I don't know."

The Queen opened her eyes, "After all, the Queen Mother still met Hua Fei."

"So what if she meets Concubine Hua? After all, the Queen Mother is from the same family as you, Your Majesty." Jianqiu comforted the Queen.

The queen waved her hand and asked Jianqiu to stop.

"I guess I'll have to go to Concubine Hua's place again tonight."

Nian Gengyao fought such a great battle for the emperor. The queen knew that in order to appease Nian Gengyao, the emperor would definitely go to Yikun Palace diligently during this period.

The Queen's back teeth almost broke at the thought of this.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is only favored because of General Nian's merits. No matter how arrogant she is, she is just a concubine. According to folk sayings, she is just a concubine. And you will always be the emperor's wife!"

Jianqiu's words somewhat comforted the Queen.

"At this time, I must show my queen's bearing!"

For dinner, as per custom, the emperor came to Jingren Palace for his meal.

The queen was very happy and kept adding more dishes and soup to the emperor.

Thinking of Nian Gengyao's victory, the queen asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, General Nian has made such a great contribution. How do you plan to reward him?"

When mentioning this, the emperor chuckled.

"I want a big reward! This is the first big battle since I ascended the throne, and Nian Gengyao fought beautifully for me!"

The queen forced a smile and said, "Yes, Nian Gengyao is invincible in battle and has a very high prestige in the army!"

The smile on the emperor's face faded slightly.

"Yes, Nian Gengyao has been on the march for many years, so naturally he is closer to the soldiers."

Seeing the displeasure on the emperor's face, the queen poured a glass of wine and said worriedly: "The people in the army only know Nian Gengyao, not the emperor."

"Nian Gengyao wouldn't dare." The emperor took the wine and drank it all, his expression becoming increasingly uglier.

"Your Majesty must make plans early." The Queen said cautiously.

The emperor picked up a few pieces of crispy meat and ate them silently without saying anything.

After drinking another glass of wine, he looked at the queen and narrowed his cold eyes.

"The Queen seems to know a lot about the past."

"I dare not!" Seeing the anger in the emperor's eyes, the queen quickly stood up, knelt down and thanked him.

"Why don't you ask what the harem should reward us for this great victory? After all, many of the concubines' fathers and brothers also participated in the war."

The emperor did not ask the queen to get up, but kept looking at her and asking without blinking.

"I have actually thought about it, and was thinking of discussing it with the Emperor." The Queen said as she knelt down, feeling very uncomfortable.

The emperor felt a little sorry when he saw this, after all, he knew that the queen was not in good health.

"Okay, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only after sitting back in her chair did the Queen breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk about Concubine Hua. I plan to promote her to Imperial Noble Concubine." The emperor placed the wine glass heavily on the table and looked at the queen.

After hearing what the emperor said, the queen swallowed her anger back into her stomach.

She forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua has no children. If you promote her to Imperial Noble Concubine, it may violate the ancestral rules."

"Who said Concubine Hua has no children?" The emperor interrupted the queen.

The Queen was startled and asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, is Concubine Hua pregnant?"

How is it possible? Wasn't Hua Fei's Yikun Palace always padded with Huan Yi Xiang?

How could Concubine Hua be pregnant under such circumstances?

Looking at the wonderful expression on the queen's face, the emperor curled his lips slightly.

"Doesn't Concubine Hua have the Fourth Prince? Since she is the Fourth Prince's mother, she can naturally be named Imperial Noble Concubine."

When the queen heard the emperor say this, her smile was uglier than crying.

"So, the emperor was talking about the Fourth Prince."

"Otherwise, what do you think I am talking about?" The emperor looked at the queen meaningfully.

The Queen smiled gently, "I thought Concubine Hua was pregnant. If this is true, it would be a great joy."

The emperor sighed and thought that it would be impossible for Concubine Hua to become a mother in this life.

Therefore, he felt that giving Hua Fei a Royal Consort could be considered as compensation to her.

"I also hope that Concubine Hua will give me a lovely prince... What a pity, perhaps our fate is not right. Nian Gengyao has made great contributions, and Concubine Hua has been with me for so many years. She deserves to be a royal concubine!"

The queen forced a smile.

"Your Majesty is right. But I'm afraid the concubines in the harem will not accept it."

If Hua Fei really became the Imperial Noble Consort, then she, the Queen, would be suppressed by Hua Fei in the future. How could the Queen tolerate this?

"Does my decision depend on the opinions of the women in the harem?" The emperor put down his chopsticks heavily and looked at the queen.

The queen was startled and said with a smile: "Of course they don't dare to do that. They just complained a few words. But as for the queen mother, I don't know how to deal with her."

"The Empress Dowager has also agreed, so the Queen doesn't have to worry." The Emperor wiped his mouth with the handkerchief on the table and stood up.

"It's settled. I'm going to go see Concubine Hua. I heard she was ill these past two days."

"Then I will respectfully see the emperor off." The queen forced a smile, stood up, knelt down and saluted, watching the emperor's back getting farther and farther away.

Concubine Hua was indeed ill. It was because she was caught in the snow and wind while waiting in Shoukang Palace that day.

After Wen Shichu came to check Hua Fei's pulse, he prescribed some medicine to dispel the cold and keep her warm, and told her to stay indoors as much as possible during this period and not to stay outdoors.

Concubine Hua wrote them down one by one.

Wen Shichu packed his medicine box and was about to leave when Concubine Hua called him.

“Is there a medicine that makes you feel like you’re dead after taking it?”

When Wen Shichu heard this, he was so scared that he dropped the medicine box to the ground.

He knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "My lady, please don't do anything stupid!"

Wen Shichu has also been frequently checking Zhen Huan's pulse recently.

Wen Shichu learned from Zhen Huan that Concubine Hua had always been taking care of her, so she became more and more open-minded towards Concubine Hua.

"Doctor Wen, please stand up quickly. If others see us, they will think that I am bullying a mere doctor like you."

Wen Shichu stood up upon hearing this, looked around, and after making sure that no one was around, he asked, "Madam, why are you asking about this?"

Concubine Hua knew that Wen Shichu was kind-hearted and would not harm anyone.

However, since this matter concerns future plans, she still cannot tell Wen Shichu.

"I'm just asking you, yes or no?"

Wen Shichu thought for a long time and nodded slowly.
