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

Chapter 154: I am your sister-in-law

"My lady, help this servant!"

Songzhi's cry for help immediately attracted Concubine Hua's attention.

She walked quickly to the lake, stretched out her hand, and pulled Songzhi ashore.

"You are afraid of water too, and you even encouraged me to go boating!" Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi with a reproachful look, but she was not really angry.

"I saw that Your Majesty wanted to draw, so I risked my life to accompany Your Majesty." Songzhi said aggrievedly.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Hua Fei naturally wouldn't really blame Song Zhi.

She just didn't want to face Prince Guo, so she deliberately said so much to Songzhi.

But no matter what, Prince Guo is still a prince after all, so I have to tell him something before I leave.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Concubine Hua bowed to Prince Guo and turned to leave.

Prince Guo then said, "If your majesty likes boating, we can go together tomorrow night."

Concubine Hua looked up with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things. I am your sister-in-law."

Prince Guo was startled, and hurriedly bowed to explain, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Tomorrow night, I will host a lantern viewing program on the river, and Your Majesty must come then."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua also apologized, "I was rude. If I am free tomorrow night, I will definitely come."

After saying this, Concubine Hua turned around resolutely.

The way Prince Guo looked at him became more and more strange.

After returning to her room, Concubine Hua took a hot bath, drank some iced soup, and then planned to rest.

Songzhi asked: "Madam, are you going to bed so early? What if the emperor comes to see you..."

Hua Fei smiled, "If it weren't for this eventuality, the Emperor wouldn't come to this palace during this period of time."

Songzhi asked why.

Recently, she always felt that her master seemed to know everything and had become particularly open-minded and broad-minded.

Even the grace that I once cared about the most, I no longer care about it.

Concubine Hua only said that Zhen Huan and the Emperor were just getting married after a short separation, so she would not have time to come.

The same is true.

Since Zhen Huan regained favor, the Emperor has indeed visited Concubine Hua less often.

However, apart from Zhen Huan, no one can match Concubine Hua's favor.

The next day, after breakfast, Concubine Hua went to see the Fourth Prince.

It was a very hot day. When Concubine Hua saw the Fourth Prince standing under the scorching sun to recite his lessons, she felt so distressed that she asked Song Zhi to bring him an umbrella and some chilled watermelon.

"Hongli, even if you want to study hard, you still have to cherish your life! In such a scorching sun, why don't you take care of your body?"

The Fourth Prince looked at Concubine Hua's angry face because she was worried about him, and said with a smile: "Mother, I just want to practice horse stance while reading. This way, I can exercise my body and memorize the book at the same time."

Concubine Hua lowered her eyes and saw that the Fourth Prince was indeed doing horse stance.

Concubine Hua was both angry and amused.

"Mother is happy that you work so hard, but I am also sad that you treat yourself like this!"

As she said this, she insisted that the Fourth Prince sit down in a cool place to rest, and she personally brought him a bowl of chilled watermelon.

After eating a piece of iced watermelon, the Fourth Prince felt much better.

"Your Majesty, isn't that the Fourth Prince and Concubine Hua?"

After the Emperor finished reviewing the memorials, he walked around with the Empress Dowager and saw Concubine Hua wiping the sweat off the Fourth Prince with a towel.

"I never thought that Concubine Hua would be so attentive to the Fourth Prince." The Queen Mother sighed.

The emperor saw Concubine Hua looking at the Fourth Prince with eyes full of concern, and a thought emerged in his mind: if Concubine Hua also had her own children, it would probably be the same.

"After all, she is the Fourth Prince's mother," said the emperor.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and found that something was wrong with his expression. She guessed that he was probably thinking about the past events again.

After accompanying the Empress Dowager for a while, the Emperor felt a little upset and planned to go back to his study to read.

In the evening, Prince Guo came to the study and discussed with the emperor some specific details of boating on the lake.

The emperor listened absent-mindedly and told Prince Guo to handle it.

After the sun set, two large boats were parked in the lake.

The emperor, empress, queen mother, princes, and princes were all on the same ship.

The other concubines, princes and princesses were on the same boat.

As the initiator of this program, Prince Guo naturally sat on the same boat with the emperor and introduced the details of the event in detail.

There are riddles hidden in the lanterns floating in the lake. Whoever guesses correctly will be rewarded, and whoever fails to guess correctly will be fined to drink.

Everyone found it interesting and joined in.

Because of Prince Guo, Concubine Hua deliberately did not participate. She just leaned lazily on the railing and looked up at the starry sky.

"My lady, don't you like fireflies the most? I'll catch a few for you!"

When she was young in Anhui, every summer, Concubine Hua would ask Songzhi to go to the farm to catch fireflies.

The Old Summer Palace has lush vegetation, of course.

You can also see a lot of them when the boat is sailing in the middle of the lake.

Songzhi found a transparent glass bottle and put all the caught fireflies into it.

Hua Fei felt that it was about time, so she held the bottle and watched the fireflies.

"Songzhi, do you feel that I am like a firefly in a bottle?"

"Your Highness, are you kidding me? You are the Imperial Concubine. How can a little firefly compare to you?"

"We are all trapped in a beautiful and clean place, aren't we?" Hua Fei said, looking at the flashing fireflies.

In her previous life, she entered the palace at the order of the late Emperor Kangxi. For the glory of the Nian family, she married Yongzheng, who was still a prince at the time.

Later, she fell in love with Yongzheng. For Yongzheng, she used all means, including taking human lives.

In the end, her madness for love was just a joke.

In recent days, Concubine Hua has been thinking that in her previous life, she never lived for herself for a single day.

In this life, can I just live for myself?

After she has settled the Nian family and taken all the revenge, can she...

Hua Fei, who was in deep thought, was suddenly attracted by the sound of a flute.

She looked over and saw Prince Guo standing at the opposite bow of the boat, playing the flute.

And Zhen Huan responded by playing the piano.

Hua Fei looked at the couple opposite her, and she thought of the way Prince Guo looked at her...

I hope she's just overthinking it.

In her next life, Concubine Hua has decided not to love anyone.

Thinking of this, she looked at Prince Guo.

Prince Guo is indeed handsome, well-mannered, tall and straight, and talented. No wonder so many women admire him.

Although he is not an emperor who is second only to the emperor himself, his status as a prince alone is enough to make thousands of girls rush to him.

Hua Fei was tired of worrying about a man.

She was about to turn her gaze away from Prince Guo, but she found that Prince Guo's deep eyes had been looking straight at her through the dim light.
