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

Chapter 19: You will have this day too

"I'm not sad." Hua Fei closed the book and looked at the spring scenery outside the courtyard. "The spring scenery is still beautiful. Come with me to appreciate the flowers."

Songzhi thought that since Zhen Huan was favored, Concubine Hua must be in a bad mood, so she asked Zhou Ninghai and others to accompany Concubine Hua to take a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Along the way, Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai kept complimenting Concubine Hua. One said that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were not as beautiful as those in the Yikun Palace; the next, they said that the emperor's favor towards Concubine Hua was unmatched by anyone else.

As Concubine Hua listened, she realized that what they said was getting more and more outrageous, so she quickly spoke up and scolded them.

"The Imperial Garden was built by a group of skilled craftsmen from the royal family. How can the Yikun Palace compare? Besides, the emperor often relaxes here on weekdays. You said that the Yikun Palace is several times more beautiful than the Imperial Garden. Are you going to put me on the grill?"

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai quickly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

Hua Fei felt that she still had to teach them a lesson, otherwise if she caused any trouble from their mouths in the future, she would regret it.

"No matter who the emperor favors, it is the emperor's gift, and we should be grateful. Even if one day I no longer receive the emperor's favor, you are not allowed to talk too much. If something inappropriate is passed on to someone with ulterior motives, we can only wait for death."

Concubine Hua spoke harshly and tried to persuade him in both ways.

It was rare for Songzhi to see Concubine Hua so serious and earnest, and she took her words to heart.

As they walked, they saw several eunuchs carrying red, green, and yellow chrysanthemums. Songzhi said happily, "I have never seen green chrysanthemums before. They are so beautiful."

Seeing the eunuchs walking towards her, Songzhi turned around and said to Concubine Hua, "Your Majesty, they must be sending us to the Yikun Palace."

Songzhi was about to wave to the eunuchs who were carrying Chrysanthemum to come over, but Concubine Hua immediately stopped her.

"It's not for me."

Songzhi smiled and said, "How is that possible? In the past, if there were any beautiful flowers, the first person the emperor thought of was you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Songzhi didn't believe it, Concubine Hua pointed at the leading eunuch and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask him where this message was sent to."

Songzhi hurried over and stopped the leading eunuch, "Stop, where are these chrysanthemums being sent to?"

The young eunuch saw that it was Consort Hua standing behind Songzhi, and hurriedly replied, "Madam Consort Hua, this is to be sent to Cunju Hall."

"Get out!" Songzhi heard it and waved her hand to let the eunuch go.

She smiled awkwardly and walked to Concubine Hua. "Fortunately, the Majesty asked me to ask, and I know that these chrysanthemums were sent to the Chrysanthemum Hall."

Concubine Hua said with a sullen face: "If I hadn't stopped you, it would be those eunuchs who would be laughing at me now."

Songzhi slapped her mouth with her hand, "It's my fault for talking so much! It's my fault for talking so much..."

Hua Fei held her hand and said, "Why did you hit yourself for no reason? Be more careful with your words and actions in the future, and don't be so reckless."

Songzhi was used to Concubine Hua beating or scolding her, but now she saw that Concubine Hua didn't beat or scold her, and even spoke to her in a gentle voice. She was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Your Highness, I will never make such a stupid mistake again." Thinking that Juhua was going to Cunju Hall, she said worriedly, "Noble Lady Shen has been favored by the Emperor, and Concubine Wan has been favored by the Emperor. Your Highness, I feel sorry for you."

Hua Fei, however, was open-minded. "No flower lasts forever. His Majesty's mind is hard to predict. Today it is a favor, but tomorrow it may be another. When I was the most outstanding person in the six palaces, I never thought that a newcomer would take away my favor. But now, haven't you seen that the emperor favors Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen?"

Zhou Ninghai gritted his teeth and said, "My Lady, whatever you want me to do, I will go through fire and water!"

Concubine Hua gave Zhou Ninghai a dagger in the eye.

"Remember, don't do anything, and don't talk nonsense outside. Just do your job quietly."

Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

There was something wrong with Concubine Hua. She had been asking them to keep a low profile in recent days and to be patient as much as possible. This was not the Concubine Hua who would take revenge and scold or beat people if she didn't like them.

"Since Concubine Shen likes chrysanthemums, I happen to have an ink painting here, which is a painting of chrysanthemums." Concubine Hua looked at Zhou Ninghai, "Go and get it, and personally deliver it to Cunju Hall to congratulate Concubine Shen in a nice voice."

Zhou Ninghai exclaimed, "Ah!" He could not believe that this was a decision made by the jealous Concubine Hua. But after all, he followed Concubine Hua, so Zhou Ninghai obeyed and did as she said.

Shen Meizhuang was very happy looking at the colorful chrysanthemums all over the yard. The gifts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs continued one after another, and the palace maids were overwhelmed. Whether it was sent by the emperor or the queen, Shen Meizhuang was not surprised.

But when she saw Zhou Ninghai smiling and handing her the ink painting worth a thousand gold, she was shocked.

Everyone in the palace knew how fierce Concubine Hua was.

Although Shen Meizhuang saw Concubine Hua let Xia Dongchun go that day, Xia Dongchun was beaten to death. It was said outside that it was the emperor's order, but it was also possible to say that Concubine Hua instigated the emperor to do so.

"Empress Hua said that she congratulated Concubine Shen on getting the name of Yaju, and she specially sent a painting in ink, hoping that Concubine Shen would accept it."

Shen Meizhuang stepped forward with a smile, "Thank you, Empress Hua, for your gift."

Zhou Ninghai remembered Concubine Hua's instructions and replied with a smile: "Then congratulations to Concubine Shen."

After Zhou Ninghai walked away, Zhen Huan just happened to arrive.

"Huan'er, this Concubine Hua actually gave me a gift. I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."

Zhen Huan actually has the same mentality as Shen Meizhuang. After all, if someone says that Concubine Hua is domineering and fierce, they may not believe it. However, if people in the six palaces say that Concubine Hua is domineering and fierce, they have to believe it to a certain extent.

"Sister Mei, I understand your feelings. No matter what, Concubine Hua is still polite to us. We can only treat her with courtesy."

Shen Meizhuang frowned, and said helplessly: "It can only be done this way."

"What are the two sisters whispering about, avoiding Lingrong." An Lingrong walked over with Baojuan.

Just now, An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu whispering to each other from a distance. She raised her hand to greet them, but they seemed not to see her.

Baojuan pouted and complained softly.

"Now that Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen have gained favor, they seem to have become estranged from the young lady."

An Lingrong's face was very ugly at that time. She rolled her eyes at Baojuan and said, "The two sisters just can't see me."

Shen Meizhuang saw An Lingrong was in a daze, "Rong'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed?"

An Lingrong came back to her senses and smiled, "It's nothing, I just envy my two elder sisters for having the emperor's favor."

Seeing An Lingrong's desolate eyes, Zhen Huan quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, this day will come to you too."
