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

Chapter 28: That Zhen Huan is quite to your liking

After Doctor Wen left, Concubine Duan's personal maid Jixiang said, "My lady, what exactly is Concubine Hua's intention?"

Concubine Duan was also at a loss, "I don't know what she is up to. Let's wait and see."

Over the years, she was used to being oppressed and abused by Concubine Hua. Today, she was suddenly told that her health was really getting better with the help of Concubine Hua. Concubine Duan was not used to it and felt uncomfortable. Most of the time, she didn't believe it.

Concubine Duan didn't believe that Concubine Hua would be so kind.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wen and Concubine Duan have explained the truth." Zhou Ninghai informed Concubine Hua of what happened in Yanqing Palace.

Hua Fei half leaned back in her seat and hummed a low "hmm". She thought that since Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan were old friends, it would not be long before Zhen Huan would hear about what happened in Yanqing Palace.

In the Yangxin Palace, Xia Jian brought a secret letter from the northwest.

After reading the secret letter, the emperor crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the desk.

"Lobsang Danjin does have rebellious intentions."

Xia Qian lowered his head and said, "Nian Gengyao has not made any unusual moves in the northwest for the time being. He has only exchanged letters with Concubine Hua once recently."

The emperor held the letter in his hand and murmured, "I should go see Concubine Hua."

Before visiting Concubine Hua, the emperor went to Shoukang Palace as usual.

"Empress Dowager, it seems that a war in the northwest is inevitable." The emperor sat beside the empress dowager and sighed, twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "When the late Emperor was still alive, he was quite optimistic about Nian Gengyao's ability. The Emperor is currently in need of someone, so he can't care so much. Recently, when you have time, go visit Concubine Hua more often to appease Nian Gengyao's heart."

The emperor nodded.

As if she had thought of something, the Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, "I heard that Zhen Huan is quite to your liking?"

Whenever the emperor mentioned Zhen Huan, he would think of the late Chun Yuan, and he couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay. This Zhen Huan is quite talented and considerate. She naively calls her son her husband, and her romantic and innocent look..." It really resembles the way Chun Yuan looked when she first entered the palace.

The emperor did not say anything else.

The Queen Mother sipped her tea, a sneer on her lips, and said nothing.

They kept silent, knowing full well.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, the emperor went straight to Yikun Palace.

Concubine Hua smoked the Huan Yi incense every day and felt dizzy and swollen, so she asked the eunuchs to build a swing in the yard so that she could sit there and read.

The emperor came in a hurry and did not let Su Peisheng inform anyone.

When Zhou Ninghai saw the emperor's shining dragon robe, he had no time to tell Concubine Hua, so he could only raise his voice while kneeling on the ground to pay his respects.

"Long live the emperor!"

Concubine Hua heard the noise and hurried out.

She was holding a book in her hand and looked quite anxious. When she really saw that it was the emperor, she smiled, her eyes full of anticipation.

"May your Majesty be blessed!"

She bowed respectfully.

The emperor thought that he would be able to use Nian Gengyao soon, so he strode forward and helped her up with both hands: "Don't be so polite! You have never been so polite to me before!"

The emperor smiled and gently patted Hua Fei's hand, his eyes full of doting.

Concubine Hua also looked shy when she looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty is my concubine's heaven. Of course, I have to look up to Your Majesty every day to survive."

The emperor was very pleased to hear this.

Of course, he hopes that everyone in the world will look up to him and respect him, because he is the true dragon emperor!

The emperor was surprised to see Hua Fei still holding Zuo Zhuan. Before, he just thought that Hua Fei was just a flash in the pan. She would definitely throw the book aside after reading it for two or three days.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, Concubine Hua was still reading "Zuo Zhuan".

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with more appreciation in his eyes.

"I see you holding this book every day. Come, tell me which story in it is your favorite?"

Hua Fei closed the book and smiled slightly, "Zhu Zhiwu Retreats the Qin Army."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tell me why you like this article."

Hua Fei smiled, her eyes full of beauty: "Qin and Jin are strong countries, Zheng is a weak country. If a war is launched, Zheng will surely lose. However, Zhu Zhiwu, with his own strength, relying on his insight into the current situation and his extraordinary eloquence, finally saved Zheng from destruction. It can be said that he won by his wisdom. I admire him."

The emperor nodded slightly after hearing this.

“When two armies fight, the side with more soldiers and horses will not necessarily win. Conversely, the side with less soldiers and horses will not necessarily lose.”

Hua Fei bowed and said with eyes full of admiration: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Entering the hall, the emperor and Concubine Hua sat opposite each other.

Thinking that Nian Gengyao would soon become a general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, the emperor was worried that he would become independent and collude with Concubine Hua to launch a coup, so the emperor planned to test Concubine Hua with words.

"Something happened in the northwest." The emperor pretended to be sad, but his eyes were always observing the expression on Concubine Hua's face.

Concubine Hua asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what happened in the northwest? Is there a snowstorm?"

Seeing that Concubine Hua was completely unaware of the military situation in the northwest, the emperor felt a little relieved, but he still did not stop testing Concubine Hua.

"You have been communicating with your brother, so how could you not know?"

Hua Fei shook her head blankly: "I am just a blockhead, I am not good at literature but I am not good at martial arts. How could my brother tell me these things?"

When the emperor saw that Concubine Hua really had no idea, he finally felt a little relieved.

"I intend to appoint your brother as General Fuyuan and have him attack Qinghai. What do you think?"

When Concubine Hua heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground with a look of fear on her face.

"Your Majesty, my brother is not fit for the job. Please accept my orders."

The emperor was very satisfied when he saw Hua Fei's fearful look. If Hua Fei showed any joy, the emperor would be very angry and think that Hua Fei was as unforgivable as her brother.

"How can a sister say this about her brother?" The emperor deliberately scolded Hua Fei, "When the late emperor was still alive, your brother was highly appreciated by the late emperor. I think the person the late emperor chose must be good."

Hua Fei was still kneeling, "Your Majesty, my brother must have used his cleverness to deceive the late emperor. In fact, my brother does not have much talent."

Concubine Hua deliberately described Nian Gengyao as worthless in the hope that the emperor would not let him go to quell the Qinghai Rebellion.

"You're getting more and more outrageous! If your brother Nian Gengyao didn't have real talent, why would the late emperor use him? How could I be sitting on this dragon throne?" The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with a smile. He wanted to see how Concubine Hua would answer.

Hua Fei still knelt down to answer.

"Brother, you're just lucky. The Qing army is strong and powerful. Even without my brother leading the army, they can be invincible with another general. The emperor was already highly appreciated by the late emperor. Brother is just lucky to be chosen by the emperor to become his subject."
