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

Chapter 48: Scolding the Queen for Being Old and Faded

Hua Fei sniffed softly, "No best."

Leaning in the emperor's arms, the expression on her face gradually became cruel.

After seeing the emperor off, Concubine Hua remembered that Noble Lady Fucha was favored, so she called Songzhi and picked out one or two presentable headdresses from the storeroom to send to Yanxi Palace.

Songzhi started mumbling again.

"My queen, you don't even accept money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You give it to whoever is favored. One day, all the good things in the storehouse will be given away by you."

Concubine Hua, however, looked indifferent.

"You can't bring these things with you when you're born, and you can't take them with you when you die. Keeping them will just take up space. It's better to put them to good use."

Songzhi was speechless and did not dare to refute.

Recently, she is finding it increasingly difficult to understand and comprehend her own queen's state of mind.

After receiving the reward from Concubine Hua, Noble Lady Fucha naturally expressed her gratitude in front of Songzhi.

After Songzhi left, she threw it to the palace maid with disdain.

"Humph, this Concubine Hua is really rich. Without relying on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she can still come up with such a beautiful headdress. She can live a good life by saving money, but it's hard for the rest of us."

Noblewoman Fucha's complaints against Concubine Hua immediately reached Concubine Hua's ears.

Concubine Hua has been able to run rampant in the harem for many years, and she must have many spies of her own in the harem.

"Your Majesty, Noble Lady Fucha says one thing to your face and another behind your back. She's really abominable." Songzhi was indignant for Concubine Hua.

But Concubine Hua was not angry at all.

Fu Cha Guiren thought that she could do whatever she wanted after joining the Queen, but in fact, she was just stupid. In this world, even the person next to you is unreliable, let alone a Queen who has a conflict of interest with her.

"It doesn't matter. She will reap the consequences of her own actions soon." Concubine Hua smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was so calm, Songzhi said nothing more.

"I heard that An Lingrong has been having a hard time lately. You can take a hundred taels of silver to Mingse Residence." Hua Fei thought that given An Lingrong's family background, she must be having a very hard time as the harem was cutting expenses, so she asked Songzhi to give her the silver.

Songzhi was not happy.

"Forget about Noble Lady Fucha. After all, she is a Manchu noble. As for An Lingrong, she is just a promise, even worse than a servant. Why should Your Majesty help her?"

"Are you going or not?" asked Concubine Hua.

Songzhi said reluctantly: "I will go."

Songzhi came to Mingseju in a bad mood.

"Our queen said that seeing that An Ying was poor and had to do needlework to supplement her expenses, she specially sent a hundred taels of silver. I hope An Ying will accept it."

As An Lingrong listened to Song Zhi's words, her expression became more and more ugly, and she even forgot how to reply for a moment.

Baojuan gently tugged at the corner of An Lingrong's clothes, and An Lingrong came back to her senses.

"Thank you, Empress Hua."

Baojuan went forward to take the silver, but Songzhi threw it directly in front of An Da Ying in a bad mood, "Pick it up yourself!"

Baojuan was about to question angrily, but was stopped by An Lingrong.

After Songzhi left, An Lingrong looked at the silver on the ground and her eyes darkened.

"My lady, this Concubine Hua is going too far!"

An Lingrong said nothing, but just tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, "Pick it up, after all, it is a token of Concubine Hua's love."

Baojuan muttered, "This is not a kind gesture at all, it's simply a naked insult to you, young lady!"

An Lingrong turned around and said unhappily, "Just pick it up if I tell you to!"

Baojuan said "Oh" aggrievedly, "Yes, young lady."

Concubine Hua, who was sitting in Yikun Palace preparing dinner for the emperor, had no idea what was happening in Mingse Residence.

When he saw Songzhi coming back and respectfully reporting that the silver had been personally delivered to An Lingrong, he no longer suspected anything.

.......

The scorching heat of autumn brought back the queen's headache.

So for several days in a row, the concubines did not have to pay their respects.

That day, after the emperor's headache was cured, everyone went to Jingren Palace early in the morning.

Concubine Hua arrived first, followed by An Lingrong.

As the two sat together, Concubine Hua recalled what happened some days ago when she asked Songzhi to deliver some silver to An Lingrong.

"An Lingrong, is the silver I gave you a few days ago enough for you to use?" Concubine Hua looked at An Lingrong, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with sincerity.

An Lingrong smiled unnaturally, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Hua Fei. It's enough."

Hua Fei smiled and said, "If it's not enough, I'll send it to you another day."

An Lingrong's expression changed slightly, and her whole body became more tense.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Hua Fei. I don't have much to spend on a daily basis, so I don't need so much money."

Seeing that An Lingrong was nervous and still on guard against her, Concubine Hua stopped forcing her.

As soon as the Queen walked in, she saw Concubine Hua sitting in the first seat and said with a smile, "Recently, Concubine Hua has been able to get up and pay her respects to me frequently."

He really never forgets Yin Yang Hua Fei.

The corners of Hua Fei's lips curled up slightly, "I was ignorant before, but the Queen still remembers it. Don't worry, unless you are unwell in the future, even if it is windy and sharp, I will come to pay my respects to you."

The smile on the Queen's face froze slightly, "It's rare that Concubine Hua has such a thoughtful heart."

Hua Fei said: "The Queen is the master of the six palaces. It is my duty to pay my respects to the Queen."

The Queen smiled, glanced at the concubines present, and finally set her eyes on Zhen Huan.

In just half a year, Zhen Huan has grown up and looks more and more like the late Queen Chun Yuan.

"Is the noble lady Wan feeling better?"

Zhen Huan stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, I am much better now."

Concubine Qi gave Zhen Huan a sour look and said, "This Concubine Wan is so lucky. Even though she was ill, the Emperor was not afraid of catching her illness and would visit her whenever he had time. He has been going to Sui Yu Xuan more and more frequently recently. Alas, we are not like those old and ugly people, and even the Emperor doesn't even look at us!"

Zhen Huan listened to Concubine Qi's words and smiled awkwardly, "Concubine Qi is praising me. The emperor just felt sorry for me because I was sick. How can it compare to the affection between Concubine Qi and the emperor for many years?"

Shen Meizhuang couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan being targeted, so she continued, "Concubine Qi is still charming and has become more and more elegant. How could she be old and ugly? Besides, you have a Third Prince, which is a blessing that Wan Guiren and I can't even envy!"

Hua Fei was very upset that Qi Fei always bullied the newcomers, and she also bullied Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang at the same time. These two people were the allies she wanted to win over, and she would not let Qi Fei bully them.

"Concubine Qi, what you just said is not right. When you said that we are old and ugly, weren't you referring to the group of people who followed the emperor in the early years? The queen followed the emperor the earliest, so are you scolding the queen for being old and ugly?"

As soon as Concubine Hua finished speaking, Concubine Qi's face changed drastically, and she looked at the Queen in panic, "That's not what I meant!"
