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

Chapter 63: What if the Fourth Prince doesn’t come?

Concubine Hua lowered her head slightly and listened to the Queen Mother's teachings with lowered brows.

When she heard the empress dowager say that she hoped to give birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor as soon as possible, the light in her eyes instantly went out.

She looked up at the Queen Mother and just stared at her quietly.

The Queen Mother was thinking about how to appease Concubine Hua, but she didn't notice Concubine Hua's eyes. But when her eyes met Concubine Hua's, she felt something was wrong.

The Queen Mother was about to take a closer look when Hua Fei's eyes began to smile again, but this smile was a little heavy.

"I am not worthy of your kindness. I have been favored by your majesty for many years, but I have never given birth to a healthy child. It is because of my incompetence and my guilt."

Listening to Concubine Hua's repeated apologies, the Queen Mother felt a little uncomfortable.

She and the emperor both knew that Concubine Hua was infertile, and they were the main culprits. If there was any guilt, it was actually the Queen Mother and the Emperor, one killed her grandson with her own hands, and the other killed her own son with her own hands.

The Queen Mother covered her chest with her hands, looking unhappy.

"This is not your fault, Concubine Hua. Perhaps this is fate. I and the Emperor have never blamed you for this. Don't take it to heart."

Concubine Hua nodded, her beautiful phoenix eyes were already filled with tears.

The Queen Mother couldn't bear to see Concubine Hua sad, so she turned her head away and changed the subject, "I am a little tired, please kneel down and greet me."

Hua Fei respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Take care, Queen Mother. I will take my leave."

The Queen Mother nodded and waved her away.

Only when she saw Concubine Hua disappear from her sight did the Queen Mother let out a long breath.

"Zhu Xi, do you think that Ai Jia and the Emperor were too cruel to Concubine Hua?"

Zhu Xi saw that the Queen Mother looked a little sad, and sighed, "Being in the royal family, there are too many things that cannot be done. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are not doing this for their own desires, but for the country and society of the entire Qing Dynasty!"

The slight sense of guilt that had just risen in the Queen Mother's heart slowly faded away.

"Yes, for the sake of the Aixinjueluo kingdom, I and the emperor have no choice but to do this."

When the last foot finally stepped out of Shoukang Palace, Concubine Hua's body swayed slightly, and Songzhi hurried to support her.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Fei waved her hands and stood firm. "It's nothing. I just feel a little sad."

When Hua Fei thought of the cruelty the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had shown to her, she still felt a little sad.

But, it was only for a moment.

When she saw the guilt in the Queen Mother's eyes and saw that she was restless, Concubine Hua felt the pleasure of revenge.

Killing people is just a way out, but destroying their hearts is the most maddening and tormenting.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, in the future Shilan will make you taste this heart-breaking pain over and over again.

"Your Majesty, I will ask Imperial Physician Wen to come to Yikun Palace." Songzhi thought that Concubine Hua was not feeling well.

"No need, I just need to relax for a while." Concubine Hua rubbed her chest and sat on the sedan chair.

Thinking about the aborted child in her previous life, Concubine Hua still felt depressed, so she decided to take a walk in the Imperial Garden.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Concubine Hua removed the sedan chair and took Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

As luck would have it, enemies meet on a narrow road, and they saw Concubine Qi urging the Third Prince to study in the pavilion.

"There are only a few words in total, how come you can't remember them? Your father will examine your homework in a few days, what are you going to do?" Concubine Qi was extremely anxious.

The third prince scratched his head.

"Mother, my son has been working very hard to memorize his lessons."

"Then why can't you remember it?"

"My son...my son is stupid."

"You?!" Concubine Qi almost exploded with anger. Before, she always heard Concubine Hua say how stupid her son was, and Concubine Qi would definitely fight back.

Now seeing that her son could not memorize just a few sentences, Concubine Qi was a little crazy.

"You said the room was stuffy and you were prone to sleepiness, so I took you to the Imperial Garden. The air in the Imperial Garden is the best, and your mind is clear enough, so why can't you remember?!"

Seeing that Concubine Qi was so angry that her face turned blue, the Third Prince lowered his head, pursed his lips, and dared not say another word.

The place where Concubine Hua and Songzhi were was blocked by dense vegetation, and it was difficult to see them from Concubine Qi's perspective.

Songzhi teased, "Look, madam, this Third Prince is really a fool."

Concubine Hua also laughed, but she also warned Songzhi to be careful with her words and not break the rules.

Song Zhifu agreed.

"Let's go. Seeing them, I no longer feel like taking a walk."

"Your Majesty, they are them, and you are you. Once you show up, Concubine Qi might be so scared that she would ask you to pay your respects."

"Forget it." Concubine Hua waved her hand and looked towards the direction of Yuanmingyuan. "Send someone to bring the Fourth Prince back."

Songzhi's face changed, "My queen, why are you going to bring the Fourth Prince back? I heard that the Emperor doesn't like the Fourth Prince."

Concubine Hua has a plan in mind.

"Which father in the world would hate his own son? Besides, when the Immortal Emperor was alive, he always praised Hongli for being smart and courageous, saying that he was very much like him."

After hearing Concubine Hua's analysis, Songzhi also felt that it would be a good idea to bring the Fourth Prince back.

.......

Two days later, Yuanmingyuan.

The fourth prince Hongli was standing by the lake, reciting his lessons while shaking his head.

A eunuch hurried over to greet him.

"Hello, Fourth Prince!"

The Fourth Prince looked at the eunuch and asked in a still childish accent, "I have never seen you before. Who are you?"

The eunuch was shocked. The Fourth Prince had such a good memory that he could remember the appearance of all the eunuchs in the Old Summer Palace.

"In reply to Fourth Prince, I am from the palace."

When he heard that the person came from the palace, the Fourth Prince was delighted.

"Does that mean that the emperor is going to take me back?"

The eunuch looked embarrassed and shook his head.

The Fourth Prince hung his head in frustration, "Then what are you doing here?"

The eunuch bowed and replied, "Bring the Fourth Prince into the palace."

The Fourth Prince frowned in confusion, "Since the Emperor didn't want to see me, why did he take me into the palace?"

The eunuch hesitated, "You will know once the Fourth Prince enters the palace. Concubine Hua said that she has a way to get you to see the Emperor."

The Fourth Prince tilted his head and weighed the pros and cons for a long time.

"Okay, since Concubine Hua has said so, I will go to the palace with you."

As it was getting close to evening, the time for the city gates to be locked was getting closer, but the Fourth Prince had not yet arrived, and Songzhi became a little worried.

"My Lady, what if the Fourth Prince doesn't come?"

Hua Fei said confidently: "The Fourth Prince will definitely come."

Songzhi was surprised, "Why is your Majesty so sure?"

After Concubine Hua died in her previous life, her soul was too full of resentment and could not be reincarnated. She then saw that the least valued Fourth Prince, Hongli, became the emperor.

Being able to go from being an unpopular prince to making Yongzheng take notice of him and even pass the throne to him, Concubine Hua believed that the Fourth Prince would not miss such a rare opportunity to meet the Emperor.

Hua Fei sat up straight and said meaningfully, "Because he is the Fourth Prince."
