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

Chapter 92: I have been in the palace for more than ten years

When Concubine Hua talked about her offspring, her voice was choked with sobs.

The Queen Mother heard her sadness and felt mixed emotions.

"Alas, this is not your fault. Perhaps it is just your destiny that has not arrived yet. Didn't some concubines enter the palace five or six years before they had children?"

Hua Fei raised her head, with the corners of her eyes slightly red.

"Really? But, I have been in the palace for more than ten years, I should have had it long ago."

Seeing Concubine Hua's sad look, the Queen Mother felt as if a stone was blocking her heart. "Don't worry, take your time."

Take it slow? Concubine Hua sneered in her heart. The Huanyi incense in Yikun Palace was lit day and night, and she could no longer get pregnant.

"I have also let it go. Perhaps this is my fate." Concubine Hua forced herself to hold back her tears and said to the Queen Mother with a smile, "I cannot give birth to a child for the Emperor, but I can fulfill my filial duty on his behalf. I only hope that the Queen Mother will not despise me."

The Queen Mother said hurriedly: "How could I dislike you? I know your filial piety, and so does the Emperor."

When she heard the Queen Mother mention the Emperor, Concubine Hua smiled happily, "The Emperor brought me some top-quality Huan Yi incense a few days ago. I sleep soundly after smelling it. I will also send some to Shou Kang Palace tomorrow so that the Queen Mother can sleep peacefully."

When Zhu Xi heard this, her expression changed slightly, but it was only for a moment. She looked at the Queen Mother and found that her expression was also slightly choked.

"I have gotten used to falling asleep smelling Buddhist sandalwood over the years. Since this Huan Yi incense is good, you can keep it for yourself. After all, it is the emperor's special favor to you."

Hua Fei smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother also smiled, as if she was relieved.

"I am going to the Buddhist Scripture Hall now. Please go back and rest early, Concubine Hua."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Concubine Hua and the Queen Mother bowed respectfully before turning around and leaving Shoukang Palace.

It was not until Concubine Hua disappeared from her sight that the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and touched her chest and said, "Every time I hear Concubine Hua talk about offspring, I always feel upset."

When Concubine Hua had a miscarriage, the Empress Dowager secretly inquired about it. It was already a fully formed male fetus, the Empress Dowager's own grandson. It would have been impossible for her to not have any emotional fluctuations.

The Queen Mother even recited Buddhist scriptures for a month in the hope of saving the child.

Zhu Xi saw that the Queen Mother's face was pale, so he said, "If your Majesty does not want to see Concubine Hua, then don't ask her to come."

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Noble Lady Fucha stood beside the case, grinding ink for the emperor who was reviewing memorials.

The emperor was so absorbed in his review that he forgot for a moment that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant.

When he was done, he saw Noble Lady Fucha gently holding his waist. He looked down along the line of Noble Lady Fucha's hand, and when he saw his slightly bulging belly, he slapped his head.

"Look at my memory! Why did I let you stand and grind ink when you are pregnant?"

The emperor stood up, helped Noble Lady Fucha to sit on the couch, and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"

When Noble Lady Fucha saw that the emperor cared so much about her, all her suffering immediately disappeared.

"With your words, I no longer feel tired."

The emperor looked ashamed.

"Empress Hua has repeatedly told me to spend more time with you when I have time. I was so busy that I forgot."

"Did Concubine Hua say that?" Noble Lady Fucha was surprised.

The emperor frowned slightly when he saw that Noble Lady Fucha's reaction was a little strange.

"You don't believe it?"

"I dare not." Noble Lady Fucha quickly stood up and apologized to the emperor.

When the Emperor saw Noble Lady Fucha mention Concubine Hua, he reacted with some fear, his face darkened, "Do you know why I have been to your Yanxi Palace so frequently recently?"

Noble Lady Fucha lowered her eyes and looked at her slightly bulging belly.

The emperor said, "It was Concubine Hua who persuaded me to go. She said that I finally had a child again and asked me to take care of your feelings."

Noble Lady Fucha's eyes were full of doubt: "Concubine Hua, is that really what you said?"

The emperor showed anger on his face, "You don't believe what I said?"

"I didn't, I believe it." Noble Lady Fucha heard the anger in the emperor's tone and hurriedly apologized.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Noble Lady Fucha had many doubts in her mind. Why did Concubine Hua want to help her? But when she thought of Concubine Hua touching her belly and smiling, Noble Lady Fucha shuddered.

After returning to Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua sent away the irrelevant palace maids and eunuchs, leaving Songzhi alone in the bedroom. Songzhi handed the secret letter sent from the northwest to Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua covered her chest and opened the envelope.

In the letter, Nian Gengyao asked if his two sons were doing well in the palace. Concubine Hua read it again and again, at least three or four times, and confirmed that Nian Gengyao did not say anything rebellious, so she felt a little relieved.

"Songzhi, bring me some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."

"My queen, are you going to write to the general again? Don't worry, the general is invincible and will definitely return victorious!"

Songzhi was worried that Concubine Hua was missing Nian Gengyao, so she said a few words of comfort.

"I am not worried about whether my brother can win the battle, but I am worried about what will happen after he returns from the battle."

Songzhi wanted to say something else, but Concubine Hua had already started writing a letter.

"Give it to Su Peisheng. He has a wide network of contacts and knows many people. I feel at ease leaving the letter to her." After Hua Fei handed the letter to Song Zhi, she gave these instructions.

When Songzhi pretended to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get charcoal, she accidentally fell when passing by the Yangxin Palace. Su Peisheng happened to be nearby and quickly walked over to help her up.

"Oh, Aunt Songzhi, please be careful when you walk." Su Peisheng said as he secretly took the letter handed over by Songzhi.

"Thank you, Eunuch Su. I was anxious." Song Zhi stood firm and whispered to Su Peisheng, "This letter needs to be sent to the northwest. Please send the most trusted person to deliver it. The queen will reward you handsomely."

Su Peisheng replied softly: "Aunt Songzhi, please tell Concubine Hua that I will definitely get it done."

At night, in the study of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xia Qian presented a letter to the emperor, "This is a family letter from Concubine Hua to General Nian."

The emperor took the letter from Xia Qie, opened the envelope and read it carefully.

"Brother, the emperor treats me very well, and treats Nian Fu and Nian Bin very well too. Don't worry, just fight well on the front line. We will wait for your safe return..."

The whole letter was about the emperor's favor to her and her gratitude for the royal gift, so that Nian Gengyao could rest assured. The emperor put the letter back into the envelope, his face relaxed and he was in a good mood.

"Send the letter to the post station, and ride a horse as fast as possible for 800 miles to deliver it to Nian Gengyao! Don't let Hua Fei's kindness go to waste."

"Yes."

After Xia Qian left, the emperor thought of the good things Concubine Hua said about him in her letter, and decided to have dinner in the Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty, he hasn't been to the harem for half a month. He came to our Yikun Palace right away. I think he must have missed you. So should we prepare a rich dinner tonight?"

Hua Fei glanced at the ginger chicken soup, the golden and silver duck hot pot, and the green bamboo shoots and dried meat embryos on the table. "That's enough. Didn't we say that we should be frugal in the evening?"
