On the way back to Yiku Palace, Concubine Hua was in a good mood sitting in the sedan chair.

When Songzhi saw Concubine Hua smiling, she also smiled.

Hua Fei saw it, looked at Song Zhi with a reproachful look and asked, "Why are you laughing so foolishly?"

Songzhi smiled and said, "I am even happier to see that Your Majesty is happy."

Hua Fei waved her handkerchief and said, "Go away, you are always talking glibly. Go back and grab a handful of golden melon seeds from the store."

Songzhi nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it is a reward from the maidservant, Madam."

Zhou Ninghai also poked his head over. When Concubine Hua saw him, she smiled helplessly: "You have one too, Zhou Ninghai."

Zhou Ninghai immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Thank you, Madam, for your grace."

They laughed and talked all the way and soon returned to Yikun Palace.

As soon as Concubine Hua got off the sedan chair, Xiao Xia Zi led a group of people to announce the decree.

Hearing that it was the emperor's edict, Concubine Hua led the people in the Yikun Palace to kneel down and receive the order.

After Xiao Xiazi finished reading, Concubine Hua was stunned for a few breaths, then she looked at Songzhi happily and said, "Songzhi, the emperor has made me a noble concubine."

Songzhi congratulated with joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a great blessing."

Songzhi stepped forward and helped Concubine Hua up. Everyone knelt down to congratulate Nian Shilan: "This servant/servant congratulates Concubine Hua. May your majesty be well."

Concubine Hua Nian Shilan waved her hand and said, "Reward, a month's allowance for each of you."

Everyone thanked her again: "This servant/slave would like to thank Her Majesty Hua Guifei for her kindness and reward."

Xiao Xiazi held the heavy purse in her hand, and after congratulating her, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, these are all gifts from the Emperor. Please have a look."

A team of about 20 people, each carrying a large tray,

Among these rewards, in addition to Shu brocade and jewelry, there were also two hundred gold bars and two boxes of gold melon seeds.

It seems that the emperor also knew that after ransacking Nian Gengyao's house, Concubine Hua was extravagant and spent a lot of money, so he wanted to reward the concubine with some practical things.

The emperor openly subsidized Concubine Hua, which made Concubine Hua even happier.

When Cao Qinmo heard the news, she came over to congratulate, and Concubine Hua also accepted the congratulations with a smile.

Nian Shilan's conferring ceremony for the royal concubine will be held in two months. Songzhi hopes that the queen will stir up trouble then so that she can take the opportunity to dethrone the queen.

However, it is unlikely that the Queen will cause trouble. Now that she has suffered a severe blow, she should be well-behaved for a few days.

But that's not necessarily the case. It's possible that the queen is taking a risky move.

Songzhi could only prepare various countermeasures in advance to prevent the Queen from harming the Empress.

The affair of Queen Chunyuan should have been exposed long ago, but once the queen was imprisoned, Concubine Hua would become the dominant force.

The emperor loves to play the balancing game, and who knows what he might do by then.

When the emperor came to the Yiku Palace for dinner, Concubine Hua was extremely happy and the emperor enjoyed her hospitality very much.

Now no one in the palace can compete with Concubine Hua. Even the Queen has handed over the power of the palace on the grounds of having a headache.

But after hearing what Songzhi said, Concubine Hua did not accept the palace power released by the Queen, but just said that she was not feeling well and needed to rest.

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard what Concubine Hua said, but then he felt relieved.

The emperor thought to himself: It is enough for Shilan to have my favor.

Time passed quickly, and the days when Zhen Huan left the palace to practice cultivation in her previous life were all gone.

Without Zhen Huan, Prince Guo and Ye Lan'yi got in touch.

After receiving the news from the two, Songzhi was not surprised at all.

The emperor wanted to play the role of brother to brother with Prince Guo, so he gave Prince Guo many privileges, such as freedom to enter and leave the palace, and even the harem.

Sometimes Songzhi thought that it was no wonder that Prince Guo and Zhen Huan made mistakes, it was because the emperor gave them too much freedom.
