An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 213: Using Flowers to Metaphor People
Concubine Hua got down from the sedan chair and was supported by Songzhi as she walked into Jingren Palace. Concubine Cao followed beside her. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she seemed very satisfied and the smile on her face became even bigger.
"May the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness!"
As soon as Concubine Hua arrived, there was no need to say anything more. Everyone put aside their original emotions and bowed to Concubine Hua respectfully.
"Everyone is free of charge."
Hua Fei swept her eyes over everyone and said lazily, "Especially Noble Lady Shen and Noble Lady An. You are both pregnant women, your bodies are worth a lot of gold, you can't be careless at all, otherwise if something goes wrong, I don't know how to explain it to the emperor."
Although Hua Fei said this with a smile, the smile did not reach her eyes, and at the end, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in her words.
Obviously, Concubine Hua has always been brooding over the fact that others can give birth but she cannot. Even when she sees other concubines in the palace are pregnant, she would also get angry.
With such a previous situation, they naturally couldn't expect Concubine Hua to be very kind to them.
In addition, An Lingrong also felt that Concubine Hua's gaze towards her and Shen Meiyu was filled with strong malice and sarcasm.
It is easy to imagine that at this moment, Concubine Hua probably still thinks that her plan is flawless, and that she and Shen Meizhuang are being played in her hands.
Thinking of this, the smile on An Lingrong's lips deepened further.
"Come on, everyone, get up. The queen will be here soon, and some of you will have to kneel!"
Concubine Hua shifted her gaze away from An Lingrong and the others, then curled her lips and walked inside.
"Thank you, Empress Hua!"
Everyone stood up as if they didn't hear the sourness in Hua Fei's tone.
Concubine Hua and the Queen have been at odds for a long time.
No matter how favored Concubine Hua is, the Queen is still the Queen after all.
The queen is the master of the six palaces and the mother of the country.
Even if Hua Fei causes trouble again, she is still just a concubine. This alone is enough for Hua Fei to constantly provoke the Queen.
After standing up, just as everyone was about to disperse, Jiang Fuhai's unique shrill voice was heard from the side.
"The Queen is here!"
Well, after these words were spoken, everyone who had already relaxed could only bow once again in the direction where the queen was coming.
"We are all sisters. There is no need to be so polite. Stand up."
The Queen did not come here to show off in front of all the concubines in the palace, she was just waiting for Concubine Hua.
So, when Concubine Hua arrived, the Queen naturally came out as well.
Now, seeing the gorgeously dressed Concubine Hua having to kneel before her, the Queen was secretly happy, but on the surface she appeared virtuous and generous.
"The Queen is in such good spirits."
Hua Fei had only bent her knees symbolically. As soon as the Queen finished speaking, she immediately stood up. Now she looked at her exquisite jeweled armor and said calmly, "The weather is getting better and better now. No wonder the Queen has such a refined taste and invited us sisters to come to your place to appreciate the flowers. However, I see that although the peonies in the garden are in full bloom, the colors..."
Hua Fei wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate the Queen, so after she glanced at the peonies in the garden, she said with a smile: "Although this peony is the king of flowers, its color is not pure red. Even if the flower blooms luxuriantly, it still falls into the inferior category."
"Oh?"
Facing the ridicule from Concubine Hua, the Queen merely raised her eyebrows without revealing much emotion, and asked in return: "It seems that Sister Hua Fei has a lot of insights into the way of appreciating flowers?"
"I can't say that I have an opinion, but as far as I know, the red one is for the main wife, and the pink and bright red ones are of lower quality. The Queen is the master of the six palaces, so why are the peonies planted in the palace of this variety? Could it be that the eunuchs in the flower room dared to fool the Queen?"
Hua Fei was still speaking with a smile, but when she got to the latter part, she suddenly became harsh and stern, and it seemed that she was speaking up for the Queen.
"Sister, you haven't been in charge of the Six Palaces for a long time. Of course, you don't know that these peonies are all new varieties cultivated by the flower room. Their color doesn't seem to be bright red, but it's not pink or bright red either. It just so happens that the weather is good this year, so the new varieties cultivated by the flower room can grow smoothly."
The queen smiled and told the inside story which was unknown to outsiders.
Seeing this, Concubine Hua narrowed her eyes, but swayed her waist, walked to a pot of blooming peonies, and said with a smile: "Even if the variety is not new, as long as the color is right and the flowers are blooming well, people will think it is a valuable item when they see it. Otherwise, no matter how new it is, it will not scare people away. It is a mistake!"
Everyone was watching the two of them, seemingly admiring each other, and they all sensed the strong anger between them.
Zhen Huan saw this scene and felt an uneasy feeling in her heart, so she wanted to step forward to smooth things over.
"Sister, what do you want to do?"
However, just as Zhen Huan was about to take action, An Lingrong's voice came from the side, causing her to pause.
"I……"
Faced with An Lingrong's question, Zhen Huan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer this question.
Because her reaction just now was completely out of her instinct, Zhen Huan didn't know how to explain this to An Lingrong.
"Sister, if you want to mediate, there's no need to do that!"
An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan and lowered her voice to ensure that no one around would notice her conversation with Zhen Huan.
The reason why An Lingrong stopped Zhen Huan at the first opportunity was because she recalled things from her previous life.
At that time, the Queen had a verbal battle with Concubine Hua while appreciating flowers. At that time, Zhen Huan suddenly ran out and recited a poem in front of the two of them.
An Lingrong could no longer remember the details of the poem.
However, one thing is certain, that is, after Zhen Huan finished speaking, the Queen was very happy, while Concubine Hua's face turned several shades darker due to anger.
Because of this, when An Lingrong saw that Zhen Huan was showing signs of taking action, she immediately stopped Zhen Huan.
"My sister has a point."
Zhen Huan originally wanted to argue with An Lingrong, but then she changed her mind and felt that what An Lingrong said made sense.
After all, there were many concubines present at the moment, and it could be said that everyone except Concubine Duan was here.
Among them, Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing were both older and of higher status than herself.
Even they didn't step forward to smooth things over. I'm just a small nobleman, so my words won't be effective, right?
Moreover, Hua Fei has a fierce personality. If she becomes angry because of what he said, it will cause trouble for him.
As Zhen Huan was thinking, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by.
The next moment, she heard a scream!
