An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 227: Growing Branches
Huang Guiquan is a distant relative of the Nian family. The reason why he was able to take charge of the Imperial Household Department was because of his relationship with the Nian family.
When Concubine Hua still had the power to assist in managing the six palaces, Huang Guiquan often tried to curry favor with the Yikun Palace during festivals and holidays.
Even though Concubine Hua no longer has the power, Huang Guiquan does not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
In addition, Concubine Hua was very good at rewarding everyone in the palace. Even though she is no longer qualified to be in charge of palace affairs, everyone respects her and is always polite to the Yikun Palace.
Just like the palace maids and eunuchs who were placed in Xianfu Palace, they were stuffed there through Huang Guiquan.
When Concubine Jing knocked out the nail he had planted, Huang Guiquan had to go there for both moral and legal reasons, but he unexpectedly met with a cold shoulder in Xianfu Palace.
Not only could he not swallow this anger, he also knew that this matter had to be reported to Concubine Hua in a timely manner, so he went to Yikun Palace in person.
……
Concubine Hua was in a good mood these days.
After all, such a mess happened in the Queen's Jingren Palace, and the activities she had planned were also ruined. Concubine Hua watched the excitement from the side and was of course happy.
If there is one flaw, it would be the fact that Lady Borjigit is pregnant.
When Concubine Hua thought about how everyone else could give birth but she alone couldn't, she became furious.
But fortunately, she had the eloquent Cao Qinmo by her side, and after some gentle words from her, Hua Fei's anger was indeed put out.
Not to mention that Cao Qinmo also proposed a "clever plan", saying that they could take advantage of the fact that Concubine Borjigit was pregnant to start taking action against Shen Meizhuang!
According to Cao Qinmo, after the diagnosis by the imperial physician, Concubine Borjigit was confirmed to be pregnant. Instead of sulking here, it would be better to make arrangements in advance while the attention of the whole palace is focused on Concubine Borjigit, so that Shen Meizhuang and the others can fall into the trap.
When Concubine Hua heard this, she really didn't have time to be angry anymore.
She thought carefully about what Cao Qinmo said, and had to admit that what Cao Qinmo said made sense.
However, Concubine Hua has always been a person who doesn't like to worry about things. Since it was Cao Qinmo who proposed this matter, she simply handed it over to Cao Qinmo to handle.
Cao Qinmo did not refuse and agreed immediately, saying that she would make Concubine Hua satisfied.
Therefore, when Songzhi suddenly came in to report that Huang Guiquan from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had arrived, Concubine Hua's first reaction was a little strange.
"What is he doing here at this time?"
Concubine Hua glanced at Songzhi, who shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Well, since he's here, let him in."
Concubine Hua still needs this "distant relative" on a daily basis. Now that he is here, she will certainly not turn him away.
"Your servant pays respects to the Empress Hua, may the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness!"
Although he was the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, Huang Guiquan did not dare to put on airs in front of Concubine Hua and still bowed and greeted her in a proper manner.
"Well, why did you suddenly want to come here?"
Concubine Hua responded indifferently, casually playing with a jade bracelet with excellent water content in her hand, and did not pay attention to Huang Guiquan.
Seeing that Concubine Hua was so nonchalant, Huang Guiquan had no objection at all. He just hoped that the Concubine would still maintain this attitude after hearing what he was going to say next. Then everything would be fine.
"Reporting to the Empress Hua, I just came back from Xianfu Palace... Concubine Jing sent back the maids and eunuchs sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I went to ask about it, but I didn't expect to be squeezed by her words. She said that these palace maids were not very dedicated when serving Concubine Shen on weekdays. I thought that they might have noticed something, so I came to inform the Empress Hua and also want to ask for your instructions!"
Huang Guiquan gritted his teeth and told Concubine Hua how he went to Xianfu Palace and how he was forced to flee in a sarcastic manner by Concubine Jing.
Hua Fei, who had seemed nonchalant at first, had stopped playing with the jade bracelet when Huang Guiquan was halfway through his words.
By the time Huang Guiquan finished speaking, Concubine Hua's face had become gloomy.
"Snapped!"
With a clear sound, Concubine Hua slapped the fine jade bracelet on the low table, and then asked gloomily: "So, this is how you come to see me?"
"Your servant, your servant dare not make the decision on your own. You must first report back to your majesty before you can make a decision!"
This was not the first time Huang Guiquan faced Concubine Hua, but once Concubine Hua showed signs of anger, he still felt tremendous pressure when standing in front of her.
Having said that, the reasons given by Huang Guiquan are also reasonable.
Facing the storm from Concubine Hua at this moment, even though he was trembling a little, he still insisted on this statement.
First of all, those people were driven out by Concubine Jing, and the reason for them being returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs was that they did not serve their master diligently enough on a daily basis.
After these words were spoken, if Huang Guiquan argued with Jingpin, he would probably be beaten down with sticks.
The essence of the Imperial Household Department is to serve the masters in the palace. As the eunuch in charge, he is responsible for ensuring that the masters in all the six palaces are satisfied.
For example, arranging palace maids and eunuchs to serve is a matter that cannot be any smaller, so naturally there is nothing to say about it.
But something has gone wrong in this matter. If I continue to argue with Jingpin, my "master", the intention behind it will be too obvious!
Huang Guiquan's meaning was very clear. He had no way of keeping those "nails" now, but being able to avoid implicating himself and not dragging Concubine Hua into it was already the greatest achievement of his efforts.
Now, the reason why he came to Concubine Hua to report this matter, in addition to needing Concubine Hua's clear guidance, he also wanted the Empress to have an idea in her mind.
"Haha, you are really getting better and better at your job!"
Hua Fei slammed the table and said angrily: "I don't care about the affairs of the six palaces now. Since you choose to do so, don't come to see me in the future. Get out!"
In the end, Concubine Hua didn't want to talk to Huang Guiquan anymore and just drove him out.
Huang Guiquan originally thought that even if Concubine Hua was angry when she heard the news, she would at least be able to come up with some remedy and give him instructions.
As a result, Hua Fei's first reaction was as he expected, she became furious.
But after getting angry, Concubine Hua didn't have any further thoughts and even directly drove him out, which caught Huang Guiquan off guard.
"What is all this about?"
After being "invited" out of the Yikun Palace by two young eunuchs, Huang Guiquan looked at this magnificent palace and couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that it was no wonder that Concubine Hua was showing signs of falling out of favor now. With this temper, the Emperor might not love her as much as before!
Concubine Hua had no idea that she was being framed by a eunuch. At this time, she was getting angry in the hall.
Songzhi was trembling with fear watching from the side. She wanted to persuade Concubine Hua to calm down, but she couldn't get close to her at all.
After the smashing and destroying, Concubine Hua said coldly: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call that bitch over to me!"
