An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 265 Everything is in vain
Originally, the Empress Dowager's Thousand Years' Celebration was a grand event in the palace, and it was also a rare opportunity for many concubines to show their courtesy in front of the Emperor.
However, Prince Dun made a slip of the tongue in public at the Chonghua Palace banquet, which angered the Emperor. Even though the situation was finally resolved by the Empress Dowager, the atmosphere was still terribly awkward.
Because of this, Concubine Hua, who had originally planned to invite the Queen Mother to the Baohua Hall to watch the blessing ceremony the next day, became uneasy.
"Alas, Prince Dun suddenly did this, it's obvious that he wants to make things difficult for the emperor!"
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua couldn't fall asleep.
In fact, this matter had little to do with her.
After all, Concubine Hua is just a concubine in the harem, while Prince Dun is a member of the royal family. Although the two are considered "relatives", that depends on whether the emperor wants to recognize them.
After what happened yesterday, Yongzheng was filled with only resentment towards this "half-brother" whom he didn't like in the first place, and didn't have any brotherly affection to care about.
It’s a pity that Concubine Hua really had some other reasons in this matter, which made her very worried that she would be implicated!
This matter is also very embarrassing to talk about. Hua Fei's brother Nian Gengyao once worked with Prince Dun. Because of this relationship, Prince Dun also treated the Nian family with courtesy.
If it were before, with Hua Fei's personality, she would not worry about these things at all.
However, Nian Gengyao was too arrogant when he came back this time, which made Concubine Hua feel a little worried.
"Forget it! Let's just hold it as usual!"
After some thought, Concubine Hua sighed and felt that the prayer meeting that Cao Qinmo had ordered early in the morning could not be abandoned.
Not to mention that this was a "big deal" in itself to please the Empress Dowager. Since such an ugly accident had happened before, if he tried hard to perform at this time, he might be able to please the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
As long as this mother and son are happy, everything will be fine!
With a worried mood, Concubine Hua hardly slept a wink all night.
Early in the morning, she asked someone to call Cao Qinmo over.
As soon as Cao Qinmo arrived at Yikun Palace, she pretended to be awakened from a dream and said to Concubine Hua in a hurry: "I left in a hurry and forgot the Buddhist scripture I prepared earlier in the palace. Please send someone to get it quickly!"
In the advice Cao Qinmo gave to Concubine Hua before, in addition to suggesting to Concubine Hua to summon a monk in the Baohua Palace to pray for the Queen Mother, she also ordered people to find a very precious Buddhist scripture outside, intending to let Concubine Hua give the Queen Mother "double happiness"!
Of course, this was a deliberate plot devised by Cao Qinmo in order to sow discord between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua and cause further antagonism between the two sides.
Only in this way can she benefit from it!
"Why did you just remember it now? You almost delayed my important event!"
Sure enough, after hearing what Cao Qinmo said, Concubine Hua's eyelids twitched wildly, and she quickly asked Songzhi to get it.
On the other hand, Concubine Hua herself was preparing to go to Shoukang Palace and invite the Queen Mother to Baohua Hall to watch the ceremony first.
They each have their own good plans and believe that their plans will succeed.
Unexpectedly, after Songzhi went to Cao Qinmo's palace, she found the scriptures easily.
Although the palace maid who had received Cao Qinmo's orders followed all the way, she did not find a chance to carry out Cao Qinmo's order to "destroy the book" because Songzhi had been keeping the scripture strictly guarded.
On the other hand, the Queen Mother is now filled with worry about the unrest in the hearts of the people in the court!
It is said that Nian Gengyao is also very arrogant, and Prince Dun is ready to make moves, which is really worrying.
Because of this, when Concubine Hua came to Shoukang Palace and earnestly invited her to watch the ceremony in Baohua Hall, the Empress Dowager refused without a second thought and did not even meet Concubine Hua.
The rejected Concubine Hua looked bewildered, and she obviously didn't realize that she had been turned away so easily.
It was not until Songzhi came with Buddhist scriptures that she woke up from her dream and hurriedly shouted that she wanted to see the Queen Mother again.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother had made up her mind not to see anyone from the Nian family. Sun Zhuxi came on the Queen Mother's orders. Even though his tone was polite, he insisted on carrying out the Queen Mother's orders and did not give Concubine Hua any chance to enter Shoukang Palace.
Concubine Hua was very angry, but the Queen Mother had made up her mind, so she naturally had no choice but to return home in disappointment.
As for the "precious Buddhist scripture" that Cao Qinmo had originally placed high hopes on, it was directly smashed in her face by the angry Concubine Hua.
Watching the other party's staff flying away, Cao Qinmo felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.
……
At the same time, the emperor was still upset about Prince Dun's disobedience.
Even after a night, he was still angry.
After reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace for a while, Yongzheng became so bored that he could not concentrate on government affairs.
Yongzheng turned around and found Zhen Huan, hoping to find comfort from this "flower of eloquence".
Originally, Zhen Huan was embroidering in the palace. When she saw the emperor coming, she quickly stood up and saluted.
"Why is the Emperor here with me now?"
"I am the only one here now, so there is no need for you to be polite."
The emperor waved his hand, motioning her to sit down, and then he said bluntly, "What do you think about Prince Dun's affairs?"
Being asked this question suddenly, Zhen Huan felt nervous.
As early as the previous banquet, she had already sensed the emperor's dissatisfaction with Prince Dun.
Having said that, as an emperor, Yongzheng was very magnanimous as he had been able to tolerate his brother's repeated offenses until now.
But she didn't want to get involved in this dispute, so she didn't know how to answer.
"In theory, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but the questions asked by the emperor are not matters of the previous dynasty..."
After thinking for a moment, Zhen Huan said, "I think that although Prince Dun has disobeyed the emperor, he is still the emperor's brother. I hope the emperor will consider the relationship between brothers and give him a lighter sentence."
The emperor's expression eased a little after hearing this, but he still said: "Prince Dun's behavior has threatened my prestige. I can't just sit back and watch. Otherwise, if it continues, not only will the Aisin-Gioro clan be in turmoil, but even the entire court will be shaken."
Zhen Huan didn't want to touch on any risky topics, so she just said, "I understand your majesty's difficulties, but Prince Dun is a member of the royal family after all. If your majesty is too harsh on him, it may cause dissatisfaction among other members of the royal family..."
When the nine princes were competing for the throne, all the princes of the late emperor used all kinds of means and tricks just to ascend the throne.
Although many years have passed, it seems that all obstacles have been removed by Yongzheng.
But beneath this calm appearance, there are still some hidden dangers.
"That's right!" The emperor nodded and said, "You are right, I will consider your suggestion.
Seeing that Yongzheng was willing to listen to her advice, Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and changed the topic to a lighter note.
