Chapter 212 If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die.
After being reborn for so long, Concubine Hua has given in everywhere and the Nian family has been cautious at every step, but the Emperor still forced them to this point.
Concubine Hua really didn't want to endure it anymore today.
If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.
But if her life in this life is still controlled by this dog emperor, what is the point of her living again?
Concubine Hua closed the door and refused visitors. The majesty of the Yikun Palace made it difficult to approach.
Concubine Hua was very grateful to the Emperor for coming. Now she had a legitimate reason not to pay her respects in Jingren Palace.
No matter how chaotic the outside world was, Concubine Hua lived an exceptionally peaceful life.
The "Rouge" outside the palace opened for business with great success, and Sun Miaoqing asked someone to deliver two gold-plated red invitations. Even though Concubine Hua and An Lingrong were in the harem and could not attend, Miss Sun wanted these two women in the palace who had always supported her to celebrate with her.
Concubine Hua used her light pink fingernails to trace the large gold-plated characters "Empress Hua" on the opening invitation, feeling sentimental in her heart. When she was at the Nian family before, the invitations between the boudoirs were all addressed to "Miss Shilan".
It would be nice if one day I could leave this square palace and go to the streets to see the bustling scene of the "Rouge Color" palace.
After all, every color of rouge in "Rouge Color" has been carefully scrutinized by ourselves.
Judging from my own taste, there is no one in Beijing who doesn't love the young ladies and ladies.
Concubine Hua did not stay at home all the time. She would stroll around the Imperial Garden, go to the stage to listen to operas, and when new flower seeds arrived, she would ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send them over for her to appreciate.
There is only one thing: I will not go to Jingren Palace to pay my respects.
When Concubine Qi heard the news that the Emperor was angry with Concubine Hua, her first reaction was to go to the small kitchen and make a crystal hawthorn cake and ask Cuiguo to send it to Concubine Hua.
She was worried that Concubine Hua would be too sad to eat because of the emperor's neglect, so she specially made hawthorn cake for her to whet her appetite.
From time to time, Xin would find Linglong as an excuse to go to Yiku Palace for lunch or dinner.
By the way, she chatted with Concubine Hua about the fact that she had sent some spring clothes to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince is indeed at an age where he is growing taller. With the coming of spring, he has grown taller and his clothes from last year are too short for him.
Also, when Concubine Qi went to visit the Third Prince, she would also bring some cakes for the Fourth Prince, some of which were made by Concubine Qi and some were sent by Lingzhi from the Yikun Palace.
When Concubine Wan met the Fourth Prince by chance in the Imperial Garden, she would also test his schoolwork and remind him not to forget to rest while studying hard.
Of course, all these bits and pieces of information were heard by the emperor.
From this perspective, Concubine Hua's care for the Fourth Prince is really insignificant.
I really shouldn't have used this matter to test Concubine Hua that day.
Or maybe there are too few children in this palace. Which woman doesn’t have maternal feelings?
The emperor listened to the news brought by Xia Qie and Xiao Xiazi's occasional gossip, and his guilt grew deeper.
The anger that Hua Fei had caused him when she rejected the idea that day gradually faded a little.
The enthronement ceremony of Concubine Duan and the enthronement ceremony of Concubine Hui were held on the same day. The Emperor looked solemn and the Empress still had a decent smile on her face. The two of them sat on high seats and received respectful gifts from Concubine Duan and Concubine Hui.
After the ceremony, because Concubine Duan was weak and Jinghe could not leave Shen Meiyu, they both left the Hall of Supreme Harmony without staying for long, leaving the Emperor and the Empress alone.
The emperor looked indifferent, and the queen really couldn't guess what he was thinking.
But thinking about what she had heard two days ago, that although Nian Fu, the second son of the Nian family, had suppressed the rebellion at Zhuozi Mountain, the emperor only awarded him a set of four treasures of the study. Adding to the rumors in the palace, the queen made a bold bet:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Duan has served you for many years. Her promotion as Concubine today is a token of her long service to Deyi. However, Concubine Hua will not be happy about this."
The queen turned to look at the emperor, with obvious tentativeness in her words.
"Ahem." The emperor's throat was dry from sitting for too long. "I heard that Concubine Hua has taken sick leave. I haven't paid her respects for a long time."
"Yes, Concubine Hua is the most comfortable one in the palace," replied the Queen.
The Queen knew that Concubine Hua went everywhere every day but never went to pay her respects. When asked, she always said she was not feeling well.
What's wrong?
I have headaches, chest tightness, dry eyes, weakness in my limbs, and discomfort in my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
The imperial physician diagnosed that the patient had stagnation of qi and was depressed.
Go out for a walk more often to relax your mind.
"Hua Fei is unhappy, so it's fine that she doesn't go to pay respects. Hua Fei has always been like that. Queen, please be more tolerant of her." The emperor said.
The queen couldn't help but clutch the corner of her court dress.
Concubine Hua couldn't move for the moment.
For the first time, the Queen didn’t understand. It was true that the Emperor was angry with Concubine Hua, but it was also true that he indulged Concubine Hua’s willfulness. What exactly did the Emperor want to do?
I really don't understand this kind of twisted emotion.
The queen may not know that quarrels between ordinary couples are probably like this.
It's just that this feeling of being humiliated was magnified in the king who has the final say.
"Oh, your majesty, Lipin of Qixiang Palace wants to invite Ling to live with her, saying that she feels lonely living alone in Qixiang Palace." The queen then talked about another matter. "Please make the decision, Your Majesty."
"You can make your own decisions on these trivial matters in the harem. You don't need to discuss them with me."
The emperor stood up and walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
He wanted to talk to Huanhuan. Huanhuan was his confidant and she must understand his helplessness and the difficulties Concubine Hua had made him face.
The queen watched the emperor walk away without looking back and took a deep breath through her nose.
The emperor's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to guess.
Why does she feel that the emperor cares about Concubine Hua more than before?
The queen then comforted herself, saying that fortunately this time, it was the sickly Concubine Duan who was promoted to Imperial Concubine, and she was still the master of the harem, as the sickly Concubine Duan could not handle anything.
And Shen Meizhuang, the legitimate daughter, is even less able to manage the household affairs. Besides, Shen Meizhuang has no interest in the emperor now. As long as she is no longer pregnant, the queen will tolerate her.
The Queen thought about these things and returned to Jingren Palace. She asked Jianqiu to pass on the message that she agreed to let Ling move to Qixiang Palace.
He also issued an order for Concubine Li to personally take care of Ling Xiang's baby.
This way, the queen doesn't have to do anything herself.
Didn't Lipin want a child? I have already helped Lipin, now it depends on whether Lipin has the ability.
After Shen Meizhuang was made a concubine, she had to move out of Xianfu Palace. Wen Yi was reluctant to leave and cried loudly. Concubine Jing had no choice but to take Wen Yi to Chuxiu Palace by the hand to let Wen Yi feel that Chuxiu Palace was really not far from Xianfu Palace.
The Chuxiu Palace was busy with the move, and Concubine Xin brought Linglong and Concubine Qi to join in the fun.
Zhen Huan was called to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor, so she could only ask Xiao Yunzi to send something to congratulate Shen Meizhuang on her new house.
Concubine Hua also asked Songzhi to prepare gifts and go to Chuxiu Palace.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Ninghai came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, An Changzai sent a message that Noble Lady Fucha has had her period."
