TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 144 Yixiu 13

Hua Fei was discussing with Song Zhi what patterns to embroider on the clothes. When she heard Cao Guiren's voice outside, she looked up in surprise.

He reached out and lifted Wen Yi into his arms, then turned to ask Concubine Cao, "Why are you carrying the princess out at this hour?"

Before Concubine Cao came in, she had prepared herself mentally, thinking that she would see an angry Concubine Hua, but she didn't expect that she looked quite happy.

Knowing that nothing was wrong, she smiled and tapped Wen Yi's face.

"Wen Yi slept for a long time this afternoon. She is very energetic now. I dared to bring her here to bother Your Majesty. Please don't blame me."

Concubine Hua held the sweet and soft little princess in her arms, and her heart softened when she looked at her fair and tender face.

I always wanted to have my own child, and I would be happy if this princess was raised in the Yikun Palace and had no worries about food and clothing.

Now that this hope is gone, Concubine Hua likes Wen Yi very much when she sees her, but she has never thought of separating Concubine Cao and her daughter. There is no need for that.

"You can come as long as you want. I'm happy to see Wen Yi."

"Songzhi, take out the box of pearls and leave it for the princess as her dowry."

"My Lady, you can't..."

Concubine Cao hurriedly tried to stop her, saying that it wasn't a festival, so how could she accept such an expensive gift? Concubine Hua had nothing bad here.

Hua Fei threw away her handkerchief and pulled the other party impatiently.

"Okay, sit down quickly. What's given to the princess is not for you."

Seeing her firm attitude, Concubine Cao sat back down.

The child soon became sleepy. Concubine Hua was pulling Concubine Cao to look at the new things presented below, so she simply let the wet nurse take Wen Yi back to rest.

"Look, this thing is called Mahjong. It's quite similar to the game we play, and the rules of the game are even written on it!"

This was the first time that Concubine Hua opened the box. She had been sick and in a bad mood for the past few days, and the gifts given by others had piled up in the warehouse.

Today, Songzhi dared to use these little gadgets to cheer her up.

"What an exquisite thing! They actually use a whole piece of colored glass to make the toy. It's really a big deal." Concubine Cao was a little shocked when she saw the beautiful colored glass cubes in front of her.

There is blue-purple gold powder flowing on the back, making it look more like an ornament than a toy.

The more Hua Fei watched, the more interested she became.

She thought about everyone in her mind, and then she realized that she had very few concubines in the palace who were on good terms with her, and she couldn't even find anyone to play with at this moment.

That's right, because I like the emperor, I don't like any woman. Looking back, I find it ridiculous.

Such a disgusting face. Back when she was a boudoir girl, she was also a cheerful and lively girl, not like now...

"Songzhi, go and invite Concubine Li and Concubine Jing."

Concubine Cao glanced at the time and said, "Your Majesty, the door should be locked in two quarters of an hour. What?"

"It's okay, just say that I have something to discuss with them." Concubine Hua waved her hand and let Songzhi go out. There was no need to care about such a small matter.

When Concubine Li received the news, she rushed over immediately, but there was a panic in Xianfu Palace.

Jingpin has always been unwilling to conflict with others, and even more unwilling to confront Huafei.

Living with Concubine Hua in the palace, not only was she not favored, but she was also tired of living in fear all day long.

"Ruyi, what do you think Concubine Hua is going to do?"

Jingpin sat upright and let the palace maid dress her. The miserable condition of Concubine Duan and her shrill cries that night unconsciously emerged in her mind.

I went to Yiku Palace alone at night... It seemed that there was no grudge between me and Concubine Hua!

After a while, she quickly shook her head and shook off these images.

No, although Concubine Hua's words are harsh, she doesn't want to bother with small fry like them, so nothing will happen.

Ruyi was tidying up Jingpin's clothes while comforting her, "Master, don't worry too much. You are the head of the palace now, after all. Concubine Hua won't dare to go too far."

"Hua Fei is well now. Does she want to take back the power of the palace from me?"

"Master, don't worry. The power of the palace was divided by the emperor. Besides, even if he wanted to take it back, he shouldn't have started with us."

Ruyi glanced at the side hall secretly, where the recently favored Concubine Shen lived.

Even though she was unsure, she didn't want to increase her master's worries, so she could only say the best thing.

Jingpin didn't dare to delay, for fear of angering Huafei, and she was thinking about the recent events in the palace all the way.

To be honest, these days are the happiest time of her life.

For some reason, Concubine Hua stopped causing trouble and even did nothing to help the newcomer gain favor.

Because the Queen and Concubine Hua were ill, Concubine Jing was also given some palace power. Ruyi's words made sense. Even if she wanted palace power, Concubine Shen and other talents were Concubine Hua's first target.

Standing outside the Yiku Palace, Jingpin took several deep breaths, and finally walked in at Ruyi's reminder.

"I'm late, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Hua Fei was studying the cards in her hand. She looked up and then quickly lowered her head. "Get up. I'll show you something new. Sit down."

Concubine Li never paid much attention to these unfavored concubines, but since they were invited by Concubine Hua, she couldn't show any displeasure. She smiled and turned around to coax Concubine Hua.

"Sister Jingpin, come quickly. We are waiting for you."

After Jingpin bowed, she was pulled by Cao Guiren to sit at the table. Before she could take a closer look at what was in front of her, Cao Guiren stuffed a piece of paper in front of her.

"Look, Sister Jingpin, this thing is very simple..."

Jingpin was smart. After Cao Guiren's explanation, she understood that she was here today just to play a game with Hua Fei and nothing else.

The originally tense mood gradually relaxed.

Soon the four of them started playing. After one or two rounds to get familiar with the rules, the initial stiffness disappeared and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

Mahjong has such charm.

Jingpin is not a dull person. Although she doesn't want to take sides, she will not offend others easily.

"North Wind."

"bump!"

Concubine Cao glanced at Concubine Jing, and the two of them had already reached a tacit understanding.

"Thirty thousand."

“Hu!!!”

Hua Fei's eyes lit up and she quickly pushed the cards in front of her down.

He said proudly: "I am so lucky, look how beautiful this card is."

"That's right. I feel that this position is not very convenient. Sister, can we change it?" Jingpin looked at Cao Guiren in annoyance, as if she was really complaining about her bad luck.

"Okay, that's what my sister wished for."

"It won't work even if you two switch places. God is on my side today."

Concubine Hua smiled happily as she looked at the golden melon seeds that were about to overflow from the box.

Sure enough, changing seats did not save the luck of Jingpin and the others. They had to play until late at night.

The next day, Concubine Hua sent someone to send a generous reward.

Jingpin took a closer look and found that this was much more than what she had invested.

Rubbing her swollen forehead, she fell asleep again. Fortunately, the Queen was kind, otherwise she would have been rude that morning.
