TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 137 Yixiu 6

An Lingrong only found out later that the nanny sent by the Queen had taught Xia Dongchun a lot of things. Although her approach was a bit strict, the effect was very obvious.

She also learned a lot, and only then could she feel the queen's kindness.

With her company, Xia Dongchun's days of learning the rules were less painful. Instead, he became more serious because of his competitive spirit.

Noble Lady Fucha was favored and had a good family background, so she was too lazy to have much contact with them, and everything went smoothly.

The arrival of several new people in the palace caused a great shock to Concubine Hua. There were already too many people and too little meat, and now there is even less.

She looked through the records of the Jingshifang and was so angry that her heart was bleeding.

"Well, they are all restless. They have only been in the palace for a few days and they have already seduced the emperor to run towards them."

"Don't be angry, ma'am. Compared to you, this is nothing."

Hua Fei looked at herself in the mirror and smiled bitterly. This was only the first year, and there would only be more and more newcomers.

When she smelled the fragrant aroma in the hall, she immediately felt a surge of fighting spirit.

She has been favored in the palace for so many years, so why should she be afraid of more newcomers? How can those people compare to her position in the emperor's heart?

"Songzhi, it's a very cold winter. Bring some nourishing soups and let's go visit the emperor."

With Concubine Hua's active courtesy and the tense war situation in the northwest, the emperor was particularly fond of Concubine Hua.

Su Peisheng also personally sent a box of Dongzhu to Yiku Palace, which made Hua Fei's tail stand up again.

Favored people like Shen Meizhuang have suffered many setbacks.

The emperor was even more pleased with this. The women in the harem would only be jealous if they had feelings for her, so this little dispute was nothing.

After a few conversations, Noble Lady Fucha also started talking to Shen Meiyu, and they seemed to have a sense of sympathy for each other.

When the late emperor was alive, Fucha supported the eighth prince, and now the fourth prince has inherited the throne.

Even though the emperor did not pursue the matter and even tried to appease the Fucha family because of their many years of contributions, it was still different whether they were confidants or not.

Fu Cha Guiren was also advised by her family to be cautious when entering the palace this time.

If it weren't for this, she would have been furious long ago. Nian Gengyao was powerful, and her Fucha family was not cowards either.

New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye. Concubine Hua was so happy that the emperor praised Nian Gengyao in public that she didn't notice the other party's strange look at all.

The red plum blossoms at the banquet reminded the emperor of Chun Yuan. Looking at the face that looked similar to Chun Yuan, he couldn't control his emotions for a moment.

"Zhen, the concubine of Guan, is both virtuous and beautiful, diligent and respectful. I am very pleased with her and will promote her to the rank of Lady Guan from today onwards."

Zhen Huan was chatting with Shen Meiyu about which dessert was the most delicious. When she heard the news, she quickly stood up to express her gratitude.

Concubine Hua's joy disappeared, and her eyes were as cold as poison as she looked at Zhen Huan.

She has liked the emperor for many years, so how could she not see that Zhen Huan is special in the emperor's eyes.

Yixiu had long since fallen out with the emperor, and she had never let him stay overnight since Zhen Huan and others entered the palace.

Only the emperor thought that Yixiu was being stubborn and decided to give her the cold shoulder. Both parties only showed each other a good face in formal occasions.

The next day when paying her respects, Concubine Hua was in full force and started mocking Zhen Huan.

"Lady Wan is truly privileged. I heard the Emperor even allowed you to serve as a calligrapher in the Yangxin Palace. This is not a privilege common to be afforded."

"We must seize the opportunity while the Emperor is still new and have an heir. Then we can catch up with Concubine Qi."

Concubine Li also joined in the conversation, using the fact that the Fourth Prince's mother had died young to annoy people.

Zhen Huan didn't want to speak up and just said something casually to get by.

"How dare I compare myself to Concubine Qi."

Concubine Hua was about to say something when Yixiu interrupted her, "It doesn't matter what you want to say, but don't bring up the prince for no reason. After all, he is the heir to the throne."

"If you don't have anything to do, just leave."

Seeing that Yixiu looked unhappy, Lipin and others stopped talking and quietly retreated.

Only Concubine Hua remained where she was. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Yixiu sarcastically, "The Empress is truly magnanimous."

"You are truly virtuous for protecting the newlyweds who are so favored. I just wonder if the Empress will still be as kind when they both have heirs."

Yixiu saw strong dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Looking at the gorgeous decorations in the palace, Yixiu could no longer remain silent.

"If there is one, then there is one. Anyway, it won't be you or me who has the royal heir."

Concubine Hua slammed the table and stood up. The royal heir had always been an ever-present shadow in her heart. Now there were only the two of them in the hall.

She had no scruples when she got angry.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Queen? You are old and ugly and can't have children. Please don't bring trouble to me."

"What good would it do me to lie to you? If you can't have children, then you can't have children. If you don't believe me, go find a doctor outside to check it out."

The palace physician had always said there was no problem, but the queen asked her to find someone else, which clearly showed that she knew something.

Hua Fei's mind suddenly went blank, and her ears were filled with rustling noises, which gave her a headache.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you okay? Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Songzhi helped the dizzy Concubine Hua sit back down and looked at her pale face with heartache.

When he turned to look at Yixiu, his eyes were full of vigilance and threat, as if he was about to rush out and call for help.

"Empress, please summon the imperial physician."

“No… no need…”

Hua Fei held Song Zhi's arm, and the blood that had just surged had slowly calmed down.

She looked solemnly at the queen who was staying out of the matter, with a barely perceptible pleading in her tone. Since this matter concerned her offspring, she could not allow herself to be proud.

For someone who dreams of having a child, the truth is more important than anything else.

"Please tell us what your Majesty knows, and the Nian family will definitely repay you well."

The Ulanara clan was weak in the previous dynasty. If the Nian family was willing to help, it would not be a problem to find a job for a member of the clan. This was why she dared to speak up.

After being together for many years, Concubine Hua believed that she knew the Queen very well.

If it weren't for the sake of gaining benefits, she would never have disclosed this matter.

"That bowl of medicine was used by Concubine Duan to take the blame for the Emperor. The reason you haven't been able to conceive for so many years is because he gave you the Huan Yi Xiang. If you don't believe me, go ahead and check it out."

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things carelessly!"

Songzhi hugged Concubine Hua, and from the sound of her voice she was about to cry, but she still had to pretend to be powerful to cheer herself up.

Yixiu waved her hand to let them go, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Take Hua Fei back quickly."

It was freezing cold outside, luckily Concubine Hua was riding in a warm sedan chair, otherwise her distraught look would have been visible to others.

"My lady, how could you say such a fatal thing like that?"

"What if the Emperor investigates?"

Yixiu picked up the plush ball beside her and didn't care at all.

"Why should we hide the evil that a man does for his own ambition? It doesn't bring any benefit and only makes enemies. There's no need."

After saying that, he buried his head in the back of the little princess Sanhua, and a muffled voice came.

"Xiaobai, don't be too love-sick. I'll definitely find you the most handsome raccoon cat later."
