Chapter 318 Waiting for the east wind, stirring up the sisters
Li Si'er is a person who likes to show off everywhere. It is not difficult to find an expert to throw a stone towards the corner of Li Si'er's eyes.
After Li Si'er was hit in the corner of his eye by a stone, a notice was quickly posted in Longkodo's mansion that a large sum of money was required for medical treatment.
The Fucha family had already prepared a doctor, and after some treatment, the wound at the corner of Li Si'er's eye was quickly healed.
Unfortunately, a small scar was left behind. Fortunately, the scar was not too big and instead added a touch of charm to Li Si'er's face.
Li Si'er, for once, did not make things difficult for the doctor. Instead, he gave the doctor a lot of silver as a reward.
After the Fucha Mansion confirmed that they had succeeded, they quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the palace.
After learning that this matter had succeeded, Fu Cha Zhixi felt even more confident about the realization of this plan.
Now it's time to wait for the right time.
A few days later, news broke in the palace that the Queen had a headache. Because all the imperial physicians had gone to the Nian Mansion, the Queen fell ill but could not find an imperial physician to treat her.
As soon as this incident happened, the whole palace was in an uproar, and the news even spread outside the palace, angering the ministers.
Although Concubine Hua was in the harem, she was the last person to know about this matter.
At this time, Concubine Hua was already immersed in the emperor's favor. Looking at the imperial concubine's clothing sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
She didn't notice at all that the emperor was standing behind her, staring at Concubine Hua.
Naturally, some ministers stood up to impeach Nian Gengyao at the court meeting, but the emperor had no intention of using this incident to punish Nian Gengyao. Instead, he acted like a benevolent monarch and fully understood Nian Gengyao's behavior, which made Nian Gengyao even more proud.
After guessing that the Queen had deliberately put on a show last night, Zhen Huan chose to stand on the Queen's side and help add fuel to the fire.
When she went to the imperial study to serve the emperor, she specifically brought up the story of Duke Zheng defeating Duan Yuyan, and also wanted to tell the emperor that she could understand his intentions.
Zhen Huan couldn't help feeling a little proud when she saw the emperor's admiring look. At the same time, she couldn't help but think of Concubine Xuan. She thought that Concubine Xuan probably wouldn't be able to help the emperor with state affairs like she could.
Otherwise, why did the emperor prefer to summon me to serve in the imperial study instead of Concubine Xuan during this period?
This feeling even reached its peak when he saw that the emperor and he could write the same sentence in such a tacit understanding.
The next day.
As Hua Fei expected, she finally received the emperor's edict, but she did not get the result she wanted.
Not an imperial concubine, just a concubine.
Although Concubine Hua was sad, she had no choice but to accept the order.
As to why the imperial concubine's clothing was delivered, Su Peisheng simply said that it was delivered to the wrong person.
Even though Concubine Hua was very unhappy, she still didn't dare to show any coldness to Su Peisheng. She could only accept the explanation with a grim look, and at the same time, she did not forget to ask Songzhi to send the clothes back.
Su Peisheng was a shrewd man, so he naturally understood why Concubine Hua was angry.
He smiled and said a few words to comfort her, telling her that Concubine Hua would have the opportunity to become Imperial Concubine in the future.
After hearing this, Concubine Hua finally felt a little better.
After hearing the news, Shen Meizhuang was so angry that she rushed directly to Suiyuxuan.
She was very dissatisfied that such a cruel and ruthless person like Concubine Hua could actually become a noble concubine, several levels higher than herself. If this happened, Concubine Hua would probably stir up trouble again.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan used the incident with Concubine Wenxi to comfort Shen Meizhuang.
However, Shen Meizhuang was very worried about the emperor's preferential treatment of the Nian family, and did not take Zhen Huan's comfort seriously. After all, she had seen the emperor's special treatment of the Nian family and Concubine Hua, and she really did not believe that the emperor would really take action to get rid of her in the future.
Hua Fei was very angry because she did not get the position of Imperial Noble Consort that she wanted.
When the emperor came over in the evening, his face still didn't look good.
Concubine Hua thought she had concealed it well, but the emperor's long-term preferential treatment made her completely forget her identity as a concubine.
The Emperor couldn't help but frowning as he looked at Concubine Hua who was obviously unhappy.
This was just because I didn't do what she wanted, but she dared to be so rude to me. Do I have to do whatever she wants in everything I do?
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. It suddenly occurred to him that there was not only Concubine Hua, the daughter of the Nian family, in the Yikun Palace, but also a noble lady named Nian.
He has been in the palace for so long, but he hasn't had time to visit the other person.
He naturally understood that if he went to Noble Lady Nian's courtyard, Concubine Hua would be angry and jealous.
But he just wanted to split the Nian family from within, and it would be even better if the two sisters could quarrel.
Thinking of this, the emperor placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.
"Why, are you dissatisfied with my promotion of your position?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua with a cold tone and asked.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean that."
Concubine Hua didn't expect the emperor to ask this question so directly, which made her panic and she quickly started to explain.
"That's not what I meant. Then why do you have a gloomy face when I came here today?"
The emperor interrupted Concubine Hua without any courtesy.
"Your Highness, Your Highness is just, just."
After talking for a long time, Concubine Hua still didn't dare to ask directly why the emperor didn't give her the title of imperial concubine, causing her to lose face in vain today.
"Are you just not satisfied that I didn't give you the title of Imperial Consort?"
The Emperor now clearly wanted to stir up conflict between the two sisters, so he naturally did not hesitate to anger Concubine Hua, so he said the most unpleasant words.
"I don't dare."
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Hua was so scared that she knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at the emperor's eyes.
"I see there is nothing you dare not do."
"I am mindful of the relationship between you and your brother, so I will not allow your sister to start as a concubine, but will give her the position of a noble lady. I will even arrange for her to be in your Yikun Palace so that you can take good care of her."
"But today I found out that you have never taken care of your sister, and even ordered your subordinates to torture your sister secretly. She is your own sister, how can you be so cruel?"
Of course he was well aware of the hardships that Noble Lady Nian encountered after entering the palace. After all, in order to prevent Noble Lady Nian from entering the palace and colluding with Concubine Hua, they had already prepared spies in advance to keep an eye on Noble Lady Nian at all times, and any unusual movements would be reported immediately.
At this moment, the emperor took this opportunity to severely reprimand Concubine Hua.
Based on his understanding of Concubine Hua, she would definitely cause trouble for Concubine Nian later.
If I favor Noble Lady Nian today, the conflict between the two sisters will probably become more and more serious.
After all, this noble lady Nian had long been dissatisfied with Concubine Hua's deliberate harassment, but she had no choice but to swallow her anger because of her low rank.
