Chapter 289 Flowers and Pastries, Pine Nuts Go Crazy
"Alright, Concubine Hua, the past is the past, why bring it up again?"
"Besides, it doesn't matter whether she is officially named a concubine or not. As long as the emperor is convinced that she is a concubine, isn't that enough?"
Seeing this, the queen also stepped forward and tried to smooth things over.
"If it's there, it's there. If it's not there, it's not there. Some things won't work if they're delayed for even a moment."
Concubine Hua raised her eyes slightly and spoke to the Queen in a sarcastic tone.
Zhen Huan was a little afraid of the cat in Concubine Qi's arms. She always felt that the cat seemed to be looking at her, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"Okay, after talking for so long I think everyone must be tired. Why don't we go sit in the pavilion over there? I have prepared some tea and snacks."
The Queen looked at the fearful look on Zhen Huan's face and her smile deepened a little as she greeted everyone with a smile.
"The snacks and tea in your palace are the best. I am so lucky to have them today."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi quickly spoke up to agree with the Queen.
"As long as you like it."
The Queen spoke.
Concubine Hua glanced at Concubine Qi coldly, and looked down upon her lackey-like appearance.
Everyone followed the queen to the pavilion. After they sat down according to their seats, Jianqiu and a group of palace servants placed the tea and snacks one by one.
"Ah, your majesty, this dessert looks like it's made of flowers, right?"
Concubine Qi said as she looked at the snacks in the bowl with some surprise.
"Concubine Qi has a good eye. These snacks were made by the small kitchen in my palace using the flowers we saw today. I think these snacks would be perfect for this flower viewing banquet, right?"
The queen smiled and explained.
"Your Majesty, these snacks are delicious. Can I take some back with me?"
Seeing this, Chun'er looked at the queen a little embarrassedly and asked.
"Of course you can. If you like, you can take some with you when you go back later."
When the Queen saw Chun'er also spoke in agreement, the smile in her eyes became more obvious.
Fu Cha Zhixi glanced at the exquisite snacks and tea in front of him indifferently, and had no intention of tasting them.
Who knows what tricks the Queen is playing? Now that Noble Lady Fucha's powder is gone, Songzi still makes her appearance, which means that Songzi is bound to perform on stage today.
You never know what's hidden in these snacks and tea that could drive wild cats crazy. To reduce the risk, it's better not to eat these things.
But looking around, all the concubines had picked up a piece of snack and eaten it.
In order not to attract the queen's attention, she thought about it and decided to pick up a piece of dessert and put it to her mouth. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, broke a small piece of dessert into the handkerchief, and pretended to have taken a bite.
The Queen didn't pay any attention to this side. Her eyes were always on Concubine Hua intentionally or unintentionally.
As Zhen Huan looked at the snacks and tea in front of her, she felt even more uneasy. She was no longer stupid enough to think that the Queen was a good person, so she naturally did not dare to eat what the Queen took out.
Although she didn't think the queen would put anything in there openly, it would be troublesome if she did the opposite.
"Mr. Wan, don't you like it?"
Seeing that Zhen Huan had no intention of having snacks, the Queen smiled and asked.
After hearing this, Zhen Huan became more and more uneasy.
Is the Queen planning to attack her today?
But now that Concubine Hua is in her prime, she can actually feel that the Queen hopes that she can fight with Concubine Hua so that she can reap the benefits behind the scenes.
So at least during this period of time, the queen should not do anything to herself.
Zhen Huan couldn't figure it out, but since the Queen had said so, if she couldn't find a suitable reason, she might just have to take a gamble.
"Of course I like you, my lady."
After saying that, under the Queen's gaze, she reached out, picked up a piece of dessert and put it into her mouth.
To be honest, the snack tasted really good, but Zhen Huan was so nervous at the moment that she couldn't taste the snack at all.
Zhen Huan did not notice that Song Nut in Concubine Qi's arms became visibly agitated when the snacks were served on the table.
When the Queen saw Zhen Huan eat the snacks obediently, the corners of her mouth curved up in satisfaction.
However, Concubine Hua looked down upon the things in the Queen's palace and had no intention of eating any of them.
At this moment, a young palace maid was passing by Concubine Hua with tea in her hand. She accidentally fell to the ground, and the teapot was also scattered on the ground.
Hua Fei, who was sitting next to her, naturally had her clothes wet by the tea that burst out of the teapot. When she was about to curse, Song Zi in Qi Fei's arms seemed to be frightened by the sound and rushed towards Hua Fei.
Hua Fei subconsciously wanted to dodge Songzi's attack, but this man's reaction speed was no match for a cat, so she naturally couldn't dodge it.
Seeing this, Songzhi wanted to reach out to stop her, but she felt as if someone pushed her from behind, and she threw herself uncontrollably towards Concubine Hua.
Songzi, Songzhi and their cat completely pinned Concubine Hua under them, and Concubine Hua fell off the stool to the ground in a mess.
However, the cat did not stay with Concubine Hua for too long. Instead, it pounced towards Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan was already frightened by Songzi's sudden action and was completely at a loss for words. She wanted to get up and run away anxiously, but was stopped by the palace servants who came to help.
She could only watch the cat pounce towards her. At this critical moment, a pair of hands pushed Zhen Huan hard from behind.
This made Zhen Huan change direction and pounce towards Concubine Hua, with her whole body pressing directly on Concubine Hua.
Before Hua Fei could stand up again, she was knocked to the ground by another figure. This time, one problem after another arose.
The palace servants around rushed into the pavilion and tried to catch the cat, but how could ordinary people stop a mad cat?
Songzi didn't hesitate at all. Its pair of green cat eyes keenly found the direction of Zhen Huan. The whole cat kicked off the stool and pounced towards Zhen Huan again.
This time, Zhen Huan rolled to the side to avoid the cat's attack, but her lower abdomen hit the stone bench beside her. The sharp pain made her face turn completely pale.
But Concubine Hua, who was at the bottom, was not so lucky. She had already been badly knocked down by Zhen Huan's pounce, and she had no ability to dodge Song Zi's next attack.
She could only instinctively cover her face with her hands, but still couldn't prevent the sharp cat claws from leaving a deep scar on Hua Fei's face.
This made Hua Fei scream subconsciously. The threat of disfigurement made Hua Fei suddenly gain strength. She grabbed Songzi's two front feet with both hands and threw him out with force.
