Chapter 276: Forcing the Emperor to Share What He Has
He was totally unaware that such behavior was an attempt to use his brother's power to force the emperor to agree, and his words already treated the emperor as a puppet emperor like Emperor Xian of Han.
The emperor raised his eyes and looked deeply at Concubine Hua without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the entire hall became tense.
Only then did Concubine Hua realize that she seemed to have said something that made the Emperor unhappy, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't think she had said anything wrong.
The emperor was actually so angry. Could it be that the emperor was bewitched by some other little goblins and that’s why he was so impatient with himself?
"Hua Fei, you have been talking for such a long time, aren't you hungry?"
"Let's eat first."
Of course, the emperor would not agree to Concubine Hua forcing him on such a matter.
Although he had been willing to go along with Concubine Hua on some matters before, even when she asked Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui to play the piano for her to humiliate them, since such a thing did not happen to him, he naturally would not think it was a big deal.
But now Concubine Hua was actually forcing her way onto him, which made him feel that his own power was greatly challenged.
It’s fine that Nian Gengyao is now arrogant and domineering, but do you, Concubine Hua, dare to force me like this just by relying on Nian Gengyao’s power?
He originally thought that Concubine Hua asked him to come to dine in order to curry favor, and he felt somewhat touched. But now he realized that Concubine Hua only wanted to ask the emperor for a title for her nephew.
Before, he always felt that even though Concubine Hua was a little spoiled in her dealings with others, at least she had no other agenda towards him. But now Concubine Hua has changed, and has become like other women who only want to gain more benefits from him.
But Concubine Hua was very dissatisfied that the emperor was unwilling to agree to such a small matter. She did not say anything, but just looked at the emperor with pursed lips.
When the emperor saw Concubine Hua acting like this, he sneered in his heart.
We cannot fall out with the Nian family now. Even if we give him this title, it will not mean anything. We will have to take it back sooner or later anyway.
But by then, I'm afraid that it will be more than just this title that will be taken back.
The emperor pretended to be helpless and looked at Concubine Hua with a doting smile.
"Well, then how about giving your brother a first-class male hereditary title and letting Nianfu inherit the title?"
When Concubine Hua saw that the emperor finally compromised, she immediately felt proud and a sweet and wanton smile appeared on her face.
"Your Majesty must make me angry before he agrees to my request."
"I will not obey."
As he said this, he walked forward in a flattering manner and took the initiative to serve a bowl of chicken soup to the emperor.
Where Concubine Hua couldn't see, the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Songzhi inadvertently saw this scene and was shocked, but the next second she saw the emperor's face full of doting smile again.
Songzhi couldn't help but sway her mind, thinking that she must have seen it wrong just now.
How could the Emperor, who dotes on His Majesty so much, look at her like this? I must have seen it wrong.
"It's time for you to take your medicine, Madam."
Chuntao handed the tonic in her hand to An Lingrong.
"I really don't like drinking these things, if it weren't for this child."
An Lingrong spoke with some complaints.
"My lady, things are different now than before. You must drink this medicine."
Seeing this, Chuntao quickly spoke up.
An Lingrong took the medicine bowl reluctantly, pushed away Chuntao's hand that was trying to feed her, picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Okay, I will go get you the candied fruit you like. If you eat sweet candied fruit, your body won't be bitter anymore."
Chun Tao looked at her young mistress's frowning brows and couldn't help but chuckle and spoke.
"Greetings to the young lady. The emperor wants to see the young lady in the West Warm Pavilion today."
Xiao Xia Zi walked quickly into the hall, bowed to An Lingrong, and then spoke.
"Thank you for the trip, eunuch."
An Lingrong winked at Chuntao.
Chuntao walked up to Xiao Xiazi very sensibly and handed her a purse.
After Xiao Xia Zi weighed her purse, she looked at An Lingrong with a smile and continued.
"The emperor has been in a bad mood recently. My lady, please be more careful when serving him."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
An Lingrong smiled with satisfaction when she heard this.
It turned out that what my sister said was right, especially the servants serving the emperor. If they were not given money, there were some things they would not say.
Fortunately, he did not need much money on a daily basis, and his sister took care of him. His monthly allowance had never been deducted, so he had extra money to reward his servants.
"The slave retire."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"When did Nian Gengyao send this memorial?"
The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and asked.
"Your Majesty, I remember this memorial was delivered to the palace during lunch."
Su Peisheng thought for a moment and then spoke to the emperor.
"During lunch, Concubine Hua forced me to give her nephew Nian Fu a title, and now Nian Gengyao's memorial has been delivered."
"It's really interesting to reward the soldiers who pacified Zhuozi Mountain. What do these two brothers and sisters think of me?"
"Su Peisheng."
The emperor's face was as dark as iron. He looked at Su Peisheng coldly and spoke.
"Do you still want this eunuch's head?"
"This slave deserves to die. This slave deserves to die."
"I hope the emperor can make it clear so that I can die with a clear conscience."
Su Peisheng quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the emperor.
"Have your eyes and ears been plugged with someone's silver?"
"People in this palace are communicating with people outside the palace, and you don't know anything about it?"
The emperor had no way to vent his anger on Concubine Hua Nian Gengyao, so he could only vent his frustration on Su Peisheng.
Of course, Su Peisheng did not keep an eye on the palace for him, and as the chief eunuch serving him, this was a dereliction of duty on his part.
"I counted on you to be my eyes and ears, but you are worse than me?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's all my fault."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will strengthen my supervision in the future and never let such a thing happen again."
Su Peisheng also understood that the emperor did not want his life, so although he looked panicked and frightened, he was calm in his heart.
It's nothing more than a few reprimands from the emperor, or at most a punishment from the emperor. As long as you don't lose your life, it's fine.
"Alright, if it weren't for the fact that you have served me for so many years, I would never let you off so easily."
The emperor finally calmed down his anger a little.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Peisheng spoke quickly.
"Go and call Jing'an in."
The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and spoke.
"Your Majesty, Guard Fucha is not supposed to be on duty today, so Guard Fucha is not in the palace at this moment."
Su Peisheng looked at the emperor cautiously and said.
"Then don't you know how to invite him?"
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Su Peisheng impatiently.
