Chapter 239: The situation is pressing, angering Concubine Hua
"In that case, Jinxi, go get Chang Xiangsi."
After a moment's silence, Zhen Huan turned to look at Jin Xi and gave instructions.
"Little Master."
Jin Xi wanted to speak up to stop the young lady, but now that Zhou Ninghai had said so much, there was nothing she could do to stop the young lady from going to Concubine Hua to suffer this humiliation. She could only watch as the young lady was forced to go.
"Go."
Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi expressionlessly and said.
The situation was pressing now, and she knew very well that it was Concubine Hua who was deliberately making things difficult for her, but now she could only go with the flow.
"Huan'er, I'll go with you."
Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang spoke to Zhen Huan.
She wanted to see what trouble Concubine Hua could make. She would never allow Concubine Hua to humiliate Huan'er so openly.
"Sister Mei, you don't need to go. Since the emperor has only asked me to go, and it's late at night and the dew is heavy, you should hurry back to your own palace."
Zhen Huan naturally would not agree to let her sister Mei go with her to suffer such humiliation. It was enough for her to go alone.
Anyway, Concubine Hua can only humiliate herself in this way, it's just playing the piano.
Hua Fei couldn't do anything to herself. The Emperor was still there and would definitely not let Hua Fei act too presumptuous.
"Huan'er, now that I've heard about this, I have to go and join in the fun."
Shen Meizhuang was also unwilling to let Huan'er go to Yiku Palace alone to suffer from Hua Fei's harassment. With one more person accompanying her, Hua Fei would not do anything too excessive.
What's more, she often goes in and out of Shoukang Palace now, and Concubine Hua will not be too harsh on her for the sake of the Empress Dowager.
"Sister Mei."
Zhen Huan cried out somewhat helplessly, but she knew that she could not persuade Sister Mei tonight.
"Eunuch Zhou, I think the queen won't mind if I'm alone."
Shen Meizhuang turned her head and looked at Zhou Ninghai with a cold tone and asked.
"This is natural."
Of course Zhou Ninghai would not refuse. This Concubine Hui was also someone the Empress hated. Since she was going to go along and be humiliated, he would naturally be happy to see it happen.
"Then please come in, young masters."
Zhou Ninghai raised his eyebrows and said to the two of them.
Zhen Huan looked at Sister Mei and smiled. She knew that it would be useless for Sister Mei to go over there, but with Sister Mei accompanying her, she just felt warm in her heart. Even the humiliation she was about to suffer did not upset her so much.
Soon, the two went to Yikun Palace together.
"Greetings to His Majesty and Empress Hua. May His Majesty be well and may Empress Hua be well."
"Get up."
The emperor looked at Shen Meizhuang who followed him with some confusion.
"Princess Hui, why did you come here? It's late at night and the frost is heavy. You are already weak. You should stay in the palace and take good care of yourself."
The emperor felt guilty towards Shen Meizhuang. After all, Shen Meizhuang lost a child because of Concubine Hua, but he did not seek justice for Shen Meizhuang.
So when he saw Shen Meizhuang also coming over, he understood. Huipin and Wan Guiren had always been good friends, and she must have been worried about Wan Guiren coming over alone, so she followed over.
The two of them were indeed rare good sisters in the palace, and their friendship even surprised the emperor.
"It is because the night is deep and the frost is thick. I am worried that Huan'er will have trouble walking alone, so I followed you here. I hope Your Majesty does not mind."
After Shen Meizhuang bowed to the emperor, she answered.
"Of course not."
The emperor spoke.
Concubine Hua looked at the two people who had plotted against her in the past, and now they could only stand in front of her and accept her humiliation. The joy in her heart was self-evident.
"One more person means more fun, which is definitely not a bad thing."
"What's more, Huipin also showed her piano skills at the banquet before, which allowed all the sisters in the harem to see Huipin's superb piano skills. I wonder if I will have the blessing to listen to Concubine Wan and Huipin playing a piece together today?"
"Since your majesty wants to listen, then I will naturally not refuse."
Shen Meizhuang had a cold face and looked straight at Concubine Hua.
The more Concubine Hua wanted to humiliate them, the less she would pretend to be pitiful to please her.
Anyway, with the emperor around, she couldn't do anything out of line. What's more, the more she humiliated herself and Huan'er in front of the emperor, the worse the emperor's impression of her would be.
Now that this humiliation is unavoidable, we might as well make the most of what happens today.
She didn't mind playing a trick in front of the emperor.
Zhen Huan didn't understand why Sister Mei wanted to anger Concubine Hua, but she thought Sister Mei must have her reasons.
Sure enough, the next second, Sister Mei gave her a look.
Zhen Huan's heart moved. The tacit understanding over the years made her have some guesses, but her face remained calm.
"Tonight is a beautiful night with beautiful scenery. Why not play a romantic song to liven up the mood?"
Hua Fei's lips curled up, but her eyes turned obviously cold.
He's already been defeated by me, but he still dares to act so noble in front of me. It's extremely disgusting to see him.
Zhen Huan's pupils shrank, but she had no intention of speaking.
This is just an appetizer. Concubine Hua is so cruel and ruthless that she will definitely not let them go so easily.
"Yes."
Zhen Huan subconsciously looked at the emperor, but the emperor avoided her gaze. She understood what was going on, and it seemed that the emperor had no way to stop her.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, and Shen Meizhuang took the lead.
Zhen Huan understood Shen Meizhuang's intention immediately and quickly followed her rhythm.
Soon, a sad piece of music sounded in Yiku Palace.
"This song is good, but it doesn't sound sentimental to me."
Concubine Hua frowned. Actually, she didn't know much about these pieces of music and couldn't understand what they meant at all. However, the style of the music sounded cold and it didn't sound like a romantic song at all.
Concubine Hua was very suspicious that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were playing tricks on her, so she took the initiative to interrupt their playing.
The emperor did hear some clues, but he didn't intend to point them out.
He was already very unhappy about being threatened by Concubine Hua in a seemingly coquettish tone, and now seeing Concubine Hua being humiliated, he was naturally happy to watch the show from the sidelines.
After all, it was Concubine Hua who insisted that these two play the piano, so it was her own problem if they couldn't understand.
"Reverend Wan, you and Concubine Hui are not trying to please me, are you?"
Concubine Hua stared at the two of them with an unfriendly look and spoke.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This song is about lovers who are inseparable."
Although these two people died and one went crazy in the end, neither of them got anything good out of it.
Shen Meizhuang raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hua and began to explain.
"Really? But I always feel it's too sad. I don't hear any feelings of reluctance to part."
After staring at Shen Meizhuang suspiciously for a long time, Concubine Hua retracted her gaze and spoke lazily.
