Chapter 237: One Stands Out, a Fire Cooks
"Your Majesty, you have been accompanying me alone these days and have not visited my other sisters. Isn't this not good?"
Concubine Hua was very proud that the emperor had been staying in her palace all this time, but she still pretended to be innocent.
The emperor was reading with his head down. After hearing what Concubine Hua said, he couldn't help but look up at Concubine Hua and said.
"In that case, I will go and see Concubine Qi and the others. It is true that I have not visited Concubine Qi for a long time."
"emperor."
When Concubine Hua heard that the Emperor was about to leave, she quickly spoke in a coquettish tone.
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Your Majesty should not go out. It would be bad if you catch a cold."
"I knew you couldn't bear to part with it. You're such a jerk."
The emperor was originally a little unhappy that he had to come to Hua Fei's place, but looking at Hua Fei's lovely appearance, he couldn't help but soften his heart a little.
His thoughts went back to the time when he was in the palace, when Concubine Hua also held him tightly in the same way.
"I still remember when you first entered the palace, I always accompanied you, and even ignored Yixiu who had just become the wife."
"I feel guilty towards Yixiu."
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Hua with an ambiguous look and said.
He knew how much damage that incident had done to Yixiu, but given the current situation, he had no way of really taking any real action against the Nian family.
In this case, it is better to not move, which will actually paralyze the opponent.
But this will only put Yixiu in an inconvenient position. I think Yixiu should understand my predicament.
Although the emperor hated Yixiu for attacking Xier before, he also knew Yixiu's feelings for him.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that."
"Before I entered the palace, the Emperor was always with the Empress."
"The Queen entered the palace earlier, so naturally she has more time with the Emperor than I do. If the Emperor spends more time with the Queen, wouldn't that be unfair to me?"
"Your Majesty should spend more time with me. This will be fair to me."
Hua Fei did not feel that it was unfair to the Queen for her to be on an equal footing with the Queen as a concubine.
But now Concubine Hua’s mind was only thinking about the sweet times she had with the Emperor, and she didn’t hear the hidden meaning behind the Emperor’s words at all.
Hua Fei was not aware that Nian Shou had broken the leg of a member of the Ulanara clan, because Nian Shou did not think it was a big deal at all.
After all, the Nian family, from top to bottom, had always looked up to the sky and did not think that beating up the Ulanara clan was a big deal.
They didn't even take the Queen seriously, let alone the people of the Ulanara clan, whom they disregarded even more.
As for why the Ulanara clan had been keeping silent all this time, it was because they wanted to seek justice from the Queen, which is why they did not cause trouble in the palace last year.
So even Nian Gengyao had never heard of this matter, let alone Concubine Hua.
Therefore, when Concubine Hua heard the Emperor suddenly mention the Queen, she didn't think too much about it and just thought that the Emperor was just mentioning it casually.
When the emperor saw that Concubine Hua did not show any sign of abnormality, he felt something in his heart.
Does Concubine Hua not know about this, or does she know about it but thinks it's not a big deal?
It was not that he did not know that Concubine Hua was somewhat disrespectful to the Queen. In the past, he thought that Concubine Hua was jealous of the Queen's position, so she threw some tantrums.
But now it seems that maybe Concubine Hua didn't take the royal family seriously at all, so she looked down on the Queen and the Ulanara family behind her.
The Emperor's eyelashes slightly concealed the emotions in his eyes, and he continued speaking in an unchanged tone.
"I do want to spend more time with you, but I am now the ruler of a country. The affairs of the previous dynasty are numerous, and the harem is not peaceful with too many people. Naturally, I don't have that much time to come to Yikun Palace to see you."
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say now."
"I know that the emperor is here, but his heart is with others."
Hua Fei pursed her lips, lowered her head and said while stirring the handkerchief in her hand with some displeasure.
Yes, there are more and more women in the harem now, so many that it makes her annoyed just looking at them.
But she had no way to stop the emperor from dividing his time with these women. She felt uncomfortable and painful but could do nothing about it.
"You are being mad at me by saying this."
"When you were in the palace, you were a concubine, and now that you have entered the palace, you are the Concubine Hua."
"There are many people in the palace now, and there are many things to do. You should relax and take care of the harem for me."
"Fuzhen is still young, and Concubine Xuan is busy taking care of the child, so naturally she doesn't have much energy to manage the affairs of the harem."
"Wen Yi is weak, and Jingpin has to spend all her energy to take care of Wen Yi, and she is also too busy."
"So even though the power of the palace is given to the three of you, only you can shoulder this heavy responsibility. The queen is not in good health, so you should bear more responsibility."
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua and said with a smile.
"I understand. I will definitely take good care of the harem for the emperor."
When Concubine Hua heard what the emperor said, her heart sweetened and an uncontrollable shy look appeared on her face.
As expected, no matter how important the empress or concubine is, it is nothing compared to her in the emperor's heart. The person the emperor values most is only her.
"Sister, why did you suddenly want to learn how to make perfume?"
An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha Zhixi with some confusion and asked.
"Alas, this night is long, I have to find something interesting for you and me to do."
"I can't just sit there in this empty palace and stare blankly. Wouldn't that be a waste of this leisurely and relaxing life?"
Fu Cha Zhixi spoke to An Lingrong with a smile on his face.
"That's true. Apart from my sister, Concubine Hua is the only one who stands out in the palace. Even Sister Zhen has been neglected by the emperor."
"Sister, do you think that Concubine Hua will really be promoted to Imperial Concubine?"
An Lingrong looked around and couldn't help but move closer to Fu Cha Zhixi and said.
"No, don't worry."
"This is the typical afterglow of sunset. Concubine Hua and the Nian family can't be so arrogant for too long. We just need to wait and see."
"These things are not simple harem struggles, so they have nothing to do with us concubines in the harem. Now it's up to the emperor to make his move."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong meaningfully and said.
"Sister, what you said does make sense. Now that the general has returned, Concubine Hua is so favored. Her purpose is too obvious."
"Sister, are you saying that Concubine Hua really didn't notice anything unusual about the raging fire?"
An Lingrong asked with some curiosity.
Although she has lost favor now, basically all the women in the palace have lost favor, so she can remain calm and composed.
