Chapter 7 Concubine Hua’s Teachings

When Concubine Hua saw Xia Dongchun giving her a big gift, she happily mocked her mother's family for not being as good as hers, for her appearance was still inferior to hers, and for the queen who was old and faded.

From her point of view, the queen's throne should belong to her, not the queen in front of her who always opposes her and usually behaves long and short.

An Lingrong pursed her lips and looked at the domineering Concubine Hua sitting on the chair. She couldn't help but focus on the queen, waiting for the queen's counterattack against Concubine Hua.

In terms of IQ, none of the ten Chinese concubines can keep up with the queen who strategized in the early stages and felt that everything was under control.

As expected, the queen smiled in the face of Concubine Hua's difficulties, and first asked Xia Dongchun, who was half-kneeling, to stand up. Compared with Concubine Hua, she appeared to be magnanimous and virtuous. At the same time, she pointedly said: "The right to manage the harem has always been with me. As for my sister, I haven't managed the trivial and complicated affairs of the harem for a long time. Now that there is a problem with Xia Changzai's etiquette, it must be because of the problem with the servants that my sister arranged to teach the sisters in each palace. Why is it that I am blamed again?"

Before Concubine Hua could speak, the Queen pretended to suddenly realize it, and said: "I am not considerate, I forgot that my sister is the most favored by the Emperor, and I have no time to take care of the affairs of the harem. Why don't I finish today and tell the Emperor Since this matter has arisen, it would be nice for my sister to temporarily put down her power to co-manage the Sixth Palace."

This seemingly light counterattack actually not only conveyed to everyone that Concubine Hua was arrogant and unreasonable, and that she was threatening the power of the Sixth Palace, but also explained that Xia Dongchun's etiquette was not good, and it was a joke. In fact, it was Concubine Hua's problem, and she would go there now. Report this matter to the emperor to counterbalance Concubine Hua's previous tardiness and early departure.

When Concubine Hua heard the Queen's intention to deny her right to co-manage the Sixth Palace, she subconsciously glared at Xia Dongchun who stood up, and then said something lightly.

After today's visit to all the sisters is over, she will naturally talk to the emperor about the servants' poor teaching, so she won't bother the queen.

The queen agreed to Concubine Hua with a smile, and then talked about the fact that the emperor was busy with the financial problems of the previous dynasty recently. Naturally, the harem must cut down on expenses. Don't be like Concubine Hua, who eats the best, wears the best, and wears the best clothes all day long. the best.

The concubine sitting below nodded in agreement, which made Concubine Hua unhappy for a while.

She never followed the Queen's will. The Emperor's desire to save money was a matter for the previous dynasty, not for the harem.

Ever since, in An Lingrong's surprised eyes, Concubine Hua turned to Songzhi and said, "The green jade sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year is not so transparent. It is not suitable for me to bring it. I will distribute it to you later." The new sister."

Without waiting for the other concubines to speak, Concubine Hua, who originally wanted to make fun of the queen, looked at the queen with an unkind expression and said, "I wonder if the queen has any good jade. Since the queen doesn't like to use it, why not give it to all the sisters? It will also look good." The queen is so generous, and she will give you a little bit of nobility."

The queen understood that Concubine Hua was criticizing her for being frugal and poor, and unable to give out the best green to everyone.

The Queen, who was feeling a little annoyed, said calmly: "You sisters, at your age, have no need for jade, so the color of the jade chosen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs will naturally look greener. If you don't like it, just give it to everyone who has just entered the harem." A concubine is naturally a wonderful thing, I think you will all be grateful."

The queen emphasized that she didn't like it and gave it away casually.

Except for An Lingrong, everyone present was basically from a well-known family. Before entering the palace, they were the ones who picked out the things they didn't like for the servants and gave them away to others.

After entering the palace, their identities were changed. Even if they took the things given by Concubine Hua, they would not dare to easily turn them into jewelry, lest others mistakenly think that they were on Concubine Hua's team in the harem.

Concubine Hua's face darkened. Unexpectedly, the queen easily found the loophole in her words and abruptly changed the rewards given to everyone into things she didn't want and gave away casually.

Although this was her original intention, it was inappropriate for the Queen to point it out so obviously to everyone.

After snorting coldly, Concubine Hua stopped talking.

An Lingrong drank tea, ate delicious snacks, and watched a harem show immersively.

While my heart was filled with joy, I also felt from the bottom of my heart that the harem was really a place for eating people. If I didn't take a good roll and win the favor of the emperor and many concubines, my future life would definitely not be easy.

Because Concubine Hua was defeated in the front, and because Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were reminded by An Lingrong, they did not stand at the front. For a while, Concubine Hua could not think of these concubines who were born under the banner of the Han Army.

Until the queen mentioned that this year's Hanjun Banner-born beauties were selected more than in previous years. Among them, one was named a noble, and two Chang Zai were awarded the title.

Hearing this, Concubine Hua, who had forgotten about this matter, couldn't sit still. She asked Songzhi to fan herself hard to get rid of the anger in her heart, and asked, "Who are Qing Changzai and Wan Changzai?"

As early as the night before, she had discussed the countermeasures with Li Bin. Instead of attacking Shen Guiren, she would have a good discussion on the temperaments of Qing Changzai and Wan Changzai.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other when their names were called, stood up, and saluted politely.

Concubine Hua took a closer look and saw that the two Chang Zai sitting in the back were just as the eyeliner said. They were delicate and charming, which made the emperor recite poems and praise them during the talent show.

Zhen Huan, who was attracted by Concubine Hua, had a look of solemnity and dissatisfaction in her eyes. She had always been arrogant and never wanted to deal with these concubines. She felt aggrieved to be called out by name after only a few meetings.

An Lingrong, who also stood up and came to Concubine Hua, did not miss the dissatisfaction in Zhen Huan's eyes, and joy flashed in her heart.

This grievance is unbearable, so what does the pain she has endured count? How could Zhen Huan still become the queen mother because of her affair, and even murder the emperor.

Protagonist halo?An Lingrong didn't believe it.

"No wonder the emperor is willing to give the two Chang Zai titles. Looking at it, they are indeed outstanding. They are even more elegant than Shen Guiren, who was also born in the Han Army Banner."

"The empress is joking, how can I compare to the empress. Before I entered the palace, I heard that the concubine Hua was considerate of her servants and her family loved her. I heard that the empress could ride a horse. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to come to the empress' palace in the future. Listen to these things."

Concubine Hua was the daughter of a military commander, so she naturally knew how to ride a horse before entering the palace.An Lingrong's words undoubtedly brought back Concubine Hua's memories of the time she spent alone with her family.

Since she entered the palace, no one has ever talked to her about riding horses, only those flattering words surround her ears.

For a moment, Concubine Hua was soothed by An Lingrong, and even her fierce eyes brought back memories of the past, missing the quality of the past.

Queen:? ? ?
Why didn't she know that Concubine Hua could ride a horse?Could it be that An Lingrong was Concubine Hua's brother and that Nian Gengyao specially recruited Chang Zai?

For a time, all the concubines in the palace had other thoughts about An Lingrong.

"You are quite brave. Since you also like riding horses, when I am free, I can ask you to come to my house and listen carefully to the stories of riding horses and hunting with my brother in those years."

Concubine Hua remembered that her brother would send someone to secretly give her money every time he won a battle, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

"You go and sit down first. Doesn't Wan Changzai have anything to say to me?"

"Thank you, Concubine Hua."

An Lingrong returned to her seat, and Zhen Huan, who was waiting for the halo of the heroine, spoke.

At the same time, Concubine Hua ended her recollection and returned to her arrogant attitude, taunting Zhen Huan in a strange way, "Why is Wan Chang Zai's head not working well, and is there something wrong with her ears? I don't even know how to answer any questions. We need to learn more from Qing Changzai.”

Seeing Zhen Huan's lack of makeup and her incompatible appearance with the others, Concubine Hua wanted to tear her face apart with her nails.

With a foxy look on her face, she knew she was seducing the emperor who belonged to her.

"Back to Concubine Hua, I just want to wait for Qing Changzai to finish speaking before answering. I have no intention of not answering."

"Oh? Well, I praised you two sisters earlier, and now it's your turn to praise me."

Zhen Huan:……

Not to make things difficult for her, but to ask her to praise Concubine Hua?

Zhen Huan, who couldn't turn her head for a while, accidentally said something beautiful and fragrant, causing Concubine Hua to point her finger at the queen who was sitting in her seat again.

Before the queen could speak to the rescue, Shen Meizhuang, who had been watching with a cold eye, was resourceful and saved Zhen Huan from the embarrassing situation.

In this way, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang still cannot escape the thought of being missed by Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua snorted coldly again and said: "Shen Guiren is very sharp-tongued. It's a pity that this skill is not used on the emperor. It is a pity that the emperor gives you a title."

"The emperor likes my concubine, so he will definitely give me a title in the future. If he doesn't like my concubine, it will be useless no matter how sharp his tongue is."

Shen Meizhuang tried his best to repel Concubine Hua's words.

She was cautious enough at the critical moment and didn't miss the point.

But the combined conversation between the two was not enough to watch compared to An Lingrong, so Concubine Hua touched the headdress next to her ear and wrote lightly: "Shen Guiren, Wan Changzai is not good at etiquette, so I will be grounded for two months."

Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang was a little unconvinced. Just as he was about to ask Concubine Hua what was wrong with her etiquette, his attention was grabbed by the queen who was watching the drama.

"Although the etiquette is not good, compared to Xia Changzai's previous behavior, Shen Gui and Wan Changzai were grounded for two months, which is a bit biased. It is better to just punish the three of them with one month's salary and let it go."

Concubine Hua was dissatisfied, but she had no way to refute the queen.

After all, she is just a concubine, not an imperial concubine, and cannot compete with the queen on matters of power.

But she couldn't completely comply with the Queen's wishes, so she thought for a while and said: "Since the Queen pleads for them, Wan Chang will be punished by copying the palace rules fifty times and handing them in three days later. Shen Guiren will be grounded for a week and will not be allowed to see the emperor!" "

Seeing that Concubine Hua had taken a step back, the queen could not continue to plead for the two of them.

Anyway, Shen Guiren already had a grudge against Concubine Hua, so she just had to watch the show.

"Just follow what Concubine Hua said. That's it for today. Everyone, please go back."

After everyone knelt down, Shen Meizhuang walked out of the palace angrily. Zhen Huan looked bad at the side. For the first time, she felt that the power of the favored concubines in the harem was so great.
