The selection of concubines took a whole day to complete.
Feng Wanwan was extremely focused that day, her nerves were on edge, and she didn't get a good night's sleep.
When the palace selection was finally over, Concubine Hua immediately took Feng Wanwan back to Yikun Palace.
Feng Wanwan was fed by her wet nurse and changed into clean and warm clothes. She lay in Concubine Hua's arms, her eyelids drooping.
At that time, Concubine Hua had already eaten, removed her makeup, and sat in front of the dressing table, letting Suzhi apply skin care cream on her.
There was no one around, so Suzhi spoke in a low voice.
"My dear, Nanny Xin came just now and said that the Queen Mother has arranged the positions and living quarters for the selected young ladies. I want you to take a look."
"Well, let me take a look." Concubine Hua picked up the list on the table and looked through it.
Feng Wanwan, who was originally drowsy, immediately opened her eyes and looked at the list.
But the lights were dim at night, and she was lying horizontally in Concubine Hua's arms, so it was not convenient to see the words on the list from this angle.
Just when I was getting anxious, Suzhi spoke again.
"Master, Fu Yuanchun was indeed arranged to live in our Yikun Palace. The Queen Mother did this on purpose, deliberately arranging someone to come in and annoy you.
Otherwise, I and Zhu Yinghuai will go back and think of a way to get this Fu Yuanchun out."
"Kicking me out would be exactly what the Queen Mother wants, wouldn't it? She would use the excuse that I'm intolerant and force the Emperor to punish me and force me to hand over my authority over the six palaces."
Concubine Hua shook her head and chuckled.
"So, this Fu Yuanchun can't be kicked out."
"But this Fu Yuanchun is obviously the Queen Mother's man. If he stays in our palace, it will not only make things inconvenient for the Master,
I can see the emperor every day and every night. If I take away the emperor's favor, this..."
Suzhi was an impatient person and spoke her mind directly.
Concubine Hua's smile became even more intense.
"Suzhi, if a man truly loves you, even if you don't compete for his favor, his heart is still with you.
If he doesn't love you, no matter how tightly you tie the fence, he will find a way to get out and find someone else.
I believe in the Emperor's feelings for me."
[Huh, I originally thought my mother was just obsessed with love, but I didn't expect her to be able to say such wise words.]
Isn't this what we used to say: if you bloom, butterflies will come, and the blessed don't have to rush?
[But is this big pig's heart towards my mother really trustworthy? ]
Feng Wanwan began to ponder the problem from the daytime again.
She saw Big Pig Hoof Dad acting during the day, but she was still a little confused about why Big Pig Hoof Dad wanted to act.
Are the feelings of Big Pig's Hoof Father for Queen Hunfang really as deep and influential as described in the original book?
Concubine Hua did not directly answer Feng Wanwan's question.
She just said silently in her heart: Baby, whether it is worthy of trust is not expressed in words, but in actions.
Mother can’t explain so much to you right now, but you are so smart, you will definitely see the truth soon.
Suzhi nodded immediately.
"That's right. It goes without saying that the Emperor has feelings for the Master. Even if Fu Yuanchun comes in, he can't take the Emperor away.
But she is an eyesore here after all."
“The Queen Mother wants to plant a spy in my palace, so let her stay.
After all, this Fu Yuanchun isn't someone we really need to be on guard against."
Concubine Hua waved her hand indifferently.
This time, not only Suzhi, but even Feng Wanwan was surprised.
"Master, do you mean to say that Fu Yuanchun is not the Queen Mother's man?
Could it be that the Queen Mother's real chess piece is someone else?"
Whether Fu Yuanchun is the Queen Mother's subordinate is still open to discussion, but she is definitely not the one the Queen Mother truly wants to use; she is just a cover.
[However, I really didn't expect that my mother's mind is becoming clearer and clearer, and she actually saw through this truth.]
[As expected of my mother, a woman of both beauty and wisdom! ]
Being praised by the baby again, Concubine Hua was happy in her heart. A happy smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She nodded slightly and said again.
“However, I don’t know who the Queen Mother’s real chess piece is yet, so I will just wait and see who reveals his true intentions.
But since she has already entered the Yikun Palace, we have to pretend to be nice."
"Yes, Master, I understand!"
Suzhi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked a little excited.
[Just pretend? What kind of pretend?]
Feng Wanwan didn't quite understand what her mother meant.
But in fact, she didn't have to wait long, she would know the true meaning of this sentence the next day.
But then Suzhi said again.
"This Fu Yuanchun is fine, my master, but what about Zhen Qia?
Zhen Cai looks 50% similar to the portrait of Queen Hunfang. Even the Queen Mother was surprised. If such a person enters the palace, it will definitely be bad for you.
Why did you ask for her to stay?"
During the palace selection, she was standing not far behind Concubine Hua and was shocked when she saw Zhen Cai's appearance.
At that time, she thought that her master must not allow such a person to enter the palace, otherwise it would definitely endanger her master's position in the palace.
Feng Wanwan also perked up when she heard this.
She was looking forward to Zhen Cai entering the palace because the plot required it, but her mother already knew that Zhen Cai looked similar to Queen Hunfang, so why did she still let this person enter the palace?
Doesn't she worry that the big pig's hoof, because of his obsession with Queen Hunfang and his old feelings, would treat Zhen Cai as a substitute and dote on her to the utmost, endangering her position?
