"Zhen Fei, I didn't invite you here, and you didn't come here on your own initiative. Do you still have me in your eyes?"
Zhen Fei fell to her knees with a thud, "Her Majesty, please understand. When you paid your respects today, the Empress gave me a lot of gifts. I was busy counting them, so I'm late."
The Queen Mother gave Aunt Fang a questioning look, and Aunt Fang nodded.
The Empress Dowager fell into deep thought. The Queen gave gifts to Concubine Zhen for no reason. Was she trying to win over Concubine Zhen?
"Get up and talk."
As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, Aunt Fang personally stepped forward to support Zhenfei, then stepped back and brought in a stool for Zhenfei to sit on.
Zhenfei sat at the Empress Dowager's feet like a weak kitten.
"I was just joking with you, you weren't scared, were you?"
Zhenfei raised her head and looked at him with fear and trepidation.
"Fang'er, tell them to bring in the things that the Inner Court sent today and put them on Concubine Zhen."
Aunt Fang bent down and went out to call for help. Five palace maids came in with a tray. Aunt Fang led Zhenfei to sit in front of the dressing table, untied her hair, and then ordered Xiaoyu to take off Zhenfei's clothes.
Zhenfei was only wearing her nightgown and had even taken off her shoes.
Concubine Shu stood barefoot, like a rag doll. Aunt Fang combed her hair, and with one stroke of the comb, Concubine Zhen's scalp was almost torn off.
"Empress Zhenfei is a filial person. The Empress Dowager also values your filial piety. You should come to the Cining Palace more often."
"Yes." Concubine Shu answered reluctantly.
Aunt Fang took a wide-sleeved dress from the tray and put it on Concubine Zhen without saying anything. "Your Highness, you should go on a diet. Your waist has grown half an inch thicker."
Zhenfei gritted her teeth and suppressed the humiliation in her heart. No matter how respectable Aunt Fang was, she was just a servant. What qualifications did she have to point fingers at her figure? No matter how bad she was, she was still a concubine.
Zhen Fei was not convinced and stood up straight. Aunt Fang put a crown on her head. The crown weighed five or six kilograms and made her breathless.
"Empress Zhenfei, this tiara is inlaid with thirty-six precious treasures, so it is a bit heavy. When you become a noble concubine or an imperial concubine, the tiara will be even heavier."
Aunt Fang lifted Zhenfei's feet and put shoes on her.
"The Empress Dowager is old and hopes to have a little prince by her side. Does Concubine Zhen understand?"
"I understand."
The Empress Dowager's meaning was obvious, how could Zhenfei not understand it?
Although she said that she needed a little prince to accompany her, she was actually urging Zhenfei to give birth to a child as soon as possible. Once the child was born, he would definitely be raised in the Cining Palace.
If Zhenfei wants to see the child, she will be controlled by the Empress Dowager in every way. At that time, the Empress Dowager will use the child as a bargaining chip to force her to kill and set fire, and she will have no choice but to do it.
