In Zezhi Cottage, broken porcelain was scattered all over the floor, and a priceless hairpin was lying among the porcelain pieces, broken into two pieces.
Aunt Su rushed over after hearing the news, lifted up her skirt and walked around the porcelain pieces to pick up the hairpin, and asked distressedly, "What happened?"
This hairpin is Shan'er's favorite. She is reluctant to even wear it. How come it was smashed into pieces like this?
"Go ask the gold shop master to come and see if it can be repaired." Aunt Su instructed the servants around her.
"What are you repairing?"
Hua Yuanshan, who was lying on the beauty couch, growled. Her makeup had been smudged by her tears and her little face was flushed red.
Aunt Su didn't care about the hairpin anymore when she saw this. She hurried forward and took Hua Yuanshan in her arms to help her calm down.
"Who has wronged you?" Aunt Su asked hurriedly, "Could it be that the virtuous concubine doesn't like you?"
"It's more than just that I don't like it!" Hua Yuanshan cried loudly, stretched out her hands to tear open her skirt, revealing her knees covered with bruises.
"When the virtuous concubine saw me, she said that I didn't know the rules and made me kneel on the ground for half a day..."
Aunt Su was so distressed that she quickly ordered someone to bring the medicated oil.
"How could this virtuous concubine be so unreasonable?" Aunt Su complained, "Don't people say she has a kind heart?"
"She has a heart of a bodhisattva!" Hua Yuanshan gritted her teeth in hatred: "She is a bodhisattva in front of that bitch Hua Yuanzhao, but she becomes a black-faced demon to me!"
Aunt Su stopped moving and asked in surprise, "How could it be?"
That bitch's reputation has long been ruined, how could the virtuous concubine like her?
"Why not?" Hua Yuanshan's face was distorted with hatred, and she gnashed her teeth and said, "She made me kneel on the ground, but she couldn't even be polite enough to call that bitch OK! And she said, and she said..."
"What did you say?" Aunt Su was anxious.
Hua Yuanshan cried, "She also said that she and the Third Prince were a couple... She would rather let that bitch marry the Third Prince than let me enter the house..."
Aunt Su stared in amazement, muttering in confusion: "How could this happen... Think about it, after entering the palace, I did something wrong that violated the taboo of the Concubine Xian..."
"What's the taboo?" Hua Yuanshan could no longer bear it and yelled at Aunt Su: "It's because I'm a concubine's daughter! The daughter of a prostitute!"
How is she worse than Hua Yuanzhao? Just because she is a concubine, she is inferior to that bitch in every way! Even the position of the prince's consort has to be handed over to someone else!
Aunt Su's face turned pale and blue for a long time before she said, "Mother has been a good woman for many years..."
The room was silent, with only the sound of Hua Yuanshan crying surrounding it.
After a long time, Aunt Su spoke up: "Your father has already said that if something like this happens, the Third Prince will at least give you the position of concubine."
Hua Yuanshan sniffed and couldn't help cursing, "So what if she's just a concubine?"
"The virtuous concubine doesn't like me, and she even gave the position of the principal concubine to that bitch... For the rest of my life, I will be suppressed by that bitch and I won't be able to raise my head..."
The more Hua Yuanshan thought about it, the more upset she felt, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Aunt Su's arms and cry.
"You have been with Daddy for so many years, and Daddy wants to marry a wife!" Hua Yuanshan asked crying, "He has never thought of making you his wife... Mother, what should we do..."
Aunt Su held Hua Yuanshan in her arms, her face was as ferocious as a demon, but her voice was exceptionally gentle.
"Don't worry, Shan'er. Your father is just being suppressed by that old hag, so he doesn't dare to support you."
"But..." Hua Yuanshan couldn't bear it. If the new bride came, wouldn't her mother never have a chance again?
"Our Shan'er, just need to calm down and prepare to be a concubine..."
Aunt Su patted Hua Yuanshan's back again and again, and her calm tone gradually calmed her anger.
"Leave the rest to mother."
No one will surpass my mother and sit on the position of the first wife...
…
The Jiaxi Palace was in good order. Concubine Xian was sitting in front of the dressing table, doing up her hair. Suddenly, she reached out and took out a pair of mutton-fat white jade earrings.
"This is quite good." Concubine Xian said casually, "Send it to the eldest daughter of the Hua family. She is at the age of blooming flowers, but it would be pitiful to see her ears bald."
The head maid Biyun took it with a smile: "The Queen is so kind to the eldest daughter of the Hua family..."
The virtuous concubine snorted and rolled her eyes at her.
"My queen, are you really interested in the eldest daughter of the Hua family?" Biyun asked cautiously.
Concubine Xian shook her head, signaling the palace maids to leave, and then she spoke: "Of the two daughters of the Hua family, the eldest daughter is indeed a capable one."
When the hallucinogenic drug Huangliang was popular, the emperor mentioned it to her vaguely.
It is said that after the Huangliang poison was obtained, the entire Imperial Hospital was ordered to get together to research an antidote, but even with the combined strength of the entire Imperial Hospital, they were no match for Hua Yuanzhao.
For this reason, the emperor was reluctant to kill her.
Otherwise, the mere act of escaping from prison and killing the jailer would be enough to make Hua Yuanzhao suffer heavy consequences.
"And that little concubine is ambitious and sinister." Concubine Xian continued, "What do you think that little concubine will do after today?"
Biyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Won't the two sisters of the Hua family fight to the death?"
The virtuous concubine smiled slightly and glared at her, "Why should we interfere in the affairs of other sisters?"
She doesn't like either of these two guys!
