Chapter 24 Doctor Wen is here

The one who attacked Lady Fang must have been an old man in the palace.

If it's not Concubine Hua, then it must be the Empress, Concubine Qi, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, Concubine Li... Everyone is a suspect.

She didn't know whether Suiyuxuan had any spies from the other side, so she didn't dare to dig the osmanthus flowers directly, so she loosened the soil of all the flower trees in Suiyuxuan's yard.

But after being busy for most of the day, let alone sitting under the osmanthus tree.

There was nothing under the pear tree or the crabapple tree either.

It is impossible for Concubine Hua to lie to herself. Could it be that the information she knew was wrong and someone deceived her?

Or maybe that person noticed something and took the things away in advance?

Jiang Fuhai came over to convey the Empress's decree, stating that the new young lady would have to prepare to sleep with the Emperor from tomorrow evening. He glanced at the newly turned soil and the flower hoe next to it, became cautious, and asked another question.

"My lady, you are so elegant that you actually loosen the soil for the flowers yourself?"

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. I heard that the crabapple trees in Suiyuxuan will no longer bloom this spring. I thought of loosening the soil so that they might bloom next year."

After Jiang Fuhai left, Kang Luhai congratulated him repeatedly.

"Congratulations, my lady. You must be the most favored of the new ladies."

Even if there was such great wealth and honor, one had to be alive to receive it. She was just afraid that she was not blessed enough to accept this first favor.

Jiang Fuhai just asked, could it be that the person who did this was the empress?

When Zhen Huan thought of this, her heart skipped a beat.

Kang Luhai said: "The young lady can just ask Xiao Yinzi and the others to do the dirty work of loosening the soil and planting flowers in the future. There is no need to dirty your own hands and make people laugh at you."

That’s right, every lady in the palace is a noble lady, how can she loosen the soil by herself?

No wonder Jiang Fuhai asked one more question, it must be impolite.

But she was looking for something just now, so she had to do it herself.

"Thank you, Eunuch Kang, for your reminder."

Zhen Huan thought that Kang Luhai was also an old man in the palace, so she gave him the crab meat cake, saying that it was for the purpose of serving the master better in the future. She was afraid of breaking taboos, so she asked him about the affairs in the palace.

Then I learned about the existence of Chun Yuan.

She thought that the reason why she was able to enter the palace, why she was targeted, and why she was hated, was probably here.

Zhen Huan thought she was worried and couldn't sleep at night, but her muscles and bones relaxed and she slept well at night.

Things in the world always seem to develop in unexpected directions.

Early the next morning, Zhen Huan asked Huanbi to go to the Imperial Hospital to find Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu took the young lady's pulse and didn't find any major problems. But when Huanbi came and said that the young lady was not well, he took the pulse extra carefully.

"Thinking too much can damage your spleen and stomach. Is there something on your mind, young master?"

Zhen Huan said honestly: "I heard some sounds that I shouldn't have heard."

"If you shouldn't have heard it, then try to forget it."

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, then asked expectantly, "I wonder if you still take the promise I made outside the palace that day seriously?"

Wen Shichu immediately stated: "Of course! You will always be my priority."

Zhen Yuandao knew that Wen Shichu's father had saved her life. Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu knew each other when they were young and were childhood sweethearts. Before the selection, outside the palace, Wen Shichu had privately proposed to her and promised to protect her for life.

But Zhen Huan didn't agree.

At this moment Wen Shichu thought she had changed her mind.

Even though Sister Huan had been chosen as the emperor's concubine, he was willing to give up everything as long as she said the word.

He wanted to call her "Sister Huan", but then he thought Huan'er was not such a person who did not follow the rules, and was afraid that he would think too much, so he said, "Just give your orders, young lady."

"I don't want to sleep with you."

The harem is full of intrigues and she has made enemies for no reason. If she wants to be favored, she is afraid that she will follow in the footsteps of the noble lady.

Wen Shichu gave her some advice, saying that since she had entered the palace, it was only a matter of time before she became the emperor's favorite.

It is better to start early than late.

But Zhen Huan made up her mind that she would never serve the emperor in bed, no matter day or night.

She didn't like the emperor in the first place, and on the day of the beauty pageant, the emperor didn't seem to like her either. There was really no need for her to risk her life for an old man.

It might even implicate the Zhen family.

…

"Greetings to Concubine Hua."

In the afternoon, Jiang Fuhai came to Yikun Palace. He bowed and said expressionlessly, "The Empress has something to do. Please go to Jingren Palace."

Fuzi is not dead, and the 10-foot-long scarf has not been given. What does the Queen want me to do now?

"Did you say what it was about?" Nian Shilan asked.

"I dare not interfere in the masters' affairs." Jiang Fuhai replied.

Nian Shilan's eyes were filled with annoyance. "I understand. I'll change my clothes and leave."

[Is the Queen out of her mind? ]

[Today the bride will sleep with the emperor, and the emperor will definitely come. She is usually most afraid that I will steal her favor, so why do you want me to come here now? ]

The Queen was pruning chrysanthemums in the courtyard when she heard Nian Shilan's cursing voice coming faintly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Jiang Fuhai's voice came a step later: "Hua Fei is here——"

"I wonder why the Queen has called me here at this time?"

"At this time, I thought my sister would wake up from her nap, so I asked someone to call you over. The greenhouse has grown green chrysanthemums. I think they are new, so I asked someone to send two pots over. You can take them back later."

The budding green chrysanthemums are placed in the palace. When they bloom, they will emit a fragrance that is better than the fragrance of Huan Yi.

The queen thought.

[How can Lu Ju be as novel as you? You are doing nothing wrong and no one is bothering you, so why are you plotting against me? ]

Nian Shilan glanced at Lu Ju, bent her index finger, and gently stroked the petals with the back of her finger.

[She is indeed cute, but she is the favorite of that bitch Shen Meizhuang. ]

[Humph, like flowers, like people, green chrysanthemums, green nobles. ]

[After she is favored tonight, the Emperor will give her these green chrysanthemums as a reward, and also intends to allow her to assist in managing the six palaces. She is determined to compete with me.]

[I am not interested in things that others like. 】

When Nian Shilan withdrew her hand, a few petals fell off.

The Queen was surprised: Was it Shen Meizhuang who was favored first?

She also thought that the newcomer would be Zhen Huan, who looked like Rouze.

"Your Majesty, you have good intentions. Unfortunately, no matter how rare chrysanthemums are, they are still common and a little petty. I think being a flower is like being a person. It should be full of flowers and be lively and beautiful."

Nian Shilan placed her hand on the withered branch beside her, glanced at it with her little eyes, and smiled.

The queen didn't even need to hear her thoughts to know that she had some little thoughts again.

Sure enough, Nian Shilan said provocatively with a fake smile:

"If the Queen is really kind, when the flowers bloom, will you give me two?"

Her emphasis is on “this flower.”

Jianqiu was upset on behalf of her master, "That's Peony, Hua..."

The Queen raised her hand to signal Jianqiu to shut up, still smiling as she said:

"It's just two flowers. If you like them, I will definitely pick out two of the reddest, most gorgeous, and most passionate ones to send to you when the peonies bloom next spring."

Nian Shilan: “…”

[Did the Queen take the wrong medicine? ]

[Don't you usually bully me for not having much education and always like to stab me with your words? Why are you so easy to talk to today? ]

[Could it be that the Emperor is here? Is this concubine trying to secretly harm me again? ]

Nian Shilan looked back warily.

There was no movement at the door.

The queen saw every little movement of hers, and the look in her eyes became inexplicably softer.

"Then I will wait to thank the Empress for her kindness?"

【It's boring.】

Jianqiu looked at Concubine Hua with dissatisfaction: her own queen was so generous that she even gave her Peony as a reward, but she couldn't even express her sincere gratitude.

The Empress is too kind!

At this time, Jiang Fuhai sent a message saying that the imperial physician Wen Shichu wanted to see him.

【Hey, Dr. Wen is here. 】
