Chapter 55 The Emperor Wants to Open the Screen
Leaning against the plum garden on New Year's Eve, swinging on the swing in spring...
Before entering the palace, Sun Miaoqing had made a series of preparations to replace Zhen Huan and become the most noble woman in feudal society. However, after entering the palace, she failed to replace Zhen Huan, and was very smooth in taking the blame every time.
Yimei Garden Chunchun made wedding clothes for Yu Ying'er.
She really didn't understand. She was clearly standing next to the bridge, so why did the emperor's footsteps change direction?
These old women in the deep palace are really hateful. They are either competitive or misogynistic. They have nothing to do all day long and they just think of ways to torture people.
She really wanted to complain to the emperor, but how should she say it?
The maidservant made a mistake, and the Queen asked her to copy a Buddhist scripture for the Queen Mother. If she was unwilling to do even this, wouldn't she be offending all three big bosses in the harem at once?
If you can’t speak, you can only copy.
Now Sun Miaoqing just wants to finish copying quickly and have a good sleep.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not shared.
An Lingrong, who was not favored by the emperor at all and was also in the Yanxi Palace, was very happy, and now the maidservants around her were also replaced.
Baoya and Baojue were replaced by two older and more stable ones.
Treasures and pearls.
The emperor and the women in the harem treated her like kittens, puppies and little toys and looked down on her. Only Concubine Hua reminded her to be her own pearl and treasure.
It was a beautiful spring day outside, and An Lingrong was putting on her makeup in front of a bronze mirror. She looked left and right, and became more and more satisfied.
After combing my hair up, I feel much more refreshed.
When it comes to vision, it has to be Concubine Hua.
Baozhen brought a pile of clothes and asked, "My lady, which one do you want to wear today?"
An Lingrong glanced back and said, "Let's go for the light willow-colored one."
The queen said she looked better in green.
Baozhen smiled and said, "Young lady is going to see Concubine Hua, and the fabric that Concubine Hua has given her is just right for you."
Who says it isn't?
The Huan Yi Xiang has been re-prepared, and she wants to give it to Concubine Hua.
When they arrived at the Yikun Palace, Shen Meizhuang was also there. While chatting, An Lingrong inadvertently mentioned that Sun Miaoqing had someone build a swing in the Yu Garden.
[Swing?]
[I thought that without Xiao Yunzi, no one would play on the swing, but I didn't expect Sun Miaoqing to know this. ]
[If she wasn't punished, the one sitting on the swing and playing the flute to seduce the emperor should be Sun Miaoqing, right? ]
[The Queen is really a wonderful person. She asked people to copy such a large Buddhist scripture right away. I was wrong to blame her.]
[Calculating the time... Zhen Huan and the Emperor should have met, right? ]
Shen Meizhuang followed An Lingrong's words and said, "At this time, all the flowers in Yu Garden are in full bloom, and the apricot blossoms are particularly beautiful. If your Majesty is interested, I can accompany you to take a look."
"No, you guys go ahead."
[What's so good about apricot blossoms? I want to go and see the emperor spread his wings! ]
I’ve only heard of peacocks spreading their tails, but how come the emperor… can also spread his tails?
Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong didn't quite understand.
After leaving Yikun Palace, Shen Meizhuang was concerned about Concubine Hua's thoughts, so she went to Suiyuxuan and asked Zhen Huan directly.
"Huan'er, have you met the emperor privately these past two days?"
"Your Majesty?" Zhen Huan shook her head repeatedly. She had met a man in Yu Garden, Prince Guo, but not the emperor. "Why are you asking this suddenly, sister?"
"Oh~" Shen Meizhuang said casually, "I was just on my way here and heard the maids talking about how the emperor often came to Yu Garden recently. I thought he was here to see you."
Thinking that she had been discovered by meeting Prince Guo, Zhen Huan covered up by saying, "I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten me. Why would he come here?"
Shen Meizhuang held her hand and said concernedly, "You still don't look very well. Doctor Wen is young after all. Can you change another doctor to take a look? I can ask for the grace of Concubine Hua for you."
Zhen Huan originally thought that since she was not favored, she could just pretend to be sick for a few days, but she did not expect that Doctor Zhang would come every now and then, and she had to rely on taking medicine to maintain her sick state.
She comforted him, "The judge comes here often, saying that it is because of his weak body, so you don't have to worry."
"I saw that you were strong before, how come you became weak after entering the palace?"
Zhen Huan joked, "Maybe the Forbidden City's feng shui is not good for supporting people."
Concubine Hua always said that Huan'er was pretending to be sick to avoid favor, and Zhen Huan always spoke vaguely, so Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but become suspicious.
She didn't ask Zhen Huan to tell her everything, but she didn't want Huan'er to lie to her either.
"Once you enter the palace, you will always be favored. Don't do anything stupid. Try to avoid favor by pretending to be sick. If you are discovered, it will bring trouble to the entire Zhen family."
"How?"
"That's good. It's spring and the weather is warm. You should go out more often and see more sunshine. You will be more energetic. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Huanbi sent Shen Meizhuang out, and Liuzhu came forward.
"My lady, Miss Meizhuang asked this question, maybe she heard something? My lady, are you still not telling her the truth?"
"You just heard it. If you are found out of pretending to be sick, you will be executed. I can't hurt Sister Mei."
Liu Zhu nodded, not quite understanding, "I am just worried about you and Mei Zhuang. Because of this little thing, the sisters will become estranged in the future."
Zhen Huan thought, it shouldn’t be that necessary.
That day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.
The Queen was sitting in the yard reading a book when she overheard Jianqiu and Huichun chatting about the man from Yikun Palace going to Yu Garden early in the morning in a small carriage.
Concubine Hua has always been very powerful, and the fact that she came with a small entourage must mean that she was remembering something from her past life.
And it is most likely related to the emperor, and maybe even to the future empress dowager.
The Queen has not made any move on Zhen Huan, probably because she is jealous of Rouze's influence. The woman who will become the Queen Mother in the future will not be an easy person, and she does not want to make a mistake and let the Emperor remember this person again.
On the contrary, it helped her, which was really a loss.
Concubine Hua went to Yu Garden alone, thinking that there must be something as exciting as the one in Yime Garden, so she did not ask anyone else to follow her and only took Jianqiu out of the palace.
When we got to Yu Garden, we stood on the Qianqiu Pavilion high up in the rockery and took a look.
Even though hundreds of flowers in the garden are competing for beauty, Concubine Hua stands out and attracts everyone's attention.
In terms of beauty, she has never lost.
After finding the direction, the Queen came down from the rockery, left Jianqiu there, and went to look for Concubine Hua alone.
"Hua Fei? You too..."
She pretended to meet him by chance, but Nian Shilan covered her mouth with her hand.
"Pfft!"
The queen nodded immediately.
After all, they had the experience of eavesdropping together in Yimei Garden, so they had some tacit understanding.
Nian Shilan let go of her hand, pointed forward, and said happily:
[Grandpa is coming to entertain his granddaughter soon~~~]
