Chapter 68 The Emperor's Plot
On the way back from Suiyuxuan, the emperor was still a little conflicted. He didn't dare to carry Zhen Huan back, which showed that he had regrets about his past life.
But the shopkeeper said that Sun Miaoqing had someone send a letter of apology and repentance.
He felt relieved immediately.
In the emperor's heart, Sun Miaoqing is a very special person.
It’s not about how much I love you, but it’s very important.
It was an importance that the Empress, Concubine Hua, and Sun Miaoqing themselves had never imagined.
On the day of the palace selection, Concubine Hua said that the one who should be selected was Xia Dongchun, and the one who should never be selected again was Sun Miaoqing.
It was for this reason that the emperor chose Sun Miaoqing to enter the palace.
Sun Miaoqing, who should not appear in this palace, is destined to be a variable in Concubine Hua's life.
As long as she is there, it means that fate can be changed.
The emperor never liked to meddle in the affairs of the harem, and neither Yu Ying'er nor Sun Miaoqing were his favorite women. If the two of them were fighting, he would just raise his hand and let them go.
Or let them go to the Queen themselves to receive punishment.
But he lost his temper that day and punished Sun Miaoqing directly. He also promoted Yu Ying'er to a higher rank in front of her, hoping that she would learn her lesson and be smarter in the future, and not kill herself.
While Sun Miaoqing was still in the period of reflection, the green card of the Jingshifang had not been hung up, but the emperor talked about it with Su Peisheng.
She will sleep with me tonight.
She has been punished and reflected on her mistakes. Courage is her advantage and she must not lose it.
With Sun Miaoqing guaranteeing the emperor's affection, the emperor became bolder.
Although she was not promoted as an exception, the rewards that should have been given to Zhen Huan in her previous life included a gold silk sachet, a cloisonné bracelet, a gold-inlaid pearl and stone orchid hairpin, a Ruyi palace flower... and the Lantian jade flute.
Within an hour, they were all sent to Suiyuxuan.
Since there is no maid in charge of Suiyuxuan, a reliable one will be transferred.
The emperor originally wanted to let the Ministry of Internal Affairs choose one, but Wanwan came back, and her people should go back to her side.
It was also a good opportunity to keep an eye on her for myself.
As long as she stays peaceful and is Wanwan herself in this life, he can ensure that she will have a glorious life.
If anyone dares to have any improper thoughts and humiliates Wanwan, he can deal with it immediately.
So, this is pampering, but also defense.
That afternoon, Huang Guiquan, under the pretext of dealing with matters in the harem, happily came to Yikun Palace, holding a vermilion lacquered box, to express his gratitude to Concubine Hua.
No one else knew how much the emperor gave to Suiyuxuan as a reward, but the Imperial Household Department knew it best.
Without the previous life's Zhen Huan to compare with, only the new lady to compare with each other, they also know that the new lady Zhen of Sui Yuxuan has a bright future.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted. I am ashamed to be inferior to you. Thank you for your love. If it weren't for you, I am afraid I would have offended this new young lady. This is just a little gift from me. It is not a token of respect. I hope Your Majesty will not despise it."
Huang Guiquan opened the vermilion lacquered box in his hand.
Nian Shilan remembered that Zhen Huan was favored in her previous life. Huang Guiquan came to seek protection and brought a bag of silver because he had been wronged by Zhen Huan before.
This time, she held up a box, a double-layered dressing box. On the top was an exquisitely crafted tassel-shaped hairpin inlaid with red jade, gold phoenix, and pearls, and underneath was a stack of banknotes.
Nian Shilan laughed and cursed, "You piece of shit." Very shrewd.
If he were not a smart person, the Nian family alone would not be able to hold the position of the head of the Imperial Household Department.
Huang Guiquan discovered through a small incident that Concubine Hua's vision and perspective are different now than before.
In the past, he relied on the Nian family, and he and the Empress helped each other. From now on, he can probably really rely on the Empress.
When one is not involved in something, one can see many things more clearly.
This was not money from corrupt officials in the court, but a favor from the imperial harem, so naturally Nian Shilan would accept it.
"You are filial~"
Songzhi received the Queen's instruction and took the brocade box with both hands.
"There is no maid in charge of Suiyuxuan. Did the emperor ask you to pick someone to go there?" Nian Shilan asked.
"In reply to your Majesty, the original message was to have the Imperial Household Department prepare, but new instructions came from the front, so the Emperor picked someone himself to go."
"You picked someone yourself? You really dote on her. Who?"
Huang Guiquan raised his eyelids and said carefully, "It was Aunt Fangruo who served before."
Nian Shilan's face darkened: Cui Jinxi left and Fang Ruo came, she is worthy of being the heroine favored by God.
There are always endless assists.
In her previous life, Fang Ruo saved Zhen Huan from danger several times and was even more powerful than Cui Jinxi.
After Huang Guiquan left, Songzhi put away the things and asked:
"After all, she is the emperor's new favorite. Even Huang Guiquan has noticed that she is different from others. Does Your Majesty want to give Sui Yuxuan something?"
Whether it's a gesture of goodwill or a demonstration, something should be done, right?
"Appreciate her?"
Nian Shilan snorted and rolled her eyes, "A jerk like you deserves that?"
[In my previous life, I had rewarded her. I sent her a plate of cakes out of kindness. But she said that when she saw the cakes, she thought of me beating Xia Dongchun with a sword.]
【What? 】
[Did Xia Dongchun get beaten by me because she ate snacks secretly? Or did I beat Xia Dongchun with those snacks?]
【Bitch is just hypocritical! 】
[Xia Dongchun made the mistake first, ignoring His Majesty and causing trouble in the street. I dealt with her according to palace rules. The Emperor didn't say anything, but she was quite willing to talk behind his back.]
[So what if I get disabled? ]
[After all, I am too kindhearted. In my previous life, I should have let Xia Dongchun slap those bastards in the face and let them fight on the street! ]
Nian Shilan was getting angry when Lingzhi's voice came faintly from outside:
"The sun is high in the sky, why doesn't Mr. Shen come in?"
Shen Meizhuang was about to come in, but as soon as she arrived, she heard the empress scolding "bitch" in the corridor.
Her intuition told her that the queen was talking about Huan'er.
He stopped unkindly.
She explained, "I, I was just worried that the queen had just recovered from a serious illness and might not have woken up from her nap yet. I was afraid to disturb the queen, so I would trouble my aunt to let her know for me."
[Zhen Huan is favored, Shen Meizhuang, her good sister, must be very proud, right? ]
[Why are you hanging around in this palace instead of going to Suiyuxuan at this time? 】
[When I heard the voice, I thought of that jerk. It's annoying! ]
When Shen Meizhuang heard this, the corner of her mouth slightly raised: Your Majesty, are you worried that Huan'er will be favored and you will become estranged from her, so you are unhappy?
They have no experience with things in their past lives, so they really don't know. So they can just start over in this life.
She deliberately raised her voice and said:
"If the queen hasn't woken up yet, I'll wait here. When the queen wakes up, just let her know."
