The Hundred Flowers Banquet was approaching, and Fei Wan was counting the items needed for the banquet in the palace. She happened to be too busy, so she took the opportunity to persuade Concubine Hua to come and serve as free labor.
Although Concubine Hua's words were directed at her in the past, her attitude towards her gradually became gentle under Fei Wan's offensive.
Even though Concubine Hua has a spoiled personality, she comes from a noble family and is naturally clear about the matter of settling accounts.
Fei Wan was leisurely flipping through the account book. Although Concubine Hua followed suit, the sound of turning pages became increasingly rapid.
Concubine Hua finally couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and said angrily:
"Song Feiwan, are you a fool? You handed all those things over to Wang Dexian without even taking a look? Aren't you afraid that he might cause trouble for you?"
The account book was thrown onto the table, and the loud noise scared Xuetuanzi, who was taking a nap nearby, so much that his hair stood on end.
Fei Wan raised her hand and quickly comforted the kitten. The kitten beneath her hand snuggled up to her palm and lay there contentedly.
Fei Wan had never worried about this matter. Instead, she was afraid that Wang Zhangyin would cause trouble.
Fei Wan rubbed the kitten and turned his gaze to Concubine Hua: "Why are you worried? Wang Zhangyin is an old man by His Majesty's side, so he must be able to do things with confidence."
Seeing her pet Xueying defecting to the enemy and seeing Fei Wan being so nonchalant, Concubine Hua became even angrier.
Before, there was no one in the Central Palace, so she took charge of the palace affairs for a period of time, and suffered losses at the hands of Wang Zhangyin several times.
Even if Fei Wan did not hand over all the affairs to Wang Zhangyin, according to Wang Zhangyin's character, if anything went wrong, he would definitely put the blame on Fei Wan.
It is precisely because Wang Zhangyin has been with His Majesty for many years that he is trusted by Him.
Seeing Fei Wan jumping into the pit, she should have applauded, but she couldn't help but want to pull her back out of the pit.
This innocent look is annoying.
Doesn't this person know that the emperor's favor is the most unreliable?
Concubine Hua looked at Fei Wan for a long time and finally sighed.
Well, Concubine Hua only understood this truth recently.
In the past, she was bewildered by His Majesty's sweet words, until she heard not long ago that the commoner woman favored by His Majesty was actually rejected, and the only reason was that she met Fei Wan.
If His Majesty was willing to spend time and effort on that woman, he must have feelings for her, but she was abandoned so easily.
Concubine Hua couldn't help but think about herself. She used to think that His Majesty treated her sincerely, but she ran into him several times in the non-evening palace, and he was always cold to her.
He stayed in Concubine Hua's palace not long ago because his previous dynasty needed the support of her mother's family.
If... she loses the power of her mother's family, will His Majesty treat her the same way he treated that woman?
That was why she was limited to the rank of Imperial Concubine and could never be promoted higher. If she angered His Majesty, she and her mother's family would face an irreparable fate.
After Hua Guifei thought it through, she no longer harbored any hostility towards Fei Wan. Instead, she felt a little sorry for Fei Wan, the silly girl, who had been kept in the dark.
But no matter how much she pitied her, Concubine Hua could not become friends with her, and some words were only said briefly.
Concubine Hua was a bit disappointed with Fei Wan and didn't follow any rules in front of her: "Think it over carefully. I'm really dizzy and my head is spinning. I'll take my leave first."
Concubine Hua was about to leave with her maid when she heard Fei Wan's voice.
"Flower."
Concubine Hua snorted and turned around: "What? Have you thought it through?"
Fei Wan pointed at the cat beside him and said, "Xueying hasn't been taken away yet."
Concubine Hua was stunned. She didn't even let the maid hold the cat. Instead, she went forward and took the cat away herself. She glared at Fei Wan and walked out angrily.
Thinking back on the look Concubine Hua gave her before she left, Fei Wan found it quite funny.
She was not surprised at all by Concubine Hua's change of attitude. This was exactly what she had brought about through subtle influence. Of course, it was also thanks to Xiao Heng's own indifference towards Concubine Hua.
Fei Wan wanted to keep Concubine Hua away from Xiao Heng not only for his own plan, but also because he didn't want her to get hurt too much.
In the original plot, she was foolishly used to target the original owner, but she had good intentions and did not cause any substantial harm, but in the end she was still framed for murdering the queen.
The palace affairs have been almost dealt with. It seems that it is a good thing for Concubine Hua to stay away from her and Xiao Heng at this time.
Fei Wan picked up a cup of freshly poured tea from the table. Just as she was about to drink it, she caught a glimpse of the palace maid serving beside her looking a little nervous.
