Chapter 472 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 7]
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua learned that Youyou's ceremonial procession into the palace was actually the imperial concubine's ceremonial procession, and she couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in her heart. She angrily threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere. Then, she grabbed a few precious porcelains around her and smashed them to pieces without mercy.
Concubine Hua gnashed her teeth in anger and cursed, "Why did that bitch enter the palace with the imperial concubine's guards? The emperor wants her to be superior to me! The emperor clearly wants to make that bitch a noble concubine, otherwise why would he use the imperial concubine's guards to welcome her! I am only a concubine now, and she dares to put me one level lower!"
Seeing this, Songzhi quickly ordered the servants to clean up the porcelain fragments on the floor, then walked to Concubine Hua, gently massaged her waist, and advised in a steady tone: "Your Majesty, calm down. Why are you so angry? We just need to win the emperor's heart. Even if Shufei becomes Shuguifei, what can it matter? With your status and charm, plus the power of the general, you will become Guifei or even Huangguifei sooner or later."
After hearing Songzhi's words, Hua Fei's expression eased a little, but there was still a gleam of unwillingness in her eyes. She took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner anger, and slowly asked, "By the way, are all the gifts for Shu Fei ready?"
Songzhi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Hua Fei nodded slightly, with a hint of sneer on her lips: "Good, very good. I want to see how powerful this Shu Fei is. She dares to show off in front of me. Now that she has entered the palace, I will definitely treat her well in the future."
"Let Zhou Ninghai deliver it and say that I am congratulating Sister Shufei on entering the palace. By the way, it must be more than what the Queen sent." Hua Fei said.
"Yes, I will go down and tell Zhou Ninghai right away." Songzhi said.
"Yes, go ahead." Hua Fei said.
When Songzhi reached the door, Concubine Hua suddenly said, "Wait!"
Songzhi turned back to Concubine Hua and asked in confusion, "What else does the Queen want me to do?"
Hua Fei raised her eyes slightly, a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly: "Remember to tell Zhou Ninghai to let Shu Fei know my good intentions."
Songzhi nodded in understanding and left quickly.
In Jingren Palace, the queen was practicing calligraphy at the table, each stroke of her writing looked so focused and elegant. Jianqiu walked gently to her side and whispered, "Your Majesty, drink some water. You have been practicing for a long time."
The queen stopped writing, took the cup of water, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Well, okay."
Then, she looked up at Jianqiu and asked softly, "Jianqiu, is today the day when the beauties of the Manchu and Mongolian flags enter the palace?"
Jianqiu quickly replied: "Your Majesty, yes, the one from Chengqian Palace has arrived, and the other noble ladies have also arrived."
The Queen nodded slightly and said calmly, "Oh, I see. Then you go and give the gift I prepared to Concubine Shu, and let Huichun, Xiuxia and Randong deliver the rest."
Jianqiu nodded, agreed, and prepared to leave. However, she had only taken a few steps when the queen called her back.
The queen frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "By the way, did the person in Yikun Palace have any reaction?"
"It is said that Concubine Hua is angry with the boss." Jianqiu said softly, with a hint of pleasure in her voice.
"That's good. With Concubine Hua here, let her fight with the Niuhulu clan, and I can just sit back and reap the benefits." The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "By the way, by the way, have you delivered the things I asked you to deliver to Chengqian Palace?"
"Your Majesty, we can't enter Chengqian Palace at all. All the people there are selected by the Emperor himself. No one else can do anything about it. I have no choice." Jianqiu said helplessly.
"Oh? It's so strict..." The queen frowned, but soon regained her composure, "What about the other concubines?"
"They are all our people." Jianqiu replied respectfully.
"If Concubine Shu doesn't have it, then so be it. I don't believe she can manage Chengqian Palace so well. Once she enters the palace, she will be caught sooner or later." A hint of coldness flashed in the queen's eyes. "Niuhulu is one of the few Manchu military flags in the palace, and her family background is prominent, unlike my Ulanara family, which has fallen on desolate circumstances. If she really gives birth to a child, my position will be in jeopardy."
"Don't worry, your majesty. We will never let her succeed." Jianqiu comforted.
The queen sighed softly: "I hope so. The fighting in the harem is really exhausting. But I must keep my position and not let anyone threaten my position."
The next day, the Han army also entered the palace. Upon seeing this, Youyou ordered Zixia to give gifts to the ladies who entered the palace. After all, she was a concubine and was listed in the royal jade book, unlike those noble ladies who were often concubines.
