Chapter 238 Condolences to the Whole World
It was not until today that I met Concubine Hua in Jingren Palace.
"A few days ago, I received a memorial that the candidates in Henan province boycotted the exam. I plan to go on a tour to take a look. You have always helped the Queen to manage the six palaces. You are a capable person. After I leave the palace, I would like you to help the Queen to manage the six palaces."
"Although Yue Bin is now a noble concubine, her health has always been poor. It would be more convenient for you to help the queen manage the affairs of the six palaces. In addition, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui can also assist."
The emperor basically took care of everyone present before speaking to Concubine Hua last.
The emperor felt that his little arrangement was very natural. Does this count as expressing condolences to the whole world just for saying a word to you?
The emperor was immersed in the self-touching feeling he had created, and only the empress could guess a little bit of his thoughts from his words.
Hua Fei: I don’t feel touched at all, and I have to work again.
"I obey your command." The number of words Hua Fei was supposed to say was getting fewer and fewer.
"Well~ I'm going out this time, you guys in the harem don't worry about me, just be well, I will be relieved when I go out to do things."
"Your Majesty, I obey your order. Take care." The emperor finally made the purpose of today clear.
The Queen led all the concubines to stand up and kneel before the Emperor to bid farewell.
Concubine Hua, Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Jing, An Lingrong, Concubine Xin, Concubine Chun: Are you on vacation?
Concubine Qi: Can we play mahjong all night long?
The Emperor had told Zhen Huan a few days ago that he was going on a long journey, so Zhen Huan was not excited now. She even felt a little worried. There was no tiger in the mountain, so she had to be more cautious.
The calmer the time, the more likely accidents are to happen.
In the past few days, Zhen Huan has been unable to sleep or eat well because of the baby in her belly. Now every stitch and thread of Sui Yuxuan has been carefully checked, for she is afraid that she will be tricked by others if she is not careful.
The two pregnancies of Sister Mei and Noble Lady Fucha are the best warnings.
The emperor looked at the concubines kneeling upright on the ground, and felt quite gratified that he had thought of caring for them before leaving. He was truly the most steady emperor.
It was worth it for the epidemic. They were so concerned about me that even flying a kite would attract my attention.
The emperor's last gaze fell on Noble Lady Fucha, thinking about the suffering Noble Lady Fucha had endured some time ago. After that incident, Noble Lady Fucha had become much calmer and never used the child as an excuse to pester him and act coquettishly again. The emperor decided to give her some final care.
"Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant, and Concubine Chun is also a foodie. The Queen should build a small kitchen in the Yanxi Palace. If Noble Lady Fucha wants to eat something in the middle of the night, she won't have to bother the Imperial Kitchen. After all, it takes time to deliver the food."
After the emperor said this, he admired himself in his heart for being simply perfect.
Noble Lady Fucha, An Lingrong and Concubine Chun were really happy to hear these words. No matter whether the emperor really cared about them or not, at least they had benefited greatly, right?
Without a rich and powerful man at home, Fucha Guiren suddenly felt that her life was much more hopeful.
Regarding the fact that the Emperor was about to leave the palace, the concubines did not make any additional comments when they paid their respects and left.
Lipin didn't know why, but she suddenly didn't have the strength to serve him any longer.
She was a little tired from being favored so frequently these days.
Forget it, whether to say it or not, doesn’t she know whether the emperor has her in his heart or not?
As for everyone else:
Chun Changzai: Oh yeah, I can have my midnight snack as much as I want from now on!
An Lingrong: That’s right. I can send snacks to all the sisters in the future. It’s finally time to stop eating other people’s snacks for free and then not repaying their favors.
Queen: Can we ask Concubine Hua, who is very capable in managing the six palaces, to pay for setting up a new small kitchen?
Hua Fei: You are dreaming.
The emperor left Jingren Palace first. Under the "loving" gazes of the concubines, the emperor felt that he was so heroic.
They were so reluctant to leave themselves that they were all speechless.
-----------------------------------
The emperor left Jingren Palace and went to Shoukang Palace to bid farewell to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother's cough sounded like it was more severe than in the past few days.
The Emperor told the Empress Dowager to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician on time, but the Empress Dowager had been ill for a long time and only responded casually.
The Queen Mother also felt strange. She was becoming more and more confused about what was going on with her body.
The imperial physician told her to rest, but after leaving Shoukang Palace, she felt refreshed both physically and mentally.
Never mind. The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau are just mediocre ones who can’t cure any diseases.
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager had a very good understanding of each other. Neither the mother nor the son mentioned the rumor in the palace that there was a disagreement between the Empress and the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother thought it would be a good idea to give Yixiu two slaps to wake her up. There were three pregnant concubines in the palace. If Yixiu did not restrain herself, she might not be able to save any of her three grandchildren.
The Emperor feels that you two aunt and niece are more like a family without me. It doesn't matter if you don't ask. I have my own guess anyway.
-------------------------------------
After the Emperor left Jingren Palace, Hua Fei saw that the Empress, who was sitting at the top, was about to say something she didn't want to hear, so she stood up, half squatted for a while, and quickly took her leave.
Whoever wants to assist in the Sixth Palace, go ahead and do it. She is liberated anyway.
Concubine Hua scurried out of the gate of Jingren Palace. Zhou Ninghai waited at the door for a long time. When he saw his master coming out, he hurriedly followed.
My master has always been the first one among the ladies in the harem to come out to pay his respects, so I dare not be careless at all.
"My queen." Zhou Ninghai followed and greeted her. He felt that his master's footsteps were particularly brisk today, so brisk that he felt as if he didn't run away, the debt collectors would catch up with him.
"Hurry up and return to Yikun Palace!" Concubine Hua got on the sedan chair and asked Zhou Ninghai to speed up.
Concubine Hua rode in a sedan chair through the imperial garden and returned to her comfortable Yiku Palace.
After getting off the sedan chair, Concubine Hua relaxed her shoulders, raised the corners of her mouth, and put the gorgeous armor in Songzhi's hands.
With her other hand, she lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped over the threshold of Yikun Palace. Concubine Hua's brisk voice rang out:
"Songzhi, close the door!"
After hearing Concubine Hua's instructions, Xiao Huanzi quickly bolted the door.
Zhou Ninghai: Madam, I haven't come in yet. o(╥﹏╥)o
