Chapter 211 Concubine Hua Lost Her Sacred Heart
The emperor knew he was in the wrong, and wanted to test whether Concubine Hua deliberately got close to the Fourth Prince and plotted something with Nian Gengyao. Unexpectedly, he made Concubine Hua sad.
"Look at you, you are talking about the happy things of winning battles, but you are crying."
"Then I'll do as you say. Just give Nian Fu some four treasures of the study as a reward. When Nian Fu says that I, as his uncle, am stingy, I will say that it was your aunt who forced me to give them to him." The emperor wanted to test Concubine Hua by conferring a title on Nian Fu, but he never said it out loud.
Hua Fei burst into laughter, this reward of the Four Treasures of the Study was what the Emperor really wanted.
"Your Majesty can reward whatever he wants, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Your Majesty, I didn't hear what you said."
Concubine Hua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and picked up a piece of stewed quail with pearl rice for the emperor.
The emperor himself asked the imperial kitchen to send this, saying that Concubine Hua loved it.
But Concubine Hua’s mouth was filled with Lingzhi and she felt that the dish from the imperial kitchen was not cooked enough.
Let the emperor eat it.
After lunch, the emperor showed no sign of leaving.
Concubine Hua asked the emperor if he needed a nap?
The emperor pulled Concubine Hua to sit beside him.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the renovation of Chuxiu Palace has been completed. I remember that when Meizhuang gave birth to her child last year, the Empress Dowager conferred the title of Concubine Hui on Concubine Hui. At that time, since the four corners of the Concubine's rank were complete, I put the matter on hold."
Concubine Hua listened quietly without saying anything.
"Earlier, I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring you the imperial concubine's uniform. Huang Guiquan said that you returned it without even looking at it."
The emperor stared at Concubine Hua without blinking, but his words were particularly tender.
"I don't know about this." Concubine Hua pretended not to know.
"I want you to be my imperial concubine. How about you be my first imperial concubine in this dynasty?"
The emperor finally broke the window paper.
Concubine Hua looked at the emperor quietly for a moment, then stood up and knelt upright in front of the emperor.
"I don't want to."
"Why?" The emperor was a little annoyed by Concubine Hua's resistance.
Recently he always felt that Concubine Hua was a little different from usual, but he couldn't figure out what was different.
When Concubine Hua saw him, she was still jealous as usual, but if she couldn't see him, it seemed as if the Yikun Palace was separated from her by a chasm, and Concubine Hua had nothing to do with her anymore.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, he stood at the gate of Changchun Palace for a long time. He was expecting that the Yikun Palace behind him would open, but Concubine Hua really seemed unaware that he was at the door. At that time, he was still thinking about how to use the position of imperial concubine to balance the Nian family.
The Nian family has been too quiet lately, so quiet that I can’t find any fault.
This goes against the Emperor's wishes.
At noon, he received the report of Nian Fu's great victory, and he finally made up his mind. He still wanted to give Hua Fei the position of Royal Concubine.
His sons and nephews worked hard to make him successful, and Concubine Hua in the palace was promoted to Concubine Hua. He needed the Nian family to be as wealthy as fire and oil at this moment to check and balance Longkodo.
The court seems calm on the surface recently, but privately, there are signs that some ministers are forming cliques and supporting Longkodo.
If there is no one to check and balance you, it will be difficult for you to do things.
Concubine Hua always follows her own heart, so why would she make things difficult for herself at this time?
The emperor suppressed his anger and asked Concubine Hua the reason.
"Although I am a concubine, I have not had any children for many years. I have made no contribution to the emperor's country and the people, nor have I helped the royal family's descendants. I dare not take the position of noble concubine."
This was the second time today that Concubine Hua brought up the deceased child, and her heart ached.
My child, I am not blessed enough to meet you in this world. Please bless me from below and help me keep our Nian family safe in this life.
Speaking of children, the emperor was speechless.
Hasn’t Concubine Hua let it go after all these years?
Hua Fei must not be allowed to know the real cause of the child's death. It would have been great if Hua Fei was pregnant with a girl back then. It's all Nian Gengyao's fault.
If Nian Gengyao had been more restrained at that time like he is now, he would not have killed his own child with his own hands.
At that time, I could risk two lives and secretly arrange for Concubine Duan to take the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine. I made such a great determination to make the decision to abandon Shilan and the child.
Fortunately, Shilan is safe and sound and is still by his side.
But when I came to tell her, Shilan, that she would be my one and only concubine, she actually didn't want to!
She actually didn't want to!
I was given by the Emperor, and she dared to refuse!
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua lying on the ground silently for a long time. Without saying a word, he stood up and left Yikun Palace.
This was the first time the Emperor and Concubine Hua had quarreled in all the years they had been together.
There was silence.
In the afternoon, the harem received news from the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace:
Concubine Duan was canonized as Imperial Concubine, and the canonization ceremony was held on an auspicious day together with Concubine Hui.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.
At the same time, the news that Concubine Hua had lost the emperor's favor spread throughout the palace.
Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua had been in opposition in the palace for a long time.
Now the emperor's heart is clearly on the side of Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan was reinstated, probably because Concubine Hua had angered the emperor in some way.
The Queen was the most concerned about this, and she tried many methods but failed to find out what happened when the Emperor went to Yiku Palace that day.
Xiao Xiazi only said that the emperor specially brought the quail stewed with pearl shrimps from the imperial kitchen from the Yangxin Palace and went to the Yikun Palace.
The emperor had lunch with Concubine Hua. After they talked for a while, the emperor suddenly left.
Xiao Xiazi said he didn't know what the two of them talked about.
The queen asked Xiao Xiazi to leave with a cold face.
Xiao Xiazi rolled his eyes and said, "You have no money but you still want to get information from me. What do you want?"
After the emperor left, Concubine Hua closed the door of Yikun Palace.
Under this imperial power, it is never a question of whether you want it or not, but whether the emperor gives it to you or not.
If the emperor gives it to you, you have to accept it. If the emperor doesn’t give it to you, you can’t accept it.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord.
In the previous life, the Nian family asked for too much and touched the emperor's reverse scale. In this life, Concubine Hua refused the emperor's reward, which also touched the emperor's reverse scale.
Hua Fei knew how angry her refusal would make the emperor, but she just wanted to see the emperor being angry but unable to shout.
I just want to see how depressed the emperor will be when the Nian family, who has done nothing wrong but has made no achievements, is criticized by the world.
I fought for you and defended your kingdom, yet in the end I became the biggest traitor in this court.
In this life, Concubine Hua wanted to see how the Emperor would remove the stone of fear in his heart when facing the Nian family, who had done nothing wrong in the eyes of the world.
Is it to consolidate the throne and eliminate meritorious officials or to win the reputation of being a virtuous monarch and his subjects?
The emperor is cold-hearted and has to be concerned about the rumors spreading throughout the world.
The emperor always has to choose one.
But the emperor is stingy. No matter which one he chooses, he will feel sorry for losing the other one.
Concubine Hua just wanted to see the emperor in agony.
