Chapter 326: Zhen Huan is unwell, and the sisters target her
She could clearly see that Wanpin's face was a little pale, but fortunately Lingrong looked normal and there was nothing unusual.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Jing spoke up for the two pregnant concubines, but was mercilessly retorted by Concubine Hua due to the difference in their status.
Helplessly, even though Zhen Huan was not feeling well, she had to force herself to come to Yikun Palace.
The next day, Concubine Hua still asked all concubines to go to Yikun Palace.
Zhen Huan was feeling very uncomfortable, and she really didn't like the spices smoked in Concubine Hua's palace. She felt that the smell was too strong and made her feel breathless.
But how could Concubine Hua allow Zhen Huan, whom she hated, to disobey her orders? She immediately sent her lackeys to Sui Yuxuan to force Zhen Huan to come over.
Concubine Hua has finally found an opportunity to suppress those who are competing with her for the Emperor's favor. Naturally, she has to use the opportunity of paying respects to these people and call them to her palace every day, just like the Queen holds a morning meeting every day.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Ninghai has gone to invite her. Wanpin should be here soon."
"However, I don't quite understand why Your Majesty wants to suppress Wanpin at this time. If Wanpin's stomach really has problems, won't the emperor blame her?"
Seeing this, Songzhi looked at Concubine Hua with some concern and spoke.
"What are you afraid of? Wanpin has already passed the first three months of pregnancy, and the fetus is stable. What serious problem can happen?"
"What's more, to suppress a person, you have to deal with her when she is at her most proud. I want to give her a good warning at this time so that she will never dare to go against me again in the future."
Concubine Hua thought very clearly and felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea. She couldn't just call someone over and say a few words and something bad would happen.
"By the way, what about that little girl of Noble Nian? Does she have any rebellious thoughts?"
Concubine Hua thought for a moment and then looked at Songzhi and asked.
Concubine Hua was very unhappy when she thought that the emperor went to her palace instead of coming to her place before leaving the palace. She had already thought about how to deal with this disobedient sister during this period of time.
She wanted to let her know something. She could allow someone to serve the emperor, but she would never allow anyone to snatch the emperor's favor from her.
"Your Majesty, the ladies from all the palaces have already arrived, and are just waiting for Your Majesty to come over."
Hearing this, Concubine Hua stood up and walked towards the outer hall with high spirits. She wanted to put the harem in order.
When Fu Cha Zhixi arrived, Ling Rong had already arrived.
She looked at An Lingrong and nodded, and she smiled back.
Before coming, she had warned Lingrong not to be the first to come out, and not to use the things in Concubine Hua's palace. If she really couldn't bear it, she could use the excuse of changing clothes and go out to relax for a while.
It is expected that Concubine Hua is busy targeting Zhen Huan and Concubine Nian at the moment and will not notice the unknown person An Lingrong.
"Greetings to the noble concubine."
After a while, Zhen Huan walked in cautiously and bowed to Concubine Hua.
"I was feeling unwell this morning, so I came a little late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Knowing that you are pregnant, you will naturally be more delicate. Would I bother with you?"
Concubine Hua snorted coldly, looked at Zhen Huan and spoke.
In her opinion, Zhen Huan was just being pretentious. Concubine An's belly was bigger than Zhen Huan's, yet she was able to arrive on time. She couldn't make it clear that she was going against her.
"But, I am a little curious."
"This Concubine An has a longer period than you, how come Concubine An can arrive on time but you can't?"
"Could it be that she wants to take advantage of her pregnancy to become arrogant?"
Concubine Hua mercilessly put a big hat on Zhen Huan.
"I have no such intention. I am late because I am not feeling well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhen Huan knew in her heart that Concubine Hua was just looking for trouble with her, but she had no choice but to give her the opportunity to make her unhappy. She did not dare to say too much at the moment, and it would be more relaxing if she just admitted it.
"Okay, since you are still well behaved, get up."
After seeing that Zhen Huan was obviously unable to stay there any longer, Concubine Hua spoke slowly.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Zhen Huan held Huanbi's hand and sat down. She looked a little ugly because she had just squatted for a while.
After Concubine Cao flattered her for a few words, Concubine Hua smiled and nodded with great satisfaction.
Then he got to the point, looked at the concubines sitting in the audience with a serious face and spoke.
"Nowadays, there are often farces of palace servants fighting and bickering in this palace. This is nothing more than relying on the favor of the ladies. I am sure that this is because the upper beam is not straight, so the lower beam is crooked. For example, Noble Nian is a living example."
"You dare to commit crimes against your superiors by relying on the emperor's favor. The servants in the palace follow suit and have conflicts with other palaces. If I find out about this again, I will punish them severely and will not tolerate it."
Concubine Hua looked coldly at Concubine Nian who was drinking tea carelessly and began to reprimand her.
"Mr. Nian, do you realize your mistake?"
"I don't know what I did wrong to make Her Majesty so angry."
"Is it because the emperor has been coming to my concubine's palace recently and ignored the noble concubine, so the queen is so angry?"
Noble Lady Nian was not afraid of Concubine Hua's scolding at all. In her opinion, although Concubine Hua was now a noble concubine, her appearance was ruined and her favor was even less. She and Concubine Hua were both daughters of the Nian family, and she did not think that she was inferior to the other.
"you!"
Concubine Hua was so angry that her eyebrows were raised and she scolded Concubine Nian harshly.
"How dare you, young noble, to commit treason! Kneel down before me!"
Noble Lady Nian didn't even look at Concubine Hua, and even showed disdain for her orders, with no intention of kneeling down at all.
Thinking of what the emperor said to her before he left the palace, she felt more confident.
Zhen Huan, who was standing by, finally felt relieved when she saw the two Nian sisters quarreling.
If it weren't for Noble Lady Nian taking the lead, Concubine Hua would probably have gotten herself into trouble.
"Humph, isn't this what Madam Hua Guifei calls using chicken feathers as a token of authority?"
Noble Lady Nian retorted mercilessly and gave Concubine Hua a provocative look.
"Well, Noble Nian, you really have won some favor from the Emperor, and you have taken advantage of it to become so arrogant. If I don't punish you, it will be hard to convince the public!"
"I order you to kneel outside for two full hours."
Concubine Hua was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't expect that Concubine Nian would dare to provoke her like this.
"I am the emperor's concubine. It is unreasonable for the imperial concubine to punish me. Moreover, the imperial concubine does not have the power of the palace alone. Why should the imperial concubine punish me?"
Noble Lady Nian looked at Noble Concubine Hua and shouted with confidence.
