Hearing a muffled laugh from the person above him, he didn't know if it was her hallucination, then he spared her, kissed her forehead as if comforting, then rolled her up and took her into his arms.
Alas, there is a knife on the head of color character.
Hua Chun felt that he should be angry, but after this lingering meal, let alone anger, he lost all energy.
No matter what, since he still dotes on himself, don't care so much. As a person, you should be more open-minded, and you can't make things difficult for yourself.
The emperor turned over the signboard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation again today. Many palace lights in the harem remained on all night. Concubine Xi couldn't figure it out, so she pulled Concubine Xu and asked, "The emperor has changed? How can there be a new life for someone who was left out in the cold before?" The reason for being favored?"
Concubine Xu smiled: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? The Emperor is trying to save Yuhou's face. After all, she is the newly recognized younger sister. The Empress Dowager has been promoted to the rank of concubine. How can the Emperor not be embarrassed?"
Gong Yuhou's status is quite high, and this recognition of relatives can be regarded as a pull to Hua's family.
"Speaking of recognizing relatives, Concubine Hua and Concubine Shu have the same surname." Concubine Xu said, "However, when the emperor got angry, Concubine Shu quickly put aside the relationship with Concubine Hua, saying that although they had the same surname, there was no such thing as concubine Shu. Blood relationship. It will be interesting to say this to Concubine Hua now."
Concubine Xi pursed her lips: "Didn't we also reject her little letter? We have missed a good opportunity."
"The concubine sent someone to inquire. Many people in the palace received the little letter that day, and none of them went to help." Xu Concubine said: "Don't worry, empress, even if we can't win over, then Concubine Hui will not be able to win over either. face to beg her."
"That's fine." Concubine Xi nodded, as long as Concubine Hui can't cover the sky with one hand, then everything is fine.
Concubine Hui didn't fall asleep either, she sat in front of the dressing table and sulked. The maid next to her comforted her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious, because the favor you got from the previous dynasty was not sincere from the emperor, so it won't last long."
"Are you comforting me with your words, or are you embarrassing me?" Concubine Hui stared, "Could it be that the favor of this palace is really given by the emperor?"
If it wasn't for her uncle's outstanding status in the court, where would she have the opportunity to gain power in the harem? She still has this self-knowledge, after all, the emperor has never favored her a few times.
The maid hurriedly shut her mouth, looked at the hideous face in the bronze mirror, shivered in fright, and lowered her head.
In this harem, one palace is warm and the other palaces are cold. Those who are favored are naturally greeted by everyone with smiles, but it is not known how much scheming is behind this smile.
In the Qinghe Palace the next day, Concubine Hui was sitting with a smile on her face waiting for everyone to pay her respects. Today, someone will definitely say a few words about Concubine Suanhua, and she has already prepared her lines to pretend to be magnanimous.
However, what I never expected was that the first person who came to pay her respects today was Concubine Hua.
"The concubine has seen the empress." The salute is a salute, but she didn't know whether she really didn't understand it or did it on purpose, and she actually gave her a common salute, that is, a slight kneeling between people of the same status.
The smile on Concubine Hui's face was a bit stiff, but she still said: "It's hard to come to pay your respects so early for your bedtime."
"It should." Hua Chun said: "A few days ago I didn't understand the rules, so please forgive me."
"It's okay, you can sit down first." Concubine Hui pointed to the seat next to her: "It must be the first time for everyone to come to greet you, and I will scare them later."
Hua Chun nodded and sat down.
She came here today fully armed, with a bracelet from Yuwen Jieshang in her hand, her hair and face were all newly made in the palace, and her palace attire was also brand new snow brocade, pink and blue, very bright, so she followed suit The peacock on the screen is as eye-catching.
Sure enough, after not waiting for a while, Concubine Hui asked, "Is this body of concubine Hua a new reward from the emperor?"
"Yes." Hua Chun smiled "coyly", touched the bracelet and said, "It is said that I wronged my concubine a while ago, and I used it as compensation."
"The emperor really loves you very much."
Hua Chun laughed flamboyantly, the kind that would bark his teeth, trying to appear proud and complacent.
Generally, such a silly elder sister is the easiest to get rid of behind the scenes. She didn't know what kind of methods Concubine Hui had, so she had to use herself as bait first.
After glancing at her twice, Concubine Hui pursed her lips, and looked at Lan Zhaoyi on the other side, with helplessness in her eyes.
I also have a good impression of Concubine Hua, after all, I got the emperor's reward. But seeing her in such a frightening manner today, Lan Zhaoyi suddenly felt that she had no affection at all, and even felt a little disapproving.
Who hasn't been spoiled? The more publicity you have at this time, the worse your fall will be in the future!
More and more concubines came to pay their respects one after another, and Hua Chun started to plan to kill her. First, according to Concubine Hui's instructions, she sat in the first seat next to her, so that Concubine Xi sat in the first place, and then He kept fiddling with his jewelry, artificially adding close-up symbols, and talking to everyone during the period. Although they all used honorific titles, their tone was full of "I am the best in the world" posture.
After a court meeting, everyone present basically had a consensus—this concubine Hua is a grasshopper who wants to die by herself.
"It's not too early." Hua Chun stood up and said, "When the emperor goes to court, he will probably go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so the concubine will go first."
"Okay." Concubine Hui nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"The concubine is voluntary." She smiled, and with the pride unique to a favored woman, she turned and left the Qinghe Hall.
None of the other concubines moved, and it took a long time for Huo Xianrou to close her wide mouth, and she said in disbelief: "Looking at her being so sensible, I thought she was a pretty good person, but I didn't expect her to be revealed when she has a backstage. He really dares to say anything, and dares to offend anyone."
"What can you do with her?" Concubine Xi chuckled lightly: "If you are capable, you will be favored more than her, and then go to the emperor to file a complaint."
"Concubines don't have the ability." Huo Bin shook her head again and again, looked at Concubine Hui and said, "Concubine Hui is the one who is in charge of the palace now, isn't your concubine doing something?"
Concubine Hui smiled and shook her head: "As long as the harem is harmonious, I will not care about who is more favored."
Having said that, she still felt very uncomfortable seeing Concubine Hua's favored appearance, but she couldn't show it on the surface.
"master."
On the palace road outside, Rui'er was almost scared out of her wits: "Why do you..."
"You have to be a little bit stronger after following me as a master." Hua Chun wiped the cold sweat off his brow and said, "Otherwise, you will be frightened to death by yourself before anyone takes revenge. How can that be?"
Rui'er was taken aback, and after a while of reaction, he said: "Are you trying to provoke Concubine Hui on purpose? Why?"
"Of course I have my own ideas."
"But..." Rui'er bit her lip, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Hui's tricks are amazing, you'd better make up for it, otherwise if something happens..."
"Can there be any surprises?" Hua Chun raised his eyebrows.
After hesitating for a while, Rui'er said: "Concubine Hui used to support a talented person, but when he was promoted to Zhaoyi, he turned his face and refused to recognize Concubine Hui. Relying on the emperor's favor, he wanted to be his own master. In the end, less than one In the first month, he was found drowned in the laundry pool of the harem."
so scary? Hua Chun was so frightened that she stopped walking, and pulled her over: "What is the identity of that talented person?"
"The servants don't know either. Anyway, it should have something to do with Ding Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After the accident, Concubine Hui helped the emperor to investigate the murderer for a long time, but the result was nothing."
Rui'er didn't dare to say unnecessary words, but based on the cause and effect, if it was said that the death of the talented man had nothing to do with Concubine Hui, no one would believe it. But, without evidence, no one can do anything to her.
