TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 139 Yixiu 8

The emperor laughed when he saw this and reached out to touch Hua Fei's slightly hot face a few times.

"Look at you, I just said it casually, why are you angry?"

"I have been busy with official duties recently and haven't had time to accompany you. You have been working hard to manage the six palaces these days. Since you are sick, you should rest well."

Hua Fei forced a smile and agreed reluctantly.

The emperor didn't notice anything wrong, and after a short conversation, he couldn't wait to run to the Suiyuxuan.

The health of Concubine Hua and the Queen is not improving, so this is a great opportunity for him to be with his beloved.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to the Broken Jade Pavilion."

"boom!"

The jade bowl containing the calming soup was smashed to the ground, and Concubine Hua's mood, which had finally calmed down, became chaotic again.

"Is he so impatient? I used to think women were just seductive, but now it seems the source lies with men."

"Your Majesty, don't think about it. The news has already spread and there will be a result soon. You have been busy since the emperor ascended the throne. It is important to rest well."

Songzhi doesn't understand love or these things. In her heart, Hua Fei's joy and anger are the most important.

Even if the other person is the emperor, he is not as important as your own master.

She went out and brought back another bowl of calming soup. Now she was the only one serving in the palace, and she was worried that Hua Fei would say something disrespectful in anger, which would be bad if someone heard it.

"Let someone else clean up for a while. Songzhi, come over and talk to me."

"Yes, I'll be right there."

"Is there any movement from the Queen? She threw such a huge bolt from the blue at me, and now I don't know what she is planning."

"Your Majesty, our people cannot enter the main hall of Jingren Palace. We only know that the Empress has been in a good mood recently and has trained many little toys in the cat and dog room."

"Why are you putting toys in the side hall with such fanfare?"

Songzhi felt quite resentful when she talked about this. The two sides had been fighting for many years, and their relationship suddenly became awkward.

Everything in Yikun Palace was uncomfortable, but the other side was living so comfortably.

Hua Fei was a little distracted after hearing this, and murmured: "Raising a pet is indeed a good choice if you don't have children."

"If your majesty likes it, we can go and pick out some beautiful ones."

"No need. Now is not the time. Let's wait until the results come out and see the Queen. I really want to know what she is planning."

During the days when Concubine Hua was recuperating, the harem suddenly became peaceful.

Only Concubine Cao often brought Wen Yi to see her.

"Songzhi, put out the incense. It's not good for children to smell too much perfume. Go find some good fabrics and make some comfortable clothes for Wen Yi."

"I would like to thank you for your reward on behalf of Wen Yi. I came to visit you, but now I am the one who has taken advantage of you."

Concubine Cao spoke obediently as if it were free, which made Concubine Hua happy a little.

It was only thanks to Concubine Hua's appeasement that Wen Yi was able to enjoy the treatment she has today. Otherwise, according to Concubine Cao's status, Wen Yi would not be much better off than Jinghe.

Concubine Cao knew these things better than anyone else.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was treating Wen Yi better and better, she didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt endless panic, fearing that Concubine Hua would have the idea of ​​adopting Wen Yi.

She brought her daughter to Yiku Palace several times to test the waters, and only when she saw that Concubine Hua simply liked Wen Yi did she feel relieved.

She is one of the few concubines in the palace who truly hopes for Hua Fei's health.

Zhen Huan and her friends have been very successful recently.

The emperor not only doted on the sisters, but also asked them to learn how to handle harem affairs, which was a treatment that neither Jingpin nor Lipin had.

For the emperor, the power of the harem should be as dispersed as possible, so that it will be easier for him to control the situation.

The Queen and Concubine Hua's proactive concessions gave him more room to maneuver.

In the Yanxi Palace, Xia Dongchun was watching An Lingrong reading out of boredom, which was a great torture for her.

"What's so good about this thing? You should think of a way to deal with it. Look at Concubine Shen, she can even handle palace affairs."

Xia Dongchun looked at the main hall with envy, where Noble Lady Fucha was talking with Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and others. It was already another circle.

Although she had already served the emperor in bed, the emperor was not very interested in her.

"Don't worry, sister. The emperor likes talented women. You are beautiful. If you are willing to work hard, the emperor will definitely like you."

In the past few months, An Lingrong has also figured out some of the emperor's preferences, and she doesn't dare to think about comparing herself with Zhen Huan and others.

There is a huge difference between having a famous teacher to teach you and not having one. She just wants to read more books to understand some principles so that she won’t be unable to answer the emperor’s questions when he asks her.

Unexpectedly, Xia Dongchun shuddered violently after hearing this.

"Forget it, I'm just not cut out for studying."

"When I first entered the palace, I wasn't told that there were so many rules." She lay down on the table in despair, fiddling with the silk threads in the embroidery basket with her fingers.

The nanny's strictness caused Xia Dongchun a lot of suffering, but also made her calmer.

After the nanny explained the punishments in the palace, she realized how suicidal her behavior was. She no longer dared to be so arrogant and could only act like a spoiled child in front of An Lingrong.

"So what are you going to do, sister?"

An Lingrong put down the book in her hand and looked at Xia Dongchun seriously. She felt that she was quite lucky. Everyone she met since entering the palace was very nice.

Even though she is not so favored, she is very satisfied with her current life and only hopes to have a child soon.

"My family told me not to make any trouble and to listen to the Queen. As long as I'm safe, that's all that matters."

The Xia family knows their daughter very well, and her current personality is closely related to their doting.

The Xia family also has some staff in the Imperial Household Department, so they can just consider it as a place to raise their daughter.

They had long known what had happened in the palace, and no longer expected their daughter to befriend high-ranking concubines and bring them any glory.

I just hope she can be careful and not get into trouble.

An Lingrong was filled with envy when she heard this. She didn't have such a family and didn't know how her mother was doing. As long as she was around, her father would definitely be nicer to her mother.

"Sister must be very happy at home."

"That's right!" Xia Dongchun straightened up when she spoke of this. She had thought entering the palace was such an honor, but who knew it would be like this...

The huge contrast made Xia Dongchun miss his family especially.

"Whether I'm favored or not is up to me. The emperor doesn't like me being stupid, but I don't like him even more. He's old and has a stern face... well..."

"Crash!" The entire set of tea sets on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Xia Dongchun waved his hands, his eyes wide open, unable to believe how An Lingrong could move so quickly.

Weren’t we just across the street?

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense!"

An Lingrong's unusual toughness frightened Xia Dongchun, who nodded subconsciously.

"Baojuan, come in and put away the tea set."

After everyone left, Xia Dongchun lowered his head and looked at An Lingrong embarrassedly.

"It was just a joke. Why are you so angry? You really have a bad temper. How can you still look so timid when you first arrived?"

The more Xia Dongchun spoke, the straighter his back became, and in the end, he even condemned An Lingrong with his eyes.

"Hey, no wonder the Queen asked you to learn the rules. If this gets out, your whole family will be in trouble. And you were just showing off how good they are to you."

"Aren't you repaying kindness with enmity?"

……

Xia Dongchun was frightened by the scene described by An Lingrong, and kept nodding with his neck shrunk.

The relationship between the two officially changed from this day on, but An Lingrong still coaxed Xia Dongchun very well.

She had no idea that she was becoming increasingly dependent on him.
