The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 129: Concubine Hua is angry, Qin Mo gives advice

Although the Emperor punished Concubine Hua by confining her to her room, he did not close the Yikun Palace, so other people could come to the Yikun Palace to see Concubine Hua, but Concubine Hua could not leave the Yikun Palace at will.

As for other treatments, they are the same as usual, with no omissions compared to before.

But even so, Concubine Hua, who was punished with house arrest for the first time, was still very angry. She wanted to rush out to find the emperor several times, but was finally persuaded by Song Zhi.

"If I hadn't helped you back then, do you think you would have been able to give birth to a princess?"

"If you hadn't given me some bad advice, I wouldn't have been confined by the Emperor for so many days."

Concubine Hua said to Concubine Cao angrily.

Songzhi took another fan and fanned Concubine Hua carefully, not daring to make any sound.

The other palace servants also watched carefully and quietly did what they were supposed to do, for fear that they would accidentally bring Hua Fei's anger upon themselves.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. If punishing me can make you feel good, I am willing to accept any punishment."

A trace of humiliation flashed across Concubine Cao's eyes, but when she raised her head again, there was only obedience in her eyes.

She couldn't turn against Concubine Hua now, she had to endure it. She had to swallow her anger for Wen Yi's sake.

"Punishment, can punishing you bring back my right to assist the six palaces? Can punishing you make me leave this palace?"

"This is the first time that the emperor has punished me with house arrest. So many days have passed since the emperor returned to the palace, and he has not even come to Yikun Palace to see me."

"Tell me, isn't this all because of your bad idea?"

Concubine Hua was so angry that she wanted to throw the teacup in her hand at Concubine Cao's face.

Listening to Concubine Hua's totally unreasonable scolding, Concubine Cao didn't know what to say.

If it weren't for the method she proposed, it would have been impossible for Concubine Hua to escape this disaster so easily.

The Queen has been holding on to this matter, and with Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others fanning the flames, how could this matter be allowed to pass so easily?

If the Queen really found some solid evidence, the Emperor would not be able to stop the gossips even if he wanted to protect Concubine Hua, and would certainly give Concubine Hua a more severe punishment.

It's only been a month of house arrest, but Concubine Hua is so angry.

She lowered her head to hide the humiliation in her eyes, took a deep breath, and did not dare to explain anything at this juncture.

She knew that Concubine Hua would not listen to her explanation.

"Congratulations, madam. Now this is a good thing."

Concubine Cao smiled and looked at Concubine Hua and spoke softly.

As expected, when these words were spoken, Concubine Hua was completely stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.

"It's a good thing if you tell me how it is."

Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Cao suspiciously, not knowing what she was up to.

"Although Your Majesty has lost the right to assist in managing the six palaces, she has also avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble. As for the matter of being confined, although Your Majesty has been wronged, the Emperor knows it in his heart."

"But under the circumstances at the time, the Emperor had no choice but to punish the Empress. After all, Lipin called out the Empress' name in front of so many people."

"When the confinement is over, the emperor will surely love you even more since he cares so much about you, and make up for the grievances you have suffered during this period of time."

Concubine Cao naturally knew what Concubine Hua liked to hear the most, and saying these things would naturally help her calm down.

As for those reasons, the other party would not listen to them, so she was too lazy to explain them.

"Humph, what you said does make sense, but now I am locked up here and cannot go out to see the emperor. What do you think I should do?"

When Concubine Hua heard what Concubine Cao said, she felt that it made sense.

It was all the fault of that old Queen who had been holding on to it. Zhen Huan, Shen Meiyu and that Xiangpin were not good people either. If they hadn't stopped her from taking Lipin away, things wouldn't have turned out like that.

"It is not difficult for you to see the emperor. Although you cannot leave the palace to see the emperor now, it does not say that the emperor cannot come to the palace to see you."

Concubine Cao rolled her eyes in her heart. She really couldn't understand why Concubine Hua was so obsessed with the Emperor's favor. The Emperor was such a cold-hearted and ungrateful person, but Concubine Hua loved him so wholeheartedly. It was really inexplicable.

"What do you mean?"

When Concubine Hua heard that Concubine Cao seemed to have a solution, she immediately became interested.

"The emperor has few children. Wen Yi, as the emperor's youngest child, is quite loved by the emperor."

Concubine Cao had already thought of a plan before she came to Yikun Palace. After all, what Concubine Hua cared about most was the emperor's favor, so she could guess what requests the other party would make.

"Get up."

Concubine Hua looked at the other person kneeling quietly below her. After watching for a while, she called the person away in dissatisfaction.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Concubine Cao quickly spoke.

"Okay, go back and pack up, then take Wen Yi to pay his respects to the emperor."

When Concubine Hua heard Concubine Cao mention the topic of children, she inevitably thought of her own child and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"You are so lucky. There are so many people in this palace who don't have children, but you have Wen Yi."

"If the child I had back then was still alive, he would be able to run away now."

"Yes, but I am tongue-tied and afraid that what I say might displease the Emperor."

Concubine Cao pretended to be hesitant and looked at Concubine Hua and said.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything. Wen Yi is here, that's enough. Just bring along this phoenix-peony hairpin that I own."

At this time, Concubine Hua reacted quickly and heard the hint that Concubine Cao did not say directly.

Gyeongin Palace

The emperor was enjoying himself in Jingren Palace today.

In front of the Queen, flirting with Xiao Chunyuan while also exchanging glances with Concubine An was quite a unique experience.

Just at this time, eunuch Jiang Fuhai came in to report that Concubine Cao brought Princess Wen Yi to pay their respects to the Queen.

The emperor probably guessed that the other party had ulterior motives and most likely wanted to use the occasion of paying respects to Hua Fei to plead for her.

However, he had been treating Concubine Hua coldly for the past few days, and he thought that she had learned her lesson. Besides, Nian Gengyao was in great need of him now, so he could lift her house arrest in advance.

"Long live the emperor and the queen."

Concubine Cao held Wen Yi in her arms and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Why did you come here with the princess in your arms when the sun is so scorching?"

The emperor took the initiative to ask.

"The princess is young and can't stand the heat, why did you bring her out?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone.
