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

Chapter 126: Indulging Arrogance, Cooling Bean Soup

"That's true."

An Lingrong nodded thoughtfully. This explanation actually made her more convinced.

After all, as a bystander, I don’t think the emperor values ​​Concubine Wan that much.

It is also unlikely that Concubine Hua, who had Nian Gengyao standing behind her, would be punished just because of Concubine Wan.

The next day

"At the morning court today, I noticed that your father has not been in good condition these days, and it seems that he did not get enough rest last night."

After the emperor finished the rice porridge in his bowl, he looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and said with a smile.

"My father is old now and is prone to illness. I am very worried."

When Fucha Zhixi heard the emperor's words, he subconsciously frowned.

"So after the morning court session, I asked Su Peisheng to find the imperial physician in the palace to go to Fucha Mansion to check on your father."

Upon seeing this, the emperor quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fu Cha Zhixi quickly stood up and wanted to thank the emperor.

"Hurry up and sit down. Your belly is so big, but you're still so well behaved."

"It's a good thing to follow the rules, but you don't have to follow all the red tape now that you're in this situation."

The emperor quickly opened his mouth and called out.

"Your Majesty loves me, and I am very happy."

"But as a concubine, I have to follow these rules. If I don't follow the rules because of the emperor's preference for me, wouldn't that be a betrayal of the emperor's love for me?"

Fucha Zhixi explained with a smile.

The emperor can say such things. If you really believe them, you are the biggest fool in the world.

You have to know that the emperor is a creature who can do anything for you when he is in a good mood, but when he hates you, even breathing would be wrong for you.

She would not leave hidden dangers for herself and wait for the emperor to bring up old issues in the future.

Besides, the emperor's attitude towards the Fucha family seems to have been much more relaxed now, but this does not mean that the emperor really doesn't mind what happened in the past.

As the only person from the Fucha family who entered the palace to accompany the emperor, she naturally had to show her respect at all times.

I am a subject first and a concubine later.

This order cannot be confused.

Imperial power is a right that overrides all other identities. The emperor is first the only person in power in the world, and then one's husband.

If you fail to keep this sentence in mind at all times, once you are dazzled by the emperor's so-called "sweet words", you will end up like the Nian brothers and sisters.

Were Nian Gengyao and Concubine Hua so arrogant and domineering from the beginning?

of course not.

This was cultivated by the emperor.

It was the emperor who gave the Nian brothers and sisters an illusion that the emperor was not the emperor, but the husband of Concubine Hua and the brother-in-law of Nian Gengyao.

"You."

Although the emperor said that Fu Cha Zhixi did not have to abide by these rules, after hearing what Fu Cha Zhixi said, the inquiry in his eyes was less intense.

It turned out that the emperor was testing me just now.

Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but say in his heart.

"Besides, the more the emperor loves me, the more I have to follow the rules, so that others won't laugh at me and think that the emperor likes someone who doesn't follow the rules."

After expressing his loyalty as a subject, what he needs to do now is to pull the other party from the status of emperor to the status of husband.

At the same time, she secretly stepped on Concubine Hua. Everyone knows that Concubine Hua is the most unruly person in the palace.

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the emperor and blinked with a smile. Her little face, which had become a little plump due to pregnancy, looked more playful than before.

"Do you have honey on your lips, little girl?"

The emperor smiled and reached out to pinch Fucha Zhixi's nose.

"If the emperor says yes, then yes."

Fu Cha Zhixi said as he looked at the emperor with a hint of smile in his dark eyes.

Gyeongin Palace

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, we give each palace an extra portion of mung bean soup at noon, which adds up to a total of thirty-two taels."

Shen Meizhuang sat below the Queen, reading the account book carefully.

Not long after she entered the palace, she began to learn how to manage the affairs of the six palaces, and now she can manage some of the account books in a competent manner.

The Emperor sat on the other side of the Queen, leaning leisurely on the couch as he listened to Concubine Shen reading the account book.

Zhen Huan was fanning herself intermittently. The protagonist today was obviously Sister Mei, and she naturally would not take the initiative to stand up and say something irrelevant. She just sat quietly and listened.

An Lingrong was now considered a favored concubine, so she was also kept.

She was very clear that she was not yet entitled to these rights due to her background. In addition, when she was at home, the financial affairs of the mansion did not fall on her mother's shoulders, so she naturally did not know much about these things.

So she listened very carefully to the conversation between Shen Meizhuang and the Queen, trying to learn something.

The emperor was sitting at the top and looking at An Lingrong who was listening attentively, he found it very interesting and couldn't help but smile.

An Lingrong looked towards the emperor as if she had sensed something, and happened to meet the emperor's interested gaze.

An Lingrong subconsciously gave the emperor a shy smile that she had practiced many times and had been approved by her sister.

Then he slowly lowered his head and looked away, leaving only a pair of red ears exposed.

When the emperor saw this scene, the look in his eyes became even darker.

Zhen Huan was sitting between the two of them, so she naturally noticed the eye contact between the Emperor and An Lingrong.

She felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.

This was the first time she had directly felt the emperor flirting with a concubine other than herself.

This made her somewhat suspicious of the way the emperor treated her, as there didn't seem to be much difference compared to other concubines.

This speculation made Zhen Huan feel even more bitter.

But she soon remembered that the emperor had punished Concubine Hua for her sake before, and she thought that he should treat her differently.

This made Zhen Huan regain some confidence, and she believed that the emperor must treat her differently.

When the Emperor saw that Zhen Huan's mood suddenly became visibly depressed and her brows moved slightly, he quickly guessed that she must have seen what happened between him and Rong'er just now, so she was jealous.

There is no man who doesn't like to see the woman he likes jealous.

The emperor is naturally no exception.

He smiled and looked at Zhen Huan with a slightly teasing look.

But Zhen Huan subconsciously looked towards the emperor at this moment, and her gaze met the emperor's, which made her more certain of her thoughts.

The three of them were almost done performing a play called Burning Winter, but the Queen suddenly interrupted Shen Meizhuang.

"Wait a minute."

The queen frowned and asked in a strange manner.

"The green bean soup for six palaces a day costs thirty-two taels in total. How much silver does it cost in a month?"
