Chapter 116 This Way of Being Favored
And on Su Peisheng's side.
When he heard the emperor asking him to investigate Yuxuan, he thought the emperor had discovered his affair with Cui Jinxi.
Startled him.
But then I thought, that’s not right, Jinxi and I haven’t even started yet…
Su Peisheng felt relieved when he heard that they wanted to investigate one of the palace maids named Huanbi.
If you want to find out something, what could be faster than asking someone on the inside?
So Su Peisheng went straight to find Cui Jinxi.
Outside the Suiyuxuan.
In a remote place, two old men from the palace were meeting.
"Eunuch Su called me here, is there something wrong?"
The wind was a bit strong, and Jinxi tidied up the hair on her temples that was blown by the wind.
Su Peisheng looked silly when he met Cui Jinxi and chuckled twice.
"Is your work at Suiyuxuan going smoothly? Is there anything inconvenient?"
The toady Su and Wen Shichu are exactly the same, both of them focus on dedication.
Jin Xi smiled gently, "Everything is fine."
She was indeed quite pretty when she was young, and she still has charm even now that she is older.
This smile made Su Peisheng so fascinated that he couldn't open his eyes.
Fortunately, he did not forget the emperor's instructions and came back to his senses from his silly smile.
He immediately started asking about the business.
"That's good. I came here this time because I want to ask you something."
"Is there a maid named Huanbi in Suiyuxuan?"
Cui Jinxi's eyes moved slightly, and she immediately realized something.
Su Peisheng is someone close to the emperor. The fact that he came to ask about Huanbi must mean that the emperor has already met him.
When she first entered the palace, she thought Huanbi was quite outstanding in appearance and looked like a young lady.
But over the past few months, she has changed more and more.
I don’t know if it’s the feng shui of the Forbidden City that’s good for people, or if it’s because girls change a lot when they grow up.
Anyway, Cui Jinxi felt that there was probably no one in the entire harem who could surpass Huanbi in appearance.
With a face like this, as long as it is not ruined by others, there will be a chance to come to the fore sooner or later.
Zhen Huan didn't let her out on weekdays, so Cui Jinxi thought it would take a long time for her to meet the emperor.
I didn't expect it to be so fast.
She organized her words and said:
"There is such a person. She is a personal maid brought into the palace by Wan Changzai, but..."
After hesitating for a while, Cui Jinxi still told Huanbi's current situation.
Originally, she was betting on Zhen Huan.
I think the other person's appearance is definitely a killer.
Even though Zhen Huan was sick and did not sleep with him in the early days, Cui Jinxi had no intention of giving up.
But what she couldn't understand was that after Zhen Huan went to bed with him, she was far from being the only one as she had imagined.
Even when his favor was average, the emperor had never been to Suiyuxuan.
This is so wrong!
Now with the emergence of Huanbi, she is a little shaken.
After Su Peisheng understood the general situation, he immediately ran back to the Yangxin Palace to report the results.
Cui Jinxi returned to Suiyuxuan and did not go to Zhen Huan's room to serve her immediately.
Instead, he brought a plate of snacks and went to Huanbi's room.
...........................................
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Yongzheng flipped through the papers in his hand, which were all filled with Luo Yao's information.
"No wonder she always has a cold face..."
As a palace maid, she is supposed to serve the mistress.
But with her appearance, it is really hard to distinguish the primary from the secondary.
Being excluded is inevitable.
Yongzheng's heart was filled with pity, and he wished he could call the person to his side immediately.
But he still held back and asked Su Peisheng to pay close attention to the situation over there.
As a result, he also disliked Zhen Huan and felt that she had treated Huanbi badly.
So for a period of time afterwards, Zhen Huan was often called to the Yangxin Palace to accompany the emperor, and everyone in the harem was envious of her.
Even when Concubine Hua sent ginseng soup, she was unable to get the emperor to go to her palace.
But Concubine Hua was so angry that she immediately called Cao Qinmo and asked her to capture Zhen Huan immediately!
Cao Qinmo:.......
Even Shen Meizhuang and Ling Rong were envious of Zhen Huan's favor.
Although they had served in the emperor's bedchamber, they were not favored by the emperor and it was difficult for them to see him.
Not to mention going to the Yangxin Palace to accompany the emperor.
Yixiu even increased the amount of medicine added to Suiyuxuan, striving to kill it instantly regardless of whether the fetus was exposed or not.
And it is Zhen Huan herself who is envied, jealous and hated by everyone.
But I can't laugh.
Every time the emperor called her over, she was either grinding or copying books. She was never idle for a moment.
And she was not allowed to stay overnight, she had to leave after finishing her work.
So after just a few days, she looked much more haggard.
Jingren Palace, greetings——
Everyone in the harem took their seats one by one. Zhen Huan arrived a little late because she had not rested well recently.
When she arrived, everyone except the Queen and Concubine Hua was already seated.
Concubine Qi looked at her unkindly and said sarcastically:
"Mr. Wan is really so arrogant. Just because you accompanied me a few times, you dare to let the sisters wait for you here."
Zhen Huan had already sat down, but when she heard Concubine Qi's scolding, she refrained from saying anything.
Outsiders all thought that she was infinitely favored.
But only she herself knew that she was nothing more than that in the eyes of the emperor.
It's better not to cause trouble if you can.
Lipin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile:
"Sister Qi Fei, please stop teasing Sister Wan. Sister Wan has worked hard to serve the emperor. Look, there are dark circles under her eyes."
Everyone's attention was focused on him.
Sure enough, I saw some dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't get enough rest.
Now everyone in the harem was even more jealous.
Is it so hard to serve the emperor?
It’s really true that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods!
When Zhen Huan heard this, she immediately became unhappy.
It would be fine if I really slept with him for days on end, but I didn’t!
But before she could explain, Hua Fei's disdainful voice came from outside.
"What is she serving? The emperor didn't let her stay in the Yangxin Palace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Hua, dressed in red, walked in from outside.
The kingfisher feather headdress was dazzling, making her look like a proud peacock.
Everyone stood up and paid their respects to Concubine Hua.
Concubine Qi also stood up and bowed.
But Concubine Hua didn't even look at her and sat straight down in her seat.
Concubine Qi was secretly angry and couldn't help but say:
"Sister, this Concubine Wan is always with me, so it's ok for her to be late. But why is it that you have nothing to do all day and you are so late?"
Hua Fei rolled her eyes on the spot and retorted:
"Qi Fei, if you have time to care about me, why don't you teach Third Prince how to study? Don't spend the whole day without even doing your homework!"
Hua Fei's words hit Qi Fei right in the heart, and she slammed the table in anger.
How can she say that she loves her son?
Seeing that there was about to be a commotion outside, Yixiu in the inner room finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He secretly cursed Concubine Qi for being useless.
It only took him two sentences to suppress Nian Shilan, so he had to rely on himself.
