Chapter 254 Fat Orange (11)
"Wan Changzai, right? You are of such a low rank, and you clearly know that I am the Zhao Fei appointed by the Emperor himself, so why don't you show courtesy to me when you see me? Is this the rule and upbringing of your Zhen family?
Also, you dared to flirt with the emperor in front of me. I think you are tired of living! Vixen! Before I entered the palace, I heard that Concubine Wan was good at intercepting the emperor's favor. Before the emperor went to Concubine Shen's place to rest, you insisted on blaming Concubine Xiang for intercepting the emperor's favor. You even intercepted the favor of your good sister. No wonder everyone dislikes you!
But I am not as easy to bully as Concubine Shen, don’t even think about taking the Emperor away from me!”
Zhen Huan's eyes were filled with tears. "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. I was just released from house arrest recently, and I haven't been out for a long time, so I came to visit the Imperial Garden on a whim."
Gua Liu didn't buy her tricks: "Why are you pretending? Everyone knows that the emperor likes to go to the imperial garden with me recently. If you are a well-behaved and reasonable person, you should stay away from these people instead of getting in the way of the emperor and me!"
Zhen Huan defended herself again, saying that she had just been released from confinement and had no idea that the Emperor and Concubine Zhao would come here. Besides, the Imperial Garden was so big, and the Emperor had not issued a confinement order to others, so why couldn't she come?
With Zhen Huan's ability of talking and her intelligence, it is effortless for her to crush Gualiu to the ground. Seeing that Gualiu is about to cry because of Zhen Huan, Pangju will of course take sides with her.
Zhen Huan couldn't believe the harsh words the Emperor said to her in order to protect Concubine Zhao.
She didn't understand why things between her and the emperor turned out like this?
This was clearly the imperial garden where they met and fell in love, but the emperor let Concubine Zhao sit on the swing that Xiao Yunzi built for him. How could the emperor do this?
Has he forgotten that year when the apricot blossoms were drizzling and he said he was Prince Guo, and they became engaged and fell in love?
As for the things in the Pepper Room and the Sprinkling Curtain, Zhen Huan remembered that the people who served her said that the Emperor did not carefully prepare these for Concubine Zhao, and that they were all gifts that belonged to her alone.
But now?
The emperor reprimanded himself to protect Concubine Zhao, just as he had reprimanded Concubine Hua to protect himself before, and even demoted himself to the position of Zhen Da Ying.
This time, not only was she demoted, but even her previous unique title was taken back.
Zhen Huan felt a little sad and even a little bit unbelievable.
How could things turn out like this? Before she was punished by Concubine Hua for such a ridiculous reason, the emperor was even willing to abandon his beloved sister Mei overnight for her. But now he is pouring his heart out for another woman. Well, he is using Zhen Huan's heart to feed another woman's lungs.
Shocked by the emperor's quick change of heart and love, Zhen Huan returned home in despair.
She knew very well that this wouldn't work. Zhen Huan had always been an ambitious and ghetto person, and she was unwilling to fall behind or be inferior to others.
She has had enough of the hard times during this period, so even though she is very sad now, the more adverse the situation is, the more she has to cheer up.
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan, knowing that her own power was too small, started to collude in the harem again.
The first people she thought of were Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong and Fang Chunyi. For this reason, Zhen Huan also went to their palaces to sing "Conquer", or "Persuade" in person.
Shen Meizhuang was easy to deal with. Although she was very angry that Zhen Huan had made her lose face that day, seeing how miserable Zhen Huan was now, her dog-licking DNA kicked in, and she softened when Zhen Huan cried and begged. In addition, she also felt that fighting alone was not an option. Especially since their current situation was very bad.
There was an old empress and a noble concubine in front, and then there was a new concubine, Zhao Fei, who was the newcomer. The emperor almost exclusively favored Zhao Fei during this period. The most annoying thing was that the empress and Hua Fei were too busy with their pregnancy to take care of these things, and the queen mother was also distracted by the children of the fourteenth master.
Now, no one dared to interfere in the affairs of the emperor's harem, for fear that she might say something wrong and cause the Fourteenth Master's family and children to be kicked out of the capital again.
Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan both gritted their teeth secretly - how could Concubine Zhao be so lucky! But when she appeared, the mountains above were all busy with their own things, and no one disciplined her!
After seemingly reconciling with Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan's second stop was An Lingrong.
She originally thought that since Shen Meizhuang could be easily persuaded after suffering such a great humiliation from her, An Lingrong should be even more easily persuaded. After all, as far as she knew, the emperor had not come to An Lingrong's place very often recently.
Who knew that An Lingrong actually refused!
An Lingrong is quite satisfied with her current life.
Her father passed away half a year ago, and her mother died of excessive grief. Her main goal now is to feed herself and the whole family. An Lingrong has no ambitions, as long as she can live a stable and comfortable life, she will be satisfied.
As for what Zhen agreed to say that the emperor didn’t like her, what does that matter?
Doesn’t An Lingrong herself dislike the emperor?
When you ask others to be sincere to you, first look at how much sincerity you have given.
At least for now, the emperor treated her well. He remembered her birthday and came to have dinner with her on her birthday and gave her a birthday present. Her share of money had never been deducted, and the emperor found a way for her to be self-reliant and no longer suffer from financial constraints.
That’s enough, this is all An Lingrong wants.
Being too greedy often leads to nothing. Besides, An Lingrong still hasn't forgotten what the emperor told her before, that Zhen Huan is honest and will do anything to make trouble. She must be stupid to give up her good life and go to mess with Zhen Huan and the others.
An Lingrong gently invited Zhen Huan to have tea, and then politely sent her away.
Zhen Huan couldn't believe that she was kicked out just like that, and the person who kicked her out was An Lingrong, whom she had taken in and helped before! She couldn't believe her eyes!
Oh my God, how dare she?
She is just the daughter of a minor official. I and my family have been so kind to her in the past. Now I want to help her out with good intentions, but she doesn't appreciate it?
Although An Lingrong spoke tactfully and her actions were polite, Zhen Huan still felt offended.
She was so angry that she could only cheer herself up secretly in her heart, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't look down on the young and poor!"
Fortunately, Zhen Huan's mood improved when Fang Chunyi accepted her recruitment.
Fortunately, Fang Chunyi was tactful enough. Zhen Huan thought that her simple and kind sister Chun'er had good vision. Otherwise, Zhen Huan would really doubt her own personality charm. She said, how could anyone not give face to her, a female Zhuge Liang?
After connecting the people together, Zhen Huan asked Shen Meizhuang and Fang Chunzhong to come to her Sui Yuxuan to discuss the plan together.
First of all, it is clear that the situation of these people is not good now. The Queen and Concubine Hua are about to give birth to a prince of considerable importance, while Concubine Zhao is now firmly in the favor of the Emperor. If these people do not change their ways, they may end up like Concubine Jing and Yu Ying'er.
Zhen Huan and the other two brainwashed themselves that they entered the palace solely for their families, and that they could no longer act like a loser and had to fight for favor. At least they had to be like Concubine Cao and have a child before they completely fell out of favor.
So, the three of them started a series of discussions about regaining favor/gaining favor.
That’s right, even though Fang Chunyi is old enough to serve the emperor in bed now, but because Pangju doesn’t like loli, especially the fake loli who are full of slander, he has always ignored the existence of Fang Chunyi in the palace.
Well, the specific manifestation is that she was neither given a salary nor used as an assembly line worker.
Fang Chunyi didn't know whether she should be glad that she had not been forgotten by the emperor. She was angry that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was taking advantage of the power of others and looking down on others, but fortunately, she had a good family background and was not short of that little money.
When the emperor set KPIs for people like Concubine Jing and made them work day and night, Fang Chunyi was glad that she was not remembered, otherwise it was hard to say whether she would become the next female assembly line worker.
But Fang Chunyi's ambition made her unwilling to be forgotten.
She had seen how favored Zhen Huan was before. The emperor's love for her couldn't be faked. So Fang Chunyi decided to take a gamble, she wanted to cling to Zhen Huan's thigh!
Facts have proven that Zhen Huan is indeed very good at packaging and making things look good.
While Shen Meizhuang was unreliably looking for a secret recipe for having a child, Zhen Huan had already started to package her in an attempt to attract the emperor's attention and give her a good start.
However, this method of gaining favor made Fang Chunyi a little hesitant.
