TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 140 Yixiu 9

In the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan was looking at the account book with Shen Meiyu, while Concubine Chun was happily eating a plate of rose pastries.

"My two sisters are amazing. They can figure out such complicated things, unlike me who knows nothing."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the innocent Chun Changzai with a loving expression, "You are still young. You will understand these things in the future. There is no need to rush."

"Will Sister Wan think I'm useless and like other sisters more in the future?" Chun Changzai put down the snacks in her hand and came in front of Zhen Huan to act coquettishly towards her.

"Of course not. It's much more lively here with you by my side. How could I dislike you?"

Zhen Huan touched Chun Changzai's slightly bulging belly, turned around and said to Shen Meizhuang with a smile: "It's good to be young. You don't worry about anything."

"It's nothing like us, dealing with these things all day long."

"That's right. Others only see the wealth of the Forbidden City, but this wealth is built on vast amounts of silver. The Emperor has just ascended the throne and has demanded frugality. This..."

Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly, with some sadness in her words.

She was also from a prominent family and had learned the skills of accounting and managing affairs at an early age, but there was still a gap between that and handling palace affairs.

One must not lose face for the royal family, but also be frugal and avoid extravagance.

"When I first entered the palace, I only heard that Concubine Hua was favored and domineering. Now it seems that dealing with these trivial matters all day long is already tiring, and then I have to accept that the person I like favors others. It would be annoying for anyone."

"What's wrong with Huan'er today? Why are you talking about this for no reason?"

Zhen Huan learned from Jin Xi how much favor Concubine Hua had enjoyed in the past, and compared it with her own treatment.

Although the emperor often visited Concubine Hua during her illness, he also often went to the harem.

An accidental encounter made Zhen Huan begin to examine her own status.

If the former favorite concubine couldn't get the emperor's true love, how could I, who had been with him for several months, do it?

Even though her father called her the female Zhuge Liang, Zhen Huan did not dare to be careless about matters of love. However, it was not convenient to talk about these things, so she smiled indifferently and passed it off casually.

"I just heard that Concubine Hua had to deal with much more things than we do in the past, and I just felt a little emotional."

Shen Meizhuang looked out the window and lowered her voice, "I heard that Concubine Hua paid a lot of money on her own when handling palace affairs."

"real or fake?"

Zhen Huan raised her head suddenly, and the paper in her hand was creased with creases.

"This is no secret in the palace. The Emperor demands frugality, but Concubine Hua doesn't want to lose face with the Emperor, so she has to pay out of her own pocket."

Shen Meizhuang's mood was indescribably complicated. What Hua Fei did was completely contrary to her mother's teachings.

But as a woman, she envied Hua Fei's temperament.

Since she could give so much without reservation, the relationship between the emperor and her must be very deep.

Zhen Huan nodded thoughtfully, trying hard to suppress the rebellious thoughts in her mind.

I felt a little jealous when Sister Mei was favored, let alone Concubine Hua.

It is natural for high-ranking concubines to not welcome herself and others. Before a fierce conflict breaks out, Zhen Huan will not hold a grudge against anyone.

What confused her was the emperor's attitude. Did he really care?

"Regardless of Concubine Hua's personality, she treats the Emperor with all her heart."

"Who says it isn't?"

"I don't understand what the two sisters are talking about. What kind of true feelings are they? In my eyes, they are not as important as a bowl of pork elbow."

Chun Changzai's innocent words made both of them laugh, instantly drawing the attention away from the somewhat heavy topic.

The Nian Mansion was powerful, and the things Hua Fei ordered were quickly concluded.

She patiently sent out several letters in succession, and only then did she manage to calm the furious Nian Gengyao and make him believe that he was not being plotted against or bullied by anyone.

She already knew the effects of Huanyixiang, and she believed most of what the Queen said. Today she just asked the imperial physician to come and confirm it.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Aside from causing infertility in women, Huan Yi Xiang is a rare and valuable medicinal herb that has many benefits for the human body."

Doctor Shen seemed to be blind to the gloomy expressions on Concubine Hua and Songzhi's faces. Fearing that they would not believe him, he added another sentence.

"You are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you."

Concubine Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The imperial physician her brother had found was truly skilled in medicine.

She has no vision at all, and her mouth is so cold, even more poisonous than hers.

She impatiently shook the handkerchief in her hand, held her forehead with one hand, and closed her eyes, refusing to look at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground.

"Alright, alright, I understand, you can go down now."

"My minister retire."

After the person left, Concubine Hua picked up the piece of paper that she had thrown on the table.

When I opened it, I saw that it was densely packed with my preferences and doctor's instructions...

Songzhi also chimed in, "The general is so kind to the queen. He spent a long time looking for this imperial physician, and he specially trained her before sending her here."

"The general is worried that the queen has suffered any injustice!"

Hua Fei raised her chin, and her bad mood of recent days finally improved. "That's right, brother treats me the best."

"But this imperial physician is truly despicable. All the medicinal recipes he prescribes contain coptis root, knowing full well that I cannot endure hardship!"

Songzhi smiled slyly, "Your Majesty, you guessed wrong. The imperial physician brought a large bag of candied fruits when he first arrived."

"I just had someone look at them, and they were all the plums you love to eat."

"That's more like it. Let's go to Jingren Palace to meet the Queen."
