Chapter 240: Hitting the blind spot and setting a trap for Concubine Hua
"Could it be that Huipin saw the emperor and me together and became jealous, so she expressed it through the sound of the piano?"
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The music played by the guqin is inherently a bit cold. Although this piece of music is about lovers, it cannot avoid this."
In response to Concubine Hua's provocations, Shen Meizhuang chose to hit Concubine Hua's blind spot.
It's obvious that they are bullying you because you come from a military family and don't understand the twists and turns involved.
Zhen Huan couldn't help laughing as she listened to Sister Mei blaming the problem on Qin.
"is it?"
Concubine Hua really didn't know much about these musical instruments. After hearing what Shen Meizhuang said, she always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"I saw that Concubine Wan and you, Concubine Hui, played the same piece of music. Concubine Wan played it with more affection and lingering feelings. It seems that Concubine Hui herself was unwilling to play it well for me."
Concubine Hua glared at Shen Meizhuang fiercely and said.
"If your majesty insists on thinking this way, I can do nothing about it."
Master Shen Mei Manor did not want to give Concubine Hua any handle to hold against her, and spoke in a neutral tone.
Hearing this, Concubine Hua became angrier and angrier. She had called them over to humiliate these two, but now she was even angrier.
"you!"
"Okay, Concubine Hua."
"This zither has a sense of coolness and tranquility. Huipin is right."
The emperor couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he looked up at Concubine Hua and said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, this Huipin is bullying me because I don't understand these things. Your Majesty, you are still standing on Huipin's side. Your Majesty, you are biased."
Concubine Hua was overwhelmed by the emperor's recent concessions and favors. Seeing the impatience on the emperor's face, she still couldn't help but speak coquettishly.
"If you think so, then let them both go."
The emperor's patience was almost reaching its limit, and he spoke in a neutral tone.
"emperor."
Seeing that the Emperor was obviously angry, Concubine Hua didn't dare to continue making trouble.
She pursed her lips, looked at Shen Meizhuang and spoke.
"In that case, Huipin should not play for me. Let Concubine Wan play this song alone."
"Yes."
Shen Meizhuang didn't say much and just agreed straightforwardly.
Just accept it as soon as you see fit.
"Mr. Wan, please come here."
Concubine Hua waved at Zhen Huan, signaling her to continue playing.
Zhen Huan nodded without saying anything more.
She just understood that although Concubine Hua was domineering, the emperor was sitting next to her, so Concubine Hua did not dare to go too far.
As long as Concubine Hua doesn't catch them, she can't do anything to them.
"By the way, Songzhi, go get Lady Wan a glass of rose wine."
The more Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan's face, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she thought of a better way to humiliate Zhen Huan. She raised a smug smile and gave instructions to Song Zhi.
Zhen Huan frowned, somewhat puzzled as to what Concubine Hua was going to do.
Put drugs in the wine?
Concubine Hua was not so stupid, but she could not guarantee that such a thing would not happen.
But now that Concubine Hua was in such a state, he had no good reason not to drink the wine.
What's more, the emperor had just rejected Hua Fei's request, and now the emperor would not speak up to help Hua Fei with such a small request.
"My lady, I have caught a cold recently, so I am afraid that spicy food is not suitable for me."
Zhen Huan thought about it and refused.
"This is also a good intention of mine. The music played after drinking will naturally be more gentle and soft. If I don't drink this wine, what if I play like I just did? Wouldn't that be a waste of this beautiful scenery?"
Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhen Huan with a smile and rejected her excuse.
Zhen Huan knew that she couldn't escape, so she didn't say anything more.
Concubine Hua watched Zhen Huan drink the glass of wine with satisfaction. There was nothing in the wine itself.
But when she saw Zhen Huan drinking the wine despite being obviously reluctant, she couldn't help but let a smug smile appear on her face.
Zhen Huan sat back down beside the zither, playing and reciting the lyrics.
"The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred..."
As soon as this poem came out, Shen Meizhuang understood what Huan'er was going to do.
As expected, Huan'er is smart.
"If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?"
When she read the last sentence, Zhen Huan looked at the emperor tenderly, wanting to convey all her emotions to him.
The emperor naturally understood what Zhen Huan wanted to say. He sighed slightly, looked at Zhen Huan and nodded slightly.
The more Concubine Hua listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did she feel like this little bitch Zhen Huan was continuing to play the piano and flirting with the Emperor?
"Lady Wan, I just asked you to play the piano, why did you recite poetry?"
Concubine Hua interrupted the eye contact between Zhen Huan and the Emperor and questioned him in a bad tone.
"Reporting to Her Majesty Hua Fei, Her Majesty felt that the zither played by this concubine and Sister Mei was too cold and sad, and did not match the beautiful scenery at this time."
"So in order to make Her Majesty feel the lingering love, I naturally have to remove the coldness of the zither from other aspects. Adding this lyric that describes the long-lasting love between lovers will surely add the sentiment Her Majesty wants to this piece of music."
Zhen Huan calmly explained.
These words left Concubine Hua speechless. She knew that Zhen Huan used this song to seduce the Emperor, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Even her previous excuse for making trouble was perfectly blocked by Zhen Huan.
"Mr. Wan is eloquent, but you are acting on your own. I'm afraid you are deceiving your superiors and disrespecting your Majesty."
Concubine Hua challenged Zhen Huan in a very sharp tone.
"My lady, I have no such intention."
Zhen Huan calmly stood up and knelt before the emperor. She looked at him with aggrieved eyes and said.
"Your Majesty, please understand."
Concubine Hua didn't expect that this bitch Zhen Huan was still thinking about seducing the emperor even at this time. It was really hateful.
"Your Majesty, Huan'er definitely did not mean what Concubine Hua said."
"Huan'er just wanted to satisfy Concubine Hua, but she didn't expect Concubine Hua to misunderstand Concubine Wan."
Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang also knelt before the emperor, adding fuel to the fire.
Although he and Huan'er had not communicated in advance, they were able to tacitly come up with a plan to set a trap for Concubine Hua.
The more Concubine Hua looked at these two people, the more she felt that something was not right. She frowned and was about to say something when the Emperor interrupted her.
"Get up, I know you didn't mean that, it was Concubine Hua who misunderstood."
The emperor looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, especially the tearful look in Zhen Huan's eyes, which reminded him of the former Chun Yuan. He couldn't help but soften his voice and spoke.
