Chapter 238: Being complacent and picking on the weak
"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't."
"The emperor's favor can sometimes really make people go crazy, especially someone like Concubine Hua who already loves the emperor."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong meaningfully and said.
"That's true. Concubine Hua has always looked down on people like us. Now that she has been favored by the emperor, she is naturally very proud and forgetful."
An Lingrong nodded in agreement.
"Sister, why is the Queen so quiet? She doesn't seem to be showing any intention of taking action."
"Isn't the Queen going to just let it go like this?"
An Lingrong asked with some curiosity.
"It won't be forgotten. After all, the emperor has not touched the Nian family at all except for making amends to the Ulanara family. How can the queen tolerate this?"
Fu Cha Zhixi did not think that the queen was a magnanimous person. After suffering such a great loss, she naturally wanted to find a way to retaliate.
"The Nian family is really arrogant. They even dare to be so cruel to the people of the Queen's mother's family. Aren't they afraid that the other party will retaliate?"
An Lingrong couldn't understand why the Nian family dared to be so arrogant.
"Let me tell you this."
Seeing that An Lingrong seemed very confused, Fu Cha Zhixi thought for a moment and leaned over to whisper in An Lingrong's ear.
"Didn't I go to the banquet with Concubine Hua that day? Nian Gengyao was also there."
"You don't even know what he did. I'm afraid it'll scare you if I tell you."
"What did he do, sister? Tell me quickly."
An Lingrong is not as depressed and deep-minded as in the original plot, but rather a bit more lively.
She pulled Fucha Zhixi's sleeve and asked curiously.
"He asked Eunuch Su to serve him at dinner."
Fucha Zhixi said softly.
"what?"
An Lingrong covered her mouth with a handkerchief in disbelief, which prevented her from screaming.
"This Nian Gengyao is too outrageous. How dare he do that?"
"So, the emperor finally agreed to let him do this?"
Although she was shocked, An Lingrong did not forget to confirm it again.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't think the Nian family is about to be finished."
Fu Cha Zhixi nodded very confidently and said.
"Eunuch Su is a man close to the emperor. He has never served anyone else except the emperor."
"Could this be Nian Gengyao?"
She didn't dare to say the remaining words, but she believed that her sister must understand what she meant.
"I don't know about this, but it's clear that they don't take the emperor seriously. I guess Nian Gengyao really regards the emperor as his brother-in-law and himself as his elder brother-in-law."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and couldn't help but complain.
"I think so. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he can be so arrogant."
An Lingrong also nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.
"Who the hell is Nian Gengyao? He actually dares to call the emperor a relative. Even the emperor's father-in-law doesn't dare to show off in front of the emperor."
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
Here, Concubine Hua was bored. She looked at the emperor who was reading a book and couldn't help but make a suggestion.
"I heard that the emperor likes to listen to Concubine Wan playing the piano, and he also gave Chang Xiangsi to Concubine Wan. Why not ask Concubine Wan to come and play a song, so that I can have fun with the emperor."
Concubine Hua was filled with hatred when she thought about how Zhen Huan had used tricks to snatch the emperor away from her, so she thought of calling her over to humiliate her, and she thought the emperor would not disagree.
Of course, she also hated Concubine Xuan. After all, Concubine Xuan's brother had mocked her brother many times at the banquet before, and had often opposed her brother in the court in recent days.
But now Concubine Xuan has a prince by her side, and the Fucha family is standing behind her, so she can't do anything to her for the time being.
It's human nature to pick on the weak.
Concubine Hua understood that even if she wanted to let Concubine Xuan come, the emperor would never agree, and it might even anger the emperor.
It would be better to use Zhen Huan to establish his authority. The emperor has rarely visited Zhen Huan's palace during this period, which shows that Zhen Huan has also lost the emperor's favor. Besides, Zhen Yuandao is only a fourth-rank Shaoqing of the Dali Temple and is not to be feared at all.
I think the emperor will not refuse my proposal.
"It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Why are you asking people to come here? You don't mind the trouble."
The Emperor did not expect that Concubine Hua would actually make such a request. She and her brother are indeed members of the Nian family. One asked the servants who served me to serve him meals, and the other asked the concubine who played the piano for me to play the piano for her.
The emperor's eyes darkened, but there was not much expression on his face.
If Concubine Hua insisted, he would naturally not refuse. After all, Concubine Wan was a reasonable person and she would understand his difficulties.
"emperor."
Concubine Hua looked at the emperor coquettishly and spoke in a long voice.
"I have never heard the tune played with Chang Xiang Si."
"In that case, call her."
When Concubine Hua saw that the emperor agreed, she was delighted and felt that the emperor would indeed meet all her requirements.
It seems that Zhen Huan is just a new thing in the emperor's heart. When the novelty wears off, she will return to him.
"Zhou Ninghai, go and invite the people over."
"And bring the piano as well."
Concubine Hua gave instructions to Zhou Ninghai with great pride.
"Come on, I'll go right away."
Zhou Ninghai responded.
Su Peisheng took a look at the emperor's unhappy expression and his heart sank.
In the emperor's heart, Concubine Wan is a substitute for Queen Chunyuan. Concubine Hua's humiliation of Concubine Wan is actually humiliating Queen Chunyuan.
How could the Emperor tolerate Concubine Hua insulting Queen Chunyuan? But since the Emperor had agreed, it meant that he would keep this humiliation in his heart and wait to settle the score in the future.
"Greetings to Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui. May the two young ladies be blessed with good health."
Zhou Ninghai looked at Zhen Huan with malice in his eyes and said.
"Why is Eunuch Zhou here?"
Zhen Huan was playing chess with Sister Mei at the moment. When she saw Zhou Ninghai come in, she asked with some confusion.
"The Emperor said he wanted to hear Concubine Wan play the piano and is waiting for her in the Yikun Palace."
"The Emperor also instructed me to let Lady Wan bring Chang Xiang Si with her."
Zhou Ninghai naturally knew that his queen hated Concubine Wan, and of course he hated Concubine Wan too.
Jin Xi could tell at a glance that Zhou Ninghai had ill intentions and looked at Zhen Huan with some worry.
Shen Meizhuang's eyebrows were raised, and she questioned Zhou Ninghai in a sharp tone.
"The Emperor is in the palace of Concubine Hua at the moment, so it might be inconvenient for Concubine Wan to go there."
"My lady, this is the Emperor's order. I am only here to pass on his message. Please don't embarrass me."
Zhou Ninghai spoke.
