Chapter 39: Carelessness and Unhealthy Trends
"Hey, all of you eunuchs over there come over here."
Songzhi waved over there.
The eunuchs turned around and saw that it was Concubine Hua, and they quickly knelt down to pay their respects.
"Get up."
Hua Fei said lazily.
"Why are you walking so slowly? I don't know how long it will take to get to Yikun Palace."
"The sun is so scorching, and these green chrysanthemums are so delicate. They will wilt by the time we get them."
Concubine Hua frowned slightly, but her mood was extremely happy.
"Why not just leave it here and let me admire it before you send the things over."
"Empress Hua, this."
The eunuch wanted to say something hesitantly, but after looking at Concubine Hua's expression, he lowered his head in silence.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you being so shy?"
When Concubine Hua saw this, her expression changed slightly, and she looked at the eunuch in an unfriendly tone.
"The emperor ordered this green chrysanthemum to be sent to the Chrysanthemum Hall. The servants dare not act on their own."
The eunuch looked at Concubine Hua cautiously and said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Hua's face suddenly changed. She suppressed the anger in her heart and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.
"Then send it over quickly, lest the flowers wilt."
"Please forgive me, Empress Hua."
The eunuch quickly got up and left, fearing that he would accidentally become the scapegoat for Concubine Hua's anger.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it."
Songzhi knelt down at Concubine Hua's feet as if by reflex.
"Paws!"
Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi with a gloomy face and said unhappily.
It was the first time for her to lose face so much.
Who the hell does Shen Meizhuang think she is? She actually dares to steal my things.
Concubine Hua looked towards the direction of Xianfu Palace with gloomy eyes. She was determined to teach Shen Meizhuang a severe lesson.

"Little Master."
Yu Hu walked in from outside with brisk steps.
"What's wrong, so happy?"
Fu Cha Zhixi put down the collection of Li Bai's poems in his hand and looked at Yuhu with some curiosity.
"My lady, you don't know, Concubine Hua just lost her temper in Yikun Palace."
Yuhu smiled and told everyone what he had heard, with a tone full of gloating.
After all, she knew that Concubine Hua often bullied the young lady when paying respects.
"Why should we be happy about Concubine Hua losing her temper? Doesn't she lose her temper every day?"
Fu Cha Zhixi frowned and picked up the poetry collection again.
"Oh, my Lord, you don't know."
"This time, Concubine Hua lost her temper not because of you, my lady, but because of Concubine Shen."
Seeing that the young lady was not interested, Yuhu quickly continued speaking.
"How did Concubine Shen offend Concubine Hua? She has always been dignified and calm, and doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to provoke."
Fu Cha Zhixi pretended to be confused and asked.
Although she knew why Concubine Hua was angry at this moment, she couldn't show it.
"My lord, you don't know."
Seeing that the young lady was interested, Yuhu looked at her with a little pride.
"Just tell me now, why do you always keep us in suspense?"
Suqin poured a cup of tea for Yuhu helplessly, then looked at her and said.
"Hey, hey, I'll tell you right away."
"My lady, you don't know how embarrassed Concubine Hua was just now in the Imperial Garden."
"Hua Fei thought that the green chrysanthemums carried by the eunuchs were to be sent to the Yikun Palace, but she didn't expect that they were sent to the Cunju Hall."
"You don't know that Concubine Hua was so angry that her face turned black. As soon as Concubine Hua returned to Yikun Palace, she ordered the servants to take out all the chrysanthemums in the palace."
After taking a sip of tea, Yuhu said to everyone with a smile.
"So that's how it is. I guess Lady Shen won't have an easy life in the future."
Fu Cha Zhixi flipped the pages of the book carelessly and spoke in a flat tone.
"Yes, Concubine Hua has always been arrogant and domineering. This time she suffered such a great loss because of Juhua, she must have blamed this incident on Concubine Shen."
Yuhu nodded in agreement.
"That's good too. Since Concubine Hua is targeting Concubine Shen, she won't have the energy to bully the young lady."
Suqin couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, so that people in the palace won't always focus their attention on our Chengqian Palace."
Aunt Fangqiu also spoke with a smile.
"Okay, don't tell anyone about this, or you'll get into trouble."
Fucha Zhixi looked at Yuhu and spoke.
"Yes, my lord."
Everyone replied in unison.
Gyeongin Palace
After paying their respects, the concubines took their seats one by one.
There was only one seat left vacant, which was Shen Meizhuang's seat.
Fu Cha Zhixi took a glance and understood.
It seems that Concubine Hua did something.
But these have nothing to do with her, she just needs to sit quietly and watch the show.
After a while, Shen Meizhuang hurried in with her maid.
Before she even knelt down to pay her respects to the Queen, Concubine Li, Hua Fei's number one lackey, took the initiative to speak.
"Mrs. Shen has come really early today. Some people become arrogant once they receive a little favor. They even forget the time set by the ancestors to pay respects."
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. I am late in paying my respects today. I hope Her Majesty will forgive me."
Shen Meizhuang bowed to the queen as she spoke.
"The most important thing about greeting is sincerity. It doesn't hurt to be a little late occasionally."
"Get up."
The Queen probably guessed that Shen Meizhuang was late because of Concubine Hua, and she certainly would not punish Shen Meizhuang for such a small matter.
She believed that Concubine Hua would not let Shen Meizhuang go so easily. She just needed to wait and watch the show and be a good person at the end.
"Thank you, Queen."
Shen Meizhuang said with great gratitude.
"Give me a seat."
The Queen smiled and spoke.
"The Queen is indeed lenient to me, but the rules of this palace were set by our ancestors. If we just let it go after violating the palace rules, wouldn't that encourage unhealthy practices?"
Concubine Hua leaned back in her chair, looking at Shen Meizhuang with cold eyes and said.
"is not that right?"
"If everyone is like this, the harem will be in chaos."
Concubine Li snorted coldly, then took over Concubine Hua's words and started to criticize Shen Meizhuang.
Fu Cha Zhixi picked up the teacup and pretended to take a sip, but in fact, it didn't even wet his lips.
After all, no one can guarantee that the Queen, the captain of the abortion brigade, will not put drugs in tea and snacks.
"Your Highness, our noble lady was not late on purpose. It was just that a young eunuch splashed water on your clothes."
"Our noble lady had no choice but to return to the palace to change her clothes, which is why she is late."
The senior palace maid standing behind Shen Meizhuang took the initiative to come forward and explain.
It was too late for Shen Meizhuang to stop it.
"Whether you mean it or not, it's wrong. If it's wrong, it's wrong. There's no need to make so many excuses."
"If you can find an excuse to avoid punishment for being late, then no one will greet you on time in the future."
Hua Fei spoke in a bad tone.
