I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 160 Fu Cha Yi Xin 36

If Nian Shilan were restored to the position of Concubine Hua, she would easily relax her vigilance and return to her previous arrogant state. This would also give Nian Shilan an opportunity to reveal her whereabouts, and she could take this opportunity to kill her.

Through Zhen Huan's persuasion, the emperor restored Nian Shilan to the position of Concubine Hua.

As soon as she heard the news, Shen Meizhuang was confused, so she went to see Zhen Huan in anger. She knew very well that it was Concubine Hua who caused her to fall into the water, and her previous false pregnancy was also planned by Concubine Hua. Not to mention her, her own child was also indirectly caused by Concubine Hua.

Now, why does Huan'er do this?

In response to Shen Meizhuang's questioning, Zhen Huan explained it to her, but Shen Meizhuang disagreed. Is this the only way? She must restore Nian Shilan to the position of Concubine Hua in order to get rid of her.

So the two parted unhappily.

Looking at Shen Meizhuang's leaving back, Zhen Huan felt a little aggrieved. Why didn't Sister Mei understand her? She did all this to get rid of Nian Shilan.

It doesn’t matter. Once she gets rid of Concubine Hua, Sister Mei will understand her.

After Nian Shilan was restored to the position of Concubine Hua, the emperor once again doted on her. Logically, she should have been happy, but for some reason, she always felt uneasy in her heart.

I just feel that her favor at this moment is like a castle in the air, which might disappear at any time.

Moreover, her brother Nian Gengyao was also restless in the previous dynasty. She had advised him many times not to be so ostentatious, but he agreed on the surface, but actually did not agree in his heart.

He didn't think that the emperor would get rid of him. He had done too much before, but the emperor not only didn't punish him, he even showed him many rewards. So many court officials reported him, but he didn't care and was still arrogant.

But he didn't know that the emperor had been praising him to death before, and now he had murderous intentions towards him.

After Nian Shilan was restored to the position of Concubine Hua, the emperor came to Yikun Palace more often. During one dinner with Concubine Hua, the emperor suddenly praised Songzhi's white hands and asked her to serve him food. The emperor's behavior made Concubine Hua dissatisfied.

The emperor became interested in Songzhi, who was by her side. Even though she was dissatisfied, she dared not speak out. In order to consolidate her favor and not lose the emperor's favor, Concubine Hua sent Songzhi to the dragon bed.

Concubine Hua was jealous of this, but she had to do it. Firstly, she gave Songzhi to the emperor because she had just been restored to the throne and she had to pretend to be magnanimous. Secondly, she knew Songzhi's loyalty, and giving her to the emperor was also to give the Nian family some bargaining chips.

Now that the Nian family is on the rise, she wants Songzhi to find out the emperor's attitude towards the Nian family.

The emperor naturally knew what Concubine Hua was thinking, and he also accepted Song Zhi, who was offered to her by Concubine Hua.

The emperor naturally didn't like Songzhi. He accepted Songzhi to appease Concubine Hua and to send a signal to Concubine Hua that she was still his favorite.

On the other hand, he also wanted to confuse the Nian family and let them let down their guard. So after he accepted Songzhi, he repeatedly emphasized in front of her that he valued Nian Gengyao very much and praised his bravery and fighting skills many times.

After hearing what Songzhi said, she turned around and told Hua Fei. Hua Fei couldn't understand why this was a trap set by the Emperor. She just felt that the Emperor still cared about her and the Nian family and would not do it. So Hua Fei's uneasy heart finally settled down, and slowly she became as arrogant as before.

She even dared to intercept other people's favors and provoke other concubines as she did before. However, the emperor never punished her for this. Instead, he followed her wishes and came to the Yikun Palace.

Nowadays, every time the Emperor enters the harem, he spends most of his time resting at Concubine Hua's place. Of course, many people are dissatisfied with this, but no one dares to take action in the face of Concubine Hua's dominance.

Soon it was time to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, and all the favored concubines followed the emperor to the Old Summer Palace.

This time, the Queen Mother was devastated because her fourteenth child had an accident and she has been bedridden ever since. Although she has the careful care of the imperial physician, her physical condition is no longer as good as before, so it is impossible for her to go with her.

The Queen did not go this time either. After all, her headache had been intermittent and had not healed to this day.

The Old Summer Palace is not as strict as the palace. It is very relaxed here and basically all you have to do is enjoy yourself.

Yi Xin has spent the past few days since she came here having fun. Hong Yao is a little older now and the weather here is cooler, so she takes him with her every time she goes out to play.

She took him to see the scenery here. When she went out, she also saw Concubine Hua taking a leisurely walk, and Songzhi who had agreed to dress up beside her.

Although Songzhi had become a concubine, she was still like a palace maid in front of Concubine Hua and had to serve her.

When Concubine Hua saw Yi Xin, she looked unfriendly and spoke harshly. Yi Xin naturally would not tolerate it. As she was also a concubine and was from the Fucha clan, she was naturally more confident than Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei was angry, but Yi Xin fought back against her many times of provocation. If she was still a small noble like before, she would naturally teach her what the rules were.

But now, Yi Xin is on par with her, and even better than her. After all, Yi Xin has a prince, and the emperor has given her the right to manage the harem.

Since she was restored to the position of concubine, she has also mentioned to the emperor in a roundabout way that she wants to manage the harem, but the emperor has not agreed yet.

The only thing she has now is the emperor's favor. She lacks confidence and dares only talk about it to Yi Xin.

Yi Xin was naturally angry that Hua Fei dared to cause trouble to her even though she didn't. If she didn't know that she was about to be in great danger, she would definitely have taken action.

Soon, it was time for the banquet.

It is worth mentioning that the Imperial Observatory had previously stated that Zhen Huan and the Fourth Prince were incompatible, so in order for the plan to proceed smoothly this time, the Emperor had already sent the Fourth Prince to another farm before coming to the Old Summer Palace.

Wait until the matter is over and then send him back to the Old Summer Palace.

Zhen Huan dressed very differently at this banquet than usual. She wore brightly colored clothes and put on flamboyant makeup.

Yi Xin waved the fan in her hand and watched with great interest the next exciting scene that was about to unfold.

At the banquet, Zhen Huan was different from the past. This time she deliberately provoked Song Zhi and left Song Zhi speechless. Concubine Hua was very angry. What was Zhen Huan trying to do? She provoked Song Zhi, but Song Zhi was hers, so she was provoking her.

Seeing that Zhen Huan's eyes were full of anger, Concubine Hua started fighting with Zhen Huan. The other concubines were also a little confused as to what the purpose of this scene was.

Zhen Huan was good at talking and soon Concubine Hua was defeated, so she asked the emperor to help her. The emperor did not let Concubine Hua down and he not only protected Concubine Hua but also Song Zhi.

The Emperor also punished Zhen Huan for her rebellion by sending her to Penglai Prefecture for confinement and reflection.
