Chapter 265 Adding fuel to the fire for Miss Lingzhi
These things and Xiao Dingzi's miserable condition were always circulated among the palace ladies, so Ling Xiang didn't worry that Fuzi was not honest.
Compared with Concubine Hua's ruthlessness, she felt that she was just a drop in the bucket.
Fu Zi had just moved a stool out from the inner room, and Ling Xiang said she was sleepy and wanted to go in and take a nap.
"I'm sleepy, Fuzi, help me in and let me sleep for a while." Ling Xiang stretched out her slender hand towards Fuzi.
"Yes." Fu Zi put down the stool in his hand and helped Ling Xiang in.
"My lady, the bird's nest is hanging on the small stove. You have to use it before you go to bed." Fuzi asked.
Ling Xiang was very satisfied with Fu Zi's obedience: "Then drink it and go to sleep."
Fuzi went to the hanging stove and took out a cup of bird's nest for Lingxiang to drink.
It rained heavily and thunder rumbled.
In the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan leaned in Yongzheng's arms and recited poems to him.
"When will we light the candle in the west window together and talk about the night rain in Bashan?" Zhen Huan listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves outside the window, a happy and satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"In this situation, Wanwan, having you is enough for me." Usually the emperor calls Zhen Huan Huanhuan, this is the first time the emperor calls herself Wanwan.
Wanwan, that’s fine too, Wan is my own title.
"It is enough for me to have Shiro."
······ ······
The next morning, the emperor got up from the Sui Yuxuan, and Zhen Huan remembered to dress the emperor and send him to the morning court.
The Emperor felt sorry for Zhen Huan and held her down to prevent her from getting up. He then pointed to Huanbi, who came in with water for washing his face, to help him dress.
Huanbi was dressed plainly today, wearing only a green dress, with her hair simply combed into a palace maid's bun and one or two jade-colored pearl flowers on her temples.
When Huanbi heard the emperor calling her, she pinched herself secretly, suppressed her inner excitement, and went forward to put on the dragon robe and tie the belt for the emperor.
Her every move was very measured, and to others it was hard to tell that Huanbi had any different thoughts.
Just as the emperor opened his hands and Huanbi lowered her head to tie the belt for him, the emperor glanced down and saw that there was a slight similarity between Huanbi's eyebrows and those of Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan looks like Chun Yuan, but Huanbi doesn’t. Huanbi just looks a little like Huan Huan.
"This girl has calmed down a lot. You have taught her well. I will leave first and come to see you later."
Zhen Huan stretched out on the bed, lingered on the edge of the bed, rested her chin on her arm, looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, have a good trip. Don't forget that you have to go to Jingren Palace to visit the Empress today."
"I see. You are indeed going to be my mother, and you have become so nagging." The emperor bent down and scratched the tip of Zhen Huan's nose, then left Sui Yuxuan.
"Huanbi, please help me wash up. I don't want to sleep anymore." Zhen Huan gave the order after the emperor left.
This girl is not so reckless today. Let's wait and see.
The emperor looked at Huanbi seriously today, but she was not so happy when she was dressing Zhen Huan. She was excited when the emperor asked her to help dress her just now.
But Huanbi was a little hesitant at this moment. She didn't seem to be looking forward to the emperor seeing her and favoring her.
She felt that the emperor was a little old...
The excitement just now was nothing more than the sudden surprise of something she had been looking forward to for a long time. After a moment, Huanbi realized that she was no longer looking forward to it.
Is this really how my life is going to be?
Huanbi's movements in combing Zhen Huan's hair became slower and Zhen Huan noticed something was wrong with Huanbi from the makeup mirror.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhen Huan asked.
"Oh, I didn't think about anything. The kitchen cooked mushroom, shredded chicken and minced meat porridge for you this morning. You've been in a bad mood these past few days. Now that the emperor is back, you feel relieved. You must eat more later to make up for what you lost in the past few days."
Huanbi came back to her senses and continued what she was doing.
"The enthronement ceremony will be held in a few days. You have to be more careful in your work these days and don't give others any excuses." Zhen Huan reminded Huanbi.
"Yes, I know the importance of this." Huanbi thought of her family and smiled happily, "The young lady was made a concubine just after she became pregnant. This is a blessing that many people want but cannot have. The master and his wife must be happy for the young lady when they hear this outside the palace."
When Zhen Huan heard Huanbi mention their father Zhen Yuandao, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

The main hall of Yikun Palace.
"How is it? How is it?" Zhou Ninghai came in and reported what Concubine Hua had asked him to do two days ago.
"Your Majesty, everything is normal in Chuxiu Palace, nothing special." Zhou Ninghai was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.
This time, he spent a purse of copper coins to find the eunuch in Chuxiu Palace to ask about the situation.
The young eunuch talked a lot in a long-winded way and took his money, but Zhou Ninghai went through it again and couldn't find any valuable information.
"Nothing special?" Concubine Hua was a little disappointed and frowned. "Tell me what you heard."
Zhou Ninghai listened to the instructions and took out the small notebook he carried with him from his sleeve.
Zhou Ninghai didn't need this little notebook, but every time he reported on the daily life of the Yanx Palace, he knew it clearly, so he simply took a brush and a booklet to write it down.
After reporting to Concubine Hua, he would throw it into the stove in the small kitchen to add fuel to the fire for Miss Lingzhi when he went out.
And Zhou Ninghai would watch the booklet burn to ashes before leaving.
I didn't expect that I would still use the booklet when I went to inquire about Chuxiu Palace this time.
Through field investigations, in-depth visits, written reports and work reports, Zhou Ninghai feels that he can be called the number one model worker in Yikun Palace.
Zhou Ninghai read from the small notebook from the first day of April to the tenth day of April, and even recorded the time when Concubine Hui went to the toilet and the time when she went to bed.
In daily life, I either take Jinghe for a stroll in Xianfu Palace or take her for a stroll in Suiyuxuan.
Or An Changzai would occasionally take some time to go to Chuxiu Palace to hug Jinghe to see if she had gained weight. Afterwards, An Changzai would send Baoque to Chuxiu Palace to deliver the new bellyband that Jinghe was going to wear.
Concubine Hua: It’s really hard for An Lingrong, she has to be busy with her career and socialize at the same time.
"Is that all?" Concubine Hua asked again unwillingly.
"Really, there is nothing more. Oh, there is one more thing. On the first day of the new year, the Empress sent the account books of various palaces to Concubine Hui for her to study. Concubine Hui did not even look through them. Two days ago, she asked Huang Gui to take them all back."
Concubine Hua: As expected, no surprises.
"Anything else?" Hua Fei asked again unwillingly.
"It's really gone, my master. Every day, while Concubine Hui waits for Lord Wen to check her pulse, she either goes out, writes and draws in her palace, or plays with the princess..." Zhou Ninghai wanted to present his little notebook directly to Concubine Hua and let her read it herself.
This little notebook was extremely boring as it contained a diary of events. Zhou Ninghai was afraid that Concubine Hua would dislike it, so he summarized it briefly, combined some common items, and only mentioned the different points of each day.
