Chapter 283 It turns out that Baji is inherited from ancestors
Ever since Lipin started to rely on Huafei, on the surface, Huafei was on top and Lipin was on the bottom.
But Concubine Hua is a sincere person. Since she is her own person, she will treat her sincerely.
So in the past, no matter what Concubine Li said, no matter what good things in Concubine Hua's palace she liked, as long as she lowered her head and kept her mouth half open, she could get them.
This time, Lipin wanted Huafei to plead with the emperor on her behalf and let her raise Lingxiang's child. Unexpectedly, Huafei didn't even respond to her words.
Concubine Li left the Yikun Palace with a lonely look. What the Queen asked her to do was too risky, so she still wanted to seek Concubine Hua's protection again.
I didn't expect to get a cold reception.
Hua Fei, when did she become so clear-headed?
"Miss Songzhi, you are an elder by the side of the Empress. Please plead for me." Lipin took out the purse from her sleeve. This was the worst plan she had planned before coming here.
As Lipin spoke, she stuffed the purse into Songzhi's hand.
Songzhi immediately handed the purse of silver back to Concubine Li.
"Empress Li, you are the master and I am your servant. If you have anything to say, you can just tell me. There is no need to do this." Songzhi politely rejected Concubine Li.
Lipin secretly complained in her heart that the people in Yikun Palace were really impenetrable.
In the past, Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai often collected money from outside.
It’s just that in the past, Concubine Li was too disdainful to take care of them.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty. Please come to Yikun Palace often when you have time. I will take you here now." Songzhi bowed politely to Concubine Li and turned to enter the Yikun Palace.
Then Xiao Huanzi locked the door of Yikun Palace.
Songzhi: I tell you, Xiao Huanzi, don’t be too smart.
-------------------------------------
Prince Dun made a huge joke at Concubine Wan's birthday party, and the news spread throughout the court.
The old censors from the Censorate with goatees on their chins puffed out their necks, quoted scriptures and classics in the court, and denounced Prince Dun for being disrespectful to the emperor and deserving severe punishment.
There were also a few old men who brought up the incident where Prince Dun had deliberately asked the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Service to leave, which almost delayed the Queen and the Princess' medical consultations.
The arrogant and conceited memorials submitted by Prince Dun piled up like a small mountain on the desk in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
The royal family and the army of censors from the Censorate had been arguing for more than half a month, and every day the emperor didn't have to drink a cup of strong tea before going to court.
Looking at their spitting, the emperor dozed off on the dragon throne with his chin propped up.
They waited until their arguments were exhausted and the royal family members led by Prince Dun started to point at each other and call each other a bunch of idiots.
The emperor looked at the censors who were talking nonsense and calmly promoted the official position of Zhen Yuandao, the father of Concubine Wan, to the position of Chief Censor of the Censorate, which calmed the censors' anger.
After the court session, the emperor gifted countless gold, silver, jewelry, and precious medicinal herbs to Prince Dun's mansion, praising Prince Dun for loving his wife, having a harmonious relationship with his wife, and having a harmonious backyard, saying that he should be a model for the royal family and all officials.
After giving a sweet gift, the court finally calmed down a lot.
While Xin Chang was talking about this, she was munching on the mulberries that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had just presented to Concubine Hua.
Xin's lips turned black and her hands became jet-black from eating, but she continued to eat.
It tastes sour and sweet, and is very appetizing. Fortunately, Linglong went to the study to study today, so no one came to snatch the fruit from her.
The above immersive retellings all come from Xin Changzai’s father.
The emperor ordered that Xin Changzai's father be transferred back to Shu from Qiongzhou to take up a post. Xin Changzai's father was grateful for the emperor's kindness and specially came to the capital to thank the emperor for his grace.
Hua Fei had only heard Xin Changzai say this last time when they were eating hotpot, so she tactfully mentioned it to her brother in a letter home, asking if they could find a way to get Lord Lu to return to his hometown to take up the post.
I didn’t expect my brother to be so efficient. He really took her words to heart.
"Lord Lu has finally come to the capital, and the emperor has specially allowed you and your daughter to meet. Is this all you talked about?" Concubine Hua asked with a frown. In her opinion, when the family is reunited, wouldn't they cry and keep asking if everything is okay at home?
"Oh, madam, what could be more interesting than gossip? My father is not a sour scholar who gets emotional when seeing something. When I was in the boudoir, my father often told me some interesting stories from the outside world."
Xin Chang rubbed the black juice on her fingers on the handkerchief, and a little black and purple ink stain appeared on the plain white handkerchief.
Hua Fei: It turns out that Baji is inherited from our ancestors.
"Otherwise, where did I get the material for my storybook? These are what my father told me since I was a child, and I have always kept them in my mind." Concubine Xin rolled her eyes at Concubine Hua, as if she was seeing nothing.
Hua Fei specially arranged for Xin Changzai and her father to meet, but she never expected that they were both chatting about gossip.
But Lord Lu also brought Linglong several large bags of Qiongzhou specialty snacks, and today, Concubine Xin specially brought some every day.
There were coconut cakes, coconut biscuits, coconut candies and coconut crisps. The lychees from Qiongzhou were also good, but they were difficult to preserve due to the long journey to the capital. So Lord Lu sent a cart of coconuts to Concubine Xin, and behind the cart of coconuts were twelve plump and agile Wenchang chickens.
When Xin Chang came to Yiku Palace, she also picked up a bunch of coconuts and two Wenchang chickens that were clucking loudly from Changchun Palace.
When Concubine Hua saw Xin Chang walking towards her excitedly with a coconut in one hand and a chicken in the other, she was silent for a long time.
It was not until the chicken hanging on the ground cried out in anger twice that Concubine Hua spoke slowly: "Songzhi, throw these two chickens into the kitchen and slaughter them."
The last time the child broke through Concubine Hua's cognition was when Concubine Xin rushed to Yikun Palace with a shovel to look for the child.
"Hey, Madam, let me tell you something. My father told me that those old men in the court were stubbornly confronting Prince Dun. It was obvious that someone was behind this. Some of the people in the Censorate were old friends of my father and had even hinted to him."
Xin Chang looked left and right and whispered in Hua Fei's ear.
Concubine Hua: Actually, there are no outsiders in the Yikun Palace. You can just say it directly.
Xin Changzai: No, there’s no atmosphere like this.
"Can you tell me this kind of news?" Hua Fei asked with a frown.
"Well, my father is a good person, and everyone is willing to talk to him." Xin Changzai didn't think there was anything strange about this.
Concubine Hua: ······ ······
"My Lady, do you think Zhen Yuandao and the Imperial Censorate are here to help Wanpin vent her anger?"
Hua Fei thought not. According to Wanpin's personality, her father was also a stubborn man with a scholarly character. It was impossible for him to save face for his daughter in the previous dynasty for a trivial matter in the harem.
This situation is more reasonable when it comes to my brother.
However, the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and Concubine Hua did not think too much about it. Anyway, she did not involve the Yikun Palace.
But there was a detail here that aroused Hua Fei's suspicion.
