Chapter 11: Xin Chang has a miscarriage
"How did Xin Changzai have a miscarriage?"
"I heard that she slipped and fell in her own palace, and the child was lost."
Songzhi's voice became lower and lower, for she was afraid that when Concubine Hua heard that the child was gone, she would think of her own miscarriage. She ate a large plate of pickles in the palace.
When Concubine Hua heard this, she frowned.
Songzhi carefully observed Concubine Hua's expression and her heart began to lift.
Concubine Hua was thinking, how could Concubine Xin fall down for no reason in her own palace? Besides, she was already five months pregnant and the fetus was already firmly seated, how could she lose the baby by falling down?
Concubine Hua thought of her lost child. Although a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine killed her, she was still able to ride a horse when she was five months pregnant, and nothing happened to her at that time.
Concubine Hua remained silent all the way. She returned to Yiku Palace in a sedan chair and was about to enter the main hall.
From the corner of my eye, I saw workers moving a dwarf pine bonsai. The color of the moss on the pebbles was particularly fresh.
"Did Concubine Xin send this a few days ago?" Concubine Hua stopped and asked the palace maid.
The palace servant put down his work and answered honestly that it was that basin.
Hua Fei walked closer and took a closer look, but found nothing wrong.
She waved her hand and told the palace maid to go back to her work. Concubine Hua then entered the main hall.
Taking the tea handed over by the palace maid, Concubine Hua took a sip and said:
"Songzhi, go to the flower room and check what flowers and plants are sent to Changchun Palace on weekdays."
Songzhi finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on her mind. Concubine Xin's miscarriage did not affect Concubine Hua.
"Everday, Changchun Palace likes to send some dwarf pine bonsai. Concubine Qi is devoted to the Third Prince and usually doesn't take care of flowers and plants. Only Xin Changzai likes to take care of bonsai."
When Zhou Ninghai saw his master asking a question, he quickly stepped forward to show his skills.
"How did you know?" Hua Fei was a little puzzled. Has Zhou Ninghai's information network been set up so widely?
"Didn't Her Majesty ask me to deploy personnel in each palace the other day? I am not talented enough to know what kind of news Her Majesty needs. Just ask them to report everything. I will then reward them based on the importance of the news."
Concubine Hua burst out laughing.
"How much money did you pay for this news?" Hua Fei put down the teacup, picked up a dried apricot and put it into her mouth, frowning unconsciously.
"I thought it was just ordinary news, so I gave him five cents."
Zhou Ninghai secretly decided that he would double the number of spies in Changchun Palace later.
Just a random word could earn them five cents. Zhou Ninghai did not treat them unfairly this time.
"Go and ask in detail what Concubine Xin's preferences are in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities. Don't leave out any aspect." Concubine Hua picked up another dried apricot. Although it was sour, she couldn't stop eating it.
***
In the evening, in the Palace of Mental Cultivation.
The emperor was sitting at his desk reviewing memorials, daydreaming, when he heard Xiao Xiazi and a young eunuch talking outside the door.
"Have you heard? Today, the six palaces are going to see the Queen, and Concubine Hua is going despite her illness."
"Ah? Didn't someone say before that Concubine Hua was pretending to be sick?"
Through the paper window, Yongzheng saw Xiao Xiazi hit another young eunuch's hat with a whisk.
"Are you stupid? You believe in such nonsense. Concubine Hua values her power to assist in managing the six palaces the most. If she wasn't really ill, why would she give up the power to assist in managing the six palaces?"
"Eunuch Xia, you are the best." The young eunuch straightened his hat and put on a flattering smile.
"I heard that a concubine named Xia performed the palace maid etiquette in front of the Empress and Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua found out, but the concubine refused to admit her mistake, which made Concubine Hua so angry that her face turned pale." Xiao Xiazi felt very comfortable being flattered and continued to talk about the news he had heard.
Humans have always had the ability to spread gossip and enjoy spreading it.
Su Peisheng, who was in the hall, saw that his apprentice was becoming more and more outrageous. Just as he was about to stop him, he saw the emperor raising his hand to signal him not to make a sound.
"Then Concubine Xia must have been severely punished." The young eunuch thought about Concubine Hua's harsh methods in the past.
"No way. The Queen Mother only asked Xia to follow the nanny to learn the rules for another three months. The Queen Mother is so kind~" Xiao Xiazi shook his whisk and straightened his collar.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yongzheng put down his pen.
"Have you heard about this?"
"Yes, I heard that Concubine Hua had a constant headache when she woke up this morning, but she still insisted on going to pay her respects to the Queen. When she arrived there, she sat for a while and then left. Apart from what happened to Concubine Xia, I didn't hear anything else." Su Peisheng replied.
"I'm going to see Concubine Hua."
Su Peisheng: "Go to Yikun Palace."
Suddenly, the master's voice was heard from inside the hall. Xiao Xiazi was startled and quickly stood up and opened the door.
After the emperor left, Su Peisheng, who was following behind him, glared at Xiao Xiazi.
Concubine Hua had never thought that the emperor would come recently. According to the rules of the previous life, the emperor should favor Shen Meizhuang tonight.
I didn't expect that I would come to Yikun Palace.
As there was no preparation, Concubine Hua stood outside the main hall door to welcome the emperor with her hair loose and wearing a light blue nightgown.
I thought that when the emperor saw me like this, he would just sit for a while and then leave.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I had a headache this morning, but it's nothing serious."
The emperor sat on the Luohan couch and looked at Hua Fei's plain face. She seemed to have lost some weight, but still looked very pretty. He couldn't help it and said, "I will not leave today."
Concubine Hua was shocked. She had already given up the green card, but the emperor still wanted to keep it!
"Your Majesty, please don't let your illness get to you. I can't bear it."
When the emperor saw Concubine Hua's gentle look as she lowered her head to refuse, his heart warmed and he directly held Concubine Hua's hand.
"Don't worry, I will only sleep with you tonight and won't do anything else."
As he spoke, the emperor took Concubine Hua's hand and walked into the bedroom.
Hua Fei had no way to refuse and could only go to sleep.
After lying down, the emperor really just lay there, saying a few words of daily conversation.
"You have been in good health since you entered the palace, but this time you are too sick to help with the six palaces. I think it's because you are overworked every day. That Xia Shi was disrespectful to you. Shilan, I'm sorry for you."
Concubine Hua was a little moved. Did the man next to her have any affection for her?
Realizing that her love-brain was beginning to revive, Hua Fei quickly stopped her terrible thoughts.
"As long as the emperor cares about me, I will not feel wronged."
Concubine Hua lay in Yongzheng's arms.
It turns out that showing weakness is so useful. I never knew this in my previous life.
"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to pay respects to the Queen. Wait until you are fully recovered before going."
The Emperor put his arm around Concubine Hua’s shoulders.
"Isn't this disrespectful to the Queen?"
"It's okay. I'll go tell the Queen. She is the most tolerant and generous person and will definitely understand you."
Hua Fei thought that the Queen was petty and jealous, and she would be furious when she heard this.
Nothing happened that night. One day, the emperor went to Jingren Palace after his morning court session.
