Chapter 344: Concubine Tai returns the gift, Concubine Nian is jealous
Even though she has become a concubine now, she must have some good things in her hands.
These so-called good things do not mean any valuable items, but connections, which have been established since the time of the previous emperor.
If she could get these things from the other party, then her help this time would be quite worthwhile.
Of course, even if it didn't matter, she helped the other party because she couldn't bear it. At the beginning, she didn't think so much.
Sure enough, not long after, a seemingly ordinary box was delivered to Fu Cha Zhixi.
"Empress Xuan, this is a gift that Concubine Guo specially asked me to give to you. Thank you for helping the princess."
A plain-looking young eunuch knelt on the ground and spoke to Fu Cha Zhixi quite respectfully.
"Concubine Guo is too polite. I am just a mother who cannot bear it. It is not a big deal. Why not leave this thing as the princess's dowry?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the young eunuch and said with a smile.
"Reporting to the queen, the Queen Concubine Tai ordered me to deliver it to the queen. If I take it back, I am afraid I will not be able to report it. I hope the Queen Concubine Xuan can accept it."
Seeing that Fu Cha Zhixi was about to refuse the other party, the smile on the young eunuch's face became even more respectful.
"In that case, I have received it."
Upon hearing this, Fu Cha Zhixi had no choice but to take the things.
Then he turned to Suqin and said.
"Go and get the pair of white jade hairpins that I prepared earlier."
Soon, Suqin came over holding an exquisite box.
"This is a dowry gift that I prepared for the princess. Although it is impossible for the princess to get married perfectly, this is a token of my appreciation. I am planning to send someone to deliver the gift to the princess, so you can take this pair of hairpins back to her."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the young eunuch and said.
"It's the lady."
The young eunuch took the box, bowed respectfully, and then retreated.
Fu Cha Zhixi opened the box that was sent to her and saw that it contained what she wanted most - a list of contacts.
Although the people here are all ordinary servants, they are indeed very helpful to her. After all, sometimes these seemingly insignificant people can often play a role at critical moments.
As expected, the late emperor’s harem could be described as an ancient version of Battle Royale, and the women who survived were not ordinary people.
A naive girl like Concubine Qi could only survive for so long in Yongzheng's harem. If she were in Kangxi's harem, she probably wouldn't survive more than three days.
You have to know that Emperor Kangxi's harem was so poor that he couldn't even find a suspect.
Yongzheng's harem could at least roughly guess who did it, but they just couldn't find any evidence.
Here, Concubine Nian felt sad as she looked at the increasingly scarce Huan Yixiang.
"Your Majesty, will you stay at Wufu Hall today, or go to Wanpin's place, or invite Concubine Nian to your favor?"
As Concubine Nian spoke, she kept putting Huanyi incense into the incense burner.
"Miss."
Songzhi looked at Concubine Nian who looked distraught and felt extremely upset. She couldn't help but open her mouth to comfort Concubine Nian, but she couldn't say anything.
"Did the Emperor go to Wanpin's place?"
Concubine Nian asked the answer she least wanted to hear.
Concubine Nian has always hated Zhen Huan. Now that Zhen Huan has simply lost her child, she blames it on herself, causing her to lose the Emperor's favor. This is truly despicable.
Before, when she heard that Zhen Huan had fallen out of favor, she was very happy, thinking that the emperor had recognized Zhen Huan's true face.
But not long after, Zhen Huan regained the emperor's favor because of some butterflies, but she was still treated coldly by the emperor and did not receive any favor from him. How could she not hate Zhen Huan?
It was all her fault that she had brought her to this point. If it weren't for her, how could the emperor have the heart to treat her like this.
Concubine Nian instinctively blamed everything on others and never thought about the sins she had committed, so she never reflected on the wrong things she had done until her death.
"As expected, the bitch knows how to seduce the emperor. I guess her previous refusal was just a pretense."
Concubine Nian guessed very keenly what Zhen Huan had done and expressed great disdain for it.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry and take care of yourself. The Emperor still has you in his heart. When the Emperor calms down, he will naturally come to see you."
Songzhi quickly spoke to comfort her.
Concubine Nian was choked by the fragrant aroma of Huanyi incense and started coughing. Songzhi hurried forward to support Concubine Nian.
"My queen, you have too many Huanyi incense sticks. Look, it's choking you."
"Really? Is it really choking?"
"But I can't smell any Huan Yi incense at all. I put so much Huan Yi incense in it, but I can't smell anything."
"If the emperor doesn't come, this Huanyi incense won't smell as good as before."
Concubine Nian looked at the almost empty Huan Yi incense in the box and said with a melancholy tone.
The next day.
"Now that Wanpin is well again, she can serve His Majesty again. I am really happy for you."
The Queen looked virtuous and dignified. She looked at Zhen Huan and said with a smile.
When Zhen Huan faced the murderer who killed her child, there was no strangeness on her face, but she replied with the same smile.
"Thank you, Queen. It is my honor to serve the Emperor again."
At this time, a young eunuch came in to report that Concubine Nian wanted to see her.
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan standing beside him and rejected her request in a calm tone.
But Concubine Nian seemed to have guessed the emperor's intention long ago, and she was very humble, only asking the emperor to see her.
The emperor, mindful of Concubine Nian's affection for him, agreed to let her in.
After Concubine Nian came in, she was also very sincere. She respectfully greeted the emperor and mentioned that she had copied scriptures for the emperor, trying to arouse the emperor's sympathy for her.
But the emperor did not show much sympathy for Concubine Nian. Instead, he sent the person back in a very calm tone.
Concubine Nian was naturally unwilling. She couldn't help but look at Zhen Huan beside her with deep jealousy in her eyes.
"It's strange that Wanpin has come out as well."
Zhen Huan naturally didn't bother to pay attention to Concubine Nian's sarcasm. Although her child was killed by the Queen, Concubine Nian was also responsible. She naturally couldn't let this vicious woman off.
The emperor saw this scene and couldn't help but frowning. It seemed that Concubine Nian still hadn't reflected on her own problems.
"Yes, Sister Concubine Nian, when Wanpin gets better she will come out naturally. I don't know when you will be able to come out."
Noble Lady Nian felt very happy when she saw Concubine Nian in such a miserable state. Now that she was disfigured and out of favor, the Nian family had completely given up on Concubine Nian and turned to support her alone.
