Chapter 182 Waiting for Songzhi to finish saying "Pooh"
Two red palm marks immediately appeared on Ling Xiang's delicate white face.
"You have served me for many years. I have given you silver every year and every month. I have also given you rewards every year and festival. How dare you ask for a reward?"
Concubine Hua hates to hear the word "affection" the most. She and the emperor have been husband and wife for many years, so so?
In the end, it’s time to kill or throw away.
Ling Xiang is actually worthy of talking about kindness.
"You have followed me for many years, but you don't know what I hate the most. Today's two slaps are to teach you a lesson."
"Since you still want someone from me, I can help you." Concubine Hua thought Ling Xiang was stupid. She even followed the Queen with such a plan. "Tell me, who do you want?"
"Thank you, Madam. I want a blessed child."
"Ms. Ling, didn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs assign you a palace maid? Why do you have to trouble yourself to come to Concubine Hua's palace to ask for a palace maid?" Concubine Chun didn't understand. It seemed that this woman from the Ling position came here today specifically to get slapped.
"Maybe everything in Concubine Hua's palace is fragrant, and all the women in Lingguan want it." An Lingrong said lightly.
Concubine Qi then snorted.
Ling Xiang: Why do these women talk so much?
"No, I had a very good relationship with Fuzi when I was in Yiku Palace. Now I live in Zhongcui Palace and feel a little lonely. I want Fuzi to come over and keep me company." Ling Xiang was still kneeling on the ground, her cheeks burning with pain.
Songzhi: "Bah! When Huixiang left the palace, your room was vacant, but you didn't invite Fuzi to live with you."
Songzhi spat at Lingxiang lying on the ground.
"Songzhi, go call Fuzi over." Concubine Hua waited for Songzhi to finish saying "Pooh" before giving the order.
Concubine Hua was confident that Fu Zi would not be willing to go with Ling Xiang. As long as Fu Zi said she didn't want to, Concubine Hua would immediately drive Ling Xiang out of Yikun Palace.
Zhen Huan and the other concubines who entered the palace later did not quite understand what the cause and effect of Fu Zi was. However, Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin knew it well. Fu Zi was a palace maid selected by the Queen based on Concubine Hua's appearance and was given to Concubine Hua in an attempt to get Fu Zi to show up in the Yikun Palace where the Emperor often went and get promoted.
But after a year and a half, the person who came out of Yikun Palace was Ling Xiang, who had always followed Concubine Hua. If it weren't for today, they would have almost forgotten about Fu Zi.
"I pay my respects to Madam Hua, and to all the madams and ladies."
Fuzi entered the hall and knelt beside Lingxiang to greet everyone.
Fuzi has been well fed and cared for in the Yiku Palace for the past two years. His skin is smooth and shiny, and he even looks rounder.
"Fuzi, Lingxiang said she is good friends with you and wants to take you away to accompany her in Zhongcui Palace. Are you willing?"
Songzhi spoke directly on behalf of Concubine Hua. Lingxiang, that little bitch, had the audacity to bring up such trivial matters and embarrass herself in front of the Empress. Songzhi really felt that she had been too kind to her in the past.
Before Fu Zi came in, Concubine Qi and the others thought that Fu Zi was being oppressed by Concubine Hua every day, and they didn't know if he would really be willing to go out.
But when they really met Fu Zi in person, they all felt that only a fool would be willing to leave the Yikun Palace.
Even though she was a spy sent by the Queen, Concubine Hua has kept Fu Zi healthy and energetic. Even if Fu Zi does not win the Emperor's favor, after a few years, she can save some money and leave the palace to live her own life.
Although Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing were not as wealthy as Concubine Hua, they had the same plan for the palace maids who served them wholeheartedly.
They will be trapped in this round-sky-square cage for the rest of their lives, but there is no need for these palace maids to endure it with them for the rest of their lives.
"Slave, I am willing."
When these four words fell, everyone was shocked, including Concubine Hua.
"Think carefully. Once you leave my Yikun Palace, you will have nothing to do with me anymore. Life and death, happiness and disaster will all be borne by you alone."
"I understand, and I am willing." Fuzi's voice was still neither too loud nor too soft.
"You are such a heartless person, how did the queen treat you..." Songzhi was so angry that she wanted to beat Fuzi up.
"Songzhi." Concubine Hua stopped Songzhi and said, "Pack up Fuzi's things and let her leave."
"I thank Empress Hua for her help!" Ling Xiang did not expect Fu Zi to be so cooperative. She happily kowtowed to Empress Hua, a move only a palace maid would make. This time she really forgot.
Fu Zi also kowtowed to Hua Fei silently, turned around and followed her out.
When the palace was quiet, Shen Meizhuang looked at Concubine Hua's calm expression and said, "Well, it's useless to keep an unfaithful person."
An Lingrong could also sense that Concubine Hua was just furious because of Ling Xiang's betrayal, but she was really disappointed that Fu Zi chose to leave.
This was the first time that Nian Shilan felt the coldness of human nature after her rebirth.
She always told herself that she had to be cold-hearted and impartial. She always felt that servants had to be treated with an iron fist, and by rewarding them with large sums of money and exerting pressure on them, the servants would always be loyal.
But she herself did not realize that she had changed. She, Nian Shilan, would also make careful plans for the palace maids, even considering whether she could get pregnant and have children after leaving the palace.
Is it her job as Nian Shilan to worry about these trivial details?
Even if Concubine Qi was a bit stupid, she could still notice the change in Concubine Hua's mood. Concubine Qi's stance meant that she couldn't say anything. After all, Fuzi was originally the Queen's man, and now he was not successful in Yikun Palace, so he would leave naturally if he had the chance.
This is what Concubine Qi thought.
However, Xin Changzai had other thoughts as she watched Fu Zi walk out of the main hall of Yikun Palace.
"We have bothered you for a long time today. We will go back first and you should have a good rest." Concubine Jing felt that someone as proud as Concubine Hua would definitely not want others to see her vulnerable side, so she said she was leaving.
"Yes, we got a great deal from Your Majesty today. We even had a great time eating the crab roe pastry. Thank you very much for the hospitality." Zhen Huan tried to make some witty remarks to liven up the atmosphere.
"Hmph, even if you come for three days and three nights, I can still afford to entertain you." Hua Fei listened to the gentle words of consolation from Jing Fei and Zhen Huan, and thought that the purpose of this group of people coming today was to see if she was okay.
Therefore, I put aside my sad feelings.
There is no need to waste your energy on people who are not worthy. After all, there will be people who appreciate your kindness.
Today, Concubine Hua truly felt what "the fickleness of human nature" was. She never expected that after living again, they would be the ones who treated her well.
"Songzhi, make some crab cakes for all the sisters."
"We get to eat and take things at the same time. It turns out we are getting the better deal." Shen Meizhuang said jokingly.
