The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 262: The Queen gathers and the Queen Mother strikes

This Concubine Chun is speaking for the Queen. Now that she is being ridiculed by Concubine Hua for being out of favor, can the Queen just sit back and watch?

"Chun Changzai is young, so there will be plenty of opportunities for the Emperor to see how sensible and well-behaved she is. There is no need for Concubine Hua to worry about her."

Of course the queen would not say nothing. This was a good opportunity for her to win the hearts of the people. How could she miss it?

Sure enough, when the Queen said this, Chun Changzai was immediately moved.

After all, she has been looked down upon by others these days. Now that the Queen has taken the initiative to speak up for her, how can she not be moved?

"This play on the stage was ordered by Concubine Hua. It is so lively and exciting. How can we let such a good play go to waste?"

"Just listen to the opera, Concubine Hua."

The Queen smiled and looked at Concubine Hua coldly.

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes. The current situation was not favorable to her, so even though she was unhappy, she still kept her mouth shut.

Time soon arrived at the Laba Day.

On this day, all the concubines in the palace would go to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother and pay their respects to her.

First, the Queen paid her respects, followed by the concubines. Afterwards, they paid their respects to the Empress Dowager in order of their rank.

When the nobles came to pay their respects, the Queen Mother specifically mentioned Zhen Huan, and the Queen took the initiative to praise Zhen Huan.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother looked at Zhen Huan's face carefully, and then followed the Queen's words to praise Zhen Huan for being sensible, and rewarded Zhen Huan with two pieces of fine brocade.

Zhen Huan didn't expect that the Queen Mother actually valued her so much, and she felt a little happy.

The Queen Mother then asked Zhen Huan whether she could write. After getting a positive answer from the Queen, she asked her to come to Shoukang Palace to accompany her in copying scriptures when she was free.

After all, she had also heard about Zhen Huan's involvement in state affairs.

Although it was indeed the Emperor who brought it up, in order to prevent Zhen Huan from having any other thoughts, she still planned to use the matter of copying scriptures to temper her temper.

Seeing how much the Queen Mother loved Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua felt jealous and hateful. She stared at Zhen Huan coldly, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.

Zhen Huan was a little puzzled as to why the Queen Mother asked her to copy scriptures, but when she thought about how her sister Mei often went to Shoukang Palace to accompany the Queen Mother and often told her that the Queen Mother was a very kind person, she did not feel that scared.

Although he was thinking in his mind, he agreed with a look of great surprise on his face.

After receiving Zhen Huan's affirmative answer, the Queen Mother turned her attention to Fu Cha Zhixi.

After all, there were only a few people who could hold the position of concubine, so the empress dowager naturally noticed the new faces among the concubines at a glance.

"This must be Concubine Xuan."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and asked with a smile.

"The Queen Mother has good eyesight. This is Concubine Xuan's sister."

The Queen smiled and introduced the Queen Mother.

Upon hearing this, Fu Cha Zhixi quickly stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Get up."

"You are a lucky person. You have been in the palace for only one year and you have given birth to a prince for the emperor. Why didn't you bring my grandson here today?"

The Queen Mother smiled and asked Fucha Zhixi to stand up. She had no ill will towards Fucha Zhixi.

However, due to the Queen's fear of Fucha Zhixi, a high-ranking concubine who had a son and was favored by the Queen, she decided to give her a warning on her behalf.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is almost the end of the year and it is freezing outside. I really dare not take Fu Zhen out of the palace. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

Fu Cha Zhixi was neither too flattering nor too cold to the empress dowager, and answered her questions in a very normal manner.

After all, the emperor is her current breadwinner, and as for the empress dowager, she doesn't have to put too much effort into pleasing her.

It was tiring enough to please the Emperor, she didn't need or was too lazy to please the Queen Mother.

"I was confused. This child is still young and cannot stand the cold."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. Concubine Xuan's words were quite harsh. Although there was nothing rude about them, they just sounded unpopular.

The emperor has always liked gentle and talented women. When did he fall in love with such a cold and aloof person?

"Empress Dowager, the Sixth Prince is still young. When the weather warms up in the spring, Concubine Xuan will naturally bring the Sixth Prince to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, the queen quickly spoke.

The Queen Mother turned around and chatted with Concubine Hua for a few words. Concubine Hua was very obedient and followed the Queen Mother's words and spoke a few words to her.

Fu Cha Zhixi didn't care much about the fact that the Queen Mother no longer paid attention to her. She had no feelings for her in the first place.

She was born in the Fucha family, and now she has little Fuzhen, which is a trouble for the empress dowager.

Especially before she died, she left the queen an imperial decree that she must not be deposed. This was like a huge rock blocking her way. She had to find a way to find an opportunity to deal with it.

After paying respects, Lingrong also followed Fucha Zhixi to Chengqian Palace.

Fu Cha Zhixi placed the teacup in front of Ling Rong, and seeing that she seemed a little distracted, he asked worriedly.

"What's going on? You've been looking at people strangely since you got up this morning. What happened?"

"Sister, me."

An Lingrong subconsciously touched her belly. She felt like she was pregnant, but she didn't dare to call the imperial physician to check her out.

After all, the situation in the palace is so serious now, and she doesn't have a trusted imperial physician. Naturally, she is worried that if she just asks a random imperial physician to come, there will be a risk of betrayal.

After all, Huipin's previous fake pregnancy was because she believed in an unreliable imperial physician, which led to her almost being harmed by Concubine Hua.

But now, counting the days, her period hasn't come for almost two months, so she decided to come and ask her sister for help.

"what happened?"

Fu Cha Zhixi looked in the direction of An Lingrong's hand and subconsciously widened his eyes.

"Could it be that you are pregnant?"

"I don't know, sister, but I haven't changed my clothes for two months. I guess I'm pregnant, but I don't dare to ask the doctor, so I'm not sure if I'm really pregnant."

An Lingrong blushed and said a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, that's the right way to be cautious."

"But you, girl, you haven't changed your clothes for two months. Why didn't you come to see me earlier? Don't you trust me?"

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong angrily and said.

"No, sister."

"I don't disbelieve my sister. Lingrong definitely doesn't mean that."

An Lingrong suddenly became nervous, reached out and grabbed Fu Cha Zhixi's arm, and said anxiously.

"My lady, it's not that I don't trust you, it's because my period is not regular, so it has been delayed until today."

Seeing this, Chuntao hurriedly explained for her young mistress.

"Okay, okay, I just said that. Can I really be angry with you?"

Fu Cha Zhixi was worried that An Lingrong's emotional excitement might hurt the fetus in her belly, so she quickly spoke to comfort her.
