Chapter 244 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 27
Su Peisheng's face was full of smiles, and he obviously enjoyed telling about Princess Chu Huan's daily life.
"Your Majesty, you are thinking about Princess Chuhua. She had a lot of fun in the Niuhulu Mansion today. Princess Chuhua read books in the mansion for half a day, and even taught Yunshu to practice writing in the evening."
He paused, and seeing the anticipation in Yinzhen's expression, his smile grew even wider.
"Guess what? Yunshu was clumsy and knocked over the inkstone, which ended up getting ink all over Chuhua's face. But the princess didn't get angry. Instead, she laughed with Yunshu. That scene was so heartwarming."
When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile, a rare moment.
Su Peisheng described Chuhua's every move in the mansion in vivid detail. Yinzhen listened attentively, as if he could see Chuhua's fair little face stained with ink, but still smiling happily. This girl is so silly and cute.
"Your Majesty, look at you. When you mention the princess, you can't hide the smile on your face." Su Peisheng observed his expression and joked.
"Do I...do I have it?" Yinzhen touched his face unconsciously, trying to hide his emotions.
"That's right. I have served the emperor for so many years, and I have never seen the emperor be so attentive to any woman." Su Peisheng said with a smile.
"Yes, after all these years, I have finally met a soulmate." It means "know" as in "confidant", not "know" as in "understand".
Su Peisheng didn't dare to continue this topic.
On the other hand, Concubine Hua was upset that the people she sent failed to kill Shen Meizhuang.
"I am incompetent and failed to let Concubine Shen..."
"Humph, Shen Meizhuang is so lucky that she can't be killed no matter what?" Concubine Hua smashed a blue and white porcelain vase beside her.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Shen Meizhuang thinks she is noble. Because she withheld the mung bean soup from her servants, which is not worth much, it left a bad impression. If this goes on, the emperor will sooner or later get tired of her pitiful appearance!" Lipin said indignantly while stroking Concubine Hua's back.
Hua Fei was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently: "I want to see how long the emperor can favor her! In this harem, the only one who can laugh to the end is me!"
It was the second day that Zhen Huan learned that Shen Meizhuang had fallen into the water. Because she claimed to be sick and could not go out, she asked Huanbi to visit her on her behalf.
When Huanbi arrived at Cunju Hall, An Lingrong happened to come to visit Shen Meiyu.
"I pay my respects to Lady Shen... I pay my respects to Lady An..."
Huanbi first bowed respectfully to Shen Meizhuang, but when she saw An agree, she became obviously impatient and her greeting was particularly perfunctory.
An Lingrong lowered her head to hide the grievance in her eyes and bit her lips lightly.
She was sensitive to begin with, and being looked down upon by Huanbi made her even more upset, but she had to suppress her emotions.
An Lingrong bowed and said softly, "Since Sister Wan has something to say to me, Lingrong will take her leave first. Sister Shen, take good care of yourself. I will come to visit you in a few days."
After saying that, An Lingrong took Baojuan and left Cunju Hall.
Huanbi looked at An Lingrong's departing back, rolled her eyes, and said to Shen Meizhuang with disdain, "My dear, this An Lingrong is really something. She pretends to be weak all day long. Who is she showing it to? If you don't know, you would think someone bullied her!"
Shen Meizhuang smiled slightly, but did not respond. She just said calmly: "Okay, Huanbi, don't be rude."
Huanbi curled her lips and said nothing more.
Because of what happened that night, Yinzhen was extremely upset and he really couldn't wait for Nian Gengyao to return from the northwest.
On the other side, Yunqi also acted quickly. Within a month, all his former generals defected when they learned that he had been released by the emperor.
Now, I'm afraid that only Nian Gengyao and a small group of people don't know, and still think that his Nian family is still a general with a large army.
The war situation in the northwest is tense now, and I don't want to take action now to avoid shaking the morale of the army.
But the Nian family loved Hua Fei too much. Not to mention that Hua Fei actually dared to murder the concubines, he recently found out that Hua Fei colluded with Nian Gengyao to buy and sell official positions.
Do you really think that Yinzhen is afraid of the Nian family and dares not punish them? !
It seems that the Nian family does not need to celebrate this New Year...
"Issue an imperial decree that Nian Gengyao's private sale of official positions is unforgivable. He is ordered to return to the capital immediately, and Yunqi will take full control of the war on the front line."
Yinzhen's tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty and his eyes were stern.
Su Peisheng bent down, carefully observing Yinzhen's expression, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is this decree..."
Yinzhen put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, making a "bang" sound. Su Peisheng trembled with fear and knelt down quickly, saying in a trembling voice: "This slave deserves death, this slave talked too much!"
"Get up, I'm not that senile." Yinzhen waved his hand impatiently.
"Nian Gengyao has become more and more presumptuous over the years. Does he really think I am made of clay and can be manipulated by him?!"
When Concubine Hua heard that the Emperor had punished her brother, she immediately ran to the Yangxin Palace to plead for mercy.
Hua Fei knelt at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace for a whole hour, but Yinzhen never came out. She watched the sky gradually darken and the cold wind blew, but her worry for her brother prevented her from getting up.
"Your Majesty, please see me! My brother is innocent, please see clearly!"
She begged again and again, her voice hoarse, but received no response. She could only watch the palace gates close, feeling despair in her heart.
In the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng listened to Concubine Hua's cries and felt frightened. He glanced at Yinzhen cautiously and saw that his face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed, as if a storm was about to come. He was so scared that he dared not even make a sound.
"Your Majesty...this..."
Yinzhen threw the memorial on the table, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of disgust.
Su Peisheng was so frightened that he quickly shut up and stepped aside.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It will damage your health..."
Su Peisheng advised carefully, but secretly cursed Concubine Hua for being tactless. The Emperor was angry at the moment, wouldn't it be walking into trouble if she came at this time?
Yinzhen snorted coldly, ignored Su Peisheng, and walked straight to the window. Looking at the bleak scenery outside, his heart was cold.
"Your Majesty..." Su Peisheng wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Yinzhen's sharp look.
"Let her go back." Yinzhen's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
"Well." Su Peisheng didn't dare to say anything more. He bowed and left the Yangxin Palace.
When Concubine Hua saw Su Peisheng coming out, she hurriedly went to greet him and asked anxiously, "Eunuch Su, what did the emperor say? My brother..."
Su Peisheng glanced at Concubine Hua in embarrassment and whispered, "Your Majesty, you should go back first. The Emperor..."
