Chapter 128: Making Things Difficult
"We should be aware of other people's plans and put ourselves in their shoes. If I want to harm someone, I will definitely do this."
Then he walked to the couch and sat down, and continued, "First, Concubine Hua can suppress me from time to time in the name of teaching, so that I can't spare time and get favor again. Second, the palace has many complicated things to do, and maybe something will go wrong at any time."
"Or maybe Concubine Hua deliberately set a trap for me to fall into. With both of these tactics, I will definitely be stretched to the limit and make many mistakes."
At that time, she will take back my power in the palace on the grounds that I am not suitable for managing palace affairs. "This way, you can suppress my limelight and also cut off all the benefits of the New Year's Eve banquet."
"She didn't lose anything, but she was able to pick me out of the candidates for the power to assist in managing the harem. This way, she can kill two birds with one stone, and the benefits will naturally be great."
"After listening to An Lingrong's words, Qiufang was no longer worried about the situation in Yanxi Palace. She began to admire An Lingrong a little bit."
"I have been in the harem for many years and have seen many people being raped, but I have never seen a woman with a mind as calm as An Lingrong's!"
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and I admire you. If that is true, then will Your Majesty accept the imperial decree to assist in the management of the harem?"
"An Lingrong smiled and propped up her head with her hands, looking up at Qiufang. You said I guessed what they were thinking, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
Besides, I have long wanted to get my hands on the palace power, so how could I give up so easily just because of some difficulties raised by Concubine Hua? Qiu Fang nodded after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, I understand. Please rest assured, I will take good care of everything for you. There will definitely not be any problems inside the Yanx Palace." Yes!
"You are a careful person. Lian'er is still young after all. You should teach her more in the future. And Yangui is very methodical in doing things. You can also let her do many things."
"Yes," the master and servant discussed the corresponding strategy and let An Lingrong put this matter aside for the time being.

Inside Yikun Palace
"But Concubine Hua got angry again. The bitch, Concubine Shu, took advantage of the fact that she gave birth to the Sixth Prince and made the Queen Mother like her, and dared to act so presumptuous in front of me."
"Your Majesty's health is important. Why get angry over her? Anger is harmful to your health. Concubine Cao smiled flatteringly, but she couldn't calm Concubine Hua down."
"Even if your Cao family is a poor family, can An Lingrong's status surpass yours? She has been in the palace for only a little over a year, and she has been promoted to concubine and even gave birth to a prince."
"You have served me since I came to the palace. If I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't even be able to get the position of a noble. You are really useless."
"Hua Fei was so angry that she spoke without thinking. She didn't care what Cao Moqin said and made a series of ridicules, which made the other party look ugly."
But Concubine Cao relied on Concubine Hua to make a living. Not to mention a few unpleasant words, even if Concubine Hua slapped her a few times, she could only endure it.
With a smile on her face, Concubine Cao spoke again, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is favored by the Queen Mother. My Wen Yi is a girl, and she cannot compare to the Sixth Prince that the Queen Mother likes. There is nothing I can do about it."
"There are few children in the palace. The emperor used to love and care about Wen Yi. It's because you, his mother, are useless that the emperor forgot about Wen Yi's existence."
Cao Moqin's face showed a bitter smile, "Your Majesty is right. I have no family background and no beauty. It is normal for the emperor not to favor me!"
"When Concubine Hua saw Cao Moqin's appearance, she didn't feel pity for her. She just felt a little annoyed. If she is not favored, she should try to win favor. Who should she show her grievance to?"
"Then he said, "I called you here to help me figure out how to deal with that bitch, Concubine Shu, not to complain to you."
"Cao Moqin seemed to have just reacted and lowered her head slightly. It was my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Hua Fei said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense and think about what to do about this matter."
"Hua Fei's dominance makes Cao Moqin helpless, but what can she do? She is just a fish on the chopping board, she can only be slaughtered by others."
Cao Moqin thought silently for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is favored by the Empress Dowager, so he cannot be touched. Concubine Shu has caught the Emperor's eye, so she cannot be touched either."
I want to say, "Now is not a good time to confront Shupin, but Shupin is disrespectful to the Empress, so she can't be let off easily."
Seeing that Concubine Hua's face was becoming increasingly ugly, Cao Moqin quickly changed her words and said, "If you can't deal with Concubine Shu," she paused before continuing.
"Your Majesty, right now, Concubine Shu has no power in the palace. As a powerless person, there is no way to find fault with her. If you just want to vent your anger, I do have a way."
"This method will not hurt Concubine Shu's foundation, nor will it have any negative impact on her in the Emperor's heart. I wonder if I should say it or not?"
"Hua Fei frowned as she listened to this. She was already feeling annoyed after hearing Cao Moqin's long speech. What kind of a person is a person who can't be affected?"
"That's why I said that I was letting the Majesty vent her anger," Cao Moqin said in a faint voice. After hearing this, Concubine Hua's eyes lit up.
"She also knows that with the Sixth Prince around, An Lingrong will not suffer any loss. But letting out some steam can also make her feel better."
He sat up straight and asked, "Can you please tell me what's going on?"

No one knows the conspiracy of Yikun Palace.
Inside the Broken Jade Pavilion
In the main hall, Huanbi sat opposite Zhen Huan, her face full of anger, "Eldest sister, you don't know the expression on Concubine Chun's face when she came to pay her respects today."
Since Zhen Huan was pretending to be sick, she naturally didn't need to pay her respects, but Huanbi had to pay her respects.
After hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Chun Changzai, what happened to her?" She had just moved out of Suiyuxuan yesterday, and today she said in front of everyone in Jingren Palace that Yanx Palace was big and spacious, and Suiyuxuan could not compare to it.
But she looks innocent and harmless, yet says things that make people uncomfortable. I underestimated her in the past.
Zhen Huan frowned when she heard this. Where did you hear these words? "Where else can I hear them from?" She said them in Jingren Palace when I went to pay my respects.
"Changzai Chun lives in Suiyuxuan. This was arranged by Concubine Hua before she entered the palace," she said, which just gave Concubine Hua a handle.
"In front of all the concubines, Concubine Hua scolded Concubine Chun angrily, and Concubine Shu was almost punished because of this incident."
Zhen Huan's eyes moved forward slightly, "Almost?" Yes, Concubine Hua punished Concubine Chun to be confined to her home for half a month. The punishment was originally going to be finalized, and Concubine Hua wanted to include Concubine Shu as well.
But today, Concubine Shu acted out of character and argued with Concubine Hua for a few words, and said to the Empress; "She is not convinced, so now, Concubine Shu will not be implicated, and even Concubine Chun will be exempted from punishment."
Zhen Huan nodded. It was normal that Concubine Shu was smart and it was difficult for Concubine Hua to gain any benefit from her.
"My elder sister is right. I used to think that Concubine Shu was just from a humble family, but I didn't expect that she had such abilities." Zhen Huan frowned at Huanbi's outspokenness.
"When you served me in the past, you criticized your master. How come you still can't change this bad habit now that you're my mistress?" If someone hears this and spreads it, you'll suffer the consequences!
"Zhen Huan's tone was a little more impatient, and Huan Bi's face turned ugly after hearing what she said. But she didn't dare to really argue with Zhen Huan now."
I could only shake the handkerchief in my hand and mutter a few words, I am just talking in our own palace, "No matter where you are, you must be careful in what you say and do. Can you be sure that there are no other nails in this broken jade pavilion?"
Zhen Huan's tone was serious, and Huan Bi did not dare to say anything more, "Yes, I understand, elder sister. Thank you for reminding me."
Zhen Huan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, go back!"
"Huanbi didn't have the slightest intention of staying any longer. She stood up and bent her knees. "Then, elder sister, have a good rest. I'll go back first."
After Huanbi left, Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh, "It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. I should have reported it to the Emperor immediately and sent her away." Otherwise, how could things be like this now, making me live in fear every day.
Cui Jinxi was silent for a while, "My lady, now that things have been settled, why bother about it!"
How could Zhen Huan not know this? Huanbi's identity was so special that she had to be extremely cautious.
Putting Huanbi's previous thoughts behind her, Zhen Huan asked again, "Jinxi, do you think Chun Changzai is really like this?" Cui Jinxi pursed her lips, "My lady, maybe not!"
"Zhen Huan was stunned. What did you hear?" He agreed that it was Concubine Chun who spoke of the advantages of the Yanx Palace in the Jingren Palace. If I had heard it, I would have known that she had just arrived at the gate of the Yanx Palace yesterday.
It means that the Yanxi Palace is bigger than here, so it must be more comfortable to live in! After hearing this, Zhen Huan was silent.
"In fact, since the day she became favored, Zhen Huan knew that she was not as innocent as she pretended to be! But when the time came, she still didn't believe it."
Can human beings really be so scheming and calculating?
"A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. One of the six palaces in the east and west is of course better than Sui Yu Xuan. It's normal for her to say that."
"My lady, it doesn't matter what happened to Concubine Chun now. We don't need to think too much about it. The most important thing right now is your health." I have said the same thing many times.
"My lady should also know what is the most important thing. There is no need to waste time on other things. Cui Jinxi's words made Zhen Huan sigh again."
He lowered his head and touched his belly, his expression full of helplessness, but also seemed to be mixed with a bit of joy. You are right, the king's grace is like flowing water.
If I still look at the grace in front of me and cannot take it in, then I am the most stupid fool. "It would be best if you can figure it out, young master."
Cui Jinxi responded, saying that after talking with He Da for so long, He must be tired, so why not take a rest, my lady?
…………
The next morning, An Lingrong took Qiufang out to pay her respects at Jingren Palace.
"Just a few steps outside the door, a young eunuch hurriedly ran out from the small gate of Chengshu Palace with a basin in his hand. An Lingrong couldn't hide in time, and most of the basin of water splashed on her."
"The newly changed Su embroidery dress was half soaked. Qiu Fang stepped forward and asked, "Which palace are you from? Don't you have eyes for what you do? You have offended Concubine Shu. Can you bear the consequences?"
The young eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, "Madam Shupin, please forgive me, Madam Shupin, please forgive me, your servant...your servant..."
"An Lingrong looked at the young eunuch who was kowtowing in front of her and sneered. "Forget it, just be careful in the future and don't be rash again. Go down!"
"After that, after the eunuch left, An Lingrong whispered a few words to Qiu Fang before turning around and entering the Yanxi Palace."
An incense stick of time had passed since he entered. If he went out again, would he miss the time to pay respects to the Queen in Jingren Palace? An Lingrong's face showed some anxiety, and she hurried into the palace.
She glanced at her own seat and saw that other seats were full. She walked a few steps to the Queen and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I am late today for some reason. Please forgive me."
Yixiu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. Before she could say anything, Concubine Hua below spoke first: "It is said that Concubine Shu is always diligent and never late to pay respects to the Empress. Why is she late today?"
An Lingrong was about to respond, but Concubine Hua didn't give her a chance to speak. "The Yanxi Palace is right next to the Jingren Palace, so she can be late. It's a pity that her so-called diligence is just talk."
"As he said this, he looked at Empress Yixiu and wondered how to punish this late comer of greeting."
Yixiu still had a bodhisattva-like look on her face and smiled. Hua Fei was being too serious. Shupin was only one day late. Why make such a fuss?
