Empress Fenghua

Chapter 398 Queen Huayin
Hua Zhong followed Zhong Lichun into the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Fang. The Empress Dowager Fang seemed a little tired, and she became tired after talking for a while.It's probably something that happened on the queen's birthday last time, so be careful, she won't show up in time every time.These words were within Hua Zhong's expectation. Before leaving, Queen Mother Fang left Zhong Lichun alone to talk, so Hua Zhong had no choice but to back out with Aunt Yalan.

Aunt Yalan was in a good mood, so she insisted on picking some autumn chrysanthemum petals with Huazhong. "His Royal Highness will cough every autumn morning. He often makes tea with chrysanthemums, and the effect is quite good. There are many kinds of chrysanthemums in the palace. Mrs. Chong is rarely free, so the servants will wait for Mrs. to pick some and save them for use.”

"How many years has Aunt Yalan been with the queen mother? How well do you know the prince's habits?" Hua Zhong couldn't help but be a little surprised, if it is reasonable for Queen Mother Fang to take Zhong Lichun seriously.But after all, she is the empress dowager of a country and lives in the palace, while Zhong Lichun is a prince and lives outside the palace. Why can Aunt Yalan know about the morning habits?
Yalan smiled slightly, as if she didn't care, "The slaves were transferred to Qifeng Palace after the Queen Mother entered the palace, and it will take nearly 40 years! Back then, the Crown Prince was the Queen Mother's heart, and now the Prince is gone. Only the lonely and helpless King Xin is left, so the Queen Mother naturally takes it to heart." Ya Lan looked at Hua Zhong who was picking petals and said, "Madam, don't blame the servant girl for saying something beyond the bounds. In fact, the queen mother is very happy. No one is happier than the queen mother that King Xin can have a caring person by his side."

Hua Zhong smiled, "Aunt Yalan, I really don't understand why the Empress Dowager has a different kind of love for the Prince, but is indifferent to the Emperor. If the Empress Dowager is not like this, maybe the Emperor would not..." Hua Chongyu He stopped talking and smiled gently.

Yalan was slightly taken aback by the movements of her hands, "People always have preferences, just like loving someone. Others are better than him, but you just can't see it."

Hua Zhong's heart couldn't help shaking, a blinding leaf?There is some truth to what he said, but it was too random an answer.When I was thinking about it, I was waiting for someone unexpected.

"Aunt Yalan! This junior is being polite." An aunt who looked like a court lady came over to salute, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect Aunt Yalan to be so interested. It's just that you can't pick flowers indiscriminately in the palace. Doesn't Auntie know?"

Putting the scissors in Ya Lan's hand into the flower basket, she smiled with relief, "So it's Aunt Lei from Huayin Palace, no wonder her aura is different."

Huayin Palace?Queen's maid?Hua Zhong couldn't help frowning, she always had an indescribable feeling about Queen Wang.

Aunt Lei said with a nonchalant smile, "Aunt Yalan was joking, the younger generation also obeys orders, and there are rules in the palace, so it's fine if this lady doesn't know the rules. Aunt Yalan is an old man in the palace. , how could it be possible not to know? As the Director of Internal Affairs, this junior can't turn a blind eye to it, so he has to put on a show for the other palace people!"

"Then I don't know what Aunt Lei wants to do like this?" Aunt Yalan snorted coldly, "The emperor has decreed that the places around the Phoenix Palace should not be controlled by the Empress. Doesn't Aunt Lei know?"

"The emperor is benevolent and filial, he cares about the empress dowager, but he didn't say he wants to care about his wife!" Aunt Lei glanced at him dazedly, "This lady is just a fledgling, so she must learn some rules, so as not to break the rules when she enters the palace in the future!"

Yalan's expression suddenly turned cold, "You don't want to toast or eat fine wine, it's not Huayin Palace's turn to take care of the matter of Qifeng Palace."

Aunt Lei smiled triumphantly, "Aunt Yalan, the Huayin Palace is the head of the harem. The empress is in a dull mood and doesn't like to make noise, but it doesn't mean that the affairs of the inner palace will be ignored. Come and bring Mrs. Huazhong back to Huayin palace!"

"Who dares!" Aunt Yalan scolded, and the people behind Aunt Lei stopped in front of Hua Zhong.

Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, it seems that the crown prince and Zhong Lichun were fighting for the former court, and the two queens of the palace must not stop!Today, Aunt Lei is clearly here for her, the difference between her aunt and her own mother is not the slightest bit.The attitude of this king and queen is different from that at the banquet that day!

Aunt Lei snorted coldly, "The empress is in charge of the harem, not the empress dowager. You are from Huayin Palace. Do you want me to tell the empress to let you go to Qifeng Palace?"

After finishing speaking, the young eunuchs looked at each other and quickly brought Hua Zhong behind Aunt Lei.Hua Chong smiled at Aunt Yalan and shook her head, Aunt Yalan glared at Aunt Lei angrily, "I advise you not to be too arrogant, I have been in this palace for decades, you are still young!"

"Aunt Yalan, we don't have to be afraid to settle our debts, and the future will be long!" Aunt Lei sneered, and left with Huazhong...

Huayin Palace.

In contrast, the overall style of Dingguo Palace is simpler than that of Chengguo and simpler than that of Lingguo, and it exudes a dark tone of sanctity and grandeur.The entire Huayin Palace has a strong bronze color. The spacious hall is empty, surrounded by low tables, and the central steps are covered by veils and bead curtains, and the majestic and dignified figures can be vaguely seen.

The corner of Hua Zhong's mouth curled up, "It turns out that the Empress is waiting for Hua Zhong on purpose, I don't know what the Empress has ordered, and it takes such a lot of hard work!"

"Stop talking nonsense! How can you be rude when you see the Empress?" Aunt Lei scolded angrily.

Hua Zhong looked at her coldly, "What are you, you dare to order me? How can you speak here?"

"You..." Aunt Lei was furious. In the harem, no one dared to speak to her like that even though Qifeng Hall was so difficult to provoke!

"A little lady dares to be so arrogant. She seems to be as willful and arrogant as your mother, and doesn't take rules seriously!" Empress Wang said with a bit of sarcasm in her cold voice, "Go down, Lei! Son, lift up the bead curtain and talk to Mrs. Hua Zhong, don't have to hide it."

Hua Zhong seemed a little hesitant when he saw Lei'er, but he still followed the Queen's order. Queen Wang wore a dark red golden phoenix dress stretching down the steps, so majestic!
Queen Wang snorted, "Sure enough, she is very similar to your mother. There is a fearful temperament in her eyebrows and eyes, and it is also involuntarily disgusting!"

"Have you met my mother?" Hua Zhong couldn't help being a little surprised, even the Queen Wang had met her mother, could the mother's secret be revealed here?What happened that year?Hua Zhong's heart seemed to be beating a rattle, and he could not rest for a moment.

Queen Wang lowered her eyes, "It's not just that I have seen her, she is simply a nightmare in my life. Without her, I might not be sitting in this position, but I won't be so sad and lonely. Everything about Bengong now It's all thanks to her, but she left in a cool way, and you are left behind." Queen Wang looked lonely and sad, "I think Queen Mother Fang has already told you, when your mother and the crown prince and the emperor were together The entanglement between them!"

Hua Chong's eyes were slightly cold, "What do you really know?"

Queen Wang raised her lips, "It doesn't matter what I know, what matters is that if you want to know these old events, should you give me some promises? What I want is very simple, and your choice is also very simple, because you know The people responsible for those things are no longer alive. Queen Mother Fang is only one-sided, but the emperor will never tell you the truth!"

Hua Zhongguang clenched his fists slightly, but his face was calm, "Do you want Prince Hou to ascend to the throne? Do you want me to betray King Xin, or...kill him?" Other than these things, Hua Zhong couldn't think of the Queen. What else needs to be promised by myself, with Zhong Lichen's accommodating and doting on her, she seems to want the wind and the rain!

Queen Wang couldn't help sneering, her eyes were gloomy, "I never thought of hurting His Royal Highness Xin Wang, otherwise you wouldn't agree, would you? You, like your mother, are people who value affection, how could you agree. What matters is that you stay by King Xin's side all your life and take good care of him!"

Hua Zhong suddenly frowned in surprise, and looked at the steadfast Queen Wang in disbelief...
