Empress Fenghua

Chapter 590 Feast Dispute
Mausoleum Kingdom, Changding Palace.

Sitting on the top seat, Hua Zhong looked at the ministers and concubines in the harem who kowtowed and got up again, and couldn't tell what it was like.All this seems to have returned to the starting point, making Hua Zhong feel a little annoyed.

"Aren't you used to it?" Xi Liang who was beside him asked silently and considerately, "Is there any discomfort?"

Hua Chong wanted to leave with the excuse of being uncomfortable, but he didn't expect Wan Rong to speak first, "Does the empress feel that the dinner prepared by the concubine does not meet your wishes? But the concubine did not do well enough? If the empress does not like it?" Yes, you must say it, and this concubine will try her best to correct it!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help being taken aback, what route is Wanrong going now?Can softness overcome rigidity?Putting on an innocent and pitiful posture makes others feel that he is even more bullying!

"I asked you to prepare this dinner, even if there is a fault, it is not you, so don't worry!" Xi Liang held Hua Zhong's hand with words of comfort, "Hua Zhong, but do you want to rest? "

Hua Zhong shook his head with a smile, if he comes, he will be safe, others have already let go, how can he avoid it?
"It's just a little mental fatigue, I'm afraid I'm tired these days, it's okay!" Hua Zhong picked up the wine glass, "Wu Yan, I offer you a toast!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, my concubine is waiting to offer you a toast." The person who spoke was a young woman who was inferior to Wanrong, but Hua Zhong did not recognize her.

Zhao Yu smiled, "Chen Shuhua, it's the empress's toast now, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to participate?"

How noble is the status of an empress?The emperor and queen drink together, can concubines and concubines participate?It's just that this Chen Shuhua is probably not ignorant of the rules, but just arrogant and doesn't pay much attention to flowers!Looking at Chen Shuhua again, she was in her prime in [-]. She was pretty, cute and charming, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Hua Zhong raised the corners of her mouth, "It's okay! I would like to see how much this Chen Shuhua can drink. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

A trace of impatience flashed in Xiliang Wuyan's eyes, and the Wuyan just now disappeared, replaced by the emperor, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.Xiliang frowned silently, "I don't care much about her wanting to show off her drinking capacity, and there are plenty of opportunities. But the queen is the queen after all, the queen toasts, and the queen drinks together. Chen Shuhua shouldn't break the rules!"

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Chen Shuhua's eyes, and she watched Xiliang Wuyan return to her position coquettishly and sadly.Wanrong on the side raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at Hua Zhong with complicated eyes.Hua Zhong and Xi Liang drank it all without a word, but they never forgot to observe the people around them.

Scanning the crowd at this moment, Hua Zhong suddenly found that the concubines in the harem seemed to be missing a lot of people he used to know, most of whom he had never met before. It seems that Wanrong really spent a lot of effort to eradicate dissidents!

"Emperor and Empress Harmony, this is the blessing of our Mausoleum!"

Hua Zhong hadn't recovered from his thoughts, but when he heard a familiar voice, he turned his head and saw that it was Bai Jingyan, the minister of the Bai family, a rising member of the Bai family who had just been promoted to the cabinet in the past two years.

Bai Jingyan looked at Hua Zhong with complicated eyes, "I am very happy that the queen can return. Now the emperor is smiling a little more than usual, so I am relieved. The emperor has worked so hard for the empress. Even Yi The walls of the Ning Palace are all painted with pepper, and the extremely gorgeous palace was specially repaired by people, and the hot spring water was brought in and poured with orchid soup, which was specially used for the empress to bathe. It can be seen that the empress and the empress are deeply affectionate, and the music is harmonious. The great fortune of our mausoleum country, the good news of the people!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help frowning, seeing that Xi Liang's speechless expression was as usual, and there was even a hint of relief.Hua Zhong felt very uneasy, but now she saw Cheng Gong sitting in front of everyone, Cheng Gong's eyes were full of haze that Hua Zhong couldn't understand, Hua Zhong squeezed the hem of her skirt tightly, she knew that she had broken her original promise...

"Oh? The Empress's Yining Palace used to have a central palace tree that was admired by thousands of people, and now there are so many gorgeous features. It is only the love of the empress!"

Others also joined in, Hua Zhong couldn't help but glanced at the crowd, and saw that although they had smiles on their faces, they were actually discussing himself, the empress who spends money like water and confuses the monarch!
Xiliang Wuyan held Hua Zhong's hand under the table, "Don't be uneasy, I will surely convince others if I do it." Xiliang Wuyan's eyes carried a kind of domineering and irrefutable , Hua Zhong forced a smile, after all, his heart could not be at ease.

"The Empress's Yining Palace is now the most magnificent place in the harem. I wanted to take advantage of myself to cooperate with the Sixth Palace to visit the Yining Palace, but I didn't expect that the Emperor would not let me open the palace gate until the Queen came back. The concubine hasn't seen it until now!" Wanrong covered her face with a smile, "The concubine heard that the Yining Palace is resplendent and resplendent, pearls are like gold and iron!"

Zhao Yu stood up and said with a smile, "If pearls are like gold and iron, I'm afraid the Jingxian Palace like my wife would have been like this long ago! The empress has not been in the palace for many years, and the emperor respects you the most. What's the matter?" Don’t move things into your palace? Others don’t know, but this palace knows. The empress has always liked to be frugal, so how could the emperor not know? It can be seen that it is indeed inappropriate to say that the wife’s pearls are like gold like iron!”

Wanrong raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Really? In this way, the concubine really wants to go to the Yining Palace to see what it looks like, so that the remodeling of all the harem is halved and completed in March. If it is not so gorgeous, Aren't you sorry for the money that the concubine worked so hard to save for the empress? Empress, don't you think so?"

A cold light flashed in Hua Chong's eyes, "Mrs. Ru, you have always arranged the expenses of the harem. Even when I was here, I never intervened. I don't care, but it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. In the future, things like this will still happen." Don't do it. It's not that you didn't do well, but I hope you can consider the overall situation. Of course, I am very grateful for your deep friendship to me!"

Wan Rong gave a disdainful smile, lazily got up and saluted, "Thank you Empress Empress, I will definitely remember Empress Empress' teachings!"

"The royal family of our Mausoleum country has always advocated frugality. In addition, the battle ahead is not yet over, and many soldiers are still fighting hard on the front line. We should be more sympathetic to their hard work while sitting in the court." Hua Zhongyu said earnestly, "I heard that Yongning Palace is like this today, I feel very uneasy in my heart. Although I am grateful for the great love of the emperor and the thoughtfulness of all the concubines, I absolutely dare not accept it. After today, I will propose several plans to reduce the cost of Yongning Palace, and please return it at that time It would be good for the emperor to help his ministers and concubines decide the overall situation!"

Hua Zhong smiled sweetly, looked at Xi Liang's speechless and gentle expression, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Xiliang smiled reassuringly, "I originally wanted you to live more comfortably, but I didn't expect it to cause you so much worry and uneasiness. If this is the case, then don't mind! Why should I make a decision? Queen, you are outstanding, Everyone knows that I believe in you!"

"My concubine thanks the emperor!" Hua Zhong was slightly relieved, but the moment he stood up, he saw Chenggong's cold face, and couldn't help but look away guiltily.

"It is said that the empress is virtuous, and the concubine was really impressed when I saw her today!" Zhao Yu raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at Wanrong, "Ru Furen, as fourth concubines, we should learn more from the empress."

Chen Shuhua covered her face with a smile, seeming to be disdainful, "Mrs. Chun's words are wrong. Although she is the fourth concubine, she doesn't necessarily have to learn to advocate frugality, right? Virtuous and virtuous, pure and obedient like jade, each has its own merits, otherwise There will be no title of 'Hua'!"

"In this way, Chen Shuhua means that it is a good thing to spend money like water if there is no luxury?" Zhao Yu smiled impatiently, "I heard that even the beaded curtains in Chen Shuhua's palace are made of high-quality broken jade, and the wind moves like a bell. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. what!"

"The concubine didn't say it was a good thing. The things in the concubine's palace are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can it be so good?" Chen Shuhua sneered, "The concubine is just reminding Mrs. Chun that in ancient times, Handan learned to walk, and Dongshi imitated it. It’s better to paint a tiger if it’s not an anti-dog!”

After all, a group of concubines laughed, and Zhao Yu looked at them with awe-inspiring eyes, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.

"Enough!" Hua Zhong interrupted everyone, "Don't all of you just say provocative words like street shrews? Do you still have a harem concubine's demeanor at all? The face is so presumptuous!"

Wanrong's face still had a disdainful smile, Chen Shuhua restrained a little but not at all, Zhao Yu gave them a white look, and calmed down.

Xiliang frowned silently, and couldn't get angry for a while, and said calmly, "Queen, do you have anything to say?"

Hua Zhong was silent for a while, straightened his sleeves and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Ru has prepared a song and dance, why don't you listen to it!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere eased down again...
