The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 365 Hongshi is punished
Fu Chang said to Xing'er, the palace maid who served her personally.

"My lady has not been feeling well these days and has been worrying too much. I have seen

The Emperor really loves you. Early this morning,

The emperor also ordered someone to deliver this golden thread and eight-treasure pearl bun.

The Emperor knows that you love beauty and that you like beautiful jewelry.
The Emperor must be hoping that you will get better soon."

Following Xing'er's words, Fu Changzai's gaze turned to the tray placed beside the bed, and on the tray there was indeed a magnificent golden pearl bun.

Fu Chang stared at him for a long time, not quite sure whether to laugh or not.

"Yes, I like these. But do you think that, with my current status and position,
Is she worthy of such a beautiful thing? Besides, when has there ever been such a hair ornament in the palace?

Although I was born a palace maid like you, I am also a bannerman.

This pearl bun is a hair ornament worn by Han Chinese women, and it is not a common style in the palace.
Do you still think that the emperor really has me in his heart?"

Xing'er shut her mouth and said nothing more. She knew that Fu Chang was completely immersed in self-pity at the moment and would not listen to anything else.

After a while, Fu Changzai suddenly seemed to have figured something out and said.

"You are right. Whether the emperor really hopes that I will get better or not, I have to recover quickly.

I am still young and have plenty of opportunities. I can't just watch the grace flow to other people.

Even though I am only a concubine, the emperor still has some affection for me.

I can’t let this affection go to waste.”

Xing Er said.

"Empress Jingpin has run away today. I wonder if she will come tomorrow."

Fu Changzai handed the bird's nest bowl in his hand to Xing'er and said.

"It was my own fault today that I treated Concubine Jing badly.

If Concubine Jing comes tomorrow, we will welcome her in nicely."

Ximei was standing by, and the soup bowl she was holding had already gotten a little cold.

"My lady, would you mind if I could heat up the soup for you and have a sip?"

Fu Changzai gave the order without even looking at it.

"Pour it out. From now on, I won't eat any food sent from outside."

After Ximei left with the soup, Xing'er helped Fu Changzai lie down slowly and said.

"My young master is much more cautious now."

Fu Changzai closed his eyes and folded his hands on his chest.

"I have to be cautious even if I don't want to. Wasn't the soup that day an extra gift from the imperial kitchen?

Everyone thought it was Princess Kang Le who pushed me that afternoon, but I was the only one who knew the truth."

Xing'er paused and withdrew her hand.

"Since you know the truth, why don't you ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Fu Changzai still closed his eyes and said.

"She is higher in rank than me, and I am just a small concubine now. I have no support in the palace.

Because of the emperor's favor, I have made many enemies. Even if I say it now,
But what has already happened, I'm sure the other party has cleaned up their hands.

If the emperor finds out that her family background and status are higher than mine, this matter will most likely be resolved.

It was nothing more than a dispute of jealousy between two women in the harem.

If the emperor can't find out, he will blame me for accusing others of miscarriage, which is not worth the loss."

Xing Er said.

“I feel that the young master has changed a lot these days.

You didn’t care much about these things before.”

Fu Changzai had his eyes closed, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It is precisely because I didn't care about these things before. I thought it was nothing more than women competing for the emperor's favor.

Who would have thought that he could be so cruel as to kill my child? Not only did he kill my child, he almost killed me too. How could I continue to not care?

In the past, I was indecisive and occasionally a little arrogant, which led to the disaster today."

Xing'er was silent for a moment and continued.

"Then you must be more cautious in the future, so as not to give others the opportunity to harm you."

Fu Changzai remained silent. Xing'er knew that she didn't want to talk anymore, so she lowered the bed curtain and walked out.

In Jingren Palace, the little Third Prince stood in front of Ulanara.

The third prince is already four and a half years old, and is reciting "The Analects of Confucius" while shaking his head.

". Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what one has learned? Is it not a pleasure to have friends come from afar? Is it not a gentleman to not be angry when people do not know him?"

After the Third Prince finished reciting an article, Ulanara said.

"Do you know what the passage you just recited means?"

The Third Prince opened his ignorant and innocent eyes, thought for a moment, and said.

"Teacher, I have already said it, let me recall it."

Jianqiu couldn't help but remind him.

"Third Prince, when answering questions from the Empress, you should say 'Reply to the Empress'."

The third prince said hurriedly.

"Thank you, Aunt Jianqiu, for the reminder."

Then he said to Ulanara again.

"My dear Queen Mother, I can't remember it."

Ulanara's face, which was bright and sunny just now, was instantly covered with dark clouds.

"You can't even remember such a simple explanation. How did I teach you?"

The Third Prince was stunned, looking at the angry Ulanara in front of him.

The little boy didn't understand why his royal mother was always smiling and kind in front of other people.

And every time he was asked about his homework, he looked angry.

He couldn't help himself, and every time he saw the Empress Dowager's expression like this, he would kneel down.

"Don't be angry, Madam Empress, it is because I am useless.

I will review what you taught me when I go back!"

The little child was kneeling on the ground, but he had not forgotten the palace etiquette and his back was straight.

Jianqiu was used to such scenes, so she just pursed her lips. Although she felt sorry for it, she didn't dare to say a word.

Ulanara took the ruler from Jiang Fuhai and hit the Third Prince's tender palm three times.

The Third Prince was in great pain, but he didn't dare to cry, and he didn't even dare to change his expression.

Ever since he could speak, the Empress Dowager always taught him that "Men don't shed tears easily."

What's more, it's because of my poor academic performance.

The punished Third Prince was not allowed to stand up easily. He was punished by Ulanara to kneel outside the Jingren Palace.

Concubine Wan came with Cui Jinxi and Luo Yu. As soon as they came in, they saw a small figure kneeling on the bluestone slabs in the cold winter.

Cui Jinxi held Concubine Wan's hand and gently pressed her down, stopping Concubine Wan from walking towards the figure.

Concubine Wan turned her head to look at Cui Jinxi, and met Cui Jinxi's eyes as she shook her head slightly.

Concubine Wan hardened her heart and decided not to meddle in other people's affairs.

The eunuch who was singing the greeting had already announced the arrival of Concubine Wan.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with good fortune~"

Ulanara had just punished the Third Prince, and her mood had not yet come to her senses, but when she saw Concubine Wan, she smiled almost instantly.

She looked extremely kind, as if she was not the one who punished the little prince to kneel in the snow.

"Get up. Why are you here in such a cold weather?"
