The emperor's husband wants to hug

Chapter 170 Provoking Two Concubines
Hearing Hua Mujin's question, Ye Wanxin wished she could slap her face.

But now she can only laugh at herself bitterly.

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing. The queen mother has explained it. Naturally, this palace must obey the queen mother's will."

"Although it is the Empress Dowager's will, the concubine feels that the imperial concubine should take care of this harem, which is the safest. After all, the imperial concubine is the one the emperor is marrying."

The more Hua Mujin talked, the more she held Ye Wanxin.

Ye Wanxin was both happy and sad at the same time that the matchmaker was getting married.

"The Empress Dowager asked Concubine Yi to take care of the harem, so there is naturally the Empress Dowager's intention."

"It's true to say so, but the concubine thinks that the head of the harem is none other than the imperial concubine or empress. To be honest, the position of empress should actually be the empress imperial concubine."

Queen's seat...

In fact, Ye Wanxin was not interested in the position of queen at first.

Because she felt that as long as she could be by the emperor's side, even if it was just a small concubine, she would be satisfied.

But now, it's different.

"Sister Xi Concubine, you can't talk nonsense about this. If you are told out by human beings, you will be questioned."

Hearing this, Hua Mujin covered her mouth in horror.

She looked at the maid next to Ye Wanxin, with a worried look on her face.

Ye Wanxin seemed to see her worry, and said: "Sister Xi Concubine, don't worry, Qing'er is my confidant, she will definitely not say anything about it."

For a moment, Hua Mujin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Imperial concubine, what my concubine said to you today, you must not tell others, otherwise the concubine will definitely be blamed by the emperor."

Ye Wanxin nodded, which was her answer to Hua Mujin.

"It's getting late, and the concubine still has to go to Zhaohe Hall to pay her respects, so I'll take my leave first."

Hall of Showa?
Ye Wanxin didn't know what Hua Mujin was going to Zhaohe Hall for.

But she didn't intend to ask, "Qing'er, go see off Concubine Xi."

"Yes."

After sending Hua Mujin away, the smile on Ye Wanxin's face disappeared instantly.

Instead, it is low.

"Ma'am, what are you worried about?"

After delivering the flowers and hibiscus, Qing'er came back and saw Ye Wanxin's face was dark, and asked worriedly.

Ye Wanxin didn't answer Qing'er, and kept thinking about every word Hua Mujin said.

She knew that Hua Mujin had come to the Hall of Yonghe uninvited, and she had said so much, it must be for some purpose.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that Concubine Xi is trying to provoke the relationship between you and Concubine Yi, making you and Concubine Yi fight against each other, and she wants to benefit from it."

What Qing'er said was exactly what Ye Wanxin was thinking about.

"Bengong knows, but it seems that she is being pushed too hard. Last night the Emperor favored Concubine Xuan, which was a great threat to her. Otherwise, she would not jump over the wall in a hurry and come here to provoke Bengong and Concubine Yi. "

Ye Wanxin is not stupid, she guessed some of Hua Mujin's intentions.

But she didn't, exactly right.

"Since you know that she is trying to sow discord between you and Concubine Yi, then what are you still worried about?"

Turning her head, Ye Wanxin glanced at Qing'er.

Qing'er lowered her head timidly, not daring to look at her directly.

"What do you know? Even if she is provoking, what she said is not unreasonable. The emperor is afraid that he has feelings for Concubine Yi, otherwise he would not let Concubine Yi go in and out of the imperial study again and again."

With that said, Ye Wanxin stood up.

She walked to the door and looked at the garden full of flowers, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Could it be that the emperor thinks that Concubine Xi, as the princess of Nangong, will be threatened if she continues to pamper her like this, and that's why he pampers Concubine Xuan?"

Ye Wanxin talked to herself, expressing all the thoughts in her heart.

On the other side, Hua Mujin walked directly towards the Zhaohe Hall after leaving the Yonghe Hall.

Beside, Nan Ge has been following.

All he knew was that Hua Mujin seemed to be in a particularly good mood after she came out of the Yonghe Hall, but he didn't know why.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi, please see me..."

In the Hall of Zhaohe, Nangong Qianhua was embroidering a purse with embroidery, and raised her head in disbelief when she heard the report from the palace servants.

"Concubine Xi? What is she here for?"

The palace man shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"Let her in."

Although I don't know why Hua Mujin came to Zhaohe Temple, Nangong Qianhua still decided to meet her.

"The concubine pays her respects to the noble concubine Yi, and the noble concubine is well."

Walking into the Hall of Zhaohe, Hua Mujin still respectfully saluted Nangong Qianhua.

But Nangong Qianhua was not Ye Wanxin, she didn't ask her to get up directly, but said sarcastically, "Hey, what kind of wind brought you here, Concubine Xi? It's really strange."

Nangong Qianhua put down her purse and looked at Hua Mujin coldly.

Although Nangong Qianhua didn't let her get up, Hua Mujin still stood up straight by herself.

"Concubine Yi is really joking. Isn't it a rule in the palace that a concubine comes to greet you? After all, the status of a concubine is below you, Concubine Yi."

For Hua Mujin, Nangong Qianhua actually has no hostility in her heart.

But on the surface, she had to pretend that she had great hostility towards her.

"You're joking? According to this Palace, Concubine Xi is joking, right? The Emperor has an order, your Concubine Xi will not greet anyone, and you don't even have to go to the Queen Mother, let alone this Palace?"

The reason why she didn't want to greet her was because Hua Mujin found it troublesome, and she didn't want to fight with these women in the harem.

That's why Bai Zhanke spared her from asking for peace.

However, today she went to the Hall of Eternal Harmony first, and then came to the Hall of Zhaohe, so of course she had a purpose.

"No need to ask for peace, but the emperor sees that the concubine is weak and not suitable for walking around, but after all, the concubine is still one of the concubines in the harem, so it is still appropriate to come to say hello once in a while, what do you think, Concubine Yigui?"

Hearing this, Nangong Qianhua glanced at Hua Mujin, a little displeased with what she said.

Turning her head, she ordered to the palace servants beside her, "You all go down."

"Yes."

Nangong Qianhua suddenly rejected the palace man, which surprised Hua Mujin.

After the palace lady withdrew, Nangong Qianhua looked at Hua Mujin and asked in a provocative tone: "Do you want to talk to me standing or sitting down?"

Hua Mujin smiled, found a seat closest to Nangong Qianhua and sat down.

"Shouldn't Concubine Yi be shown a cup of tea?"

"You will leave immediately after you say so, so why bother watching tea?"

This kind of Nangong Qianhua made Hua Mujin suddenly feel that she couldn't see through it.

She felt that this woman, Nangong Qianhua, seemed to have seen her intention for coming to Zhaohe Hall.

"Tell me, there are only you and Ben Gong here, don't beat around the bush, Ben Gong doesn't like that."

really……

Hua Mujin smiled helplessly, and asked, "Did Concubine Yi guess the reason why I came here?"

Nangong Qianhua chuckled, and she picked up the tea beside her and took a sip.

Then, he said: "Last night, the emperor favored Concubine Xuan. Although you blocked the news, it may not be spread out. If I guessed correctly, you just came from Concubine Jing, right? "

What Nangong Qianhua said was right, and Hua Mujin knew it herself. Even though she ordered the servants of Jinxi Palace not to spread the news, there were other concubines in Jinxi Palace.

This news cannot be blocked.

"Then Concubine Yi may wish to guess, what is the real purpose of my coming here?"

Nangong Qianhua smiled disdainfully, and said: "It's nothing more than wanting Bengong to turn against Concubine Jing, what else can I do? Is your wishful thinking wrong?"

Hua Mujin had to admit at this time that this Nangong Qianhua was not arrogant and domineering on the surface. I am afraid that her arbitrary and reckless actions were all pretending, right?
However, Nangong Qianhua's guess was only half correct.

"It seems that I underestimated you, Concubine Yi, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hide my thoughts from you."

Turning her head, Nangong Qianhua stared at Hua Mujin.

She looked Hua Mujin up and down, as if she wanted to see something from her.

"Hua Hibiscus, for Brother Zhan's sake, I can help you, so don't be sloppy and tell me exactly what you want Ben Gong to do. If you think Ben Gong is untrustworthy, then you can directly Leave, don't try to achieve your goal."

Nangong Qianhua didn't know Hua Mujin.

But she felt that since she could lower her status and come to Showa Palace, the purpose in her heart should be very important to her.

"Concubine Yi thinks, what do I want you to do?"

Nangong Qianhua suddenly said these words, which surprised Hua Mujin.

She was stunned, almost unable to react.

"Ben Gong just said very clearly, if you believe in Ben Gong, then say it bluntly, if you don't believe it, you can leave now!"

Obviously, Nangong Qianhua did not guess Hua Mujin's real purpose.

But if Hua Mujin wanted to trust Nangong Qianhua, she would never be able to trust Nangong Qianhua.

"Your Majesty wants to conquest in person, Concubine Yi, do you know? I think the emperor will send me to a safe place in order to prevent me from being in this dangerous place in the harem. During this time, I will not stay in the palace."

"and then?"

Regarding this news, Nangong Qianhua was not surprised at all.

As if she knew it in advance, there was no surprise at all.

"Last night, the emperor favored Concubine Xuan. Although the news was blocked, but there are many people in the harem, I am afraid it will still reach the ears of other concubines."

Suddenly, Nangong Qianhua raised her lips, smiling very confidently.

Then, she asked: "You want me to protect Concubine Xuan when you are not in the harem, don't you?"

Hua Mujin raised her eyes, she looked seriously at Nangong Qianhua's eyes, but she saw nothing in Nangong Qianhua's eyes.

"Concubine Yi is indeed smart."

For a long time, the two looked at each other, neither of them moved their eyes away first.

It wasn't until a bird chirped outside that the two of them looked away.

"Hua Hibiscus, you are not afraid. Will I harm her? After all, she has been favored by the emperor. Now besides you as a thorn in the side, her concubine Xuan has also become a serious problem in the hearts of other concubines."

The purpose of Hua Mujin to provoke Nangong Qianhua and Ye Wanxin at the beginning was to make them pinch each other and give Mu Qiu a chance to breathe.

But she didn't expect that Nangong Qianhua guessed most of her thoughts.
