CHAPTER XXII
Chapter 22 Wooing
"Now the concubine regards you as an enemy, and your foundation is shallow."
"Liangchen chooses a tree to live in, you might as well consider taking refuge in this palace?"
Hua Ying looked at Concubine Zhao Shufei, who was on the opposite side with the winning ticket in hand, and looked at the sure look that she would definitely cast under her camp.
smiled in her heart, once Hua Guifei thought she could tame her; Now Zhao Shufei thinks so too.
These towering people are used to toying everyone with applause.
And she is human, not a cold, ignorant pawn in their hands.
She didn't want to go to anyone.
Seeing Hua Ying's indifferent appearance, Zhao Sophie continued to tempt
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."
"In this harem, a hundred flowers can bloom, but not one branch."
"You have been in the palace for such a short time, but you have received such a favor, which has long been a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people.
This Hua Ying naturally knows. There are many people who are gritting their teeth at her holy favor behind her back, and there are many small actions in private.
But she didn't care, the palace was full of the emperor's women, and the emperor's favor was the basis of their existence.
She doesn't back down because of a few words.
How can you not compete for favor when you enter the palace? How to compete for favor but not to be favored? Seeing that Concubine Zhao Shu, who prides herself on being clever, she didn't understand that mastering the emperor's favor is fundamental, and dealing with the emperor's favored people is secondary.
It seems that this is also a lord who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. Zhao Shufei thought in her heart.
In order to win her over, Concubine Zhao continued to tempt to:
"You and I join forces, you have favor, I have a family background, we will definitely be able to dominate the harem."
This is to draw a big pie, there is nothing substantial, Hua Ying couldn't help but sarcastically:
"Concubine Niangniang has stood in the harem for many years without falling, and I am definitely not the first person you have wooed."
"Everyone else is unknown, but only Concubine Shu is in the position of concubine and is favored."
In the face of Hua Ying's sarcasm that she was the only one who profited in the end from forming an alliance with others, Concubine Shu didn't even move her eyebrows, the harem is like this, blood relatives still kill each other, not to mention the fragile alliance of interests.
"You're not like them, you're smart and sober."
Although Hua Ying has seen through the essence of the so-called alliance, although Hua Ying is wary of her wooing.
But Concubine Shu didn't mind, but felt that she was very smart and calm, and if she could use it, it would definitely be a sharp sword in his hand.
"Trust me, you'll profit from our relationship."
"I will help you, and you will be favored and enjoyed."
"What do you want from me?" Hua Ying asked rhetorically.
"A person who offends the concubine, offends the Hua family, and makes enemies on all sides in the court, what is there worth trying for?"
Seeing that Hua Ying was indifferent, Concubine Shu also told the truth:
"You are the greatest asset in your own right."
"To be honest, I've never seen Your Majesty pamper other women as much as you do."
"You are special in his heart."
Hearing this, Hua Ying was secretly vigilant in her heart, Concubine Shu found out that the emperor was particularly fond of her, so other concubines would also find out.
When the time comes, they may not be able to tolerate their own outliers.
However, after hearing so much, she still didn't want to take refuge in Shufei, and her intuition told her that this was not a simple person! Her purpose is certainly not as simple as she says!
Therefore, he politely refused: "Niangniang is very loving, but Hua Ying is free and loose by nature, and she doesn't want to take refuge in anyone." ”
Seeing that she couldn't be moved, Concubine Shu couldn't force it, so she had to leave.
Not long after Concubine Shu left. Hua Ying was offended by no one in her eyes, and she relied on her favor not to look at the high-ranking concubines in her eyes.
…………………………
Not long after Concubine Shu left, the personal palace maid beside Concubine Hua hurriedly ran over and told her that Concubine Hua Guifei wanted to see her.
Hua Ying also knows a thing or two about why Concubine Hua is so anxious.
After all, the news that the emperor was leaving Hua Guifei has been circulating in the harem for a long time.
Hua Guifei should be in a hurry!
When she arrived at the main hall of Mingguang Palace, after Hua Ying saluted, she didn't get up yet, and she threw the concubine into a cup angrily.
"You ungrateful fellows, you don't want to think about how you can enter the palace!"
"Seeing that the main palace is losing ground, do you want to climb another high branch?"
It seems that Concubine Hua was so angry because she heard the news that Concubine Shu was going to win her over.
In the face of anger, the manic concubine Hua Ying was not afraid, but felt that the concubine was just bluffing and holding on.
But a lot of times it doesn't make sense to be loud.
Hua Ying replied calmly, letting Hua Guifei calm down: "Just now, Concubine Zhao Shu wanted to win me over, but I refused. ”
"You think I'll believe it?"
"Neither you nor the six girls are good things? A little profit can make you betray this palace. ”
At this point, Hua Ying knew that Hua Guifei's thoughts had reached a dead end, and she thought that she and the sixth girl should be at her mercy and obey her requirements unconditionally, otherwise she would be "ungrateful".
"Niangniang said that we are ungrateful, but what kindness does Niangniang have to us?"
"I know that if Niangniang doesn't let us enter the palace, the Hua family will also send others into the palace."
"Besides, my mother has a bad attitude towards us, treating us as slaves, and has neither the kindness of the superiors, nor the flesh and blood affection between sisters."
Hearing that Hua Ying had exposed all the truth, she was immediately furious, and she couldn't find the words to refute it.
can only vent her anger on the utensils, and what is in front of her suffers.
The fruit bowl and teacups on the table, the porcelain playthings on the Bogu shelf, the flower pots on the high table, and what the concubine threw when she saw it.
It wasn't until he had no more strength that he sat down on the main seat and said in a hoarse voice:
"Since you think that this palace has no kindness to you, then from now on, this palace will break off with you."
"In the future, when you walk in the harem, don't borrow the name of the palace again."
Although the concubine is now out of favor, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the name of the concubine's sister is sometimes very useful in the palace. Therefore, when Hua Guifei said such things, she was forcing Hua Ying to express her position.
Forced her to promise her, to be loyal to her.
But she overestimated this title and underestimated Hua Ying.
Hua Ying and Guifei are not on the same road, not all the way. She had long considered breaking off with the concubine, but she never found a suitable opportunity.
Now that the concubine said so, Hua Ying replied: "Thank you for your grace." ”
Seeing that Hua Guifei was about to faint with anger.
Hua Ying thought that she had entered the palace with the help of the concubine anyway, so she kindly reminded:
"Your Majesty prefers women with simple hearts."
Regardless of whether the concubine listened to the words or not, Hua Ying said a word to take care and left.
……
Since then, Hua Ying has really become alone in the harem, not only that, but she also has many enemies.
