Chapter 19: The Palace

The poem says: "Spring goes to summer."

Concubine Zhao Shu took advantage of the bright and refreshing weather in summer to invite the harem concubines to taste the new bayberry wine brewed this year.

In the entire harem, except for Concubine Zhang Guifei, who did not come under the pretext of busy palace affairs, almost all the concubines with heads and faces came.

For Zhang Guifei not coming, everyone didn't care. After all, the last time Zhang Guifei hosted a tour of the lake, Zhao Shufei also said that she was sick and did not go.

The twists and turns between the two have been seen a lot in the palace over the years.

In this regard, Zhao Shufei did not take it to heart, but was busy greeting everyone inside and out, striving to make everyone feel at home.

With the efforts of Concubine Zhao Shu, her Changxi Palace was full of laughter and joy.

Such an atmosphere instantly quieted down when Hua Ying and Hua Guifei came together.

all said: Mess up, you sing and I will appear.

Now, the most eye-catching drama in this harem is the drama of the three sisters of the Hua family, "sisters are on the wall and fighting in the same room".

First, the six girls of the Hua family were embarrassed by the palace people, but they were "inadvertently" seen by the emperor, which won the emperor's pity, and they were not only named talents, but also got a "soft" title.

Everyone was gloating over that Hua Liangdi, who was in the midst of the holy family, was stabbed in the back by her own sister.

Hua Ying, who has never given face to Concubine Hua, appeared here with her.

The sisterhood of the three sisters of the Hua family is like a flower in the fog, but everyone in the harem can't guess it.

Seeing the two people she hated the most, Concubine Liu couldn't help but start sneering:

"Sister Hua is really good-natured, and such a willful sister can tolerate it."

Regarding Concubine De's provocation, Concubine Hua Guifei reasoned with it, but defended her Hua Ying with the appearance of a gentle eldest sister:

"Concubine De laughed, the sisters of this palace are all people who know books and etiquette, how can you say that you are willful."

This can't stop the mouths of people in the harem, and someone immediately said:

"The concubine is really eccentric, why did she only bring this sister and another sister?"

It still sounds like a painless ridicule, but when the news of the three sisters of the Hua family turning against each other spreads all over the palace, the meaning of interviewing and provoking is self-evident.

"The sixth sister also wanted to join us, but it happened that she was sick today, so she didn't come." Hua Guifei still explained with a smile, looking like a deep sisterhood.

After speaking, he also apologized to Zhao Shufei:

"The six sisters of this palace know the most politeness, and let this palace make amends to Concubine Shu on their behalf."

Concubine Zhao didn't want her banquet to be stolen by three outsiders, so she hurriedly played a round:

"It's okay, but you're so late, you'll have to punish yourself with three glasses later."

Hua Guifei smiled heartily and got off the donkey down the slope: "No problem." ”

On the surface, the three sisters of the Hua family used Concubine Shu's banquet to break the rumors that the sisters were against their intentions, but in fact, it is unknown how many people believed it.

…………………………

After the news that the emperor would take some of his concubines to the palace for summer vacation reached the harem, most of the concubines took action.

Not only is the summer palace beautiful, but it's also far more interesting than staying in the palace.

Being able to be taken by the emperor not only shows the emperor's honor and favor for her, but also is likely to give birth to a prince in the day and night with the emperor.

In this regard, in order to allow the emperor to bring them along, the concubines began to cross the sea with eight immortals, each showing their magical powers.

Even if Hua Ying usually behaves softly and hardly, and is not close to people, there are still many low-level concubines who come to "take refuge" in her.

"The slave hasn't seen an unmarked beauty like Hua Liangdi in the palace before?"

"That's it! It is! Hua Liangdi can really be described as a country and a city! ”

Hearing the flattery of the two concubines in front of her, Hua Ying finally knew why they came to take refuge in this person with a bright future.

Hua Ying couldn't help but feel a little funny that there were such "talking" concubines in the harem full of human spirits.

A few people "met" her by chance when Hua Ying was walking in the garden.

Then he ignored her explicit hints and began to make such embarrassing hypes about her.

I felt funny in my heart, and I had a smile on my face.

As he walked, an unexpected person came on the other side.

This person is the sixth girl of the Hua family who was just named a talented person not long ago.

Hua Ying didn't have time to speak, and a few concubines who followed her on the side couldn't bear to be lonely and preemptive:

"Huacai people, when you see a lady with a higher level than you, you don't salute."

"Didn't you get a few days of His Majesty's favor and become frivolous?"

From opening to finding a reason to put small shoes on the six girls, the process is extremely smooth, and there is no shortage of things to do before.

It's these people who are too smart to be on the point, and after listening to a few rumors, they feel that Hua Ying and the six girls are at odds with each other.

She didn't want to be used as a gunman by these people, and she didn't want to win over these people, so she spoke:

"My sixth sister and I are my own sisters, how to get along, you don't have to worry about it."

As soon as Hua Ying said this, the concubines next to her who patted the horse's ass but slapped the horse's leg turned green.

"You'd better go back early, and don't wander around here."

Hearing this sentence of sending off the guest directly, he had been pretending not to understand before, and the people who followed Hua Ying around him with a dead face had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

Seeing this, the sixth girl smiled: "Eighth sister or eighth sister, as straightforward as ever?" ”

"Congratulations to the sixth sister for getting her wish."

Hearing this, the faint smile on the sixth girl's face disappeared.

They all knew how the six girls won the emperor's favor.

Regarding the matter of stepping on the throne of the concubine, the sixth girl was still a little worried in her heart.

Although the concubine now looks like a good sister everywhere, she thinks that after the concubine regains her favor, or after she gives birth to the prince, the concubine will settle the account books between them.

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to the palace to escape the summer?" After reinforcing her thoughts, the six girls casually found the hottest topic in the palace.

When Hua Ying saw the appearance of the sixth girl, she knew that the sixth girl's heart was in turmoil again, after all, smart people are easy to think more.

I have to add another handful of firewood, Hua Ying feels that the six girls have not yet played her greatest value:

"Your Majesty has decided to go to the palace at the end of August this year, and the sixth sister still has to make plans as soon as possible."

Originally, it was just a casual chat, but the sixth girl didn't expect Hua Ying to be able to say such news categorically, after all, this news was just going viral in the palace.

While being shocked by Hua Ying's love, the six girls also secretly bred ambitions.

"I heard that His Majesty is reluctant to bring too many concubines this time."

After hearing these words, the six girls lowered their heads and began to think.

…………………………

At the end of August, the emperor set off for the palace to escape the summer, and there were Hua sisters in the procession.
