She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 116: Legend of Zhen Huan 61

Seeing that the topic had come to this point, Concubine Chun thought it would be a good thing to be able to hit Shen Meiyu's side.

"Your Majesty, I saw that the weather was fine yesterday, so I went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Unexpectedly, I ran into Concubine Qi and Concubine Wan. Concubine Qi was angry at the time, so I did not go over.

I only vaguely heard that Wan Changzai's personal maid Huanbi was wearing a dress made of floating brocade and a hairpin inlaid with rubies. When Concubine Qi saw this, she asked Wan Changzai to punish her maid.

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. Although he had begun to supervise the harem, he was busy with government affairs on weekdays. Unless something big happened in the harem, he would not interfere.

Now, hearing that a palace maid was wearing tribute satin, Yinzhen subconsciously became dissatisfied with Zhen Huan and her servant, "Su Peisheng, did I only give the floating brocade to Anshi?"

Su Peisheng bowed and walked in front of Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, the two pieces of floating brocade you awarded are for An Da Ying."

Xin Changzai saw that the emperor didn't understand, "Did An promise to give a horse to Wan Changzai's maid?"

Concubine Chun chimed in, "How is that possible? Concubine An has always been on good terms with Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan. If she wanted to give it to Concubine Wan, she would have given it to Concubine Wan. Besides, palace maids are not allowed to wear such tribute satin."

"So, that's what Wan Chang was rewarding her with?"

"That Wan Changzai is really generous."

Yinzhen heard what they said and felt a little dissatisfied with Zhen Huan. "People who overstep their authority should be punished. Su Peisheng will take them to the Ministry of Punishment..."

Fu Cha Xinyun didn't want the emperor to take Huanbi to the Ministry of Punishment at this time. Huanbi was currently at the point where her feud with Zhen Huan was the most intense. If she heard that she was the one filing a complaint, wouldn't that make the people in Sui Yuxuan unite against the outside world?

So Huanbi should just stay in Suiyuxuan. At this moment, Fucha Xinyun would not have thought that this action of hers would give her a big surprise in the future.

Thinking in her mind, Fucha Xinyun moved quickly. She walked carefully to Yinzhen's side with a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, have some tea and calm down. Today we are here to chat about family matters. How much can a maid like Huanbi know? She just accepted the reward from her master. Now that she has been punished, Your Majesty should just let it go. This will also help our child accumulate some blessings."

When Yinzhen saw that the person who spoke was Fucha Xinyun and saw her big belly, even if he was angry, he couldn't express it here.

"Since you're asking for mercy, forget it."

Zhen Huan called Liu Zhu, "Liu Zhu, Huan Bi doesn't want to see me now. If there is anything, you have to go."

Liuzhu couldn't bear to see her mistress being so humble, "My mistress, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely stay by your side."

Zhen Huan looked at herself reflected in Liuzhu's eyes and smiled at herself, thinking that she was becoming more and more adept at understanding people's hearts.

"Go to the accounting department and call Jin, and ask Aunt Jinxi to come over, and tell her that I have something to talk to her about."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Liuzhu walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs with some unfamiliarity. In the past, it was Huanbi who went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect the monthly allowance. She was mainly serving the young lady. Now that Huanbi was in trouble, she had to stand up for herself.

Liuzhu encouraged herself in her heart and walked carefully into the accounting department. She was stopped at the door as soon as she reached it. A teenage eunuch stood in front of Liuzhu.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you know where this place is? How dare you barge in?"

Although Liuzhu was nervous, she still mustered up the courage to say, "I'm here to see Aunt Jingxi."

When the young eunuch heard Aunt Jinxi, he knew it was Cui Jinxi who had just joined the Accounting Department some time ago. Thinking that other people were still very polite to her, the young eunuch also changed his attitude.

"You are looking for Aunt Jinxi. She is inside. I will take you in now."

Seeing that the young eunuch was willing to take her in, Liuzhu agreed, "Okay, thank you."

Jin Xi was very surprised to see Liu Zhu suddenly appear. In fact, compared with Zhen Huan and Huan Bi, Liu Zhu was the person with whom she had the best relationship in Sui Yu Xuan.

The two had a brief master-disciple relationship, Liuzhu was smart and obedient, and the two got along very well. Therefore, Jinxi was very happy about Liuzhu's appearance.

"Liuzhu, why are you here? Come and sit down. Xiao Miaozi, go make a pot of tea and bring some snacks."

Xiao Miaozi, the young eunuch, immediately replied, "Hey, I'll go right away."

When Liuzhu saw Xiao Miaozi leave, she pulled Jinxi aside to talk to her, "Aunt Jinxi, how are you doing recently? Have the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs bullied you?"

Jin Xi smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now, how could they bully me?"

Liuzhu then realized that she had said the wrong thing. She said embarrassedly, "Aunt Jinxi, I was wrong."

What Jinxi liked was Liuzhu's innocence, so she naturally wouldn't get angry. "It's okay. There are only two of us here. It doesn't matter what we say."

After Jinxi finished speaking, she thought that with Liuzhu's personality, he would definitely not look for her for no reason, so she asked casually.

"How come you have time to come to see me today? Did Director Wan give you a day off?"

Liuzhu didn't notice at all that Jinxi's way of addressing Zhen Huan had changed from "Little Master" to "Wan Changzai". She only noticed the previous sentence and remembered Zhen Huan's instructions before saying this.

"Aunt Jingxi, the young lady asked me to come find you. She asked you to go to Suiyuxuan."

Jin Xi's eyebrows twitched slightly. She thought that since she didn't accept Zhen Huan's money last time, Zhen Huan should have understood what she meant. She didn't expect that such a short time later, Zhen Huan sent someone to find her.

Although she is in the Imperial Household Department, Jin Xi is still well-informed. The Imperial Household Department is the place that is most capable of changing with the wind. One can get a general idea of who is favored recently and who is silent just by looking at the movements of the Imperial Household Department.

And his former mistress, Wan Changzai, was obviously not among them. She must have something she wanted her to do now.

This made Jinxi even more reluctant to go to Suiyuxuan. "Liuzhu, what does Wanchang want to talk to me about? You can see that I'm always busy and may not have time to go over."

When Liuzhu first came in, she did see Jinxi was busy, but since Jinxi had time to sit down and chat with her, she guessed she also had time.

"Aunt Jinxi, what are you going to do? I can help you. How about I help you and then we can go back to Suiyuxuan together."

Jinxi didn't expect that Liuzhu's face became thicker not long after she left.

"Silly boy, the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can only be handled by ourselves. How can we let others come? If this is discovered, both you and I will suffer. I am very happy that you came to see me today, but I really don't have time to go to Sui Yuxuan. Go back and apologize to Wan Changzai for me."

Liuzhu only then noticed the alienation in Jinxi's words towards the young master, "Aunt Jinxi, what's wrong with you? You used to call her the young master along with us, why are you calling her Wan Changzai now?"
