Chapter 338: Penglai Island Past 2
"Sister Songzhi, did you carefully select the fruits for the emperor? The emperor did not praise it highly. It seems that sister should try to understand the emperor's intentions!" At this time, Zhen Huan smiled brightly. She was mocking Songzhi for not being able to even touch the emperor's heart by sending him a pair of grapes. What she said was no longer an innuendo, but a metaphor.
This was also the first time Song Zhi attended this party as a concubine. She didn't have much experience in dealing with such situations. She looked at Concubine Hua and saw her rolling her eyes slightly. She didn't know what that meant, so she could only bow and admit her mistake, "Your Majesty is right."
The more I talked, the more I felt comfortable. I wanted to confess to the emperor and complain, "I have only served the emperor for more than a month, and there are still many things I am not good at. Please teach me, Your Majesty." Although I am not as good as you in understanding the emperor's intentions, I have paid attention to everything about the emperor. I think about it day and night, and there is nothing that is not about the emperor. Please understand. "
Concubine Hua nodded in appreciation and thought to herself, he is worthy of being by my side for many years, he is so eloquent and really wins my heart!
"I know that as long as I am here, no one will dare to say that to you."
The emperor seems to be supporting Songzhi, but in fact, this is not something that can be easily understood. If it was Zhen Huan who was criticized like this, Zhen Huan would definitely fight back, and the emperor would definitely explain that he liked this fruit instead of just saying something empty like no one dared to bully her. Unfortunately, Songzhi and Concubine Hua did not understand.
"The emperor has always been fond of sister Wanpin and rarely speaks for others. It can be seen that the emperor really pities sister Songzhi." Concubine Xin has always been a good helper, so even the suspicious Concubine Hua and Songzhi were unable to react for a while, wondering whether the emperor really pity her, and even alienated the relationship between Concubine Hua and Songzhi.
"Sister Songzhi is right. Who doesn't figure out the emperor's intentions bit by bit? Can it be all based on your passion for the emperor? But sister, you have to work harder. It's July now. The emperor will return in early August. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be the once-in-three-years selection of concubines. By then, there will be many new people and sister will be busy."
"No matter how busy you are, you can never be busier than the Empress. Concubine Wan is older and is deeply loved by the Emperor, so she can naturally teach those sisters with ease."
Zhen Huan's smile froze slightly, as if it was held in place by an invisible force. She originally thought Song Zhi was just a simple-minded person, but she never expected her to be so eloquent.
Zhen Huan's words were still echoing in the air. She said that Song Zhi would lose her favor to the newcomer, but Song Zhi responded to her in an unexpected way.
"I often hear people say that hardworking people do not age easily. My sister is not only hardworking but also good at understanding the intentions of her superiors and getting along with everyone. That's why she is so favored by Concubine Hua and is willing to present you to the Emperor. I cannot do these things." After saying this, Zhen Huan covered her mouth and sneered.
After losing in this race, Zhen Huan took another approach and directly attacked Song Zhi's background. Song Zhi was just a maid in the Nian Mansion. Even though she was presented to the emperor, her status was lower than that of everyone else. She also took the opportunity to satirize Concubine Hua for relying on sending people to bind the emperor's heart.
As expected, after Zhen Huan finished speaking, everyone in the palace looked unhappy. Concubine Hua chuckled, "Wanpin is being presumptuous, doesn't the emperor care?"
At this time, whatever Concubine Hua said was bound to be criticized, so she cut off the source of the problem and directly brought the emperor into the picture. After all, it was the emperor who said that no one was allowed to bully Songzhi.
"What do you think, Queen?"
The emperor passed the buck to the queen, who was furious, but had to answer, "With so many women, it's inevitable that there will be verbal disputes. I was happy today and drank a little too much. It wasn't intentional. I will talk to them properly after the banquet."
"Is this how the Queen usually manages the harem for me?" The Queen's sudden attack made her face change, and she couldn't tell what he meant for a moment.
