Although Big Fat Orange deeply resented the Empress Dowager's favoritism, he wanted to follow Concubine Hua's wishes and annex the private rooms in the Empress Dowager's hands to himself. Let that damn old fourteen not even get a hair out of him.
However, he had always governed the world with filial piety and tried to seize the Queen Mother's private property. It was really unpleasant to spread the word, and he had to care about his reputation.
Big Fat Orange said unwillingly, "There is no need to mention this again."
"Even if the former harem is short of money, I can't take advantage of the Queen Mother's private property. Otherwise, if it spreads, the world will see my joke. I can't afford to lose this person."
Concubine Hua stopped massaging his shoulders, turned around and got angry, and said arrogantly,
"I only care about the emperor, but the emperor speaks so unpleasantly."
"Why do you want to seize the Queen Mother's private property? Why can't you afford to lose this person? This is obviously sharing the Queen Mother's worries!"
"If the emperor is worried that the queen mother will be unhappy, why not tell the queen mother explicitly? How can the emperor know whether the queen mother is willing or not if the emperor doesn't ask?"
Big Fat Orange was blocked by Concubine Hua. He said it himself.
It's called sharing worries, but it's actually decentralizing power.
Big Fat Orange lamented in his heart that it was difficult to be an emperor. Ever since the newcomer entered the palace, Concubine Hua's temper had become much louder than before.
In the past, he only showed off his concubines' looks, but he was always gentle and courteous in front of him.
Now when someone is unhappy, he will pester him and make him angry, and will not let him calm down endlessly, which is very annoying.
But sometimes, it's still cute...
Big Fat Orange said, "Okay, I know you are thinking about me, but this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
Concubine Hua felt proud when she saw that Big Fat Orange had listened.
Let them, mother and son, work together to plot against her. She wanted to see what kind of human tragedy would result from the many conflicts and the desire for fame, wealth and power!
Concubine Hua squeezed Big Fat Orange's shoulders coquettishly again, "In all things, the most important thing is to put your heart into it. As long as you are willing to put your heart into it, there will always be more solutions than problems."
"The Emperor is very talented and wise, and even if I don't mention it, you can come up with other ideas."
Big Fat Orange stretched his hand to his shoulder, attached Concubine Hua's jade hand, and touched it again and again.
Sure enough, the fleshy one feels better to the touch!

Zhen Huan has been preparing to go out these days. If you want to gain the emperor's favor, you must first know his likes and dislikes.
Otherwise, if someone was not careful, violated some taboos, and died before leaving the battle, then she would be unjust.
The words Shen Meizhuang said before appeared in Zhen Huan's mind from time to time in the past few days, causing Zhen Huan to fall into deep thought unconsciously.
Huanbi came up with brown sugar and ginger tea. When she saw Zhen Huan sitting there, her eyes blurred, she knew that she was thinking about something again.
In the past few days, she often looked at Zhen Huan like this, not knowing what was going on and thinking so absorbedly.
"My lord, the brown sugar ginger tea is ready. Do you want to drink it now?"
Zhen Huan came to her senses and took the bowl, "Thank you for your hard work. I've been sick for so long, and you and Liu Zhu have to do everything."
Kang Luhai took several apprentices to find a way out, and after joining Libi's family, Suiyuxuan's heart was filled with confusion.
Several other lively palace maids and eunuchs also found a new place for themselves.
Now only Cui Jinxi, Liu Zhu, Huan Bi, Pei'er and a little Yunzi are left in Sui Yuxuan.
Even the snow in the yard had to be done by two personal maids, Huanbi Liuzhu. It can be seen from this that even Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong are helping.
Without the emperor's favor, it is not easy to live your own life behind closed doors in the palace.
Huanbi said, "What are you talking about, little master? My servant and Liu Zhu came out of the Zhen Mansion with my master. Naturally, I should put my master first in everything."
"But I have seen you often deep in thought these days. I wonder why?"
Zhen Huan was holding brown sugar ginger tea in her left hand and a spoon in her right hand. She scooped up a spoonful of amber tea. She looked at the figure reflected inside and said quietly,
"I was thinking, Sister Mei said before that the Emperor still misses me."
Huanbi said happily, "This shows that the emperor likes the young master very much, so he still remembers it after so long."
"With the Emperor's intention, it will be easy for the young master to gain favor!"
Seeing Huanbi's excitement, Zhen Huan didn't feel happy at all.
I only met him once during the palace election. This most noble man in the world had countless concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, but he was so interested in her.
A conceited and proud teenage girl, even if she has never seen the true face of the emperor, there is no such thing as a young girl's love for her, but how can she not be proud of it.
So when she first learned about this from Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan was shy on her face, but happy in her heart.
But after the excitement passed, I came back to my senses and realized something was wrong.
There are so many concubines in the harem, but she cannot compare to Concubine Hua in terms of appearance. When it comes to talent and temperament, there are also concubines who are quick-thinking.
It took less than a cup of tea for the palace candidate to say less than ten sentences in total. Shen Meizhuang and Sun Miaoqing were present before and after him.
It's not like the emperor has never seen a woman's lust, so why is he so interested in her?
Zhen Huan asked, "Huanbi, if you were the emperor, would you be unforgettable with the concubine whom you met once and only spoke a few words to for more than half a year?"
"Especially after adding several new favorites that obviously satisfy you very much."
The excitement and smile on Huanbi's face faded away. Although she felt that her little master was outstanding in appearance, talent, and everything.
As long as you meet the emperor, being favored is a matter of course. But he's not so arrogant that he thinks he can underestimate the world's heroes.
Huanbi said, "What the young master said is not unreasonable. I have seen a handsome Jinshi from a distance before."
"But let alone half a year, less than half a month, I forgot what he looked like."
Zhen Huan raised her eyes and looked at Huanbi. She didn't know anything about this.
"Jinshi? What Jinshi?"
Huanbi realized that she had spilled the beans and said with a blush, "It's nothing. I just went out to buy something once and took a look from a distance, just like that."
"Don't talk about me slave. Since the young master is suspicious, what are your plans?"
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you don't want any kind of woman. I really can't think of any other reason."
"Perhaps it's the bastard and the mung bean who have the right eye. Isn't there a saying that one glance lasts for ten thousand years?"
After saying that, Huanbi felt more and more that this was what she thought, and she covered her mouth and kept laughing.
Zhen Huan was made to laugh out loud by her, and she doubted in her heart whether she was really overthinking and causing all these troubles for nothing.
"Yes, maybe I really think too much."
"But since I have entered the palace to serve the emperor, if there is really a reason here, I will know it sooner or later."
After Zhen Huan finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to her. As for who knows the emperor best, apart from the empress who is recuperating in Jingren Palace and Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace, among the people she has a good relationship with, it is none other than Sun Miaoqing.
"Get ready, let's go to Chuxiu Palace to visit Concubine Cheng."
