Chapter 236 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 19

Concubine Hua's eyes wandered over everyone's faces, and finally landed on Shen Meizhuang: "Lady Shen, you have been assisting in managing the six palaces for quite some time. Are you used to it?"

Shen Meizhuang's heart trembled, knowing that Concubine Hua was deliberately embarrassing her in front of everyone.

She suppressed her uneasiness and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I am still young in experience. I am grateful to the Emperor and Your Highness for not abandoning me and letting me help manage the six palaces. I will do my best and will not slack off in the slightest."

Hua Fei chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "I see you busy all day long, but you don't see any results. Instead, you cause a lot of trouble. It seems that you are not good at the job of assisting the six palaces."

Shen Meizhuang's face changed slightly, but she didn't dare to refute. She could only lower her head and said in a low voice: "I am stupid, please teach me, Your Majesty."

There was a glimmer of pride in Concubine Hua's eyes. She wanted to embarrass Shen Meizhuang in front of everyone and let her know who was the real master in the harem.

"There is no need for your guidance. It's just that as a concubine, I should teach the sisters in the harem to prevent you from losing manners in front of the emperor and bringing shame to the royal family." Concubine Hua paused, her tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Lady Shen, you will follow me to Yikun Palace today. I will teach you how to help manage the six palaces."

Shen Meizhuang's heart sank, knowing that she would be doomed today, but she could only respond helplessly: "Yes, I will follow your instructions."

"elder sister……"

An Lingrong grabbed Shen Meizhuang's sleeve with some concern.

"Go back without worry. She won't dare to do anything to me." Shen Meizhuang patted Ling Rong's hand and chased after Concubine Hua's sedan chair.

"Hey, isn't this our Concubine Shen who helps manage the six palaces? Why did you arrive just now?"

As soon as Shen Meizhuang stepped into the threshold of Yiku Palace, she heard Concubine Hua's sarcastic voice coming from the inner room.

She frowned slightly, but had to put on a smile, walked slowly in front of Concubine Hua, and bowed: "I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Hua Fei snorted coldly, leaning back on the couch, and said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Shen is now a favorite of the Emperor, helping to manage the six palaces and handling a myriad of affairs. How dare I punish you?"

Shen Meizhuang remained calm and maintained a proper smile: "Your Highness, you are joking. You are of noble status and I dare not be disrespectful."

"Really? It seems to me that Concubine Shen is in high spirits now. I'm afraid she has long forgotten the rules of the harem?" Hua Fei said, staring at Shen Meiyu with a sharp gaze, as if she wanted to see through her.

Shen Meizhuang sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said calmly: "My sister is stupid, please tell me clearly, Madam."

"Explicitly? Humph, stop playing dumb in front of me!"

Hua Fei sat up straight, pointed at Shen Meizhuang's nose and cursed: "The emperor was just deceived by your false and noble appearance. Do you really think you are a noble and arrogant fairy? Don't you see what kind of person you are? Are you qualified to put on airs in front of me?"

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!" Shen Meizhuang's face darkened and her tone turned cold.

Although she was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Concubine Hua, it did not mean that she would allow the other party to bully her at will.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Concubine Hua's words were full of contempt and disdain.

"Your Highness!" Shen Meizhuang could no longer hold back, she stood up abruptly, glaring at Concubine Hua, "I respect you as the Emperor's concubine, and I will be courteous to you, but you shouldn't go too far! I, Shen Meizhuang, am upright and honest, how the Emperor treats me is His Grace, it is not your turn to judge!"

Concubine Hua had never expected that Shen Meizhuang, who had always been docile, would dare to contradict her in person. She was immediately furious and slammed the table, pointing at Shen Meizhuang's nose and scolding, "How dare you, Shen Meizhuang, to commit treason!"

Hua Fei looked at Shen Meizhuang's stubborn face and became even angrier.

She sneered and said in a cold voice: "Lady Shen, since you are so unruly, then copy the palace rules three times. You are not allowed to leave until you finish copying them! If you can't finish copying them today, continue tomorrow. I have plenty of time to supervise you!"

The palace rules are 828 pages long. How long will it take to copy them three times?

Shen Meizhuang was furious, but she didn't show it. She just said calmly, "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything wrong. How can I be punished so easily?"

Concubine Hua smiled instead of getting angry: "Well, Concubine Shen is indeed fair and law-abiding. Then I should let you copy the palace rules, so that you don't forget your identity and rules."

Shen Meizhuang took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in her heart, and said slowly: "Since the queen insists on doing this, then this concubine can only accept the punishment."

Hua Fei had a sneer on her face and waved her hand: "That's great! Let's get started."

Shen Meizhuang sighed helplessly, walked slowly to a small table beside her, and began to copy it word by word.

She knew in her heart that Concubine Hua's move was simply to embarrass her and make her understand who the emperor really cared about in the harem.

Now she could only place her hope on the emperor, hoping that he would have some mercy and come to save her.

Time passed by minute by minute, beads of sweat oozed out of Shen Meizhuang's forehead, and her wrists gradually ached, but she still persisted, copying the palace rules stroke by stroke.

In the silent Yikun Palace, there was only the sound of Shen Meizhuang's pen scratching on paper. Her heart was filled with helplessness and persistence.

At this time, Yinzhen drove Su Peisheng and others away, and painted leisurely alone in the Yangxin Palace.

Yinzhen took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, dipped the brush in thick ink, and began to sketch on the drawing paper. He painted very slowly, pouring all his heart and soul into every stroke, as if he wanted to carve Chuhua deeply into his bones and blood.

Time passed by little by little, and Yinzhen's painting was also nearing completion. In the painting, Chu Hua was wearing a light pink Manchu dress, with her long black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair hung playfully on her cheeks, making her skin whiter than snow and more delicate and charming. She had a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were clear and bright, like a clear spring that could wash away all the filth in the world.

Yinzhen stared at the person in the painting infatuatedly, as if she was right in front of him and could be touched. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the delicate cheek of the person in the painting with his fingertips, and the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Chu Huan, what kind of magic power do you have that makes me so worried about you and so hard to let you go..." Yinzhen murmured to himself, his voice filled with a hint of infatuation and pain that he himself did not even notice.

He put down the painting, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling mixed emotions.

"Su Peisheng!"

"I am here, Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
