The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 115 Warm fragrant nephrite
The eunuch outside passed the message.

"The master is here~!"

Shu Gege was stunned for only a moment, then stood up, straightened his clothes and walked out.

When Yinzhen stepped into the courtyard of Liufang Pavilion, Hu Gege was already standing in the corridor, bowing.

"My concubine greets my master, may you be well and safe."

Shu Gege also came out of the house and bowed and greeted.

Yinzhen looked at Hu Gege.

"If I remember correctly, you should still be under house arrest."

Hu Gege didn't dare to look up and kept the posture of greeting. She couldn't get up unless Yinzhen called her.

At this time, Hu Gege lowered her head and eyes, and even though her face was flushed, she still forced herself to reply.

"My Lord, I am still under house arrest. But when I heard the eunuch's message just now, I thought I was dreaming. I didn't expect that my Lord would come to see me one day. I forgot myself for a moment. I beg for forgiveness."

Yinzhen walked past Hu Gege and went to Shu Gege's house.

"Get up. Since you are still under house arrest, stay indoors. I am here to visit Shu today."

Hu Gege felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her head. Zijing looked at her master and her own princess entering the house. She was so proud that she could hardly control herself. She sneered at Hu Gege and followed them into the house.

The servants in the courtyard didn't dare to look at Hu Gege's expression, but that didn't stop them from discussing it in private. When Hu Gege thought of this possibility, her teeth were almost broken.

Shu Gege followed Yinzhen into the house and brought over the tea herself.

Yinzhen took a sip and found it was stale tea. He frowned slightly.

Shu Gege knelt down nervously and whispered.

"Master, please forgive me. Here are all the tea leaves that are allowed. Next time, next time, I will prepare some good tea for you, Master."

Yinzhen asked Zijing to help Shu Gege up. He held the teacup and looked at her, then asked.

"Has this tea always been like this, or has it only become like this recently?"

Sugar replied cautiously.

"My Lord, this has always been the case. I usually think this tea is very good, but it cannot be compared with the tea my Lord uses."

After saying that, she lowered her head in a hurry, and glanced at Yinzhen cautiously with her wet eyes.

Yinzhen suddenly saw the shadow of Yunxi in her.

Once upon a time, Yunxi also looked at him with such a pair of wet eyes, just asking him to take her out of the house and walk on the street.

At that time, Yunxi was pregnant, and Yinzhen felt distressed even when she walked a few steps in the mansion. How could he dare to take her to the crowded streets?

Yinzhen put down the teacup and reached out to hold Shu Gege's hand.

Shu Gege's hands were extremely beautiful, slender, white, and soft as if they had no bones. When they were held in Yinzhen's big hands, Shu Gege's face flushed.

"I will have someone bring you some good tea later. How can you drink tea like this?"

Shu Gege's hand was still in Yinzhen's hand, her face red as she spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you, Master. I will save the good tea and brew it for you when you come."

Yinzhen was very pleased with Shu Gege's obedience.

"Just drink the tea I gave you. After you finish drinking it, ask someone to send it back. It's not like the palace can't afford this little tea. It's strange, why didn't I find you so well-behaved and cute before?"

Yinzhen said with a smile.

Shu Gege lowered his head in embarrassment, his ears turning red.

"Master, please don't make fun of me. Maybe it's because you were busy in the past and rarely came to the backyard. I didn't walk around in front of you that much, so you didn't pay attention to me. In the future, I hope you'll come more often."

It seemed like Shu Gege had used up all her courage to say these words. She followed Yinzhen's hand and crawled into Yinzhen's arms. With the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Yinzhen buried his face in Shu Gege's hair.

"What kind of hair oil did you use? It smells so good. It's not as pungent as the sweet-scented osmanthus oil, but it makes you feel like a spring breeze and warms your heart."

Shu Gege said sullenly in Yinzhen's arms.

"My Lord, this is just ordinary flower oil. I added some of my favorite spices to it. If you like it, I will use this oil from now on, okay?"

Yinzhen felt Shu Gege's soft body, picked up a bunch of hair and took a deep breath.

"Okay, I like this flavor. Can you prepare a special flavor for me to use someday?"

Shu Gege nodded slightly, and gradually closed her arms around Yinzhen's strong waist.

Su Peisheng and Zijing had already quietly retreated.

The next morning, a servant came to report to Nian Shilan that the master had rewarded Shu Gege with half a pound of the best Lu'an tea.

Nian Shilan was still drinking her favorite Fenghuang Dancong tea. After hearing this, she just smiled faintly and said.

"I see. It seems Sugar is favored."

Nian Shilan thought about it, and told Songzhi to give half a pound of her favorite Phoenix Dancong tea and send it to Shu Gege.

Songzhi was puzzled.

"Master, she is just a princess after all. How can she deserve to drink such fine tea?"

Year of the Landau.

"Shut up! Although Shu Gege is still just a princess, she is the master's new favorite after all. Didn't you see? The master gave her good tea as a reward. Be careful next time."

Songzhi nodded and didn't dare to say anything else. She went to find some tea and took it back to Liufang Pavilion.

Shu Gege looked at the two portions of tea in front of her, one was the Lu'an tea given by the master, and the other was the Phoenix Dancong tea given by the concubine.

They are all top-quality teas. As a princess, I have never had such good things in my ration.

The difference between being favored and being unfavored is too obvious.

The servants in the palace have always been fawning on the powerful and looking down on the weak. Some smart ones have already started to curry favor with Zijing in private, hoping to be transferred to work for Shu Gege.

Shu Gege thought, this is just the beginning.

Yinzhen dismissed the court and went to the Xingfu Courtyard. Ulanara was sitting by the window reading a book in the light. When she heard Yinzhen coming, she calmly put down her book and stood up to greet him.

"I have met the master and I pay my respects to him. I wish him good health and happiness."

Ulanara blessed the body, Yinzhen said casually.

"Please stand up, Madam. I came here today to see how Madam is doing."

Yinzhen knew that Ulanara was fine, so it all depended on how she would answer.

Ulanara let Yinzhen sit at the top, and she sat on a chair beside him, saying with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, my master. I am not seriously ill. I just took the opportunity to rest for the past two days. I have troubled my younger sister Nian to take care of the affairs of the mansion. I heard that my younger sister Nian is quite capable. Although this is her first time to take care of the affairs, judging from the report from the housekeeper, she seems to be familiar with it every day. This is of course my master's good vision."

Yinzhen nodded.

"Well, Shilan has been idle since she entered the mansion, but she has a strong personality, so she can actually help you with some things. How is Duan's fetus these days? Is there anything wrong?"

Ulanara knew that Duan was not favored, and her pregnancy was beyond everyone's expectations. The fetus in her belly was not taken seriously either, but Yinzhen rarely asked about this.

"Master, rest assured. Although Duan is under house arrest, I have arranged for someone to carefully take care of her food and daily necessities to ensure that the fetus is safe."

After thinking for a while, Ulanara said again.

"I am thinking secretly that Duan is now five months pregnant and she has always been in good health, so the fetus can be stable. But she is still under house arrest, and she is inevitably depressed. I am afraid that it is not good for her to take care of the baby. How about, Master, pick a day and release her from house arrest?"
