The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 253 Arousing Interest
Songzhi leaned over and whispered in Nian Shilan's ear.

"My lady, there's a commotion going on over there with Lady Fucha, are you not going to intervene?"

Nian Shilan said without even raising her eyelids.

"Manage? How can I manage? The Emperor and Empress are here, I won't stand out and cause trouble.

Let her go, it would be better if the matter gets out of hand.

This song and dance is not as interesting as the affairs between women.

I am tired from drinking, and their noise is just the right thing for me to relieve my fatigue."

Songzhi covered her mouth and laughed.

"The queen's temper has become calmer and she cares less and less about the people around her."

Nian Shilan stretched and put her hand on Songzhi's.

"Let Lidong stay here. You accompany me to change clothes and sober up."

While everyone was drinking and chatting at the table, Songzhi helped Nian Shilan out through the side door.

This time, Shilan had just gone out to sober up, and Zhen Changzai, wearing new clothes, came in from the other side of the table.

She was a concubine, and her status was different from that of Concubine Shen, so naturally they did not sit in the same seat.

Lady Shen wanted to say a few words to Lady Zhen, but she was distant.

Concubine Shen took a plate of peeled honey pomelo from her table and asked Caixing to deliver it to Concubine Zhen's seat.

This candied pomelo was a tribute, only available to noble ladies and above. Noble Lady Shen only had a small plate, and she gave it all to Concubine Zhen.

It was because Zhen Chang complained yesterday that after taking wild ginseng to nourish her body, her body felt hot and her heart was restless, so she wanted some cool fruit.

When Concubine Shen saw this top-quality honey pomelo today, she asked Cai Xingquan to deliver it.

Zhen Changzai said to Caixing with a smile.

"Thank Sister Mei for me. She's the only one who's always thinking about me."

The way to gather stars.

"My lady, you are too polite. Our lady always says that she and you have had a bond since childhood.

Her things are yours. Just ask her for anything you need.

If our lady doesn't have it, she can go and ask Concubine Hua for it.

In short, as long as you want, our master will do his best."

Zhen Changzai smiled and sent Caixing away. She reached out and took a slice of honey pomelo. Just as she was about to eat it, she put it down for some reason.

Huanbi whispered beside her.

"Such a delicious pomelo was brought to you by Miss Meizhuang. Why don't you eat it?"

Zhen Changzai said as he looked at the plate of honey pomelo.

"I suddenly don't want to eat it. It's not easy for Sister Mei to get this plate of honey pomelo, but she always thinks of me.

If I had worked harder, we sisters wouldn't be in such a predicament."

Liu Zhu didn't understand what was going on.

"My young master, you are overthinking. Didn't Caixing just say,

"What belongs to Miss Meizhuang is yours. You can eat as much as you want."

Huanbi glanced at Liuzhu, who looked confused, and spoke with some contempt.

"What do you know? Our young lady is sad and feels that she is a burden to Young Lady Meizhuang."

Then Huanbi changed the subject.

"But now that Miss Meizhuang has gained the Emperor's favor and the favor of Concubine Hua,

How come you don't even know how to help our young master? Really."

Zhen Changzai was originally listening to the two palace maids bickering beside her, and suddenly heard Huanbi say this, and hurriedly spoke.

"shut up!"

Zhen Changzai looked around. Fortunately, everyone was busy with their own things and no one noticed her.

Zhen Chang scolded in a low voice.

"Huanbi, have you forgotten what I told you? You must be careful on duty these days.

How dare you say such things so casually? Do I have to teach you again and again that walls have ears?

It's a good thing that Mei Jie is favored, but you must not have such thoughts. If someone with ulterior motives hears it,

I am afraid that I will also die without a burial place."

Liu Zhu Dao.

"Pah, pah, pah, it's New Year's Day, what nonsense are you talking about.

We servants will listen to you, please stop talking nonsense.

Look how ripe this banana is. I'll peel one for you to eat." Huanbi was obviously a little dissatisfied after being scolded, but she could only suppress her dissatisfaction in front of her mistress. She secretly pouted and said nothing.

Nian Shilan changed her clothes and did not walk far. She just stood in the corridor for a while. When the cold wind blew, she returned to the warm hall.

Concubine Jing refused to drink and just played with Princess Kangle.

Princess Kangle was very well-behaved. She stretched out her little hands to hug Concubine Jing's neck and spoke in a baby voice.

"Mother, Kang Le is sleepy."

Jingpin looked at the time and found that it was still a long time before the midnight when the new year would pass away from the old year.

She patted Kang Le's back gently and coaxed him.

"Kang Le, look, your Royal Father and Royal Mother are talking.

After they have spoken, they will also give you a red envelope as a New Year gift.

After you receive the red envelope, mother will take you back to the palace to rest, okay?"

Kang Le nodded obediently, snuggled in Jingpin's arms, and still spoke in a baby voice.

"Kang Le listens to my mother."

Jingpin was extremely satisfied and her heart was soft as a thread.

She was not waiting for the red envelope. She was just afraid that returning to the palace at this time would spoil the emperor's interest.

Fortunately, Kang Le has always been a worry-free person for her since he was young.

Nian Shilan came back after sobering up. Seeing Princess Kangle in Jingpin's arms was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, she couldn't help but frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"The princess is already so exhausted, why doesn't Concubine Jing take her back to the palace to rest?"

Jingpin quickly explained.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am afraid that if I leave now, the Emperor will be unhappy.

I just coaxed the princess into agreeing to leave after midnight."

Year of the Landau.

"After midnight, it's time to leave. Kangle is the time for growth, so you should get more sleep.

You are too cruel to ask her to endure the same pain as us adults.

The emperor has always loved and doted on Kang Le, so he will understand. Take the princess back to rest quickly."

The commotion here attracted Yinzhen's attention. Jingpin had no choice but to send Ruyi to report the situation.

Yinzhen looked at Kang Le in Jingpin's arms, and the little guy had indeed half closed his eyes.

Yinzhen smiled.

"Forget it, forget it. The princess won't have to endure this in vain. Su Peisheng, give the reward I prepared to Ruyi, and let Jingpin take the princess back to the palace as soon as possible."

Ruyi knelt down to thank him, then happily went to report to Jingpin.

Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief and took the princess back to rest.

Concubine Jing walked in front, and the young eunuch carried the princess on his back behind her, and the wet nurse draped a small brocade quilt over the princess.

Ruyi held the reward and followed Jingpin.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is really good to the princess. You see, she was not pretending to be angry just now."

Jingpin looked at the palace maids and eunuchs holding lanterns walking on the palace road and said.

"I have said it several times, just call me Young Master when you are outside.

Empress Hua is kind to us mother and daughter, and I am grateful for that."

Ruyi curled her lips quietly and said.

"My lady, you are too cautious. You are a concubine, the legitimate mistress of a palace.

It's only right to call you "empress".

If you were to be so cautious, Concubine Hua would just be Lady Hua."

Jingpin stopped and Ruyi bumped into her unexpectedly.

Ruyi realized that she had said something wrong and quickly knelt down.

"Please forgive me, my lord. I shouldn't have refuted you."

Jingpin is always gentle, but today she looked cold and scolded Ruyi.

"It's no big deal if you refute me, but I'll say it again today, how can you talk about your master behind his back?

You are my dowry, and if what you said gets to the ears of outsiders, they will just think that I am dissatisfied with Concubine Hua.

You know, I have nothing but gratitude towards Concubine Hua.

If it weren't for Concubine Hua, how could this palace have the opportunity to have a daughter and advance to the throne now! "

Ruyi nodded but didn't dare to say anything else. Jingpin looked at Kang Le on the eunuch's back, sighed, and took his men back to the palace.

However, these words reached Ulanara's ears and aroused her interest.
