The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 262 Fu Cha Provokes Trouble
February comes at the beginning of the first month, and all the concubines in the harem and the close wives of princes and nobles have been invited to Jingren Palace in the first month.

On the second day of the second month, Ulanara held a banquet in Jingren Palace.

Nian Shilan arranged for Xiao Linzi to look after Yikun Palace, and watched the wet nurse coax the Fourth Prince to sleep. Then she took Songzhi and Lidong to Jingren Palace for the banquet.

Nian Shilan was wearing a light snow-blue dress today, a set of red gold and kingfisher feather headpiece in her hair, a pair of silver-plated kingfisher feather pearl earrings in her ears, and shoes on her feet were made of the same style and color fabric as her dress.

The weather was getting warmer, but because Nian Shilan had to sit high up in the sedan chair, Songzhi still put a thick cloak on her.

The fur of the cloak was of excellent quality, shiny and smooth, and it was obvious that it was of great value.

Nian Shilan leaned lazily on the sedan chair. When passing through the long street, the servants knelt from afar on both sides of the palace road.

Songzhi followed the sedan chair and said with a hint of pride.

"Master, I see, you are the most imposing person in the whole palace."

Nian Shilan held a flat gold hand warmer in her arms and looked straight ahead.

“There are many people at the banquet today, not only the people in the harem, but also the wives of the emperor’s brothers.

Be careful with your words and actions, and don't let others use you as a handle. Don't say things like what you just said again."

Songzhi quietly stuck out her tongue and responded with yes.

My master always looks very imposing, but he is actually very cautious.

This is the only way to maintain respect in the harem without annoying the emperor.

The sedan chair carrying Nian Shilan stopped in front of Jingren Palace. Nian Shilan slowly got out of the sedan chair with the help of Songzhi and Lidong.

At the gate of Jingren Palace, concubines came to the banquet in groups of three or four, and they greeted Nian Shilan one by one.

Nian Shilan just nodded lightly, then took Songzhi and Lidong into the gate of Jingren Palace.

Noble Lady Fucha followed behind Nian Shilan and curled her lips.

In a voice that was not too loud but still loud enough for Nian Shilan to hear clearly, he agreed to An who came with him.

"Huh, I don't know who this whole demeanor is for.

No matter how crazy she is, she is just a concubine.

An agreed, don't you think so? "

An Da Ying was frightened by Fu Cha Guiren's words. He shrank his head and spoke in a low voice.

"I, I don't know what Noble Fucha is talking about. Please don't talk nonsense."

Songzhi and Lidong were furious. Songzhi turned around and was about to question Noble Lady Fucha, but Nian Shilan raised her hand slightly to stop Songzhi.

Nian Shilan turned around and stood still, looking at Noble Lady Fucha and said with a smile.

"Noble Lady Fucha is so ambitious. I didn't know that Noble Lady Fucha is the next empress.

Please forgive me for my poor eyesight and for not paying my respects to you, the next queen, just now."

Although Nian Shilan had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of coldness, and her words directly pointed out that Noble Lady Fucha was extremely rebellious.

Noble Fucha was only sixteen years old, and she felt that she was favored by the emperor since she entered the palace. Except for the empress, she ignored everyone else.

Seeing that Nian Shilan was speaking with sarcasm in his voice, he puffed out his chest, bent his knees perfunctorily, and replied.

"Your Majesty, your words are too serious. You are putting me in a situation of disloyalty and injustice.

I don't have such rebellious thoughts. Why does Your Majesty have to slander me?

Although both I and the Empress are from the Manchu military flag, I respect the Empress very much.

If other people heard what Concubine Hua said, they would think that I was disrespectful to the Empress."

Nian Shilan sneered, looked at Noble Lady Fucha again, said nothing more, and turned away.

Songzhi said angrily.

"Master, the words of Noble Lady Fucha have offended you so much.
You were so kind as to tolerate her.

I wish I could tear her mouth to pieces!" Nian Shilan sneered.

"I am good-tempered? You are right, I am too good-tempered now.

I was actually ridiculed by a little noble. But Songzhi, you have to know that

Sometimes you don’t need to do things in this world yourself.”

In the past few years, Songzhi has seen what Nian Shilan wanted to do and has learned to use other people to do it. She knew that this time, Noble Lady Fucha had offended someone she shouldn't have.

But I don’t know who Nian Shilan wants to use this time.

Nian Shilan thought that in his previous life, many things were caused by his anger and he did them himself, which made his relatives sad and his enemies happy.

In her previous life, she sentenced Concubine Xia to a hundred lashes of scarlet blood, which established her authority, but also caused everyone in the palace to resent her.

During those days, every concubine in the harem was in danger, and she had heard many unpleasant rumors.

In this life, there is really no need for me to step forward myself.

There are people who do many things for her.

Noble Lady Fucha saw Nian Shilan go ahead, and looked at An complacently and agreed.

"Did you see that? So what if Concubine Hua is so powerful? No matter how favored the concubines of the Han army are, they dare not confront those of our Manchu army.

The Empress and I are both from the Manchu flag. The Han flag has been favored in the palace for too long, so the Empress must be willing to clean it up."

As she spoke, Noble Lady Fucha glanced at An Da Ying with disdain and continued.

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you this. As the daughter of a small family, why should I teach you this?"

An agreed and clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, but her face was timid.

"Sister Fucha's teachings are very true. I am of humble origins, and I hope Sister Fucha will support me in the future."

Noble Lady Fucha snorted disdainfully.

"No, I don't have a sister as shabby as you, don't call me sister, it's unlucky.

If you want me to support you, you have to see if you are worthy of it."

After saying that, he took Sang'er and walked towards the main hall of Jingren Palace.

Baojuan looked at Noble Lady Fucha's back and said hatefully.

"Bah, she is just a small noble, who is she showing off like this to?

My lady, don't be sad.

A hero is not judged by his origin. Although you are just an agreeor now, you will surely have a chance to succeed in the future.

Didn't Lady Fucha rely on the fact that she was a Manchu military flag to get close to the Queen?

But in my opinion, Her Majesty, who is so kind, would probably look down upon her for what she did.

If you have the opportunity, you can also get close to the Queen."

An agreed with a wry smile and sighed.

"Who am I? It's not easy for me to win the favor of the Queen.

Baojuan, you saw it, Noble Lady Fucha doesn't even take Concubine Hua seriously.

As someone of humble origins, I have no choice but to bow my head to her."

An Da Ying was not blind to the reluctance in Baojuan's eyes.

An Da Ying thought that following a young lady as incompetent as herself, even the maids around her would feel wronged.

Zhen Changzai came with Shen Guiren and entered the room a little late. She only heard Fucha Guiren sneer at An Dancing smugly and leave, but she did not see the previous scene.

Zhen Changzai looked at An Da Ying with difficulty and thought of her own situation in the palace, she couldn't help feeling pity for him.

She took a few steps forward and caught up with An Da Ying who was slowly walking towards the main hall.
