The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 265 How to deal with it
Concubine Wan bowed to Ulanara, sat down and said.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your kindness."

Nian Shilan felt that today's palace banquet was really boring.

She was about to say that she was not feeling well and wanted to leave early, but Concubine Li spoke again.

"Ah~ The Emperor dotes on her, the Empress loves her, and Concubine Hua is generous.

Among us sisters, Lady Wan is the most glorious after all.

I wish I could have such a beautiful view someday."

Nian Shilan sneered and looked at Concubine Li.

“If you want to be famous, you should also consider whether you are worthy of it.

Li Guiren kept saying that she envied Wan Guiren,

In fact, I am resentful towards the Emperor, the Empress and me.

Since you are not as successful as others, then think of a solution.

Instead of being sour and jealous every day and making a fool of yourself.”

After saying that, Nian Shilan stood up, bowed to Ulanara, and said.

"Please forgive me, Queen. I drank two glasses of wine and I am not feeling well.
I will take my leave now. Please allow me to do so, Her Majesty the Queen."

Ulanara frowned.

“The party has just begun and it has turned out like this.

Hua Fei, you are a concubine, why bother to argue with your sisters? "

Before Nian Shilan could speak, there was a message from outside the door.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

As he was speaking, Yinzhen had already entered the main hall of Jingren Palace with Su Peisheng and other servants.

The palace was filled with women, but since he was the emperor, it wasn't a big inconvenience.

Ulanara walked down from the seat of honor and stood in the center of the hall, with the concubines and the wives of princes and nobles standing behind her.

Everyone paid their respects to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

Yinzhen looked at everyone in the hall and his eyes fell on Nian Shilan.

But seeing the stubborn look on Nian Shilan's exquisite and elegant face, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh.

As soon as he heard what happened in Jingren Palace, he hurried over to support this little fox, but she looked as hard as a rock.

"Everyone, get up and sit down to talk."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Everyone thanked him, took their seats, and looked at each other, not understanding why the emperor had come so suddenly.

Ulanara sat carefully below Yinzhen and said with a smile.

"Today was originally a gathering of women, and I didn't know the emperor was coming. Now I have ordered my servants to prepare wine for the emperor."

Yinzhen said.

"I know today is the Queen's banquet, but can I not come?
I am tired from reviewing memorials, so I went out for a walk. I heard that Jingren Palace is very lively.

I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to offend the Queen."

Yinzhen said this with a smile, but Ulanara could not see any smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. How dare I disrespect you?

The world belongs to the emperor, and he can go wherever he wants.

It's just that the emperor usually likes the fine wine, so I sent someone to get it."

The Seventh Lady did not expect the Emperor to come. She belatedly remembered the sarcasm in her previous words to Concubine Hua, and she couldn't help shaking all over.

Yinzhen didn't even look at the Seventh Lady, he just said.

"I reviewed the memorials today, and Qi Baili wrote a memorial saying that Wu Sangui was not at peace in the southwest.

I think that all the efforts made by the late emperor to appease the vassal kings in the border areas are now in vain."

Everyone was wondering, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, so what did the emperor mean by saying this at this time?

When Concubine Duan heard the name of her grandfather Qi Baili, she looked up at Yinzhen, then quickly lowered her head.

Yinzhen changed the subject and said.

"My fifth brother has never fought with others, and I have not put him under heavy responsibility. My ninth brother is still in his fiefdom, and he should not be involved in border affairs.

My seventh brother seems to be a well-behaved boy on weekdays.

I originally wanted my seventh brother to pacify the southwestern border for me.

But today I heard gossip that there was unrest in my seventh brother's house.

In this case, I would not like to trouble my seventh brother to leave the capital.

The Book of Rites says that a real man should cultivate himself and regulate his family so that he can govern the country and bring peace to the world.

"Seventh brother, you are a fool. If there is no peace in the mansion, how can you convince the people?"

If it was said that the Seventh Lady was originally afraid that the Emperor would settle accounts with her when she saw him coming, now that these words were spoken, she collapsed in her chair.

She and Prince Chun have been married for many years, and Prince Chun has always been dissatisfied with her practice of training concubines in the mansion.

But her mother's family was also a prominent family, and Prince Chun couldn't really compete with her over the issue of concubines.

The Seventh Lady knew very well that her husband, Prince Chun, was not as innocent as he appeared to be.

After the death of the previous emperor, Prince Chun also said some nonsense when he was drunk.

However, the Seventh Concubine kept the matter secret and never let the Emperor know, otherwise she would not be able to live the peaceful life she has today.

The maid following the Seventh Lady was busy helping her up from the chair and did not notice that the Emperor was staring at them.

Yinzhen spoke to the Seventh Concubine with great dignity.

"What happened to Mrs. Luo? But I didn't explain it clearly enough. Mrs. Luo doesn't have the patience to listen anymore?"

The Seventh Lady's maid said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Our wife is drunk and weak. I will take her downstairs to sober her up."

Cao Changzai, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.

"I noticed that Mrs. Luo didn't drink just now. Mrs. Gushan offered a toast to Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Luo said that she was not feeling well and could not drink.

You little girl, huh, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor,

Do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor?
Or is this the rule in Prince Chun’s mansion?

Tell lies to the Supreme Being."

Ulanara and Nian Shilan looked at Cao Changzai at the same time.

Cao Chang is usually inconspicuous and doesn't talk much, so it's rare that he said so much today.

Xin Changzai Yidao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard it clearly too.

Mrs. Luo not only said that she was not feeling well,

He even ignored Concubine Hua.

Frankly speaking, we concubines deserve to be severely punished."

Xin Changzai was not a fool. From what Yinzhen said, she understood that Yinzhen was supporting Nian Shilan today.

Otherwise, how can one explain his arrival at the place where these women gathered at the right time?
Yinzhen heard what he wanted to hear, and then looked at Nian Shilan, who was offended by the Seventh Lady's words. He saw that her eyes were red, but she was stubborn and refused to let the tears fall.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he hadn't come, Nian Shilan would have surely become enemies with the Seventh Lady.

Fortunately, I came, so Nian Shilan wouldn't have to suffer such injustice.

This person, when facing difficulties alone, will just grit his teeth and persevere.

What he feared most was that someone would suddenly support him, and that was what happened to Nian Shilan right now.

Yinzhen twisted the beads in his hand, and the beads shone with an emerald green luster.

Ulanara took a look at the pearl necklace, which was a favorite gift her sister had given to Yinzhen.

At that time, my sister said that this thing can help people calm down.

Ulanara knew that over the years, Yinzhen would only twist the beads when he was irritated or angry.

The Seventh Lady was helped up by her personal maid, and knelt in the hall, speaking tremblingly.

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I will never do that again. I have offended Concubine Hua with my nonsense.

I kowtow to Empress Hua and apologize! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

As the Seventh Lady spoke, she turned around and kowtowed to Nian Shilan.

Yinzhen ignored the Seventh Lady and spoke to Nian Shilan.

"Shilan, what should I do?"
