The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 268: Concubine Jing's Bed
That night, Yinzhen originally wanted to go to the Yiku Palace. When he walked to the door of the Yangxin Palace, he hesitated.

Su Peisheng said cautiously.

"emperor?"

Yinzhen put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and said.

"I'm not going to Yikun Palace. I just supported Shilan today.

If we go now, there will inevitably be a lot of gossip in the palace. That’s not good.”

Su Peisheng secretly said in his heart that the emperor really cares about Concubine Hua and can consider her carefully.

"Your Majesty is right. Let's see, should we go to Suiyuxuan or Yanqing Palace?

Or, Noble Lady Fucha and Lady Xin, I guess they are still awake."

Yinzhen said.

"Lady Fucha, I heard that you are also a nosy person, and I hate women who are nosy the most.

Xin Changzai, I went there a few times a few days ago.

Concubine Duan’s Yanqing Palace, she has a light sleep, forget it, I won’t go there for now.

So as not to disturb her sleep and make her sleep poorly."

Su Peisheng laughed.

"Then there is only Suiyuxuan. If the emperor wants to move to Suiyuxuan,

I sent Xiao Xiazi to tell Lady Wan first.

So that the noble lady of Wan can prepare to receive the emperor."

Yinzhen waved his hand.

"Are there any concubines in the palace who have not yet slept with you?"

Su Peisheng suddenly had an idea. There was also a Concubine Zhen.

"Your Majesty is wise. There is also a concubine Zhen who has never slept with you.

Because Zhen Chang had been ill every now and then in the past few days,

The Queen Mother instructed the Imperial Hospital to treat him well."

Yinzhen frowned. He knew about this Zhen Changzai.

Yinzhen pondered for a while and said.

"Since you are not in good health, ask the Imperial Hospital to continue to take good care of you."

Su Peisheng opened his mouth, but swallowed what he was about to say. He felt like he had done something to offend someone.

Xiao Xia Zi rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

"It would be better to call the Imperial Household Department and have the Emperor pick a name card.

The emperor can choose whichever young lady he turns to, so that he won’t be embarrassed.”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Su Peisheng quickly took the wooden handle of the whisk and hit Xiao Xiazi on the head, with a crisp "clang" sound.

"You fool, do you have the right to speak? Following my master, you have no rules at all.

The emperor is so wise, if he wanted to turn over the cards, he would have done so long ago. How could a servant like you have the right to interfere?"

While Su Peisheng reprimanded Xiao Xia Zi for speaking casually in front of the emperor, he secretly glanced at Yinzhen.

Seeing that Yinzhen did not show any impatience or anger, he quietly felt relieved.

The person in front of you is the emperor, the supreme ruler of the country, and not someone that anyone can interfere with.

Xiao Xiazi was scolded by Su Peisheng and quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve to die. I spoke too much!"

Yinzhen knew that Su Peisheng was afraid that Xiao Xiazi would get into trouble by talking too much in the future, so he was eager to teach him a lesson.

Yinzhen waved his hand indifferently.

"It's okay, get up. Just be more careful next time."

Yinzhen looked at Su Peisheng and smiled.

"You are a shrewd fellow. Don't worry, I am at ease with the people you brought here.

I will go to Concubine Jing tonight and visit Princess Kangle. I haven't hugged the princess for a while."

Su Peisheng hit Xiao Xiazi's hat with the wooden handle again.

"Hurry up! Please get ready, Concubine Jing!" Xiao Xia Zi nodded and bowed, holding her head and ran away.

Yinzhen found it amusing, and having determined the direction, he slowly walked towards Xianfu Palace where Jingpin was.

Concubine Jing was holding the princess in her arms and coaxing her to recite the "Three Character Classic".

Princess Kangle said as she raised her little face in Concubine Jing's arms.

"Mother, I know all of these by heart. When can I meet the Emperor? I want to recite them to him."

Concubine Jing caressed Princess Kangle's pink little face lovingly and said with a smile.

"When you have memorized the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, I will take you to see the Emperor and recite to him, okay?"

Kang Le was a little frustrated and pouted.

"Mother always said that if Kang Le could recite the Three Character Classic, she would take him to recite it to the Emperor. Now that Kang Le has memorized it, Mother said that he should recite the Thousand Character Classic."

Jingpin touched her daughter's hair and sighed.

She was not favored to begin with, but relying on Concubine Hua's protection and giving birth to the well-behaved and clever Princess Kangle, she was already satisfied and had no other requests.

Her life is peaceful now and she doesn't want to be drawn into the vortex of vying for favor.

She also didn't want others to talk about her using her daughter to compete for favor.

Kang Le noticed that Jingpin was sighing, so she quickly put her arms around Jingpin's neck and spoke in a baby voice.

"Don't be sad, mother. Kang Le is reciting the Thousand Character Classic. Kang Le is obedient."

Jingpin smiled and hugged her even tighter, resting her chin on Kangle's hair.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Zhuozi, a young eunuch from her palace, trotting in, kneeling on the ground and saying happily.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xia who is with the Emperor has arrived and is outside."

Concubine Jing was in a daze for a moment. Could it be that the emperor had some instructions?

She put Kang Le down in her arms and walked out.

Xiao Xiazi was very obedient and knelt down immediately.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Emperor will be arriving at Xianfu Palace soon. Please pack your things and prepare to welcome him!"

Jingpin suddenly asked with a bit of panic.

"Your Majesty is coming now?"

Xiao Xia Zi looked up at Jingpin in surprise. When the other concubines heard that the emperor was coming, they were all overjoyed, but Jingpin seemed a little flustered.

"Yes, the emperor's carriage will arrive at Xianfu Palace soon, you should get ready."

Kang Le walked to Jingpin's side, looking up, looking very happy.

"Mother, is the Emperor coming? Can Kang Le recite the Three Character Classic for him?"

Concubine Jing thought about it, nodded, and responded with "yes".

She was used to not having to sleep with the emperor, and now that she suddenly had to, she felt uncomfortable.

But Kang Le longed for his father's favor so much that he always saw him even though he saw him every day, so he had few opportunities to be alone.

When Yinzhen arrived, he saw Jingpin and her daughter standing hand in hand in the corridor waiting for him.

"I, Princess Kangle, and I pay our respects to His Majesty. May His Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

When Jingpin paid her respects, she let go of Kangle's hand, and Kangle also knelt down like Jingpin.

Yinzhen was very pleased with the way Kang Le performed the ceremony seriously, and his voice was full of tenderness.

"Get up. I want to see you and your daughter. Come here, Kang Le."

Kang Le first looked at Jingpin, and when he saw her nod slightly, he flew to Yinzhen like a happy little bird.

Yinzhen picked up Kang Le and made her laugh. Jingpin followed Yinzhen into the house.

Nian Shilan heard Xiao Linzi's report that the emperor went to Xianfu Palace. She originally thought that he went to Shen Guiren's place, but she didn't expect that he went to Jingpin's place.

Nian Shilandao found out and sent Xiao Linzi away.

The next morning, when Jingpin went to pay her respects to Ulanara, she rarely wore bright clothes.

Just looking at Concubine Jing's expression, she felt quite uncomfortable.

Ulanara said with a smile.

"Jingpin, I have read the records of the Jingshifang and found that the emperor was at your place last night.

Is this dress also a new gift from the Emperor?
On weekdays, I always see you wearing plain colors.
In fact, you are still young, you should dress up well. "
