The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 275 How to explain
Su Peisheng, who had been standing behind Yinzhen, saw clearly that Concubine Li seemed to be talking in her sleep, but her eyelashes were trembling, and it was obvious that she was pretending.

Yinzhen turned and asked Su Peisheng.

"What did Concubine Hua do today to scare Concubine Li like this?"

Su Peisheng replied honestly.

"I heard from my servants that Concubine Hua encountered Concubine Li scolding me on the street.

Somehow, Yan Zhi, the maidservant beside Concubine Li, took action and slapped the servant.

This angered Concubine Hua. I also heard that the maid talked back to Concubine Hua and was slapped ten times by her.

Li Guiren pleaded for the maid, and Concubine Hua said she would give her a lighter sentence and sent her to serve in the Shenxing Division.

After Su Peisheng finished saying this, he secretly glanced at Concubine Li, who was lying on the bed and mumbling with her lips moving, and saw that her eyelashes were indeed moving non-stop.

Yinzhen followed Su Peisheng's gaze and also noticed something was wrong.

He rolled his eyes and said.

"I review memorials during the day and adjudicate cases in the harem at night.

At present, in addition to Hua Fei helping the Queen to manage the six palaces,

There is no one who can help the queen.

I want to raise the status of the harem.

But there are so many trivial things happening all day long.

It really gave me a headache. "

As Yinzhen spoke, he looked at Concubine Li. Concubine Li, who had been "mumbling" just now, now became quiet, but her eyelashes trembled even more violently.

Su Peisheng thought to himself, maybe he is pretending to be calm for the emperor to see.

After a while, Concubine Li let out a long sigh, woke up slowly, opened a pair of innocent eyes and looked at Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, was I talking in my sleep just now?"

Doctor Qiu in the room lowered his head to write a prescription, hiding the unspeakable expression in his eyes.

When I took Concubine Li's pulse, it was clearly just a fever caused by the cold. However, when Concubine Li's maid went to report to the Emperor, she said that she was frightened.

I am just a small imperial physician, there is no point in arguing about these things.

Just prescribe the medicine with peace of mind.

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Li and smiled, which was rare for her, and Concubine Li was stunned.

The emperor has always been stern and seldom smiles, but today he actually smiled at me.

Concubine Li was delighted when she heard Yinzhen say.

"It's okay. The imperial physician also said that you were just frightened. It's harmless to talk in your sleep."

As he spoke, Yinzhen suddenly sighed.

"I originally thought that you have been in the palace for some time and have always served me very wholeheartedly.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, I want to promote you to a higher position, and I will give you this Qixiang Palace to live in alone."

Concubine Li wanted to get out of bed and kneel down to thank God immediately, but she was still "sick", so she could only say to Yinzhen with her eyes lighting up.

"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace!"

Before Concubine Li could continue speaking, Yinzhen interrupted her.

"I haven't finished yet. I originally wanted to promote you, but you were frightened today.

First of all, the imperial physician said that this tranquilizer needs to be taken for a long time.

Secondly, I think you should control your temper and wait until you can handle things calmly.
I will still promote you and grant you the position of the head of a palace."

The second half of Concubine Li's words were stuck in her throat, she couldn't speak them out, and couldn't swallow them down, she just stared at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Look, I just told you to calm down and you're angry again.

Well, just now you were calling your palace daughter in your dream.

I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick out a better one for you later."

Concubine Li suppressed her disappointment, looked at Yinzhen, and smiled weakly.

"I will remember the emperor's teachings. I am used to Yan Zhi, but it's a pity that she was ignorant and angered Concubine Hua.

When I feel better, I will go to Yiku Palace in person to apologize to Concubine Hua.

Yanzhi is my servant, so I should take some responsibility for my poor teaching."

Yinzhen smiled with satisfaction, reached out and touched Concubine Li's face, and said.

"Okay, okay. I'm glad you're so sensible.

You should take good care of yourself. The imperial physicians are here. I will return to the Yangxin Palace first, as I have to attend the morning court tomorrow."

When Concubine Li heard that Yinzhen was about to leave, she spoke anxiously.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy for me to see you, please stay with me for a while.

How about staying in Qixiang Palace tonight?"

Su Peisheng frowned behind Yinzhen, who had already spoken in a serious tone.

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and I am not a tyrant who would give up government for the sake of beauty."

Su Peisheng apologized with a smile.

"Miss Li, just rest and recover. The emperor is in poor health, so you better be careful.

If you pass the disease on to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Queen know about it,
They will definitely blame you, right?"

Concubine Li used the excuse of recuperating from illness and had not visited Ulanara for several days to pay her respects.

Ulanara ordered Jianqiu to visit Concubine Li every day.

That day, Jianqiu came to Qixiang Palace with the soup that Ulanara had given to Concubine Li.

"I am here on the orders of the Queen to see Lady Li.

This is the black chicken and astragalus nourishing soup given by the Queen Mother.

The imperial kitchen added a few more tonic herbs, all of which were for calming the nerves.

The queen said that you had a fright a few days ago and you should take good care of yourself."

Concubine Li drank the small bowl of soup in front of Jianqiu.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. When I feel better in two days, I will go to Jingren Palace to pay my respects to Queen Mother."

Jianqiu laughed.

"The Queen said that you don't have to worry and just take good care of it.

You do not have to rush to express your gratitude. I will convey your words to you.

The queen also said that it was inappropriate for Concubine Hua to assist in managing the six palaces, but..."

Jianqiu looked around in embarrassment, and Concubine Li understood and sent everyone out of the room.

"Aunt, please tell me, but how?"

Jianqiu Road.

“The Queen said that it was inappropriate for Concubine Hua to assist in managing the six palaces, but Concubine Hua was favored by the Emperor in the palace.

You have a good family outside the palace to rely on, the queen said, so you don't have to worry too much.

Your father, Lord Fei, the Minister of Public Administration, although he currently holds a low position,

But if you are favored by the emperor in the future, your family will naturally prosper as well.

By then, it won’t be too late for you to vent your anger today.”

Concubine Li's heart moved. Yes, the emperor had said this a few days ago, that he wanted to raise his own position.

If one becomes a concubine, his father from his natal family can naturally be promoted to a higher official rank, or even two levels higher.

Jianqiu observed Concubine Li's expression and seeing that she seemed moved, she continued.

"But in my opinion, if your family could help you in the previous dynasty, you would have been able to fight against Concubine Hua earlier."

Li Guiren said.

"My father is just a minister of government. How can he help me?"

Jianqiu suddenly said.

"Look at my poor memory. While I was talking to you, I actually forgot that the Queen wanted me to go to the Imperial Household Department to get something back."

After saying this, he hurriedly took his leave, leaving Concubine Li alone, staring out the door in a daze.

Just as Jianqiu left, a eunuch came in. It was Zhang Keying, the head eunuch of the Empress Dowager.

Zhang Keying came in and bowed respectfully to Concubine Li, saying.

"The Queen Mother heard that you were frightened, so she ordered me to bring you some tonic.

The Empress Dowager said, when you feel better, please come to the Cining Palace for a chat."

Concubine Li calmed herself down and replied politely.

"Please, Eunuch Zhang, report to the Empress Dowager. I will go to pay my respects to her tomorrow.

I am still not feeling well today, and I am afraid that going to the Cining Palace would spoil the mood of the Majesty."

After sending Zhang Keying away, Li Guiren wondered how she was going to explain this to the Empress Dowager.
