The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Nian Shilan felt a lot more relaxed since she stopped caring about the affairs of the harem.

She paid her respects to Ulanara every day, and then returned to Yiku Palace to accompany Hongli.

Recently, Ulanara no longer makes things difficult for her in words and deeds, and Nian Shilan is enjoying a leisurely life.

No one in Shen No longer had to follow Director Nian Shilan around, so she had a lot of free time.

She went out and in together with Zhen Changzai every day, but before they just drank tea and chatted together, now there was an additional person, An Da Ying.

Songzhi looked at the bag of monthly allowance in front of her and sneered at the eunuch who came to deliver the allowance.

"Usually there are two packs, why is there only one pack today?"

The young eunuch didn't dare to look at Songzhi, and lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"I don't know what Miss Songzhi is asking about. Why don't you ask Steward Huang? I am only responsible for delivering the monthly salary to Yikun Palace, and I don't know anything else."

Song Zhi said.

"Okay, you know nothing. Since you don't know, I'll go ask Huang Guiquan."

Nian Shilan was holding Hongli and playing with the parrot in the corridor. When she heard Songzhi's words, she turned around and said.

"Forget it, Songzhi, there's no need to embarrass him."

When the young eunuch heard what Nian Shilan said, she immediately thanked her and disappeared without waiting for Songzhi to speak again.

Songzhi showed the bag of silver to Nian Shilan.

"Master, usually there are two bags of silver, one large and one small. Now there is only this one bag.
It must be that Huang Guiquan saw that you were not in charge, so he neglected you."

Nian Shilan teased Hongli and said.

"That small package of silver every month was originally given out by Huang Guiquan for himself.

I don't know where he got the money from, and I don't care about that little bit of money anyway.

I used to accept the money from him just to make him feel at ease working for me.

If he doesn't accept it, he will inevitably feel suspicious and sometimes be hesitant to do things. "

Songzhi was very dissatisfied.

"That Huang Guiquan is a distant relative of yours, master. He relies on you and guards the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know how much money he has made.

Now that you have fallen out of favor, he has changed his attitude. This kind of person makes me angry!"

Nian Shilan suddenly smiled.

"You also said that he used to make a lot of money from me, so he had the courage to deceive his superiors and subordinates occasionally.

I want to get rid of him, but I can't do it because of our distant relatives.

It just so happens that this time, I don’t need to do anything, someone will naturally take care of him.

Why do you think he didn't take out the money this month? He must have given it to someone else.

He thought that the man would be able to make him the same as before after receiving the silver, but he was dreaming.

Songzhi suddenly realized.

"Master, what you mean is that Huang Guiquan went to curry favor with the Queen? Humph, the Queen may not tolerate him."

Huang Guiquan listened to the young eunuch's imitation and sighed helplessly.

"Oh my! What should I do? I really don't have much to offer.

There is only so much money in total, if I give it to one party, there will be nothing for the other party."

The young eunuch said.

"Master, a maid from Yikun Palace accidentally smashed a white jade vase today. Should we repair it according to the custom?"

Huang Guiquan glanced at the young eunuch and said quietly.

"Fool, we only have a pair of white jade vases in our warehouse and gave them to Yikun Palace. Now one of them has been smashed.
The pair of vases were useless. Where could I get a replacement?

Go to Yikun Palace tomorrow and bring back the broken bottle, so that Concubine Hua won't be an eyesore."

The young eunuch thought to himself that he had clearly seen many such white jade vases in the storehouse.

However, if the steward says no, then it's gone.

"Okay! I'll go right away!" After saying that, he ran away happily.

Songzhi took out the vase and when she was handing it to the young eunuch, her hand suddenly slipped.

The young eunuch quickly reached out to take it, but heard Songzhi exclaim "Oh!" and also hurriedly tried to take the vase.

The result was that neither of them caught the vase.

The vase fell to the ground and shattered, and the little eunuch fell flat on his face, landing at Songzhi's feet.

Songzhi screamed and dodged the eunuch who was rushing towards her, and "accidentally" stepped on the eunuch's hand.

Xiao Linzi was busy protecting Songzhi while shouting.

"How dare you! How dare you molest Sister Songzhi!"

The young eunuch, who was lying on the ground and crying loudly because of Songzhi's stepping, had not yet recovered from his shock when he saw Xiao Linzi throwing such a huge black pot at him.

He was so shocked that he didn't even care about the pain and jumped up from the ground.

"Eunuch Lin! Please don't wrongly accuse me! I fell down when I tried to catch the vase, and Miss Songzhi stepped on me!"

All the palace maids in Yikun Palace gathered around. Some protected Songzhi, some stood beside Xiao Linzi and glared at the young eunuch, and some stood aside and watched. But no one asked the young eunuch - did it hurt?
Songzhi said angrily.

"I say, eunuch, even if I accidentally dropped the vase, you can't take advantage of me!
You said it yourself, there is only one vase left, and it is already a broken vase. It’s not a big deal even if they are all smashed!

Anyway, you can’t use it after you take it back! Don’t you agree? "

Xiaoman was bringing some water over and immediately agreed.

"Yes. Sister Songzhi is right. Why are you taking advantage of Sister Songzhi?"

The young eunuch was so confused that he almost cried.

It was all the master's fault for sending him here to get the vase. Why did he offend Concubine Hua?
Nian Shilan was in the hall listening to the noise outside but ignored it.

It would be better to let Songzhi and Xiaolinzi give the Ministry of Internal Affairs a warning, so that those people would not think that they have fallen out of favor and come to bully her.

Xiao Linzi pretended to go into the palace to report to Concubine Hua, and the young eunuch was so scared that he walked while talking.

"Forget it, forget it. It's just my bad luck! I'll go back and tell Manager Huang that the other vase is broken too!

Don't bully me because I'm alone and weak. I can't afford to offend you, but I can always avoid you!"

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry. Xiao Linzi just scared him and let him go.

Songzhi ran back to the hall happily.

"Master, I just felt relieved for you! Who the hell is Huang Guiquan!
He even dared to send someone to take back the remaining vase.

He also said that there were no more in the warehouse and that this one left would not look good.

It can't be made up.

Humph, even if I smash it, I won’t take it back for him.

Who knows where he will use it to exchange for silver.

It's a bargain for others!"

Year of the Landau.

"Okay, that's it. Otherwise people will think I'm easy to bully."

Songzhi suddenly sighed and said.

"The emperor hasn't come to our place for a month, and you didn't go to see him.

You still have to think about the Fourth Prince~"

Nian Shilan finally raised her head from the storybook.

"What does my son have to do with him? I have money in my hands, and I don't live on this little monthly salary.

Your Majesty, if you want to come, then come. If you don’t want to come, I will be happy and carefree.”

Yinzhen waited for a month but Nian Shilan didn't say a word to him. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and came to Yikun Palace.

He didn't ask anyone to inform him because he just wanted to see what Nian Shilan was doing in Yikun Palace these days.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard these words and was instantly furious. (End of this chapter)
