The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 286 The Palace Maid Looks Familiar
Zhen Changzai rubbed his slightly swollen and painful temple and said to Huanbi.

"Huanbi, I can't rub this part by myself, please help me rub it."

Huanbi walked behind Zhen Changzai, pressed her fingertips on Zhen Changzai's temples, and gently relieved her discomfort while speaking.

"My lady has been feeling tired these days, why don't you ask another imperial physician to take a look?

I think that Doctor Qiu may have been bluffing because he saw that the young lady was not of high status."

Zhen Changzai felt her head felt much more comfortable after Huanbi's massage, so she said this.

"It's better to have less trouble than more. I am just an unpopular concubine now, so it is understandable that the imperial physician treats me poorly.

You just asked me why I wasn't angry when Lingrong reminded me of my relationship with Sister Mei.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about these things in detail before, but I always remember the friendship we had since childhood and don’t want to think about it too deeply.

Lingrong is an outsider, but she sees things more clearly than I do. So why should I be angry? I should thank Lingrong for giving me a heads up. "

Seeing that Concubine Zhen seemed to be much better, Huanbi slowly stopped massaging with her hands.

"I heard that the best Chinese medicine practitioner in the Imperial Hospital is Lord Wen Xianqing. Why don't I go and invite him to the young lady someday?"

Zhen Changzai smiled helplessly.

"Silly girl, you also said that he is the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital.

How could someone of my status easily invite him?
Just keep it like this and we just need to pay more attention to it.

By the way, is the oil in your hair almost gone?
Let Liu Zhu go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some."

Liu Zhu was gone for half a day and came back with a pout on her face.

Zhou Ninghai was taking a nap in the corridor. He opened his eyes when he heard the hurried footsteps.

He saw that it was Liu Zhu and said with a smile.

"Miss Liu Zhu, what's wrong? Who provoked you?"

Liu Zhu said angrily.

"Hmph! Those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs look down on others! I thought the emperor had punished Huang Guiquan.

I could have replaced the steward under me, but I didn't expect that the new steward, Liu Changfeng, was actually a snobbish guy.

He said that the things in our palace have not been used up yet, so we can come and get them when they are used up!

How can you bully people like this! Wait for me to report to the young lady, and then I will go back to report to the Queen!

Let the Empress punish those servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Liu Zhu couldn't help but raise her voice while speaking, and Zhou Ninghai quickly put his finger to his mouth, making a gesture of silence.

In his heart, he found Liu Zhu's words ridiculous, but on his face he looked indignant.

"Oh! This is absolutely wrong! But Aunt Liuzhu, please keep your voice down!

The young master is recovering from illness now. I don’t know how upset she must be to hear these words.”

The weather has been getting hot recently, and the windows of the house where Zhen Chang lives were originally open.

Zhen Changzai heard every word Liu Zhu said just now, but she pretended not to hear it.

Liu Zhu held back the rest of her words, but she felt extremely upset, so she couldn't help but mutter to Zhou Ninghai.

"You don't know, if it was just that I didn't get the things back, it would be fine. What's hateful is that Li Guiren's maid Peihong!

She is obviously a slave, but she is still sarcastic and sarcastic to me! Who is she? My mistress is just a noble lady!
When our young lady wins the emperor's favor, she will be left with no place to stand!"

Huanbi looked at Zhen Changzai's expression, which became increasingly gloomy as Liuzhu's words became more serious, so she hurried to the outer room and spoke to Liuzhu.

"Well, if you don't get it, then you don't get it. You can go get it again after you use it up in a few days.

If that doesn't work, just take the empty box. I don't believe that Liu Changfeng would dare to blatantly withhold the expenses of the harem.

Don't let yourself get hurt by this, and also make the young lady angry!"

This scene in Xianfu Palace was taught to Nian Shilan by Xiao Linzi that night. Nian Shilan smiled. This was just the beginning.

She was curious. In her previous life, Zhen Huan dared to confront her, the "favored concubine", directly since she entered the palace. Why was she so tolerant in this life?

Is it just because she is not favored?

Nian Shilan wanted to see how Zhen Huan could still be favored after all the preparations she had made.

Songzhi brought a bowl of blood bird's nest and was going to serve it to Nian Shilan.

She watched Nian Shilan use the bird's nest before speaking.

"Master, there is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not."

Year of the Landau.

"If you think it's inappropriate to say it, then don't say it. I have always told you that in my place, if you have something to say, just say it.

Where did you learn these pretentious words? I hate it most when you say something or not."

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Songzhi's face, but she quickly adjusted herself and said.

"Yes, the master taught me that, and I remember it. Then I will speak frankly.

The few times the Emperor came to our place, I looked at the new maid, Fuzi.
She always appears in front of the emperor intentionally or unintentionally.

I am worried that she is the one given to you by the Queen, and she might be up to something bad."

Nian Shilan looked at the sky and it was already getting dark.

"I know that the Queen stuffed such a delicate and fair maid into the Yikun Palace.

But it's not just about serving me as she said.

It doesn't matter, since she intends to disgust me, I will just go along with her."

Songzhi immediately understood Nian Shilan's plan.

"what do you mean?"

Nian Shilan sneered, nodded and said.

"You are getting smarter now. That's right, the queen wanted to disgust me, so she specially sent a pretty maid to me.

She thought I would be extremely jealous, and would torture Fuzi even if it meant sacrificing his life.

At that time, she will take the opportunity to sue me in front of the emperor.

But, I just don't want her to be happy. I guess the emperor has seen Fuzi in Jingren Palace.

Now that she's been brought to my place, I'll be magnanimous and treat her like a mistress.

It just depends on whether she is willing to accept this overwhelming wealth. "

Song Zhi said.

"But I don't understand. Master, isn't this the same as finding someone to share your favor?"

Nian Shilan thought about Yinzhen's favor to her in this life and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The things I once dreamed of are now right in front of me, and I realize that they are not worth much.

"If she can share my favor, let her do it. This will save the women in the harem from staring at me and calculating all day long."

So when Yinzhen went to Yiku Palace again, it was Fuzi who served him tea.

Yinzhen took the teacup from Fuzi and asked Nian Shilan curiously.

"I think this palace girl looks familiar, I seem to have seen her somewhere before."

Nian Shilan chuckled and covered her lips with her hands. Her eyes were full of charm and she looked at Yinzhen coquettishly and angrily and said.

"Your Majesty, what you said sounds very similar to what I read in the storybooks, where a playboy flirts with decent girls on the street.

This child was given to me by the Empress. The Emperor must have seen her in the Empress' Jingren Palace. Why bother beating around the bush with me?"
