The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 291 A false alarm

When Concubine Li saw that Concubine Fucha had misinterpreted her words in a way that implied treason, she was horrified and pointed at Concubine Fucha.

"How dare you slander me!"

Concubine Li knelt down in front of Ulanara again.

"Your Majesty, please understand! I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting the Emperor. I was just arguing with Noble Lady Fucha!"

Nian Shilan was watching the fun with great interest. It seemed as if noble lady Fucha had suddenly grown a brain and her words were full of inspiration.

Ulanara was in a great trouble. It was clearly just two concubines jealous of each other, but as time went on, things became out of place.

After listening for half a day, she finally spoke.

"Alright! Be quiet, everyone. I've said before that it doesn't matter what you sisters learn, as long as you can make His Majesty happy.

Sister Fucha is learning the steps of the ladies from the pre-Qin period for the amusement of the emperor, and sister Li can also learn it when she has time in the future.

You should learn more from the calmness and self-restraint of Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen, who never compete for rain and dew.

Besides, the one who benefits the most in the palace is Concubine Hua's sister.

You guys made a fuss over such a small matter, and if it gets out, the servants will laugh at you for being petty.

We are all in the same palace, so we should be harmonious. Okay, help your little lady up.

He kneels all the time, not afraid of hurting his knees."

When Li Guiren's maid Peihong heard the Queen's order, she hurriedly helped Li Guiren up.

Nian Shilan had been criticized many times by Ulanara, both openly and secretly, and she had always looked indifferent.

This caused Concubine Duan to look at Nian Shilan several times.

Nian Shilan inadvertently met Concubine Duan's inquiring eyes and suddenly smiled brightly. Concubine Duan was frightened and felt guilty, so she quickly shifted her gaze.

When Concubine Li walked out of Jingren Palace, she looked at Concubine Fucha's back as she walked away with a twisted look, and was filled with hatred.

When Concubine Duan passed by Noble Lady Li, she saw that she was staring at Noble Lady Fucha's receding back and gritting her teeth, and she was unaware that Concubine Duan was approaching her.

Concubine Duan said casually as she walked.

"Alas, in our palace, Concubine Hua is the most favored after all."

Concubine Duan walked away, but the words she left behind woke up Concubine Li.

Yes, they only get to sleep with the emperor once in a long time, but Concubine Hua can see the emperor once every two or three days.

But Concubine Li changed her mind and realized that Concubine Hua had a high position, a good family background, and the Empress Dowager was backing her up.

It is still easier to deal with Noble Lady Fucha.

The third prince was already four years old, and Ulanara was not satisfied with teaching him in the palace.

In addition to hiring a teacher to teach him during the day, the little Third Prince would also have to recite some homework at night before he was allowed to return to his residence to rest.

The four-year-old Third Prince didn’t understand why the Empress Dowager was so strict with him. He was just very envious of the Fourth Prince and Princess Kangle, who had been raised by Concubine Jing.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival that day, and the Third Prince got up early to review his lessons as usual. When the teacher taught him new words and sentences, he began to recite them with his head shaking.

The servants following the Third Prince were all very happy to hear him reciting.

The Queen Mother said that if the Third Prince's studies were delayed, they would not be able to escape responsibility.

Fortunately, the third prince is very capable and smarter than other children of his age and learns things quickly.

Yinzhen couldn't help but frown when he heard Su Peisheng report on the third prince's recent academic performance.

"Hongshi is only four years old, yet the Queen is willing to be so strict with him. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Go to the prince's place and bring Hongshi here.

Just as I said, there is no need to review today. Children should also have their own fun.

It is a rare day for the sons and daughters of princes and ministers to enter the palace, so let Hongshi have some fun with them."

Su Peisheng responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise. But the Empress also has good intentions. She probably wants the Third Prince to learn more."

Yinzhen said.

"If you are too impatient to achieve success, you will inevitably end up forcing things to happen, which is really unacceptable.

It won’t take just one or two days to learn anything. Just go and bring Hongshi over.

I haven't seen Hongshi for several days." When Su Peisheng carried the third prince to the palace banquet, all the princes, nobles, and concubines were already seated.

Su Peisheng put the Third Prince down, and the little guy walked steadily to the main hall, lifted his robe and knelt down according to palace etiquette.

A loud and babyish voice.

"Your Highness pays respects to His Majesty, long live His Majesty!

Your son pays respects to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Ulanara nodded with satisfaction, looking at the little person kneeling in front of her, her face full of love.

Yinzhen also liked the third prince's sensible and well-behaved appearance, and his face was full of smiles.

"Stand up. You are still so young. Are you tired after coming all the way from my brother's residence?"

The Third Prince stood up, smoothed his clothes with his chubby little hands, and bowed.

"Reporting to the Emperor's question, I am not tired. I see that the Emperor and the Empress are not tired at all."

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing at the serious look on Third Prince's face.

"Okay, okay, I'm not tired. Come, come to the emperor."

The little Third Prince walked up the steps and stood beside Yinzhen.

That was the first time he felt the feeling of standing on a high place and overlooking the world, but he couldn't express it and just felt shocked.

The Third Prince looked at the people sitting below and blurted out.

"Father, the view from here is very clear. I want to sit here."

The hall was already quiet as everyone was waiting for Yinzhen to start the banquet. When the Third Prince said this, one could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Ulanara was shocked and quickly scolded in a low voice.

"Hongshi is not allowed to talk nonsense."

The Third Prince didn't understand why the Empress Dowager, who had such a kind face just now, suddenly changed her expression and looked a little fierce.

Yinzhen held the Third Prince in his arms, stroked his head, and said with a smile.

"Why does Hongshi want to sit here? Is it because he can see clearly below?"

The Third Prince nodded ignorantly and replied.

“Yes, because it’s high here.”

Yinzhen caressed the Third Prince's chubby little arm lovingly, patted his arm and said.

"Okay, then Hongshi will try his best to stand high in the future."

Su Peisheng's heart also settled down, it seemed like it was just a false alarm.

It's just the words of a child.

Halfway through the banquet, the children could no longer sit still, and Yinzhen was also half drunk, so he waved his hand.

"Su Peisheng, tell the servants to watch them carefully while they play in the side hall, so they don't get too hot."

With the permission of Ulanara, the third prince happily went to play among the children of princes and nobles.

Princess Kangle snuggled up to Concubine Jing and was unwilling to go out, but she saw a young lady dressed as a young lady in the crowd waving at her.

Seeing this, Concubine Jing touched Kang Le's hair lovingly. There was a lively butterfly pinned on Kang Le's hair. As Kang Le turned around, the butterfly flapped its wings as if it was real.

Jingpin said.

"Kang Le, why don't you go and play with that lady for a while? Look, she has been waving at you for a long time."

Kang Le nodded obediently and said.

"Kang Le listens to my mother."

When Kang Le followed the waving young lady out of Jingpin's sight, Jingpin felt as if there was suddenly a void in her heart.

She shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. She was used to being inseparable from her daughter. Now she was just letting her play with other children of the same age for a while, but she was actually worried and anxious.

The Fourth Prince was still young, and seeing that she had been taking him out for too long, Nian Shilan asked Xiao Linzi to take the wet nurse and send the Fourth Prince back to Yikun Palace.

But Nian Shilan didn't expect that a group of children could cause such a big trouble and almost hurt her Hongli.
