The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 295: Another Palace and Separate Residence
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi's blushing face and thought about how in her previous life she had promoted Songzhi as her concubine in order to consolidate her favor.

But he buried her best years along with himself in the palace.

In this life, she wants to find a good family for Songzhi and marry her off in a grand manner.

Songzhi saw Nian Shilan looking at her without saying anything, and couldn't help but touch her cheek.

"Why are you looking at me like this, madam? Is there something on my face?"

Nian Shilan shook her head, then nodded and smiled.

"You do have something on your face."

Songzhi hurriedly took the silk handkerchief embroidered with bamboo leaves in her hand and wiped her face, while anxiously asking Lidong beside her.

"Look quickly, there is something dirty on my face. It is disrespectful to serve the Empress."

Lidong looked at Songzhi wiping her face blankly and said.

"Sister Songzhi has nothing on her face."

Nian Shilan burst out laughing, pulled Songzhi's hand in a reproachful manner and said.

"If you say you are not smart, then you are really stupid. There is something on your face, but that something is your beauty!

You've become more and more beautiful in the past few years that you've been with me.

When I come to the Japanese palace and find you a husband of your dreams, your beauty will be put to good use.”

Lidong looked at Songzhi enviously and said.

"The master is so kind to Sister Songzhi."

Year of the Landau.

"If you serve me wholeheartedly, I will prepare a dowry for you and marry you off to a handsome man, just like Songzhi did."

Lidong blushed when she thought about the future.

The master and his servants were having a great time in the palace.

Fuzi was not on duty today, but when she returned to her room on the day of Lidong, she was filled with envy when she heard her mother telling the servants who lived with her about the kindness of Concubine Hua.

But Fuzi thought that if she married a "dream husband", he would just be a guard or a servant of some family, which was far less comfortable than being a lady in the palace.

Fuzi is waiting for an opportunity.

Concubine Duan sat in the palace, opened the window and looked outside. The square courtyard was extremely boring.

She looked at the book in her hand again. It was "Women's Training" which she had placed on the desk at some point in time.

Concubine Duan casually handed the book to Jixiang and asked her to put it away.

Auspicious road.

"My Lady, the Fourth Prince is already nine months old. Tell me what Concubine Hua said that day."

Concubine Duan knew what Jixiang was talking about, it was Nian Shilan's words that hinted at the Ulanara family.

It's just that I don't have any evidence.
Concubine Duan now doesn’t even know who she should hate.

Whenever Yinzhen came to Concubine Duan's palace, he would only praise her for her dignity and manners.

In this palace, Concubine Hua is always the most outstanding one.

I really don’t know why the Emperor likes Concubine Hua so much.

And Concubine Duan's question was also the question lingering in Zhen Changzai's mind.

Zhen Chang sat opposite Concubine Shen on this day. Her right arm could already move on its own, but she could not make large movements yet.

Zhen Changzai was playing chess with Shen Guiren. The black and white chess pieces made of jade fell one by one on the chessboard carved from a whole piece of Lantian jade. The sound was very pleasant to the ears.

Lady Shen was holding the white chess piece. She held the piece between her sparkling fingertips, thinking carefully about where it should be placed.

Zhen Changzai looked at Concubine Shen who was deep in thought with amusement and said.

"Sister Mei can also be stumped sometimes."

Lady Shen said as she pondered the chess game in front of her.

"Don't be so proud now, I will kill you without a single piece of armor left."

Zhen Changzai took the tea handed to her by Liu Zhu and said with a smile.

"Well, sister, just think about it. I have been playing chess for so long, I need to moisten my throat.

Sister, try my tea and see if you can get used to it?"

Shen Guiren smiled and picked up the teacup, scolding Zhen Changzai. "Look at how sarcastic you are, you are really petty.

Why can't I get used to your tea? It's all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

But after taking a sip, Concubine Shen frowned.

"Why is your tea so bitter? It tastes like the coarse tea that servants drink."

Zhen Chang said with a mischievous smile.

"Sister, do you still say you can get used to drinking now?"

Concubine Shen put down the teacup and said.

"Tell me, is this what the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave you according to the quota?"

Zhen Chang sighed at this point.

"Sister, you know that in the past I distributed tea according to quotas.

Now I heard that the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been replaced, and he is treating us and Lingrong, the unfavored concubines,
Almost everything that could be deducted was deducted.

In this way, I miss Huang Guiquan a little.

He doesn't look down on women who are not favored by him, he looks down on any woman. "

Concubine Shen was amused by Concubine Zhen's words and couldn't help but say.

"You are such a difficult person to please. So, Liu Changfeng actually withheld the tea?"

Zhen Chang is on the road.

"To be honest, ever since I broke my arm, my courtyard has been lacking things all day long.

Today the rouge was withheld, and tomorrow the allowance will be withheld.

People like me, like Lingrong, have no choice but to endure it.

It is hard for me, my servant, to follow such a poor master as me.

I guess he often can't hold his head up in front of other servants."

Shen Guiren said.

"Don't make fun of me. The share of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is distributed by Concubine Hua in person every month. How dare Liu Changfeng be so bold?"

Zhen Changzai noticed that Concubine Shen's words were increasingly defending Concubine Hua, so she just smiled and said.

"You and I have never said anything and done anything since we were little.

I didn’t expect that after less than a year in the palace, my sister doesn’t believe me anymore.”

Concubine Shen was stunned for a moment, and she also realized what she had said to defend Concubine Hua.

Forget it. Huan'er doesn't have much contact with Concubine Hua. No matter what I say, Huan'er may not believe it.

When Huan'er's arm heals, I must take her to see Concubine Hua.

Lady Shen thought so, but the tea was indeed rough and hard to swallow, so she ordered someone to go to her Cunju Hall and get half a pound of the best Phoenix Dancong tea.

"I got this tea by chance, and I have never been willing to drink it. Now I give it all to you, so you can drink it.

I will report the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs withholding things to Concubine Hua and see how she handles it."

When Nian Shilan heard that the Imperial Household Department had withheld the young lady's share, she originally planned to investigate it thoroughly. However, when she heard that it was Concubine Zhen who withheld the money, the matter disappeared without a trace.

Liu Changfeng became more and more bold.

It’s a pity that Zhen Changzai is still waiting for Shen Guiren to stand up for her, but after waiting for a long time, no news comes out.

Zhen Chang couldn't help but have some doubts about this matter in his heart.

Since that day when Concubine Shen had tea with Concubine Zhen, she has been busy following behind Nian Shilan all day long.

Every night, as soon as I touch the pillow, I fall asleep.

An promised to go to Xianfu Palace every day to keep Zhen Changzai company as usual. One day, she brought a piece of news.

Zhen Chang said doubtfully.

"Sister An, are you saying that the Emperor intends to let Concubine Jing live alone in Xianfu Palace?"

An agreed with a smile.

"Yes, I heard that the emperor saw that Princess Kangle was growing up and was worried that Xianfu Palace would be too crowded.

The Emperor intends to let sister and Concubine Shen live in a separate palace, but I don’t know where the Emperor will arrange you to live.”
