The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 349: A Lively Event
Su Peisheng, who was standing aside, listened to Nian Shilan talking, his eyebrows twitching.

What on earth is Concubine Hua singing about?
Other concubines all wish the emperor would revolve around them every day, but Concubine Hua is different. She encourages the emperor to visit other people instead?

There was a probing look in Yinzhen's eyes, and the young emperor couldn't understand what the woman was thinking.

The women in the harem have always been competing secretly over who they should go to at night or who they should summon for sex.

But this fox suddenly made the excuse that she was weak after giving birth and asked him to find someone else?

Even the Queen was looking forward to his visit to her Jingren Palace, but this fox mentioned that there was a woman in the palace who had entered but had not yet slept with him.

That figure appeared in Yinzhen's mind. The one who had not yet slept with him was Concubine Zhen, right?
But for a moment, Yinzhen felt that Zhen Changzai was still gentle and charming, but she was somewhat inferior to Concubine Wan.

Yinzhen held Nian Shilan's hand tighter and looked into her eyes with a smile. He approached Nian Shilan, regardless of anything else, put his hand around the back of her neck, and said.

"Shilan is really generous. So tell me, who do you want me to go to?"

The Yinzhen reflected in Nian Shilan's eyes had a younger and more handsome face than in the previous life, but the oppressiveness he exuded was not as strong as in the previous life.

Yes, in this life, after all, Yinzhen had just come of age. Compared to the throne he had obtained through hard fighting in the previous life, the throne in this life seemed much easier to come by.

Having not experienced the many schemes in her previous life, Yinzhen was not so wary of Nian Shilan in this life.

Nian Shilan's face broke into a huge smile as she giggled.

"Your Majesty hurts me~ How can I bear to see you go to someone else? I am so jealous~"

Yinzhen released his grip on Nian Shilan's wrist and sneered.

"Are you still jealous? When we were in the palace, I would have believed you if you said this.

Now that I have lived in the palace for so long, I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand you."

Just as Nian Shilan was about to say something, Xiao Xiazi came running over.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is here and she wants to see you for something."

Nian Shilan swallowed what she was about to say, stood up, and bowed to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, since the Empress has something to report, I will take my leave first."

As she was about to step back, Yinzhen grabbed her arm.

"You are not allowed to leave. What the Queen wants to talk about is nothing more than the affairs of the harem.
You help the Queen manage the six palaces, and there is nothing you cannot hear.

I still have something to say to you, so you stay here."

So when Ulanara entered the west warm pavilion, she saw Nian Shilan standing aside with a proper look on her face.

After Ulanara paid her respects to Yinzhen, Nian Shilan also paid her respects to Ulanara before sitting down.

Yinzhen saw clearly that Ulanara was hesitant to speak, but he pretended not to see it.

Sure enough, Ulanara turned around and smiled at Nian Shilan.

"I didn't know that Sister Hua Fei was here, and I ruined the mood of His Majesty and Sister Hua Fei."

Nian Shilan lowered his head respectfully, and his tone was extremely submissive.

"It is I who disturbed the Emperor and the Empress. I heard that the Empress had something to ask the Emperor.
I wanted to go back to Yikun Palace first, but the Emperor said that I should help His Majesty to manage the six palaces.

There is nothing that I cannot bear to hear, so I have no choice but to obey your wishes and stay here for a while.

If it is inconvenient for Her Majesty to speak because I am here, then I will take my leave first."

Nian Shilan's words seemed to be respectful, but in fact, she was telling Ulanara that it was the emperor who asked me to stay here, and if you drive me away, it would be against the emperor's will. Ulanara naturally understood, and her attitude was very generous.

"You are too modest, Concubine Hua. Since the Emperor has ordered you to stay, how can I let you go?
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and no one should disobey the Son of Heaven's will."

Yinzhen just looked at his wife and concubine coldly as they spoke witty words, and he quietly turned the ring on his hand.

Su Peisheng was secretly anxious on the side, Oh, my ancestors, why can't you be quiet in front of the emperor!
Yinzhen finally coughed lightly and said to Ulanara.

"The Queen just asked to see me, saying she had something to report. What is it?

Shilan is not an outsider, the Queen can speak frankly if she has anything to say."

Ulanara smiled.

"In reply to the emperor's question, I have nothing important to do today. It's just that the New Year is coming soon.

This year is the fourth year since the Emperor ascended the throne. It is also the first year of reunion after the mourning period for the late Emperor.

I have come specially to ask the emperor for his advice, whether we should make the celebration more lively this year?

But if we want to make it more lively, we will inevitably spend more money.
I dare not squander it at will, so please let the emperor know."

Yinzhen looked at Ulanara's clothes, which were neither new nor old. The material was the Lingyun brocade that was popular last year. The jewelry on her head also looked old, as if he had made it for her after he ascended the throne.

Then he looked at Nian Shilan who was sitting on the other side. She was wearing a new dress made of Sichuan brocade, her hair was adorned with fresh and beautiful kingfisher feather jewelry, and her hair was also a new style that he had never seen before.

Yinzhen suddenly became angry. How could such a good queen treat him so badly?

Yinzhen spoke coldly.

"The Queen has made a good plan. This year we should celebrate it in a more lively way. I have been mourning for the late Emperor for the past few years.

The people in the harem also live frugally with me. After all, the harem is full of beautiful women.

You don't have to be too frugal in your daily dressing, or you'll look shabby.

I remember that all the good things that were offered as tribute in the past two years were sent to Jingren Palace for the Queen to choose first.

The queen is still wearing her old clothes and jewelry, which shows that her servants are not serving her well enough."

Before Ulanara came, she specially picked out her clothes and jewelry for the day, wanting to act like a good housewife, but she made Yinzhen unhappy, which she never expected.

She held her breath, suppressed her doubts, and spoke humbly.

"Your Majesty has wrongly blamed us servants. It is I who do not like to buy new clothes and jewelry.
Therefore, it has always been the same as before. I think Hua Fei has reviewed the monthly expenses of the harem.

I think that since the national treasury is not rich enough, it would be good to save some money.

So even though my clothes were a little shabby, I was never treated harshly by the other sisters.

The fabrics I gave to other sisters were also fashionable fabrics."

Yinzhen suppressed his anger and continued speaking coldly.

"The Queen is respectful and self-disciplined, and is a model for the mother of the country. If the Queen has nothing else to do, then please do as I say.

It must be done in a lively manner so that the harem can have some fun.

If you have any tedious matters, ask Shilan and Shen Guiren to help you out."

Ulanara calmed herself down and smiled.

"I have something else to say, but Sister Hua Fei is here, and I am afraid that if I tell her, she will be jealous."
