The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 373: Summoning An
After saying this, Concubine Shen could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart, and buried her head and sobbed.

Just then Yinzhen remembered that he hadn't seen Concubine Shen for some time, so he walked over to Concubine Shen's residence.

Yinzhen hid his hands in his warm sleeves and did not ask anyone to inform him.

Su Peisheng lifted the curtain and invited Yinzhen into Concubine Shen's room.

Inside the room, Caiyue was patting Concubine Shen's back, comforting her softly and helping her calm down.

When he turned around, Yinzhen was already in front of him.

Caiyue was so scared that she stammered.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Caiyue fell to her knees with a plop.

Concubine Shen buried her head and sobbed. When she heard Caiyue talking about the emperor, she thought that Caiyue was going to bring up the emperor to comfort her.

Concubine Shen seemed a little resentful.

"So what if it's the Emperor?! Huan'er has not been favored by the Emperor yet, but she blames me for being favored by the Emperor!

If this favor will cause us sisters to be alienated, I would rather the emperor not favor me!"

Concubine Shen buried her head and talked to herself. Su Peisheng behind Yinzhen was shocked and coughed twice.

Because Su Peisheng is a man, his voice is naturally different from that of women like Caiyue.

Lady Shen heard two light coughs from a man and then realized there was someone in the room.

She looked up with tearful eyes, and saw a bright yellow figure in front of her.

Before she could see more clearly, the bright yellow figure sat down opposite her.

"What's wrong? You're crying so hard."

Concubine Shen wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, stood up, and knelt down in front of Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't know you were coming, and I failed to greet you."

Yinzhen sat still, quietly looking at the master and servant kneeling in front of him, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Yinzhen said.

"Get up. When I arrived, I saw the magnificent scene of pear blossoms in the rain. Your eyes are red.
But who has wronged you? Tell me about it."

Su Peisheng glanced at Caiyue, who then hurriedly got up tremblingly and helped Concubine Shen up.

Concubine Shen was filled with grievances and dissatisfaction, and was so scared when she saw clearly that it was the emperor that she was thrown to Java.

It's just that Lady Shen, who came from a noble family, had some forced calmness on her part.

She calmed herself down and said.

"Your Majesty, I am fine. I just miss my family."

Yinzhen tapped the table unintentionally with his fingers as he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who had stopped crying.

Eyes cut off autumn water, fingers peel spring onions.

Lady Shen is the daughter of the Jeju commander, but she looks like a gentle girl from the south of the Yangtze River.

Yinzhen liked her gentle and polite appearance, but it was the first time he saw her speaking with resentment when she was off guard.

Yinzhen smiled, softened his facial expression, and spoke with a rare gentleness in his tone.

"I remember that you have never been a person who would lie.

Look, her eyes are red and her face is red from crying.

When I came, you were complaining about me by pointing at my name.

I don’t know how I made you angry.”

When Concubine Shen heard Yinzhen say this, her heart began to beat again and she became uneasy.

After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up the courage and spoke.

"Your Majesty is wise, I just had a few words with Sister Huan."

Yinzhen said patiently, smiling.

"Oh? You were arguing with your sister Huan, but why did you mention me?"

Concubine Shen was speechless and opened her mouth. What should she say?

It was said that Sister Huan was jealous of her favor and the two of them had an argument?

Or did I say that Sister Huan was petty and irritated her? Shen Guiren thought for a moment and said.

"Your Majesty, I mentioned you to Sister Huan because you have admired me for a long time.

I know that ladies from noble families shouldn't speak so openly, but Sister Huan has been in the palace for more than a year.
She has never had the chance to be close to the emperor. She is truly a pearl in the dust. I feel sorry for her~"

Yinzhen found it even funnier.

He was clearly blaming that "Sister Huan" just now, but now he was speaking for her in front of him.

"Is your sister Huan the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the one who is often ill?"

Lady Shen nodded.

"That's right. Sister Huan is more talented than Xie Daoyun. She is as beautiful as the bright moon, and her piano playing is even more wonderful.

If the emperor appreciates me, I won't be disappointed~"

Yinzhen said.

"You've mentioned so many good things about her. It seems like I can't help but see her."

When Yinzhen returned to the Yangxin Palace, after dinner the chief steward of the Jingshifang came with a sign with the ranks of the concubines.

"Your Majesty, please turn over the cards~"

The chief steward of the Jingshifang knelt in front of Yinzhen, his hand wandering among the numerous signs on the tray.

Yinzhen thought of what Concubine Shen had said during the day and laughed at himself.

Do I look like I'm easy to fool?
Yinzhen's hand swept across Zhen Changzai's sleeping card and stopped at An Da Ying.

When the news reached the Yanxi Palace, An Da Ying couldn't believe it.

Even after the eunuch who announced the decree left, she kept confirming with Baojuan what she had heard.

Baojuan was very happy and said with great pride.

"Congratulations, young lady! Congratulations, young lady! The emperor turned over your card tonight!
I will prepare it for you right away! The Fengluan Chunen Car will come to pick you up in a moment!"

An agreed with a blushing face and cried with joy.

"Baojuan, I have finally waited for this day! I thought,
After what happened last time, the emperor will never think of me again!
I thought I was going to die of old age in the palace!
I never thought this day would come!”

Baojuan was busy shouting and mobilizing all the servants in Xinyinwu.

Baoque was choosing clothes for An, and Baojuan was busy redoing her makeup.

The other two young palace maids in the room were busy using spices to fumigate the clothes that Baoque had found.

Baojuan combed her hair for An's sake, undid her usual bun and changed it to a fashionable style.

"My lady, look, you look even more beautiful dressed up!
Not to mention that the emperor will like it, even I, the servant, like it very much!"

An agreed, blushing, and scolded him lightly.

"Don't be silly! By the way, I was supposed to be with Sister Zhen.

It would be impossible to prepare her favorite spices tonight.

Go tell Sister Zhen later, and I will work with her on the recipe tomorrow."

Baojuan laughed.

"My lord and Miss Zhen have such a good relationship. At such an important moment, you didn't forget to say hello to Miss Zhen.

However, I advise you to stay away from Miss Zhen for the next two days."

An agreed and looked in the mirror, feeling very different from usual, and he was delighted.

She didn't find anything unusual in Baojuan's words. She put a jade hairpin on herself and asked casually.

"Why?"

Baojuan put on the last butterfly hairpin for An Agree, and admired the makeup she had done, saying.

"My young lady went to the Queen's place during the day, so you don't know yet?

Lady Zhen had an argument with Lady Shen, then returned to her Guanju Tower and locked herself up.

It looks like he's sulking!
At this time, you were summoned by the Emperor.

I am afraid that Miss Zhen will be suspicious and vent her anger towards Lady Shen.

It's really unfair to you!"
