The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

The little boy's head hit the ground with a bang.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your forgiveness! Thank you for your forgiveness!"

Yinzhen asked as he walked.

"Where is your young master? Why doesn't he come out to greet me?"

Xiao Yinzi knelt on the ground and continued to kowtow in the direction Yinzhen was walking.

"Your Majesty, our young master has just fallen asleep.
"The servant has passed on the message. I believe the young master has already gotten up!"

The palace maids in Guanju Tower who heard the noise had already knelt in the yard, shouting "Long live the king!"

Zhou Ninghai knelt at the door of Zhen Changzai's room and spoke.

"We didn't know the emperor was coming, and we servants failed to welcome him!
I will pass the message to the young master right away!"

Zhen Changzai had not fallen asleep in the first place, and had already turned over and stood up when she heard Xiao Yinzi's message.

But she ran to the mirror, looked at her face, and sat back on the bed in disappointment.

"Why did the Emperor come at this time? How can I face the Emperor like this?"

Huan Bi said.

"But my lady, the emperor has already arrived. It would be bad to let him wait in vain!"

Just at this moment Zhou Ninghai knocked on the door cautiously and spoke loudly through the door.

"The Emperor has arrived! Please come out and see him!"

Yinzhen walked along the way, with snow blown on his face by the wind. Now he was mostly sober.

Being treated poorly by Zhen Changzai in this small Guanju Tower, he suddenly became a little angry.

But he is the emperor and he cannot get angry over such a small matter.

Zhen Chang had no time to hesitate, so he opened the door and walked out slowly.

But Zhen Chang had already covered her face with a veil that Huanbi had prepared before going to bed.

Zhen Chang stood in front of Yinzhen in a casual goose yellow dress, with a white gauze scarf covering her face.

She lowered her head and bowed to Yinzhen to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know you were coming.

I did not go out to greet you, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

The anger that had just risen in Yinzhen quietly dissipated after he heard Zhen Changzai's gentle and beautiful voice.

"Get up. I was bored after drinking, so I walked here.

Why are you wearing a veil in the middle of the night?"

Yinzhen asked curiously as he walked into the room.

Zhen Changzai followed behind Yinzhen, keeping her head down.

"When the emperor asks questions, I dare not not answer.

The wine that the Queen enjoyed tonight was too mellow.

I drank a few more cups because I was greedy.
My face is flushed now, and I am afraid that the Emperor will laugh at me.

Then she hurriedly covered her face with a veil and went to see the emperor."

Yinzhen sat down, looked at Zhen Changzai who was standing in front of him, and smiled.

"It's not like I haven't seen a drunk woman before.

But since you are concerned about this,
I can't force you.
Wear the veil if you wish."

When Huanbi brought the tea, Su Peisheng beside her signaled her to leave.

Su Peisheng also quietly retreated, locking all the servants outside the door, leaving only Yinzhen and Zhen Changzai in the room.

The emperor's grace that Zhen Changzai had been waiting for for a long time was right before her eyes, but she did not dare to act rashly.

"Your Majesty has been traveling in the snow and wind. Please have a cup of hot tea to cool off."

Zhen Changzai carefully held the teacup and presented it to Yinzhen.

When Yinzhen took the teacup, he accidentally touched Zhen Changzai's white and tender fingers.

She nervously pulled her hand back.

Yinzhen took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Zhen Changzai tightly grasped her embroidered handkerchief in both hands and spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I long for your grace day and night.

How could I be afraid of the emperor? It's just that I have never slept with him.
I was a little nervous.”

Yinzhen laughed when he heard this.

"You are honest. Concubines are always nervous when they sleep with the emperor for the first time.

I think when you entered the palace, Nanny had already taught you how to sleep with the emperor."

Zhen Changzai took a deep breath and replied, "Mammy did teach me how to sleep with you, but...
I am not feeling well today, so I am afraid I am not lucky enough to serve Your Majesty."

As Zhen Chang spoke, her voice gradually became lower, and this time she really blushed with embarrassment.

Yinzhen moved a tea leaf floating on the water and pondered for a while.

"You have rejected me again and again.

I can't stay here with you.

So, I went back.

Wait until you feel refreshed before talking to me!"

After saying that, he put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up and walked out of the house.

Su Peisheng, who was waiting at the door to order water to serve the emperor, was startled by the sound of the door opening.

When he looked back, he saw that it was Yinzhen who came out by himself, followed by the bewildered Zhen Changzai.

"Your Majesty is sent off respectfully~"

Yinzhen said nothing, did not look back, and quickly returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Being rejected by a mere maid, Yinzhen's previously suppressed anger rose up again.

Su Peisheng didn't dare to ask more questions and just sighed in his heart.

On the second day, two pieces of news were spread in the harem at the same time.

First, Zhen Changzai actually refused to sleep with the emperor the night before.

Second, Zhen Changzai also had many red spots on her face.

When Ulanara was dressing up, she heard Jiang Fuhai say these two things and became confused.

"Oh? Isn't Concubine Zhen looking forward to the Emperor's coming every day?

Why is it that when the emperor left, she did not sleep with him? "

Jianqiu Road.

"Isn't it just perfect that Concubine Zhen doesn't want to sleep with me?

This will save you from having to share the Emperor's favor with another person in the future."

Ulanara looked at herself in the mirror and said.

“While that is true, I feel that there is something fishy about this matter.

So what about her face?"

Jiang Fukai Road.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Zhen's face is the same as Concubine Wan's.

Somehow, many red spots appeared overnight.

Zhen Chang was in Guanju Tower at this moment, looking extremely anxious.

But for some reason, she just refused to ask for a doctor.
It’s just that it’s not a good time to see a doctor in the first month of the year.

But didn't Lady Wan also invite the imperial physician?

Besides, getting sick doesn’t have to be chosen at any time.

In theory, the Imperial Hospital served the royal family.

They can hardly obey the royal order.

Just ask the imperial physician openly.

But Zhen Changzai stopped the palace maids from calling in the imperial physician.
I think there is something fishy about this matter.”

Ulanara frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked.

"You just said that Concubine Zhen has the same thing on her face as Concubine Wan?"

Jiang Fuhai replied.

"Yes, my lady. But I have only heard about it and have not seen it with my own eyes."

Ulanara urged Xiuxia and Huichun, who were doing their makeup, to hurry up, as she wanted to go to Guanju Tower to find out what was going on.

It was rare for Nian Shilan to get up early on a day when she didn't have to pay respects to the emperor, but she slept well at night.

Songzhi told Nian Shilan the same thing as Jiang Fuhai early in the morning, and Nian Shilan laughed.

"I thought Concubine Zhen was smart, but I didn't expect her to come up with such a poor excuse.

I don’t know whether the emperor believes it or not, but I definitely don’t believe it.

Let's go, I'll go see Concubine Zhen, and by the way, Concubine Wan."

Just as Nian Shilan was about to go out, she saw Cao Changzai coming towards her with a smile.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Hua, may the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness!"

Nian Shilan looked at Cao Changzai, who was no longer dressed in shabby clothes, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. (End of this chapter)
