The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 404 Return victorious
It was almost the end of the first month of the lunar year, and Yinzhen walked to the Imperial Garden after the morning court session.

In early February, the Imperial Garden had shed the bleakness of winter, and a spring water introduced from outside the palace had been flowing and formed a lake.

The lake water shimmers in the warm sunshine of early spring.

A clear and melodious singing voice came from the lake, which sounded like a Jiangnan tune.

Yinzhen slowed down and listened carefully to the sound.

When the song suddenly came to his ears, he remembered the time when Yunxi was around and she always danced and sang when she was with him.

But now it seems like I haven’t thought about Yunxi for some time.

The singing paused and changed the tune.

Yinzhen stopped and listened carefully to the words being sung in a melodious voice.

"The overlapping hills are shining with gold, and the clouds in my hair are about to cover my fragrant cheeks with snow.

Lazy to draw eyebrows, make up and freshen up late.

Looking at the flowers in the mirror, the flowers are reflected in each other.
Newly embroidered silk blouse, with two golden partridges. "

After the song was finished, the sound went off.

Yinzhen took a few quick steps to see who was singing.

Unexpectedly, Ulanara's laughter was heard.

"Okay, okay, An Chang has a beautiful singing voice.

It's like the sound of nature, I like it very much."

It turned out to be An Changzai. Yinzhen thought that he had heard An Changzai singing before, but not as moving as today.

Yinzhen listened to the voice of An Changzai.

"Thank you, Queen, for your love. I originally wanted to practice my singing today.
I was also afraid of disturbing Sister Zhen's peace in the Yanxi Palace.

I had no choice but to come to this imperial garden, and I thought,

As it's still cold today, there shouldn't be many people walking around.

But I don’t want to run into the Queen~"

Ulanara took An Changzai's hand and spoke with sympathy.

"You always think about others like this.

I think your singing voice is very good.

If the emperor could hear it, he would probably like it.

As long as the emperor likes it, I will be at ease.

Look at you, you are wearing so little, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Peace is always in the Tao.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I feel fine.

I'll just go back and warm myself by the heater for a while.

I am a humble concubine, how can I be liked by the emperor?
It is a great blessing for me to have the Emperor's favor by chance."

Yinzhen clapped his hands and walked out from where he was standing.

When Ulanara and An Changyi saw that the visitor was Yinzhen, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"I have seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."

It was rare for Yinzhen to personally help Ulanara in front of everyone.

He smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Ulanara, who smiled knowingly and placed her hand in Yinzhen's palm.

He stood up with the help of Yinzhen's arm.

Yinzhen said.

"Get up. I am very pleased that the Queen is thinking of me."

Ulanara was very gentle and considerate.

“The Emperor is busy with government affairs and many things to do in the court, so naturally he can’t take care of the harem.

I am the queen, and it is my responsibility to share the emperor's worries on these small matters.

I was just thinking that An Chang had a beautiful singing voice.

It’s a pity that the emperor can’t hear it for the time being.

I didn't expect that I would meet the emperor here by chance."

Yinzhen took Ulanara's hand, patted it gently, and sighed.

"I haven't heard such beautiful singing for a long time.
Listening with my eyes closed, it seemed as if Chunyuan was still there.

The Queen has taken great pains to make me happy."

Ulanara smiled gently and responded.

"As long as the emperor is happy, I am willing to do anything."

The news that reached Nian Shilan's ears was that the emperor encountered An Changzai singing in the imperial garden and was attracted by her singing. An Changzai regained the emperor's favor. Cao Changzai was sitting in Nian Shilan's Yikun Palace at this time, talking to Nian Shilan.

"Isn't your Majesty angry about An Changzai's favor?

The emperor has been doting on An Changzai these days.
Your Majesty should think of a solution."

Nian Shilan laughed disdainfully.

"I don't have the heart to compete with the Emperor for his favor.

If the emperor is willing, I am not afraid that he will not come.

If the emperor is not interested, it would be useless for me to fight for it.

It will only make people laugh at you, so why bother?
Everyone in the palace is favored. Today is An Changzai.
I don’t know who it will be tomorrow.

I don't have that much energy to argue with this or that."

Cao Changzai said again.

"I heard that recently, because of some disputes between Concubine Wan and Concubine Zhen,
The emperor heard that he had not been to Sui Yuxuan for a long time.

I heard that Concubine Wan didn't go to see the emperor either, as if she was angry with the emperor.

In this way, isn't this giving the opportunity to Zhen Changzai for nothing? "

Nian Shilan smiled.

"You only know that Concubine Wan is angry with the Emperor.
But she didn't even consider whether she had the qualifications to be angry with the emperor?

The emperor is a king, how could he be controlled by a small noble?

If she wants to vent her anger, then let her vent.

There are many noble ladies in the palace.

Concubine Wan was angry with the emperor, and those few people, such as Concubine Jing, Concubine Xin,

Fu Changzai and Zhen Changzai were both stretching their necks waiting for the emperor's favor.

I have never seen the emperor truly care about any of the concubines in the harem.

But it’s just a few days of freshness.”

Cao Changzai smiled apologetically.

"Your Majesty is right. Everyone wants the emperor's favor."

When she spoke, she deliberately emphasized the word "everyone", and Nian Shilan certainly knew what Cao Changzai was referring to.

"You don't have to remind me of the emperor's favor.
In addition to having the determination to fight, you also need to persist for a long time to win.

I remember that the Emperor favored you twice in the first month of the year.

It shows that you still have a chance now.

The emperor has given you clothes and jewelry, so you don't have to hide your talents.

Just take it out and wear it.

The best years of your life are limited to these few years, so dress up beautifully for the Emperor to see."

Cao Changzai replied "yes", accepted the two pieces of brocade awarded by Nian Shilan, and returned to the palace happily.

Songzhi watched Cao Changzai leave before she spoke hesitantly.

"My lady, Concubine Cao has been coming here every day these days, and I am afraid."

Year of the Landau.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that others will say that I am forming a clique?"

Song Zhi said.

"No one should be so bold, but there is no guarantee that someone will speculate in this way."

Nian Shilan snorted and laughed.

"What a joke. After spending so much time in the harem, the concubines became close friends.
The emperor will just feel relieved.

I don't have the time to take care of all these things.

Besides, I have always been upright in my work.
Why fear what people say? "

Songzhi rubbed Nian Shilan's shoulders and told her to relax for a while.

Xiao Linzi suddenly flew in from outside with a happy look on his face.

"Master! Master! General Nian has returned victoriously!
The emperor's plan to reduce the power of the princes has been accomplished!

The army is now outside the city!"

Nian Shilan opened her eyes lazily, not looking surprised.

"Look at you, you have been with me for so many years.
Instead, he became irritable.

I'm not surprised at all that my brother won.

I think the emperor will come to my place after seeing my brother.

You go and set up the small kitchen and select a few dishes that the emperor likes.
Be well prepared.”
