The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 411 Dissatisfaction with Me
Nian Shilan stopped and watched Yinzhen come out from the inner room and walk towards her through the gauze curtain.

She knelt down, and her voice was different from the sweet voice she used to speak to Yinzhen in the past. Instead, it contained some pleading tone.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor!

I was reckless today, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me~"

Yinzhen listened to Nian Shilan's voice through the curtain and felt strange.

But when he looked at the curtain, he felt even more strange.

In this Jingren Palace, the curtain was never lowered in the past, but today, a gauze curtain divided the palace into two and covered it tightly.

Yinzhen waved his hand, and Su Peisheng understood and immediately spoke to the palace servants serving in the hall.

"It's already daybreak, why is the curtain still hanging like this? Hurry up and put it away!"

Someone immediately stepped forward and rolled up the gauze curtain.

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan who was kneeling on the ground with a look of grievance on her face. She was only wearing ordinary clothes.

"Empress Hua, please get up. Today is a happy day, why aren't you wearing the auspicious dress that I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make?
It seems that the auspicious time has come. Once the queen is better, we will hold the enthronement ceremony."

Nian Shilan knelt on the ground and refused to get up. She just raised her head slowly, and Yinzhen saw the tears in her eyes.

Yinzhen was puzzled. What on earth had happened? The fearless Nian Shilan was wronged on the day she was canonized as a noble concubine.

But before Yinzhen could ask, he heard Nian Shilan speaking aggrievedly.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive me. I am afraid that my virtue as a concubine is not worthy of my position."

Yinzhen sighed and stretched out his hand in front of Nian Shilan.

"What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning, Shilan? You are my imperial concubine.

Who dares to gossip and talk nonsense? You get up first. "

Nian Shilan felt aggrieved and sobbed. She stretched out her hand and stood up with the help of Yinzhen.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ulanara coming out from the inner room. However, Ulanara's face was originally full of smiles, but when she saw Nian Shilan, her smile suddenly froze.

Nian Shilan had just stood up with the help of Yinzhen, but when she saw Ulanara coming out, she immediately knelt down to salute.

But she thought for a moment and just half-knelt and curtseyed.

"Your Majesty, I have seen you. May your Majesty be blessed~"

Ulanara calmed herself down and said with a smile.

"Get up. I had a headache this morning, so I came out a little late.

I wonder what happened to Concubine Hua? She looked so wet in the morning.

But it will make the emperor heartbroken.

Today is a good day for my sister to be crowned as a noble concubine, but she is dressed too simply.

The Imperial Household Department should have already prepared the auspicious robes, which were equivalent to a gift from the emperor.

My sister came to this Jingren Palace, but she didn't wear the royal dress.
This may be against the palace rules and the emperor's grace~"

Ulanara turned to Yinzhen and bowed, saying.

"Your Majesty, I think Sister Hua Fei was confused for a moment.
I beg for mercy on behalf of my sister, and ask His Majesty to be lenient with her."

Yinzhen did not say anything. His eyes swept past Ulanara and looked at Nian Shilan behind her.

Nian Shilan had stopped crying and her eyes were red.

But the aggrieved look on her face had not faded, which was fresh.

Yinzhen had never seen Nian Shilan like this before.

He was sitting in the seat of honor at this time, and Ulanara was still waiting for his response in front of him.

"Queen, please sit down first. Shilan must have a reason for what he did today.

Shilan has always been respectful to the superiors, so let's listen to Shilan's explanation." Ulanara sighed inwardly, and had to thank him and sit aside.

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan again and said.

"Concubine Hua just came here in a hurry and repeatedly begged me to forgive her. I wonder why?"

Nian Shilan took two steps forward, knelt down softly, kowtowed, and then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty is willing to listen to my words, I am grateful.

This morning, I was supposed to wear the auspicious dress bestowed by the emperor and come to Jingren Palace to accept the enthronement of the Empress.

I just don't know if it's God's will, or if I'm unworthy of my position.
The Imperial Household Department had already prepared the auspicious clothes and sent them to the Yikun Palace early this morning.
It was only then that my personal maid discovered that my auspicious dress was damaged.

I was terrified, afraid that the Emperor would blame me, and I also suspected that God was punishing me.
I have asked someone to invite the eunuch Liu, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is here to deliver the wedding attire.

Eunuch Liu told me that it was not easy to make the auspicious clothes. Even if we reopened the warehouse to repair them,

It will take two or three days to send it back.

After much thought, I feel scared and helpless, so I can only ask Eunuch Liu for help to find a solution.

Eunuch Liu has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time. I think he might be able to find a way.

Eunuch Liu did not disappoint me and brought me a piece of clothing.

It is said that it can temporarily replace the style of the wedding dress. However, I see that the style of the dress is not new,
The materials used are excellent. Especially the South China pearls on the clothes.

Each one is huge and shiny, and you can tell at first glance that it is a gift from the emperor.

I thought it must be the clothes of some lady in the past, so I didn't dare to wear it.

But the auspicious time is approaching again, and I have no choice but to come and apologize to the emperor.

Please forgive my crime, Your Majesty!"

Nian Shilan's words were very clever.

He not only showed that he was completely unaware of the damage to the auspicious dress, but also told Yinzhen clearly that the person who came up with the idea of ​​using old clothes as rewards instead of auspicious clothes was the head of the Imperial Household Department.

Yinzhen was a young emperor who was decisive and ruthless, so he naturally heard this thought clearly.

He pondered for a moment and said.

"The ground is cold, you should get up and speak first. You only ask me to forgive you, but I don't know what I want to forgive you for.

The fact that the auspicious clothes were damaged is a big deal. But the idea of ​​the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace them with old clothes is really stupid!"

Songzhi helped Nian Shilan stand up, and Nian Shilan said again.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Although Eunuch Liu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs occasionally made mistakes during the day,

But they were all harmless little things.

I must have been in a hurry today and came up with this idea in a rush.

I dare not make the decision on my own, so I can only bring Eunuch Liu with me.
The Emperor will ask for clarification before making a decision."

Ulanara suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is almost here, but Concubine Hua's auspicious dress has such a big problem.
I am also afraid that, as Hua Fei said, it is God who will not allow it~
You see, should we postpone this enthronement ceremony?
Once the matter is clarified, the Ministry of Rites will choose a good day.

Re-ennoble Consort Hua as Consort Hua Guifei."

Nian Shilan almost wanted to laugh when she heard what Ulanara said.

Ulanara's intention finally surfaced, and she was so impatient to persuade the emperor to postpone the enthronement.

But Yinzhen never believed in gods and ghosts, so he just said calmly.

"I remember that I once told the Queen that a gentleman should not talk about strange things.

I conferred the title of Concubine Hua on her. Does the Empress mean that God is dissatisfied with me as the Emperor?
Or is it that the Queen is dissatisfied with me?"

Only then did Ulanara realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she immediately stood up and knelt down.
