The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Zhen Chang is on the road.

"Your Majesty is right! I entered the palace late, but I strictly abide by the palace rules and dare not overstep the line.

The Empress is the Empress of the Qing Dynasty and the mother of all the subjects in the world.

All of us concubines will follow the Empress' lead!"

The other people kneeling in the hall seemed to have found the exit and immediately followed in unison.

"I, your concubines, will follow your Majesty's orders!"

Ulanara looked at Zhen Changzai with satisfaction. This was someone who could be controlled.

But Nian Shilan started giggling as if she heard something funny.

"I just found out today that Concubine Zhen is also a sharp-tongued person~
It’s a pity that after two years in the palace, she has not yet received the emperor’s favor.

But you are smart and know that the emperor's favor is rare.
Why not try to curry favor with the Queen first? But I don't like flatterers.
Today, I just said a few more words about the Queen's dilemma.
It's really funny that you guys are acting like this.

Didn't the Queen say that we are all sisters?

Since we are all sisters, it is okay for me to have a few jokes with the sisters, right?"

After Nian Shilan finished ridiculing Zhen Changzai, she turned around, stood up and said to Ulanara.

"I was just joking with Her Majesty the Queen, and she got angry.

It's really boring. I've already asked for your respect, so I'll take my leave now."

She turned to leave, then suddenly turned back and said.

"But the Queen just said that she is the legal wife and I am just a concubine.

If I remember correctly, the Empress was promoted from a concubine to a wife.

To put it simply, a second wife is just a concubine, and is not necessarily more noble than a concubine."

After saying that, she turned around and left without paying any attention to anyone. Lingzhi no longer had the arrogance she had when she came. She followed Nian Shilan with her head lowered. At this moment, she only hated that she had a head because it was so conspicuous.

Behind Nian Shilan came the angry voice of Ulanara, accompanied by the sound of porcelain breaking.

"How dare you! Concubine Hua is disrespectful and disrespectful to her superiors. Capture her now!"

Nian Shilan turned around suddenly and stared at the guards around him who responded.

“Let’s see who dares!”

Xiao Linzi, who had followed her, had long disappeared. Lingzhi's legs were so weak with fear that she knelt behind Nian Shilan.

Ulanara sat in the upper seat and looked at Nian Shilan with hatred in her eyes. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

This was the first time that Ulanara showed her aggressive side in front of everyone, and she spoke each word almost through gritted teeth.

"Catch him for me!"

The guards rushed forward and the eunuchs shouted outside.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Ulanara stood up suddenly, but the hatred in her eyes had not disappeared.

When Yinzhen arrived, he saw Nian Shilan surrounded by the guards of Jingren Palace, and one of the guards even made a move to stretch out his hand to stop Nian Shilan.

Yinzhen said.

"How dare you! I wonder who dares to touch Concubine Hua!"

When the guards heard Yinzhen's voice, they had already knelt on the ground. Ulanara came out and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I think you have just come back from your morning court."

Yinzhen ignored Ulanara's words, stepped forward, pulled Nian Shilan to his side, and scolded her lightly.

"You've just recovered from an illness, but why are you so restless!" Nian Shilan's eyes instantly turned red, but she kept a stubborn face and bowed to Yinzhen to greet him.

Yinzhen walked into the hall, sat down at the top, and said unhappily.

"You all greet me one by one, but I have never had a single day of peace.

Xiao Linzi came to see me in a hurry. I had just finished court and had no time to change my clothes before he rushed over.

"I saw you guys were on edge when I arrived. Tell me, why are you guys on edge today?"

Yinzhen looked at the people still kneeling in the hall and waved his hand.

"You should get up first. A group of people are kneeling in front of me. My eyes are dazzled."

Concubine Duan and the others hurriedly thanked the emperor and stood up, but they knelt for a long time, and Concubine Shen and Concubine Fu stumbled a little when they stood up.

Yinzhen just glanced at him lightly and said nothing more.

Ulanara, who came forward, spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Cai was very disrespectful to me and spoke wildly.

Every word you say is full of thorns, and you insult me. I just can't stand it!"

Yinzhen nodded and turned to Nian Shilan.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Nian Shilan's eyes became even redder, but she spoke in a steady voice, looking stubborn and trying hard.

"Your Majesty, I got up early to pay my respects to the Empress, but the Empress mentioned in public that I was punished by Empress Dowager De to kneel.

Your Majesty knows that I have always been very concerned about my reputation. Being humiliated in public by the Empress, I feel ashamed.

I argued with her for a few points, but the Queen got angry and ordered people to arrest me.

Although I am only a noble concubine, I was conferred the title by the Emperor and entered into the royal imperial register. The Empress is treating me like this.
Isn't this a sign of dissatisfaction with the Emperor's appointment of me as a noble concubine? I know that my position is humble,
I shouldn't have argued with the Empress. Now that the Emperor is here, I will have no complaints if the Emperor punishes me or punishes me."

Concubine Duan looked at Nian Shilan's confusing right and wrong remarks and was glad that she had not spoken a word just now, otherwise she didn't know what kind of trouble she would have gotten into.

The emperor was not close to me to begin with. If I offended Nian Shilan by speaking for the queen today, it would be a loss.

Ulanara could no longer hold it in and said hurriedly.

"Noble Concubine Hua is confusing right and wrong, calling a horse a zebra. Is Your Majesty going to tolerate this?

It was Concubine Hua who had provoked the incident today, but Concubine Hua was very sharp-tongued.

It's my fault! If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, all the concubines in the palace are witnesses."

Nian Shilan pretended to wipe away her tears, but her eyes looked around at the people standing there. The concubines who were caught by her gaze lowered their heads one by one.

Ulanara suddenly realized that she had been tricked by Nian Shilan today.

She deliberately wanted to provoke the anger of Ulanara today. Nian Shilan knew very well that everyone in the harem was concerned about self-protection, and she was sure that others would not get involved in this mess.

Nian Shilan just wanted to force Ulanara to lose her composure in public!
Ulanara suddenly fell silent. She slowly looked at the other concubines and saw that they all lowered their heads and did not speak.

Yinzhen looked at Ulanara with a questioning look and said.

"Is this how the Queen acts as my Queen and sets an example for the rest of the harem?

Regardless of what happened today, as the queen,
But confronting the concubines in public is really inappropriate."

Jianqiu wanted to say something hurriedly, but Ulanara stretched out her hand to stop her. She lowered her head and said.

"Your Majesty is telling me that I was reckless. As the queen,
You should not fight back when you are hit, or talk back when you are scolded, and you will be a role model for the world."

Yinzhen frowned. He could hear the resentment in Ulanara's tone, but he did not expect Ulanara to say such words in front of everyone. (End of this chapter)
