The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Yinzhen stared at Ulanara, as if he had never known her before.

"I didn't know that the Queen would contradict me sometimes."

Ulanara suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not only her husband, but also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In the past, when Ulanara first entered the palace, she was able to talk to Yinzhen, but now that she has become the queen, she can no longer do so.

Ulanara suppressed the anger in her heart, took a deep breath, and her expression calmed down again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to contradict you. It's just that Concubine Hua made me very angry today.
I don't know what made Concubine Hua unhappy.

A person who has always been sensible can actually disregard his subjects and speak wildly.

No matter how unbearable this concubine is, she is still the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. Concubine Hua is acting like this.
Firstly, it is disrespectful to the emperor. "

Yinzhen said coldly.

"Although the Queen is in charge of the harem, does that mean I can't interfere in this harem?

Even if Concubine Hua is wrong, the Queen should tell me.
Even if you want to beat, kill, or send me to the clan house, I should be the one to decide.

My concubines, when will it be the Queen's turn to call for killing?"

Just as Ulanara was about to defend herself, Nian Shilan spoke with red eyes.

"Even though I am upset today at the Queen's implicit accusations,
I spoke rudely to the Empress, but now that the Emperor is here, I beg the Empress to forgive me."

As she spoke, Nian Shilan knelt down in front of Ulanara, which was a rare move.

"I, the concubine Hua Guifei Nian, have spoken inappropriately. I beg the Empress to be magnanimous and forgive me!"

Concubine Duan and others watched Nian Shilan bow deeply, and seeing that the Emperor did not stop her, they did not know what to do for a moment.

Concubine Shen and Concubine Cao had already knelt down following Nian Shilan's move. Concubine Fu also knelt down after a moment's hesitation.

Concubine Jing followed Nian Shilan and bowed.

Ulanara was so angry when she saw the situation.

The matter was initiated by Nian Shilan, but in the end it was blamed on herself for not being magnanimous enough and for arguing with a concubine as the queen.

It was obviously Nian Shilan who was disrespectful, but in front of Yinzhen, it was Ulanara who acted intolerant.

Everyone with eyes present saw clearly Yinzhen's favoritism today.

For Ulanara, Nian Shilan kneeling down and begging for mercy was more uncomfortable than her being tough to the end.

It really made Ulanara speechless, unable to express her pain.

If Ulanara continues to pester the emperor to make the decision, she will be immature.

Seeing that Ulanara didn't say anything, Nian Shilan raised her eyes and looked at Yinzhen with red eyes.

"Your Majesty knows that I have always been outspoken and did not intend to offend the Empress.

I beg the Emperor to forgive me, and the Empress to forgive me. I will reflect on my mistakes when I return home."

Everyone in the hall could hear Ulanara's gasp clearly. After all, no one dared to breathe at that moment.

But she really didn't know what to say for a moment. At this embarrassing moment, Yinzhen said.

"Okay, it was originally just a small matter, and you sisters will still have to get along with each other in the palace in the future.

Concubine Hua, please go back to your Yiku Palace and reflect on your mistakes. Queen, you should have the magnanimity to tolerate others.

I have a lot of memorials to review and don't have the time to worry about these trivial matters every day.

Everyone else, go back and don't talk about what happened today outside."

After saying this, she stood up and was about to leave. Except for Ulanara who remained standing where she was, the other concubines all bowed and saw her off respectfully.

After Yinzhen left first, Nian Shilan didn't care that Ulanara didn't ask her to stand up, but stretched out her hand and was helped up by Xiaolinzi. She stood in front of Ulanara, lowered her eyebrows and said submissively.

"Then I will take my leave. I will reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors.
I will continue to trouble the Empress and Concubine Duan for all matters concerning the harem."

Ulanara watched Nian Shilan leave leisurely, her teeth almost breaking.

At noon that day, news came from Jingren Palace that the Queen had a headache and needed to rest well.

In this way, Concubine Duan will continue to assist in managing the six palaces.

After returning to the Yiku Palace, Nian Shilan changed into casual clothes. She took off all the gorgeous hair accessories and simply tied her hair into a bun, leaning against it loosely. It was only the beginning of May, but the fashionable fruits and vegetables that were tributed from outside had already become diverse in style.

In accordance with Nian Shilan's request that she wanted to eat something refreshing, the small kitchen cut the sandy watermelon, which had been carefully wrapped layer by layer and delivered at a rapid speed of 800 miles, into edible pieces, and served it on a gold-painted plate.

At this time, Nian Shilan was leaning lazily against the small table on the couch, picking up a piece of watermelon with a pure gold fork and savoring it slowly.

Even the seeds in the watermelon have been carefully picked out by the small kitchen.

The hall was filled with a fresh scent of watermelon.

Xiao Linzi came in from outside happily.

"Master, the Emperor is here. Because you told others that you were confined to reflect on your mistakes,

The emperor did not ask the servants to make a public announcement, nor did he send a message. Would you like to get up and welcome him?"

Nian Shilan had just swallowed a small piece of watermelon and was enjoying the taste, she said lazily.

"No. I'm so tired after taking such a huge blame today."

Xiao Linzi chuckled, but before he could say anything, Su Peisheng had already lifted the curtain and Yinzhen walked in.

"Who made my beloved concubine take the blame? This is an injustice to my beloved concubine."

Nian Shilan then put down the fork in her hand reluctantly and pretended to get down from the ground.

Yinzhen waved his hand and sat on the other side, also crossing his legs like Nian Shilan.

He looked at the table and saw that in addition to the watermelon, there were two tea-cakes and smiled.

"Why do you eat so lightly? I heard that you don't eat well every day. How can your body bear it?"

Nian Shilan casually smoothed her loose hair with her hands and said.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me whether the dragon fetus in my belly could withstand it?
When people try to persuade pregnant women to eat, they always mention the fetus in their belly.

Your Majesty is so good that he only cares whether I can bear it or not. This makes me feel flattered."

Yinzhen took the tea that Lingzhi brought and looked up at Lingzhi.

Lingzhi was still wearing the same brand new clothes she had worn in the morning when she followed Nian Shilan to pay her respects to Ulanara, but her hairstyle was a little different from that of other palace maids, and the pearl flowers in her hair looked newer.

Lingzhi served the tea and retreated with her head lowered, but she raised her eyes as if inadvertently and met Yinzhen's gaze.

Nian Shilan smiled.

"Your Majesty is only looking at my concubine's maid, and has not yet answered my question."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled and shook his head, took a sip of tea, and looked at Nian Shilan.

"I just haven't seen this palace girl in front of you before.

I vaguely remember that it seemed that she was the one who accompanied you in Jingren Palace this morning.

Where is Songzhi, who used to serve you personally? Why did you suddenly promote her to serve you personally?

I was just thinking, I don’t know what is so special about her that she caught your eye.”
