The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Nian Shilan seemed puzzled.

"Li Ke, I remember that your clothes were made together with Xiao Linzi.
Why, your clothes seem to have become tighter since you were away for these days?

If this continues, I wonder if you can still be a gentleman on the beam?"

Li Ke staggered, stopped and quickly looked down at his body, then stretched out his hands and touched his stomach.

Songzhi and Lidong couldn't help laughing, and Li Ke sadly discovered that he had indeed become stronger.

He turned around silently and looked at Nian Shilan with a sad face.

"Your Majesty has a keen eye. I will pay attention to this."

Nian Shilan frowned helplessly and said.

"It's not that my Yikun Palace can't afford to support you, it's just that you eat too much.

From today onwards, the midnight snack will be cancelled.

When will you return to normal, and when will you be able to have your favorite midnight snack again? "

Li Ke replied "yes" dejectedly and walked out the door with a shameful look on his face.

That night, Li Ke grabbed the poor Xiao Linzi and asked him countless times, "Have I really gained a lot of weight?" He also forced Xiao Linzi to practice martial arts with him, hoping to get his protruding belly back a little.

Xiao Linzi complained bitterly, but he couldn't beat him, so he could only be a human sandbag for the whole night.

Fortunately, Nian Shilan no longer had to get up early to pay respects to the queen, so Xiao Linzi found a chance to rest quietly for a while.

After Yunli, who was already eighteen years old, recovered from his injuries, he left the palace and set up his own residence. Yinzhen rewarded him with many valuable items and conferred him the title of Prince Guo.

From then on, the bald prince Yunli had his own mansion and title.

But his mother, Concubine Shu, was still in the palace, so he still traveled between the palace and the prince's mansion very diligently.

It happened that Yunli came to the palace to pay his respects that day. Xiao Linzi had just taken a short rest when he was sent by Nian Shilan to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get something.

Xiao Linzi was walking hurriedly on the long street when he was caught off guard and someone covered his eyes from behind. Xiao Linzi grabbed the other person's hand and wanted to throw him over his shoulder, but he realized that anyone who dared to cover his eyes in the palace must be someone he knew.

So Xiao Linzi quickly tried to hold back his strength and almost fell down.

Yunli clapped his hands and laughed.

"Good job, kid, you reacted quickly!"

Xiao Linzi turned around and saw that it was Yunli, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Oh, what wind brings Prince Guo here? I am short-sighted.

I didn't see you at all, and I almost hurt you."

Yunli did not show any princely airs towards Xiao Linzi. He even put his arm around Xiao Linzi's shoulders like he did when they were children.

"Stop it. You're trying to trick me. You're rushing over here.

I just wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect you to have some skills.
You almost knocked me down. If you weren't there to serve Sister Lan,

What are you doing with such a shifty look in your eyes? "

Xiao Linzi laughed and dodged from Yunli's hand without leaving a trace.

"My Lord, you are no longer a child, why are you still so unruly?

How dare I get close to you? I'm going to the Imperial Household Department.
Our master said that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and our master wants to reward many people.
Ask your servant to fetch some gold paper for wrapping things.

Our master asked you some time ago, saying that he didn’t know how your injury was.
Because our master was also injured, we did not ask about the trivial matters in the harem.

But our master is always thinking about you."

When Yunli heard that Nian Shilan was injured, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to Sister Lan? How did she get hurt? How serious is her injury?"

It’s a pity that now that I have set up my own palace, I cannot move freely in the harem.

Apart from paying my respects to the two Empress Dowagers and my mother, I cannot walk around in my brother's harem.

I didn't know that Sister Lan would also be injured, but did someone embarrass Sister Lan?"

Yunli's series of questions made Xiao Linzi feel a little warmer.

No matter how the people in the harem talk about their master's iron-blooded tactics, there are still people who truly care about their master.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our master just sprained his ankle.

But this 100-day rule for breaking a muscle and resting a bone is a tradition handed down from our ancestors.

So the master is still being kept in Yikun Palace.

Don't worry, I will convey your wishes to you when I return today."

Yunli scratched his head, looked around, and approached Xiao Linzi and said.

"You are a favorite of Sister Lan. I have already asked for Mother's permission and am about to leave the palace.
I have nothing to do when I return to the mansion, so why don't you find a way to take me to see Sister Lan?"

Xiao Linzi was shocked. How come Prince Guo was even more rebellious than when he was a child? He actually dared to come up with such an idea in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.

"Oh my Lord! Please don't embarrass me! What can I do?
Dare to bring you into the harem! I say, you'd better go and ask the emperor,
The emperor might be happy and allow you to pay respects to our master~
"I have to take you in private, but you don't want my head!"

Yunli argued with Xiaolinzi for a few more words until Xiaolinzi said in a hurry that he still had to work to get something, and then he got rid of Yunli's entanglement.

Unfortunately, Yunli has been free and unrestrained since he was a child. Even if Xiao Linzi doesn't take him into the harem, he has his own way.

So he found a set of eunuch's clothes from somewhere, and hunched his back like Xiao Linzi, and he managed to get through the checkpoints and went to the harem through the imperial garden.

But before he even reached the Yikun Palace, he was attracted by a woman along the way.

The woman was dressed in a light green palace dress, and looked like a lady. She was followed by a palace maid who was also dressed in light green, but the maid's temperament was very different from hers.

Yunli saw from afar the woman chasing butterflies with a fan by the lake. She looked cute and adorable, very attractive.

Yunli was at the age when he was just beginning to fall in love. When he saw this scene, even though he knew that the woman might be his brother's woman, he still stood still and stared at her infatuatedly.

Zhen Chang, who was catching butterflies with Huanbi, noticed someone looking at her out of the corner of her eye, so she looked in the direction of the butterflies flying.

It turned out to be a little eunuch staring at her infatuatedly. Following her gaze, Huanbi also discovered Yunli dressed as a little eunuch, and she was so annoyed that she stomped her feet.

But they were quite far away from Yunli, and there were many palace maids coming and going in the Imperial Garden, so Huanbi couldn't just shout out loud.

He hurriedly stopped Zhen Changzai and said angrily.

"My dear, let's go back! Look at that eunuch.

He is so brave! He even dares to stare at the emperor's woman!
I am really worried!"

Yun Li saw that the master and servant who were catching butterflies stopped, and the woman dressed as a palace maid was still staring at him from a distance.

Yunli quickly lowered his head and walked away, but he was thinking in his heart, who is this woman?

It seems that I have never seen it around my brother before.

But come to think of it, I have always been unable to sit still during palace banquets, so skipping the banquet has become a common occurrence.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. If I see this woman again at the palace banquet, I will definitely pay attention to her.

But Yunli didn't realize that although he originally wanted to go to Yiku Palace, because he had something on his mind, he went back the way he came.

Yunli, dressed as a little eunuch, bowed his head and bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction. (End of this chapter)
