The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 456 Chang Zai You Pregnancy
Xin Changzai, who was named by Ulanara, suddenly felt uncomfortable. She stood up and saluted.

"The Queen Mother has shown her love to us and bestowed upon us this lucky item to ward off evil and poison.
But I have been feeling unwell recently and cannot stand the smell of fragrance.

So I ordered people to collect the things that the queen had given me.
It's not that I'm disrespectful to Your Majesty."

Xin Changzai has never liked to show off in the palace, nor would she deliberately seek the emperor's favor, so Ulanara has never taken her seriously.

But as soon as these words were spoken today, Ulanara immediately began to think about it.

"Oh? Have you been feeling unwell recently? Have you asked the imperial physician to see you?

What is the cause of your discomfort? You are also trying to be strong.

Since you are not feeling well, send someone to let me know.
Just rest in your own palace.

Why bother coming here to sit and suffer~"

Xin Changzai was about to say something when she suddenly felt nauseous in her throat. She was afraid of losing her composure in front of the Queen, so she quickly covered her mouth tightly.

Seeing her like this, what was there for Ulanara to not understand?

Meng'er, Xin Chang's personal maid, saw that her master was unable to speak for a moment and was afraid that the Queen would blame her, so she spoke hurriedly.

"Please forgive me, Queen, our young lady is pregnant."

The expressions of the people sitting there who were originally watching the fun suddenly changed.

Fu Changzai, who was on good terms with Xin Changzai, had a smile on her lips. Shen Guiren looked a little lonely, and Li Guiren turned her head away with disdain.

Concubine Zhen clenched the handkerchief in her hand, Concubine Cao subconsciously looked at Ulanara, but Concubine An was still huddled as usual, with an expression on her face that seemed to be happy for Concubine Xin, but afraid of being noticed.

Concubine Duan felt sad when she thought of her miscarried child.

Concubine Jing was lowering her head and instructing Princess Kangle to stay away from Concubine Xin from now on and never touch her belly.

Nothing could be seen from Concubine Wan's expression. She took a sip of the tea and observed Ulanara's expression.

Nian Shilan looked at these people coldly and felt it was funny.

She also didn't expect that Xin Changzai would let people know that she was pregnant at this critical juncture.

After hearing what Meng'er said, Ulanara was extremely happy, and her face was full of excitement that she could not hide.

"Xin Changzai, this is a great event! Why didn't you tell the Emperor about it?
You have been in the palace for several years. The emperor will be very happy if he knows.

When I heard about it, I was overjoyed~"

Xin Changzai had already suppressed the feeling of nausea. She did not dare to delay and hurriedly spoke to Ulanara.

"It's not that I intend to hide it, it's just that I'm newly pregnant and the fetus is not yet firmly established.

I thought it was not appropriate to make it public, and I did not dare to cause trouble for the Emperor and the Empress.

I don't know why, but I feel really uncomfortable.
I originally thought that palace banquets were gatherings of sisters in the harem, so it would be okay to just sit for a while.

I never thought that my body would be so weak that I almost lost my manners in front of the Empress and my sisters."

Ulanara smiled.

"Please sit down quickly. You are a person with a body, why are you standing like this?

Even if you don't care about your own body, I still feel sorry for the dragon fetus in your belly.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you have such a big happy event. It’s really a good day!

When the Emperor finds out about this, he will surely be very pleased."

All the concubines then stood up and spoke in unison.

"Congratulations to Xin Changzai for being pregnant~"

The hall was bustling with activity, and the young eunuchs outside were also singing in high voices.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Yinzhen came over following the sound, looking in a good mood, and said with a smile, "I'm late, did the Queen lead everyone to have some fun first?"

Everyone who had not yet sat down stood up again, and Ulanara stood up to salute Yinzhen.

"I, along with my sisters, pay my respects to His Majesty. May His Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

As early as when Yinzhen entered the palace, he noticed Nian Shilan's lazy look from the corner of his eye. He smiled to himself, thinking it was rare that Nian Shilan was willing to come out for a walk today.

"Sit down, everyone. I will feel uneasy if you stand."

After Ulanara saw Yinzhen sitting down, she smiled again.

"It's a festive occasion, and the Emperor is happy to see it. But there is another happy event.
The emperor will be even happier if he knows this~"

Yinzhen turned to look at Ulanara with great interest.

"Oh? Any other good news? Tell me about it."

Ulanara's face was full of joy.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xin is pregnant. Isn't this a great joy?"

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, first glanced at Nian Shilan, then looked at Xin Changzai, but when he saw Xin Changzai was about to stand up again, a smile broke out on his face.

"Hurry up and sit down! It is indeed a great joyous event. Su Peisheng,

Quickly change Xin Changzai's dishes to lighter ones.
I guess her appetite is not very good now, so she can't eat the dishes of the palace banquet."

Su Peisheng responded with "yeah" and clapped his hands. Immediately, a palace servant came over and removed the dishes in front of Xin Changzai. A moment later, more palace servants came in and replaced the dishes in front of Xin Changzai with lighter ones.

Xin Changzai has been serving Yinzhen for two years, and it is rare to see Yinzhen being so caring to her.

I was so flattered that my eyes were filled with tears, and I only regretted that I got pregnant too late.

Yinzhen looked at Xin Chang from afar and saw that her eyes were red, feeling a little surprised.

"Why are you crying? Is it because the dishes changed by the imperial kitchen are not good?

I'll ask someone to change it again. Just tell my subordinates what you like to eat."

Concubine Duan smiled.

"In my opinion, Concubine Xin is touched. The emperor is kind to us, and we should be grateful."

Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Duan quietly and found that her personality in this life was different from that in the previous life.

In her previous life, Concubine Duan would never take the initiative to speak in order to attract Yinzhen's attention. She had the character of a daughter of a general in her bones.

Even though the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine that Concubine Duan sent to her in the previous life cost the life of the baby in Nian Shilan's belly, Concubine Duan gritted her teeth and accepted it. Nian Shilan knew that Concubine Duan in the previous life loved Yinzhen as deeply as she did, or even more.

That's why Concubine Duan was willing to take the blame for the rest of her life even after she knew she was blamed.

It’s a pity that in her previous life, Nian Shilan’s heart and eyes were filled with Yinzhen, and she couldn’t hear Concubine Duan’s hint at all.

On the surface, Concubine Duan in this life still looked the same as in the previous life, indifferent and reclusive. But after Concubine Duan assisted in managing the six palaces a few days ago, Nian Shilan noticed that she had changed.

Concubine Duan, who had never cared about gold and silver in the past, now began to care about the expenses of the Yikun Palace.

Nian Shilan held the sachet given by Ulanara in her hand and sniffed it gently.

Nian Shilan's sense of smell became extremely sensitive during her pregnancy, but she did not detect the scent in the sachet that she had been smelling for half her life in her previous life.

She was a little confused. Could it be that she was being mean this time?

Songzhi leaned close to Nian Shilan's ear and whispered.

"Your Highness, it is better not to smell these sachets while you are pregnant, after all, medicine is three-quarters poison.

Besides, Your Majesty can't stand the smell of messy things these days, so it's better to give it to me for safekeeping.

When the palace banquet is over, I will quietly dispose of these items."
