The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 457 I Still Don’t Understand
Nian Shilan nodded and handed the sachet in her hand to Songzhi.

But Concubine Wan saw this scene clearly, and she smiled and said in a neither loud nor low voice.

"Your Highness, Concubine Hua, can't stand the smell of the sachet? I think it smells really good."

Nian Shilan looked up and saw that Concubine Wan was sitting some distance away from her, she said lazily.

"I don't know whether Lady Wan has exceptional eyesight or has been secretly spying on me.

This seat is not far from me, and there are several concubines between us."

Concubine Wan was startled. Concubine Hua did not answer her. Instead, she turned the conversation back to Concubine Wan.

Yinzhen also looked in the direction Nian Shilan said, and saw that there was indeed some distance between Nian Shilan and Concubine Wan.

From Yinzhen's perspective, Concubine Wan's outfit today looked exactly like Yunxi, but for some reason, Yinzhen felt that it was only a resemblance in appearance.

In the past, Yinzhen preferred the face of Concubine Wan, but today he felt a little annoyed.

When Concubine Wan was in favor, she was always relaxed and free in front of Yinzhen, and never tried to win favor. She really had some of the innocence and naivety of Yunxi.

But since when, in Yinzhen's eyes, Concubine Wan has become more and more petty, and her words always have ulterior motives.

Lady Wan raised her wine glass and said with a smile.

"I see that there is such a big happy event today, and while all the sisters are happy,
He dared to joke with the Imperial Concubine Hua. Unexpectedly, he made the Imperial Concubine unhappy.

It was my fault, I will drink three cups as punishment."

After saying that, she drank the wine in the glass. Nian Shilan looked at her coldly as she drank three glasses of wine in one breath. Then she stood up and said to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the hierarchy in this palace is strict now, with clear distinctions between the superior and the inferior?"

Yinzhen knew what Nian Shilan wanted to say. He pondered for a moment, looked at Concubine Wan again, and that was it.

"Naturally, there is a clear distinction between high and low."

Year of the Landau.

"Since the distinction between high and low is clear, I would like to ask Your Majesty, what crime should be committed by a noble lady who offends a noble concubine?"

Zhen Changzai's eyes fell on the panic-stricken face of Concubine Wan and she sneered inwardly, wondering, with that kind of brain, how dare she provoke Concubine Hua.

Concubine Wan stood up, walked a few steps to the center of the hall, and knelt down in front of Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty is aware that I did not intend to offend Concubine Hua.
But seeing that Your Majesty was as radiant as the moon in the sky, I dared not to look at her."

Nian Shilan stood there without moving, she just lowered her eyes and looked down at Guiren Wan who was crawling on the ground, her heart full of disdain.

A country girl is a country girl after all. Originally, it was thought that she could take the opportunity to become a phoenix, which could be regarded as a reward for helping Nian Shilan.

I didn't expect that it hadn't even flown to the branch yet, so I thought about picking the fruit on the top of the tree.

"Don't you think, Master Wan, that it's a little late to ask for forgiveness when you've committed a crime?"

Nian Shilan said this, then looked up at Yinzhen and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that without rules, there can be no order.

Today a nobleman dares to tease me, and tomorrow he will be a concubine.
The next step is the promise, and then the official girl.

Today, she dared to stare at me and spy on me, and even dared to ridicule and provoke me.

I can’t guarantee that you won’t have some thoughts about me tomorrow.

When I think of what happened some time ago, I feel extremely scared. "

Ulanara sighed.

"Empress Hua, please don't lose your status or else people will laugh at you.

You are in a high position, but you are unwilling to let go of a little nobleman.
This is not in line with a woman's magnanimous character."

Nian Shilan looked at Ulanara and replied in an unusually gentle tone.

"Your Majesty is right. Since Your Majesty is pleading for Lady Wan,

Then I can’t hold on to it anymore, I will obey the Queen.”

The reversal happened so quickly that Concubine Wan fell to her knees on the ground in shock.

Not to mention Concubine Wan, even the others were stunned. Only Yinzhen laughed in his heart. This little fox was setting an example for the Queen and Concubine Wan with his actions.

The words that Ulanara had prepared were stuck in her throat for a moment. She thought that with Nian Shilan's personality, she would definitely refute her words.

Yinzhen waved his hand and said.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, just sit down."

So after the palace banquet ended, Ulanara's face darkened when she returned to Jingren Palace.

Jianqiu helped her sit down and said.

"Your Majesty, please don't get yourself hurt by what happened today. It's not worth it."

Ulanara said.

"I am increasingly confused about Concubine Hua. Hasn't she always been arrogant and domineering?
Why did he come down the stairs again today, catching me off guard?

I don’t know what she’s up to! ”

Jianqiu Road.

"Who cares what she's up to? At least she didn't offend the queen in front of everyone today.

Jiang Fuhai said at that time that he had been watching Prince Guo's mansion for the past two days and had not discovered anything.

Apart from reading every day, Prince Guo would go out for a ride on horseback with his servants.

All the eunuchs who had served him closely in the prince's residence were sent away by him to do other things.

It is said that the servant serving him now was hired after he established the government.

Otherwise, there is nothing worth mentioning."

Ulanara was extremely tired and rubbed her cheeks gently.

"I've been laughing all day, and my face is really sore.

But I see that the Emperor is wholeheartedly protecting Concubine Hua.

This palace feels even more bitter and embarrassed.

I wonder how the Empress Dowager De is doing today, and whether she is feeling better."

Jianqiu Road.

"I have sent someone to ask after her, but Empress Dowager De is still the same.

Ever since the Fourteenth Master passed away, Empress Dowager De has been lying in bed, unwilling to move.

I don't want to see anyone. I heard that the emperor went there several times.
They were all stopped by people around Empress Dowager De, and the emperor didn't say anything.

I am worried that if this continues, Empress Dowager De’s health will be in danger.”

Ulanara said.

"I am also worried. If she collapses all of a sudden, what will happen? But I still don't understand.

I have also asked people to investigate why the Empress Dowager has always stood on the side of Concubine Hua.

The two of them had no contact before Concubine Hua entered the palace.

Empress Dowager De was once the maid of Empress Xiaoyiren, and later became the late emperor's favorite.
Before this, Uya had never been given the title of imperial concubine.

So now the Empress Dowager De has been giving me instructions.

The throne of Queen must be in the hands of her own people.

But now I am isolated and helpless in the palace, and I am attacked from all sides. It's very difficult.

She always said that she was born a concubine and that she could reach her current position thanks to the blessing of her ancestors.

But even though I am a concubine, I started out as a prince's concubine.

I am where I am today because of myself.

I thought that after entering the palace, I could count on Empress Dowager De to help me.
After all, I was overthinking."

The Empress Dowager De's background was no secret, but it was the first time that Jianqiu had seen her background singled out by Ulanara, so she did not dare to respond casually.
