The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 473 Calling Silang
Seeing that Prince Guo was determined to do so, and knowing that he had never been one to follow the rules in the past, the guard followed his lead.

As soon as the guards left, Yunli looked around and saw that there was no one, so he walked forward quickly.

Although Ah Jin was puzzled, he still followed his master closely.

Yinzhen took a few quick steps and saw Zhen Changzai who was about to turn a corner in front of him.

"Always stay."

Zhen Changzai stopped and turned around to see that it was Prince Guo who was chasing after her.

She quickly took two steps back and said to Yun Li who was getting closer and closer.

"I don't know why the prince called me. This place is quiet and secluded. Please respect yourself, prince."

Yun Li was stunned for a moment, stopped, kept a few steps away from Zhen Changzai, and laughed out loud.

"Does the concubine think that I am some kind of playboy? You have underestimated me.

This king just wanted to thank Chang Zai for what he did just now."

Zhen Chang then took a closer look at Prince Guo. Unlike the day when he was hunched over and wearing eunuch's clothes in the Imperial Garden, Prince Guo today was wearing a light green gown with the cloud pattern on it showing his extraordinary status.

He wore a jade pendant around his waist, which was only worn by men of the royal family, and a turmeric-colored purse.

Unlike ordinary royal men, Prince Guo has a flute behind his waist.

Prince Guo was already an adult man. He was tall and handsome. He stood in front of Zhen Changzai with a graceful demeanor and just looked at her with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are mistaken. I am not such a mean person as to judge a gentleman like you.

But I have been taught since childhood to be very careful about the differences between men and women.

But seeing that Your Majesty is so carefree, I just want to remind You."

Yunli nodded and said with a smile.

"Sure enough, I didn't make a mistake. It was just that I was in a hurry that day and didn't know that Chang Zai was my brother's woman.

Besides, I have never heard of your reputation, so I didn't recognize the gold and jade. Please forgive me."

Zhen Changzai was somewhat dissatisfied with Prince Guo's casual attitude, and her voice, which had been warm just now, immediately turned cold.

"Prince Guo disguised himself as a eunuch and sneaked into the palace for no reason. I just wanted to avoid trouble.

This is why the matter was not exposed in front of the emperor. Your Majesty does not need to be polite or take it to heart.

If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. Yun Li didn't want to force him to stay, so he just said behind Zhen Changzai.

"Today, I have accepted Chang Zai's kindness. If Chang Zai needs me in the future, I will definitely go there without hesitation!"

Zhen Changzai did not answer, but quickened her pace and left.

After walking for a while, Huanbi said cautiously.

"I just saw that Prince Guo had no ill intentions. Why did the young lady suddenly get angry?"

Zhen often talked while walking.

“In fact, I met this prince not long after I entered the palace, but he was still a teenager at that time.

Do you still remember what happened when Concubine Hua gave birth to the Fourth Prince not long after we entered the palace?
I was standing in the crowd that day, and because of my low status, I didn’t dare to stretch my head to see the scene in front of me.

Later I heard that the seventeenth prince who was present that day was conferred the title of Prince Guo.

But that day in the Imperial Garden, you and I were chasing butterflies together, and he passed by in eunuch's clothes.

I didn’t recognize him as the Seventeenth Prince from two years ago. I only knew it was him when I saw him today.”

Huanbi asked in confusion.

"I remember everything the young lady said, but I don't understand why the young lady suddenly got angry today."

Zhen Chang is on the road.

“He is the most trouble-maker, and I don’t want to have anything to do with him.

And I don't like his frivolous attitude in his words. Remember,
Don't mention what he just said to me to anyone who has nothing to do with it." Huanbi said.

"Yes. But just now in front of the emperor, the emperor knew that the young lady had met Prince Guo."

Zhen Changzai stopped and tapped Huanbi's forehead unhappily.

"You are a smart person all day long, but today your head is confused by something.

I'm talking about what I said to Prince Guo just now after I left the Emperor.

If this gets out, I am the emperor's concubine and he is the emperor's brother.

You said there would be so many messed up stories!
I haven't even gained favor yet, but I'm being killed by rumors!"

Huanbi stuck out her tongue and nodded quickly.

"Slave, I remember!"

On the other side, in Qingliang Palace, Yinzhen went to see Nian Shilan as he was told.

Nian Shilan was taking a nap on the chaise longue in the hall, while the cooling wind wheel in the hall was being turned by the palace servants.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Hearing the eunuch's report, Nian Shilan sighed, and lazily stood up, complaining in her heart that Yinzhen was not staying with Jiuzhou Qingyan or any other concubine, but came to her instead.

But even though she complained in her heart, she still slowly went out to greet him.

Yinzhen walked quickly and had already reached the palace entrance.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Why is your Majesty here at this time?"

Although Nian Shilan's belly was still flat after almost four months of pregnancy, Yinzhen felt sorry for her and quickly reached out to take it, preventing her from bowing.

"No need to be polite. I told you that you are pregnant, so you don't need to be polite when there is no one around.

Anyway, it's just you and me now, I don't care about these things."

Nian Shilan smiled sweetly in Yinzhen's arms.

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. Etiquette cannot be abolished. Although there are only two of us, Your Majesty and I,

But in my heart, I always remember that you are the emperor whose majesty cannot be offended."

Yinzhen reached out and took Nian Shilan's hand and led her into the palace.

"You've been by my side for so long, why are you still so distant?

It seems as if you have never called me anything other than "Your Majesty."

Nian Shilan sat down as Yinzhen pulled her and looked at him with a questioning look.

"Your Majesty, I cannot accept what you said. Your Majesty thinks,
What should I call you? You are the Emperor."

Yinzhen shook his head helplessly, looking at this concubine who came from a military family, and wondered in his heart if she was really unromantic.

"You must not dare, nor can you, call me by my name.

But I am the fourth among my brothers.
I have heard that wives in the folk call their husbands "Jun", or add the character "Lang" to their surnames.

Or, depending on one's ranking, one is also called Jilang.

So, what should you call me now?"

Nian Shilan sneered in her heart. In her previous life, she heard that Zhen Huan and Yinzhen called each other by nicknames in private. Yinzhen really liked Zhen Huan's calling him "Silang" at that time.

In this life, when Concubine Wan first gained favor, she also called Yinzhen "Silang".

Of course, Nian Shilan only knew this in her dream. "Silang" was the nickname given to Empress Chunyuan and Yinzhen when they were close to each other.

Unfortunately, every time I think of these two words, I just feel numb and even a little disgusted.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan pretended to be stupid and continued to look at Yinzhen in confusion.

"But, I am only the emperor's concubine, not the emperor's wife. The emperor's wife is the Empress."
