The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Yinzhen nodded. This was the Nian Shilan he knew, brave and resourceful, who could handle things well.

"Of course I will attack them all at once. No matter who it is, if they dare to plot against me, I will never let them off easily."

Nian Shilan looked at Yinzhen's expression at this moment, which was quite intriguing.

I will never let you off easily. It's easy to say, but I'm afraid that when that day really comes, Yinzhen will have to think twice.

Yinzhen did not stay overnight in Qingliang Palace. He was afraid that he could not help himself again, so he just said that he was going back to Jiuzhou Qingyan to rest after drinking tea.

Naturally, Nian Shilan would not try to keep him, she was content with the peace and quiet.

In her previous life, she wished she could be with Yinzhen all the time.

Yinzhen had a full meal and drank tea at Nian Shilan's place. He was not in a hurry to go back and just walked slowly in the garden.

Suddenly, a beautiful singing voice came from afar. Yinzhen stopped and listened for a while, but it didn't seem quite real.

So Yinzhen slowly walked in the direction where the singing came from.

"The overlapping hills are shining with golden light, and the clouds in my hair are about to cover the snow on my cheeks. I am too lazy to draw my eyebrows, and I am too slow to put on my makeup and wash.

Looking at the flowers in the mirror, the flowers are reflected in each other. Newly embroidered silk blouse, with two golden partridges

Yinzhen heard clearly what was being sung, and happened to walk to a corner, and heard a voice coming from that side.

It seemed like a palace maid was clapping and talking with a smile.

"Young lady, you sing really well~ Even this servant likes it very much."

Yinzhen paused, and Su Peisheng waved to the servants following behind him, telling them not to make a sound.

I just heard the young lady chuckle, seeming a little timid.

"Is it okay? I don't think so. I've been feeling a little sore in my throat lately.

It’s not a good idea to sing a few lines loudly in Bitong Academy, for fear of upsetting Sister Zhen.”

The palace maid looked somewhat disdainful.

"Hmph, if I were to ask you, why is the young lady afraid of Concubine Zhen? She is not favored by the emperor.
They always say sourly that you are favored because of your good voice. That day, I overheard it accidentally.

She is humming the song you like every day, but her voice is far inferior to yours.

Even if you want to rely on your good voice to win favor, it still depends on talent, and you have the talent."

Yinzhen recognized that this was An Changzai, who lived with Zhen Changzai in Bitong Academy. It sounded like she dared to sing here just to avoid Zhen Changzai's displeasure.

An Changzai's voice was somewhat annoyed as she scolded the servant.

"Don't make such jokes! Sister Zhen is just not in the right time. If she is favored one day,
She must be above me. My mother's family is far inferior to hers, and I heard that Sister Zhen's father is also highly valued in the court.

It’s a pity that she has been in the palace with me for three years, but she has not yet been favored by the emperor.

Sister Zhen is right. I was just lucky enough to win the emperor's favor because of my voice.

If the emperor gets tired of listening to me someday, I will just end up being a quiet concubine in the harem."

As An Chang spoke further, his voice became lower and lower, and he seemed to be getting depressed.

The servants around her were still talking, but Yinzhen had no intention of listening anymore. He left the place without saying a word and quickly returned to Jiuzhou Qingyan.

At the end of the Xu hour, Su Peisheng took people to Bitong Academy and conveyed the emperor's oral order, summoning An Changzai to sleep with him.

An Changzai's expression showed nothing unusual, and he seemed unperturbed by the fame or criticism. He just said that he was going to change his clothes and then left.

Su Peisheng said with a smile.

"My lady, please pack up first. I will go back to Jiuzhou Qingyan to report. A eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to pick you up in a while."

An Changzai took a purse from Baojuan and stuffed it into Su Peisheng's arms.

"Lingrong is very grateful to Eunuch Su for coming here in person. You can take this little gift and have some tea."

Su Peisheng smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, but he did not refuse. "You are too polite, my lady. This is my duty. I will not disturb you for now. Please clean up as soon as possible."

After seeing Su Peisheng off, Baojuan said happily.

"The Emperor likes you to wear bright colors. How about I change your green dress with oleander embroidered on it?"

An Changzai shook his head and looked down at his clothes, which were a half-new and half-worn pink dress with bamboo leaves.

"No need, just leave it like this, it's fine. The emperor likes my voice, not me as a person, so he doesn't care what I wear."

Baojuan opened her mouth and caught a glimpse of Zhen Changzai's door curtain moving on the other side from the corner of her eye. She knew that someone over there was listening to the noise.

An Changzai only asked Baojuan to change the velvet flower on her head and put on a plain silver hairpin that she seldom wore, and then waited for the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrive.

Baojuan guessed correctly, it was Huanbi who was listening behind the door curtain.

She turned around and went back into the house, looking at Zhen Changzai in embarrassment.

"My lady, you have to think of a way. Look at An Changzai, she is not pretty.
I didn’t come from a high background, but now I’m on equal footing with you.

If you continue like this, I'm afraid you may be crowned a noble one day, my lady."

Zhen Chang was holding a book in his hands, looking very calm, but his mind was not on the book at all.

"Let her go, what can I do? The emperor is dispensable to me.
I don’t have a voice as good as An Changzai’s, and I can’t do what she does.

The emperor doesn't favor me, so I can only be strong on my own. I heard that the queen is in good health,
I have to go pay my respects to the Queen tomorrow morning, so get some water, wash up, and go to bed early."

Huanbi was helpless about her mistress's attitude and stomped her feet out in anger.

Zhen Changzai raised his head and glanced at Huanbi's back, and said to Liu Zhu.

"What's the use of being anxious? We should still please the emperor."

Liu Zhu could only nod in agreement. After all, there was nothing that could be done about the fact that her young mistress had not been favored in the palace for three years.

Even though they, the servants, were often laughed at by other servants in the palace, they had to endure it.

Liu Zhu Dao.

"My lady, you will go to pay your respects to the Queen tomorrow. I will prepare clothes for you tonight."

Zhen Changzai's eyes fell on the book again and he just said.

"Just be casual. I'm not favored, so I should dress more modestly in front of the Queen."

On the night that An Changzai was in the emperor's chamber, all the women in the harem felt uncomfortable.

Although the emperor usually went to Concubine Hua's place more often, it was very rare for concubines of lower rank like An Changzai to enter Jiuzhou Qingyan to sleep with him.

A few days ago, Fu Changzai went to Jiuzhou Qingyan to serve in the emperor's bedchamber.

The next morning, Xiao Linzi came to report when Nian Shilan was getting dressed.

"Master, it was indeed An Changzai who slept with you last night, and she is also a very obedient person.

The emperor sang this song on his way back, and his heart was won over.

An Changzai said that she would come in person to thank the master for his guidance. "

Nian Shilan sat lazily, letting Lidong and Guyu comb her hair.

"That's because she has her own abilities, otherwise my daily guidance would be useless.

Tell her that she doesn't need to come to me unless she has something to do. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in two days.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor returned to the palace and the bride entered the palace. If she wanted the emperor's favor to last,
You have to seize the opportunity yourself. My guidance is limited.

Besides, I have my reasons for instructing her." (End of this chapter)
