The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 562: Early Discussion of the National Foundation
Yunli chose for a long time in the horse farm, but didn't pick one. However, he kept making small talk with Ye Lanyi who was following behind him.

“My brother said that this time he presented some good horses as tribute and let me pick one to ride.

But I have been looking for half a day and not a single one caught my eye.

They all seem to have strong personalities, but their appearance is not so good."

Ye Lanyi followed behind him and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I wonder what kind of horses the prince likes? In my opinion, the horses in this stable are

They are all the best. The best looks, the best temperaments. I guess the prince has really high standards.

If Your Majesty really doesn't like anyone, then please go back first.

When there is a better one, it won’t be too late for Your Majesty to come and choose.”

Yun Li was choked by Ye Lanyi's words. The temperament of this horse trainer was similar to the chestnut horse she had just trained.

Yunli didn't act pretentiously. He just said he would come back another day and then returned to the palace.

A Jin didn't understand. His prince didn't get to pick a horse he liked and was even scolded by a little horse trainer, but he wasn't in a hurry and was smiling all the way.

He touched his head, not understanding, but just followed closely.

Nian Gengyao looked at the secret letter in his hand, which was delivered by a pigeon. The letter said that the emperor had become suspicious and asked him to get better without leaving any trace.

So just as Yinzhen moved into the Old Summer Palace with his concubines, he heard someone report that Nian Gengyao climbed over the wall to escape from the Nian Mansion and return to the border to find his "father", but accidentally fell and hit his head.

Yinzhen was worried and immediately sent several imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to Nian's house, and also issued an oral order that Nian Gengyao's injury must be cured.

Nian Shilan still lived in Qingliang Palace, which was the coolest place in the Old Summer Palace.

The Fourth Prince is already ten years old and can no longer live with Nian Shilan, but that does not stop him from going to Qingliang Palace often to visit his six-year-old sister, Princess Wen Yi.

Nian Shilan watched the Fourth Prince and Princess Wen Yi playing in the yard, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and that smile looked extremely loving.

In her previous life, she didn't even dare to imagine such a warm and happy scene.

The eunuch outside shouted loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Nian Shilan stood up slowly, waved to her children who were playing around to come over, and went with her to greet Yinzhen who was getting off the sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well~"

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Highness!"

While Nian Shilan was paying her respects, the Fourth Prince had already pulled Princess Wen Yi down to their knees, and they greeted each other in unison.

Yinzhen looked at the mother and her two children and felt much happier.

"Get up quickly. I have nothing to do today, so I came to see you.

I didn't expect you all to be here. Has Hongli finished his homework today?"

The Fourth Prince, who had just stood up, immediately knelt down again and spoke respectfully when he saw Yinzhen asking him a question.

"In response to your Majesty's question, I have completed my homework for today.

But there are still one or two things I don't quite understand in what the teacher said.

It happened that the Emperor came, and the teacher told me every day,

The Emperor Father studies the most diligently, so why not ask him for advice?

Please give me some advice, Father Huang."

When Yinzhen saw the serious look on Fourth Prince's face, he suddenly missed the time when that little boy, as soft as a dumpling, used to cling to his arms.

He called the Fourth Prince and stretched out his hands to try to hug him, but he was powerless.

The Fourth Prince felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, as the Emperor was obviously still young.

He took two steps back and bowed.

"I have gained some weight recently, so it may take some effort for Your Majesty to lift me up. It is better to wait until Your Majesty is healthy again before you pick me up."

Yinzhen smiled and shook his head, then touched the Fourth Prince's head.

"Okay, I'll come hold you again when I recover. As for the homework you mentioned,
You should wait for the teacher to answer your questions tomorrow. I will not ask you about your homework today.

You finally get to visit your mother, why do you have to spoil the fun like this?"

A smile broke out on the Fourth Prince's face. He happily took his leave and took Princess Wen Yi to play somewhere else.

Nian Shilan stepped forward, took Yinzhen's arm, and went into the hall with him.

"I heard that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicts that this summer will be hot and humid.
The Emperor brought us to live in the garden early.
It just so happens that the Emperor is recuperating, and I have been worried sick these days."

Yinzhen sat down and smiled.

"It's my fault that Shilan is worried. However, I have used the elixir that Zhang Xianren gave me these days.

I feel much better than before. Doctor Wen took my pulse and said that I am getting stronger.

The children are still young, and for you and the children, I must get better as soon as possible."

Nian Shilan personally took the tea from Songzhi, blew on it first, took a sip, tested the water temperature, and then handed it to Yinzhen.

"This tea is dried just right. It is the Thousand Island Jade Leaf Tea that the Emperor likes. Please moisten your mouth with it."

Yinzhen took the tea with a smile, took a big sip, and handed the cup back to Nian Shilan.

"During the days when I was ill, Shilan has become much gentler.
You never tested the temperature of my tea before, and I would rather stay sick like this."

Nian Shilan couldn't help but give Yinzhen a blank look and put the cup heavily back on the plate held by Songzhi. The tea that Yinzhen had not finished drank spilled onto the tray.

"Your Majesty, can you please stop making jokes? Do you want to scare me to death?

Do you know how difficult it is for me to manage the harem these days?

I only hope that you will be well again in the next three minutes, just like before.
Walk lightly and be healthy! I depend on you for everything!"

Seeing that Nian Shilan was angry, Yinzhen quickly pulled her hand into his palm.

"Okay, okay, I won't say that anymore. You are the only one in the palace who dares to speak to me like that."

He paused and continued.

"But since you mentioned that there are many things going on in the palace, I do have a difficult matter to discuss with you."

Nian Shilan gently pulled her hand away, grabbed a handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears, and then spoke in a muffled voice.

"I may not be able to solve your worries, but I am willing to listen."

Yinzhen said.

"At the morning court today, a minister said that I only have two sons, the Third and Fourth Princes.

For the sake of the country, we should appoint a successor as soon as possible. What does Shilan think? "

When Nian Shilan heard this, her eyebrows raised.

"The person who said this should be beaten to death in court! The emperor is in his prime.

Why are we talking about the country so early? Besides, whether it is Hongshi or Hongli,

They are all still young and incompetent, and it is difficult for them to take on the responsibility of the Eastern Palace."

Yinzhen stared at Nian Shilan intently and said.

"I am over 40 years old this year, which should be the prime of my life, but I suddenly suffered a stroke.
The illness did not heal for a long time. People in the court could not help but worry about the future and the country.

The previous emperor had many sons and appointed a crown prince early on, which also made the crown prince a target of his brothers early on.

I am worried that no matter whether the eldest son or the most capable one is appointed as the heir, it will upset the other party.

I don’t want my sons to go through what I went through again.”
