The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 6 Intentional Encounter
Songzhi ran back to Nian Shilan holding a bag of crispy biscuits wrapped in oil paper. When Nian Shilan glanced at the time, she heard the sound of galloping horses approaching from afar.

The servant following behind her wanted to pull Nian Shilan away in panic, but he slipped on the snow on the roadside. Fortunately, a steady embrace protected his young lady.

After the cavalry passed by, the figure released the long arms that were protecting Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan pretended to be frightened and looked up. What she saw was a man in a crow-colored robe with ochre-yellow embroidery on the cuffs. He was standing there tall and graceful. He was the fourth prince Yinzhen.

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan and chuckled, "I thought you were very brave, but it turns out you are also afraid."

Nian Shilan raised her hand to tidy up the loose hair on her temples, then bowed to the Fourth Prince.

Her tone was respectful but also a little casual: "Thank you, Lord Beile, for saving my life. I am not afraid of being trampled to death by the horse, but I am afraid that I will not be able to dodge in time and ruin Lord Beile's intentions."

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan calmly, then turned sideways to the restaurant opposite, and Su Peisheng quickly led the way.

Yinzhen turned around and said to Nian Shilan, "Since the young lady is so intelligent, would you be so kind as to have a chat in a private room?" After saying that, he walked towards the restaurant.

Nian Shilan didn't say anything, but just gestured for Songzhi to follow her.

The two servants hurriedly cleaned up the mess, while they were trembling in their hearts about what kind of punishment they would receive when they returned home.

But the eldest lady didn't let them follow, so they could only wait anxiously downstairs.

The restaurant has three floors. The first floor is for ordinary people to sit, and the second floor is the private rooms. When Nian Shilan followed the Fourth Prince to the third floor, she could hear the occasional conversations of the guests on the second floor.

The Fourth Prince walked all the way to the third floor. The shopkeeper opened the only private room on the third floor and respectfully invited the Fourth Prince and Nian Shilan in. The Fourth Prince was accompanied by Su Peisheng, and Nian Shilan was accompanied by Song Zhi.
