After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 40: Please turn over the card

Nian Gengyao said anxiously: "You and I are brothers and sisters, why do you need to beg? Get up."

Concubine Hua couldn't get up.

"Unless you agree to my request, I won't be able to afford it."

Nian Gengyao sighed, "Okay, brother promises you, you can get up eventually."

When Concubine Hua heard what Nian Gengyao said, she stood up and sat back in her chair.

"Brother, I hope that after you put down the rebellion of Lobsang Danjin, you can hand over the military power to the emperor and retire to the countryside."

When Concubine Nian Geng heard this, she became furious and asked, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Concubine Hua had long expected Nian Gengyao to have such a reaction.

"Brother, what I said is all sober words. I hope that if you can quell the rebellion of Lobsang Danjin, you can retreat bravely. This is the safest way to preserve you and the Nian family."

Nian Gengyao clenched his fists and looked at Concubine Hua coldly.

"Sister, you should know that the glory of the Nian family was fought for by me, your brother. Do you know how many wounds your brother has? You want me to retreat at this moment? It's impossible!"

"Brother, but you clearly promised your sister just now!" Hua Fei didn't expect that Nian Gengyao would go back on his word, and she didn't expect that Nian Gengyao would be so obsessed with fame.

"Everything else is easy to talk about, but this is not the only thing I can do! I fought bloody battles on the battlefield, hoping to bring honor to our family one day and let the Nian family enjoy endless wealth and glory. Besides, if I retire, you will have a hard time staying in this palace!"

"Brother, if these honors cost you your life, will you still insist on having them?" Concubine Hua asked tearfully.

"Sister, you are so worried. Am I not standing right beside you now? If I hadn't stopped the Fourteenth Master outside Beijing, the current emperor might not have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly!"

"General Nian, shut up!" Concubine Hua had reached the point where she could no longer tolerate her brother Nian Gengyao's arrogance. "You must keep these words to yourself! Otherwise, if the emperor hears about them, I can't protect you!"

Hua Fei's call of "General Nian" was so powerful that Nian Gengyao was slightly startled.

But, it was only for a moment.

Nian Gengyao stood up and bowed to Concubine Hua.

"That's right. Your Majesty is now the Emperor's woman, so naturally she will speak in his favor. No wonder you want me to retire. Are you afraid that I will become too powerful and threaten the Emperor's position?"

"If you were not my biological brother, why would I personally host a banquet and speak to you from the bottom of my heart in private? If you and I were not siblings, why would I risk the emperor's suspicion and tell you these things about the past? If I wanted to harm you, I would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

When Concubine Hua was moved, her blood boiled and her whole face turned red.

When Nian Gengyao saw her like this, he realized that he had said something wrong.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will remember what you said."

Seeing Nian Gengyao kneeling down to her, Concubine Hua felt bad. She helped Nian Gengyao up and said earnestly, "Brother, I hope you will remember what I said to you today."

Nian Gengyao uttered an "Ah".

The meal ended unpleasantly.

The news that Nian Gengyao was promoted to General Fuyuan spread quickly throughout the capital, and those who wanted to curry favor with him almost broke down his door.

"Your Majesty, the Nian Mansion was still brightly lit until evening, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going." Xia Qian reported what he had investigated to the emperor.

The emperor placed the red pen heavily on the table and said, "Got it. Go away."

After Xia Qian left, the emperor finished reviewing the last few memorials and then called Su Peisheng.

"What was Nian Gengyao's expression when he came out of Yikun Palace today?"

Su Peisheng bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, General Nian looked very unhappy after he left the Yikun Palace."

The emperor frowned slightly, "Hasn't Nian Gengyao always had a good relationship with Concubine Hua? How could he not be happy to see his beloved sister?"

Su Peisheng shook his head, "I seem to have heard that the brother and sister had a big fight."

The emperor was curious, "They actually quarreled? Why?"

Su Peisheng frowned and thought for a moment, "I don't know about this."

The emperor put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of Yikun Palace, "Let's go see Concubine Hua."

Su Peisheng was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, you forgot that you had an appointment with the Queen to have dinner and sleep in Jingren Palace."

After Su Peisheng's reminder, the emperor slapped his head and realized that this was indeed the case.

"Okay, let's go to Jingren Palace."

Jingren Palace.

The queen stretched her neck and finally the emperor arrived.

"This is the old duck soup that I made especially for you." The queen served the emperor the soup and handed it to him.

The emperor took a few sips and smacked his lips in satisfaction.

"The Queen's skill in making soup is getting better and better."

The queen was delighted to be praised by the emperor.

"As long as the emperor likes it." The queen looked at the emperor's face lovingly and picked up some food for him carefully.

The emperor was indeed tired after being busy with government affairs these days. In addition, the food cooked by the queen was quite to his taste, so he ate an extra bowl of rice.

Seeing that the emperor was enjoying his meal, the queen signaled to Jiang Fuhai who was standing at the door with her eyes.

Jiang Fuhai immediately walked out quietly.

After a while, the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Jingren Palace and knelt before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has spoken. The affairs of the previous dynasty are important, but it is also important to continue the royal family's lineage..."

"I know!"

The emperor's appetite was completely gone after seeing the pile of signs presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then angrily threw it in the face of the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so frightened that he knocked his head to the ground, but his hands were still tightly holding the wooden tray that contained the sign.

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and it is a good time to have many children. I am old and can no longer share your worries, but there are several new sisters in the harem, so Your Majesty should not neglect them."

The queen quietly glanced at the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department. The eunuch looked up and presented a pile of cards to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, please turn over the cards."

The emperor glanced at the sign impatiently.

He knew that the Queen Mother meant that he should not go to Concubine Hua's place tonight. If he did not go to Concubine Hua's place, he would go to Zhen Huan's Sui Yu Xuan.

But he found that there was no nameplate of Zhen Huan on it, so he asked the Queen. The Queen explained that Zhen Huan's illness had not yet recovered, and she was afraid that the disease would be passed on to him, so she didn't put it up.

The emperor was helpless and pointed at Noble Lady Fucha.
