If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Although Nian Shilan is arrogant, she is not a fool. Although she is happy about her promotion, her brother reminds her that Xianpin and others are obstacles.

"Come here, tell them that my brother brought me some specialties from the northwest, and invite them to come and have a look and taste them." Hua Fei said with a smile. She wanted to see if Xianpin and the others dared to go against her. "By the way, Xianpin, Shunpin, and Hepin, none of them can be missing."

Songzhi glanced at the determined look on the queen's face, responded and quietly left. She turned around and went to find Zhou Ninghai, told him about the matter and asked him to pass on the order, especially to Xianpin. Songzhi's heart was beating fast, she always felt that today was not a good day.

As a servant, it was not her business to consider these matters. Since the Empress had invited people from all the palaces, she just had to prepare tea, fruits, and the so-called Northwest specialties.

Zhou Ninghai, who was delivering the imperial edict, did not go to the nearest Yongshou Palace first, but to Yanxi Palace, Qixiang Palace and others. He waited until the last moment to knock on the door of Yongshou Palace.

When the eunuch who opened the door saw that it was Zhou Ninghai, he immediately opened the door with a smile and said, "Oh, it's Eunuch Zhou. What's the matter, Eunuch Zhou?" After opening the door, the eunuch mentioned Eunuch Zhou twice, and his voice was so loud that people in the gatehouses on both sides could hear it.

Zhang Qilin, who was resting in a corner room, became alert immediately after hearing the noise. He listened carefully to the noise outside.

"Where is Concubine Xian? My queen got some specialties from the northwest, and she specially asked me to invite Concubine Xian to taste them." Zhou Ninghai was about to walk in, but he didn't expect the eunuch from Yongshou Palace to dare to stop him. He saw that the eunuch was smiling so hard that his teeth were not visible, but he didn't move away, and he was a little unhappy, "Why, what does this mean? I came here to convey Concubine Gui's words, and you dare to stop me."

"What are you saying, Eunuch Zhou? Please don't scare me. I was just about to report to you that my young lady came in and couldn't get enough rest, so she just lay down for a nap." The young eunuch smiled apologetically, but there was no trace of timidity.

"I am telling you what the Imperial Concubine said. The young lady must see me, otherwise it would be impolite." Zhou Ninghai's face trembled slightly. He didn't realize until today that a eunuch who was the gatekeeper of Yongshou Palace dared to come so close to him.

"Eunuch Zhou, you have to wait for a moment, too. I have to pass on a message to the young lady to wash up." The young eunuch asked another young eunuch to go in and report. Zhang Qilin, who was standing next to him, also walked out leisurely, pretending to have just seen Zhou Ninghai and said, "Oh, Eunuch Zhou is here. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

Zhou Ninghai laughed when he saw Zhang Qilin. He realized that it was no wonder that the servants in Yongshou Palace were so arrogant. He had forgotten that there was such a master. "That's wrong, Eunuch Zhang. We live close to each other now. If you have time, go to my brother's place and I will treat you well."

"Oh, Brother Zhou, you mean that I, your little brother, am ignorant. Come, come, come inside and sit down." Zhang Qilin followed his words and took him into the corner room regardless of his excuses.

"Come on, come on, serve tea to Brother Zhou." You old boy dare to show off in front of me. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't even know your last name.

"Thank you for being polite, Brother Zhang. My lady should be almost done packing now. I'd better go and see her first." Zhou Ninghai didn't expect that even though he was being polite, he wasn't done yet.

"Brother Zhou, what are you talking about? You are here to tell the Imperial Concubine that you should pack up properly, otherwise it would be a neglect. It doesn't matter, let's have a cup of tea first. This is the snow-capped emerald that the Emperor gave to you. It doesn't seem to be much in total. Come on, come on, Brother Zhou, try it first."
