Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I came here specially to invite Your Majesty to have dinner at Yikun Palace. I have already prepared it. I wonder if Your Majesty would do me the honor."

Jingbai said this with a shy look on her face.

However, she herself didn't feel anything, but the emperor and Su Peisheng, among others, felt a little embarrassed.

"No need, I'm going to the Queen today."

The emperor glanced at Jing Bai again and said helplessly, "At your age, you should stop dressing so flamboyantly. It's not appropriate. What's more, you were born a monk, so this is even more inappropriate. I brought you into the palace, which is already a great honor for you. You must know how to behave yourself!"

Seeing Jingbai dressed like this, the emperor really couldn't help but scold her. It wouldn't be called a scolding, but it made Jingbai lose face.

Although Jingbai was angry, she couldn't show anything in front of the emperor.

"Yes, I understand. Then, Your Majesty, when will you come to Suiyuxuan?" Jingbai looked at the emperor and begged again and again, and it seemed that tears welled up in her old eyes.

"If I have time, I will go to see you."

After saying that, the emperor left, leaving Jingbai and Jing'an alone outside the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, making a fool of themselves.

Your Majesty, when will you have free time? You are so busy with state affairs every day, when will you have free time?

The people in Yikun Palace also knew that the emperor would come, and they prepared a large table of dishes early.

Compared with the meals in Yikun Palace, the meals in Suiyuxuan are certainly incomparable.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming soon. Do you want to heat up these meals?"

Songzhi looked at the dishes that were gradually getting cold and asked hurriedly, fearing that it would be too late after the emperor arrived.

"No need, just put it there."

Nian Shilan glanced at it lightly, looking nonchalant. Even if it was hot, so what? How much did the emperor eat each time? Some dishes might be eaten in one or two bites, and at most in three or four bites. If he didn't like the dishes, he would just not touch them at all. There was really no need to spend so much effort.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the emperor's carriage approaching.

"May the emperor be blessed with good health. I am still talking about this now. The emperor should be here soon."

Nian Shilan stood up and held the emperor's hand while saying, "Your Majesty, you came so late today, are you busy with government affairs?"

She asked this deliberately because she knew that the government affairs of the previous dynasty might be very busy. Now that her people were everywhere in the previous dynasty, she would definitely know about the slightest disturbance first. So no matter how busy the emperor was, how could he be busier than herself?

So, why did he come so late today? Was he doing something or was he wary of me?

"As soon as I left the Yangxin Palace, I ran into Concubine Jing, and was delayed for a while."

What the emperor said was true, and from his expression it was clear that he was helpless towards Concubine Jing.

"I heard from Jin Xi that Concubine Jing had already been to the Yangxin Palace in the afternoon. Why is she still..."

Nian Shilan's eyes were full of doubts.

The emperor didn't say anything, but Su Peisheng knew the most and quickly answered first: "Your Majesty, Jing Changzai went to the Yangxin Palace in the afternoon, but the emperor didn't see her, so I asked Changzai to go back first. I didn't expect that when the emperor came to the Yikun Palace just now, Jing Changzai suddenly knelt in front of the emperor. Even I was really scared!"

Su Peisheng's description was vivid, as if the scene was presented in front of Nian Shilan.

"It's interesting that Jingbai refuses to give up." Nian Shilan muttered to herself.

It seems that I really underestimated her.

But wasn’t the reason the Emperor was invited here today just for Jingbai’s promotion?

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty intends to promote you to Consort Jing?"

At the dinner table, Nian Shilan cautiously tested the emperor's intentions.

Hearing this, the emperor stopped chewing the food in his mouth and said, "Who said that?"

He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly and even reach the harem. Besides, he had no intention of promoting her to Jingbai.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that this matter is already known to everyone in the harem." Nian Shilan sneered, as if mocking the emperor's ignorance and also a challenge to the imperial power!

The emperor didn't say anything for a long time. He just lowered his head and glanced at Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng quickly left.

I guess he also felt that there were people who were not on the same side with him, whether it was the former dynasty or the harem. In short, every step he took in the future would be extremely dangerous.

What he feared most was being plotted against by the person next to him, but he didn't want to pin this on Nian Shilan. After all, she was the woman he had loved all his life, and he was sure that she would never do this!

But he didn't know that in his previous life, wasn't he also calculating the person next to him? Whether it was Shi Lan, Yi Xiu, or Zhen Huan, who hadn't been calculated by him? !

"I wonder what position the emperor intends to give Jing Chang. Do you want to re-draft her title? That way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can make arrangements."

"Promotion? Is she worthy of it?!" When Jingbai was mentioned, the emperor looked disdainful and full of disdain.

Thinking about the fact that Jingbai came to see me twice today, I guess it was probably about this matter.

"Jing Changzai should also know about this."

"I don't know about that." Nian Shilan didn't say anything about whether Jingbai knew about this or not. The emperor could think whatever he wanted. If he could think of it, it was his ability.

"It's just that Concubine Jing has just learned the etiquette today, but I really don't know how she learned it. She was the last one to pay respects. The whole harem is very dissatisfied. It would be inappropriate to promote her at this juncture." Nian Shilan said it tactfully, but to put it bluntly, she just didn't want Jing Bai to be promoted.

"Are you late for greetings? Really?"

Jingbai was not liked by the emperor to begin with, and now that the emperor knew that she was late in paying her respects, his impression of her was even worse.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Not only that, he also contradicted Concubine Wan." Songzhi said with exaggeration.

Songzhi naturally would not let go of the opportunity to report Jingbai.

"You want to talk back to Concubine Wan? You are so brave. Is Concubine Wan okay?"

Hearing that Zhen Huan was involved, the emperor felt a pain in his heart, after all, she was the apple of his eye.

"It's fine as long as I'm here, but I think Your Majesty should also go to Yongshou Palace to see Concubine Wan. After all, she just came back from Ganlu Temple and has been enduring rumors for Your Majesty. Your Majesty must make it up to Sister Wan."

Nian Shilan's words made the emperor feel very relieved, and he patted her hands and said: "It is Shilan who understands me. I have no regrets in my life to have Shilan's beloved wife."
