The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua: I Want to Be the Queen

"Okay, okay! No need to talk anymore. I'll eat first. I've been so hungry these past few days! Look, look, I've lost a lot of weight! I have to make up for it!"

I responded directly to Songzhi's words and then continued my eating and drinking journey!

But to be honest, this small kitchen in the Yikun Palace is still my pride. It’s just that I was blind before and lost my appetite for that dog emperor. What a loss!

Big loss!

Now we have to make up for it all!

Seeing how happily I was eating, Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi stopped trying to persuade me. They just stood at the door and watched outside to see if the emperor would come!

I think they are both really loyal and nice to me, but I may have led them astray before. This time I will definitely keep you by my side!

So I said to them both:

"Come, both of you try it, this roasted lamb is so delicious!"

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai are both family slaves. They have followed me since the Nian family, so they know my temper. Although I may be different now than before, they know that I am sincerely asking them to come over to eat!

So they came over and just stood by, not sitting down to eat. Zhou Ninghai said softly:

"Your Highness loves you, and I know that. But this is the palace after all, so don't break the rules. If I get punished, it's a small matter, but don't let your Highness be upset because I'm punished and there's no one familiar to serve you. We can't bear the consequences!"

Anyway, I feel comfortable hearing this!

Seeing that I had no other objections, Songzhi served me the food very obediently and said:

"If your Majesty doesn't want to be bound by the rules, why don't we go to the General's Mansion? After all, that is your Majesty's home, you can be as comfortable as you want!"

Songzhi’s words reminded me that the Nian family still needs to be persuaded and resettled!

"Songzhi is right. I haven't seen my brother for so long. I wonder when I should go talk to him!"

So under my arrangement, my brother's wife entered the palace, and I met her in a side hall in the Yiku Palace where few people went!

"Sister-in-law!"

I bowed to the lady. You know, I used to look down on this woman. I thought she was only able to enjoy such wealth and glory thanks to her brother's contributions!

She is just a woman herself!

So when I was bowing, my sister-in-law came to me in panic, held me up, stopped me from bowing, and said:

"Your Majesty, why is this happening? Your Majesty, please tell us, how can we accept your courtesy? Please don't break the rules!"

After saying that, Madam Nian immediately bowed to me. I quickly took Madam Nian's hand, sat aside, and said kindly:

"I am so happy that my sister-in-law can come to the palace to see me today! Especially when I heard my brother talk about how knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous my sister-in-law is, I am even more yearning for her!"

Madam Nian seemed a little embarrassed by my praise. She covered her face with a handkerchief and said:

"Your Majesty, I am too kind to praise you. I am just a woman, doing my duty. How can I deserve such praise?"

"The prosperity of a family is closely related to the mistress, so sister-in-law, don't be too modest!"

As I spoke with a smile, I handed a plate of walnuts to Mrs. Nian.

Mrs. Nian understood what I meant, but she couldn’t understand my actions!

So I picked up a walnut and said:

“Walnuts are hard, but their kernels are delicious, so it’s inevitable that someone will smash the shell to get the kernel, and then the walnut will be lost. But if the walnut is right in front of someone, they will inevitably miss it, and they may even get angry because the shell is too hard. In the end, they are likely to destroy the walnut in anger, and then both the shell and the kernel will be gone.”
