Chapter 257 The Emperor Arrives at Yikun Palace

In Yikun Palace, when Concubine Hua knew that the emperor was coming, he was about to enter the palace. She happily greeted the emperor, "Long live the emperor."

The emperor helped Concubine Hua stand up and asked jokingly, "I can only come here after I finish reading the memorials on hand. Is it too late?"

"As long as Your Majesty's heart is here, it is never too late. I'm waiting for you." Concubine Hua shyly cast a coquettish glance at the emperor.

The emperor took Concubine Hua and walked towards the bedroom, saying as he walked, "So I have to come here no matter how late it is."

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Hua was even more delighted. To her, this proved that the emperor really cared about her. "Your Majesty must be tired after reading memorials all day." After saying that, she brought the ginseng tea that had been prepared long ago to the emperor who was sitting on the bed.

"You didn't know I was coming today, why did you prepare this?" The emperor took the ginseng tea and drank it while thinking, could there be a traitor around him?

"I have been looking forward to the emperor's coming all the time, so I have been preparing it all the time."

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little guilty when Concubine Hua spoke so affectionately. "With your kindness, I will definitely think of you even if I don't come."

Concubine Hua took the teacup that the emperor had finished drinking and put it aside and said, "I see that the emperor is in a good mood today, but is there any happy event in the previous dynasty?" Judging from the current situation in the harem, as long as there are no unexpected events, it can be considered a happy event. Therefore, what can make the emperor so happy must not be something related to the harem.

"In the war in the southwest, your brother and your nephew have made great contributions to me. I plan to reward your brother with a first-class meritorious position. Your father, Nian Xialing, is already a first-class duke, and I will give him the title of Taifu in addition," the emperor said, looking at Concubine Hua's expression without blinking, "As for your brother's previous first-class male hereditary position, it will be inherited by his second son, Nian Fu. I will also give your mother the title of a second-rank imperial lady. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Concubine Hua couldn't help laughing. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. "Thank you, Your Majesty." But she didn't look up to see the sneer on the emperor's lips.

If her brother Nian Gengyao was here, he would not be as happy as she was. After all, although his contributions were true, if he was rewarded so much at once, what would he be rewarded with in the future? When the emperor had nothing more to offer and nothing to reward, it would be dangerous. At that time, all emperors would be on guard against someone who was more meritorious than the emperor, and would prepare to cook the dog away after the rabbit died.

"I think that Concubine Wan was wronged because of Shunpin's death. To comfort her, I plan to promote her father." To start a discussion, the emperor first made Concubine Hua happy and then talked about promoting Concubine Wan's father.

After the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Hua stopped smiling and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think that Concubine Wan's father is disrespectful?"

"I have punished him. If you don't like it, I will let him stay in the Censorate and just promote him to the position of Censor-in-Chief. How do you think that is?"

It seemed that the emperor was asking for his opinion, but Concubine Hua knew that she could not refuse, so she replied, "I dare not disobey the emperor's order. As long as Lady Wan is happy, it's fine."

Hearing the answer that satisfied him, the emperor couldn't help but smile, "It's rare that you are so sensible. I will give you a promotion when there is a chance."

Concubine Hua had never thought that she would have the opportunity to advance further in rank, and she was touched. "I only wish to be with the emperor all the time, and I don't care about rank or wealth."

If Zhen Huan heard what Concubine Hua said, she would sigh that not only did she throw away her emotions in her previous life, but also in this life!!
