Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"It is I who want to keep her. Could it be that the Queen wants her to disobey me?"

The emperor's words frightened the queen so much that she quickly knelt on the ground.

But I didn’t expect that the emperor would be so protective of Wang Jin.

Seeing the Queen asking for trouble, Concubine Hua smiled.

But the queen was the queen after all, and she had the support of the empress dowager behind her. The emperor just said a few simple words and did not punish her.

The emperor took a look at the queen's face and continued, "Since everyone is here today, there is no need to ask Su Peisheng to go to the six palaces to pass the message. Today, Prince Jin will be the noble lady, and she will have all the dues. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select two capable people to serve by her side. How can we do without someone to serve us?"

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

Wang Jin finally regained favor, but he was not really happy in his heart.

"Now that my sister has been promoted to a noble lady, I would like to congratulate her."

The queen said to Wang Jin with a smile, but no one knew how much hatred she felt in her heart.

Now she suddenly regained favor and was promoted to a higher position. Now she is a noble lady, then a concubine, a concubine, and a noble concubine. It is really getting more and more difficult to deal with her.

"There's nothing else to do. Let's go back. I'll go see the Queen Mother."

The emperor also didn't want to stay with the queen any longer, so he went to Shoukang Palace and asked everyone to go back.

"My son, please pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

"Hurry up and get up. The emperor has been on a long trip to Sichuan and must be tired."

Looking at the emperor in front of her, the empress dowager couldn't help but feel a little distressed. After all, he was her son, how could she not love him?

"It's okay. It's my fault that I haven't visited the Empress Dowager for a long time. I should come and accompany the Empress Dowager more often."

Seeing the emperor say this, the empress dowager naturally understood.

"State affairs are more important. The emperor is right. It's good enough that you can come and see me when you have time. If you really feel that I'm lonely, then the most important thing is to give me more grandchildren."

It’s not necessarily that she was lonely. During the days when the emperor was away from the palace, Longkodo often came, but the empress dowager couldn’t tell anyone about this guy.

"Speaking of which, my son has some good news to tell the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager wants a grandson, and I just happened to find out yesterday that Concubine Fang is pregnant, but I haven't had time to tell the Empress Dowager.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

I don’t know what the good news the emperor said is.

"I just found out yesterday when my son came back that Concubine Fang is pregnant. It won't be long before the Empress Dowager will be able to hold her grandson."

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was extremely happy to hear the news, as there had not been any happy events in the palace for a long time.

Now that Concubine Fang is pregnant, it is a great joy.

"Zhu Xi, pass on my imperial decree."

"Noble Lady Fang, Tong Jia, is pregnant, so she is exempted from paying respects to the Empress Dowager every day. Let her take good care of the baby."

The Queen Mother gave some instructions and then said, "Pick two more pieces of the best ginseng and send them to her."

After all, the emperor has few children, and Concubine Fang is pregnant, so the empress dowager naturally attaches great importance to it.

The Yiku Palace on Nian Shilan's side was also quite lively.

Ever since Wang Jin regained favor and was promoted to a noble lady, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been running back and forth, and has been extremely busy.

In addition, Huang Guiquan, the general manager of the Imperial Household Department, was a distant relative of Concubine Hua. Knowing that Concubine Hua and Wang Jin were on good terms, he naturally did not dare to neglect her in the slightest and did everything personally.

The rewards to Wang Jin's house kept coming like water.

"Ever since the last time the Empress told him about this, Huang Gui has finally grown sensible."

Songzhi accompanied Concubine Hua at the door, watching the lively scene in the courtyard.

"Hmph. If he continues to be ignorant, he won't know what is good for him." Nian Shilan smiled arrogantly.

Nian Shilan's temper has always been like this. If someone makes Nian Shilan unhappy, then that person will not be happy either.

Seeing Huang Guiquan busying around, he has indeed become much more sensible, and it is worth his efforts to get him the position of General Manager of the Imperial Household Department.

"My dear, these are the servants carefully selected from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve you. They are all smart and capable, with clean backgrounds. You can rest assured."

Huang Guiquan acted servile in front of Wang Jin, but it was no wonder. When Wang Jin fell out of favor before, he had deducted a lot of her things. Now that she was back in favor, he was really afraid that she would vent her anger on him.

"Thank you, eunuch." Wang Jin thanked Huang Guiquan with a smile and took out a silver ingot and gave it to Huang Guiquan.

After all, Wang Jin was a lady from a wealthy family, and she didn't care about what Huang Guiquan had done before.

Huang Guiquan was flattered by this, but he was hesitant to accept the money. He didn't know Wang Jin well and was afraid that Wang Jin would find ways to retaliate against him.

Naturally he was extremely cautious, and in a way, it was also his own fault.

"Please accept it, eunuch. Let's not talk about the past. I will live in this palace and will inevitably trouble you in the future. I hope you don't mind the trouble."

Seeing that Huang Guiquan was reluctant to accept the gift, Wang Jin probably knew his concerns, so he said these words to comfort him.

Putting aside the past grudges, Huang Guiquan finally felt relieved.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."

Huang Guiquan thanked Wang Jin like a dog. "From now on, if you have any orders from the young master, just come to me and I will do my best."

All of this was seen by Concubine Hua who was not far away, but she didn't say anything, nor was she angry. She just watched quietly without saying a word.

Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan motionlessly, thinking that it must be that bastard Huang Guiquan's appearance that made his master angry.

Just as he was about to step forward to teach him a lesson, he was stopped by Nian Shilan.

"Songzhi, I'm fine, you don't need to go."

Songzhi felt a little distressed when looking at Nian Shilan. Why did her master seem to have changed her temper? She would definitely not let Huang Guiquan off in a while.

"Miss."

"I just can't understand why Wang Jin is so magnanimous. She can even let go of what Huang Guiquan did to her before. Am I too harsh compared to her? But if I were not like this, would the ending be different?"

Nian Shilan looked a little absent-minded, as if talking to herself, and no one knew who she was talking to.

Songzhi was also a little confused. What ending was the queen talking about? But seeing Nian Shilan like this, Songzhi still felt distressed. If she didn't comfort her master, who else could she comfort?

"What are you talking about, my dear queen. You are the queen, one-of-a-kind. There is no need to compare yourself with others. In the heart of this servant, you are the best."

Songzhi supported Nian Shilan and tugged her clothes thoughtfully, saying, "What's wrong with you today, Madam? You are saying such sad words."

Songzhi has been with Nian Shilan the longest. Nian Shilan had never said such things before. I wonder what kind of blow the queen has suffered.

Or maybe something unhappy happened recently, but I don’t know what it is.
