Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Now that Concubine Fang has given birth to a stillborn baby, the Third Prince's future has one less competitor. Concubine Qi, you can rest easy now."

The Queen was talking to Concubine Qi alone in Jingren Palace.

Since the child was not born, Concubine Qi was naturally happier than anyone else. "Your Majesty, I dare not say that I can rest easy. After all, Concubine Xin is pregnant with another one."

Concubine Qi's ambition is too big. Is she going to kill all the emperor's children just for the third prince?

"What? Do you have any other ideas?" The Queen asked, looking at Concubine Qi's smiling face.

"I don't dare."

"Now that Concubine Fang's child is gone, the Emperor is also sad. I hope Concubine Xin's child can be born safely. Amitabha."

The queen said hypocritically.

As the queen, she wanted the emperor to be happy and did not want her rights to be threatened. However, between the two, she chose the latter.

Ever since Concubine Fang found out that the baby she gave birth to was stillborn, she has been devastated. The Sui Yuxuan, which was not lively to begin with, has become even more deserted.

The emperor also consulted Imperial Physician Zhang about this matter, and just like with Chun Yuan's miscarriage, the Imperial Physician couldn't explain it either.

Since the child has been born in Sui Yuxuan, there is no need for her to rest in Yikun Palace. Gradually, Nian Shilan started to walk around again.

"I pay my respects to the Empress." Nian Shilan went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects early in the morning. She hadn't been out for more than half a month, and she was bored staying in Yikun Palace.

"Get up quickly." said the queen with a smile.

"I haven't seen my sister for more than half a month. She looks better than before."

The queen praised her beauty, and Nian Shilan touched her face subconsciously, "Thank you, Queen. I have been resting for more than half a month without seeing the sun, so naturally my face is whiter than before."

Looking at Nian Shilan's smug look, the Queen only regretted that this time the incident with Concubine Fang was not blamed on Nian Shilan, so she didn't kill two birds with one stone.

Pity.

"Now, Concubine Fang has lost her child. She was unlucky after all. The Emperor is also very sad. Alas, he can only hope that Concubine Xin will be born in her belly." The Queen sighed and said,

Only Concubine Qi listened to the Queen's words foolishly and obeyed them blindly, while everyone else just ignored them and let them go in one ear and out the other.

When Concubine Fang was mentioned, the first thing that came to Concubine Duan’s mind was the shocking dead fetus!

It’s not that Concubine Fang is unlucky. If she were really unlucky, she probably wouldn’t be able to conceive a child.

"Your Majesty, I have just recovered and am still feeling a little unwell. I cannot stay outside for a long time. Please forgive me for not staying any longer."

The Queen said these words every day, so Nian Shilan didn't want to stay here any longer and didn't want to see the Queen's face.

Nian Shilan has always been like this, and the queen knows it. Since she said she wanted to leave, the queen didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement.

After a slight bow, Nian Shilan left without looking back.

Seeing Nian Shilan's frivolous look, Concubine Qi couldn't help but mutter something.

"Look at her. She dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Queen. She really doesn't know how to write the four words 'obedient and law-abiding'."

Even though Nian Shilan had left Jingren Palace, she still heard Concubine Qi muttering this when she reached the door.

Songzhi also heard it clearly: "My queen."

I was afraid that Nian Shilan would be angry, so I tried to coax her.

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes, not caring in her heart. With Concubine Qi's mouth, what good words could she say?

"Let's go to Shoukang Palace. It's been a while since I last visited the Queen Mother."

During the days when I was recuperating at home, I didn't know how the Empress Dowager was doing. She usually drank tonics all the time. And now that Concubine Fang had given birth to a stillbirth, I thought the Empress Dowager's condition would not be very good.

Nian Shilan thought that it would be good for her to go and accompany the Queen Mother more often. What she had to do was to make the Queen Mother like her.

It was normal for Nian Shilan to accompany the Queen Mother, and Songzhi also accompanied her every day.

"After all, it is the Queen who is the most filial. In the entire harem, it is the Queen who goes there most frequently. Every day, it is the Queen who accompanies the Queen Mother. Even the Emperor cannot do this."

Nian Shilan went to accompany the Queen Mother every day, and even when Songzhi met the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother seemed more amiable. I think it was because the Queen Mother loved Songzhi and her family as well.

That's good, as it saves Jianqiu from being overbearing all day long by relying on the fact that her master is the queen.

Nian Shilan curled the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, pulled her clothes, and was supported by Songzhi to go to Shoukang Palace.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and happiness."

As soon as she entered Shoukang Palace, Nian Shilan saw the empress dowager sitting on the couch in frustration. She didn't look very well and thought it must be because of the incident with Concubine Fang.

Yes, originally this Concubine Fang was recommended by the Empress Dowager. Now that she has turned out like this, how can the Empress Dowager feel good about it?

Seeing that it was Nian Shilan who came, the wrinkles on the Queen Mother's face relaxed a little, but she didn't force a smile at all. It was not surprising, as her own grandson was stillborn, so it was natural that she couldn't smile.

"Hua Fei, you haven't come to my Shoukang Palace for some time." The Queen Mother's tone was flat. There was no sign of anger in her voice, but more of kindness and gentleness.

"The Queen Mother said that I just left the Yikun Palace today. I came to see the Queen Mother right after paying my respects to the Queen. I am thinking about her all the time."

As she spoke, Nian Shilan walked over and placed the Queen Mother's hand on her chest. Her heart was beating strong and powerful.

Perhaps because she had been with the Queen Mother for a long time, Nian Shilan no longer had so many rules when dealing with her, and the Queen Mother did not blame her.

Seeing Nian Shilan being so naughty, the Queen Mother's face also looked much happier.

He scratched Nian Shilan's nose lovingly and said, "You, you are the best at making me happy."

On weekdays, Shoukang Palace is deserted. It is only when Nian Shilan comes that it becomes lively.

"Alas, Concubine Fang's child is gone. In the final analysis, it is because the emperor is unlucky. He does not have even a fraction of the number of children that the late emperor had."

This matter has been bothering the Empress Dowager for some time, but fortunately there is still Concubine Xin. Now the Empress Dowager only hopes that Concubine Xin's child can be born safely, which can be considered a happy event.

Nian Shilan has known the Queen Mother for many years, so she naturally knows how to comfort her.

"Don't say that, Queen Mother. The late emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, and the emperor has only been on the throne for a few years. It's still early, and there are still many days to come. Queen Mother, you will definitely have many children and grandchildren, so you can just wait and enjoy your old age."

Nian Shilan's words made the Queen Mother very happy, and she continued, "Queen Mother, have you taken your medicine today?"
