Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Seeing Concubine Qi like this, Nian Shilan smiled with satisfaction. She had had enough fun and didn't want to stay any longer. It was time to go see the Queen Mother. She bowed to the Queen and left.

After going to Jingren Palace and making the Queen and Concubine Qi angry, Nian Shilan was in a good mood and went to Shoukang Palace happily.

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

As soon as she entered the room, Nian Shilan saw the Queen Mother sitting alone on the couch, looking depressed and something was not right.

Nian Shilan thought about the emperor's visit to Yikun Palace last night. Since the queen knew about it, the queen mother should also be almost certain. Could it be because of this?

The Queen Mother glanced at Nian Shilan and said nothing. Nian Shilan bowed and stood up. Anyway, she and the Queen Mother were very familiar with each other, so the Queen Mother would not care about these things.

"Empress Dowager?!" Nian Shilan walked gently to the Empress Dowager and called out to her tentatively.

Although the Emperor went to Yikun Palace last night, the Empress Dowager still liked Nian Shilan and was not angry, but just a little helpless.

But it’s no wonder, the Queen Mother herself likes Nian Shilan, let alone the Emperor.

The empress dowager just smiled helplessly. Facing Nian Shilan in front of her, the empress dowager couldn't bear to blame her. After all, this was also the emperor's choice. What did she do wrong?

"You, you, although I intended to ask the emperor to go to Suiyuxuan last night, it is not something that can be forced after all. Concubine Fang is unwilling, and she has lost the emperor's heart."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "No wonder the Emperor likes you. I like you, too."

Originally, the Empress Dowager was unhappy when she first learned that the Emperor had gone to Yikun Palace, but she couldn't blame him in any way.

As for this news, the empress dowager knew about it as soon as the emperor went to Yikun Palace yesterday. After all, it was her intentional arrangement, so she would naturally send people to keep an eye on it, but the emperor just didn't know about it.

"It's good that the Queen Mother likes me. It's not because I'm so good, but because she's kind and treats me like a daughter. However, this is unfair to Sister Fang. She just lost her son. If she loses the Emperor's favor because of me, I will be unable to sleep or eat."

Nian Shilan deliberately said what the Queen Mother liked to hear. She had known the Queen Mother for so long, so she naturally knew best what the Queen Mother liked to hear.

After being reborn in this life, Nian Shilan has become a little more artificial than before. Although she is not really like this, in order to change the fate of the Nian family, she knows that she has to pretend when she should and restrain herself when she should.

"Alas, I can't blame you. It's indeed Concubine Fang's own problem. I thought it was because the emperor didn't want to see her. I arranged it, but she didn't seize the opportunity. This is not your fault. It's good that the emperor likes you. If..."

As the Queen Mother was talking, she suddenly stopped listening. Her expression instantly became sad.

Nian Shilan noticed it, but didn't ask any further questions, just pretending not to know.

In fact, based on the empress dowager's previous temperament, Nian Shilan also knew what the empress dowager wanted to say. If she continued, it should be about how great it would be if she gave birth to a child for the emperor. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, there would always be hope and someone to rely on.

However, this was ultimately the fault of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and she knew that she couldn't tell anyone about it.

Nian Shilan continued with the topic that Concubine Fang had just discussed and answered the Empress Dowager.

"I don't know when Lady Fang will be able to get over this knot in her heart."

Nian Shilan had a worried look on her face, and the Queen Mother believed it.

"You are a kind-hearted child. I heard before that Concubine Fang falsely accused you of killing her child. Although she was rude to you at the time and you punished her, I didn't expect that you would still care about her so much now. Do you really not care?"

The Queen Mother couldn't say that she completely believed it. In this palace, people are full of scheming and calculation. She didn't believe that Nian Shilan didn't care. She also didn't believe that Concubine Fang slandered Nian Shilan. So she remained neutral.

As for what is going on between these two people, I still need to pay attention and take more look.

"The Queen Mother would always make fun of me. How could I understand what is magnanimous? Concubine Fang is also pitiful. She just lost her child, so it is inevitable that she is emotionally unstable. We are sisters, so why should I care about these things? I also experienced the pain of losing a child at that time, so I naturally understand Concubine Fang."

As Nian Shilan spoke, she could not help but bring up her miscarriage. She knew the Queen Mother did not want to hear it, but she wanted to say it so that she would always remember the revenge of losing her son.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard Nian Shilan mention her previous miscarriage, she stopped talking.

After all, this thing has been done, and she feels guilty about it and doesn't want to mention it again. In fact, every time Nian Shilan mentioned this matter, the Queen Mother always avoided it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Alas, there are indeed too few people in the harem. Look at the emperors in the past. Which one didn't have three palaces and six courtyards? Look at the emperor again. This is too few. He is buried in state affairs all day long and does not put his offspring first. This is not acceptable. I am also wondering if there is no one in the palace that the emperor likes."

Speaking of offspring, it is also what the Queen Mother cares about most. As she gets older, she likes children even more.

Seeing that the emperor's children could not be born one by one, the emperor was not anxious, but the empress dowager was.

Nian Shilan probably understood what the Queen Mother meant. Calculating the time, the selection day would come in a few days. I guess the Queen Mother meant the same thing.

"I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks? Is there a suitable candidate?"

Nengnian Shilan tentatively asked the Queen Mother if she could bring it up herself so that the selection of concubines could be a natural process.

It's really time to meet Zhen Huan. I'm a little excited. After all, we've just met. I hope you're doing well...

"I don't have any favorite, but according to the rules of our ancestors, a new emperor must be selected after ascending the throne. I don't know what the emperor thinks. I have mentioned it before. He always said that he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable, so it was not suitable for a selection."

What the Queen Mother said was indeed true. In the previous life, the emperor had just ascended the throne and was holding a general election, and the rest of the candidates, only two or three, were arranged into the palace.

It seems that the Queen Mother can't wait for the Emperor to take in a new wife. It doesn't matter to me and I don't care about it. I just wonder if the Queen will have a headache again.

Nian Shilan wanted to laugh when she thought of the Queen having a headache. In fact, it might not be a real headache, she just didn't want to face it or see it.
