Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Before Nian Shilan could reply, Nian Gengyao had already left, for fear that Nian Shilan would accuse him of not following the rules again.

"General Nian really loves your Majesty. This servant of yours truly envies you. Your Majesty has always been spoiled by General Nian since she was a child. Even now that she has entered the palace, it is still the same."

Looking at the brother-sister relationship between Nian Shilan and Nian Gengyao, Songzhi joked.

"Yes, my brother has always loved me the most, but now I don't need his help."

Nian Shilan continued, "That's fine. The money in the palace is indeed too little. There are many places in the palace where money is needed. It's all thanks to my brother for helping me."

When Nian Shilan had been living in the Nian family, she had spent a lot of money. Everything she ate, used, and wore was of the best quality. After entering the palace, it was inevitable that she would not have enough money.

After all, the emperor has so many women in the palace, so naturally the money has to be shared and spent. It is naturally not like before in the Nian Mansion, where she had to give in to everything.

Naturally, my father and elder brother would treat me like the apple of their eye, pampering me, but the emperor might not be the same. He would go to this place today and that place tomorrow.

Nian Shilan knew in her heart that the emperor's favor was actually the most unreliable, and her own family had to be powerful to win the emperor's favor. However, she couldn't be too conspicuous, after all, the imperial family was the most suspicious.

Nian Gengyao went back, and Nian Shilan hurriedly carried out the tasks assigned to her by the Queen Mother.

"Eunuch Su, please tell him the message."

Nian Shilan walked up to Su Peisheng again and said politely.

"Hey."

Su Peisheng agreed with a smile and went in.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is outside."

"Hurry up and ask her to come in. It's windy outside."

When the emperor heard that Concubine Hua was coming, he quickly put on a smiling face and put the affairs of state aside.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Get up, get up. How long have you been here?"

The emperor pulled Nian Shilan up and asked with concern. Dealing with state affairs was boring. If he had known that Concubine Hua was coming, he would have let Nian Gengyao and Longkodo leave long ago.

"It's okay, it only takes a quarter of an hour. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, I am willing to wait."

Nian Shilan said in a very sensible manner.

The current Nian Shilan has a very good grasp of the emperor. She is occasionally willful, but also knows her limits. Adding on, she is considerate, sensible and knows the big picture, which makes the emperor unable to let go of her.

Originally, Nian Shilan was the most favored among the six palaces just by virtue of her stunning looks, and now with her personality complementing her, no one in the harem can compare to her.

"You've been here for so long, why didn't you let Su Peisheng pass on the message so that I could see you earlier."

In this way, it became Su Peisheng's fault.

Nian Shilan said quickly, "Your Majesty, it's not Eunuch Su's fault. Your Majesty has important matters to attend to, so how can you let a little girl like me delay state affairs? If that happens, it will really be my fault."

"I know that Shilan is the most sensible person."

The emperor patted Nian Shilan's hand and continued, "Why did you think of coming to the Yangxin Palace today?"

Now the emperor asked about the real matter. Nian Shilan basically didn't come to the Yangxin Palace unless she had anything to do.

Although the emperor gave me the privilege of entering and leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity at any time, I also knew that I had to avoid suspicion. Although the emperor might not care now, he would inevitably become wary after a long time.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong. I just missed you and came to see you. Could it be that Your Majesty will not come to the harem to see me, and will not allow me to come to see you?"

Nian Shilan had a proud little expression on her face as she poured water for the emperor and said that she knew the emperor would be happy if she said that.

"The weather is getting warmer now, and the flowers are blooming. It would be nice for me to go out and walk around. It's spring now, and it's a time of life."

"Yes, it is spring, but I don't see anything lively." The emperor sighed lightly and looked out the window again. There seemed to be a hint of sadness between his brows.

"Is the Emperor worried about Concubine Fang?" Nian Shilan asked tentatively.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, he probably agreed. Nian Shilan continued, "In fact, Your Majesty can add a few more sisters to the harem, so that there will be more people to continue your offspring. If it were me, the sisters in the harem are all old people in the palace, and it's time for Your Majesty to choose some new ones."

The moment Nian Shilan said this, the emperor's face changed. He didn't know why she would say such a thing. Her thoughtfulness made the emperor a little unhappy.

The emperor was also thinking, Hua Fei said this, could it be that Hua Fei didn't care about him? Or was it because of something else? In short, he should not be important in her heart.

"Newcomer, do you want me to choose a newcomer?"

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with a smile on his face, but it was not from the heart. Nian Shilan looked at him, as if no matter what answer she gave, it would not necessarily please the emperor, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Nian Shilan thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't want to choose a new person, but he is afraid that I will be unhappy and jealous."

Nian Shilan joked. Although she didn't know whether the emperor would be angry if she said this, it was safer than answering "yes" or "no".

The emperor's expression immediately calmed down, and he said seriously: "If this is true, what should Shilan do?"

This really stumped Nian Shilan. Just now outside the Yangxin Palace, she had thought countless times about how to tell the emperor about this matter, but she had never expected the emperor to say it like this.

I don't quite understand the emperor in front of me. What is this? Is he affectionate to me? Why didn't he do it earlier? The belated affection is cheaper than grass. Even children know this, let alone Nian Shilan.

But it’s better this way. Maybe he won’t be so protective of Zhen Huan in the future.

"Your Majesty, please stop joking with me. Shilan knows that your Majesty has me in his heart, and I also have you in my heart. It's just that I have been with your Majesty for so long, and I haven't been able to give birth to a child for you. It's really my fault. I thought that if I could select a few more sisters to enter the palace, firstly, it would be more lively, and secondly, there would be more people to give birth to your children. Wouldn't that be better?"

After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with this set of excuses. To be honest, the task assigned by the Queen Mother is really difficult to handle. But if the Emperor really doesn't want to do it, then I have really tried my best.

"Or I'll say you know the big picture."

The emperor did not say anything else, but the expression on his face was much more relaxed than before, and he even looked smiling.

It is true that men are fickle creatures, and are even worse than eunuchs who have no roots.

Didn't you just say that you were afraid that I would be jealous and unhappy? After just a few words, you changed so quickly.

Sure enough, Nian Shilan recognized the man in front of her again. The emperor really couldn't resist the temptation of beauty.

It's not just the emperor, all men in the world are like this, and the emperor is even more so.
