Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

The emperor was talking to himself, totally ignoring how dark the queen's face had become.

After saying this, he looked at the queen with a smile: "What do you think, Queen?"

The queen couldn't say anything, she could only nod and agree: "I think it's great, too."

The emperor has already made the decision. Concubine Qi has also objected, but the emperor still insisted on doing so. After he finished speaking, he still asked me what I thought. What use would my opinion be? The emperor is really funny.

"Okay, that's settled."

After saying this, the emperor left with a smile, leaving behind a room full of women in Jingren Palace.

Seeing the emperor leave, Nian Shilan knew that the queen would definitely do something tricky again, and she didn't want to stay here any longer. After all, the day of the beauty show was not long, so she had better go back and make plans.

As for what I did in my previous life, I forgot. It seems that I didn't spend too much money, but it was still a lot compared to what the queen usually spent.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave now."

After paying her respects, Nian Shilan turned around and left without caring whether the Queen agreed or not.

The Queen and everyone else were used to it; she was like this all the time, and now that she was favored by the Emperor, it went without saying that she was nothing special.

Now that she is in charge of the beauty pageant, it is understandable that she does not come to the imperial palace to pay her respects every day.

In fact, the most important thing in this palace is not the position, but the emperor's favor. With favor, you have everything.

The queen knew that even though she was the queen, she was not as favored as any of her concubines.

One day passed, and in the evening the queen sat alone in front of the mirror, with Jianqiu combing her hair behind her.

The Queen was staring at herself in the mirror in a daze. She was old, really old. If compared with Concubine Hua, she was really no match. It was just that she was unwilling to admit it.

"Jianqiu, am I already old and ugly now?"

Jianqiu didn't know how big a blow the Queen had suffered today to ask such a question.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? You are still as young and beautiful as ever." Jianqiu comforted the Queen while combing her hair.

The Queen also knew that Jianqiu's words were just to cheer her up. She didn't know what she was like, but she could tell just by looking at the number of times the Emperor came to Jingren Palace.

Compared with Concubine Hua, the number of times he had slept with her was pitifully small.

The queen looked at the mirror, smiled at Jianqiu, and said nothing.

Thinking back to the time when I first married the emperor, I was also a teenager and my appearance was no worse than Concubine Hua. Time flies, and even beauty doesn’t want to stay on her face for long.

It was quite lively in Yikun Palace. Nian Shilan, Songzhi, Cui Jinxi, and Zhou Ninghai all gathered around Nian Shilan, offering advice and suggestions for the organization of the talent show.

"By the way, where did the emperor stay today?"

As soon as Nian Shilan remembered this, she hurriedly asked, thinking that since the emperor would not come, she might as well go to Wang Jin's room and sit for a while.

Zhou Ninghai had been guarding outside the door the whole time, so he saw everything clearly. Since Nian Shilan asked, he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I just saw the Emperor heading towards Sui Yu Xuan."

"Sui Yuxuan, that's fine too."

Since the emperor went to Suiyuxuan again, he probably won't come to Yikun Palace today. It's a good opportunity for me to go to Wang Jin's place and sit with him. It's been a long time since I had a good time with Hongli, so it's time to cultivate their relationship.

Wang Jin must not be neglected either, after all, he will be useful in the future.

"Zhou Ninghai, Jinxi, just stay here. Songzhi, accompany me to see Noble Lady Wang."

"Yes." Several people said in unison.

They were all in the same palace, and they arrived after a few steps. "Sister."

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Wang Jin playing with Hongli. Although I hadn't been here for a long time, Hongli had not forgotten me and quickly ran towards me.

"The queen is here, Hongli is very happy."

After all, Hongli is Wang Jin's adopted son. When Hongli is happy, Wang Jin is naturally happy.

However, Nian Shilan did not expect that Hongli actually liked her so much. It was the first time that she felt so clearly the feeling of being loved by a child. It was really good, but it would be great if this child was hers.

"Hongli likes me, and I like Hongli too, right, our little Hongli!"

Nian Shilan teased Hongli and said that she was always smiling every time she saw him, and now her love for her child was pure and without any exploitation.

It turns out that deep down in her heart she also likes children.

"Sister, the emperor will hold a beauty pageant next month, do you know?"

Wang Jin stayed indoors all day and rarely interacted with others. Nian Shilan thought she probably didn't know about it. After the selection, there were constant disturbances in the palace, and Nian Shilan knew about it.

None of the people who came in through the draft have been quiet.

"A talent show, never mind. Let him choose if he wants. I don't care. As long as I have Hongli, that's enough."

Wang Jin didn't love the emperor in the first place. She approached him only to avenge Li Jingui. She didn't care about his favor, so what did it have to do with her whether he chose the selection or not.

"You can't say that. You still have to be on guard against others. There will be many new people coming to this palace in the future. You may not have the intention to harm others, but it doesn't mean that others don't."

Nian Shilan looked at Wang Jin and said, "I'm going to be busy organizing the talent show these days, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to come and see you."

Nian Shilan explained that she did not mean to not come, but was busy with the talent show and really had no time. In fact, it was not that she did not want to come, after all, Hongli was here.

"I remember that usually, important palace affairs like this are handled by the Queen. Why is it that the Queen doesn't care this time?"

Even Wang Jin, a mere noble, knew about these problems with the rules. One can imagine how unhappy the queen was when she didn't get this opportunity.

The reason why the Queen is out of favor is not actually because of her appearance. In front of the Emperor, the Queen always puts rules first, so it is hard for the Emperor not to like her.

When she thought of the Queen's appearance, Nian Shilan couldn't help but smile, "Ah, this Queen is just a Queen in name only. Sister, do you know what the Emperor said? He said that the Queen is too frugal. I'm afraid that if the Queen takes care of it, it will lose the dignity of the royal family."

The queen was speechless at the time. Although she looked calm, Nian Shilan knew how embarrassed she must be in her heart.

Listening to Nian Shilan's words, Wang Jin was also stunned. No matter whether it was true or false, Wang Jin felt that the queen's panic should be more serious than the embarrassment in her heart. Concubine Hua was already organizing the selection on behalf of the queen, and the queen's power was probably unstable.

It is not impossible that all this power will fall into Nian Shilan's hands in the future.
