Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Zhou Ninghai heard that it was alright, and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, you are tired from worrying about the selection of concubines. You are too concerned about it. Just let the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle it, and you can take a rest."

Zhou Ninghai thought that the talent show was the only thing that bothered Nian Shilan recently. After all, he didn't know why and couldn't help, so he could only comfort her like this.

But the reason was that Nian Shilan knew it too well. She had participated in a talent show in her previous life, and she had the power to cooperate with the six palaces, so there was really nothing to be nervous about.

After all, he was still afraid that something might go wrong with An Lingrong during the talent show, but he just didn't want to think too much about it.

On the other side, Songzhi also arrived at the old house of the Nian family, "Miss An. I pay my respects to Miss An."

Songzhi quickly bowed to An Lingrong.

When An Lingrong saw that it was Songzhi, she quickly stood up to greet her. She was still thinking about this matter. Nian Shilan had promised that she would marry the prince when she was 16 years old. Now that the prince had become the current emperor, she didn't know whether Nian Shilan would fulfill her original promise.

I was thinking that the emperor has been on the throne for so long, but there has been no news from Nian Shilan's side. I was afraid that I had forgotten about him, but then Song Zhi came over.

As soon as she saw Songzhi, An Lingrong was very happy, knowing that this must be what Nian Shilan meant.

"Miss Songzhi. Why are you here? Concubine Nian, oh no, I should call you Concubine Hua now, right? Is my sister okay?"

An Lingrong asked with a smile. She had heard a little about the fact that Nian Shilan had become Concubine Hua. Everyone in the capital knew that Concubine Hua was the most favored concubine in the six palaces and no one could compare to her.

Song Zhi sneered and turned back to look at An Lingrong: "Your Majesty is of course fine. Also, Miss An should call me Aunt Song Zhi now."

An Lingrong lowered her head quickly: "Yes, yes, it's all Lingrong's fault, aunt, don't take it to heart."

Originally, she was from a small family, so Songzhi had no intention of making a fuss with her. However, An Lingrong really didn't know the rules. Now that she was a member of the palace, An Lingrong should return the courtesy when she saw her.

Never mind. She is from a small family and doesn’t know the etiquette. I am too lazy to argue with her. I will just finish what the Empress has asked me to do so that I can go back and report back.

"Miss An, the Queen asked me to come here today mainly to talk to you about a few things."

An Lingrong listened very seriously, she knew that this concerned her entire life's honor, wealth and future.

An Lingrong did not speak either. Song Zhi continued, "First, the palace will begin the selection on the sixth day of next month. Her Majesty has already made arrangements. You will be exempt from the first few rounds of selection. You can go directly to the final round of selection. Remember, dress nicely. Second, Her Majesty said that when you enter the palace, do not walk around or argue with others. There is nothing else to do. Don't be late."

Songzhi repeated all of Nian Shilan's words to An Lingrong.

"Argument? Who would I argue with?"

An Lingrong thought that she had always been cautious and never been a troublemaker, so Concubine Hua could rest assured about this.

"I don't know, Miss An, just remember it."

In fact, Song Zhi didn't know about An Lingrong's problem. After all, Concubine Hua didn't tell her. Logically, everyone should go to the beauty pageant happily, and no one should be so tactless as to argue with the emperor.

"Yes, Lingrong has remembered it. Don't worry, aunt." An Lingrong said again.

"Well, I won't stay here any longer. I've already delivered your message. I have to hurry back and report to Madam Ha Fei. Miss An, please remember this."

After saying that, Songzhi bowed and left quickly.

As soon as Songzhi left, An Lingrong stopped pretending. She was obviously very happy in her heart, but for some reason, she had to pretend to be calm when Songzhi was around.

"Baojuan, Baojuan. I can finally make it big!"

An Lingrong held Baojuan's hand tightly and told her story, but she didn't know that Baojuan was also Nian Shilan's woman.

"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady." Seeing An Lingrong like this, Baojuan quickly knelt down to pay her respects and congratulate her.

Baojuan is also good at flattering people. The talent show hasn't even started yet, there's nothing even remotely happening, but she's already calling her "Young Master".

It's no wonder that Song Zhisong felt that An Lingrong was petty. Baojuan called her "Young Master" and she didn't object. Instead, she was immersed in these two words.

This is in line with what Nian Shilan said in her previous life: "If you are really unlucky, you can't stop calling out."

Isn't An Lingrong like this? She has been used to being humble since she was a child, and now she really wants to stand out.

"Baojuan, go and get some pen and ink."

An Lingrong ran into the house excitedly and sat at the table. She wanted to write a letter home to tell her father and mother the good news, but then she changed her mind and decided it would be better to wait until she was actually selected.

"Baojuan, take it."

Baojuan didn't understand why she had to find it herself when she clearly didn't want to write it, and then didn't write it after she found it.

"My Lord, why don't you write anymore?"

An Lingrong calmed down now: "I'd better wait until the day I actually enter the palace before writing. Then my father and mother will be really happy."

Baojuan didn't say anything after hearing this.

Songzhi also returned to Yiku Palace and brought back a bag of crab roe cakes. This crab roe cake was also what Nian Shilan used to buy often, but now that she has entered the Forbidden City, it is not so easy to find it.

"Your Majesty." Songzhi ran to Concubine Hua with a smile. At that time, Jinxi was waiting on the side.

"Ms. Songzhi is young after all, and she is cheerful all the time."

Jinxi was also a perceptive person. Knowing that Nian Shilan had been waiting for Songzhi, she hurried downstairs.

"Your Majesty, look what I brought you?" As she said that, Songzhi took out the crab roe crisps from behind her.

“Ding ding ding ding.”

"Crab roe crisps?" Of course Nian Shilan could recognize it at the first sight, as this was her favorite food.

Since I entered the palace, I have never eaten crab meat cakes outside the palace. It is rare to see them now.

Seeing Songzhi like this, Nian Shilan's voice was a little choked up: "Songzhi, you are thoughtful."

It's hard for Songzhi to still think about me. It's really not in vain that I love her.

"What is your Majesty talking about? This is what I should do." Songzhi opened the package attentively and handed it to Nian Shilan.

In fact, Nian Shilan knew that there was no such thing as what should be done or not done, it was just a matter of whether a person was intentional or unintentional.
