Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Humph, of course. The first share of grace must be mine. There's no need to talk about it." Xia Dongchun had a defiant look on his face.

Perhaps she was too arrogant. Xu Jinliang felt a little disgusted when seeing this. No wonder she offended Concubine Hua.

Alas, having offended Concubine Hua, she can only blame herself for her bad luck.

Tonight, you're on your own.

Although Xu Jinliang didn't like her very much, she was a lady after all, and he couldn't offend her openly.

"Mrs. Xia, let this maid help you change your clothes and explain to you the rules of sleeping with your husband." Xu Jinliang said with a smile again.

"Alright. Come with me."

Xia Dongchun turned around and went in, twisting her waist, as if these two men deserved to serve her.

Since Xia Dongchun had given the order, the nanny answered "yes" and hurriedly followed behind.

Just as he was about to go in, Xu Jinliang pulled him back. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were enough to tell it all.

The nanny understood what Xu Jinliang meant and quickly followed Xia Dongchun in.

Since he had turned over Xia Dongchun's card, the emperor naturally could not stay in the Yikun Palace for long. After staying for a while, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to prepare.

Although it was a newlywed woman serving the emperor, there was no sign of happiness on the emperor's face. It was probably not what he wanted in his heart. He was just following the rules of his ancestors.

Among the new batch of people entering the palace, the first one to serve the emperor's bed was Xia Dongchun. Although it was an honor, it would inevitably arouse the jealousy of others. The saying "the first bird to stick its head out gets shot" is not without reason.

But that's Xia Dongchun's personality, no wonder she's hated by others.

It would be fine if Concubine Hua did this, after all, the Nian family has a great background, but Xia Dongchun did this, which was just playing with fire and getting burned.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned to the Yangxin Palace from the Yikun Palace."

As soon as Jianqiu heard some news outside, she hurried in to report to the Queen.

This is good, and it is in line with the Queen's wishes. Originally, the Queen thought that the Emperor would stay overnight in the Yikun Palace, but now it seems that Concubine Hua, huh, is not that important.

"Has the Emperor chosen a new bride today?" the Queen asked again.

Since the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace from the Yikun Palace, he was either there to handle government affairs or to appoint another concubine.

"The Emperor overthrew Concubine Xia from the Yanxi Palace tonight."

Jianqiu looked unhappy. She had seen what Xia looked like before. She was so stupid, and yet she was the first one to be favored.

In fact, the queen was also a little surprised. Everyone could have thought of it, whether it was Concubine Wan or Noble Lady Shen, or at worst Noble Lady Fucha would be fine, but she didn't expect it to be Concubine Xia.

Not only is she stupid, she's not particularly good-looking and has a rather straightforward personality. I don't know why the emperor asked her to sleep with him tonight. Could it be that I really underestimated her?

"Forget it, let's talk about it after tonight." The queen said slowly, thinking that Xia would come to pay her respects tomorrow anyway, so she didn't take it too seriously.

It had only been a short while since the Fengluan Chun'en carriage had brought Xia Dongchun to the Yangxin Palace, just an incense stick's time, when the emperor was heard to become furious.

Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi were on duty outside the door and didn't care about anything else, so they rushed in, but they were in the main hall and didn't enter the dormitory.

In fact, the emperor had already been angry, but the two concubines always plugged their ears when they slept with him, so they heard it.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw teacups, vases and other things scattered all over the floor.

"Your Majesty, what's going on, Your Majesty?" Su Peisheng asked hurriedly, fearing that the emperor would be furious.

However, after being on duty for so long, this was the first time I had encountered such a situation. Generally speaking, when concubines serve the emperor in the night, shouldn't they be taught the rules by their nannies? How could she have caused the emperor to behave like this?

"Su Peisheng! Xia, immediately, send her to the cold palace!" The emperor calmed down his anger and said to Su Peisheng.

Banished to the cold palace?! Wasn't it today that Xia Changzai was asked to favor her? It's only been an incense stick's time, how come it turned out like this?

Seeing that Su Peisheng did not answer, the emperor said again: "Why are you still standing there?!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Su Peisheng came back to his senses after being yelled at by the emperor again.

"Go and ask Concubine Hua to come over."

The emperor thought that if he had stayed in the Yiku Palace tonight, he would not have been so angry this time.

Newcomers are not very good after all, it’s better to have the old ones who have served for a long time.

Su Peisheng hurriedly followed the emperor's instructions, dealing with Xia's affairs himself and asking Xiao Xiazi to go to Yikun Palace. It was really unlucky. He had been a clerk for so many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

"Empress, Xiao Xiazi is here." Songzhi came in and said.

Nian Shilan was not sleepy at this time, but she felt that there should be movement in the Yangxin Palace tonight. Sure enough, it came, but for some reason, it was not Su Peisheng who came, but Xiao Xiazi.

"Your servant pays his respects to Her Majesty." Xiao Xiazi came in and bowed.

Seeing Xiao Xiazi coming, Concubine Hua pretended not to know and asked, "Xiao Xiazi, why are you here at this time?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has summoned you to the Yangxin Palace to sleep with him."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua knew that something was happening with Xia Dongchun.

He immediately asked, "Didn't the Emperor turn over Concubine Xia's card tonight? What's going on?"

"My lady, I will tell you this in secret, please don't tell anyone."

Seeing Nian Shilan asking this, Xiao Xiazi was also a big mouth and couldn't keep secrets in her heart. She stepped forward and whispered to Hua Fei: "The emperor ordered that Xia be banished to the cold palace. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to turn over."

"Leng Gong?"

Nian Shilan also thought about not asking the maid to teach Xia the rules of sleeping with her husband. At most, she would be like An Lingrong who "returned the jade intact to Zhao" in the previous life, but she would not be sent to the cold palace.

Could it be that the emperor himself didn't like this Xia family, so he took this opportunity to get rid of her?

"Yes, madam, I don't know what big mistake Xia made. My master and I were on duty outside the door, but you also know that when there are other masters around, we servants must be more discerning and plug our ears. We must be aware of what we shouldn't hear and what we shouldn't see. As for what happened during this period, I really don't know."

What Xiao Xiazi said made sense. He was just a servant. Even if he was by the emperor's side, how much could he know? It seemed that he had to go and see for himself to know what had happened.

Nian Shilan was now curious about how excessive Xia's actions were.

As soon as I arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, I saw the emperor sitting on the couch angrily, fiddling with his bracelets to calm himself down.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

Nian Shilan saw the emperor looking angry and asked quickly, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
