Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Your Majesty, it's because Xia Wei, the left leader of the Baoyi, sent you several memorials, which seemed to mention the matter of Xia Changzai and Concubine Hua."

Su Peisheng spoke hesitantly. This matter was originally a trivial matter, just a concubine. In the final analysis, it was because of Xia Dongchun's rude words. This matter finally caused Xia Wei to be incompetent.

The Xia family was originally in the wrong, and it was good enough that the emperor did not hold them accountable. But now they dared to write a letter and even mentioned Concubine Hua, which has alarmed General Nian.

Hearing that it was because of this, Nian Shilan felt relieved. Fortunately, her brother was not being sent to the battlefield now. It would be better to fight fewer battles.

Although this is a small matter, we still cannot take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so fussy about Concubine Xia before, I wouldn't have caused you so much trouble like today. Shilan doesn't want to cause trouble for Silang, nor does she want him to have more worries. Shilan just wants to be on good terms with Silang."

As Nian Shilan spoke, she began to act coquettishly. In fact, this matter was ultimately related to her, as the Xia family had lost a daughter.

In fact, if I put myself in his shoes, if it was me who was hurt, with my brother's temper, the Xia family would have been razed to the ground by now.

"Shilan, what did you call me just now?"

When the emperor heard Nian Shilan calling Silang, his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"Silang" was originally the name used when Empress Chunyuan was alive. Now, hearing Concubine Hua calling him that, it has a different flavor.

This is the first time that Nian Shilan has called someone by this name. As a girl, she should act coquettishly when necessary. But now, she doesn’t know if she said it wrong.

"I have spoken out of turn."

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak for a long time, Nian Shilan thought that she should confess her guilt first. It would be bad if this name could only be called by Queen Chunyuan. She didn't want the emperor to think that she had violated Queen Chunyuan's taboo and offended Queen Chunyuan.

Seeing Nian Shilan admitting her mistake with her head down, the emperor would definitely not be angry. Besides, he was not angry about this matter in the first place because he liked this name.

This also shows that Shilan did not regard herself as an emperor, but as a husband.

"Nonsense, how could Se-ran say something wrong? I like Se-ran to call me that."

The emperor patted Nian Shilan's hand as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll go first and come see you another day."

This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. After all, Xia Wei is also a left-wing leader of the Baoyi clan. Now that his daughter is dead, he must be feeling uncomfortable.

Knowing that the emperor was going to deal with state affairs, Nian Shilan naturally would not stop him. She bowed and saluted, and the emperor left.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhang Tingyu and Nian Gengyao were already waiting inside.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

Seeing the emperor coming, Zhang Tingyu and Nian Gengyao bowed one by one.

"I love you, no courtesy."

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have received Xia Wei's memorial?"

Seeing the emperor coming, Zhang Tingyu couldn't wait to ask.

"I just heard about this, so I rushed over here."

The emperor walked slowly to the table, and there, on the table were several letters of greeting from Xia Wei.

"Your Majesty, I am Xia Wei. I am grateful for your kindness. Some time ago, my daughter was fortunate to enter the palace and was named a concubine. She lives in the Yanxi Palace. I do not ask for my daughter to be rich and powerful, but I only hope that she can be safe and sound. But recently, there has been no news from my daughter. Unfortunately, today I accidentally heard that my daughter died in the cold palace. It seems that it was because of the punishment of a hundred lashes from Concubine Hua. I don't know if the emperor can give an explanation for this matter."

The emperor probably took a look at the memorial. Xia Weidai wanted to get an explanation.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but this look made the emperor very angry.

"How dare you! This Xia Wei, I care about him and his beloved daughter, but he is pushing his luck. He didn't even mention a word about Xia's rebellion! He even asked me to give him an explanation. What explanation should I give him? The palace rules are strict. It was Xia's own fault. No one else can be blamed!"

The emperor threw the memorial to the ground and said, "Look at this!"

This was just the content of one memorial, but it was enough to make the emperor furious, let alone the contents of other memorials.

If we continue to watch, I’m afraid the emperor will be so angry that he will kill Xia Wei.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

The emperor's move scared Zhang Tingyu and Nian Gengyao greatly.

"Your Majesty, Xia Wei's outrageous words may be because he misses his daughter so much. After all, Xia is his only legitimate daughter. I think she must have been raised in the palm of his hand since she was a child."

Zhang Tingyu thought for a while and said, "However, Xia Wei really shouldn't have said that. He was really bold. Your Majesty, have you thought about how to deal with him?"

"Tell me, my dear minister, what do you think I should do?"

In fact, the emperor doesn’t know what to do now. He just doesn’t want to implicate Nian Shilan because of this matter. However, he certainly cannot say this in front of Zhang Tingyu, otherwise the previous court will definitely have opinions.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Xia Wei's actions are indeed an offense to the majesty of heaven. Your Majesty may want to give him a warning. Besides, it was Xia who committed the crime of insubordination and offended Concubine Hua. The country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. No one can violate them."

Nian Gengyao's words were also selfish. After all, Hua Fei was his own sister. If he didn't help her, who else would he help? What's more, Nian Gengyao was a man who would protect his sister no matter what. He would rather get into trouble himself than involve Nian Shilan in any way.

Since Xia Wei is looking for trouble and deliberately making things difficult for his sister, he won't have an easy life in the previous dynasty.

He probably doesn't want this future anymore.

The emperor did not respond to the matter concerning Xia for a while. This matter was not something that could be easily resolved. After a brief chat, he asked Zhang Tingyu and Nian Gengyao to go back, and the emperor went to see the empress dowager.

Coincidentally, Nian Shilan was also in Shoukang Palace at this moment.

"My dear, I haven't seen you for a while. I miss you so much."

The Queen Mother was so happy when she saw Nian Shilan that she couldn't stop smiling.

"These days, I have been busy with the selection of concubines and the admission of new brides to the palace, and I have not had much time to accompany the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace. This is my fault, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me. I came to the Queen Mother as soon as I had some free time today."

Nian Shilan bowed and spoke, knowing that the Queen Mother would not really blame her. She could also understand that the Queen Mother was just lonely in the palace and wanted to find someone to relieve her boredom.
