Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Yes, madam. Madam Duan and the concubines are coming over. I wanted to give Xuanshu to the wet nurse, but she didn't want to. She insisted on coming over."

Xin Changzai smiled at her daughter in her arms.

Xin Chang has always loved her daughter the most, and this child also particularly likes Nian Shilan. After all, she has always been close to Nian Shilan since she was a child.

After Xin Changzai said this, Nian Shilan noticed that Xuan Shu in Xin Changzai's arms was looking at her and smiling.

"I haven't noticed yet that Xuanshu is here too."

Nian Shilan smiled and stretched out her hand: "Come here, ask Empress Hua to hug you."

Xuanshu is a really adorable child. I have been helping to take care of her since she was born, so I have a particularly close relationship with her.

"I was thinking that Xuanshu is almost one year old now. Time flies so fast."

If you think about it carefully, Xuanshu was still in the palace when he was born, and now the emperor has been on the throne for more than half a year. By this calculation, it is almost Xuanshu's birthday.

"Your Majesty remembers it very carefully. It is indeed almost Xuanshu's birthday. There is only a little over a month left."

Speaking of which, this matter actually reminded Xin Changzai that she had not yet prepared a birthday gift for her daughter.

"After all, Xuanshu is a child that I have watched grow up since he was a child, so it is only right for me to remember him." Nian Shilan said with a smile.

Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin saw that Nian Shilan had a good attitude. She had just been demoted, but she could still smile so happily. Did she really not care at all?

"I wonder what your sister is planning now?"

Concubine Duan saw that Nian Shilan didn't seem to be anxious at all. But as a bystander, she was already extremely anxious, after all, this was not a trivial matter.

In the current situation, I don’t know whether the queen succeeded or what.

"Plans, ah, what plans can I have now? It's fine as it is now. Now I think the most important thing is to prepare for Xuanshu's birthday."

Nian Shilan looked at the announcement and didn't care about her position. "Besides, the emperor just demoted me, and there is nothing else. And look at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, isn't it still fine? They dare not reduce my share. I have nothing to worry about."

Hearing Nian Shilan say this, the two looked at each other and felt relieved. However, the women in the palace have always cared most about their status. But with Nian Shilan like this, they can live comfortably.

In fact, Nian Shilan knew that if she didn't care so much about the emperor, her life would be less tiring and she would be able to better control this man.

"Today, I just went to pay my respects to the Queen, and I saw that the Emperor looked unhappy. I guess he was unhappy because he issued an order in the morning to remove the Queen's power to manage the six palaces. His face was so dark that I thought something had happened."

After hearing Concubine Duan say this, Nian Shilan knew it. She guessed that when Su Peisheng went to convey the Queen's order in the morning, the Queen must have asked Su Peisheng about this matter, and only then did she know that she had been demoted.

Didn’t we have what happened with Jiang Fuhai this morning?

She kept calling her Huapin, but she couldn't wait even a moment longer, as if she would die if she called her less.

It is true that like master, like servant. Jiang Fuhai's dead appearance is just like the Queen's. All the masters and servants in Jingren Palace are like that. How could he not know?

"Hmph, Queen."

Nian Shilan sneered: "Sister, I think the Queen's tolerance this time is still good. At least the headache did not occur."

Under normal circumstances, the Queen would have been sick with bumblebee disease long ago. It seems that after so many years, the Queen's ability to withstand stress has improved.

However, only Nian Shilan could speak so frankly. Not to mention that she was saying this in front of Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin, she would have said the same thing even in front of the Queen.

"My queen, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are here."

As he was speaking, Zhou Ninghai came in from outside.

Following the voice, Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin's eyes also shifted to Zhou Ninghai.

Nian Shilan straightened her sitting posture and let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside the door in.

"This slave pays my respects to the queen."

Huang Guiquan was smart enough to know that Nian Shilan had been demoted. He realized that the word "Huapin" was an opportunity, so he simply omitted it.

Nian Shilan didn't understand at all. Although she didn't care, it was still difficult for Huang Guiquan.

Seeing that he was so thoughtful, Nian Shilan also changed her tone.

"Huang Guiquan, what's the matter?"

"My lady, your Huan Yi incense is ready, and I brought it to you now."

Although Huang Guiquan was Nian Shilan's man, he knew nothing about Huanyixiang, so Huanyixiang had been supplied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs all along.

It’s like this every month. If other things are missing, then they are missing, but this Huanyixiang has never been missing.

After all, this matter was personally instructed by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and the Imperial Household Department must remember it clearly and would not dare to forget it even once. If something really went wrong, I'm afraid ten heads would not be enough to chop off.

"let it go."

"Songzhi."

Nian Shilan gave an order and asked Songzhi to accept it. Although Nian Shilan no longer needed musk, which was harmful to the body, since it was a reward from the emperor, she kept it.

Songzhi also understood what Nian Shilan meant. She thanked him, took the Huanyixiang and went to the inner hall.

As usual, Songzhi placed the Huanyi incense at the innermost part of the top layer of the cupboard. She had already collected seven or eight boxes in the past few months since entering the palace.

"Although Your Majesty is now a concubine, you still have everything you need."

Seeing Huang Guiquan bringing Huanyixiang to Nian Shilan, Xin Changzai was very envious. Although her position was reduced, it did not affect Nian Shilan's favor at all.

But Concubine Duan knew the reason too well, she looked at Huang Guiquan and then at Nian Shilan.

The two exchanged glances, but nothing happened.

After sitting for a while, the two left.

Coincidentally, An Lingrong was standing outside the door basking in the sun, and Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin came out just in time.

However, An Lingrong's residence was not very close, and the place where she stood was not far enough for Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin to see her, so they did not say hello.

"My lady, Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin are here too. How about we go and see Concubine Hua as well?"

Baojuan kindly reminded her from the side.

But An Lingrong said, "She is just a concubine now. She was just demoted by the emperor. The emperor might still be angry. Concubine Duan is fine. After all, she is a concubine and an old lady. She also has Concubine Xin and a daughter. Even if the emperor is angry, he won't vent his anger on them. But I am different. I have to consider my own future and favor."
