Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Not long after returning to Yikun Palace, Nian Gengyao came over.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei."

Although Nian Gengyao was a military general and was not very polite to the emperor on weekdays, he was very polite to his sister.

I would do it even if it's just to make my sister happy.

Looking at Nian Gengyao, Nian Shilan quickly helped him up: "Brother, what are you talking about? You and I are siblings, why do we need to bow to each other? Not to mention that my sister is a concubine now, even if she becomes the queen mother in the future, my brother will not need to bow to her."

"Hahahahahahahahaha, then wait until you become the Empress Dowager."

Nian Gengyao walked into the house while joking. It was fine to say this in the Yikun Palace, but he must not say it outside, lest someone with ulterior motives hear it and then spread it to the emperor's ears, fearing that the emperor would become suspicious again.

"Speaking of which, Shilan, you have been in the palace for so many years. How come there has been no movement since your miscarriage?"

Nian Gengyao had always been worried about this matter. Ever since Nian Shilan had a miscarriage, she had never gotten pregnant again. Nian Gengyao wondered, out of concern for Nian Shilan's health, whether there was something wrong with her body.

Or maybe, when I had a miscarriage before, I didn't pay enough attention and didn't recover well enough.

In fact, Nian Gengyao had always wanted to ask about this, but he never had the chance and it was easy to forget. It was only when he was joking about becoming the Empress Dowager that Nian Gengyao remembered it.

Not to mention the empress dowager, one can only become the empress dowager if one has a child, otherwise everything would be in vain.

When talking about this, Nian Shilan's expression seemed a little unnatural. After all, this was something she had deliberately arranged.

"Brother, why are you saying these things for no reason?"

Not knowing how to answer, Nian Shilan thought of making an excuse: "Sister, I think this is not something that can be solved in a hurry. The right time, right place and right people are all essential. Sister is in good health, brother, don't worry."

"Well, you can't say that. After all, things are different now than they were in the palace. There are more women in the palace now. Se-ran, you should also think of a way. After all, having a child can be said to be more stable. Brother also knows that the women in the harem cannot compare to Se-ran's beauty, but having a child is still more stable."

Nian Gengyao was really considering Nian Shilan. After all, even ordinary families value their children more, let alone the royal family?

In fact, Nian Shilan also hopes to have a child of her own, but she doesn't want to have that man's child.

Nian Shilan just smiled and said nothing, continuing to listen to what Nian Gengyao said: "Just like what my sister said just now, if there is no child, how can I become the empress dowager in the future."

I was just joking and I don’t know if my brother took it seriously.

"Brother, it's fine to say this in Yikun Palace, but you can't say a word outside of Yikun Palace. This is a big taboo. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, not only my sister, but also the entire Nian family, I'm afraid the emperor will become suspicious."

Nian Shilan analyzed the pros and cons to Nian Gengyao with a serious face. In this life, every step she took must be carefully considered for the Nian family.

"Sister, why are you still a concubine? It's been so long since the Xia family incident, and the emperor hasn't mentioned restoring your position to the throne yet?"

The main reason why Nian Gengyao came to the palace this time was to ask about this matter. Although Nian Shilan still lived in the Yikun Palace and her food, clothing and other expenses were still the same as before, her title was still Huapin, which sounded awkward.

What's more, it would not sound good if it were made public, and it was not good that Concubine Qi always suppressed Nian Shilan. Although Nian Gengyao knew that Nian Shilan would not be bullied by others, he still didn't want her to suffer any grievance.

Nian Shilan smiled and continued Nian Gengyao's words: "Brother, the emperor also said that he told Shilan last night that Princess Xuanshu's birthday will be in a few days, which is a happy event. He also said that on Xuanshu's birthday, my sister will be reinstated as a concubine."

Based on the emperor's attitude towards me these days, this matter does not seem to be false. Not only has the emperor said it, but he also talked about it in front of all the concubines in Jingren Palace today. I don't think there will be any changes.

In this life, if the queen wants to overthrow me, it may not be that easy.

"Xuan Shu's birthday."

Nian Gengyao repeated that although he did not know the princesses and princes in the palace, he had heard of them a little and had mentioned them more or less. In comparison, he was more familiar with Xuan Shu because Nian Shilan loved the child very much after all.

"Shilan, I remember that you liked that child very much."

Nian Gengyao said intentionally or unintentionally that a child that Nian Shilan likes must be a good one.

"Yes, brother, this child is very similar to Xin Changzai, well-behaved and sensible, and he is very close to his sister on weekdays."

When talking about Xuan Shu, maybe it was because the maternal love in a woman's nature came out, but even Nian Shilan's voice became gentle.

"That's fine, as long as you like it. You should also pay attention to what I tell you. It would be best if it's a prince, or at least a princess. At least the palace will be more lively. Besides, I can feel more at ease if you have a child by my side."

Nian Gengyao raised his wine glass and said, "In the past, when we were in the palace, it was fine. We two brothers and sisters could still eat and drink together. Since you entered the palace, such days have become rare. After this drink, I don't know when the next time will be."

The more he talked, the sadder Nian Gengyao became. Nian Shilan also noticed Nian Gengyao's subtle emotion, but she didn't say it out of consideration for her brother's face. In fact, Nian Gengyao was reluctant to part with Nian Shilan.

After all, the brother and sister have lived together in the mansion for so many years. Nian Gengyao is much older than Nian Shilan, and he loves his little sister in every way. Since his sister got married, they naturally meet very rarely.

"I don't know when the next time will be. Anyway, my brother is in the capital. Shilan can talk to the emperor often and ask my brother to come to the palace so that we can get together."

Nian Shilan didn't think it was a big deal. With the emperor's favor towards her, she thought the emperor would not refuse if she brought up this matter. After all, it was not a big deal.

But Nian Gengyao's expression changed...

He did not answer Nian Shilan's question immediately, but picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.

"Sister, I'm afraid my brother is also hungry and I don't know when he can enter the palace."
