Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Nian Gengyao sighed and continued, "After lunch with my sister, I'm afraid it's almost time to set off. The emperor just told me yesterday to go to Qinghai to quell the Junggar rebellion."

The comfortable days passed for a long time, and Nian Shilan didn't think about it for a while. She calculated that it was time for her brother to go to Qinghai. This time, it would take a long time. Now Nian Shilan was not worried about his achievements surpassing his master, but about his brother's safety.

In the past, every time her brother went out to fight on the battlefield, Nian Shilan was very happy. After all, she was highly valued by the emperor, and it also meant that the Nian family's career was flourishing. Now it is extraordinary.

Nian Shilan was stunned for a while and didn't say anything. She probably didn't react for a while.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Nian Shilan didn't speak for a long time, Nian Gengyao continued to ask.

"It's nothing. I was just wondering when I can see my brother again. How long will he be gone?"

"It's just a few months. I don't know yet. After all, Shilan, you know that the situation on the battlefield is changeable. It's hard to say. If it ends early, I will definitely be able to come back earlier. Don't I want that too?"

Nian Gengyao said with a smile. Seeing that Nian Shilan was a little disappointed, he wanted to comfort her quickly: "Okay, okay, when I come back, I will bring you some good things."

How can Nian Shilan, who is now a girl, be appeased by some delicious food and fun things? She has grown up and is no longer the little girl she used to be.

However, in order to cooperate with her brother, Nian Shilan still agreed with a smile.

But I was thinking in my heart that when my brother comes back this time, I must talk to the emperor and ask him not to let him fight on the battlefield anymore and not to give him such a high position anymore. I don't want my brother to be rich and powerful or anything like that, I just want him to be safe and sound.

Nian Shilan was happy to meet Nian Gengyao, but the queen was not idle either.

Jianqiu had been watching the movements outside the Yiku Palace, but she only saw Nian Gengyao go in. As the distance was too far, she did not hear what they said. After watching outside for a while, she went back to report to the Queen.

"Nian Gengyao went in, and he hasn't come out yet?"

The Queen slammed the table and said angrily.

In fact, there was nothing against the rules. It was just that the queen was angry when she saw Nian Shilan being favored.

Not to mention that Nian Shilan has just been demoted. Although the emperor also said that he would restore Nian Shilan to the throne on Xuanshu’s birthday, she is still just a concubine now.

Ever since I entered the palace, my family members from my mother’s side came to see me once, when I gave birth to my eldest prince. But I have never seen them again since then.

"My lady, calm down and be careful."

The Queen's slam on the table was so loud that even Jianqiu, who was watching from the side, felt heartbroken.

"Well, this Huapin is getting more and more powerful. Humph, now the emperor not only wants to restore her position, but also allows her family to visit her. Humph, the emperor really cares about her."

The Queen was getting angrier the more she thought about it: "Oh, by the way, she was the one who organized Xuanshu's birthday, wasn't she?"

The queen rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of Xuanshu's birthday. Now that she no longer had the power to manage the six palaces, it was Nian Shilan who had this power.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Emperor is really a fool. Since he is going to restore her to the position of consort, why doesn't he also restore your power over the six palaces?"

Jianqiu complained angrily.

"Humph, it's God's will. Never mind. Just leave it to fate."

As the words fell, a smile appeared on the queen's lips.

Jianqiu stood aside and was unable to understand the meaning of the Queen's words. However, since the Queen said so, she must have her reasons.

Yes, Xuanshu’s birthday was fully arranged by Nian Shilan. If anything went wrong, wouldn’t it be Nian Shilan’s responsibility?

Time flies, and it is only two or three days away from Xuanshu's birthday. Almost everything is done, and we just need to wait for the emperor to check it one last time.

"You all have to be careful. Princess Xuanshu's birthday cannot be too shabby. Not only will it bring disgrace to the royal family, but it will also be displeasing to me. Use the good things. As for the money, don't worry. Just tell me directly. There's no need to report it to the queen."

Nian Shilan explained the matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs early in the morning. After all, Nian Shilan was very concerned about the matter of the proclamation and was not afraid of spending money.

"Yes."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, how could the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not listen?

Huang Guiquan is the most knowledgeable person in this matter. Moreover, he is a distant relative of Nian Shilan and he is very good at currying favor with Nian Shilan.

"Your Majesty, please look here. For Princess Xuanshu's birthday, we have picked out the best things. If it's not the best, I dare not give it to Princess Xuanshu. I know that Princess Xuanshu is loved by you, so I dare not neglect her."

Seeing Huang Gui walking in front of her like a dog, Nian Shilan also started laughing.

"Okay, stop talking so smoothly. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded."

After saying this, Nian Shilan left.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother."

It has been a long time since I last visited the Empress Dowager, so I thought of coming to see her. After all, I will be restored to the throne in two days, and I thought the Empress Dowager might have some intentions, so I should come over anyway.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly. I haven't seen you for a long time. Get up quickly and let me see you."

When the Queen Mother saw Nian Shilan coming, she was so happy that she immediately pulled Nian Shilan aside and kept talking to her for a long time.

When meeting the Queen Mother, I definitely cannot dress up too flashy, it is better to keep things simple. Besides, I have not yet restored the throne, so I cannot wear anything bright red.

It only takes two days for me to be restored to normal shape, so nothing must go wrong before that.

"Why are you dressed so plainly today? I rarely see you like this. Maybe I'm used to seeing you dress like that every day, so I find your new style quite fresh."

Although the Queen Mother complained about Nian Shilan's plain clothes, her eyes never left her.

"The Queen Mother is still talking about me. Look at your eyes. Don't take them away from me."

Nian Shilan said mischievously, knowing that the Queen Mother liked plainness and disliked glamorous things, now the Queen Mother could feel more at ease.

"I heard that you have been busy with Xuanshu's birthday recently. How is it going? Is everything settled? If you need any money, just ask me. I don't have much to spend anyway, so why keep so much?"
