Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 255: Concubine Hua brings Hongli

In fact, Nian Shilan also wanted to help Wang Jin recover quickly so that she could win his favor.

"I heard that the emperor recently conferred a title on a lady named Yu. I can often hear her singing." Wang Jin continued.

Although he never leaves the house all day, he still knows a little about some news.

"Yes, she can sing Kunqu Opera, and the emperor even gave her the title of Lady Miaoyin."

Nian Shilan held Wang Jin's hand and said, "You have to get well soon. You have a pretty face. When you were in the palace, you were very favored. Now you look like this, aren't you just a bargain for others?"

What Nian Shilan said was right. Wang Jin just didn't want to compete for favor. With her beauty and Nian Shilan's planning, there would be no place for anyone else in the harem.

While listening to Nian Shilan talking, Concubine Duan was holding Hongli beside her. This child is so cute.

"Sister, how about this? You can trust me." Concubine Duan looked at Hongli, and then said to Wang Jin.

"What are you talking about, sister? Without you two sisters, Wang Jin wouldn't be where he is today."

Concubine Duan's words made Wang Jin's heart tighten. Wang Jin had always been grateful to Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan. If he couldn't even trust the two of them, then there would be no one in the harem that could be trusted.

Wang Jin's words also made Concubine Duan feel more at ease: "Sister, I think that you are weak now, and Hongli is still young, so it is inevitable that he will disturb your recuperation. Why don't you let me and Concubine Hua take care of him for a while, and send him back to you when you are better."

Concubine Duan's words were very tactful, but it was not difficult to see that Wang Jin still had a hint of hesitation.

But it was Concubine Duan who said it, so Wang Jin couldn't refuse, and then looked at Hongli again.

Seeing how Hongli was close to Concubine Duan, Wang Jin felt much more relieved and finally he relaxed.

"How about this, Hongli will be kept in Yikun Palace, by my side, so that I can bring Hongli to see you often."

Nian Shilan also noticed Wang Jin's worry and spoke up quickly.

"Alright."

In order to allow Wang Jin to rest and recuperate, Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan sat for a while and then left with Hongli.

Concubine Hua returned to her room, and Concubine Duan also returned to Yanqing Palace.

"My lady, where have you been? I need your help to find you."

When Songzhi saw Nian Shilan coming back, she hurriedly asked, as she had been waiting for a long time: "Madam, why is the Fourth Prince here too?"

Seeing the Fourth Prince coming, Songzhi roughly knew that Concubine Hua should have gone to where Concubine Wang was.

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "The Fourth Prince will live with us for a while now, and the wet nurse has been brought along. You can arrange a room for him later."

Songzhi agreed with a smile, knowing that Nian Shilan had always liked children. After all, it was Hongli's blessing. In fact, Songzhi had always felt that Hongli would not receive much favor if he followed Wang Jin, but it would be different if he followed the empress.

I just don’t know what Concubine Hua is thinking.

After handing Hongli over to the wet nurse, Nian Shilan asked Songzhi to close the door: "How is it? Did you find out everything?"

"Your Majesty, I have found out that the Emperor did call Prince Guo to the palace, and he is currently in the Yangxin Palace."

Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "But Madam, when I was asking around, I also saw people from Sui Yu Xuan asking about Prince Guo's news. I don't know what that means. Could it be Concubine Wan's intention?"

Songzhi reported the truth, but didn't think much about it.

"Okay."

Nian Shilan smiled and said nothing else. Zhen Huan was certainly not a fool. The emperor was so old, and no girl would believe him if he said he was Prince Guo.

"Okay, let's go and invite the emperor tonight. The emperor hasn't come to our Yikun Palace for a long time." Nian Shilan said and sent Songzhi away.

It just so happens that Hongli is here now, so he can also speak up for Wang Jin, so that the emperor won't forget the old one when he has a new one around.

In the evening, Nian Shilan prepared a large table of dishes and waited for the emperor.

Hongli was a young boy who didn't know any better. He tried to eat secretly as soon as he sat down at the table. Fortunately, he was seen by Nian Shilan.

"Hongli, put it down quickly. You can't eat until the emperor comes." Although it was a scolding, one could hear the doting in Nian Shilan's tone.

Seeing this, Hongli smiled and quickly put it down. Knowing that he had done something wrong, he lowered his head and walked to Nian Shilan's side: "Empress Hua, when will the emperor come? I am hungry."

The little guy looked so pitiful that it was inevitable that Nian Shilan would feel distressed.

"All right."

Nian Shilan comforted him softly, then turned to Songzhi and said, "Songzhi, go see if there are any cakes in the kitchen and bring them to the Fourth Prince. The Emperor won't come, and he won't be hungry like this."

Jin Xi smiled as she watched this scene: "Although the Queen has never given birth, she is really meticulous in taking care of the Fourth Prince."

In fact, even Hua Fei herself didn't notice it. After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment.

Yes, I never knew that I could take care of children like this, and I never realized that children could be so cute.

Not to mention that Hongli has been with me since he was a child, and it has only been one day. Is my motherly love overflowing?

"No, Jinxi, don't talk nonsense. I'm just helping to look after him for two days."

In fact, Concubine Hua is also soft-hearted, but she just doesn't want to admit it.

"Your Majesty, there is another piece of flower cake." As she said that, Songzhi brought the flower cake to Nian Shilan, not knowing whether the Fourth Prince would eat it or not.

Seeing this, Hongli quickly reached out for it. He took it and ate it with relish, as if he had never eaten it before.

"My goodness, why are you so hungry?"

Nian Shilan also knew that the princes in the palace were all pampered. How could Hongli be so hungry? Nian Shilan felt heartbroken when she saw it.

"I'm afraid that because Concubine Wang is out of favor, even the Fourth Prince has been ignored. Poor Fourth Prince, he's just a child." Jin Xi couldn't help but shook her head and sighed.

"Songzhi, go and see why the emperor hasn't come yet?!"

Nian Shilan was a little anxious because of the broken rules in the palace. If the emperor didn't come, no one else could eat first. If it weren't for this rule, the Fourth Prince wouldn't have been hungry for so long.

Just as she finished speaking, Songzhi was about to go out when she saw the emperor coming towards her at the door.

"Your servant pays respects to the emperor." Songzhi did not expect to see the emperor as soon as she went out. She quickly bowed and greeted him, trying not to let the emperor catch her fault because of her recklessness.

"Why are you running so fast?" the emperor asked as he walked.

"Your Majesty~"

Seeing the emperor coming, Nian Shilan also hurried over to greet him. Songzhi naturally didn't need to answer the emperor's question: "I was wondering why the emperor hasn't come yet, so I asked Songzhi to go and see first."
