Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Wang Jin just mentioned it, and he didn't know whether Nian Shilan would agree. However, Concubine Hua usually loved Hongli more, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

In fact, this is an extraordinary period, and Hongli is indeed safer with Concubine Hua and can be better taken care of. After all, she is a concubine, while he is just a small noble.

Nian Shilan didn't answer in a hurry, but was stunned for a moment: "Sister, are you really willing to give it up?"

Nian Shilan herself understood this truth. It was indeed much more convenient to keep Hongli with her than with Wang Jin.

"Sister, as long as it's for Hongli's good, there's nothing I'm reluctant to give up. I just don't know if you're willing to do it."

Seeing that Nian Shilan might still be interested, Wang Jin requested again.

"Okay, then I'll do as my sister says."

Originally, Nian Shilan liked Hongli very much, so she naturally agreed.

Moreover, she always felt that the little eunuch just now was not that simple.

During the current epidemic, it is best not to move around. After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she quickly took Hongli back.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also distributed medicinal materials in various palaces.

"Zhou Ninghai, go out and see if all the medicinal herbs in the palaces are gathered?"

Now the emperor is already overwhelmed in the previous dynasty, and the power to manage the six palaces is in my hands. It is only right for me to ask about it, otherwise the emperor will inevitably blame me for not doing my best.

"Yes."

Zhou Ninghai responded and went downstairs to do it.

"Your Majesty is truly dedicated to this harem."

Songzhi said something only after Zhou Ninghai left.

"It's natural that our queen cares about the six palaces."

Songzhi's words were obviously meant to flatter you, but Nian Shilan didn't respond and it was Jinxi who said something instead.

In fact, it’s not that Nian Shilan cares about the six palaces, but if she doesn’t use this power in her hands, it will inevitably be taken away by others. She should make the best use of it.

Otherwise, not to mention the concubines in the six palaces, even the Queen Mother would have objections.

Oh, the Queen Mother! Nian Shilan had forgotten about the Queen Mother. Now, she must go to the Queen Mother in person.

This will show how much I value the Queen Mother. With the Queen Mother's favor, it will be much more convenient for me to work in the palace in the future.

"Let's go to Shoukang Palace."

Nian Shilan stood up and was about to leave. Songzhi tried to stop her, but Jinxi quickly went to find clothes for Nian Shilan.

"My queen, there are epidemics everywhere now, so you'd better move less."

Songzhi really cares about Nian Shilan, but she has to go this time.

"Your Highness, I have found you a plainer dress. We are going to see the Queen Mother. Besides, there is an epidemic going on, so it is better not to wear something too flashy."

Jinxi handed the clothes over as she spoke.

She has been in the palace for so many years and can completely understand why Nian Shilan did this. The more critical the moment, the more she can win people's hearts.

But Nian Shilan also knew that she could not take care of the Nian Mansion, so now she could only do her best in the palace.

"Alright."

Nian Shilan smiled at Jinxi, then hurried to change her clothes. She also comforted Songzhi: "Songzhi, I know your feelings, but now is an extraordinary period after all, and I am in need of people. There is nothing I can do about it. I also know that you are really worried about me."

In fact, Nian Shilan knew everything about Songzhi's thoughts. She knew how good Songzhi was to her in her previous life. Her kindness to her had not diminished at all now, and was even better.

Maybe it’s because I have treated them better in this life.

"Yes, Aunt Jinxi has considered everything carefully."

Since Concubine Hua said so, Songzhi certainly couldn't say anything, so she followed her.

As expected, the Empress Dowager's palace was filled with the smell of mugwort, which was very choking.

Although the mugwort was burned in the morning, a strong smell still permeated Shoukang Palace, and even the empress dowager's face turned bad.

She hasn't been infected with the epidemic yet, but her complexion looks even worse than that of someone infected with the epidemic. But it's understandable because the empress dowager is old.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and happiness."

Although Nian Shilan said auspicious words, the Queen Mother could not be happy.

"Get up."

The Queen Mother sighed and continued, "Wan'an, I do miss Wan'an, but now I can't even open my eyes because of the smoke."

It was precisely because of the epidemic that not only the Emperor was upset, but even the Empress Dowager was too.

For half a month, the emperor spent ten hours a day in the Yangxin Palace reviewing memorials, also about the epidemic, but now there is nothing he can do.

"Yes, seeing the emperor and the queen mother like this, I feel heartbroken."

Nian Shilan did not come here empty-handed this time: "Empress Dowager, I think you are precious, so I brought some supplements with me."

As he said that, he asked someone to take the things out.

In fact, this was also something my brother asked someone to send to me on a normal day. I couldn't eat such good things in the palace, but I couldn't use it for the time being. It just so happened that it came in handy today.

It would be worth it if I could please the Queen Mother.

"It's hard for you, kid. You think about me all the time."

Seeing Nian Shilan being so filial, the Queen Mother's expression became much better.

She is so sensible, no wonder the emperor loves her. Now the power to manage the six palaces is in her hands, and the empress dowager also hopes that she can manage the harem in an orderly manner.

"It's nothing, Queen Mother, just take good care of yourself. There is an epidemic in the capital now, and I am really worried about you, Queen Mother. I have to come and see you in person to feel at ease."

Nian Shilan said happy words to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also happy in her heart. Although she knew that there must be nothing wrong in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, she still had to come here in person this time.

"I'm fine, but I can't go out all day, I'm really bored. Fortunately, you can come and talk to me."

The Queen Mother felt a little relieved as she spoke: "It's hard for the Emperor to be so cautious. Since the epidemic broke out in the capital, he has not asked me to go out. I think, how can I be so fragile."

Although the empress dowager looked helpless, she could understand the emperor's filial piety.

Although the emperor imprisoned the fourteenth prince, he was truly filial to the empress dowager.

"You also have to keep an eye on that side, not to mention there are children in Yikun Palace."

As she spoke, the empress dowager brought up Hongli. Although the emperor's attitude towards him had changed, he was still of royal blood after all, and was the one the empress dowager valued the most.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Hongli is with me. I like children too. They are smart, clever and well-behaved. I will treat them as my own and give them the best things."
