Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Su Peisheng took the clothes and put them on Yinzhen piece by piece. He had been serving Yinzhen like this since he was a child.

"Su Peisheng, I remember that you were not in front of the Qianqing Palace yesterday, why are you here with Fu Jin today?"

"Your Highness, don't you remember that you and Concubine Nian drank too much in the Qianqing Palace yesterday? I asked Eunuch Li to prepare a sedan chair before returning to the palace." Su Peisheng said.

"Then it should be at Shilan's place. Why is it here?" Yinzhen asked again.

"This..." Su Peisheng hesitated and looked at Yixiu.

Yixiu took the initiative to say, "Your Highness, you forgot that yesterday was the fifteenth day. According to the rules set by our ancestors, the first and fifteenth day of each month should be spent with the legal wife. I dare not disrespect her. Besides, as your legal wife, it is my duty to wait by your side when Your Highness is drunk."

"You are abiding by the rules." Yinzhen sneered. Even if it was the fifteenth, he didn't want to be here with Yixiu.

"I remember that Shilan also drank a lot yesterday. I wonder if she has woken up or if she is still feeling uncomfortable." Yinzhen thought of Shilan again. They had just been separated for one night, but for some reason he could not stop thinking about her.

"Fujin, please don't pay your respects today." Yinzhen paused for a moment and then spoke again.

"Yes, I was thinking that Sister Shilan drank too much yesterday, so there is no need to come over to pay respects. Your health is the most important thing." Seeing Yinzhen say this, Yixiu also went along with it and did a favor. She had to establish an image of being considerate.

"Your Highness, let me say that Concubine Jin has a really good alcohol tolerance. I think she is fine now." Su Peisheng continued Yinzhen's words.

"tell me the story."

Not bad? How good can it be? Is it better than Yinzhen's?

"After I came back from the palace yesterday, I saw you lying in the concubine's room, and you... this concubine was still able to sit steadily on the couch. I guess there shouldn't be too much." Su Peisheng almost let the cat out of the bag while talking. Although Yixiu also heard Yinzhen talking nonsense last night, it's better not to mention it.

His hesitation to speak was like a bright spot in this boring and delayed conversation, which attracted Yinzhen's attention. "What else?"

Somehow, I always feel that Yinzhen at this time has a sense of oppression as the ruler of the world.

"No, nothing. Where are you going, Your Majesty?" Su Peisheng was so scared that he quickly changed the subject. Fortunately, Yinzhen didn't keep asking and nagging. Otherwise, how could he explain it?

"Let's go see Shilan. I missed her so much. I should have accompanied her last night. I was drunk anyway, so we should have taken care of each other. But I didn't expect to end up at Fujin's place."

"Haha, Your Majesty, you couldn't take care of the concubine the way you were last night." Su Peisheng laughed awkwardly.

Yinzhen had the nerve to say this. Only Yixiu was willing to take care of him since he reeked of alcohol. As for Nian Shilan, she was still pretty much the love-brained girl she once was.

"In that case, it's my fault." Yixiu pretended to blame herself.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't mean to blame you. As your legitimate wife, it's my duty to accompany you." How could a gentleman care about a little girl? He just coaxed her and it was over.

"I'm leaving. I'll come see you another day."

Yinzhen walked out of the room without looking back. Outside the door, he was free. Inside the room, he felt only nagging, oppressive, and bound by various rules.

The weather was fine and the autumn sun was as gentle as a little girl, not as scorching as the summer sun. Zhou Ninghai was wandering around the courtyard alone, feeling very bored. He didn't notice the usual joking with Songzhi.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, squeak, squeak."

Zhou Ninghai tried to make various noises to attract Songzhi's attention in the house, but sure enough, he was scolded the next second!

"Zhou Ninghai! Are you itching for trouble? The concubine hasn't woken up yet! If you disturb her rest, I will report to her and have you beaten with twenty boards." Songzhi heard the noise outside and saw that it was Zhou Ninghai who was causing trouble, so she grabbed his ear and scolded him.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Let go of me, auntie!! Your voice is much louder than mine. If you really disturbed the concubine's rest, I don't know who is to blame." Zhou Ninghai shouted, covering his ears.

As soon as Songzhi let go, he quickly protected her with a ferocious look on his face. This little girl was really ruthless. She used so much strength that her body became red and hot due to the twisting.

Songzhi couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhou Ninghai's funny look, but she immediately hid it and returned to her usual cold demeanor. Seeing Songzhi laughing, he secretly rejoiced in his heart and said, "You are so cruel. If your ear is twisted off, how can I obey Concubine's orders and serve her?"

"Humph, you deserve it." Song Zhi looked so cute with a little tsundere look. "I won't talk to you any more. I'm going back to my room." Before Zhou Ninghai could say anything, Song Zhi ran away.

Zhou Ninghai was stunned as he watched Songzhi's staggering back. He scratched his head with a silly smile. Although he was a eunuch and had experienced sufferings that others could not endure, this little girl healed him.

Su Peisheng's voice came from behind, "Prince, please slow down and be careful of the steps."

Su Peisheng carefully supported Yinzhen, and was so diligent that he wanted to pick Yinzhen up and walk away.

When Zhou Ninghai saw Yinzhen coming, he was also busy being attentive. "I pay my respects to the prince."

To be a servant, one has to be diligent and sweet-spoken in order to have a good future. Even though no matter how good the future is, one can't get rid of the word "servant", servants are still divided into different levels.

"Where's Shilan? Is she up yet?" Yinzhen quickened his pace since he entered the yard, and couldn't wait to see this woman.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is still asleep." Zhou Ninghai said behind him.

Asleep? These two words stood out. Yinzhen slowed down his pace, gently opened the door, and walked towards the bedroom. When Songzhi was about to salute, Yinzhen reached out to stop her, fearing that it would disturb Shilan's rest.

He sat gently on the bed, the smell of alcohol on his body had not yet faded. Songzhi was very uncomfortable with the smell, but she tried her best to hold it back.

"If I had known she was coming, I shouldn't have come in just now." Songzhi could only think about it in her heart, feeling miserable.

In fact, it would have been better if Yinzhen had not come. Nian Shilan was sleeping soundly, and Zhou Ninghai's loud noise just now did not wake her up. But when Yinzhen came, the smell of alcohol on his body made Nian Shilan open her eyes. She didn't even need to turn around. She knew who it was as soon as she smelled the alcohol. It was as bad as last night!

She slowly turned around, slightly opened her eyes, and looked at the unshaven man in the dim light, "Why did the prince have time to come here? Why didn't you spend more time with the concubine?"
