Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

The emperor's expression suddenly became serious.

Zhen Huan looked puzzled, but still listened carefully to what the Emperor said.

"What's wrong, Shiro? I wonder how Huanhuan can help Shiro?"

Zhen Huan said gently.

Zhen Huan's smiling face was reflected in the emperor's eyes, and the emperor slowly spoke after seeing it.

"What I want to say is about Shilan. I plan to restore her to the position of Consort Hua. What do you think?"

The emperor paused and stared at Zhen Huan's face quietly.

It is not difficult to see that as soon as the emperor finished speaking.

Although the expression was subtle, the emperor could still detect the subtle changes in her expression.

If this were Chunyuan, he would probably support his decision without hesitation.

Before Zhen Huan could even open her mouth, the Emperor spoke again: "Forget it, now that you are pregnant, let's put this matter aside for later."

After saying this, the emperor stood up and was about to leave.

But no matter how stupid Zhen Huan was, she could see that the emperor was unhappy.

She grabbed the emperor and they were talking nicely, but just because she hesitated for a moment, the emperor looked unhappy.

It can be seen that even though she is pregnant with this child now, she still has to think that she is very important in the emperor's heart.

It seems that the emperor cares about Nian Shilan more.

Although the emperor had implicated the Nian family before, he would not touch Nian Shilan at all, he just demoted her position.

"Your Majesty, I naturally support your intention. Concubine Hua has always been the most considerate of Your Majesty and has always taken good care of me. I naturally respect and love Concubine Hua."

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

How could she not know what the emperor was thinking now? Even if she disagreed, the emperor would only keep quiet for a while for the sake of the child in her belly.

Since the Emperor can now bring up the matter of restoring Concubine Hua, he must be determined.

There are only a few concubines in the harem now. The queen has lost her power, and Nian Shilan has been the emperor's favorite for many years.

If the emperor really didn't care, he wouldn't have let her live until now. Maybe he really likes her.

"Do you really think so?"

The emperor didn't seem to believe that Zhen Huan was so aware, but when he heard Zhen Huan say this, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

This way, things will be easier.

The emperor slowly bent down and sat in front of Zhen Huan's window again, holding her hand, just like an ordinary couple.

In fact, Zhen Huan also has her own considerations.

Without the queen to preside over the harem, the harem now seems like a group of dragons without a leader.

I am pregnant again. With so many eyes in this palace, aren't they all staring at me?

After spending some time together, Nian Shilan has been helping me from time to time. If I agree with Concubine Hua's restoration to the throne, it means that the baby in my belly can be saved.

Zhen Huan would naturally not miss a deal that would benefit her.

"I wonder how the emperor plans to reinstate Concubine Hua? Why not ask the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day?"

Zhen Huan’s thoughts were thorough, but the Emperor had already made up his mind.

"That's not necessary. The fifth day of next month is a good day. The title remains the same, and the position is that of a noble concubine. She is graceful and elegant, and she is worthy of Shilan."

The emperor paused and said, "But I still want to add a few things. As the head of all the concubines, Shilan's food, clothing and expenses are naturally better than others. I have thought about renovating the Yikun Palace, which can be regarded as compensation for Shilan during this period of time."

Zhen Huan didn't say anything, nor did she know what to say. The emperor was so engrossed in what he was saying that he didn't even give her a chance to interrupt.

The emperor loves her sincerely.

Even Zhen Huan herself, who was pregnant, had never experienced such treatment. However, the Nian family was now in decline, and the emperor could no longer count on Nian Gengyao to lead troops into battle, so he was still willing to give Nian Shilan so much.

"You want to restore the Nian family?"

The emperor couldn't wait to come to the empress dowager and inform her of his decision. If he could get the empress dowager's approval, it would be icing on the cake.

"That's what my son meant."

The emperor did not deny it and continued, "I think that now that Nian Gengyao is dead and the Nian family is settled, Shilan's love for me is real. After all, I have been married to Shilan for many years. Now I think I should give Shilan some compensation. Besides, I think that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and there has been no happy event in the palace for a long time. I can use this event to bring some joy and get rid of the bad luck for the Empress Dowager."

"Alas. It's hard for you to be so filial." The Queen Mother sighed after listening to the Emperor's words. "Shilan is a pitiful child. But you have to know that if you kill her father and brother, will she still treat you the same way as before?"

As the queen mother, she had to take this aspect into consideration.

But she was right. This sentence also made the emperor suspicious.

After pondering for a long time, the emperor finally spoke slowly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Shilan is not a bad person. Moreover, a husband and wife are bound by love for each other for a hundred days. Shilan is sincere to her son. Besides, Hongli is being raised in Yikun Palace now, so she can have someone to accompany her in this deep palace."

"To be honest, it's my son who is sorry for Shilan."

"Forget it, it's up to you. But since you have such information, why can't you share some with the queen? After all, she is your legitimate wife."

Having said that, the Queen Mother couldn't help but mention her niece who was under house arrest.

It’s no wonder that the emperor is impatient. This is exactly what he hates to hear the most.

The Empress Dowager was ill, so the Emperor naturally could not argue with her: "My son's wife passed away when she gave birth to the Second Prince. Yixiu is only the successor. The Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty will always be Chunyuan. As for Yixiu, my son will make the decision. Don't worry about it, Empress Dowager."

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the empress dowager knew that she could not say anything more.

Soon, the Empress Dowager's decree and the Emperor's imperial edict came down.

Before this, Nian Shilan had no idea about this news.

When Concubine Duan came to me just now, I was a little bit unbelieving, until Su Peisheng came to me with the imperial edict.

"Congratulations to the imperial concubine, congratulations to the imperial concubine."

After the imperial edict was read, Su Peisheng respectfully presented it with both hands.

Seeing that Nian Shilan had not responded yet, Su Peisheng whispered a reminder: "My Lady, please accept the decree and express your gratitude."

Only then did Nian Shilan come back to her senses.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace. Long live the emperor." Although I don't know how disgusting this sentence "Long live the emperor" is, I still have to go through the motions.

"Thank you, Eunuch Su."
