Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

If his personal servants were so arrogant, wouldn't he have been even more outrageous in his previous life? And his brother! Nian Gengyao, who had made great military achievements! It was too obvious, no wonder the Nian family was wiped out!

"Remember this, you two! I'll just say this here, but only for this time! When you're out there, be sure to watch your mouth! Otherwise, I won't even know how I died!" Nian Shilan's tone was extremely serious. The two of them nodded repeatedly in fear.

After a pause, he continued, "Songzhi, go tell my brother not to be arrogant! Don't take credit for yourself! You must be extremely cautious."

Nian Shilan has never been like this. In the past, when Nian Gengyao made military achievements, Nian Shilan would always boast about them. But why is she so cautious now? This is unlike her usual personality.

Although it was strange, Songzhi still did as she was told. Perhaps Nian Shilan's personality had changed.

Nian Gengyao had made great military achievements, and even Su Peisheng had a smile on his face like a flower, but Nian Shilan alone did not look happy and looked extremely worried.

"Concubine, please have a piece of crab roe cake. Don't be angry. It's my fault. I said the wrong thing." Zhou Ninghai gave a piece of crab roe cake to Nian Shilan, then knelt down and slapped himself repeatedly.

Snap, snap, snap, again and again.

"Alright, alright, after all, it's not your fault. It's my brother who is too proud of himself." Nian Shilan sighed softly. I hope Nian Gengyao will listen to my advice and be more restrained.

After a psychological struggle along the way, Yinzhen finally arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace.

"Empress Defei, the Fourth Prince is here." A little palace maid came in and reported.

Yinzhen is here! When she heard that it was Yinzhen who was here! Defei's eyes lit up instantly! She had never seen Yinzhen or spoken to him since the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that Yinzhen was willing to come in person, the relationship between the mother and son was off to a good start.

"Hurry up and call him in!" Defei quickly put down the book in her hand, waiting for Yinzhen to come in and call her mother.

"Son pays his respects to mother." Although he said auspicious words, Yinzhen's face remained gloomy.

"Hey, hey. Hurry up, hurry up and get up." This cry of "mother" made Defei almost cry, and she quickly agreed. She personally went down to the bed to help Yinzhen up.

Although Yinzhen was here, he kept his head down and was unwilling to look at Concubine De.

"Fourth brother, you haven't visited mother for a long time." Defei said earnestly.

"Today, I heard that Uncle Longkodo helped me and made great contributions. I am very grateful. I thought it would be a long time before I saw my mother again, so I rushed here from the mansion."

"Okay, it's good to do meritorious service. I'm glad I can help you." Defei nodded with a smile.

Defei also knew that Yinzhen came to see her because Longkodo had made great contributions, and for no other reason. He just needed Longkodo, so he showed his deep mother-son love to her.

The room was silent for a long time, and the mother and son did not have anything extra or intimate to say to each other.

De Fei spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere: "In a few days, I will go to the Old Summer Palace to stay for a few days. Your Royal Father said that I and Concubine Shu will accompany him to receive a foreign envoy. During the days when your Royal Father is not in the palace, you must remember not to cause trouble."

"Yes, I understand. If you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave." Yinzhen said hurriedly and left.

It wasn't about whether Concubine De was okay or not. She just didn't want to stay there and was looking for an excuse to leave.

"Jianqiu, have you gone to invite the prince?" Yixiu sat at the table, waiting for Yinzhen to come for dinner.

Jianqiu also hesitantly said, "Fujin, I just went to invite Xiaoxiazi, who said that the prince has entered the palace, and then, we will go to the concubine's place tonight." Jianqiu lowered her head. Even though Yinzhen had not been invited, she did not dare to look up at Yixiu, for fear of seeing Yixiu's angry face.

"Oh? Why did it happen to the concubine last year?"

"I heard that it was because Concubine Nian's brother Nian Gengyao made great contributions." Jianqiu said again.

After hearing this, Yixiu sneered, "That's it."

The reason why Nian Shilan was so favored was naturally inseparable from Nian Gengyao's great military achievements. Yixiu had long been accustomed to it. Whenever Nian Gengyao made a contribution, it was Nian Shilan who received the favor alone. Yixiu had long been accustomed to it.

Nian Shilan was almost ready and waiting for Yinzhen's arrival.

"Shilan pays her respects to the prince." Nian Shilan knelt at the door with a charming look to greet Yinzhen.

Yinzhen smiled and walked forward to pull her up. Then he walked into the house with a smile.

"Do you know that your brother has made another contribution and has really pleased me." Yinzhen said with a smile, touching Nian Shilan's hand. He was extremely gentle now.

Without the arrogance and majesty of a prince, he seemed more like the husband of an ordinary family.

Hearing that her brother had made another military achievement, Nian Shilan smiled lightly, "Brother, it is your duty to work for the prince. It is your blessing to work for the prince. But the prince must not give him too many rewards. I don't want him to be proud."

The purpose of Nian Shilan's words was probably to protect Nian Gengyao and the Nian family.

"You don't ask for merit for your brother. If another brother had made a contribution, as his sister, I would have wanted to ask for a first-class merit for him and reward him with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. People like you are rare." Yinzhen said with a smile.

These words made Yinzhen see not Nian Shilan's cautiousness, but the purity that came into his eyes. He was relieved that his own Shilan had such a broad vision.

But this just made Yinzhen want to reward Nian Gengyao even more.

"Shilan is so sensible, how can I let her down?" He patted Shilan's hand and said, "Su Peisheng!"

"The slave is here."

"Last year, the government announced that Nian Gengyao would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and that he would also be given the calligraphy and painting that I treasured." Yinzhen said with a smile, but his eyes never left Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan could only smile stiffly. After all, she couldn't stop Yinzhen's decision, and the more she tried to stop him, the more excited he became. Forget it, just let him be, and she would just remind her brother more often.

Soon, Su Peisheng came to the Nian Mansion with rewards.

Seeing that it was Su Peisheng, Nian Gengyao was also very attentive and quickly stood up to greet him. After receiving the reward, he shouted "Thank you, Lord!" His voice was so loud that he was afraid that others would not know that it was he, Nian Gengyao, who had done a great deed.

Seeing this, his wife at the side quickly reminded him, "Master, have you forgotten that my younger sister sent Songzhi to pass on a message today? Don't get carried away! You must be cautious and careful!"

Nian Gengyao suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes, we have to pay attention. My younger sister has told us. By the way, Madam, do you feel that my younger sister is different from before? When did she become so cautious?"
