Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Yes, thank you, Concubine."

Since Nian Shilan didn't blame her, Li Jingui got up quickly.

Looking at the people present, all of them were living a life of luxury, but I, being just a slave, seemed a little out of place.

The Empress Defei had clearly promised me that after I gave birth to the child, she would let me enter the palace and give me a status, but why has there been no movement until now? I can't see the Empress Defei on weekdays, maybe the concubine Nian can help me to ask for it.

"Concubine, can you see the Empress Defei on weekdays?"

Several people were chatting, but Li Jingui's voice suddenly interrupted them. They all looked at Li Jingui.

"Sure. What's wrong? What's the matter, sister?" Nian Shilan asked.

Li Jingui and Defei didn't have much interaction on weekdays, so why did she think of asking Defei now?

Knowing that he had to entrust this matter to Nian Shilan, Li Jingui quickly stood up and bowed, looking very serious.

She actually bowed. What was the important matter that made her do this? Nian Shilan didn't know, so she just waited for Li Jingui to speak.

"That was when I was still in the Old Summer Palace. One day, by chance, Sister Wang Jin and I were punished in the Old Summer Palace. Concubine De saw it. When she saw that I was pregnant, she knew that it must be the prince's child, so she let me live in Penglai Prefecture and let Sister Wang Jin take care of me. The queen said that when I gave birth to the child, she would let me enter the palace and give me a status. But now, I am almost out of confinement, and I don't know if Concubine De still remembers this."

After listening to Li Jingui's narration, most people knew what was going on and what Li Jingui meant. Wasn't it obvious that she wanted Nian Shilan to speak for her?

Not knowing whether Nian Shilan would agree, Qi Yuebin coughed lightly, trying to attract Nian Shilan's attention.

When Shilan looked at Qi Yuebin that year, he could tell from the look in Qi Yuebin's eyes that she had something to say, she wanted to tell him something.

Qi Yuebin shook his head meaningfully.

I have been with Qi Yuebin for such a long time, so I naturally know what Qi Yuebin means. She just wants me not to help her.

Li Jingui was out of favor, which was not difficult to see from Yinzhen's attitude towards her. If Yinzhen wanted to give her a position, he would have given it to her long ago. Why wait until now? Nian Shilan knew that it was meaningless for her to speak up.

"Sister, do you want me to ask the Empress Defei for you?"

Seeing that Nian Shilan understood what he meant, Li Jingui nodded repeatedly: "The concubine is indeed very smart."

"Perhaps, I can only give my sister a suggestion, but I don't know what the result will be." Nian Shilan agreed verbally but did not say when.

Nian Shilan originally thought that she would just agree verbally, and when the day came or when Hongli's full moon banquet came, if Yinzhen was in a good mood, she could say a word.

I'm afraid there's no time to rush. I know the temperaments of this mother and son very well. If I say anything now, it will harm Li Jingui instead.

So much time has passed, and Defei and Yinzhen have not taken any action to get rid of Li Jingui, so Nian Shilan has not paid much attention to this matter.

"Yes, thank you, Concubine."

Although everyone did not hate Li Jingui, they all disapproved of what Nian Shilan did. Why should she risk her own favor to ask for a position for Li Jingui?

"Sister, your body has not fully recovered yet, so it is not advisable for you to move around too much. You should go back to your room and rest first."

Qi Yuebin found an excuse to send Li Jingui out. After all, there were some things that were not suitable to be said in front of Li Jingui.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, sister. Now that you mention it, I feel a little pain in my waist. I will go back first."

Anyway, I have finished my plea. Since they are chatting and I can't get a word in, I might as well go back to my room first. I have been sitting for so long and I feel a little tired.

Li Jingui went out for a while, and Qi Yuebin winked at Jixiang, asking her to go out and check.

"It's gone far."

"Shilan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but didn't I just give you a look, telling you not to agree to her?"

Qi Yuebin looked very angry. It was really not worth it for Nian Shilan to take risks for her.

"Sister, I know what you mean. Don't be angry. Shilan is not stupid and she will naturally not tell it." Nian Shilan said with a smile.

"Li Jingui actually had the nerve to ask the concubine for help in this matter. I really don't know how she asked that. Doesn't she know that the prince doesn't like her? It's a waste that she has lived in our courtyard for such a long time. We have taken good care of her on weekdays." Feng Ruozhao said angrily.

"People go up, water flows down. Doesn't she also want a good future? I know that the prince doesn't like her, and I won't mention it. I just want to help if I can. Everyone has difficulties."

Nian Shilan sighed and said.

"Forget it. It's hard for you to be so kind, but you must remember not to let yourself suffer any grievance. In everything, put yourself first." Qi Yuebin explained carefully to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan also listened and nodded repeatedly.

Li Jingui kept drinking tonic medicine to nourish her body, and soon, the day of Hongli's full moon arrived.

At the family dinner, there was singing and dancing, and everyone was gathered together happily, except for Hongli's biological mother, Li Jingui!

A slave is certainly not worthy of attending this banquet.

Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin sat together. Looking at Hongli's young face and the laughter of the crowd, they felt mixed emotions.

"Alas, it is a pity for a mother to not be able to attend her son's full moon banquet."

"Everyone has their own destiny. We just need to live our own lives. Why worry about others? As long as we don't have any regrets, that's good enough."

Qi Yuebin raised his glass to comfort her and invited Nian Shilan to drink with him.

Su Peisheng hurriedly walked in from outside, went to Yinzhen and whispered something to him.

Nian Shilan saw it all, but didn't know what it was.

"Zhou Ninghai, go and find out what happened."

Nian Shilan immediately sent Zhou Ninghai out. She was worried. Could it be that Su Peisheng was talking about her brother? Could it be that her brother had gotten into trouble again? He didn't even mention the possibility. She had clearly told him about it, and he should have remembered it by heart.

He turned around and looked at Yinzhen's face. He was calm, composed and smiling. He continued the family dinner as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Zhou Ninghai came back and whispered something into Nian Shilan's ear.

"Concubine, I have inquired about it. It is Li Jingui. She is dead!"
