The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to be still immersed in the unhappiness just now. Seeing this, Su Peisheng, who was standing by, became more and more trembling, and did not even dare to breathe, for fear of angering the emperor and getting into trouble.

A moment later, the eunuch from the Jingshifang came in cautiously with a tray full of green cards. He secretly groaned in his heart while stealing a glance at the emperor's expression. You know, the emperor in front of him is moody, and the slightest mistake may bring about a fatal disaster. At this moment, Su Peisheng secretly winked at him, indicating that he should report the matter quickly.

The eunuch understood what was meant and said to the emperor boldly, "Your Majesty, the time has come. Please turn over the cards."

The emperor was thinking about something and was interrupted. He was a little impatient, but he still glanced at the tray. However, to his surprise, he did not see the green card with "Wen Da Ying"!

The emperor frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Why is the green card that Wen promised to give gone?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the eunuch in the Jingshifang trembled with fear, knelt down quickly, and answered in panic: "In reply to the emperor, this evening, Aunt Songzhi, who is beside Concubine Hua, came to visit. She said that Concubine Hua thought that Wen Yingda was still lacking in etiquette and rules, and was worried that it would offend the emperor, so she ordered the servants to temporarily take down Wen Yingda's green card, and hang it up again after the aunt tutor has taught her properly in the future." After saying that, the little eunuch lay on the ground, trembling, not daring to look up.

After hearing what the eunuch from the Jingshifang said, the emperor's tense face instantly relaxed and he smiled brightly. He gently rebuked, "Shilan is becoming more and more willful."

However, from the emperor's gentle tone and smiling expression, it can be seen that he is actually very satisfied with Nian Shilan's behavior.

Then the emperor added: "In this case, let's do as Concubine Hua says!" Upon hearing this, the eunuchs in the Jingshifang nodded in agreement, indicating that they would obey his orders.

The emperor turned over Nian Shilan's green card without hesitation. Seeing this, Su Peisheng, who was standing by, immediately ordered his men to prepare the sedan chair and be ready to set off for Yiku Palace at any time.

When the emperor arrived at the Yikun Palace, he saw Nian Shilan playing with the Fifth Prince with great interest. When the Fifth Prince saw the emperor coming, he immediately danced with excitement and staggered towards the emperor, calling out incoherently: "Father... Emperor Father..."

The emperor joyfully held the Fifth Prince in his arms, smiled lovingly and said, "Haha, my Fifth Prince can already speak now!" His words were filled with joy for the child's growth.

When Nian Shilan saw the emperor coming, a smile as brilliant as a spring flower blossomed on her face, and she said softly and gracefully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I wonder how you have time to come to my palace today? I heard that there are many young and beautiful sisters in the harem recently. Will your Majesty not go to visit them?"

When the emperor heard Nian Shilan mention the newcomers in the harem, his mind involuntarily recalled what the chief steward of the Jingshifang had reported to him tonight. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He then turned to the nurse beside him and ordered, "Take the Fifth Prince away." Then he waved his hand, signaling the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to leave.

When they were the only two left in the hall, the emperor slowly sat down, reached out and took Nian Shilan's hand, asked her to sit beside him, and asked softly: "Just now, the eunuchs in the Jingshifang told me that you ordered the removal of Wen Yingda's green card. Is this true?"

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's question, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved, but she pretended to be angry and pouted her lips and said, "Did the emperor come to me on purpose to question me?"

The emperor laughed loudly upon seeing this, stroked Nian Shilan's hair and consoled her, "What nonsense are you talking about! I am just worried that the ignorant fellow has angered my beloved concubine and caused her to suffer injustice."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan's face became serious. She raised her head slightly and said with a firm look: "Today, when I was free, I suddenly thought of the sisters who had just entered the palace. As a concubine, I think I should personally give them a gift to show my care and concern, and at the same time show everyone how much the emperor values ​​them. So, I came to the Chuxiu Palace where Wen Ying was.

Nian Shilan glanced at the emperor and continued, "Who would have thought that when I entered Wen Ying's palace, as soon as she saw me, she blurted out that I was 'a beauty of the country and a fragrance of heaven'! Although I have not read much, I am from a noble family after all, and I know that the word 'a beauty of the country and a fragrance of heaven' is used to describe the queen! This Wen Ying is so ignorant of etiquette and does not abide by the rules, which is really infuriating! I thought to myself that if I don't teach her in time and let her go on like this, she will definitely cause greater trouble in the future. Not only will it undermine the peace and order of the harem, but it will also bring shame and humiliation to the emperor. Therefore, I sent Songzhi to remove Wen Ying's green card and asked Xin Changzai to hire a teaching nanny for her to let her understand the rules and etiquette of the palace, so as to avoid making the same mistake in the future and losing the face of the royal family."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the emperor was very pleased and nodded his head repeatedly to express his appreciation: "My beloved concubine! You handled this matter very well! I believe that the queen has been in poor health recently and may feel incapable of handling trivial matters in the six palaces. From tomorrow on, I have decided to restore your power to assist in managing the six palaces. You must not refuse it anymore. I hope you can do your best to manage this huge harem for me."

Nian Shilan was secretly delighted when she heard this, but she just smiled on the surface. She had never thought of refusing such a gift. After all, how could the power granted by the emperor be compared with what she had begged for? This was very good. When she assisted in managing the six palaces in the future, she could create trouble for Wen Dan even more freely.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan immediately agreed reluctantly, saying that he would do his best to live up to the emperor's grace. However, deep in his heart, he had already planned how to use this new power to launch a more intense court struggle.

The next morning, the sun shone through the windows onto the gorgeous carpet in the palace, creating patches of light and shadow. However, in stark contrast to this peaceful atmosphere, a piece of news that shocked the harem spread like wildfire - the emperor actually stayed in the Yikun Palace last night!

This news was like a bombshell, shocking the entire harem. After hearing this, all the concubines secretly sighed in their hearts: "Empress Hua is really charming and has won the emperor's heart! There is a new person entering the palace, and the emperor even went to the Yikun Palace." They couldn't help but envy Concubine Hua's favor.

For a while, all kinds of discussions filled every corner of the harem. Some palace maids whispered to each other about this shocking event; some eunuchs showed off their inside information to other palace people with flattering smiles. The concubines of lower status stood silently by, with helplessness and jealousy in their eyes.

Hua Guifei herself naturally became the focus of the new couple's attention. Her charming appearance, noble and elegant temperament, and innate majesty made other women pale in comparison. Now that she has received such favor from the emperor, it is even more unattainable.
