The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 13: Broken Jade Pavilion

On the way back from paying their respects, Concubine Shen and An Da Ying saw Concubine Hua sitting in the sedan chair in front of them. After thinking for a moment, they quickly walked forward.

"I would like to thank Empress Hua for what happened today." Before Concubine Shen could finish her words, she was interrupted by Empress Hua with a smile.

"I have said that we are all sisters once we enter the palace. And I am not wrong. It is your ability to win the emperor's favor. If someone embarrasses you because of this, and you blame others for your own incompetence, then I really despise you."

Nian Shilan wanted to make friends with Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, but she also knew that she couldn't act too hastily. After all, how many of the concubines who entered the palace were really pure-hearted? Besides, there were so many eyes in the harem staring at her, so she couldn't let others see any clues.

When Concubine Shen heard what Concubine Hua said, she couldn't help but secretly praise her. No wonder everyone said that Concubine Hua's favor would never fade. Such a bright and confident woman, who also knew right from wrong, was truly unique. Even Shen Meizhuang herself couldn't help but have a good impression of Concubine Hua.

"No matter what, I still thank Your Majesty." Concubine Shen smiled gently, bowed to Nian Shilan and saluted.

"Okay, I heard that Concubine Wan is ill. Now I and the Queen are helping to manage the harem, so we have to go and express our condolences. Do you want to come with us?" Nian Shilan glanced at Shen Meiyu and An Lingrong, and said indifferently.

"My concubine and sister An have the same idea." Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong and said with a smile.

When Nian Shilan heard this, she realized it was true, so she asked them to accompany her to Sui Yuxuan.

As soon as the three of them reached the corner, the eunuchs of Suiyuxuan saw them.

Kang Luhai hurriedly asked Xiao Yunzi to go into the house to report to his master, and he himself stepped forward and greeted him earnestly.

"Your servant Kang Luhai pays homage to Concubine Hua, Concubine Shen and Lady An."

"Get up. I heard that Concubine Wan was sick, so I came to see her." When Nian Shilan saw Kang Luhai, she thought of this guy who betrayed his master in her previous life, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Replying to Queen Concubine Hua, the young lady is resting in the bedroom." Kang Luhai continued to flatter.

This time, Concubine Hua didn't even look at Kang Luhai and walked into Sui Yuxuan.

Xiao Yunzi was also at the door of the bedroom reporting, "My lady, Concubine Hua is here with Concubine Shen and Concubine An."

When Zhen Huan heard what Xiao Yunzi said, she was a little surprised.

It is understandable that Sister Mei and An Lingrong came to see me, but why did Concubine Hua come with them?

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan thought of the dream she had after entering the palace.

But since they were already here, it would be inappropriate to chase them away, so I invited them in and thought about it a little while ago.

"Please invite Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Shen in." Zhen Huan's weak voice came from the palace.

As soon as Zhen Huan finished speaking, Nian Shilan and her group also walked to the door of the bedroom.

Before Nian Shilan could speak, Xiao Yunzi knelt down.

"Greetings to Concubine Hua, Lady Shen and Lady An. Our young master is a little weak due to illness and was unable to come out to pay respects to the Empress. I hope the Empresses will forgive us."

After Xiao Yunzi finished speaking, Nian Shilan couldn't help but laugh. This servant is really loyal, no wonder he later became the chief eunuch of Suiyuxuan, he is a good one.

Nian Shilan said gently, "It's okay. I just heard that Concubine Wan was ill, so I came to visit her."

Xiao Yunzi felt relieved when she heard what Nian Shilan said.

"My young mistress invites the ladies in." After saying this, Xiao Yunzi pushed open the door and invited Concubine Hua and her group into the bedroom.

As Nian Shilan and the other two entered the palace, they saw Zhen Huan weakly getting up from the bed and trying to salute them, so they hurriedly said,

"You are weak and still ill, so don't worry about these empty formalities. Go back to your bed."

Then he turned around and motioned Songzhi to come forward and hand over the gift he had brought.

"Greetings, Concubine Wan. My queen heard that you were frightened and caught a cold. She specially brought you a hundred-year-old ginseng and some donkey-hide gelatin." Song Zhi walked forward with the things and knelt down respectfully.

"Thank you very much, Empress Hua." Zhen Huan looked at Empress Hua with gratitude on her face.

"It's okay. I heard that you were sick. Now I'm taking care of the chores in the palace with the Queen, so I came to see you." After saying this, Concubine Hua slowly sat down on the stool.

Shen Guiren and An Daying saw that Hua Fei had already taken her seat, so they followed suit and sat down.

"Yes, Sister Wan, I heard that you were sick after I returned to the palace yesterday. I was very worried. I thought of coming to see you with Sister Mei, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest. So I thought of coming today. Are you feeling better?" An Lingrong said worriedly.

Zhen Huan looked at Mei Jiejie and An Lingrong who were concerned about her and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Thinking about what Nian Shilan said just now, she couldn't help but compare them secretly in her heart. The Queen sent Jianqiu to deliver the gift, while Concubine Hua came in person. It was clear at a glance whether she did it with intention or not.

However, Zhen Huan did not forget the Concubine Hua in her dream. She was arrogant and domineering. She did many things to herself and Sister Mei and pressed them step by step, so she did not completely let her mind go.

Nian Shilan also knew that although she wanted to make friends with them, she couldn't rush into it, so she got up and left the bedroom, leaving the space to Zhen Huan and the other two.

When Nian Shilan walked into the courtyard, she remembered that in her previous life, Zhen Huan seemed to have dug out musk under the crabapple tree, so she got up and walked to the crabapple tree to take a closer look.

But she saw ants carrying sugar under the tree, but they were walking around the roots of the tree. Nian Shilan thought that the musk might be there, so she called Xiao Yunzi.

"What instructions does Concubine Hua have?" Little Yunzi stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Look at this ant. Is there a treasure hidden under the tree? Bring a shovel and dig it up." Nian Shilan said calmly.

The sound in the yard attracted the three people who were talking in the house, so they all stood up and came to the yard. An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang supported Zhen Huan.

"Empress Hua, what happened?" Zhen Huan asked first.

Seeing Nian Shilan standing under the crabapple tree in the courtyard, Zhen Huan couldn't help but recall the dream in which musk was dug out from under the crabapple tree.

"Madam Wan, I think this crabapple tree is very beautiful. I couldn't help but look at it for a while, but I found ants walking around the roots under the tree. I think there is something strange." Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan with a calm look and couldn't help but wonder if Zhen Huan had also discovered it?

It is worthy that I was able to gain the emperor's true love in the previous life. It is not unfair for me to lose to her in terms of his thoughts and strategies, Nian Shilan thought as she looked at Zhen Huan.

At this time, Xiao Yunzi also came to the crabapple tree with a shovel...
