The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Early in the morning of this day, after the emperor came down from court, he went to the Yikun Palace in high spirits. Nian Shilan saw this and asked in surprise, "Did the emperor encounter any good news? Why are you laughing so happily?"

The emperor said to Nian Shilan in a mysterious way: "My beloved concubine, guess whether I and I agree or not."

Seeing that the emperor was in high spirits, Nian Shilan had no choice but to join him and asked, "But is there another victory report from the previous dynasty?"

The emperor shook his head, and Nian Shilan asked again: "Who among the sisters in the harem is pregnant and can give birth to children for the royal family?"

The emperor continued to shake his head, "No, it has something to do with you."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with a puzzled look on her face, "Is it related to me? I really can't guess, I hope your Majesty can tell me."

The emperor looked calm and composed, and no matter how much Nian Shilan begged, he refused to give in.

Finally, Nian Shilan had no choice but to use her trump card and seduce the emperor. Nian Shilan sat in the emperor's arms, climbed her arms around his neck, and rubbed her red lips against the emperor's Adam's apple. The hot breath between her lips and teeth stimulated the emperor's body.

The emperor surrendered repeatedly, "I say! My beloved concubine, please get off me."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan did not insist any more. She got off the emperor swiftly, stood aside, and looked at the emperor obediently.

When the emperor saw Nian Shilan stand up very quickly, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that Nian Shilan seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell what was different.

The emperor seemed to deliberately prove that Nian Shilan still loved him deeply. He reached out his hand and pulled Nian Shilan back into his arms. Nian Shilan sensitively noticed that the emperor was in a bad mood at the moment, and she did not struggle. She just lay obediently on the emperor's chest. The emperor smelled the rose oil on Nian Shilan's head, and his heart felt a little relieved.

The emperor played with Nian Shilan's delicate jade fingers, looking at the peony-colored nail polish on them, and said casually: "You have lived in Yikun Palace for some years, together with Concubine Cao. I plan to renovate a palace that is more magnificent than Yikun Palace, and give it to you alone to live in."

Nian Shilan listened to the emperor's words and said indifferently: "I am used to living here. I will not be able to adapt to moving to another palace all of a sudden."

The emperor just said, "This is an imperial edict," and did not continue the topic.

Nian Shilan thought that the emperor was just in a whim and didn't take it to heart.

Who would have known that in the next six months, the former dynasty would be in chaos over the newly renovated "Changle Palace".

The ministers of the previous dynasty were divided into two factions. One faction, headed by Longkodo, Emin and others, believed that Nian Shilan was a witch concubine. In order to pursue pleasure for themselves, they wasted the people's money and time. They repeatedly advised the emperor to execute Nian Shilan, and even threatened to do so with their own lives.

The other faction, led by Zhen Yuandao and Shen Zishan, believed that as the Imperial Noble Consort, Nian Shilan had never interfered in state affairs, and her family members were not important officials of the court. Favoring concubines was the emperor's family affair and did not need to be brought to the court.

The emperor looked at the chaos in the audience and didn't want to blame them, so he just said he would discuss it another day and left.

Seeing that the emperor had already left, the ministers thought there was no point in continuing the commotion, so they left the Qianqing Palace in groups of two or three.

Just as Zhen Yuandao and Shen Zishan reached the palace gate and were about to return to their respective residences, they were stopped by the voice of someone behind them.

Zhen Yuandao and Shen Zishan turned around and saw that the person coming was E Min. Shen Zishan did not say anything, but Zhen Yuandao smiled and said tactfully, "I heard that Lord E has been feeling unwell recently. I saw you attending court today. Are you feeling better now?"

Guarjia Emin glanced at the officials who were leaving the palace and said, "I'm feeling better now. I heard that a good restaurant has just opened in the capital. I wonder if Brother Zhen and Brother Shen would give me a favor and go sit with us?"

Shen Zishan and Zhen Yuandao looked at each other and declined, "I won't go. Before I went to court today, my wife specifically told me to go back early after court, saying that there were some important matters in the mansion and she wanted me to make a decision."

Guarjia Emin heard Shen Zishan's words and nodded with some regret, then looked at Zhen Yuandao and said, "What about Brother Zhen? It's not a coincidence that he is not free, right?"

Zhen Yuandao knew that it was not appropriate for him to refuse anymore, so he laughed and said, "Master E, what are you talking about? I have nothing to do today, why don't we go and sit together?"

When Guaerjia Emin saw Zhen Yuandao coming with her, she said goodbye to Shen Zishan with a smile, and then went to the newly opened "Fuxiangju" restaurant in Beijing with Zhen Yuandao.

After the two entered the restaurant, they found a private room and sat down. Guarjia Emin had been here many times, so he skillfully ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes and handed the menu to Zhen Yuandao, "Brother Zhen, is there anything you want to eat? The food here is very elegant and tastes delicious."

Zhen Yuandao smiled and pushed the menu back, saying, "I believe in Lord E's taste, and everything you order must be very good."

Seeing this, Guaerjia Emin handed the menu to the waiter and asked for a pot of wine.

After the waiter left the private room, Guarjia Emin was the first to greet him, "Brother Zhen, are you feeling well these days?"

Zhen Yuandao smiled and nodded, "Everything has been going well recently. I heard that Lord E was not feeling well a few days ago. The weather is getting colder. Did he catch a cold?"

Guarjia Emin smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I caught a cold, it's just that my most beloved daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and as a father, I can't help but worry a little, so I feel a little unwell."

Zhen Yuandao nodded in understanding, "Yes, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run."

Guarjia Emin sighed and said, "The main reason is that this girl has been spoiled by me and her mother since she was a child. She has a simple mind and doesn't understand those twists and turns. That's why I am particularly worried."

Zhen Yuandao comforted him, "It's okay, Lord E, don't worry. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are taking care of her in the palace, and they will not mistreat your daughter."

Guaerjia Emin heard what Zhen Yuandao said and whispered, "You may not know, but I heard recently that the emperor intends to make the imperial concubine the empress. This is what worries me. Nian Gengyao has always been domineering. I am afraid that his sister will not be easy to get along with, and I am worried that my daughter will not be able to cope with it."

At this moment, the waiter came in with delicious dishes, interrupting the conversation between Guwaljia Emin and Zhen Yuandao. Zhen Yuandao felt slightly relieved.

Zhen Yuandao had heard from his daughter and Shen Zishan that Guaerjia Emin had given him trouble many times, and that his daughter had always been against his daughter and Mei Zhuang after entering the palace. The reason why Zhen Yuandao accepted the invitation was that he wanted to see what Guaerjia Emin was planning.
