The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Nian Shilan was not surprised to hear what the emperor said, so she returned to Yikun Palace with the emperor.

After entering the main hall, Nian Shilan first asked Songzhi and Lingzhi to go to Suiyuxuan and Xianfu Palace to tell Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang to keep their mouths shut about today, and then asked them to go to Yanxi Palace to tell An to agree to go to Yikun Palace to sing. Nian Shilan deliberately explained in front of the emperor to avoid any trouble in the future and the emperor's anger on her.

After giving all the instructions, Nian Shilan personally brewed the best Longjing tea for the emperor, and went to the small kitchen to get some of her favorite snacks. As for the fact that the emperor's favorite snacks were not available, Nian Shilan said it didn't matter, as the emperor could choose not to eat them anyway.

After Nian Shilan had prepared everything, she and the emperor sat on the chaise longue in the palace waiting for An Lingrong to arrive.

Everyone in the harem only heard that Concubine Hua had ordered An Lingrong to sing in Yikun Palace, but they didn't know that the Emperor was there too. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but whisper. They were afraid that An Lingrong had somehow offended Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua was afraid that An Lingrong would be severely punished again.

Everyone had a look of gloating on their faces.

In the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong had just returned to her bedroom when she heard Songzhi come to report to her that the Emperor was waiting to hear her sing in Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace?

I have never seen the emperor, how did the emperor know that I can sing? It must be Concubine Hua.

Just now, when I was chatting with Concubine Hua, Sister Wan, and Sister Shen in Suiyuxuan, I said that I was afraid that Sister Wan would be bored, and I could go to Suiyuxuan more often to sing for her in the future. Not long after that, Concubine Hua talked about it with the emperor.

If Concubine Hua sincerely helps me and if I am favored, then I, your aunt, will no longer be bullied in the mansion.

After making up his mind, An promised to let Songzhi thank Concubine Hua on his behalf, and whispered, "I'll pack up and go right away."

Although Songzhi didn't know why Nian Shilan did this, she understood that the queen wanted to help An Da Ying. She smiled and said a few words respectfully, then returned to the palace.

Not long after Songzhi returned to the palace, An Lingrong also arrived.

Today, An Lingrong wore a light green brocade dress without any extra decoration. She only wore a silk tassel on one side, which made her look very beautiful.

As soon as she entered the main hall, An Lingrong knelt down and saluted the Emperor and Concubine Hua.

"Promise An to meet the Emperor and Concubine Hua."

The emperor looked at Concubine Hua and saw that she did not look unhappy, so he asked her to get up.

Nian Shilan looked at An Lingrong and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She was indeed a shrewd and cautious person, but it was a pity that her family background was not good enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been in the palace for so long in her previous life and still not been favored.

I might as well give her a helping hand in this life.

Thinking of this, Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Today, I heard in Suiyuxuan that you can sing. The emperor and I happened to be free, so I thought of asking you to come over and sing a few lines. I hope I didn't disturb my sister."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, An Lingrong knew that what she had thought was almost right, and she quickly knelt down and said, "It is my honor that Your Majesty and Concubine Hua are willing to listen to my singing."

Nian Shilan smiled and asked, "I wonder which songs An promised to sing?"

An Lingrong replied respectfully: "To answer your Majesty, I can sing the "Jiangnan" from the Han Dynasty Yuefu."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan asked An Lingrong to get ready.

You can pick lotus in Jiangnan.

The lotus leaves are so lush.

Fish play among the lotus leaves.

Fish play on lotus leaves in the east,

Fish play on lotus leaves to the west,

Fish play on lotus leaves to the south,

Fishes play on lotus leaves in the north.

After the song was finished, the emperor clapped his hands and cheered!

"Great! I didn't expect there is such a wonderful person in the harem. Her voice is beautiful and the music is melodious. It's really great!"

Seeing the emperor's excited expression, Nian Shilan knew that the emperor must be moved, so she asked with a smile: "Does An Daiyan know other songs?"

An Lingrong thought that Concubine Hua might want to hear more, so she said obediently, "I don't know much, but I know "Bodhisattva Man" and "Golden Threaded Clothes."

Nian Shilan waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I'll listen to the rest of the songs next time. Sit down and drink some tea to rest your throat."

What a joke! If the Emperor has heard the song in the Yikun Palace, and I don't go to An Ying's place at night, all my plans will be in vain. I must use the song to make the Emperor never forget it.

An Lingrong took a sip of tea and looked at the Emperor and Nian Shilan, who had no more instructions. After thinking for a while, she said, "If the Emperor and Concubine Hua have nothing to do, then I will return to the palace first." After all, the Emperor is in Concubine Hua's palace now, and it is not appropriate for her to stay there for long. She was also afraid that Concubine Hua would develop a grudge against her.

The emperor also thought of this. He had to give Shilan some face in Yikun Palace. So he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave."

Then he urged Su Peisheng to order, "Send An Yingchu back."

Seeing this, Su Peisheng had everything in his mind. He knew that the emperor would probably summon An Da Ying in the evening, so he bowed and sent An Da Ying back to the Yanxi Palace.

When Nian Shilan saw this, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

The reason why he wanted to introduce An Lingrong to the emperor first was to better control this person. An Lingrong was thoughtful, but she was inevitably inferior because of her background.

If she loses favor for a long time, the old witch, the Queen, likes to buy people's hearts the most. I am afraid that she will be deceived by the Queen and do something unfavorable to me. After all, it is best not to become an enemy of An Lingrong, who is so meticulous. Otherwise, I am really afraid that I will be caught off guard and suffer a big loss.

After the emperor left An Lingrong, his mind was entirely on her. He sat in the Yikun Palace for a while, then left, using the excuse that he had government affairs to attend to in the Yangxin Palace.

Nian Shilan smiled when she saw this, but did not expose him. She stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off.

It’s better that the emperor is gone, so I don’t have to spend time and effort to deal with him, which is too tiring.
