The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 281: The Favorite of the Pepper Room

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit and filled with joy. The emperor and Nian Shilan, surrounded by servants, returned to Changle Palace.

At this time, Changle Palace was decorated very exquisitely, and Nian Shilan had changed back into her phoenix robe early, because today was her coronation ceremony, and according to the rules, she had to spend her wedding night with the emperor in the evening.

The emperor took Nian Shilan's hand and walked into the beautifully decorated bridal chamber.

In the bridal chamber, red candles were shining brightly. As soon as Nian Shilan entered the room, she smelled a special fragrance. She said with some joy, "My palace smells so good today."

The emperor just smiled but said nothing. Songzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the emperor sent servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to decorate Changle Palace early this morning."

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor in surprise, "Your Majesty, is what Songzhi said true? Did you prepare all this for me long ago?"

The emperor was naturally in a very happy mood, "You deserve the favor of the imperial concubine."

The emperor asked the servants of the Imperial Household Department to paste the powder made from the flowers of the prickly ash tree on the wall early in the morning, because the flowers of the prickly ash tree not only have a fragrant smell, but also have warm properties, which can keep the room warm and dry. In addition, the flowers of the prickly ash tree also have certain medicinal value and can treat some diseases.

In addition to the flowers of the prickly ash tree, the emperor also ordered people to paste his own ambergris mixed with the flower powder of the prickly ash tree on the walls to increase the fragrance and warmth of the room. The emperor always felt that if he was not there, Nian Shilan would feel warm in her heart when she smelled his ambergris.

(Nian Shilan: Haha, the dog emperor is really narcissistic. I am really screwed.)

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor talking about the Pepper Room Favor, she suddenly felt a little amused. From what she knew, Chun Yuan, Zhen Huan and herself had used the Pepper Room Favor. The emperor was really amorous.

Even though Nian Shilan was disdainful in her heart, she still looked very touched and flattered, "Thank you, Your Majesty. You treat me so well."

As Nian Shilan spoke, she leaned her body into the emperor's arms. The emperor touched Nian Shilan's phoenix crown and the red hairpins on her head, and for a moment he was filled with emotion.

The night wind blew into the bedroom with a hint of coolness, making the curtains in front of the bed flutter. The flickering candlelight illuminated Nian Shilan's beautiful face. She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, and was beautiful. The emperor was wearing a dragon robe, handsome and unrestrained, showing the demeanor of a king.

The two sat opposite each other, their eyes meeting, full of love and expectation. The emperor gently held Nian Shilan's hand and said softly: "From now on, you are my queen, and I will always be by your side."

Nian Shilan lowered her head shyly and responded softly: "I am willing to be with the emperor for the rest of my life and never leave him."

Afterwards, Su Peisheng and Songzhi presented fine wine and delicious food to the emperor and Nian Shilan. The emperor and Nian Shilan raised their glasses together and drank them all.

After the palace's wedding procedures were completed, Su Peisheng and Song Zhi tactfully withdrew, leaving only the emperor and Nian Shilan in the palace.

The emperor gently untied Nian Shilan's phoenix robe, revealing her fair skin. Nian Shilan's face flushed, making her even more charming. The emperor embraced Nian Shilan in his arms and kissed her forehead, cheeks and lips. Nian Shilan also responded to the emperor's love enthusiastically, and their bodies hugged each other tightly, as if they were integrated into one.

At this moment, the emperor's hand kept moving up, and when it passed Nian Shilan's abdomen, his body suddenly shook, and then he became hoarse, breathing heavily, and whispered in Nian Shilan's ear: "Shilan, is this okay?"

Nian Shilan drank more than usual tonight, and her sexual desire was aroused. When she suddenly heard the emperor's question, she mumbled "hmm".

When the emperor heard Nian Shilan's answer, his heart was filled with emotion, and he spent a night of joy in the bedroom of Changle Palace.

Early the next morning, the emperor went to court and announced that he would appoint Nian Fu as the General of Cavalry. Everyone in the court had already seen Nian Fu's strength, and no one objected.

The days that followed became much more dull. After the emperor left court every day, he would always come to see Nian Shilan.

Time flies, and Nian Shilan is now more than six months pregnant. The emperor pays great attention to Nian Shilan's belly and often comes to talk to her to relieve her boredom.

That day, the emperor came to Changle Palace to have dinner with Nian Shilan as usual. "Recently, I heard that your nephew won another victory on the front line."

Nian Shilan smiled and replied, "That's because the emperor is a good leader. My useless nephew is just following his orders."

"No matter what, Nian Fu is a meritorious official. When the child is born, I will definitely reward him well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After dinner, the emperor accompanied Nian Shilan for a walk in the palace to help digest the food.

"Shilan, you are now in your advanced stage of pregnancy and it is becoming increasingly difficult for you to move. It is better for you to move to my Yangxin Palace. The palace there is spacious and the environment is quieter, which is suitable for waiting for delivery."

Nian Shilan laughed when she heard that. "Your Majesty, your Majesty is the one who managed my Changle Palace. The environment of this Changle Palace is already excellent. If I don't even like it here and move to your Yangxin Palace to live, I'm afraid that the ministers in the court will die tomorrow morning to advise me against it."

The emperor didn't care much and said, "You are my queen, my wife. Why can't you live with me in the Yangxin Palace?"

Nian Shilan knew very well that if she really went to live in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, all her previous careful plans would be ruined. Nian Shilan could not withstand such turmoil.

The emperor also saw that Nian Shilan did not want to live in the Yangxin Palace. Although he sighed in his heart, he still decided to respect her wishes.

In recent days, as Nian Shilan's period was getting worse, she was too lazy to take care of the affairs of the harem and left them all to Qi Yuebin and Zhen Huan.

After taking care of Qi Yuebin and Zhen Huan, the emperor did not treat them unfairly. Qi Yuebin was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, and Zhen Huan was promoted to Noble Consort.

Qi Yuebin was naturally very happy about this. She never expected that one day, without the emperor's favor, her position as a concubine could be moved up a level.

Qi Yuebin came to Changle Palace that day to express her gratitude to Nian Shilan, and Nian Shilan asked Qi Yuebin to chat with her.

"I never thought that one day, you and I would be able to chat together as calmly as we do now." Qi Yuebin took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully.

Nian Shilan smiled, then looked at Qi Yuebin with some sadness, "After so many years, I have children now, don't you really hate me?"

Qi Yuebin shook his head in relief, "It would be a lie to say I'm not sad, but I don't really hate you."
