The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When Nian Shilan arrived at the Imperial Garden, there were flowers blooming everywhere, competing with each other in beauty, which made people feel very happy just looking at them.

Nian Shilan was strolling along the tree-lined path, smelling the fragrance of flowers, but at the corner she was attracted by a cluster of pink flowers. The flowers had many petals and were very beautiful when in full bloom. She had never noticed this flower in the Imperial Garden before, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Wanpin came up from behind Nian Shilan and said with a chuckle, "Does your majesty also think this flower is extremely beautiful?"

Nian Shilan heard Zhen Huan's voice, turned around and teased, "Isn't Wanpin drunk? How come she still has the leisure to come to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers?"

When Concubine Wan heard what Nian Shilan said, she snorted in pretended anger and pouted, "Your Majesty knows everything, and yet you still tease me."

Nian Shilan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have teased Concubine Wan."

Zhen Huan did not continue the current topic, "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go to my place and try some of the snacks made by Liuzhu?"

Nian Shilan had nothing else to do, so she nodded and said, "I won't agree without the crab roe crisps."

Zhen Huan smiled and quickly asked Huanbi to go back and tell Liuzhu to prepare the crab roe pastry that Concubine Hua loved the most.

Huanbi knew that her mistress was on good terms with Concubine Hua, so she did not hesitate and ran to the Sui Yuxuan, leaving Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan to continue admiring the flowers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huanbi came out of the imperial garden, she ran into Yu Ying'er who was about to return to the palace in a righteous manner.

At the banquet, Yu Ying'er saw the emperor leaving with Han Yun without looking back, and she was very jealous. The emperor had been busy with state affairs recently and seldom entered the harem. Occasionally, when he turned over the cards, it was either Concubine Hua, Concubine Wan or Concubine Hui. She hadn't seen the emperor for several months.

So she pretended that she had accidentally fallen on the way back to the palace and asked her maid to inform the emperor. But the emperor ignored her and told her to go to the imperial physician if she was injured. Yu Ying'er was embarrassed and annoyed and had to return to the palace.

Who would have thought that just when Yu Ying'er was angry, she saw the maid from Sui Yuxuan rushing around and almost bumping into her. Yu Ying'er had a plan in mind. If she couldn't teach Wanpin a lesson, could she not teach a little maid a lesson? Everyone knew that Huanbi was Zhen Huan's maidservant during her marriage, and beating her would be another slap in Zhen Huan's face.

"How dare you! You are so reckless and have offended me. Can you bear the consequences?" Yu Ying'er looked at Huanbi angrily.

Huanbi was not stupid either, she knelt down immediately and said, "Greetings to Yu Da Ying. I did not mean to offend Yu Da Ying, please forgive me."

Yu Ying'er didn't even think about taking the matter lightly. She turned around and looked at her maid Lian'er, "You little bitch, you dare to talk back? Go, slap me in the face."

Lian'er naturally walked forward obediently, without giving Huanbi a chance to speak, she stretched out her hand and slapped Huanbi in the face.

After seeing this, Yu Ying'er was very dissatisfied and scolded: "Didn't you eat? You are so gentle, are you tickling her?"

Lian'er heard the impatience in Yu Ying'er's words, and quickly slapped Huanbi twice, causing blood to seep from the corners of her mouth.

Yu Ying'er was very satisfied with this. "Yes, with that kind of force, I'll slap her thirty times. I wonder if she dares to talk back to me again."

Huanbi knew very well that she was just a slave in the palace and did not dare to act presumptuously for fear of causing trouble for Zhen Huan, so she had to endure the slap from Lian'er.

In the Imperial Garden, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were weaving garlands. Suddenly, Zhen Huan remembered that Huanbi had not returned yet. She was puzzled. "The Imperial Garden is closer to my Sui Yu Xuan. How come Huanbi has been gone for so long and still hasn't returned?"

Nian Shilan heard Zhen Huan's words, without stopping her movements, and ordered Song Zhi, "Go and see what happened to Huanbi?"

After hearing this, Songzhi also lowered her head and walked towards Suiyuxuan. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the imperial garden, she saw Huanbi kneeling in front of Yu Daying. Yu Daying's personal maid slapped Huanbi again and again. Songzhi hurried forward.

"Greetings, Mr. Yu, but what happened?" Song Zhi bowed and asked.

Yu Ying'er was in high spirits. Seeing that the person coming was Songzhi, she said without much concern, "So it's Songzhi. I'm teaching a lowly maid who doesn't know the difference between high and low. Can't you see that?"

Songzhi looked at Huanbi and saw that both sides of Huanbi's cheeks were swollen like two big steamed buns, and the blood stains on her lips were almost dried.

Songzhi quickly said to Yu: "My queen asked Huanbi to do something. If the queen is no longer angry, let Huanbi finish the things my queen asked her to do first."

Songzhi has been with Nian Shilan for a long time, and she has become a little arrogant because of what she has learned from her actions. Especially when she sees Huanbi looking so pitiful, she speaks to her in a cold and harsh manner, not so polite.

Yu Ying'er was furious when she heard this. "Are you using Concubine Hua to pressure me? Everyone in the harem knows that Concubine Hua and Concubine Wan have always been at odds. Are you taking advantage of my ignorance?"

After that, he ordered Lian'er, "Go and give Songzhi two slaps in the face, and see if she dares to offend her superiors again in the future."

Lian'er looked at Yu Ying and said hesitantly, Yu Ying'er was very angry and yelled, "Go quickly!"

Lian'er was frightened by Yu Ying'er's anger and hurried to Songzhi.

Seeing this, Song Zhi shouted, "I am a person close to Concubine Hua, who dares to teach me a lesson?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying'er walked up to Song Zhi and slapped her twice. "I am the emperor's woman, and you are just a little slave. Why can't I teach you a lesson?"

He then ordered Lian'er, "Watch them for me. They are not allowed to stand up until they have knelt for two full hours."

After hearing this, Lian'er walked behind Songzhi and kicked Songzhi in the knee. Songzhi was caught off guard and fell to his knees.

Seeing this, Yu Ying'er returned to her palace very satisfied, leaving Lian'er to look after Songzhi and Huanbi.

Nian Shilan waited for a long time, and seeing that Songzhi had not come back either, she couldn't help but worry whether something had happened to the two of them, so she stood up. Zhen Huan could no longer sit still, so she stood up with Nian Shilan and walked towards Sui Yuxuan.

As Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan just came out of the imperial garden, they saw a palace maid standing there. Huanbi and Songzhi were kneeling in front of her. Both of them had injuries on their faces to varying degrees. Nian Shilan became furious and strode towards the three of them.

Nian Shilan walked between the three people and slapped the palace maid without saying a word. The strength of women from military families should not be underestimated. The slap directly knocked the palace maid to the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you make my personal maid kneel down?" Nian Shilan roared angrily.

Lian'er was already frightened out of her wits by Nian Shilan, and she trembled as she said, "Madam Hua Guifei, I am Lian'er, a maidservant of Yu Ying. I am only following orders, Madam, please don't blame me."

When Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan heard that it was the palace maid beside Yu Ying'er, they were both very angry.

"Songzhi, Huanbi, the two of you get up." Nian Shilan's voice was frighteningly calm. Songzhi had been with Nian Shilan for so many years, so she naturally knew that Nian Shilan was furious this time.
