The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 126: Shu Pretends to be Drunk
Shu looked up, her face flushed from drinking. She looked at Ulanara blankly, then turned to Yinzhen and stood up shakily.

"Master, please forgive me. Concubine Hua is very happy. I am happy today and drank two extra glasses of wine. But I will never let Master and Concubine worry. Look, I am fine, aren't I?"

As Shu Gege said this, she was about to spin around in circles, scaring her maid Zijing who hurriedly supported her.

"Gege, be careful!"

Yinzhen was quite surprised to see Shu's drunken state. Shu usually looked aloof and cold, but when she was serving the emperor in bed, her transparent gauze bed clothes had a different style. When she was drunk, she looked as pitiful and cute as a child.

Yinzhen waved his hand.

"Shu, come here. Let me see if you are drunk."

Shu Gege's eyes were hazy. She was barely standing with the help of Zijing. Hearing Yinzhen calling her, she turned her head dazedly in the direction of Yinzhen. Seeing Yinzhen waving at her, her face lit up with joy. She staggered around the table in front of her and was about to walk towards Yinzhen.

Nian Shilan looked at Shu with a sneer. If she hadn't seen many monsters and ghosts in the palace in her previous life, she would have been fooled by her with such an inconspicuous performance.

Nian Shilan didn't say anything, just sat in her seat and looked at Shu Gege amusemently.

Shu Gege was staggering, and Zijing was anxiously trying to stop her, fearing that she would bump into something.

Ulanara also watched Shu Gege walk towards Yinzhen with a smile on her face, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

Shu Gege walked up to Yinzhen, tilted her head, and bowed with a smile.

"Master, look, I am fine, am I not?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her body uncontrollably falling towards Yinzhen. Su Peisheng just stretched out his hand to catch Shu Gege, but suddenly withdrew his hand quickly. Yinzhen had already caught Shu Gege steadily in his arms.

Holding the soft body in his arms, with a slight smell of alcohol in the air, Shu Gege looked up at Yinzhen and smiled foolishly.

"My master is so amazing! I didn't fall down."

Yinzhen helped her sit up and said with a smile.

"You are amazing. You drank so much wine secretly that you got yourself drunk."

Ulanara spoke with a smile, as if she was talking about a spoiled child.

"I will just say that Sister Shu is drunk. Master, do you want someone to send Sister Shu back?"

Yinzhen looked at Qi Yuebin.

"Qi, Shu lives in your courtyard. Please take care of her. Although the banquet is almost over, today is Shilan's birthday, so I will accompany her tonight."

Qi Yuebin stood up and lowered his head.

"Yes. Master, just rest assured. I will take good care of Shu Gege."

So Qi Yuebin asked Jixiang and Zijing to help Shu Gege back to Yaoyue Garden. She wanted to stay and wait for the banquet to end.

Nian Shilan picked up the wine glass, turned it around in her hands twice, and smiled.

"Master, you forgot that although today is my birthday, it is also the first day of the new year. Master was supposed to go to Xingfu Courtyard tonight, and I don't want to break the rules. I would like to borrow this glass of wine to wish Master and his wife a happy and harmonious life, and a son soon."

Ulanara also brought the wine and said to Nian Shilan.

"Thank you, sister. But since the master has said that he will go to your place today, I will just serve him well."

Yinzhen said nothing, just watched Ulanara and Nian Shilan being humble.

Oh, he was obviously the master of this palace. When these two women were pushing him around, did anyone ask him where he wanted to go?

Looking at it this way, Yinzhen missed Shu Gege's gentleness and obedience a little.

Nian Shilan saw that she and the humble protagonist Ulanara were absent-minded, and suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, Fu Jin, I think we two don't need to be so humble. Why don't we let the master decide for himself and see where he wants to go?"

Ulanara nodded. "That's right, sister."

Yinzhen said lightly.

"Since neither the wife nor the concubine wants me, I will go and see Shu later."

The jealousy in Hu Gege's eyes was about to burst out, but the object of her jealousy, Shu Gege, had already been sent back to Yaoyue Garden.

Feng couldn't understand why Concubine Hua was not as jealous and envious as the rumors said. The master had suggested going to Cheng'en Garden tonight, but she refused.

But she thought, it had nothing to do with her anyway, so she just needed to focus on her pregnancy.

Qi Yuebin lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Princess Shu was helped back to Yaoyue Garden and lay on her own bed. Zijing just said that her princess was drunk and needed to rest, so Jixiang left.

Qi Yuebin was still at the banquet, and Jixiang hurried back to serve him.

After hearing Jixiang leave, Shu Gege slowly sat up, called Zijing, and asked her to help him wash up. There was no trace of drunkenness on his face.

Zijing helped Shu Gege wash her face and hands, and asked in confusion.

"Princess, you can drink a lot, why do you want to act drunk in front of the prince?"

Shu Gege soaked his hands in water with osmanthus and said lightly.

"Men only think about what they can't get and what they have already lost. If the master comes later, just say that I am drunk and fell asleep, and I will serve him when I sober up."

Bauhinia suddenly realized.

"Is this what the princess once said about playing hard to get? But how can the princess be sure that the prince will come? What if he doesn't come?"

Shu Gege looked at his soft white hands in the water and said nonchalantly.

"The master has seen my indifferent side and my passionate side, but he has never seen the side of me today. I don't believe he won't be moved. Although the concubine of the mansion is the most favored, I may not be unable to occupy a certain position in the master's heart. The subtle and silent influence is the most worrying."

Zijing didn't understand all this, she just remembered it silently and decided to drive the prince away if he came tonight.

When Nian Shilan was about to go to bed, she heard that Yinzhen went to Yaoyue Garden, but Shu Gege was too drunk and passed out early, so Yinzhen stayed at Qi Yuebin's place.

Nian Shilan chuckled.

"Our master seems to be affectionate to everyone, but in fact he is the most ruthless."

An San sat on the beam with his legs crossed, eating chicken wings, quietly waiting for the midnight to pass so that he could teach Xiao Linzi kung fu. Hearing Nian Shilan's words, he suddenly remembered some things he had heard when he was ordered to carry out a mission a few days ago.

It is rumored that Prince Yong is the most infatuated and has a deep love for the daughter of his late wife, Fei Yanggu, the current first-rank general of Fubei.

Unfortunately, the first wife was unlucky and died during childbirth. It is said that Prince Yong remained celibate for her for three years and did not touch any other woman in the mansion.

It was because the Emperor and Concubine De urged Prince Yong to put his offspring first that he reluctantly went to his wife's room a few times.

However, ever since Fu Jin injured her body after giving birth to the eldest prince, she has not been pregnant since.

Later, during the Autumn Examination, Prince Yong's Mansion saw Concubine Hua and personally proposed to the Emperor in marriage. This is how Concubine Hua became the exclusive concubine of the Emperor.

It seems that Prince Yong doesn't have much affection for his first wife, right?
At least on the surface, he can still please so many women in the mansion.

An San chewed and chewed, but there was no sound.

He thought, the emotions of these big shots are so complicated, chicken wings are still delicious.

　There are too many things going on today, and the author is blushing. Starting tomorrow, I will update two chapters a day. The chapters in the past two days are so dull. Later, when there are more people in the palace, the women will fight to the death.
