The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 14 The Time Has Come

Su Peisheng came over before dinner and asked the kitchen to bring a large food box, saying that the master would have dinner in Jinglan Courtyard.

Nian Shilan just stretched her head to take a look, then asked Su Peisheng with a smile: "What dishes are served today?"

Su Peisheng hurriedly leaned forward and listed a list of dishes.

The main courses are roasted lamb leg and stewed beef.

It is served with four side dishes: stir-fried mushrooms and bamboo shoots, cold-mixed walnut and celery, vinegar-cooked daylily and cabbage, and a dish of cucumber and black fungus.

The soup is West Lake beef soup, and the snack is crab roe crisps.

Everything else is fine, except that the crab roe pastry is not in season.

It is only spring now, and Su Peisheng said that the crabs were specially obtained by the prince. It is not easy to make these crab meat crisps.

Because I was worried that the concubine had not been feeling well recently, and if I didn't have some good food, I was afraid that she would have no appetite.

Su Peisheng had just finished serving the meal when the eunuch outside announced that the prince had arrived.

Nian Shilan hurried out to greet him. She bowed and then smiled as she put her arm around Yinzhen's arm and walked in together.

"You are so disrespectful. Why don't you pay your respects to me seriously?"

Although Yinzhen spoke words of blame, there was not a trace of anger in his tone.

"Do I have to pretend to be virtuous in front of my master? If so, then you can find some obedient sisters."

Nian Shilan pouted.

"You are the only one who talks too much. Isn't it enough for me to accompany you every day? Look at other people's backyards, everyone has a lot of concubines and maids."

Yinzhen frowned.

"Humph, Master, when you say that, it means you are still thinking about other people when you are with me. Don't worry, if there are some new sisters coming into this mansion, I will promise to disappear so that I won't be annoying."

"Okay, I'm just teasing you. Even if someone breaks into this mansion someday, you'll still be the overlord of that place. Except for Fu Jin, no one can surpass you."

As Yinzhen was speaking, he saw Songzhi bringing a basin of water over, so he washed his hands and sat down to eat.

Nian Shilan also sat down with a pout, but sighed in her heart. Fortunately, she was only 17 years old in this life. In her previous life, she would have felt disgusted by doing this action.

After the two of them finished dinner, Nian Shilan saw that Yinzhen had no intention of leaving.

She said, "Master, are you going to stay here with me tonight?"

Yinzhen took a sip of tea and asked back.

"Why, you don't want me to stay?"

"How can that be possible? Who in this house doesn't look forward to seeing the master? But the master has been with me for too long, isn't it a sign of me being too popular? And my health is not well yet, why don't you go and see Fu Jin?"

Yinzhen frowned slightly.

"Breakfast is for Fu Jin and I. Let's go another day."

Nian Shilan thought to herself that the time had come.

So she started talking again: "That day, I was angry and got angry with Mrs. Hu. Master, didn't you go and see?"

Yinzhen thought about it and felt that the matter had not been resolved yet, so it was time to go and check it out.

Although Hu was just a maidservant who came with Ulanara's dowry, she was from one of the three banners under the Manchu army.

The Ulanara family was a prominent family, and the Hu family was a branch of the family, and some of their family members served in the military.

Speaking of serving in the army, Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and thought it was time.

When the Dzungars invaded, the emperor appointed Fei Yanggu as general and Tu Hai as deputy general to go to the battlefield.

Nian Gengyao is also in the army fighting against Galdan. When he comes back, it will be time to give him a try.

If Nian Gengyao could work for him wholeheartedly, he would be even more powerful.

If you can't work for him wholeheartedly, then find a way to gain his loyalty.
