The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 143 Asking for Grace
The night before Yinzhen left home, he came to Cheng'en Garden.

After dinner, Nian Shilan was practicing calligraphy by candlelight under the window.

She didn't like reading and writing in the past, but now she forces herself to practice beautiful hairpin-shaped small calligraphy.

The eunuch outside announced that the master was coming.

What was written on the paper under Nian Shilan's pen was:

"The enemy is clear, but friends are not yet determined. Lead friends to kill the enemy without exerting any effort yourself. Use "loss" to deduce.

The enemy has already revealed itself, and another force has emerged and is about to do something, so we should use this force to destroy the enemy. "

Upon hearing the announcement, Nian Shilan put down the pen in his hand, picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into the hands of Xiao Linzi, who was serving pen and ink.

Xiao Linzi quickly crumpled the paper ball and hid it in his sleeve.

Nian Shilan took two steps forward with a pretty smile on her face.

"My concubine greets my master. Why did you come at this time? Can I have dinner?"

Yinzhen liked Nian Shilan's cuteness the most. Her eyes were so charming that he never got tired of looking at them.

He also had a faint smile on his face.

"Get up. I just came to see what you are doing."

Nian Shilan stood up and said with a smile.

"What else can I do? I am just idle and want to kill time."

Yinzhen took Nian Shilan's hand and sat down.

"Then tell me how you spend your time, so I can relieve my boredom."

Nian Shilan smiled sweetly and reached out to touch Yinzhen's chest.

"Master, you really make it difficult for me. I have to help Fu Jin with household chores during the day, and can't I have some time for myself at night? Master, you insist on asking me, and I have to explain it to you in detail."

Yinzhen laughed.

"You said you were just killing time, so I followed your lead and asked. I didn't expect you to get angry. You are so heartless. It's true that only girls and villains are hard to raise."

Nian Shilan pouted and tried to pull her hand away from Yinzhen. Yinzhen noticed her action and instead held her hand tightly and pulled Nian Shilan into his arms.

Year of the Landau.

"Since my master thinks it's hard to support me, then just don't support me. Although my family is not as prominent and wealthy as the royal palace, it is still no problem to support me. Why don't you let me go home tomorrow to save the monthly salary for supporting me?"

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan's sharp tongue and felt so angry that his teeth were itching. Why did he let himself be fooled by that glance at the hunting ground during the Autumn Examination that day? He only discovered that she was so eloquent after marrying her.

Yinzhen tightened his arms, held Nian Shilan tightly in his arms, and whispered.

"How dare you abandon me? It seems that I am not in your heart. Is it me who makes you unhappy?"

Nian Shilan smelled the scent of lust. She thought that she had already rejected Yinzhen two or three times in recent days, and she was afraid that she could not refuse today. So she tried to resist but was pushed down on the couch by Yinzhen half-heartedly.

The servants serving in the room were very smart and had retreated as soon as Yinzhen took Nian Shilan in his arms.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Nian Shilan leaned in Yinzhen's arms. Yinzhen habitually took a strand of Nian Shilan's black hair and played with it between his fingers.

Nian Shilan took off her hairpins and rings, and her black hair spread on the soft pillow like clouds. Yinzhen liked her very much.

"My master will be going on a long journey tomorrow. He will be away from home for at least one or two months, or at most three or five months. I'll trouble you and Fu Jin to take care of all the affairs in the mansion."

Nian Shilan raised her head in Yinzhen's arms, the blush on her delicate little face had not yet faded, and her big eyes blinked as she asked Yinzhen.

"Master, where are you going? There has been no news about you these days. It's so sudden."

Yinzhen loved her so much at this time that he couldn't help but lean over to Nian Shilan's forehead and gently kiss her.

"My master has an errand to attend to, but I cannot tell you about it for now. My master has already told my wife that during my absence, she should just say that my old illness has relapsed and I am recuperating in my house. No one should come to see me. The palace will also be closed to visitors. Please work harder and take good care of Feng's baby. My wife will also have to split her attention to take care of the third prince."

Nian Shilan knew the "job" that Yinzhen was going to do, but she still pretended to be confused and worried. "Master, you must take good care of yourself when you are away. I am not around. If that seductive woman comes up to you, you..."

Nian Shilan sighed, filled with jealousy.

"Just bring her back. These days, the backyard is quiet without two sisters. The master must be uncomfortable without people to serve him!"

Yinzhen pinched Nian Shilan's face and rubbed it gently.

"You are just talking nonsense. I am out on business, not looking for women. There are fewer people in the backyard, so you don't have to be jealous all day long, right?"

Although Yinzhen said that he disliked Nian Shilan's jealous nature, he actually enjoyed the occasional jealousy she showed.

Nian Shilan thought for a moment and spoke again.

"I would like to ask for your grace before I leave."

Yinzhen asked.

"Why do you need to ask for grace?"

Nian Shilan sat up and looked directly at Yinzhen.

"I witnessed Sister Duan die of complications during childbirth of the Third Prince a few days ago. I have been extremely scared these days, and I always have uneasy dreams. Now my master is going on a long journey, and I have Feng, a princess who is almost six months pregnant, in my Cheng'en Garden. I really have no idea what to do. What do you think we should do if she gets bumped or knocked down?"

Yinzhen looked back into Nian Shilan's eyes, and seeing that she looked worried, he also straightened his expression.

"What Shilan said is true. Then I will guess that the grace you are asking for is for me to send someone to protect Feng?"

Nian Shilan said seriously.

"There's no need to make such a big fuss. After all, Feng is just a princess. Although she is pregnant with the master's own flesh and blood, if the master specially sends someone to protect her, it may cause discussion among other sisters in the backyard, saying that Feng is spoiled and arrogant, which is not good. I would like to ask the master, before leaving, can you personally send an order to avoid Feng's going to Xingfu Courtyard to pay respects during your absence. In this way, Feng will not be out and about, wouldn't it be a lot less trouble, the master doesn't have to worry about the mansion when he is away, and I will feel more at ease in this courtyard."

These days, Yinzhen's mind kept replaying the time when Yunxi had a difficult birth, with the occasional faint scream of Duan Shi mixed in. It was indeed extremely dangerous for a woman to give birth.

Nian Shilan was only eighteen years old and had never given birth, yet she witnessed such a scene with her own eyes. I think it must have been a huge shock to her, and it is natural for her to be afraid.

"Okay, I agree to your request. Tomorrow morning, I will have Su Peisheng pass the message to all the courtyards. Feng doesn't need to go to pay respects anymore. And if she wants to go out of Cheng'en Garden, she must get your approval first. Otherwise, she should stay in this courtyard and rest assured to take care of her pregnancy."

Nian Shilan felt relieved, put her arms around Yinzhen's neck, and leaned gently into his arms.

The next day, before dawn, Yinzhen quietly got up and went out.

Su Peisheng was a eunuch and it was inconvenient for him to travel far, so he was ordered to stay in the mansion.

Some people who came to visit Yinzhen had to be rejected by Su Peisheng, the personal eunuch, to be credible.

After hearing the order from Yinzhen conveyed by Su Peisheng, Ulanara smiled faintly.

"Got it. Please rest assured, Master. Right now, the most important thing is that Feng takes care of her pregnancy. We can talk about paying respects later."

Su Pei praised.

"Master Fu Jin Sheng En, I will go to Cheng En Garden and tell him right away."

Ulanara stared at Su Peisheng's back and sneered.

"Ms. Nian is smarter than I thought. Since she entered the mansion, she has opposed me everywhere, but she has always managed to escape unscathed. I heard that she only knew how to eat, drink and enjoy music in the Nian mansion, and I always thought she was a mediocre person, but I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful. She quietly asked the master for grace and confined Ms. Feng in Cheng'en Garden. Could it be that she wanted to follow the path I have taken, just waiting for Ms. Feng to die, so that she can also have a cheap son. I'm afraid she is not so lucky, and this mansion can only have my child."

Jianqiu asked cautiously.

"Then what should we do next? I heard from Jiang Fuhai that Cheng'en Garden is now as tight as an iron barrel, and there is no communication between the inside and outside. The people we had previously sent in were also sent to the laundry room by Concubine Hua a few days ago with an excuse. It will be very difficult to send people in again."

Ulanara lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Jianqiu.

"Come with me to see the Third Prince first. It's time for him to breastfeed. Also, ask Jiang Fuhai to give the eight-treasure glass bracelet on my dressing table to Nian Zhilan. Tell her that he feels sorry for her because she hasn't been favored since she entered the mansion. Now the master's old illness has relapsed, and he may not see the women in the backyard for several months. When she has nothing to do, just treat my Xingfu Courtyard as her own home and come and visit often."

Jianqiu went out of the house to settle Jiang Fuhai, and then followed Ulanara to see the third prince.
