The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 150 Turning a blind eye

Yinzhen looked at the little baby in the wet nurse's hands. The third prince had not fallen asleep yet, and was looking at Yinzhen with bright eyes.

Yinzhen reached out and touched the Third Prince's little face. The smooth touch made him smile unconsciously.

Ulanara smiled.

"Master, would you like to hug the Third Prince? You haven't seen him in these days, and he has gained some weight."

Yinzhen withdrew his hand and let the wet nurse take the child away.

"When I look at this child, I think of Yunxi. After all, she didn't give birth to that child for me. She didn't even have the chance to look at me. That child is unlucky. Fu Jin should take care of the child now, and also take care of her own body."

Ulanara felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if her heart was being grasped in someone's hand and twisted into a ball. Yinzhen only thought of the unborn child, but never thought of Honghui, whom he had raised for three years!

Sister, sister, always sister! Sister is the one I think of in everything! Sister is dead but her ghost is still lingering around!
Ulanara calmed down secretly. She had experienced this kind of thing many times before. She almost asked a question. She hid the smile on her face and sighed.

"When I look at this child, I often think of my sister. If my sister were still alive, the dead cannot be resurrected. Master, please accept my condolences. Fortunately, God has mercy on the palace and has given us the third prince. Feng will also give birth soon, which is a great thing. This will also comfort the master a little."

Yinzhen stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Let's settle the concubine as soon as possible. Concubine Hua is taking care of Feng's pregnancy, you just need to take good care of the Third Prince."

Ulanara hesitated for a moment, then finally said.

"It's so late, why don't you just rest in Xingfu Courtyard?"

Yinzhen said without even turning his head.

"No. I have something else to deal with, so I'm going back to my study first."

"I respectfully send you off, Master."

Ulanara watched Yinzhen's figure disappear at the gate of Xingfuyuan, but still refused to go back to the house.

Jianqiu couldn't bear it.

"Master, it's windy at night, you should rest early."

It took a long time for Ulanara to let out a bitter smile.

"Jianqiu, tell me, what should I do so that the master can have me in his eyes? My sister has been dead for so long, but I still feel like she is still by my side every day, surrounding me and making me feel uneasy."

Jianqiu said nothing. Given the situation today, it was no wonder that Lady Fujin lost her composure.

Ulanara suddenly said again.

"Come on, follow me to see if the Third Prince is asleep."

When we arrived at the Third Prince's room, the wet nurse was taking a nap beside the Third Prince's crib. The Third Prince was sleeping soundly and quietly.

The wet nurse was startled when she noticed someone coming in. She saw Ulanara trying to kneel down in panic, but Ulanara stopped her.

After standing in front of the Third Prince's crib for a long time, Ulanara took Jianqiu out quietly.

"When I looked at the Third Prince just now, I remembered how lovely Honghui was when he was just born. At that time, my sister had just entered the mansion, and the master's heart was all on her. Even Honghui's full moon banquet was organized by my sister. As his biological mother, I could only watch from the side. Just because I was born out of wedlock and was a concubine, I didn't even have the qualifications to raise the child myself!"

Ulanara stood in the yard, looking up at the night sky.

Tonight is the end of April. There is no moon in the sky, making the stars even more numerous.

Ulanara looked at it for a long time, her neck became sore, and she muttered to herself.

"Look, the moon is gone, but there are more stars. All these stars are not as good as the moon in the master's heart."

Jianqiu said softly.

"Master, let's go back. I miss you."

Ulanara looked at Jianqiu, and as she smiled, two tears flowed down her face.

"Even you feel sorry for me, but the husband I have entrusted my life to has always ignored me."

That night, Ulanara couldn't sleep. On the first day of May, Nian Shilan was helped up by Songzhi early, packed up, and went to pay respects to Ulanara.

Ulanara looked at everyone, bowed, greeted, and said with a smile.

"It's already May, and the wind is still a little chilly in the morning. Ladies, please keep warm and don't let the wind blow on you."

Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin took the lead and spoke in unison.

"Thank you, Madam, for your concern."

Ulanara looked at Nian Shilan again and smiled.

"Sister, you look a little tired today, but did you not sleep well last night?"

Nian Shilan was pinching a silk handkerchief to cover up her yawn. When Ulanara asked this question, Nian Shilan's yawn was not completed and she felt very uncomfortable.

Nian Shilan slowed down his breathing and said nonchalantly.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I slept well last night. It's just that I was a sleepyhead and had to be forced to wake up by Songzhi. It's not that I'm disrespectful to Madam and didn't pay my respects in time."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, Ulanara laughed even more happily.

"It's okay. My sister is young, so it's normal for her to be a little sleepy. As long as you have to get up early and go to the palace on the Dragon Boat Festival, my sister will be fine."

Nian Shilan smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, Fu Jin, I know what's important. I know when to do what, and I know the limits."

Ulanara nodded and said, "That's good."

Then he turned to Qi Yuebin and said.

"Sister Qi, a new princess was added to your courtyard yesterday. I wonder if Sister Qi is used to it?"

Qi Yuebin slowly stood up, bowed, and replied respectfully.

"Thank you, Madam, for asking. Yesterday, I settled Princess Li in Yaoyue Garden, and I haven't had time to buy anything for her, but I have been thinking about this matter. Today, while Madam and Concubine Hua are here, I will bring the list of things to buy, and please take a look at it."

Ulanara smiled.

"Sister Qi is too polite and restrained. Please take a seat."

Jixiang handed the list to Ulanara with both hands. After reading it, Ulanara handed it to Jianqiu, who gave it to Nian Shilan.

"I have seen it. The list contains daily necessities. I have troubled Concubine Hua today. Please add some accordingly."

Nian Shilan replied lazily and asked Songzhi to accept the order.

The remaining Shu Gege, Nian Zhilan and Cao Qinmo did not speak.

Ulanara said to Nian Zhilan with a smile.

"Miss Nian, you have been in the mansion for three months. Although you now have Miss Cao to keep you company, you should also go to Cheng'en Garden more often. The affection between sisters is not something that ordinary people can compare to. Having your own sister in the mansion can also help you a little."

Nian Zhilan looked at Nian Shilan timidly, stood up carefully, and bowed to Ulanara.

"What the lady said is true. I am a sister to Concubine Hua, so we should visit each other more often. But Sister Feng in my sister's courtyard is about to give birth, and I am afraid that if I visit her too often, I will disturb her."

Ulanara looked at Nian Shilan.

"Sister's Cheng'en Garden is bigger than Sister Qi's Yaoyue Garden. Now it's just Sister and Feng living there, so it's a bit empty. Why don't we let Miss Nian move in to keep you two company? It will also make you sisters closer, what do you think?"

Ulanara's words were a coincidence. Daochengen Garden was larger than Yaoyue Garden, but only two masters of status lived there. Compared to the smaller Yaoyue Garden, which had three people living there, it seemed that Nian Shilan was spoiled and arrogant.

Nian Shilan stood up, bowed lazily and left.

"Forgive me for being so tired and unable to accompany you. Cheng'en Garden looks a bit bigger now, but Feng is about to give birth and it may be too crowded. If Fu Jin really wants us sisters to be closer, why don't you ask the master for permission? Whoever the master wants to live here, I will make room for him."
