The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 153 Understand My Palace
Nian Shilan was playing with birds in the Yiku Palace, and the white-feathered parrot that couldn't talk and was always jumping around on the golden stand was also brought into the palace by Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi was now the chief eunuch of the Yiku Palace. Although he was young, he was capable and prudent in his work.

Yinzhen originally thought that Xiao Linzi was too young, only fourteen years old this year, and wanted Su Peisheng to pick a mature and experienced eunuch in the palace. Nian Shilan agreed.

"I think Xiao Linzi is a good person. Being young has its advantages. He doesn't have so many evil thoughts. In my opinion, there is no need to replace him. Just let him gain some experience."

Xiao Linzi knelt down to express his gratitude without waiting for Yinzhen to speak.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you!"

Yinzhen pretended to be angry.

"You slave, I haven't agreed yet, but you're already thanking me!"

Sweat broke out on Xiao Linzi's back in an instant, and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Nian Shilan burst out laughing and said to Xiao Linzi.

"Forget it, just go and do your job well. Didn't you hear that the emperor was joking with you? You don't even have the slightest sense. You really need some experience. When you have nothing to do, go and learn more from the old eunuchs in the palace."

Xiao Linzi responded with "Yeah" and quickly retreated.

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan.

"You are nice to the servants. But you are always cold to me. Especially after entering the palace, you always try to avoid getting close to me. Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Nian Shilan saw the inquiry in his eyes and upon careful consideration, she realized that she had indeed been colder towards him recently.

But when he was in the palace before, he often came to her courtyard. Now that he has entered the palace, it is difficult for her to see him.

If it were me in my previous life, I would have made a fuss if I didn’t see Yinzhen for three days.

It has been three months since she last saw him, and Nian Shilan thought that she probably wouldn't even remember to take the initiative to look for him.

It has been a long time since she last saw Li Ke. Nian Shilan hasn't seen him since before Concubine Jing gave birth. She doesn't know whether he is still alive after leaving without saying goodbye.

Nian Shilan looked into Yinzhen's eyes and smiled.

"Your Majesty has wronged me again. When have I ever been cold to you? It's because you've been busy these days and I'm worried about your health, so I always let you rest. In my heart, there's not a moment when I don't miss you."

When Nian Shilan said this, her big eyes sparkled. Yinzhen knew that she was just trying to please him, but he was still easily aroused by her.

The red waves rolled over, and the rain and rain just stopped. Yinzhen hugged Nian Shilan from behind, panting.

"Shilan, give birth to a child for me."

Nian Shilan thought of the male fetus that had already taken shape and was aborted. When she heard Yinzhen's words, she felt nauseous for no reason.

She covered her mouth and calmed down for a long time before speaking without emotion.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has many things to do. I'm sure your body can't handle it. Don't you already have the third prince and the little princess in the palace? Your Majesty likes children, so you can summon more princes and princesses to accompany you."

Yinzhen tightened his arms around Nian Shilan and spoke softly.

"I want to have a child with you."

Nian Shilan said with her back to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that my mother's family will become too powerful and cause trouble for you, your majesty?"

Yinzhen couldn't help but loosen his hold on Nian Shilan, and after a while, he spoke.

"Are you testing my feelings? The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I think you know that."

Nian Shilan didn't speak or move until she felt Yinzhen get up, call for help and fetch water. Nian Shilan still lay on her side facing inwards.

Yinzhen was helped by the palace maids to put on his clothes, and left a few words before leaving.

"I will pretend that I have not heard these words today. I hope that you, Concubine Hua, will take care of yourself." Nian Shilan sneered in her heart. Every time Yinzhen mentioned that she should give birth to a child, she would think of the male fetus that had already taken shape. What should she do to be able to bear children for him again without any hesitation?

You worked so hard to get the throne, but you still feel guilty about it.

Nian Shilan thought at this moment, she would not let him have his way. If he wanted a child, he should see if he was willing to do so!

Songzhi watched the emperor leave and brought in a bowl of medicine.

"My lady, do you still want to drink this medicine?"

Nian Shilan said nothing, reached out to take the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Call Wen Xianqing tomorrow to check my pulse."

An San, also known as Li Ke by Nian Shilan, was kneeling in front of Yinzhen in the imperial study in a guard uniform.

Yinzhen tapped the huge sandalwood desk in the imperial study with his left index finger. Ansan's heart tightened with every tap.

"Your Majesty, this is all I know."

Yinzhen stopped tapping the desk and looked at An San.

"Since you knew that Concubine Hua was taking contraceptive soup, why didn't you tell me? Did you tell the late emperor?"

An San hurriedly shook his head and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am short-sighted and thought it was a trivial matter. I just forgot about it and never mentioned it to anyone!"

Yinzhen stared at An San for a long time and said slowly.

"My secret guards always report everything in detail. It seems that you haven't learned enough in the secret guard camp. Then go back and study hard. Once you have learned how to be loyal to the master and how to report intelligence, you can go out to serve."

Ever since the day the Emperor favored Concubine Hua and returned to the Yangxin Palace overnight, the Emperor has not set foot in the Yikun Palace for more than half a month.

She either stayed in Concubine Duan's Yanqing Palace, or in Changchun Palace where Concubine Shu and Concubine Li lived, or she would stay alone.

Ulanara listened to Jianqiu.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured now. Concubine Hua has fallen out of favor, and the Emperor has stopped visiting her Yikun Palace. When you find an opportunity, Your Majesty can deal with her, and this will relieve her hatred for always opposing you."

Ulanara sneered.

"Falling out of favor? I'm afraid not. Although the emperor does not go to her Yikun Palace, there are people who report to the emperor every day about Hua Fei's situation. We only saw that the emperor did not go to her palace for more than half a month, but we still don't know the reason. How can I rest assured?"

Jianqiu bit her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and said.

"How about letting Jiang Fuhai find a way to arrange for someone to go to the Yikun Palace. Before, in the mansion, you were the wife and she was the concubine. She also had the power to assist in the household affairs, so you had to tolerate her. Now that you are the most important in the harem, you want to arrange for a few palace servants, it should be okay, right?"

Ulanara glanced at Jianqiu.

"I know what's going on. When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?"

Jianqiu fell to her knees.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have overstepped my authority and should not have interfered in this matter."

Ulanara reached out and helped her up, sighing.

"Get up. Too many things have happened recently. I am not able to plan well and my temper is a little irritable. What you said is actually what I think, but whether in Cheng'en Garden or Yikun Palace, Nian is very wary of me. I have to find a suitable person and let him in from Yikun Palace. It would be best if this person is someone that Nian dare not refute."

Jianqiu stood up, seeming to understand what Ulanara meant.

"You mean to ask her to place someone there?"

Ulanara smiled and patted Jianqiu's hand.

"Good girl, you understand me."
