The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 194 Plum Blossom Fairy
Fu Guiren was wearing a light red dance dress, with a fallen plum petal on her hair. She couldn't see Yinzhen's eyes when she bowed with her head down, but she knew that from this angle, she must look the most like him.

Yinzhen stretched out his hand in front of Fuguiren, and Fuguiren stood up with the help of this force.

"Get up. The weather is so cold and you are wearing so little. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Women should take care of themselves every day."

Yinzhen reached out and plucked the petals from Fuguiren's hair and played with them in his hands.

Fu Guiren looked at Yinzhen with bright eyes.

"I'm not cold. I'm in good health. Why did Silang come here suddenly? I haven't seen you for several days."

Yinzhen placed the petal in Fuguiren's hand, looked at her eyes, and for a moment he felt as if Yunxi was right in front of him.

Yunxi also called himself Silang in such a tender way, and also danced in a red dress in the season when the plum blossoms were in full bloom. He always felt that Yunxi was unique in the world in every way, but today he suddenly discovered that there was such a wonderful person who was very similar to her from face to temperament.

Seeing that Yinzhen didn't say anything and just stared at her blankly, Fuguiren stretched out her fair little hand and waved it gently in front of Yinzhen.

"What are you thinking about, Silang? You are so absent-minded that you don't even respond to me when I talk to you."

Fuguiren's tone was coquettish. Yinzhen watched her hand fall, and the red cloth knot on her wrist caught his eye.

Yinzhen grabbed Fuguiren's left hand, looked at the red cloth knot on her wrist and asked.

"what is this?"

There was a flash of panic in Fu Guiren's eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm.

"Nothing. Silang hasn't answered me yet. Why did you suddenly come to Yimei Garden?"

Yinzhen looked at Fugui's unnatural expression and his face darkened.

"Don't lie to me. You said you took me as your husband, so how could you hide something from your own husband?"

Fu Guiren slowly calmed down, withdrew her hand, gave Yinzhen a gift, and sighed.

"It's not that I intentionally concealed it. It's because this is a scar that I don't want to touch. My mother died when I was young, and my stepmother was fierce. I was forced to grow up on the farm. I once ran away from the farm secretly, wanting to go home to see my father, who hadn't seen me for a long time. But I didn't know the way, got lost, fell, and was scratched on the wrist by the weeds on the roadside. I bled a lot. I thought I was going to die, but I was found by the farm manager and his men, and I survived."

At this point, Fuguiren blinked and asked Yinzhen with a smile.

"Guess where I got lost, Silang."

Yinzhen had already felt pity for Fuguiren after listening to her previous words. Now, when he suddenly saw her smiling again, he was stunned again. This woman looked almost the same as Yunxi at first glance, but when he got to know her carefully, he vaguely discovered that she was different from Yunxi.

If Yunxi is the passionate yet arrogant red plum, then Fuguiren Sarina is more like a white plum that stands alone in the cold wind but has nutrients hidden in its heart.

Not being noticed by others, but being able to live happily.

"I don't know, maybe he got lost on the way back to the city?"

There was genuine curiosity and concern between Yinzhen's brows.

Lady Fu smiled sweetly.

"Where? I was so stupid that I didn't notice it even when I was walking around the farm. When I was found, it was on the roadside not far from the farm."

As he said this, he covered his mouth and laughed heartily, as if he was really upset and amused by his own stupidity.

Yinzhen felt distressed when he heard this and gently stroked the red cloth on Fuguiren's left wrist.

"I didn't notice it before, and I don't know what kind of scar it is. I will ask the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital to remove it for you."

Fu Guiren stopped laughing and looked at Yinzhen with bright eyes.

"I am very grateful for Silang's kindness, but this scar has been there for a long time and I am afraid it will be difficult to remove. When the emperor summoned me before, I thought the scar was ugly and was afraid of scaring the emperor, so I was deliberately covering it up. Now that Silang has come to the Yime Garden, why don't I dance here for him? This dance is specially for Silang alone." Su Peisheng handed over the long flute with both hands at the right time, and Yinzhen took it casually.

"Then I will accompany you. Your maid's playing is too bad."

Luo Yu stuck out his tongue and stepped aside, watching the emperor playing the flute while his master danced gracefully. His master's long sleeves occasionally brushed off a few petals. Suddenly, he looked like a plum blossom fairy.

After dinner, Su Peisheng came to Yiku Palace. He smiled and bowed to Nian Shilan.

"Hello, Madam Hua Fei. I am here on the orders of the Emperor to tell you that the Emperor will not be coming tonight."

Nian Shilan asked in a daze.

"Why? But the Emperor has many memorials to review and he hasn't finished reviewing them yet?"

Su Peisheng smiled carefully and whispered.

"Reporting to Concubine Hua, the Emperor went to Noble Lady Fu in Chuxiu Palace tonight. The Emperor said that you should be settled early and will come to Yikun Palace for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Nian Shilan stared at Su Peisheng in a daze, as if she was deflated, and said in a depressed mood.

"I understand. I will ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast for tomorrow. You can go and do the work first."

Su Peisheng watched Nian Shilan turn around and go into the house, sighed secretly, and hurriedly turned back to Chuxiu Palace. The emperor still had a lot of things to do.

But what Su Peisheng would not see was that as soon as Nian Shilan turned around, the depressed expression on her face disappeared, and was replaced by a sneer.

The man whom she loved terribly in her previous life never treated her specially because of her. But whenever she met a woman who looked like Queen Chunyuan, she would be obsessed with her and could not control herself.

In her previous life, it was Zhen Huan, and in this life, Fu Guiren came first. Nian Shilan was quite expectant. She wondered if Zhen Huan could still be as favored as in her previous life after she entered the palace?

Ulanara had nothing to do in Jingren Palace, so she picked up a book and started flipping through it, while Jiang Fuhai explained everything to her in detail.

"I heard that Concubine Hua picked some red plums and went to the Yangxin Palace today. The emperor had promised Concubine Hua that he would go to the Yikun Palace in the evening. But Concubine Hua was hurriedly asked by Xiao Linzi to take care of trivial matters in the harem, so the emperor went to the Yimei Garden by himself."

Jiang Fuhai stopped and Ulanara said indifferently.

"I asked the dance master to teach me the Jinghong Dance for so long. How is Lady Fu doing?"

Jiang Fuhai said respectfully.

"Your Majesty's arrangement is of course excellent. Concubine Fu is smart and learns quickly. The Emperor really likes her. Look, he has even forgotten what he promised Concubine Hua and went to Chuxiu Palace tonight."

Ulanara put her mind at ease with the book in her hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, when Concubine Hua entered the palace, she was also the favorite of the emperor. After entering the palace, she often acted arrogantly in front of the emperor and refused to show her admiration. As time went by, Concubine Fu took her place. I want to see how long the emperor can continue to favor Concubine Hua."

Jianqiu Road.

"Aren't you worried about Concubine Fu? What if she doesn't obey?"

Ulanara laughed even more happily.

"Disobedient? Her family is a Manchu military flag. Her father wants to climb to the top, but it is not enough for her to be the emperor's favorite concubine. My family has a firm control over her father. I don't believe that she doesn't care about her family."

Jianqiu said again.

"But I heard that Fuguiren's mother died when she was young, and she was not favored and was sent to the farm to be raised. I'm afraid she has no feelings for her family?"

Ulanara looked down at her armor and said slowly.

"A girl like her, who lost her parents' love when she was young, will only crave for recognition from her parents and elders when she grows up. I have inquired about it. When she was at the farm, she was always thinking about her good father, Lord Yintu."
