The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 214 No Longer Serving
Nian Shilan looked at the list of concubines to be selected in her hand. She flipped through it casually and finally found "Zhen Huan, daughter of Zhen Yuandao, Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

In this life, Nian Shilan cannot tell her brother directly.

If I were to have any problems with a court official for no reason, my brother would definitely get to the bottom of it given his personality.

So Nian Shilan waited patiently. Fortunately, many people and things in this life did not follow the trajectory of the previous life.

At this time in the previous life, Zhen Huan had just been born and Zhen Yuandao had not yet taken the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

In this life, there are many more variables and many more people that Shilan had never seen in the previous life.

Therefore, it is not surprising to Nian Shilan that Zhen Huan, who is now fifteen years old, is going to participate in next year's general election.

Nian Shilan saw a few familiar names at the back of the booklet. She stared at the three words "Shen Meizhuang" for a long time.

Nian Shilan was recalling why she hated Shen Meizhuang so much in her previous life and wanted to kill her several times.

Did it start with Shen Meizhuang's words "a beauty of national beauty" or did it start with her and Zhen Huan's sisterly relationship?

After thinking for a long time, Nian Shilan had to admit that in her previous life, she was so jealous that she would not tolerate anyone taking away Yinzhen's favor.

She did so many things to win Yinzhen's unique favor.

She actually did it. Even the Huanyixiang was given to her alone by Yinzhen, and no one else had it.

Nian Shilan laughed at herself, closed the book, and waited for Songzhi to order someone to bring some water so that she could wash her hands and eat.

It was already the end of September, and it was rare that a plate of crab roe crisps was served in the imperial kitchen.

Nian Shilan used to love eating this the most, but now looking at this plate of crab meat cakes, Nian Shilan frowned.

Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan's expression and was not sure whether she wanted to eat the snack, so she asked tentatively.

"The Imperial Kitchen has always remembered the dishes that the Master likes to eat. I heard that the ingredients for making the crab roe pastry today were specially obtained by the Emperor.

It is said that there are not many yellow crabs in this season.

Therefore, the fact that we have this plate of crab meat cakes is a sign of the emperor’s favoritism towards his master.”

Nian Shilan stretched out her chopsticks towards the crab roe pastry, but stopped just an inch away from the pastry.

She withdrew her hand and picked up a plate of crystal shrimps next to her.

Nian Shilan chewed the shrimp in her mouth slowly, and after swallowing it, she asked Songzhi.

"How's the Queen these days? Still can't eat anything?"

Songzhi replied quickly.

"I heard that the Empress was very depressed a few days ago. She didn't even look at the various meals prepared by the imperial kitchen, and she only ate ginseng soup to keep herself awake all day.

But since the day before yesterday, the Queen Mother has been willing to eat.

Doctor Wen also stopped acupuncture and moxa fumigation and prescribed some warming and nourishing medicines. "

Nian Shilan picked up another piece of bluefin bream with chopsticks. The fish had already been deboned. Nian Shilan swallowed the fish meat and said.

"That's good. The queen must live well. She hasn't met the person she should meet yet."

Songzhi asked in confusion, “Huh?”

Nian Shilan said nothing and just ate his meal slowly.

Autumn goes and winter comes, and it is the twelfth lunar month again.

The floor heating in Jingren Palace was exceptionally warm, but Ulanara still felt bone-chillingly cold even as she sat on the couch wrapped in a brocade quilt.

"My lady, please hold this hot water bottle, it will keep you warm.

This was a new gift from the Emperor in the winter, and the pattern on it is your favorite, the phoenix wearing a peony.

It can be seen that the emperor still has you in his heart, but your health has not recovered yet, so it is not suitable for you to serve the emperor.

I know you are sad these days, but you still have the Third Prince.

You haven't seen the Third Prince these days. He has grown up very well. He is much taller than other children of his age. He is very pleasing to the eye."

Jianqiu took out a copper hot water bottle covered with a brocade embroidered cover and put it into Ulanara's arms.

Ulanara held the hot water bottle in her arms and smiled faintly.

"I know you want to comfort me.

How could I not know whether the Emperor has feelings for me?
The emperor's heart, from the very beginning, was with me.

But later, everything changed when the eldest sister came into the mansion.

The emperor was determined to welcome my sister into the palace, and no one could stop him.

Unfortunately, my sister was unlucky and was unable to protect the emperor's child."

Ulanara opened the brocade cover, and the hot water bottle on the brocade quilt revealed its original copper material and pattern.

“This phoenix wearing a peony is indeed my favorite. Both the phoenix and the peony symbolize the highest power among women in the Qing Dynasty.

But no matter how good the hot water bottle is, it can’t warm my heart.

Our son Honghui was still so young. When he fell ill and needed medical treatment, all the imperial doctors gathered around my sister.

The emperor too.

When Honghui died, the emperor was accompanying his pregnant sister.

Over the years, the Emperor has never been close to me. Jianqiu, do you know how much pain I feel inside? "

Jianqiu saw that Ulanara was gradually lost in her memories and tried to change the subject.

"My queen, you haven't seen the Third Prince for several days. Why don't I go and bring him here so that you can take care of him?"

Ulanara suddenly held her forehead with her hand, looking extremely painful.

Jianqiu hurriedly shouted "Call the imperial physician" while massaging Ulanara's temples.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I have already asked someone to summon the imperial physician. Your Highness has been injured this time, and the head has also flared up. I am really worried."

Ulanara felt the strength of Jianqiu's massage, but it did not help. She felt like her head was about to split apart.

My forehead and the back of my head were hurting at the same time, and my eye sockets were swollen and painful. It was really unbearable.

When Wen Xianqing arrived, he saw Ulanara lying on the bed groaning, her brows tightly furrowed and her face full of pain.

Wen Xianqing hurriedly took out the silver needles and gave acupuncture to Ulanara. Only when Ulanara's head was covered with silver needles did she relax her brows a little.

After a quarter of an hour, Ulanara felt much more relieved.

Ulanara said.

“Fortunately, I have Doctor Wen to treat me, otherwise I don’t know how long the pain will end.

By the way, Doctor Wen, what is going on with this cold in my head?"

Wen Xianqing calculated the time and removed the silver needles one by one for Ulanara, speaking carefully.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, you have suffered a serious injury this time, causing your Qi and blood to become weak.

In addition, you have not walked for a long time, and now the blood circulation speeds on both sides of your body are different, which will cause frequent headaches.

But after I have treated you this time, I will not be able to come to Jingren Palace again."

As Wen Xianqing finished his words, the last silver needle on Ulanara's face was also pulled out.

Ulanara turned her head a few times and felt that her headache was indeed gone and her neck seemed to be relaxed, so she asked in confusion.

"Oh? Why is that? Do you not want to serve me anymore?"

The talent show will be held tomorrow, and the progress will be accelerated. It's time for Zhen Huan to enter the palace. Hua Pangpang, Yixiu, Wan Guiren, Zhen Huan, fight, fight
