The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 220 Punishing Jiang Fuhai
Nian Shilan looked at that face and gazed at her from a distance.

At this moment, the fifteen-year-old girl Zhen Huan was slightly surprised for a moment, and almost immediately nodded with a smile, and then lowered her head.

Another young lady walking alongside her seemed to be asking her something.

Nian Shilan had good eyesight, but she only saw Zhen Huan move her mouth slightly.

Then she was lost in the group of hurriedly walking beauties and headed towards the Jiaotai Hall.

Nian Shilan looked for a long time. Xiao Linzi had already noticed where Nian Shilan was looking and waved his hand gently to stop the sedan bearer.

Only when she could no longer see the beauties and the hurried palace maids did Nian Shilan quietly tell the sedan bearers to go.

The moment Nian Shilan turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a figure jogging towards the direction of Jiaotai Hall.

Nian Shilan looked carefully at the figure's back. He was very thin, and the clothes he wore were not made of the latest fashionable fabrics in the capital.

As he ran, his whole body swayed from side to side like a leaf in the wind.

Nian Shilan guessed that she was the daughter of some small family and came late.

She was too lazy to pay too much attention to it. In the matter of talent shows, besides being good-looking enough, one also needs some family background and some luck.

Just looking at the figure today, even if he is selected by chance, it will be difficult for him to move around in the palace in the future.

Either you become a stepping stone for others, or you will be unknown all your life.

Those who are luckier have the opportunity to serve the emperor half the time, but those who are unlucky are often forgotten by the emperor and left in a corner until they die of old age.

Those concubines who were not favored had to sit in a palm-sized room all day long. Those who were not concubines or above did not even have a decent palace.

Although she was a concubine, she was not favored and had no children, and her later years were miserable.

What’s the point of such a life?

Nian Shilan came to her senses and wanted to go back to Yikun Palace.

Jiang Fuhai saw Nian Shilan from afar, walked calmly to her sedan chair, bowed and knelt, and Xiao Linzi hurriedly stopped the sedan chair.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei, may Your Majesty be blessed~"

Nian Shilan's belly was noticeable, and sitting in the sedan chair for half a day was becoming increasingly tiring. She leaned back against the backrest, looking down at Jiang Fuhai as he knelt at her feet.

"Eunuch Jiang, please get up. Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Jiang Fuhai stood up, quickly looked up at Nian Shilan, and then lowered his head again.

"Reporting to Concubine Hua, the Queen said that the weather is good today and it is rare that Concubine Hua is willing to come out for a walk.

The Empress has invited all the ladies in the harem to listen to the opera in Qingyin Pavilion, and please also ask Concubine Hua to do you a favor."

Nian Shilan stroked her belly, and the fetus in her belly kicked her lightly. Nian Shilan frowned slightly.

But in Jiang Fuhai's eyes, this scene had a different meaning.

Nian Shilan replied nonchalantly.

"Eunuch Jiang, please report to Her Majesty the Queen. Thank you for your kindness.

It's just that the baby in my womb is moving restlessly, and it's so hot,
I couldn't sit still to listen to the opera, so I went back first."

After saying this, Nian Shilan continued to lean lazily on the sedan chair, while Xiao Linzi sang.

"Get up the sedan~"

Jiang Fuhai stopped the sedan bearer and knelt down again.

"The Queen said that you are in a heavy condition now and she knows that you don't like to move around.

However, because you asked Imperial Doctor Wen for help last time, the Queen has never had the chance to thank you properly.

All the concubines in the palace are here today, and the emperor is conducting a palace selection. I think the new lady will enter the palace to serve soon.

The Queen said that she would like to bring all the ladies to have some fun, so please do me a favor."

Nian Shilan sat in the sedan chair and looked at Jiang Fuhai who was kneeling on the ground with a sneer.

"It's been a long time since the Queen thanked me, and I can't bear it. From what Eunuch Jiang said, I have to go today?"

Jiang Fuhai said respectfully.

"Reporting to Concubine Hua, I'm afraid so. All the ladies have been invited. The Empress is the master of the harem.

You are also the emperor's favorite. If you insist on not going, I'm afraid there will be a lot of criticism in the palace.

If there are those villains who presume that you are disrespectful to the Queen and treat you badly, what do you think? "

Nian Shilan gently raised her right hand, placed it in front of her eyes, and admired the nail polish that she had asked the servant to apply last night.

I saw her nails were bright red, and under the sunlight, they looked very eye-catching and beautiful.

Nian Shilan smiled faintly.

"Since the Queen has said that she hasn't had a chance to thank me properly, I'm not feeling well today.
I beg the Queen to spare me. This will be considered as the Queen's thanks to me.

You also said that I am the emperor's favorite, and I admit it.

You must know that since I am a favored concubine, a favored concubine should always act arrogantly.

If you continue to talk nonsense and don't give way to me, I don't mind walking a few more steps to the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

I want to see whether the emperor has the final say in this palace.

Or is it really as you said, taking the Queen's surname and adding the title Ulanala?"

Jiang Fuhai was shocked and immediately stood up and moved aside, saying.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Hua. I was the one who delivered the message improperly."

Nian Shilan looked at Jiang Fuhai who was standing on the side of the road with a smile on her face.

"It turns out that Eunuch Jiang's message was inappropriate. I thought the Queen wanted to take over the Aixinjueluo palace for herself.

Since Jiang Gonggong can't speak, he should go back and learn how to speak. Right now, I didn't tell you to get up.

But you are smart and know what it means that a good dog does not block the road.

Since you have good eyesight, I will reward you with kneeling here for only one hour.
Think carefully about how to speak to the master next time you see him."

Jiang Fuhai wanted to say something, but when he met Nian Shilan's eyes, he immediately shut up and knelt down.

"Xiao Linzi, have someone watch here until Eunuch Jiang kneels for a full hour before letting him stand up."

Nian Shilan left this sentence and returned to Yikun Palace first.

Xiao Linzi, who is almost sixteen years old, has grown taller. He has also been secretly practicing the martial arts that An San taught him at night, so he looks lean and strong.

Among the palace maids passing by, some younger ones secretly glanced at Xiao Linzi who was standing next to Jiang Fuhai.

Xiao Linzi looked back nonchalantly, baring his teeth and showing a beautiful smile. The little palace maid was so panicked that she tripped over her left foot and almost fell down.

Xiao Linzi looked at the little palace maid and touched his face with joy.

In the past few years following his master, Xiao Linzi has never been treated harshly.

He also grew from a skinny little eunuch who looked like a chicken into a young man with red lips and white teeth.

Even though this "boy" of his is not a real boy, Xiao Linzi is already very satisfied.

If his master hadn't taken him in, he would probably not have lived to enter the palace and would have turned into a handful of dust.

Jiang Fuhai knelt on the side of the road. The July sun was very hot. After a quarter of an hour, his face had turned red and beads of sweat the size of beans were running down his temples.

Xiao Linzi stood leisurely in the shadow of the tree, leaning idly against the trunk and looking around.

Jiang Fuhai had followed Ulanara since she married into the palace. He was also a respectable eunuch and had never experienced such hardship.

But the person he met was Concubine Hua, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

In the previous life, Jiang Fuhai, who relied on the power of the queen and spoke crookedly, was finally punished by Hua Pangpang in broad daylight. Guess how the fourth uncle would react when he found out.
