The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 236: Requesting Concubine Shen
Nian Shilan stretched out her hand to smooth out the wrinkles on her clothes that had accidentally appeared, without even raising her eyes, and said.

"Your Majesty is too cautious. When did I ever say anything hurtful?
The so-called good intentions should only be considered good intentions if I feel they are good.

Besides, I just said that the emperor is busy and Li Guiren rarely sees him."

As Nian Shilan spoke, her eyes turned towards Li Guiren.

"Mrs. Li, tell me, am I right?"

Concubine Li glanced away, not daring to look at Nian Shilan or Ulanara.

Nian Shilan didn't take it seriously and didn't ask any more questions. She just said.

"Today is the first snowfall. Following the example of previous years, the Emperor must hold a family banquet in Yuqing Palace.

If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will go and take a look at the arrangements for the family banquet.

I wonder what the Queen thinks?"

When Concubine Shen heard what Concubine Hua said, she was already indignant.

She had heard that Concubine Hua was domineering, but when she entered the palace, Concubine Hua was pregnant and in poor health. She rarely even came to pay her respects to the Empress, and when she came, she would just sit for a while, drink a cup of tea and leave.

However, Concubine Shen and other newcomers did not know what Concubine Hua’s true character was like.

Today, I realized that the Queen was also feeling aggrieved.

Although Concubine Shen was angry in her heart, she did not show it on her face and refused to say a word.

She and Zhen Changzai looked at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts.

However, Zhen Changzai had been smart and gentle since childhood. At this time, she was unwilling to say a word or do anything more.

Ulanara said.

"I am thinking that your health still needs to be taken care of, Concubine Hua, so I won't bother you with these trivial matters.

But since you have suggested arranging a family dinner, I will be happy to have some free time.

If you need help, please let me know.

I think there are a few sisters who can be used."

Nian Shilan stood up, bowed casually and said.

"I thank the Queen very much, and I will ask the Queen for Shen Guiren.

I have heard that Lady Shen is good at reading and writing and has great talent.

Your Majesty knows that I have not worked hard on poetry and literature, and it has been inconvenient for me many times. "

Ulanara was puzzled. She had never heard of any dealings between Concubine Shen and Concubine Hua before, but today Concubine Hua specifically asked for Concubine Shen.

She thought that Concubine Hua would ask Concubine Jing for help.

Zhen Changzai was also very surprised. When did Sister Mei start to have any contact with Concubine Hua?

When Concubine Shen met Concubine Zhen's suspicious look, she just shook her head slightly. She was also full of questions.

After being surprised, Ulanara looked at Concubine Shen, who was dressed elegantly, and smiled.

"Mrs. Shen, Concubine Hua wants to ask you to help with the trivial matters in the palace. Are you willing?"

Concubine Shen stood up, bowed respectfully to Ulanara, and then bowed to Nian Shilan.

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, it is my blessing that Her Majesty Hua Fei has taken a liking to me, and I am naturally delighted.

But I was young and ignorant. Although my mother taught me a thing or two at home, I had never taken care of anything.

I'm afraid it will delay Concubine Hua's business and bring shame to the Empress.

Why not, I will first follow Concubine Hua and learn for a while, and then help her."

Ulanara looked at Nian Shilan with a smile.

"Hua Fei, what do you think? I think Concubine Shen has a gentle temperament, so you should take good care of her."

Nian Shilan just smiled and said yes, then motioned for Concubine Shen to follow her.

After Nian Shilan took Shen Guiren away from Jingren Palace, everyone in the palace seemed to come to their senses.

Noble Lady Fucha looked at Concubine Zhen and said with a smile.

"If you ask me, Concubine Shen is still blessed. Don't you agree, Zhen Changzai? I heard that you and Concubine Shen are like sisters. You grew up together and entered the palace together.

You said that Concubine Shen was favored by the Emperor but she didn't recommend you.

You are so quiet, you have won the favor of Concubine Hua, but you seem to be as ignorant as we are."

Zhen Changzai lowered her eyes and said respectfully.

"Sister Mei is favored by Concubine Hua, and Sister Fucha is also favored by the Empress.

In terms of it, Noble Lady Fucha is always better, which makes me, her younger sister, very envious. "

Noble Lady Fucha said disdainfully.

"What did I say, and what did you answer? But you are not wrong. The most honorable woman in the palace is the Empress.

Being favored by the Queen is a blessing I earned in my previous life, and it is also a good fortune you cannot envy."

Zhen Changzai said nothing more, and Ulanara spoke.

"Okay, Noble Lady Fucha, please stop talking.

I like you to speak your mind, but you can't be the best in everything.

Zhen Changzai, don't worry too much.

Although the Emperor has not turned over your card due to being busy,
But my feelings towards all of you sisters are the same.

Look at Concubine Wan, she is the most favored person in the palace besides Concubine Hua.
Among the others, Concubine Wan is the most favored by the Emperor.

But Lady Wan has always been neither arrogant nor impatient, and has a gentle temperament.
All the sisters should learn more from Wan Guiren. "

Ulanara said to Jingpin again.

"Princess Jing, you are the head of Xianfu Palace, and Princess Kangle is young.

I think Concubine Hua understands you, so she asked me for Concubine Shen.

I didn't ask you for help, so don't worry about it."

Jingpin spoke in her usual gentle tone.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I really have too much to do and cannot leave. I am very grateful to Your Majesty and Concubine Hua for their understanding of me."

Because An Da Ying was of a lower rank, he just lowered his head and listened, but he had something in mind.

Nian Shilan took Concubine Shen to make arrangements in Yuqing Palace, but she did not give any instructions to Concubine Shen.

It was just that Concubine Xu Shen followed her silently, giving her some advice occasionally.

Lady Shen is the eldest daughter in the family, and she was originally trained to be the mistress of her family since she was young.

Even though she knew that she would marry the emperor one day, if she really failed in the selection, her talent as a mistress would still come in handy.

Concubine Shen watched Nian Shilan's actions and took note of them in her heart. The rules in this palace were indeed very different from those outside the palace.

Concubine Shen thought privately that today's incident happened suddenly and she was forced to follow Concubine Hua. When she found an opportunity, she would analyze it carefully with Huan'er.

It would also be good to ask her for some advice on how to stay neutral between the Queen and Concubine Hua without offending anyone.

Lady Shen was still lost in her thoughts when she heard Songzhi's unhappy voice.

"Miss Shen, our queen just spoke to you, but you didn't respond. Why is that?"

Caiyue, Shen Guiren's personal maid, said hurriedly.

"Don't be upset, Miss Songzhi. Our young master may be tired and distracted for a moment."

Song Zhi said.

"Miss Caiyue, what you said is so unreasonable. Who the hell am I to make you angry?
I am just kindly reminding Lady Shen that Lady Hua was talking to you just now."

Year of the Landau.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Songzhi, don't be impolite in front of other ladies, or they will say that the people around me are bullying others by taking advantage of their power."

Songzhi bowed, replied yes, and then said to Concubine Shen.

"Please forgive me, my lady. I have said too much."
