The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 304 Something Urgent
Concubine Li was about to retort, but when she saw Nian Shilan's playful look, she immediately stopped talking.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ulanara said.

"This summer is hotter than in previous years. The Emperor has not been to the Old Summer Palace since he ascended the throne, as he is still mourning the death of the late Emperor.

But the Emperor sympathized with us sisters who were bored in the palace. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory checked and found that June 16 was a good day.

The Emperor wants the ladies in the palace to prepare well in the next two days and spend the summer in the Old Summer Palace to cool off."

Nian Shilan had been to the Old Summer Palace many times in his previous life, but there was no fluctuation.

But the other concubines all had more or less happy expressions on their faces.

Li Guiren said.

"That's great. I've heard that the Old Summer Palace is the most comfortable place to cool off in the summer. I didn't expect the emperor would take us there."

An Da Ying also looked at Zhen Changzai happily, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

She lived in Xinyinwu in the Yanxi Palace, which was much smaller than other houses.

It is even more cramped and stuffy in this hot summer.

Zhen Changzai naturally knew how much expectation was contained in the look that An agreed to give her.

She looked at Ann and agreed.

"Now my sister can feel more comfortable. I heard that the Old Summer Palace is very cool."

Ulanara looked at the happy faces of the people below, smiled with satisfaction and said.

"The emperor still loves us the most. Look how happy everyone is."

Then he changed the subject and looked at Nian Shilan.

"Hua Fei, the Fourth Prince is still young, and you have to prepare a lot of things for him. Do you have enough manpower in the palace?"

Nian Shilan sneered in her heart. The Ulanara family would never give up and would send people to the Yikun Palace whenever they got the chance.

But she just smiled in response.

"Thank you for your consideration, Queen. My Yikun Palace has enough staff. Hongli is still young, so there are not many things.

I will tell the palace maids to start packing up soon, and the ladies in other palaces should also pack up their things quickly."

Ulanara nodded, said nothing more, and turned to Concubine Duan.

"Why is Concubine Duan wearing such plain clothes today? Although you came to the palace early like Concubine Hua,

But you never pay attention to dressing up. You are always quiet, I really feel sorry for you. "

Concubine Duan stood up, bowed and said.

"I am ashamed to accept the Queen's love. I have been wearing plain clothes these days to mourn for my unborn child.

Now that time has passed, I have gradually let it go. But I have become accustomed to wearing this way.

I haven't had time to make new clothes yet, but when I do, I will dress up beautifully."

Ulanara said.

"Since you are willing to dress up, I am also happy. I have two new clothes with good patterns and designs.

You can take them with you when you return home after greeting each other. Also, make a few nicer pieces of jewelry.

When serving the Emperor, one should dress brightly and beautifully. "

After leaving Jingren Palace, the concubines walked in groups of three or four.

Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen Zai'an agreed to go together, Concubine Shen said.

"Huan'er, since we've been living apart, we've seen each other less and less. How have you been these days?"

Zhen Changzai said with a smile.

"I should be the one asking this question to my sister. She's busy every day. Are you feeling well?"

Shen Guiren said.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried about you. But I feel a little more at ease knowing you're with Sister An.

This time the Emperor is taking us to the Old Summer Palace, I will definitely ask Concubine Hua to arrange for the three of us to live in the same place.

This way we can see each other every day. Otherwise, our relationship will fade over time."

Zhen Changzai stopped, looked into Shen Guiren's eyes, and took her hand. "Sister, are you going to be estranged from me by saying this? Although I haven't seen you for a long time, my servants have been delivering messages to me every day.

I know my sister is fine, and she knows I am fine, so how could our relationship fade away? "

Zhen Changzai shook off Shen Guiren's hand in a huff.

"I know. My sister must have felt alienated from me, so she said this to irritate me."

Concubine Shen hurriedly pulled Concubine Zhen's hand again and said anxiously.

"Huan'er, you are making me sad by saying this. When did I become estranged from you?"

An agreed and looked at the two of them and chuckled.

“I met the two sisters late, but I knew that it was Sister Zhen who was being naughty, but Sister Mei was anxious.

Okay, let's not stand here and talk anymore. It's rare that Sister Mei is free today.
Why don't I go to your place with Sister Zhen for tea? I haven't been there since Sister Mei moved to Changchun Palace."

Zhen Changzai said angrily.

"I have been in love with my sister for many years, but she doesn't understand me as well as Lingrong. Let's go to your place for tea.

The emperor gave you this delicious tea, so don't drink it by yourself!"

Only then did Concubine Shen breathe a sigh of relief and reached out to touch Concubine Zhen's forehead.

"You are still as naughty as before! You have been in the palace for so long, but you are still like a child."

The three of them happily walked hand in hand towards the Changchun Palace. When they were about to reach the gate of Changchun Palace, they heard someone calling from behind.

"Mrs. Shen, Mister Shen."

The three turned around and saw a young eunuch rushing over. Perhaps he was running in such a hurry that his hat was a little crooked.

Shen Guiren said.

"Is there something wrong with this eunuch?"

The young eunuch quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"My lady, I am sorry to trouble you. I am Sheng Liang, a eunuch serving in the Yikun Palace."

Concubine Shen smiled.

"Eunuch Sheng, please stand up, but Concubine Hua asked you to come here. Does she have something to tell me?"

Sheng Liang stood up, still bowing, extremely respectful.

"My lady is smart. Concubine Hua said that everyone will go to Yuanmingyuan the day after tomorrow, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

Concubine Hua said that if you are free, please go over and help."

Concubine Shen looked at Sheng Liang in embarrassment, then at Zhen Changzai and An Da Ying.

I had just agreed to have tea with them both at my place, and was thinking that we hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I decided to set up a table and get together with my sisters today.

Zhen Changzai saw the embarrassment of Concubine Shen and said.

"Empress Hua values ​​you, sister. Please go and do your work first. We will meet you for tea another day."

An agreed and said.

"Yes, I thought Sister Mei finally had some free time today, but Concubine Hua's place is more important, so Sister should go quickly."

Concubine Shen said helplessly.

"Okay, it's my fault today. I invited my two sisters to have tea, but I broke the appointment.

I will invite my two sisters to get together some other day. So, I will leave first."

After saying that, he hurriedly followed Sheng Liang away.

Zhen Changzai looked at Concubine Shen's hurried back, and the distracted and lonely look in her eyes could not be concealed.

An agreed and said calmly.

"Don't be sad, sister. Since sister Mei has something urgent to do, let's just enjoy ourselves.

You said a few days ago that you liked the tiger embroidery I made for you, so I embroidered a handkerchief with a tiger pattern for you."

An agreed to take Zhen Changzai back to the Yanxi Palace. She went to Guanju Tower with Zhen Changzai and sent the palace maid Baojuan back to Xinyinwu to get the handkerchief she had embroidered.
