The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 324 Drawing Lots for a String of Tea
Nian Shilan looked at the Fourth Prince in her arms. His open eyes looked brighter than the previous two days, but he still looked listless.

Hatred surged in Nian Shilan's heart.

She had many enemies in her previous life, she knew it but didn’t care.

In this life, because of the misfortune of giving birth to Hongli, she always left some wiggle room for everything she did, and always silently accumulated blessings for Hongli in her heart, but the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop.

Nian Shilan’s teeth were almost broken.

It’s okay to target her, but it’s absolutely not okay to target Hongli!

Xiao Linzi did not miss the sinister look in Nian Shilan's eyes. He was waiting for Nian Shilan to speak.

Nian Shilan was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, he just said lightly.

"Forget it. The Liu family has died tragically, and Hongli is fine. Let's just forget about it."

Xiao Linzi was extremely confused. Forget it? When did his master become so peaceful?

Although Xiao Linzi was confused, he still responded "yes" and went away to do other things.

Nian Shilan teased the Fourth Prince in her arms with her eyelashes drooping, without even raising her head, she instructed Xiaoman.

"The Fourth Prince has gotten much better, and it looks like he'll be fully recovered in two days.

I want to have a good sleep tonight, please prepare hot water for me to take a bath.

Then add the jasmine essential oil that the emperor gave me to soak in the water. "

Xiaoman agreed and left, but before she left, she looked at the amused Fourth Prince in Nian Shilan's arms as if unintentionally.

Nian Shilan waited for Xiaoman to leave the door before staring at the direction Xiaoman went out thoughtfully.

At this time, Guyu and Jingzhe were serving him, as well as two new wet nurses.

Nian Shilan handed the Fourth Prince to the wet nurse and was supported by Guyu and left.

Jingzhe followed behind Nian Shilan, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and was seen by Songzhi who came forward. Songzhi smiled and said to Jingzhe.

"What are you thinking about? You look like you have a lot on your mind."

Jingzhe shook his head and replied.

"Sister Songzhi, you are joking. I serve the Empress, I eat better and wear more gorgeous clothes than other palaces. What else can I worry about?"

Songzhi didn't say much, she just came forward and took Nian Shilan's arm, talking as they walked.

"I went to inquire and found out that Lady Li has been living a very happy life in Huanhua Residence these days.

I heard that Lady Li has become increasingly irritable for some reason, and she beats and scolds the palace maids at every turn."

This sentence aroused Nian Shilan's curiosity. Although Concubine Li was also stupid and unreliable in her previous life, she would not beat or scold the palace maids at will.

Even for a fool like Kang Luhai, Concubine Li just watched him slap himself.

Year of the Landau.

"Have you found out clearly? Why did Lady Li do this?"

Songzhi shook her head.

"The servants in Huanhua Residence have been complaining bitterly these days, fearing that if they are unhappy, they will anger Lady Li.

It is said that every time Concubine Li got angry, the palace maiden named Peihong beside her would take out a string of beads for Concubine Li to smell.

The palace maids in Huanhua Residence saw it clearly. As soon as Concubine Li smelled the beads, her temper subsided.

She could even smile at the servants she had beaten and scolded before, but little did she know that

It is precisely because of Lady Li's mood swings that the servants are even more afraid of her."

Nian Shilan smiled. Who wouldn't be scared when they meet a moody master? "Have you asked clearly which bead has such a miraculous effect? ​​I also got it here to calm my temper."

Nian Shilan was joking with Songzhi, and Songzhi told her all the details about the beads that she had found out.

There was no way. The palace maids who served Concubine Li in Huanhua Residence were more curious than Songzhi, and were also grateful for the beads.

Serving under such a master, the servants had secretly spread the legend of the string of beads awarded by Lady Ulanara as something magical.

It is said that the beads can calm the mind if placed next to the pillow, and can give peace of mind if worn on the hand.

So the brave concubines in the palace also went to ask Ulanara to reward them with a string.

However, Ulanara said that the beads were made of precious material and were a tribute. After giving one string to Concubine Li, there were still two strings left.

In order to make the concubines feel fair, Ulanara even asked them to draw lots when paying their respects.

Nian Shilan had not gone to pay her respects to Ulanara these days. I heard that in the end, Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin each got a string.

Songzhi said that Xin was always very happy and wore the pearl necklace on her wrist every day.

This caused Li Guiren, who lived with Xin Changzai, to be weird several times.

Xin Changzai was deliberately showing off. When she saw Li Guiren staring at her wrist, she would show the pearl necklace from her wrist and then say it proudly.

"This gift from the Queen is really good! It has a unique fragrance! Come, all of you smell it!
I heard that this bead is a treasure sent as tribute from the Western Regions.
There were only three strings in the palace, and the Queen was so generous that she gave them all to us!
By the way, Sister Li, please smell this bead and see if it smells good!"

Li Guiren, who was enjoying the cool in the courtyard, was so angry with Xin Chang that she turned around and went back to her room.

But she was sitting in the room, unable to swallow this humiliation, so she ordered her maid to pour all the water used for washing in front of Xin Changzai's door.

Xin Changzai was not angry, but continued to show off in front of Li Guiren happily the next time, which made Li Guiren dislike Xin Changzai more and more.

Nian Shilan thought that in her previous life, Concubine Li at least had the Third Prince by her side, and for the sake of his son, Yinzhen had to talk to her.

In this life, Concubine Li had neither a prince to support her nor a brain to lean on, and one day she didn’t even know how she would die.

However, these things had nothing to do with her, so Nian Shilan just listened to them.

By the time the Fourth Prince finally recovered, it was already early August, and people in Qingliang Palace began to enter and leave normally.

While Nian Shilan and her servants seemed relaxed, Empress Dowager De was so angry that her teeth were almost broken.

"What a waste! How could he be cured? A baby less than a year old actually survived this epidemic!"

Zhuxi, who was standing by, helped Empress Dowager De to breathe smoothly and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Empress Dowager De snorted coldly.

"Calm down? Unless Hua Fei's son dies, the anger in my heart can't go away!"

Queen Mother De took a breath and continued.

"How is Yunli these days? I can't even see him now, how can I not hate him!"

Empress Dowager Zhu Xiweide paused for a moment to relax and said with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother should rest assured, the Fourteenth Master has always been well taken care of by Lord Longkodo.

You don't need to worry about it. Although you can't see the Fourteenth Master now, he is under the care of Lord Longkodo.

After all, he is doing well. I heard that the Fourteenth Master has gained some weight recently and his complexion is very rosy. "

Empress Dowager De suddenly seemed to lose her temper, her body went limp, and her tone was full of regret.

"It's all my fault that I was ill at the time and couldn't protect him. Otherwise, how could Concubine Hua have schemed against him like this!"
