The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 345: Peaceful Life

As he was talking, Jianqiu came in from the outer room, holding a small box in her hands. When she opened the box, a strange fragrance wafted into the air.

Concubine Duan was also a woman from a noble family. She had seen many good things and used many good spices.

Just by smelling the fragrance for a moment, Concubine Duan knew that this was something of great value, and she waved her hands hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, such fine spices are really too valuable. How can I take your things for free?

Besides, ambergris is extremely precious, and I heard that the Emperor doesn't give much of it as a reward.

How could the Queen give me such a valuable gift? I dare not accept it."

Ulanara signaled Jianqiu to close the small box and placed the box on the table in front of Concubine Duan.

"This is what I gave you, so just take it with confidence. No matter how precious ambergris is, it is just a spice.

Moreover, this is a spice that I don't need. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carefully prepare this spice.

It is reserved for those who are willing to follow me sincerely.

You can use it with confidence, this fragrance is so pleasant, even better than the spices that Concubine Hua uses on a daily basis.

Since you are my servant, I will not let you suffer any setbacks in food, clothing and daily expenses."

Concubine Duan couldn't refuse any longer, especially since the fragrance of the spice only lasted for a moment and it smelled so good.

If you burn it using an incense burner in your own temple, I don't know how it will make people feel comfortable.

Concubine Duan stood up, thanked him, and said casually.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your gift. I wonder if this wonderful spice has a name?"

Ulanara watched Concubine Duan open the small box, took a deep breath, and her eyes were filled with smiles.

"I named this incense Huan Yi Incense. If you like it, I will ask someone to make more for you after you use it up."

Concubine Duan thanked her again and told Jixiang to take the small box and leave Jingren Palace and return to her own palace.

Ulanara looked at Concubine Duan's departing figure and smiled meaningfully.

The ambergris in this Huanyi incense is a good thing. I hope Concubine Duan will not let such a good thing go to waste.

When the news that Concubine Duan had obtained the Huanyixiang reached Nian Shilan's ears, she couldn't stop the sneer on her face.

In the previous life, the Huan Yi Xiang was carefully prepared by Empress Dowager De and was given to her as a "special item" by Yinzhen.

But it was that Huan Yi Xiang that caused her to be unable to have children until her death!

Nian Shilan thought about her previous life and how she had to ask a doctor from outside to enter the palace in order to have a child.

Seeing that one concubine after another in the palace had children, Nian Shilan even thought that if she ate more pickles, she might get more favor from Yinzhen just like she had morning sickness.

How ridiculous it is to think about it now! It was not until the death of the previous life that I learned the truth from my mortal enemy Zhen Huan.

The moment she learned the truth, all of Nian Shilan's will to survive was instantly shattered.

Nian Shilan insisted on waiting for the emperor's decree in the cold palace before she would die, but she didn't expect that the fact that she was infertile would be used by the emperor as a topic of conversation with his mortal enemy after dinner.

In her previous life, Nian Shilan loved Yinzhen so much that she even naively fantasized about giving birth to a child for him.

Unfortunately, their relationship was calculated from the beginning.

Just like what Zhen Huan said, if it weren’t for the Nian family, how could she be favored by Yinzhen.

As Nian Shilan thought about the past, his eyes gradually dimmed, but the sneer at the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed.

In this life, I wonder who instructed Ulanara to give Concubine Duan the Huanyi incense. Many things in this life are different from the last one.

Nian Shilan discovered that Empress Dowager De and Ulanara were not as close as they were in the previous life.

What Empress Dowager De cared more about was not Nian Shilan and the Nian family, but the Empress Dowager.

If this life were to start over again following the trajectory of the previous life, Nian Shilan would be able to handle it with ease.

But unlike the previous life, things became more and more interesting.

The birth of Hongli was also beyond Nian Shilan's expectations. Nian Shilan had never forgotten the hardships she had gone through in her previous life to have a child.

But now that she has a child in this life, Nian Shilan will plan everything for her child.

But Hongli is still too young, only one year old.
Nian Shilan ordered the palace maid to bring Hongli over.

When the little soft child was just beginning to learn to speak, the palace maids and the wet nurse would usually teach the Fourth Prince to call her "Emother" and "Emperor Father".

But the Fourth Prince always couldn't explain it clearly, so Songzhi comforted Nian Shilan.

"Don't be impatient, madam. Your Excellency is slow to speak. Our Fourth Prince will have great fortune in the future."

Nian Shilan hugged the Fourth Prince and talked to him teasingly, then replied to Songzhi with a smile.

"I am not in a hurry. The saying that a noble person speaks slowly is just words to comfort myself.

This palace does not expect Hongli to have any great fortune, my only hope is that he will live a peaceful and safe life.

Hongli, I hope you can live a peaceful life. I just want you to grow up well."

The palace maids serving in Yikun Palace surrounded Nian Shilan and the Fourth Prince, watching the heartwarming scene of Nian Shilan teasing the Fourth Prince.

From outside came the eunuch's loud shouting.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Nian Shilan was holding Hongli and was helped to stand up by the palace servants. Yinzhen had already strode in from outside.

As soon as he came in, he saw Nian Shilan holding the child and trying to greet him, and he hurriedly said.

"No gift."

Nian Shilan, however, took two steps forward while holding Hongli, bent her knees slightly, lowered her head and smiled gently.

"Your Highness and I thank you for your consideration, but etiquette cannot be abolished. Your Highness and I wish you the best of health and good luck~"

Before Nian Shilan could finish her words, the Fourth Prince in her arms suddenly flapped his arms and tried to pounce on Yinzhen, shouting "Emperor Father" incoherently!
When Yinzhen heard clearly what the Fourth Prince was shouting, he was immediately overjoyed, with smiles in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Shilan, hurry up and get up! Did you hear clearly, Hongli just called me "Father Emperor"? Hahahaha, you are worthy of being my good son! You must have taught him that!"

After being surprised, Nian Shilan turned the struggling Fourth Prince in her arms towards Yinzhen's arms, and said with a speechless and jealous look on her face.

"Your Majesty, if I say I didn't teach you, do you believe me? I have always taught Hongli to call her mother.
But I didn't expect that he only cares about you, the Imperial Father. Until now, I have never heard a complete word of "mother" from him!
But when the emperor arrived today, Hongli called out "Father Emperor!" "I refuse to accept this!"

Yinzhen held the Fourth Prince in his arms, unable to let go, and didn't care about Nian Shilan's jealous look at all, he just said with a smile.

"After the morning court session today, I wanted to review the memorials, but I really missed you and your son, so I came to see you.

I didn't expect Hongli to give me such a big surprise! Shilan, tell me, is this the first time Hongli called me "Father Emperor"? "

Year of the Landau.

"That's not the first time! I held him in my arms everyday and never heard him say 'mother'. But once the emperor came, he happened to call me 'emperor father'!"

The smile on Yinzhen's face was magnified in front of the little Hongli.
