The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 348: Divide Your Energy
An agreed not to comment on Baojuan's words and just stared blankly.

Suddenly there was a sound outside. Baojuan hurried out to take a look, then turned around and said happily.

"My lady, it's Concubine Zhen who's here to see you!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhen Changzai came with Liuzhu Huanbi and Zhou Ninghai.

Zhen Changzai said as soon as someone entered the room.

"Why is it so cold in your room? Didn't the emperor order the heating to be turned on early? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold sitting here?"

When Baojuan saw that An agreed to sit in the room wearing only his underwear, she stopped Zhou Ninghai, who came with Zhen Changzai, outside the door.

Zhou Ninghai smiled and handed the tray in his hand to Baojuan.

"In that case, please trouble Miss Baojuan to take this in! I will be waiting for our young lady outside the door!"

Baojuan also smiled happily and nodded "yes", but rolled her eyes the moment she turned around.

For some reason, Baojuan just didn't like Zhou Ninghai. Every time she saw him, she always felt like he was up to something.

However, Zhou Ninghai served Zhen Changzai very well and was highly valued by Zhen Changzai, who always asked Zhou Ninghai to do all the errands.

Zhou Ninghai stared at Baojuan's back as she entered the room. The playful smile on his face just now disappeared and his eyes turned sinister.

He was brought into the palace to become a eunuch when he was young. He had endured all kinds of hardships and seen all kinds of looks.

Now following Zhen Changzai is just a temporary measure. It was his brother who asked him to come.

But Baojuan, who was just a small maid, dared to look down on him intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhou Ninghai remained calm and suppressed his dissatisfaction.

When An Ying heard that Zhen Changzai was coming, she put on the clothes that she had kept aside and didn't want to wear. However, she had been sitting in the room for a long time without a charcoal fire to warm herself, so her hands and feet were cold.

Zhen Changzai grabbed An Da Ying's cold and thin little hand, feeling very distressed.

"Sister, why are you doing this? As soon as I paid my respects to the Queen, I came to see you.

I was just afraid that you would be upset in the room, but I still came a little late."

Zhen Changzai looked at the scraps of cloth on the ground that Baojuan had not had time to pick up, then turned to An Da Ying and said.

"Since you don't like this dress, then you don't have to wear it.

I still have two new clothes that I haven't worn yet.

The color is light and pretty, and it suits my sister’s outfit very well.”

Baojuan hurried forward with the tray and said.

"Mrs. Zhen is so kind to our mistress. But just now I saw that our mistress was not wearing an outer coat.
I stopped the eunuch Zhou who was following you, and I hope you won’t worry too much~"

Zhen Changzai smiled, reached out to take the clothes on the tray, and said.

"You are a careful girl. Your young master is lucky to have you."

After trying the clothes on An Da Ying, Zhen Changzai pulled her up and walked to the dressing table together.

"Sister, you are beautiful, this light green dress is perfect for you.

Liuzhu, you have deft hands, please come and make a neat bun for An Ding.

Huanbi, please use your makeup skills to put on makeup for An Da Ying."

Zhen Changzai pressed down An Da Ying who stood up in a panic and said with a smile.

"Sister, just sit here, let's see how it looks like to dress up."

While Zhen Changzai was teaching An Yue to dress up, Nian Shilan already knew about it.

Nian Shilan stood up gracefully and said with a smile.

"It's time for me to let the emperor try out a new person."

Xiao Linzi hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his arm to support Nian Shilan, and he laughed.

"Master, do you want to promote An Da Ying?"

Year of the Landau.

"Why did I promote her? I just think that good bricks should be used in good places." When Nian Shilan arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Su Peisheng was standing outside the door.

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

When Su Peisheng met Nian Shilan, he bowed respectfully without hesitation.

Nian Shilan stopped and said.

"Eunuch Su, please stand up. It's so cold, why aren't you serving in the palace?
I remember that the Emperor has always been kind to you."

Su Peisheng apologized with a smile.

"Reporting to the Queen, the Emperor has always been kind to us servants. But today there are several military ministers in the room discussing matters.
It was inconvenient for me to stay inside, so I hurried out. I just wanted to tell the Empress that the Emperor was busy.

Year of the Landau.

"Oh? The military ministers are discussing matters inside? Then please, Eunuch Su, go back and report to the emperor. I will leave first."

Su Peisheng said again.

"How about you wait in the West Warm Pavilion for a while? Allow me to go in and report to the Emperor.

The West Warm Pavilion is warm. You have come here on such a cold day, and I cannot bear to see you go back."

Nian Shilan smiled when she heard that, and that smile made Su Peisheng's eyes dazzled.

"Then I'll trouble Eunuch Su to pass on the message. I'll go to the side hall and wait there first."

Nian Shilan waited in the west warm pavilion for about half an hour and drank three cups of tea, but she did not look anxious at all and just sat there quietly.

The door curtain moved, Su Peisheng lifted the curtain, and Yinzhen walked in.

Nian Shilan stood up slowly, walked towards Yinzhen and greeted him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well~"

Yinzhen had just finished talking with the minister of military affairs. When he heard Su Peisheng say that Nian Shilan and others had been in the west warm pavilion for a long time, he walked over leisurely, just to stretch his muscles.

"Get up. Why is Shilan here at this time? It's not even dark yet."

Yinzhen teased Nian Shilan with a smile, which made Nian Shilan's face suddenly turn red and she said coquettishly.

"Your Majesty~"

As soon as the tender and gentle voice of "Your Majesty" came out, Yinzhen felt his body, which had been tired for half a day, suddenly soften.

He couldn't help but grab Nian Shilan's hand, took her to sit on the couch, and glanced at her with a smile.

"I have been tired for half a day. Could you please help me relax my muscles?"

Nian Shilan said seriously.

"I will serve the emperor~"

But as soon as they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Yinzhen was always relaxed in front of Nian Shilan and would not force her to do anything.

Therefore, Nian Shilan also presents a casual look.

Nian Shilan pretended to rub Yinzhen's shoulders, and then used the excuse that her arms were sore and she couldn't move, and refused to do anything else.

But Yinzhen grabbed her hand and said with a mischievous look on his face.

"Why are you becoming more lazy, Shilan? Hmm? I remember that you are very good at whipping.

If it weren't for your whip that entangled me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here today.

You just rubbed my shoulders a few times and your arms are already hurting?"

Nian Shilan subconsciously dodged backwards with a flattering smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I have been feeling much weaker since I gave birth to Hongli.

Now, don't even mention asking me to use a whip. Even if you make me a whip,
I really can't use any strength in my hands~
Besides, the Emperor spends all day in my Yikun Palace.
Or maybe I'll come to the Yangxin Palace to serve you. There are so many rumors in the palace~
I have some free time to think about whether there are any sisters in the palace who have not yet slept with me.

How about, Your Majesty, give them some attention?"
