The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 352 Can't Sleep

There were suddenly dark circles under Zhen Chang's eyes on his fair face, and Nian Shilan could only laugh to herself.

We have just started, and you can’t sleep for the whole night?

Jingpin was a kind-hearted person. Seeing Zhen Chang looking a little haggard, she couldn't help but express her concern.

"What's wrong with you, sister? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Facing Jingpin's concern that didn't seem fake, Zhen Changzai raised her hand and touched her face, then replied with a shy smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Jingpin. I drank too much tea before going to bed last night and somehow I couldn't sleep.

I didn't fall into a drowsy sleep until the second half of the night. I was so sleepy this morning that I was late even in paying my respects to the Queen.

Fortunately, the Queen is kind and does not blame me. But the black eye on my face has made Concubine Jing worried. "

Jingpin said a few more words of concern and then stopped talking.

Fu Changzai has been pregnant for nearly four months and is already showing signs of pregnancy.

It’s just that the clothes of the concubines don’t show their waists very well, so you can only see their shape when they sit down.

At this time, Fu Changzai put his hand on his lower abdomen, touched his increasingly bulging belly, and smiled.

"Sister Zhen is used to drinking tea, so she shouldn't suffer from insomnia because of drinking too much tea.

Did you get some good tea yesterday? The tea is too strong and you can't get used to it?"

Zhen Changzai faced the emperor's new favorite. Although she entered the palace earlier, she did not have as good a fate as Fu Changzai.

"Mr. Fu is joking. What good tea can I have? It's just some tea from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Unlike Concubine Fu, who is favored by the emperor and has all the good tea she wants, I really envy her."

Fu Changzai looked obedient and opened his innocent eyes.

"Sister Zhen, there is something I don't understand. Please help me solve it."

Zhen Changzai frowned secretly. Did Fu Changzai, who was born as a palace maid, really not understand what she meant, or was she pretending not to understand?

"Please tell me, Mr. Fu. I may not be able to answer your questions, but I am willing to listen."

No one at the table interrupted, and they just watched the two concubines, who were also constant concubines, interacting with each other.

Fu Changzai really looked confused and frowned.

"My sister came to the palace before me and appeared before the emperor, but I heard that she has not yet served him in bed.

At first I thought that my sister didn’t want to sleep with me, but our emperor is the most handsome man in the world.

If my sister doesn't want to sleep with a man like this, I wonder what kind of man she really likes?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!

Fu Changzai is talking about something that is not related to the topic. It's like calling a monk a bald donkey!

But looking at Fu Changzai's behavior during the day, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who speaks without thinking, so why did Fu Changzai suddenly attack Zhen Changzai?
Ulanara couldn't help but glance at Fu Changzai. She thought that when this little palace maid was by her side before, she had misjudged her and didn't see anything special about her.

Nian Shilan just chuckled, but immediately sat up straight as if nothing had happened.

Zhen Changzai, who was asked by Fu Changzai to "solve the doubts", had a red face at this time. An Da Ying, who had never served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber like her, almost overflowed from her eyes with anger, but quickly lowered his head to hide his emotions.

The usual peace and quiet seemed to be burned by a fire, but Zhen Changzai was like a house, temporarily suppressing the fire so that it didn't spread out of the house.

Huanbi, who was standing behind Zhen Changzai, also blushed and opened her mouth to speak.

"Please be careful with your words, Fu Changzai!"

Xing'er, the palace maid who served Fu Chang personally, was very dissatisfied.

"Miss Huanbi, please be careful with your words! Our young lady is a concubine after all. It is not your turn to talk nonsense!" Seeing that the war was about to break out, Ulanara, who had been silent for a long time, signaled Jianqiu to speak.

"Shut up! The masters haven't said anything yet, but you are the ones making so much noise.

How disgraceful to do this in front of the Queen!"

Huanbi and Xing'er immediately lowered their heads and dared not say another word.

Zhen Chang's flushed face regained some color, and there was no emotion in her tone, which was steady, as if she was talking about someone else.

"I remember Fu Changzai is not young anymore, why is he still so rash in his speech?

I broke my leg a while ago and had to rest for a long time. Our emperor is naturally the most handsome man in the world.
But the emperor is the ruler of a country and is busy with state affairs, so he doesn't often come to the harem.

Since Fu Changzai was promoted to the throne and has won the emperor's favor, she has been very happy. Please ask Fu Changzai to serve the emperor well."

Fu Changzai didn't pursue the matter any further and just said "Oh" like a child, totally ignoring Zhen Changzai's expression. She turned around and spoke to Ulanara.

"My Queen, I have a big appetite lately, but the Imperial Kitchen needs to take care of everyone's tastes.
Sometimes I don’t like the dishes you cook. I want to ask for the Queen’s grace~”

Ulanara looked at Fu Changzai with a complicated expression and said patiently.

"Oh? A good appetite is a good thing. The emperor has ordered that pregnant concubines should eat whatever they want.
Just ask the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it. But Fu Chang is saying this, but do you have other ideas? "

Fu Changzai smiled embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I do have other considerations. I think,

Could you please ask the Queen to instruct the Imperial Kitchen to give me an extra portion of tea every afternoon?"

Ulanara breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Fu Changzai was going to ask for some huge reward, but she didn't expect it was just an extra snack.

"Is it worth it for you to ask me for help on such a small matter? I will ask someone to tell the imperial kitchen in a moment.

For your daily snacks, just make what you like and eat whatever you want without any scruples. ”

Ulanara said to Fu Changzai with a smile on her face.

Xidefu Changzai quickly stood up and saluted.

"Thank you, Queen~"

Nian Shilan, who had been watching coldly, began to feel confused.

Fu Changzai is almost four months pregnant, and the fetus is already firmly established after three months.

But if you don't eat properly, it can still be very dangerous.

Every time Fu Chang eats one more meal a day, she has one more chance to poison others. Is she really not afraid?

Zhen Changzai was so embarrassed by Fu Changzai's question today that she left Jingren Palace with a gloomy face and was unwilling to speak.

She even ignored Concubine Shen when she called her.

Concubine Shen looked at An Da Ying who was chasing after Concubine Zhen, and was about to catch up to comfort Concubine Zhen.

Xiao Linzi's voice came from behind.

"Lady Shen, Concubine Hua said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has received some new tribute tangerines.

Concubine Hua is thinking about your favorite food, in addition to the ones in the Queen's palace,
You are asked to pick the rest first, and then distribute the rest to the concubines in each palace.

Concubine Hua said that this was a delicate job and needed to be done by a careful person.

So please go and have a look."

Caiyue looked at Concubine Shen, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself. Concubine Shen gently shook her head and turned to Xiao Linzi.

"I understand. Eunuch Lin has taken great pains to inform me. I will go and see how the tangerines are divided. Please report this to Concubine Hua and ask her to rest assured."
