The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 374 Singing All Night

An agreed and took one last look at herself in the mirror. The rouge was applied just right, making her look pink but not seductive.

“Sister is proud to the core, and what you said is true.

Then I won’t bother my sister for the next two days.

I will go to Guanju Tower when she is in a better mood."

In the Yikun Palace, Xiao Linzi came to report that An Da Ying was sent to the Yangxin Palace.

Nian Shilan was holding a silver hairpin and stirring the unburned incense in the incense burner.

Xiao Linzi said.

"Master, you are so good at foresight! You gave the Shu brocade to Concubine Shen.
She really wanted to give it to Zhen Changzai.

It’s a pity that Zhen Changzai didn’t appreciate it, and a rift broke out between the two of them.

You also said in front of the emperor that the emperor had not seen Shen Guiren for a long time.
Now that you have earned a reputation as a virtuous person in front of the emperor,
He also quietly blocked Zhen Changzai's way to the emperor's bedchamber.
The master is really amazing!"

Nian Shilan smiled, handed the silver hairpin in her hand to Songzhi, and sat down.

Are you good enough?
If he was powerful, how could his property be confiscated in the previous life and how could he die miserably in the cold palace with such despair?
Doing it all over again, I just understood everyone's personality better.

Both Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen are proud people in their bones. I had intended to promote Concubine Shen before, but I had been preventing Concubine Zhen from gaining favor.

Moreover, she did it without making a sound, so no one could tell that the reason why Concubine Zhen had not slept with him until now was related to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan also intended to bring Zhen Changzai together with the sensitive An Da Ying. Over time, and as they both were never favored, their personalities became more and more similar.

Noble Lady Shen has the favor of the Emperor and the support of Concubine Hua. Everything she wears and what she wears on her head stands out among the other concubines.

Given Zhen's personality, even if she didn't say it, she would gradually develop resentment in her heart.

Today was just the opportunity that came and the two of them had a quarrel.

He then urged Yinzhen to go to Concubine Shen's place, and just in time he saw Concubine Shen crying because of being angered by Zhen.

Given Yinzhen's personality, how could he favor Zhen again at this time?
Even with Concubine Shen's strong recommendation, to Yinzhen it only confirmed that Concubine Shen was virtuous and Concubine Zhen was unreasonable.

Nian Shilan thought, this is just the beginning.

I must suppress Zhen Changzai so that she can't raise her head. Otherwise, with her intelligence and talent, once she gains favor, she will definitely become my enemy.

There were bursts of singing coming from the Yangxin Palace. Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi, who were serving outside, looked at each other in surprise.

This has never happened before.

Concubines always made no noise when they slept with the emperor.

Occasionally, some concubines wanted to please the emperor, but they would just rack their brains to chat and laugh with him for a while after the clouds and rain stopped.

It is really rare to hear bursts of singing like today.

Xiao Xiazi looked around and saw that the guards were all standing far away.

He took a few steps closer to Su Peisheng and whispered mysteriously.

"Master, how should I serve you?"

What Xiao Xiazi meant was that the time had already passed.

According to the rules of our ancestors, Zi'an should have been carried away by now.

Except for Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Wan who were occasionally allowed to stay overnight in the Yangxin Palace, concubines were almost never allowed to stay overnight in the palace.

Because I was worried that the emperor would not sleep well.

But it has been so long today and the emperor has not summoned me yet.

Xu Zhongwei, the chief steward of the Jingshifang, frowned and moved closer to Su Peisheng.

"Eunuch Su, what do you think we should do?
I have urged you once just now, and I dare not urge you again."

Su Peisheng looked at Xiao Xia Zi, then at Xu Zhongwei, and sighed.

"What else can I do? It's rare that the emperor is in a good mood today.
Look, I like An again and agree.

Let's just wait outside!"

So the next morning, the news that An had won the emperor's favor and was named An Changzai spread throughout the harem. Ulanara smiled as she looked at An Changzai in front of her. She was kneeling on the ground, respectfully and rigorously performing the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows.

Finally, An Changzai finished her ceremony and Ulanara hurriedly spoke.

"Okay, get up quickly. You just slept with me last night.
I should have had a good rest today.

There is still a long way to go before we can pay our respects, so why rush it now?"

An Changzai was helped to stand up by Baojuan, and the smile on Baojuan's face never faded.

An Changzai lowered his head and said.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your grace. Although I have been in the palace for a short time,
But I heard that according to the rules of our ancestors, the concubines must

Everyone should pay their respects to the Empress.

I dare not forget the rules and hurried to pay my respects to the Queen.

Long live the Queen!"

Ulanara smiled and said,

"You are just too obedient."

Then he said to the other concubines.

"You should also learn to be more reserved and obedient like An Changzai.
It’s just that An Changzai is the one who would make a big splash if he does make a move.

I woke up early and heard Su Peisheng come to deliver the decree.
It is said that the emperor has informed the six palaces that Jin'an has agreed to be a concubine.
This palace knows that An Chang is trying to make the emperor happy.

As long as the emperor is happy, I will be happy too.

An Changzai has made great contributions, and I have already prepared a reward for you.

Do you like it after seeing it?"

An Changzai thanked him and leaned over to look at what Huichun and Xiuxia were holding.

On a tray are two tourmaline eighteen-seed bracelets, a pair of gold-inlaid pearl rings, and a pair of gold filigree bracelets with floral and bird patterns.

On another tray was a white jade statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.

The corners of the Guanyin statue's mouth are slightly raised, with a compassionate expression, and looking at the image makes people feel warm.

An Changzai liked it very much at first sight and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

But for some reason, as soon as she lifted her skirt and was about to kneel, her face turned red and her feet staggered and she seemed unable to stand.

Baojuan was quick to act and helped An Changzai to stand firmly on the ground.

An Changzai's face turned even redder, and she stood there awkwardly.

Among those sitting in the palace, except for Zhen Changzai who had never served him in bed, what else did the other concubines who had served him in bed not understand?
Concubine Li spoke first, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing uncontrollably.

"Sister An, you have to be careful.

I think you are too weak.
I guess Sister An is really tired?"

When An Changzai heard this, her face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.

Li Guiren also said.

"Aren't you really tired? I heard that An Chang sang all night last night~
Hey, tell me, is singing tiring?
What a pity, I have never been good at pleasing others since primary school.
I don’t even know if I’m tired from singing all night.”

Concubine Li and Concubine Li had always been at odds with each other, so at this moment they smiled unceremoniously.

"You should save your mind. How old are you? How old is An Changzai?

They sing all night because they have the skills and the energy.

Don’t you think about it, have you?”

Concubine Li sneered, completely ignoring the embarrassed expressions of the other concubines.

Nian Shilan was holding the tea bowl and stirring the tea leaves in the water, but no emotion could be heard in her voice.

"Has Lady Li forgotten the Emperor's instructions because she hasn't seen him for a long time?

Don't look at what is inappropriate, don't say what is inappropriate. But you turned a deaf ear to the emperor's words.
I was worried about you~"
