The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 387 What Do You Think?
Su Peisheng followed Nian Shilan's gaze towards the sky, only to find the falling snow an eyesore.

Tonight should have been a good day, but Empress Dowager De caused a scene in the Qianqing Palace.

Since the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace, he locked himself in the room.

After finally saying that he wanted to see Concubine Hua, Su Peisheng hurried to Yikun Palace.

When Concubine Hua came, she just focused on looking at the falling snow, which made Su Peisheng more and more anxious.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for you in the main hall."

Su Peisheng stood beside Nian Shilan with his back bent, and couldn't help but remind her.

Nian Shilan retracted her gaze, looked at Su Peisheng and smiled.

"Eunuch Su, why are you in such a hurry? It would be a shame if we don't see such a beautiful scenery."

Su Peisheng lowered his head and said.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's not that I disturbed your pleasure, but the Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time.

I am afraid that the emperor may be getting impatient, so I dare to remind you.

Nian Shilan did not make things difficult for Su Peisheng. She gathered her cloak and said.

"It doesn't matter, you are the one serving the emperor, so you should consider everything for the emperor.

I will go in to see the Emperor, and none of you are allowed to come in."

Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nian Shilan step into the hall.

The Emperor doesn't want to see anyone and is biased against Concubine Hua. Is this good or bad?
Forget it, there’s no point thinking about these things. As long as the emperor likes it, it’s fine.

Yinzhen heard the sound of footsteps in the hall, looked up and saw it was Nian Shilan.

She was still wearing the auspicious dress she had worn to the palace banquet, and was also wearing a set of luxurious kingfisher feather headdress.

A cloak of the same color is also worn over the auspicious dress.

Nian Shilan walked with great grace, but the hairpins on her head were steady and did not shake.

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes, and Nian Shilan took small steps forward to greet him.

"The hour of midnight has passed, and the blessing of the new year has arrived. I pay my respects to the Emperor.

May His Majesty be blessed with long life and may the Qing Dynasty enjoy peace and prosperity.”

Nian Shilan's voice was as melodious as the song of an oriole and as refreshing as spring water. When Yinzhen heard it, it temporarily calmed the anger in his heart.

"Shilan, please get up. Will you blame me for calling you here so late?"

Nian Shilan stood up and walked to Yinzhen with a smile, but did not say anything. She just hooked Yinzhen's hand and helped him stand up.

When Yinzhen smelled the fragrance wafting from Nian Shilan's clothes, the anger in his heart subsided a little.

He stood up with the force from Nian Shilan's hand. Nian Shilan still didn't say anything, but smiled and took Yinzhen's hand and walked out the door.

Yinzhen was led out of the door by Nian Shilan. Outside, under the illumination of the candlelight, a layer of snowflakes had already floated on the floor of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The snowflakes in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, floating more and more densely, and the wind outside was gradually getting stronger.

Yinzhen was holding the hand of Nian Shilan, looking up, and the two stood side by side in the corridor, watching the snowflakes falling at the beginning of the new year.

Only then did Su Peisheng understand why Nian Shilan did not take off her cloak when she entered the hall.

just
The emperor came out of the palace, but he was not wearing a cloak!

Su Peisheng stepped back quietly and took out Yinzhen's sable fur coat.

But Yinzhen stretched out his hand to block Su Peisheng's hand from trying to put a sable fur coat on him.

"I want to cool down."

Nian Shilan took the sable fur coat from Su Peisheng and tried to put it on Yinzhen with a sweet smile.

"Your Majesty, I am here with you to enjoy the snow, but I dare not harm your health.

If you don't wear this mink fur coat, people will say that I am a seductive concubine who seduces the emperor."

Yinzhen finally smiled and turned around to grab Nian Shilan's white little hand.

"Your hands are warm. I'm looking forward to you teasing me."

Nian Shilan smiled and pulled her hand away from Yinzhen's and put on the sable fur coat for him.

"Didn't Your Majesty just say that he wanted to cool down? Now you're thinking about warming my hands again."

Yinzhen took Nian Shilan's hand again and placed it in his palm, looking at the snow falling from the sky.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. It snowed so heavily just after midnight.

This year will surely be a prosperous and peaceful year, which makes me feel very happy. "

Year of the Landau.

"The north wind is blowing snow at the beginning of the fourth watch, and it is auspicious for the heavens to send off the New Year. Although it is not the fourth watch now, such heavy snow is still appropriate. Your Majesty, am I right?"

Nian Shilan held Yinzhen's hand, looking for praise, and tilted her head to look at Yinzhen.

Since Nian Shilan became Consort Hua and concurrently served as the assistant manager of the six palaces, she has become more dignified.

Yinzhen hadn't seen Nian Shilan look so lovely for a long time.

He couldn't help but reach out and pinch Nian Shilan's face.

"You don't read books at home all day.
I didn't expect that I could recite two lines of poetry at the critical moment.
It’s really hard for you.”

Nian Shilan smiled and dodged Yinzhen's hand, then turned around and pulled Yinzhen into the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, please come into the palace. I will sit down and talk with you for a while.

Just think of it as Your Majesty and I staying up all night, okay?"

The young emperor was held by the hand by the beautiful concubine and followed her into the palace without saying a word.

But Su Peisheng could see the smile on Yinzhen's lips.

As expected, Concubine Hua is still the one who has to coax the Emperor.

Nian Shilan and Yinzhen entered the hall, and Nian Shilan took off the sable fur coats and cloaks that Yinzhen and herself were wearing.

He forced Yinzhen to sit on the couch, then stood beside him and asked the servant to bring him tea.

"Your Majesty just stood outside for a while. Now drink a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold."

Yinzhen took a sip of the tea and said.

"I really didn't find the wrong person. Now that you're here, I feel much better."

Nian Shilan naturally knew that Yinzhen was unhappy because of what happened in the Qianqing Palace tonight.

A wonderful New Year's Eve reunion was ruined by Empress Dowager De.

But Nian Shilan refused to mention this and just said.

"Your Majesty, I didn't eat enough tonight, and I'm a little hungry now."

Yinzhen called Su Peisheng and said to Nian Shilan.

"It's already late at night, so it's not appropriate to eat.

But since Shilan is hungry, I will allow you to eat something.

If you want to eat something, just ask Su Peisheng to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it."

Nian Shilan thought for a while and said.

"Then ask the imperial kitchen to send two bowls of wontons, and make a few appetizing and refreshing dishes."

Su Peisheng immediately went downstairs and ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare the meal that Concubine Hua wanted to eat.

Yinzhen said this.

"Shilan didn't even ask me why I was so angry?"

Year of the Landau.

"I am not stupid. The Empress Dowager made such a fuss tonight, it would be strange for the Emperor to be in a good mood.

Since His Majesty is in a bad mood, why should I bother to offend him?
However, this is a rare New Year's Eve when I am the only one accompanying the Emperor.

Your Majesty, do you think the snowflakes tonight are beautiful? "

Yinzhen said.

"No one has ever dragged me out to watch the snow in the middle of the night. Shi Lan is the first one."

Nian Shilan said with a proud smile.

"I think the snow scene tonight is so beautiful that it would be a pity to miss it.

Only then did I muster up the courage to take the emperor out to see it."

Yinzhen reached out and pinched Nian Shilan's nose unexpectedly.

"You know that I'm in a bad mood. How could I not know your little thoughts?"

Nian Shilan covered her nose and said coquettishly.

"Since Your Majesty knows that I am doing this for you, you should be kind and gentle to me.

Why are you pinching my nose?"

Yinzhen was amused by Nian Shilan's lovely appearance and felt much more relaxed.

"You are so bold. You have become my mother's man, and you still want me to be gentle with you.

I ask you, what did you think when the Queen Mother begged me to release Old Fourteen today? "
