The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 399 Red Spot
“Your Majesty, when I saw that Concubine Li was unhappy, I did speak up to change the subject.

But Concubine Li suddenly attacked the concubines and was very disrespectful to the Empress in her words.

Zhen Changzai couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out for justice."

Cao Changzai also knelt on the ground, very carefully.

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Cao carefully and saw that she had changed out of the half-new clothes she usually wore.

Today she was wearing a dress made of light blue heavy lotus brocade, and her hair was pinned with a few silver hairpins with sapphires, which was a pleasant sight.

Compared to her previous attire which always looked a bit old-fashioned, Yinzhen discovered for the first time that Cao Changzai was also a beautiful woman.

In the past, he always felt that Concubine Cao was forced upon him. Yinzhen didn't like her very much and seldom visited her.

Yinzhen put aside his charming thoughts and nodded.

"In that case, what Zhen Changzai said is the truth.

Lady Li, I never thought you would be so bold behind my back.

He dared to make irresponsible remarks about the Queen and refused to repent or admit his mistakes.

But I will not punish you during this first month of the year.

Let's see how the Queen handles it."

Ulanara sighed in her heart, this noble lady Li was really useless.

So, under Li Guiren's earnest plea, Ulanara only fined her one month's salary.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen did not comment, but only ordered Su Peisheng to announce the start of the banquet.

But during the meal Yinzhen always felt that someone was looking at him. He followed the gaze and saw Zhen Changzai lowering her head shyly.

Yinzhen was stunned. The moment Zhen Chang lowered her head, he seemed to see Yunxi's former appearance.

An Changzai raised her glass with a smile, leaned close to Zhen Changzai and whispered.

"Sister, congratulate your sister first. The emperor looked at your sister several times."

Zhen Changzai blushed instantly and pointed at An Changzai's forehead in a reproachful manner.

"You've learned to tease me!"

An Changzai dodged Zhen Changzai's hand with a sweet smile and clinked her wine glass with hers.

"Sister, drink a little more. Your face will be rosy soon and the emperor will like you even more!"

Seeing that An Changzai was becoming more and more inappropriate, Zhen Changzai reached out to pinch her face and joked with her.

But the moment he raised his sleeve, he accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the wine spilled everywhere.

The wine flowed down the table, and Zhen Changzai was unable to avoid it, so his body was also stained with the wine.

The person who poured wine for her was a little palace maid with a round face. When she saw that the wine had soaked Zhen Changzai's clothes, she was so panicked that she was about to kneel down.

Zhen Changzai said hurriedly.

"It's okay, I'll just go change my clothes."

The little palace maid hurriedly stood up and was about to take Zhen Changzai to change her clothes.

Zhen Changzai shook her clothes gently, and the wine quickly spread over them.

A scent of wine wafted from her Shu brocade clothes today.

Huanbi said angrily to the little palace maid.

"Do you know that the dress our young master is wearing today is made of very valuable Shu brocade?

It takes ten embroiderers in Shu three months to embroider one piece!
I finally got this set of clothes, but you ruined it with your careless hands!"

After being scolded by Huanbi, the little palace maid immediately wanted to kneel down again.

Zhen Changzai said softly.

"Huanbi, you can't do this. It's just a set of clothes, if it gets wet, just change it.

But today the dress is brightly colored, and the wine spilled on it would be very conspicuous.

Just accompany me to change clothes. Why would you do anything difficult for her?
I guess she doesn’t want this.”

The little palace maid burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you for your sympathy! This girl scolded me.

I have no complaints, it was my fault.

In order to make up for my mistake, I will take you to the side hall to change into new clothes. As you know, there will be new clothes for every banquet.

I remember that among the clothes I prepared today, there is one that is very similar in color to yours.

My dear, please follow me and take a look!"

Zhen Changzai said with a smile.

"In that case, thank you very much."

After saying this, she left the table and took Huanbi and the little palace maid to the side hall.

Only Liu Zhu was left at Zhen Changzai's seat.

After a while, the little palace maid came back.

"Is this Sister Liu Zhu? Lady Zhen said that she wants you to go to the side hall and help her to dress up again.

I accidentally messed up my hair when I was changing clothes just now, and none of the servants know how to comb Miss Zhen's hair today.

I have to ask Sister Liu Zhu to go there again."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhu hurriedly followed the little palace maid out.

It was not appropriate for An Chang to go and watch at this time, so she concentrated on enjoying the singing and dancing in the hall.

At some point a palace maid quietly came in, cleared away all of Zhen Changzai's cups, plates and bowls, and replaced them with a new set.

He even filled the newly replaced wine cups with fine wine.

When Zhen Changzai came in with new clothes, An Changzai saw that she was exactly the same as before.

Except that the material of the clothes was not as shiny as Shu brocade, there was no other difference from before.

"Sister, please sit down. You've been busy all night. Have a drink to relieve your fatigue."

Concubine Wan was really upset in Suiyuxuan, but she didn't know what to do, so she called Li Yibai.

"Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Li Yibai just thought that he was incompetent and had no clue yet.

Concubine Wan sent Li Yibai away in a distracted manner, drank the medicine brought by Cui Jinxi, and went to bed early.

Nian Shilan turned the wine glass in her hand and listened to Xiao Linzi whispering beside her.

"Master, it's done."

Nian Shilan smiled knowingly and drank the wine in the glass.

Yinzhen looked at the blush on Nian Shilan's pretty face and guessed that it was because of drinking, so he waved to Su Peisheng to come over.

"Go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover soup and send it to the Yikun Palace. After a while, the banquet was over.
Hua Fei can drink it when she gets home. By the way, remember not to make it too sweet, Hua Fei doesn’t like soups that are too sweet.”

Su Peisheng quickly agreed and went to give instructions to the imperial kitchen.

However, Zhen Changzai failed to attract Yinzhen's attention during the banquet. After the banquet, she returned to her Guanju Tower and felt uncomfortable.

She was drunk and couldn't help complaining.

“I have been in the palace for so long, but the emperor has always ignored me.

If this continues, when will we be able to get out of this situation? "

Huanbi came over with a cup of tea, and Zhen Changzai was leaning against the table with his hand on his forehead.

"My dear, have a cup of tea to sober you up.

I saw you talking to An Chang today.
I drank a lot.

However, the emperor drank too much today and did not summon anyone.

You can rest a little more at ease now, young master."

Zhen Chang is on the road.

"Oh, rest assured. How can I feel at ease?
I have thrown away all the moral principles and integrity I had since childhood.
This also caused Concubine Li to mock me.

But the emperor still didn't look at me.
Huanbi, tell me, how can I feel at ease?

How can a father feel at ease without a son at home? "

Huanbi didn't know how to comfort Zhen Changzai. She was thinking about what to say to make Zhen Changzai happy when suddenly Liuzhu screamed.

"What happened to your face? Why are there so many red spots all of a sudden?"

Zhen Chang, who was drunk, sobered up instantly after hearing the words and stumbled towards the dressing table.
