The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 42 Contraceptive Decoction
When Nian Shilan woke up, Yinzhen had already gone to the morning court.

She sat up slowly, rubbing her waist. Her collar was loose, revealing a bright color.

Her well-maintained long hair was draped over her shoulders like ink. She looked delicate and lazy in a water-red nightgown just after waking up.

This was the scene Songzhi saw when she came in to help Nian Shilan wash up.

Her breathing paused.

Songzhi knew from a young age that her eldest daughter was extremely beautiful.

Nian Shilan has never been the kind of woman who is as delicate and weak as a willow in the wind.

Every inch of her skin was as white as jade, and every muscle and bone was extremely moist.

But the amount of flesh on her body is just right, one more would be too much, one less would be too little.

Even if she wears any random piece of clothing on Nian Shilan, it will look much more expensive.

Therefore, Nian Xialing and his wife held her in their hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in their mouths for fear of her melting, for fear that their daughter would suffer any injustice.

Nian Shilan had a very smooth life since childhood, so she had an arrogant and straightforward personality. But after she fell inexplicably last summer, she seemed like a different person.

Others may not be able to see the changes in Nian Shilan's personality, but Songzhi, who is with her every day, knows it very clearly.

My master has changed.

Nian Shilan saw Songzhi staring at her blankly, so she lowered her head following Songzhi's gaze and realized that her collar was open.

She stretched out her bare hands and buttoned her clothes.

He said to Songzhi, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Haven't you seen what I look like?"

Songzhi came back to her senses and walked forward with a smile.

"Master, please forgive me. It's because you are so beautiful that I was stunned for a moment."

"When did you learn to be so slick? Go, bring the bowl."

Nian Shilan said angrily.

Songzhi answered yes and turned to the small kitchen to bring out a small bowl filled with brown liquid. It was the contraceptive that Nian Shilan asked her mother to secretly find for her.

"Master, do you really want to drink? I am worried about your health."

Nian Shilan took the bowl of medicine and drank it all.

A drop of medicine flowed down the corner of her mouth, and Songzhi hurriedly wiped it clean with the silk handkerchief in her hand.

"Why are you worried? There's nothing to worry about. I just don't want to get pregnant for the time being."

Nian Shilan said this carelessly, thinking of the male fetus in the previous life who had already taken shape but was instigated by Ulanara to kill the concubine Qi, who later became Concubine Duan, because of a bowl of soup with abortion medicine added.

I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.

Songzhi stopped talking and silently helped Nian Shilan to get up and dress up.

When Nian Shilan arrived at Ulanara's Xingfuyuan, she was the last one to arrive. She greeted Ulanara and said, "May the wife be blessed."

The hand movements are casual and unfocused.

After greeting her, he didn't wait for Ulanara to speak, but went straight to sit down below her.

Ulanara had a seemingly normal expression on her face, just smiled faintly and asked the maid to serve tea.

"Sister, you seem tired today, but were you tired last night?"

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I really didn't sleep well last night. I will go back later and make up for the sleep. Now I have greeted Madam and will go back first."

Nian Shilan smiled and stared into Ulanara's eyes.

She tried to find a hint of annoyance in Ulanara's eyes. She wanted to see what was behind Ulanara's gentle face.

Unfortunately, Ulanara was well-known for her virtue, and at this moment, the look she gave Nian Shilan was only somewhat tolerant.

"Since you are tired, I will end my greetings here today. Go back slowly, sisters, and don't let the dew last night slip your feet."

After saying this, Ulanara smiled and watched the rest of the people leave.

Feng and Duan were the last to come.

Duan quietly watched Nian Shilan, Hu Gege and Shu Gege walk away, then she slowly walked back with Feng to Jianjiaxuan where they lived.

As they walked along the road, Duan said, "You said this concubine, she always says something ambiguous when she pays respects every day. How come she isn't angry?"

Feng raised her head and looked around. There were only maids following them, and in the distance there were a few young eunuchs sweeping the floor.

She looked at Duan, who had a pretty face, her fair skin glowing with radiance, and a well-tailored pink Manchu dress.

Although she was a concubine like her, Duan's father was Duan Xunqi, the Zanshan of Zuochunfang, a sixth-rank official.

Duan should also be favored at home and her dowry should also be generous.

I just don't know why, with such a family background, she would be willing to become a concubine in the palace.

Feng thought that maybe in the capital city where a brick could hit an official if thrown, the sixth-rank Zuo Chunfang Zanshan also wanted to have someone to rely on in the court.

"You and I have just entered the mansion, and I think Fu Jin is a gentle and generous person. I think as long as you and I behave ourselves, Fu Jin will not make things difficult for us."

Feng said.

"What am I telling you, and what are you telling me?"

Duan was dissatisfied, but Feng did not answer her. Instead, she talked about Fu Jin's gentleness. Who could not see that?

Even a new concubine like herself could see that Mrs. Fu was not a good mistress who would make things difficult for others.

Feng said nothing more. She hadn't even seen the prince yet.

I don’t know what the situation will be like in the future.
