The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 44 Prince Yinreng
After paying her respects, Nian Shilan walked away at Yinzhen's signal.

The attack put his mind at rest. As for Yinzhen's situation, Nian Shilan began to see some clues.

In the previous life, we only knew that Yinzhen was the final winner, and Nian Shilan was a concubine in the prince's palace, and she lived a life of luxury for many years.

Nian Shilan only heard about the final result of how Nian Gengyao and Longkodo helped him achieve his great cause.

Then she was carried into the palace and became the precious Concubine Hua.

Men like them have always believed that women only need to take care of household chores.

But he couldn't give up the fact that the woman had a strong enough family to support him.

In the previous life, Nian Shilan was very happy and never asked about Yinzhen's affairs outside.

All I know is that he has encountered danger before, but not as frequently as in this life.

Could it be that the process of the princes fighting for the throne is also different in this life?
Nian Shilan was lost in thought, while Yinzhen, not far away, walked towards the head thrown on the ground by the prince.

Yinreng watched Yinzhen walk over, then suddenly turned around and looked quickly at Nian Shilan.

Nian must be the sister of Nian Gengyao, the commander of the Baoyi Guards who rode alone with a spear into the enemy camp and captured the enemy commander alive during the expedition against Dzungar.

Yinreng had heard before that the eldest daughter of Huguang Governor Nian Xialing was extremely beautiful, but she seldom mingled with the ladies of the nobility or attended elegant gatherings, poetry gatherings and banquets.

Yinreng was already the crown prince publicly appointed by the emperor, so there were few opportunities for them to meet.

Yinreng just treated it as a joke and stopped listening.

The next time he heard rumors about the daughter of the Nian family, it was because his fourth brother had taken a fancy to her at the imperial autumn examination last year and had boldly proposed to her.

Yinreng knew that ever since his fourth brother's wife, the eldest daughter of Fei Yanggu's family in the Anbei General's Mansion, married him and died in childbirth, there was almost no woman in his heart.

The other princes all had sons and daughters, but this fourth brother had no children.

So he asked the emperor to marry the daughter of the governor of Huguang, and the emperor and Concubine De agreed almost immediately.

There are not so many rules for marrying a concubine. A concubine is a concubine.

Unlike marrying a wife, which requires three books and six ceremonies, all kinds of procedures can take a year or even several years to prepare.

When the concubine came in, the process was simplified a lot.

Therefore, it only took four months from the time the marriage was arranged to when Nian entered the family.

When I saw this Nian today, I realized that the rumors were true. She is indeed very beautiful.

It’s just a pity that he followed the fourth brother.

Nian Shilan felt a pair of eyes looking at her. She did not look for that gaze, but just a glance at it and she knew it was Crown Prince Yinreng.

After inspecting the traces of the attack on the horse farm, Yinzhen came before Yinreng.

He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I was in danger today, fortunately His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to my rescue. But my concubine was frightened, so I will take her back home first. I will go to the Crown Prince's mansion to thank His Royal Highness some other day."

The prince laughed when he heard this, "Fourth brother, why should you be so polite? You and I are brothers. Although we are not born of the same mother, we are both sons of the emperor. Then take your sister-in-law back first, and we will meet again some other day." "Thank you, Your Highness. Although we are brothers, etiquette cannot be abolished. You are the crown prince, the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and I should observe etiquette."

Yinzhen still clasped his fists and bowed.

Yinreng kept smiling, waved his hand, and sent Yinzhen back first.

He just stared at the figures of Yinzhen and Nian Shilan getting on the carriage and going back, as if thinking about something.

The guards came forward to ask for instructions on how to deal with these assassins at the horse farm.

Yinreng said casually: "It's useless now, you guys can deal with it."

Even the servants at the horse farm today were replaced by Yinreng.

Yinzhen and Nian Shilan rode in a carriage back to the mansion. He leaned against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, and Nian Shilan sat on his left.

Nian Shilan looked at him for a few times, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to follow so many rules when you're out."

Yinzhen still had his eyes closed and spoke lazily.

Nian Shilan asked worriedly, "Master, it has been a bit uneasy lately. Did you offend anyone?"

In fact, Nian Shilan's mind is as clear as a mirror, so how could she offend anyone?

Now there is a crown prince publicly appointed by the emperor, but can the emperor control everyone's thoughts?

Yinzhen is the most thoughtful person, but he still looks gentle and harmless now.

He is also the most suspicious person, otherwise how could he have made it to the end.

After what happened today, even Nian Shilan didn't believe that this was the "he" that Crown Prince Yinreng was referring to.

But Nian Shilan couldn't show anything. After all, Yinzhen's thoughts were a secret now.

Yinzhen closed his eyes and did not answer Nian Shilan's words.

The carriage jolted forward.

Su Peisheng sat with the coachman and drove the car, sighing in his heart.

I don’t know what our prince has offended recently, why are there assassins everywhere?

Su Peisheng had followed Yinzhen for many years, and he could vaguely guess something, but he didn't dare to believe it.

However, he would definitely follow whatever his prince wanted to do.

Let’s take it one step at a time, Su Peisheng thought to himself.
